ARAGU

The First Elemental

Xaeron is now smiling from ear to ear. She looked at the Elemental who's standing in front of them.

Princess Frea walked towards Xaeron and Aera. "Who's that?"
The Princess asked.

Aera shrugged, "I don't have any clue." she answered.

"Why don't you come here and give me a hug. It's been ages since I saw you my friend!" The Elemental said.

"Oh Lexus!" Xaeron ran and literally jumped on him and hugged the life out of him.

"Can't breathe!" Lexus said and Xaeron instantly pulled away.

"Apologies, I just missed you so much!" Xaeron chuckled and Lexus laughed.

"Last time I saw you, you were this ye high." Lexus raised his hand to where his chest was.

"Well, I do grow." They laughed at what Xaeron said.

The Princess and Aera were clueless and they were just looking at the two.

Princess Frea cleared her throat and that's when Xaeron remembered she have a company.

"Oh, right. Lexus this is my apprentice Aera, she's an Air Elemental." Xaeron grabbed Aera and present her to Lexus.

"What about this lovely lady?" Lexus asked and gently held the Princess' hand to shake.

"That's Princess Frea." Xaeron said.

"Princess Frea? Fylux's heiress?" Lexus wondered why Xaeron and the Princess were together.

"The one and only." Xaeron said.

Lexus smiled and the Princess returned a sweetest smile.
"It's nice to meet you Lexus." Princess Frea said.

Lexus withdraw his hand from the Princess' and turned to Xaeron. "I guess we need to talk about a lot of things Xaeron. Follow me." Lexus said and started to walk.

They all follow him. "What about our things?" Princess Frea asked.

"They're already at my place." Lexus said and the Princess didn't say any word.

They walked deeper into the forest and the sunlight seeps through the trees. The Princess and Aera was amazed at how the entrance looked like.

"So we're not going straight to HydroPole?" Aera asked suddenly.

"We will, but for now let's go to my shrine." Lexus answered without looking back.

They stopped into a lake. "Where's your shrine Lexus?" Princess Frea asked.

"Wait and see Your Highness." Lexus chuckled and he started moving his hands to control the water.

The Princess and the young Elemental was amazed when the water was suddenly cut into half. "Follow me." Lexu said and they walked through between the lake.

"I thought HydroPole is located at sea?" Princess Frea asked out loud.

"It is, this is just a decoy for the intruders." Xaeron said. She was the last on the line making sure no one followed.

"Intruders?" Aera was curious now. "Well you see, Lexus is the protector of the sea."

The other two gasped at what they heard. Lexus chuckled, I'll explained it further when we arrived at my shrine."

Minutes passed when they reached the other end of the lake. Lexus slowly put the water back into it's original state. "Stealer, guard the entrance carefully." Lexus said to the face stealer.
