13th February at midnight in the Birmingham Castle,
After the rest of the individuals left the castle, Mark sat for a while on his throne. The hall became dead silent by that time. He had been processing all the events happened during some times ago. He couldn't understand that, if everything was happening according to his painting at that morning, then why the result wasn't same as his painting.
At that very moment, the organizer of the secret meeting suddenly spoke from the background in a deep tone,
"Soon, little boy, a bleeding moon is about to take the sky... The waters will turn black... The trees will turn red... The slaughter will reach deep into the dark, subsconscious corners of your very flesh... Can you keep yourself safe from what wakes in the dark?"
Hearing that, Mark startled in terror.
"What do you mean? These same statements, I have heard in an anonymous phone call in the morning. What is all about this? I want to really know what's really happening which I don't know?"
The hall remained silent.
After a while without receiving any response, he finally got up from his throne. With a lot of anxiety, questions, and countless doubts, he left the castle silently...
...
After all of them left the castle, from the background, a young man dressed as an assassin in a black hood stepped out of the shadows. A faint smile flashed on his face behind his black mask. His appearance was as if a bug of a reality, that he shouldn't be present in that reality where he was already present long before that reality unfolded. The entire time, he was present in everybody's shadows, yet no one could even notice his presence, when every one of them except that little boy was on his same level. Still only he could find that little boy had more potential than others.
"Only that little boy fascinates me most than others. The wheel of time has turned... The Beacon is about to beacon on this cursed land very soon... I hope the person I chose, will be revealed as the right pawn in my entire plan..." He murmured.
After that, he completely disintegrated into the darkness.
In that morning at the other world,
The moment Azrael aka Ash commanded Lily to build a portal in that cave within that unknown ocean world, Lily immediately dissapeared from her place.
Within a few seconds after, suddenly in which spot Lily had been levitating as a clam, there a shiny golden radiant mysterious door was materialized in front of his surprised eyes. No fluctuations, no vibrations occured in the water due to such sudden emergence of that door.
After that, from on the top of that door, Lily appeared before him.
"Master, this is what you want. Through this door, we can easily travel to anywhere you want in your world..." She spoke with a flashed smile on her face.
"Okay. So let's go our world for now. We'll come here again later to explore more..." While saying that, he set foot beyond that golden door. Lily silently followed him.
As they stepped outside on the other side of that mysterious door, he found himself lied on the ground before that spot, from where he dissapeared. During his travel, he could sense his transparent body had gradually began to dissipate, as if he could lost from the existence at anytime. He thought perhaps only fairy Lin could answer all his doubts after he would find her because Lily couldn't solve all his doubts.
At that very moment, he discovered a tiny translucent ethereal ant-like creature lied unconsciously on his chest. He slowly put that creature on his a palm and instantly realized it was none other than Lily.
He was surprised of that scene because in that world, Lily was half of his height. But in his world, she had become so tiny.
However, with that, as he had already accepted her in his close circle, now his last resistance against her completely melted in that spot. He began to feel a strange compassion, attraction, and a caring emotion towards her.
He put her in his pocket with a love and care.
After that, he gradually stood up from the ground. He sensed the forest was unnaturally quiet at that time. He ignored that and looked at the surroundings. Only he was alone then with countless silent greeneries.
He realized it was too late. The main reason of his arrival into that forest perhaps went into vain. Many times had already passed from when he had come to the mountain forest with which intention.
After experiencing multiple miracles in his recent days, he had believed that, only if he became powerful supernaturally, he could reveal the real truths behind the scandal happened one years ago and thus he could find the traces of why and where his father dissapeared. However, for that, finding fairy Lin was very crucial for him. Only she knew how to extract that pale mysterious seed from the spear.
Thinking that, he gazed on the spear lied next to him for a moment. He vaguely felt that spear somewhat different from before. However, he ignored that feeling.
Still he didn't lose his hope.
He began continuing his search across the area.
This, a hour had passed away in a blink of an eye.
While searching fairy Lin, he finally arrived that place where Miss Sunflower was in her slumber for her advancement into 'Saint'.
Upon arriving in that place, he was surprised to find that, the area was filled with countless sunflowers, chrysanthemum flowers, night tulip flowers, and various unknown yet fragrant flowers. He could feel an incomparable ethereal lively aura spreading across the area. In his entire life, he couldn't even witness such amazing divine scenic view anywhere.
He instantly understood that, that area must be fairy Lin's shelter, as he sensed same kind of feeling in that sunflower garden. Without wasting any more time, he immediately entered into that area. He was shocked to feel that, in that area, not any plants did harm him or resist him to prevent him go further.
He smoothly reached into the core region of that area.
Upon reaching there, he was shocked to find a huge greenish-white colored egg laid at the center of the area. The size of the egg was approximately equal with a ten-storied building and widthwise it was about as huge as ten elephants. With a sky-high curiosity, he gently touched the skin of the egg.
Within a second, he was suddenly linked with Miss Sunflower mentally.
"Azrael, I was expecting you..."
The moment he touched the egg, that strange female voice came into his ears. He was shocked and trembled from inside. He then somehow gained his composure. He quickly removed his hand and took a few steps back.
At that very moment, a little sunflower next to him, suddenly began to speak.
"Azrael, don't be frightened. I'm in such a state right now, where I myself can't come to interact with you. So, I'm using mental telepathy to interact with you..."
Hearing the voice of her from the sunflower, he was amazed.
"Amazing, fairy Lin. I'm so happy to know that you are fine. I thought I couldn't find you at all..."
"Okok... Now tell me why are you searching me? Do you need any help?"
"Actually I want you extract that seed from this spear. I want to gain supernatural power like you as soon as possible. I don't want to waste any more times..." While saying that, he showed the spear before the sunflower.
"This is great. You should know..."
Before her voice could end, suddenly he sensed a high fluctuation across that area, as if something frightened them in an utmost extent. He couldn't understand what could frightened her, but he could understand one thing for sure that, his mental connection with fairy Lin got disconnected. Even, all the plants gradually began to be transparent in front of her eyes, as if all of them started disappearing from that area.
But very soon he realized, not all of them, rather he became teleported from that area without his knowledge, as if all of them rejected him from entering in that area, as within a few seconds, instead of them, he teleported into the outside of that area. Although from that place he still felt the lively aura, but it was faint then.
He couldn't understand why such event occurred. But very soon, he also realized the reason behind it too.
Right at that moment, he felt his pocket on the white robe moved a bit. Before that, he couldn't realize it. He then discovered that Lily woke up from her sleep. He thought possibly she devoured the lively aura from that place and as a result, her sleep broke.
Thinking about that fact, he became extremely calm in shock. He was also faintly scared of Lily for a moment from inside. But then, he smiled.
He slowly began to anticipate the real potential of Lily. He felt proud in his heart, thinking that he was fortunate to have such an extremely powerful ally by his side.
With a prideful smile, he gazed at his pocket. He could think the fact that, the arrival of such powerful existence in that land could about to change the fate of that land...
