Chapter 59 - 59: A sign...! (1/2)

It was already late at night in this beautiful Oasis Palace of Middle Realm. The white and gold palace stands among the luscious green palms and various cacti.

Oasis Palace is the paradise in the middle of the desert.

The Divine Witch Circe has just finished her duties and returning to her quarters. It's been a long, busy day in the Middle Realm as the threat brooding in Celesea widens.

A gush of wind suddenly passed her by and broke the stillness of the night. This has startled her as she quickly casts a protective barrier.

How can there be wind in this confined halls?

She summonsed her wand and shifted to a fighting stance. She narrowed her eyes at the floating intruder.

There is a magic wind sphere in front of the beautiful white witch. It doesn't make any movements as it remains afloat.

It is shimmering in somewhat marbled lime color. It doesn't really show any sign of hostility.

”Greetings Divine Witch, sorry to have startled you. It wasn't my intention to intrude. Forgive me for dropping in unannounced...” the ball finally spoke.

”You...!” the Divine Witch Circe exclaimed upon hearing the familiar voice.

The sphere let out a soft chuckle upon hearing her surprise. She experienced considerable difficulties breaking into the palace and deserves a commendation for her tireless effort.

”How did you manage to get in, you...?” she irritatedly asked the ball of the sphere.

The Divine Witch didn't bother hiding her irritation on her unexpected visitation. She could have alerted the guards and caused a commotion for nothing.

”Have you forgotten who I am? This is what I do. I drop by unannounced to pass a message.” she chuckles playfully.

The Divine Witch Circe heaves a heavy sigh as she recalls this person. It's been a while since her last visit, and she never fails to requests something absurd.

”Follow me to my quarters then. I expect this is important.” the Divine Witch said as she walks ahead of the floating ball.

The wind sphere quickly follows as she playfully complies to her command. She plans to make it short and simple since her presence is also required somewhere else.

Meanwhile, it was around midnight when Eu woke up. She found herself by a frozen lake in the middle of the forest.

Lumina is resting beside her, extending one of her wings to protect her from their cold surroundings. She can't believe she has undergone a second awakening so soon.

She expects this to happen later when things have settled down. Her transition can only mean the enemy is also beginning to be a more significant threat.

She massages her head as she recalls the earlier night's visions. She still hasn't fully awakened, but it will suffice for the impending calamity.

”Young Mistress, are you alright? Are you feeling better now?” Lumina asked with concern.

”Yes, thank you for caring for me…” she responded.

She stands up to dust off the dirt from her clothes. She snapped her fingers and tidied her self as looks up into starry, night sky.

She heaves a heavy sigh as she foresees an imminent tragedy ahead. She didn't expect it to happen so soon.

She looks at Lumina and about to say something, but then she interrupted her. She doesn't need to say it and give her the command because she already accomplished the task.

Eu smiles as she nods approvingly. She mounted the beasts and decided to accomplish something different instead. Time indeed is of the essence.

Meanwhile, the Divine Lord Foeni suddenly awakened and had the urge to follow Eu back to Limes Temple. He summoned his aides and discuss his immediate plans to leave the premises.

This gravely alarmed them. Without the Divine Lord, everything will be halted once again. They don't know how to proceed without him, after all.

They are feeling distraught, but the Divine Lord is also determined. He is convinced they should start to act independently of him.

”I trust your better judgment. I am giving you authority and don't abuse it.” the Divine Lord Foeni said and continues, ”If there is anything else, contact Lord Azure.”

”Yes, Divine Lord...” the leader of the aides reluctantly accepted the command.

Meanwhile, in the Hidden City of Anatolia, the Grand Elder felt an unusual presence— a presence he has never sensed for a long time. He walked out of his limestone residence as he looks up in the shrouded sky.

He waves his hand and clears what obscures his vision. It took a while for the stars and moon to show themselves from the sea of clouds.

For a brief moment, a mysterious star shines brightly and cruising in the sky. It has a seven-colored tail following it.

'A sign...!' the Grand Elder thought.

His face has an evident surprise expression as he witnesses the scene. This scene can only be interpreted as a good omen.

When the stars reappear, they started to continue moving out of their course. Still, the conflict will undoubtedly arise. It is inevitable.

It is different from their previous prophecy. In fact, everything has started to change drastically.

Someone is definitely setting the events in this course.
