Arfion leads the way to a high landmass which dangled from mid air. The emerald like trees had roots so long that it pierced out of the bottom most soil of the land mass. A roaring of a waterbody was heard nearby. Arfion holds my elbow and a small tug as he flutters his wings...we were snaking up higher to the pool where the waterfall from the landmass above this was falling. The deep green pool was clear like crystals. The small nixies gurgled here and there and rejoiced with joy. " Well my friend what brings you here" A male voice from the high rocks startled me. We turned around to find Nalu decending down from the mossy high rock. He gives me a dazzling  white smile . "We are here for some sightseeing...maybe you can introduce Celeste with Nelsie." Arfion gives me a look. Nalu took out a shell whistle and played a note. And stands near the pool. "You might want to stand back Celeste." And I immediately took some steps back. The water in the pool gurgled with bubbles...A long nixie tail splased up taking us by surprise. An elf eared creature with blue hair and a tail made my jaws drop at its marvellous colour and feature. It stares at me as I stare at it. It wiggles up on the moss laden stone in front of me . Its dark blue orbs pierced mine. It raised its slender arms and touched my locket. A surge of wet coldness went up in my spine. It looks down on my chest and my skin darkned in a blue pattern of dots and lines. I look towards Ardion bewildered...looking for answers...but he looked as puzzled as me...and my last resort was Nalu...who was equally surprised. The nixie quickly pranved off its position and draped around Nalu's neck."Nelsie I hope you know what you are doing." It squeaks at him..maybe in a language in which only Nalu can make out the meaning. "Looks like history is repeating itself again."
When he was about to tell me....a gasping castle messenger came rushing towards us...." The northern borders are being attacked by the Rot crawlers...king wants you to help king Dorius ...he requested help...the  new apprentice should be take...kings specific orders."  Nalu and Arfion... Looked towards each other ..."Nalu go gather the Sojun sqad...I will bring Celeste and make her ready...."  with a quick nod Nalu and Nelsie sprinted away. "They were not supposed to enter the northern borders so easily....." then his face went pale."Arfion what is going on?" I asked him and he looked at me with wide eyes...."The portals has been unlocked!"...he shouts....." come quickly......this can either be good or bad."

The whole of the peacefulness was hindered by chaos and clattering of spears. My mind was numb as ever and it was sprouting with so many questions that it felt dizzy. Hpw can things change so suddenly. Arfion and I landed in front of the king...worry waved through his face as his skin on his face creased with folds and wrinkles. "The portals are unlocked!" Arfion shouts excitedly...The king's shocked expression shpwd that this was not a good news. "How did this happen!!!"....he paced around the hall...Nalu was ready...his emerald armour and green eyes sparkled alike. "Nelsie gave Celeste the power to control the water element...the legend say When ether and aqau bonds the gates shall fall open.
And that is what happened here my king" The king gave me a sorry look when he saw how confused I looked. He looks back on the ground qith his brows creased "The quest shall begin Arfion...its time.." he looks up at us...he hilds high his slumping sceptre and looks towards me with a stern gaze."Prepare her...train her ... The war is about to come." I gasped at his remark of war..." Yes your magesty...we are ready..." Arfion qas not happy with what he was saying but hisgrip on my elbow tightened.

The war blow horns blowed with a low groan. The Sijun squad was in sequnce....Arfion and Nalu were ready than ever and I trembled like a timid kitten...doubts clouded my head. Arfion shakes me by the shoulders." Stay close and concentrate...you are more piwerful than you know...just dont restrict it...let it flow....remember what I taught you...and apply it....I have faith in you...just focus...this is not so easy but you can do it.. Stay close to me...." Nalu gives me an enthusiastic nod...indicating that he also feels the same.

A thin crystal suit covered my torso and hands...my hair streaked purple...a bow appeared in my hands out of nowhere...and this creeped me out....I give a slight tug on the bow string and a faint luminous arrow appeared...I pulled it harder and the arrow was glowing ..fully crystalline...Now there was no turning back....
