Legend of the Immortal

The Second of Duo Seven

Belle walked up to the three in the midst of their chatting.

"Little girl, where did you get that necklace?" Belle question.

Gracie jumped back, caught by surprise letting out a small scream.

"Don't make me repeat myself again." Belle said in a dull tone.

"Teacher, you're scaring her!"

"Hush."

Rica went to the trembling Gracie's side and patted her back, comforting her.

It was obvious at a single glance this girl was beyond shy.

"Little girl. Answer me. Where. Did. You. Get. That. Amulet. This is a very serious matter. You must answer." Belle replied, a hint of threat within her tone.

"I-I got it from mamma. This is the only thing from mamma I have left so please don't take it from me!" Gracie shouted in a trembly voice.

"Your mother? No tail but legs...By any chance, are you a Valencia?" Belle asked.

Gracie's eyes were filled with confusion and curiosity.

"Yes...miss..." Gracie answered with apprehension.

Belle was visibly shocked, freezing momentarily before regaining her wit.

"Your full name?"

"Gracie Valencia miss..."

Excitedly, Belle ran up to Gracie before putting her hands on Gracie's shoulders.

"Girl, you're completely serious?" Belle asked once again, unable to believe the words.

"I am speaking only the truth."

"[Gold Bloodstone]. [Hydra Illuminate]" Belle chanted.

On her hand was a small blue sapphire appeared on her hand, as if instilled into the skin.

Then, the amulet started to glow a dark blue, making strange whirring noises.

"W-what's going on?" Gracie asked, scared out of her wits.

Something this weird had never occured before.

"[Seal]." Belle chanted.

The orb on her hand disappeared and the amulet stopped glowing.

The three who were confused stared at Belle for answers.

Smiling widely, Belle stared at Gracie.

"I shall explain myself. Are you all familiar with the folklore surrounding the throning of Poseidon?"

Gracie nodded, along with the other two.

She had been told stories of the bravery of Poseidon the sea god by her mother.

Adventurous, brave, powerful, regal.

These words were commonly associated with the Sea God Poseidon.

"Good. As you know, Poseidon had saved the Oceanic Reefs realm from certain doom and was crowned king as a tribute from the people, right?"
