Chapter 36 - 36: Separations and Reunions (1/2)

Days continue to pass by, and the events remain everyone's concern. His forbidding aura emits much older impression. He must be someone from a much earlier era than any of them.

Even the Guardians decided to recall the events two hundred years ago. They might not be the target of this person, but he associated himself with them.

Why is he targeting the Oracle Clan?

He was indeed a powerful person to deceive everyone with his pretenses. Was it possible two people are involved or more?

They still can't figure who the person that pretended to be their ally is. He was there the whole time fighting alongside them.

They truly wanted to believe in him, and everything they've experienced was real. The Four Holy Guardians are disheartened by the revelations and the sudden turn of events.

Meanwhile, Little Eu frequently visits the Divine Lord Foeni in Astral Space. It's a forgotten spell that no one in Astra has ever practiced in a long time.

”Little Eu, since when did you know how to use this spell?” the Divine Lord asked quizzically to the young girl.

”I am very talented. I learned it from someone.” Little Eu responded brazenly.

She doesn't want to disclose the truth as she responded jestingly. Though, she did recently learn the spell to prevent them from worrying and enable them to interact.

He decided not to pry as he shrugged the thought. He agrees that she is exceptionally gifted, and reviving forgotten arts seems an easy task for her.

”It seems my duties will hold me back, and I can't come to visit. I am sorry, Little Eu...” the Divine Lord said apologetically and changed the subject.

Little Eu smiles as she nods her head. She understood their situation. That man's presence has pushed everyone into a corner.

They really can't neglect the impending threat, and they started reaching out to other Realms, inquiring about their situations. It can't be an isolated case or a coincidence his men attacked the Middle Realm.

In the middle of their conversation, her voice became inaudible. He knits his brows as he tries to figure out what she just said.

”I have to go. I'll revisit you soon…” she said, breaking his contemplations.

He wanted to inquire about what she just said, but she is already gone.

He opens his ocean blue eyes as he awakens from his seat. He started suddenly drifting into these so-called dreams.

He stares at the pure white ceiling as he recalls the incident. He sometimes wonders if the events were just a mere product of his imagination.

'What is she trying to say?'

Meanwhile, the Divine Witch Circe sends Gwyddien back to Mystic Spirit and promises her support. Gwyddien can't hide his surprise on his Mistress's decision.

Of all the capable and more experienced witches in the Realm, she chose this young apprentice of hers. Gwyddien was thrilled that he would be reunited with his Mystic friends.

”Mistress, thank you!” Gwyddien said, teary-eyed and all, upon receiving his assignment.

The Divine Witch smiles while others heave a sigh of relief. They never wanted to be assigned to such a dreaded place.

Still, they stare at him with a strange, questioningly gazes. Why is he enthusiastic about taking on the task?

In the end, they shrugged and started to find him very strange. No sane person wants to be assigned in Mystic Spirit in the first place.

Gwyddien ignored everyone and left the Middle Realm as soon as he could. They wouldn't understand him anyway.

Several weeks after, Freya and Gaust have completely recuperated from their magic depletion. Their reinstatement is official, and they are obliged returning to their designated positions.

The Holy Guardian Lords are responsible for the witch, Gwyddien, while he is in Mystic Spirit. They are currently staying in Arcane Palace while they continue to discuss the situation with their superior.

During their free time, while staying in their quarters, they started to discuss the events that took place weeks ago. Now that Turtle and Vermilion recovered, they can talk about what truly transpired that fateful day.

”Little Freya, can you explain to us what happened that day? That spell...” Tiger carefully asked.

Freya sighs as she cannot completely understand what happened that day. She knows a much more powerful caster hijacked her spell.

”Someone else is in control of your magic. Do you have any idea who?” Azure asked her discreetly.

They don't want anyone else discovering that small detail about someone else involvement. Freya is also adamant, not to mention Little Eu's connection with them.

”I have my suspicion. I am gifted, but that is obviously not my spell… It's just that, I don't have proof…” she admits.

Azure nods his head in agreement but refrains himself from commenting about the issue. He started contemplating how can Little Eu possibly conceal herself from them. None of them felt her presence that day.

Gaust decided to cast a barrier around them as they continue to delve into the matter. Lord Turtle is not yet acquainted with Little Eu, but he is finding her quite interesting an interesting character.

In the middle of their conversation, they appeared in this unfamiliar space. It happened so suddenly, and they all failed to react. They all thought that they were caught into a trap.

”Is this a dream. Why are you in my dream?” Rean strongly reacted as he saw Jin and Gaust.

”I'd rather see someone else too. Seriously...” Jin rolled his eyes as he replied coldly.

Gaust sighs as he carefully examines the place. It is an obsolete spell, and no one uses it anymore.

Who would have the audacity to trap them into a spell? Then again, who summons them to that place?

”This is not a dream. It is an Astral Space. Someone has summoned us…” Gaust commented as he sighs.

”Eu?” Freya called.

”Sorry if I startled you. I can't think of any way to contact you...” Eu said as she appeared.
