7 Dream 6: Portrai (2/2)
She handed the portrait to him.
Genrou recieved it and started to lay his eyes on the portrait. He began to inspect the image. As he stares at it, he cannot believe what he saw. ”It's true.” He pondered.
”What Blaze said was true. She is indeed beautiful, really beautiful. I did not expect this beauty at all.” Genrou who is flabbergasted said.
The king and queen smiled.
”Did it meet your expectations? Did the portrait satisfy you?” The king playfully asked.
”She-she exceeds my expectations your highness. She is more than what I have imagined based on the description of Blaze.”
The queen gladly said, ”I'm thankful that you're satisfied with it. Even we were amazed that we have a daughter as beautiful as she.”
Genrou couldn't take his eyes off the portrait. He tilted his head while he stares at it carefully, ”She...looks somewhat familiar.” He wondered and added ”Where did I see this face before?”

On the Prophet Eigel's abode (South East part of Celestial realm)
A white haired elegant guy was sitting alone on the corner beside the window. Looking at the sky, he closes his eyes as he takes a deep breath. He was feeling the atmosphere around the Celestial Realm. While his eyes are close, he hears the sound of the wind, he hears even the stomps of horses from afar, birds chirping from trees and people's voices were ringing in his ears. The sound is very clear. It's as if he is in that certain situation.
Then suddenly... he opened up his eyes. He paused and said ”I can feel it. This familiar aura.... She's already here.” He smiled at the sky and added, ”The revelation has now come to reality.”
”But wait, what is this that I feel? The power is sealed yet, but I can feel that it already wants to break free. It's too early. What happened?” He wondered while his hands were place on his chest.

At the Dragon Clans Palace…
Fai and Adara are having a tea in the garden.
Fai suddenly grabs her chest while frowning in pain, ”Urgh!It hurts.”
While sipping her tea, Adara noticed that Fai is in pain. She put down her cup immediately and asks in worriedness.
”Fai, is everything alright? Are you in pain?”
”Just a while ago, I felt my heart strongly throb. It feels prickly” she replied.
”Oh no! Did the air around here begin affecting you? Do you have any difficulty in breathing? Huh?” Adara anxiously asked as she went over to Fai patting her back.
”No, it's just in a brief moment. I'm fine now” *Place her hand on her chest.*
”Are you sure?”
Fai took a deep breath while feeling her chest, then she ascertains ”See, I'm really well. I wouldn't be having a tea here with you if I haven't even lasted a minute in here. So I'm fine.”
”Ok, but tell me when you feel something like that again. We will have the palace physician to check up on you.” Adara reminded.
Fai agreed.
While they continue to have a tea together, the head chambermaid together with the three maidservants holding a silk each went near them.
”Your highness, these are the silks that you have told us to prepare. It varies in 3 different colors, namely, red, yellow and orange. What would you like to choose among these 3 silks?” The Head Chambermaid asks.
Adara stood up and looked at the silks thoroughly.
”Hmm…the silks' quality is very good.”
She glances at Fai and inquired, ”Fai, what color would you prefer?”
”Pardon? *points at herself*
Me? (Oh my gosh, a princess is asking me about my preference.)
”Yes, who else would I ask this for? I'm asking you because I don't know what color you like. It would be easy to make your dress base on your preference.”
”D-d-dress your highness? I mean Miss Adara, are you preparing a dress for me for the banquet? *sparkling eyes*
”Of course, we wouldn't let our precious mortal guest be the center of humiliation you know. That is why, we have prepared these for you. Choose freely.”
”Really!? Really!? I can't believe it! It's my first time having someone make a dress for me!” Fai exclaimed as she excitedly pick the silks.
”Hmm...Should I pick this? or this? or this? No, I should just pick this.” Then after she decided, she showed it to Adara.
”Ta-da! I choose this!”
Adara crossed her arms over her chest and stated her opinion while nodding
”Hmm…you chose the red one huh? ...Nice, good choice you have there. It fits your pale-red colored hair.”
”Really? I knew it! I really have a sense of Fashion hahaha!” Fai proudly said.
Then the maidservants started whispering at each other.
”Hmp...Mortal, what a self-righteous she is!” Ema (maid 1) said.
”Yeah, she just chose between the three silks, what's there to be proud of?” Oliv (maid 2) concurred.
”Hey, she's just a mortal, let her be.” Sofi (maid 3) contended.
The Head Chambermaid heard what they are gossiping about. She glared and signaled them to keep quiet.
