Legend of the Immortal

Decision

After Belle's second collapse, she had an expression of uncomfortableness on her face.

Tessia and Rica watched over her, countless sleepless nights.

Then, suddenly, in the middle of the night, tears started streaking down her face.

Both of them reacted, running towards Belle.

However, the moment they got into a meter of her, a barrier materialised and their hands which made contact were in searing pain.

This was a safety mechanism Belle's body had unconsciously activated, using all Belle's power to encase her in a cocoon of invisible crystals.

An isolation chamber.

The as of now, Belle's body was as weak and if bot, weaker than a mortal, more specifically, her soul and mind.

She was in a fragile state with the barrier being the last line of defence.

Rica and Tessia could only watch as Belle laid there, unmoving, tears flowing.

------

It was midnight.

Another day had passed.

Belle was still unconscious.

The fairies' town was quiet, everyone was asleep.

The sound of insects chirping in the dead silent night was the sound heard.

Then, at this moment, Belle's body had started to mysteriously float upwards.

Rica who had collapsed earlier in the morning after a week of not sleeping was rudely awakened by Tessia.

"Tessia...wha-" Rica was interrupted.

Tessia pointed towards Belle.

Rica glanced and asked,"What's...happening to Belle?..."

"I don't know either...let's hope whatever it is, that it won't make master's situation worse."

"Nn."

Then, the barrier materialised.

It shone a bright, sky blue colour.

Rica both and Tessia had noticed, the barrier was getting smaller.

More likely, Belle was gathering her power once again.

Then, Belle's hair turned a light golden colour.

Gold, at the time of Belle's torture, represented freedom and might.

While white was the mark of a demon.

And people who had golden-brown hair were considered miracles as curses usually ended with people dying or suffering their entire lives, especially demon-related curses.

Golden hair signified one had enough strength and willpower to break free from even the chains of curses.

However, strangely enough, Belle didn't change back into a man.

This was due to the curse unravelling together with another curse Belle had voluntarily put on herself, the transformation curse.
