The Princess And The Lord

Of all the things that were possessed by the trinity fragment whether it was human or simply an object, only Ming Yue Yin got the trinity fragment favor. Therefore, when Ming Yue Yin fled from reality to dreamland, the trinity fragment protected her soul and shared memories of the past owner with Ming Yue Yin.

In the end, after considering the fate that involved Ming Yue Yin's family with the trinity fragments for generations Lory leaves a little power of the trinity fragments as a "Gift" as a gratitude for all Ming Yue Yin's ancestor has done for the fragments that reside inside the white tree.

As a result, Ming Yue Yin's body, which should have been wrecked by years of consuming too many pills and elixirs since childhood, remained healthy and even allowed her body to absorb more Qi which caused her to quickly increase her cultivation.

Lory's 'Gift' not only altered her fate but also spare some connection with Lory's power because of that Ming Yue Yin was scared that what she saw was not just a dream but an omen.

'In order to preserve life in the universe, the Gods finally made a cohesive agreement between them that all celestial beings cannot get involved with a world they are not from, and to maintain the balance one human will be appointed to maintain that world and they are called the 'First King' only in their hands the balance of their world can be maintained and when their 'first king' falls the world will fall with him'

'But they are gods, who can't stop them if they want to mess up the other world, will they stick to their promised?'

'Well, there's a secret that no one knows not even your father knows...'

'What is it, mother?'

'Fufufu… let me tell you, Lory, every world has a door, once it was close not even god could enter and all those doors are guarded by one most powerful entity decided by all the Gods in the universe, and they all come together for just for this one single, yet crucial moment'

'Decide? how?'

'It's actually quite sad'

'Why is it sad, mother?'

Because when you think about it, it's not fair, it's actually really cruel....'

'...'

'All the Gods in the universe will gather once again to choose a special soul, the most powerful and purest soul to live in darkness to guard all those doors forever and alone...they call him the child of darkness

'A child, mother?'

'Yes...what a pitiful child, therefore if you meet him someday I hope you can help him...'

'I will help him!'

'I know you will, but before that, you have to get up or you'll be late~'

'So wake up now my dear~'

'Wake up~'

<strong>"LORY, WAKE UP!"</strong>

Lory gasped as she took a sharp breath with her eyes suddenly open widely.

Meanwhile, Girsha kept hitting her face with her wings and pecking at her face frantically, [Wake up, Girl!]

[I'm up - I'm up - I'm up...] Lory groaned hoarsely.

Girsha finally stopped then his head immediately turning to look at her [You're awake!] Girsha's green eyes widened in shock and relief but the bird didn't stop [Hurry up, girl or you'll bleed to death!! there was panic in Girsha's voice.

"Hah?" Lory was confused and then suddenly a sharp pain woke her from her daze soon after Lory look down and see a long sharp shard pierced her stomach neatly and she was lying in her own pool of blood.

[Oh, this isn't good] Lory grimaced and beads of sweat rolled down from her temple [Oh my God this hurts...] Lory's face contorted in pain, and every time she moved she felt more blood coming out but if she didn't do anything she obviously going to die from blood lose just like girsha's said.

seeing Lory in pain Girsha's eyes filled with guilt [I'm sorry girl, it's all my fault I was careless and you got hurt]

Girsha didn't know what happened, at first he managed to protect Lory perfectly from the debris that rained down on her and also from the impact of the falling but when he thought everything was safe and he lose his guard down all of a sudden long pointy shard came out of nowhere and stabbed Lory on her stomach, Girsha thought they were attacked but he didn't feel anyone presence.

[I'm okay old birdie, it's just.... a scratch] Lory forced a smile to reassure the worrywart bird unfortunately her pale face betrayed her efforts.

[Stop smiling Lory, you look ugly!] Girsha doesn't appreciate her effort.

Unable to coax the old bird Lory helplessly sighed [Yeah...oh well, help me pull this out!] Lory took a few deep breaths before slowly pulling the rock out of her body.

[Okay, easy...easy] Girsha grabbed the tip of the rock and carefully pulled it along with her.

Blood gushed from her wounds and Lory let out a long painful scream not long after the long pointy shards managed to pull out from her stomach.

Girsha threw the shards harshly to the side then Lory took another deep breath to maintain her consciousness then began to heal herself a few seconds later the wound in her stomach gradually closed up and the pain she felt dissipated only then Girsha and Lory could breathe in relief.

[How are you feeling girl?] girsha didn't doubt Lory's strength but still, she couldn't stop worrying.

Lory lay down while rubbing the nonexistent wound on his stomach then took a deep breath [Live..]

Girsha saw the color on Lory's face gradually change for the better she finally calmed down then landed on Lory's chest while muttering [Life is good...]

Every time this happened, Girsha felt like his age was reduced by a hundred years.

Lory raise her back from the ground she realizes she was shrouded with darkness, Lory then waved her hand, and thousands of light scatter around her like fireflies soon everything around her was illuminated with soft purple light, Lory then scrutinizes the area around her later on forehead creased from not seeing his friends around.

[Where are Xi Ying and Yue Yin?!] Lory was engrossed with worry searching for her friend's figures.

[I don't know, looks like we got separated from the fall] Girsha said.

[I hope they are fine...] Lory's brows furrowed in deep concern and she felt even more worried for Yang Xi Ying who was pregnant.

[They'll be fine with Lucient's shield protecting them] Girsha gives a disapproving look but doesn't comment any further knowing this is part of her character.

A character that made her admired and loved by many people but at the same time brought a lot of pain and tragedy to her life.

[I hope so...] Lory ignores Girsha's discontent and slowly gets up then gets up his clothes are now a little tattered lory feels a little annoyed [look, my clothes had broken] he complains.

[Better than your body, right] Girsha snorted sarcastically.

Lory smacked her lips in resignation then summoned a water skin from her ring to quench her thirst.

Lory then wiped her lips with her sleeve then put her water skin back into her ring then looked around her with her arms on her hips [Are we lost again?] Lory scratched her head looking annoyed but not worried.

[I guessed we are...] Girsha also seemed used to it.

Once again lory sigh

Once again Lory sighed in frustration but anger wouldn't solve the problem. [We have to find a way out of here.

[oh yeah, have you heard of the Child of darkness?] Lory suddenly asked.

Girsha frowned [No, what is it?]

[Let's go over here!] Lory guessed randomly, she then walked aimlessly while looking around warily before she continue [it was something mother taught us when we were a child]

[Lorenna? Do you still remember? You were very young then] Girsha knows most humans don't remember what happened under the age of five and Lory was around that age when Lorenna started teaching her and Lucas.

[Yes, indeed many things have been forgotten but some things are still remembered]

[Then why did you suddenly mention the child of darkness?] Girsha gave a questioning look.

[Because I already guessed the identity of the boy I met in my dream] said Lory as she walked down a wide area that was only lit by the scattering of light that she made.

[Are you sure?] Girsha ask.

[Uhm...not really] Lory's steps suddenly stopped and the hair on the nape of his neck rose and she whispered, [Do you feel it?]
