11 Dream 10: Banquet Dance (2/2)

”The Hall of Fate in the south part of the palace. Just take her there.”

”What? Hall of fate? I thought she's just a worker here, but why do you give her such a special place?” As baffled as he is, Archer asked with such confusion on his face.

”It's my mom's order. Just let it be.”

”I don't think she's just a normal worker. There is more something to it than there is am I right?” Archer queried.

Genrou smirked and put his left hand on Archer's shoulder as he asserted, ”Just take her to her room. You know I hate explaining. Asked my sister if you want to know more about this lady.”

”Got it.” Archer replied as he stood up and carried Fai in a princess's posture. He then walked away while carrying the sleeping lady.

Genrou just watched Archer walk away carrying Fai. ”No, it's impossible. Pfft, there's no chance that a mortal would be my Fai. Besides, if she really is the 'Fai', the Phoenix king and queen would definitely notice it, seeing that it's their flesh and blood and that they are even in the same area now. That's why, it's not her.” He finally manage convinced himself after having many confusing thoughts running in his mind in a short period of time.

Meanwhile, in Eigel's spot where he is at the banquet hall's terrace looking the glimmering stars.

”I sensed it. She was here. But...why do I suddenly feel like she have vanished again? What's happening?I need to inquire to Kaine.”

He then whistled in attempt to call a bird.

*Fwee-weet*

After a few minutes, there came a flying male scarlet macaw towards Eigel's direction. He landed on Eigel's shoulder.

”Kaine, I'm glad you came.” In a relief voice, Eigel stated his gratefulness.

The bird talked and replied. ”Hmp! I was hoping that you would call beforehand but you left me with disappointment Eigel.”

While gently stroking the Kaine's head, he smiled. ”Now, now. Please don't get mad. I just bought some time. So how's everything going?”

”You already know the situation aren't you? Something went wrong.” Kaine professed as he flies towards the terrace's silver railing and landed there.

Surprised, Eigel immediately responded. ”WHAT!?How could such an error happen? What's the problem?”

”So you didn't know the full situation?”

”I'm just a diviner who predicts, I'm not a deity, therefore I don't know everything.”

”Well, you see. My child has finally returned here right?” Kaine said.

”Yes, so what's the problem?”

”But...she hasn't fully awakened yet. I noticed a while ago that as she sleeps, she glows. So I presumed that the realm is already calling out to her and that she could come here only through her dreams.”

”But isn't it just the right time that she returned? Her predicted time is already approaching and she already came here. But why do I feel like she have vanished again?” Eigel explained while worriedness is evident in his eyes.

”That's our problem. That's the error. She has not fully awakened yet but she can already come here. The fact that she came here week earlier than the predicted time is a good sign but...her powers are sealed aren't they? Because the power inside her body already wants to break free, the effect was quite abnormal for her. You have predicted that she will return on her eighteenth birthday right?And by that time, her powers will fully be awakened. But such thing happened concerning her powers. It could not contain her mortal body anymore, it's too strong. Which is why.....she cannot fully regain her memories yet and her immortal body will be restored longer that we have expected.” Kaine explained.

Eigel became stiff upon hearing what went wrong and his hands keep trembling while his eyes widened out of shockness.

”W-what happened? why did it turn out like this?”

”That's also the answer that I want to know. I just need some time to investigate things.”Kaine asserted.

”Where is she? Can you tell me where she is? I need to go to her and see her condition.” Eigel implored while eagerness is clearly seen in his eyes.

”I'm telling you, her body didn't leave this place yet. She did not completely vanished. From what I observed, you can't feel her presence because her spirit left her body.” Kaine unexpectedly said.

His eyes widened in shockness for he did not expect that statement at all.”What!? Her spirit? Is she already dead?”
