As Eleana looked ahead, there was a beautiful lady standing in front of her. She even had a faint resemblance to herself. She pointed her sword straight at Eleana. Gradually a blue moon was rising behind her, making the scene awfully majestic as the woman said, "Only after defeating me will your trial be completed." She disappeared as her sword aimed at Eleana's throat. Eleana deflected that and moved back. But it seemed the space around was preventing her from moving.
Eleana was getting a taste of her own skills, but they were polished and refined to a higher extent. She was barely dodging and parrying the moves as her sword also shined, and two moons were hovering in the air. One was a bit faint, the other was fully formed. As they clashed with each other, the opponent was just perfect. Her moves, her confidence, and accurate use rendered Eleana a bit restless.
The figure stopped for a moment and said, "You are good but it will take more than that to become a legacy. I will finish this now." The moon suddenly started to move as she pointed at Eleana with her sword. She did not notice something. Eleana's moon had actually moved behind her just as her moon attacked Eleana. There was a tremendous clash of moonlight as a figure was barely standing up with her sword. Eleana's opponent moved closer to her and said, "You actually were able to defend that! You surprised me. But this is the end." As she moved to strike Eleana, Eleana's face was emotionless as her body shined a bit and her figure became translucent.
Her opponent had a look of shock as a second Eleana formed behind her. She formed from the moon. Then her sword pierced that figure as the figure fell. Eleana bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance. With your guidance I was able to figure out the final step for shifting my body to my conjured moon." Her opponent had a faint smile as she was disintegrating into motes of moonlight, "What is the name of this move?" Eleana said, "Drifting Moon," as the figure vanished and said, "It's a nice name...."
The whole realm Eleana was in burst forth as it formed specks of light and merged with her forehead. Her deep blue eyes became even more mesmerizing as they seemed to contain dazzling light in them.
In another secret area that seemed to be full of dazzling spirits roaming about, Eryssa was sitting down in meditation. The curious thing was the spirits seemed to be happy about Eryssa's presence. As the spirits of different colors, size and voice continued their singing, a figure similar to Eryssa seemed to emerge from herself. It had a spiritual resemblance to Eryssa as she seemed to protect the actual Eryssa by forming a protection around her.
Eryssa's face seemed to glow a bit, and her immaturity and gentleness seemed to fade as she accepted the knowledge of spirits. As the process almost completed, she said to herself, "Finally I have learnt the complete art of spirit guiding."
She got up and murmured, "Let's meet with him and the others."
....
Veer felt something forming inside him as his first star chakra was forming from the concentrated starlight provided to him by the ancestor. He was finally able to reach the end of the star dream realm where he got lost. As he opened his eyes, he could feel energy throughout his body so much that he could easily overpower any golden knight.
The ancestor was sitting in front of him as she asked, "Well, how are you feeling?" Veer answered as he bowed, "Thank you for your help." She looked at Veer for some time and said, "I want a favor from you. Let someone follow you to the human realm."
Veer was confused as the door opened and one of the sisters, Lythria, walked into the room. She seemed to become even more beautiful with her sharp eyebrows, deep black eyes and blond hair. She bowed as the ancestor nodded and said, "She will follow you to the human realm."
Veer asked her, "Is it really okay for her? I am really not sure about it. A lot of people seem to be after me, and if she follows me she will be involved unnecessarily."
The ancestor looked at him with a smile as she said, "She can handle that much. If she can't, that means she is not suited to become the leader of our race."
Lythria also expressed her opinion with a smile, "Don't worry about me. I can handle myself. Besides, there are two Chosen Ones among us."
The ancestor said, "Lythria, go and show him around our realm. Also send Mythria and Sylwen inside. Since the guests came from so far, we need to provide a proper celebration."
Lythria nodded as she took Veer's hand and went outside. Veer cast a glance at the lady in the picture while moving out. As they came out, Lythria said, "Sister and guardian Sylwen, the Ancestor is calling you two." Without waiting for their acknowledgement she took Veer and left the area.
As she moved, Lythria said, "Let's go to the best spot here." Veer nodded as he followed her. Just then he seemed to sense a gaze and uneasiness seemed to crawl up. He looked back but didn't see anyone. Lythria looked back and said, "What's wrong?" Veer shook his head and followed her.
Lythria was all happy and smiles as she greeted everyone. A lady from a fruit shop called her, "Oi Lythria, introduce your boyfriend to us..." As Veer's expression warped and Lythria's face turned beet red, she remarked, "No no, he is my friend." Veer had just one thought, "She is really cute." The shop owner teased, "Okay okay, I got it." She then got close to Veer and whispered, "This girl really likes you, give her a white lily if you get one." She then laughed and went back to her shop.
Lythria was silent as they walked as she said, "Don't mind her, she is just like that." Veer looked ahead to see they were crossing a bridge and flowers were flowing around. Looking at Lythria, whose clothes were fluttering in the wind, he went into a daze as he muttered, "The wind caresses the gentle soul that shines brighter than sunlight in the land of flowers."
Lythria pulled him and ran around a corner, and what greeted them was a field of flowers. It was so peaceful and so serene. From the two opposite ends of the road another white figure came into view heading his way, and from the other side a blond figure radiating warmth. Something was different about her.
Veer waved his hand to Eryssa as suddenly he seemed to not understand anything. The whole realm was melting just like wax. Everything around him warped as they were slowly falling away. As he was suffocating, he opened his eyes and found himself in a dark room.
What happened? Where am I? Veer wondered. As he looked in front of him, there was a blossoming white lotus. There seemed to be blood on it. As the starlight passed through the window of the unknown residence onto Veer, he fell into deep thoughts.
