79 Chapter 77: The Golden Apple (1/2)
.....
”New magic...” Luther lightly smirked
Ivery turned back around to face the fairies that still held excitement in their eyes.
”Is there something you're supposed to give me? Or is there somewhere you're supposed to take me?” Ivery asked
”Yes!” One of the fairies nodded
”Which one?” Ivery asked
”Both.” The fairy said
”Both?” Ivery wondered what and where it was
”Follow us!” The fairies started to fly into the golden forest
Ivery followed their fairy dust trails they left behind in the air. Luther, Yannel and Danya carefully followed behind her.
”What if this is a trap? Like that town of dead people...” Yannel expressed his worries to Luther
”It's not.” Luther said
”How do you know?” Yannel asked
”I just do.” Luther sighed
”....” Yannel didn't question Luther any further
....
The fairies stopped in front of a small cottage house, and the roof was covered in golden green vines.
”Go in there.” The fairies pointed to the cottage
”Okay..” Ivery nodded and walked up to the cottage
She reached for the door and suddenly the door swung open. Ivery quickly backed up before the door hit her.
”Oh sorry, I'm just so happy that you're finally here!”
”W..Who are you?” Ivery asked the beautiful woman that stood in front of her
The woman had long curly red hair that reached her thighs, her emerald green eyes looked at Ivery with the same excitement the fairies had. She wore a simple yet beautiful long golden-green dress. Ivery had also noticed that she too had four sparkling translucent wings on her back...just like the fairies did.
”I'm the fairy queen, Titania.” She said with a smile
”Fairy queen..” Ivery never thought fairies actually existed, she always believed their existence was only something made up from fairytales....but nothing surprised her anymore ever since she came to this world where gods, magic, dragons, and monsters physically exist
”It's an honor to meet one of the chosen ones.” Titania gently took Ivery's hand
”It's my honor to meet you as well..” Ivery smiled
”Come in, please, I have something for you.” Titania led Ivery into the cottage
Luther walked up to the cottage and headed inside as well, he didn't want to be far away from Ivery in an unknown place like this, even if it didn't give off any dangerous aura...he wanted and needed to be close to her.
Yannel and Danya slowly followed right behind Luther.
...
”Sit here while I get it.” Titania pulled a chair for Ivery
Ivery sat down on the chair and patiently waited.
”Are you sure about this place?” Yannel asked Ivery
”I am.” Ivery nodded
”She's definitely a powerful fairy.” Luther said
”Her magic prowess is fitting for a ruler.” Luther could sense the power emitting from the fairy queen and it was definitely vast
”So all of this is legitimate..?” Yannel asked
”Yes.” Ivery and Luther said
After several minutes went by, Titania came back with something shocking. She sat it on the table in front of Ivery.
”What is this...?” Ivery looked at the strange pumpkin sized golden apple on the table
”The golden apple.” Titania said
”Golden apple? When did apple's grow this big?” Ivery asked
”It was a seed given to us by one of the two great gods of your world to grow here, this land was made by the gods as a magic source for the worlds below, it's a place that many mortals seek since just being here can strengthen one's prowess core immensely, but it's impossible to get here for mortals if we fairies don't open a portal to bring the mortals ourselves.” Titania answered Ivery
”But by planting the golden apple's seed here, this seed was able to grow into a fruit filled with the magic of this land.” Titania told them
”Wait, did you just say worlds below..?” Ivery asked
”Yes, this is the realm of fairies, we opened a portal to your earthly realm to bring you here.” Titania said
”Realm of fairies?” Yannel couldn't believe his ears
”Our realm is one of the lowest magic realms, we are below the seven heavens, five mystical wildernesses, but we reside above the mortal realms and the three enchanted seas.” Titania explained
”I see..” Ivery understood now, it felt strange that they were no longer on the earth
”It was indeed hard to find you, but we managed to find you in time, we were instructed to seek you when the apple was done growing.” Titania said with a smile
”How was it hard to find her when there's only one world?” Yannel asked
”One world? You think that your world is the only world in the whole universe that mortals live in?” Titania laughed
”Child, there are 55,260 mortal worlds in the 50 mortal realms that you mortals and other creatures inhabit, those worlds were all made, controlled and maintained by at least two gods and one satan.” Titania told Yannel
”No way...” Yannel was both amazed and shocked
”Interesting.” Luther knew there were other worlds, but he never knew there were that many and several different mortal realms
”Now back to the main task.” Titania looked back at Ivery
”You must eat this.” Titania pointed at the apple
”Eat it? Okay..” Ivery nodded
”You mustn't leave one bite of it left, although it's core isn't able to be eaten, so don't try.” Titania smiled
”Wait, wait, wait....you mean I have to finish this whole thing?!” Ivery looked at the pumpkin sized golden apple in horror
”Yes, it must be fully consumed in an hour, since it's power will start to flow back into this land if it isn't eaten in an hour after it's picked from the great golden tree.” Titania nodded
”T-That's impossible.” Ivery felt sick just thinking about it
”Regardless, you must eat it if you want its power as your own.” Titania said
Ivery sighed.
”Alright...” Ivery frowned
”You can do it.” Luther walked behind the chair Ivery sat on and leaned down to kiss her head
Ivery smiled after receiving encouragement from Luther and she then leaned forward to take a bite from the golden apple. Suddenly and instantly Ivery's prowess core in the center of her chest began to glow with a golden light.
Luther, Yannel, and Danya looked at Ivery with shock in their eyes, one's prowess core wasn't supposed to be seen...such a thing could only be seen by someone with immense magical prowess but that was only if they used prowess sight spell...
But Ivery's prowess core revealed itself to all of them, and its light was blinding.
”It's no wonder she's the chosen one...” Titania was unphased by the blinding light and looked at the intense energy Ivery's prowess core emitted with astonishment
”What's happening?” Ivery asked, noticing the bright golden light shining in her chest
