The Princess And The Lord

"LI XIN, LI XIN where are you?" Lory was lost in darkness. She's been walking aimlessly for an hour or at least that what she thought. The longer she stays in darkness the anxious she becomes.

[Girsha are you there?] 

[I'm here girl] 

[Thank God, I thought I lost you too] Lory sigh in relief.

[I'm here, don't worry…] he comforts her.

[We need to find Li Xin, I could feel he is here but….it's like I'm blocked by something] Lory try to concentrate to find Zhao Li Xin location, but she got nothing. 

Lory shakes her head [Something is wrong…]

[Let's get going, it's no use stay in one place] Girsha said.

[Hum…]

 Meanwhile, Zhao Li Xin still engulfs with bright light, but gradually the light becomes dimmer. He slowly opens his eyes and lowers down his hands.

"You finally here…"

Zhao Li Xin takes a step backward as he make a fighting stance by instinct.

"Hehehe calm down, you one rowdy boy aren't you…~"

Zhao Li Xin startled when he saw what right in front of him. It's a giant tiger with silver fur and electric blue strip with horn right in the middle of its forehead. The beast dark blue eyes gleamed as it stares at Zhao Li Xin.

He didn't feel malice from the Beast so Zhao Li Xin relax a little bit, but he doesn't let his guard down. The beast lay on the ground gracefully, he exudes grandeur, unlike any beast he had seen before.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Zhao Li Xin narrows his gaze his dark eyes fill with suspicion.

The Beast, not the least offended for he was expected this "My name is Huwang Shen Zi, and what I want….I want to meet you" his voice is calm and steady is hard for Zhao Li Xin to read the beast intention.

Zhao Li Xin's eyebrows gradually furrow "You know me?" 

"I know you predecessor…" he answers nonchalantly almost like his joking. 

"My predecessor? Even I don't know who are my parents are…" he rather skeptical with the Beast answer, until now he still unable to reveal his origin, maybe because he does not care so he doesn't look to deep into it.

Huwang Shen Zi stifles "Your parent is not important, what important is the blood that runs in your veins" he stares at Zhao Li Xin deeply "The line of your predecessor is little and thin and many of the blood that runs to their veins is very weak but you…..Hahaha!" Huwang Shen Zi suddenly becomes excited as he make a deafening sound of laughter.

"I could feel it" Huwang Shen Zi take a long inhaled with his eyes close "It's strong and thick, oh boy how exciting!"

Zhao Li Xin was annoyed by the Beast laughter and it show clearly on his face "Who is my Predecessor?"

"Your predecessor is called Lei Yu, he is the first king of this world" he solemnly said.

Zhao Li Xin was dumbstruck although is not show on his face but his heart beating like a drum because Lory's beautiful face is coming to his mind 'Is it a coincidence?'

"Is not coincidence…" Huwang Shen Zi said quickly as if he read his mind "You and she are descendants of the first King from each other world"

"How do you know Lory, where do you taking here?" Zhao Li Xin's anger rose and the fire twirl around his body.

"Calm down, calm down boy, no one is hurting her…..she is important, as much as you do…" Huwang Shen Zi amused how easy to stir him. He is as hot-tempered as his predecessor.

"She is important for you and also for our world" the best mutters to himself, the Beast notice Zhao Li Xin glare who still not convinced with his words, Huwang Shen Zi sigh "You don't trust me, do you think she sends to this world by accident" he chuckles lightly then he continues "No, this is all premeditated by her the 'Chaos Child' or perhaps it was all faith and we all fall into it"

His words shaken his heart tremendously, he doesn't know much about Lory because Lory once told him she doesn't know much either, even though she knew something is waiting for her bit she could never be sure. Zhao Li Xin extinguish his fire "What do you know about her and me?"

 Huwang Shen Zi gaze deepen "Ahhh….yes, you and her, you right it's all about you and her"

[Girsha I'm tired, I can't see anything, I don't care anymore I will use scatter light spell] Lory squeeze her hands together then she closes her eyes when she opens her eyes she clapped her hand and dozens of blue orbs flew around her like fireflies. Unfortunately even with so much light she still found nothing around her.

[How is your mana?] Girsha said worriedly, he insists Lory not to use her gift because he is afraid she will drain her mana and make her vulnerable.

[I'm still good] Lory said. She looks around her but she is surrounded by empty space she can't even find a wall so she doesn't know how big is this place, Lory perplexed [Where are we?]

'Lory'

Lory startled. Someone is calling her [Do you hear that?] 

[What?] Girsha asks confusedly.

'Lory'

Lory quickly turn around she draws her twin daggers from her sleeve [Someone is calling me]

[But I hear nothing, are you sure?] Girsha's hearing is keener than normal human so is impossible he can't hear what Lory heard.

Lory search left and right for any possible threat and Girsha also become more alert, but they see nothing but emptiness. 

'Lory over here!'

The voice becomes clearer and she flinches because the voice sounds familiar {Girsha please tell me you hear that!]

[No I don't, what did you hear?] Girsha becomes more anxious if he can't hear it so that's mean the voice is coming right through her head.

'Come here Lory, don't be afraid….. I'm here Princess'

Lory breath hitched on her throat, she knew this voice too well, it's the same voice that haunts her dreams, her eyes become hot and wet, her lips begin to tremble as she weakly calls [Father?]
