True Nature

The True King 17 (END)

The fight went on until Shuo Gang defeated Phoenix, killing him. Yan Da looked at him proudly but before they could say good bye. A bright golden light engulfed Yan Da, taking her from there.

"Yan Da!" Shuo Gang yelled in anguish. He knew that she would be gone but not this soon. "You promised..." He uttered. Tears falling from his cheeks. "You, liar."

~~~

"What happened?" Flame asked. The screen became black when after Shuo Gang's words.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. It's only the gem. It would be back after a while." Said the leader. Suddenly, it did become clear again.

~~~

Yan Da opened her eyes. She blinked. She was floating. Getting up she looked around. It was an enchanting place. Very magical. Beautiful lights were all around. Crystals too and flowers.

"You finally woke up," someone then said. Yan Da looked around but didn't see anyone.

"Don't bother looking for me. You won't see me."

"You're the crystal aren't you?"

"...Yes."

Yan Da sighed. "Did you have to take me back immediately!? You didn't even let me see my brother get crowned as king."

The gem sighed. "I'm sorry but I need to heal you. There's a realm that needs your help desperately. You have to be there as soon as possible because it's getting worse."

"What!?" Yan Da exclaimed.

"Yes. It's as you've heard."

Yan Da sighed. "How much worse?"

"Very much." The gem said with pain in her voice. "This time it wasn't only the fire tribe but the whole three realms."

Yan Da's eyes widened at that. She then felt a foreign energy entered her.

"But as I heal you, you can still see that realm you have left behind."

(^_^) (^_^) (^_^)

"Long live the king! Love live the queen!" the people of the fire tribe shouted, rejoicing. Shuo Gang and Lan Shang faced the crowd happily.

"If only she could see this." He said. Lan Shang held his hand. "I'm sure that wherever she is. She's proud of you."

The king smiled, nodding. He knew that it was true. Yan Da. His sister from another realm. "I'll be the great king you want me to be you'll see." He whispered.

I know.

His eyes widened at that. Y-yan da?

Yes. I'm sorry that I couldn't say good bye properly.

Where are you? Are you back in your realm?

No. Not yet. I still need to go somewhere. Somewhere that needed me. But Shuo Gang remember always that I'm proud of you. I have to go. Take care of yourself and the others. I love you.

The king felt tears filled his eyes when he felt his connection with her was cut off completely. He would definitely make her proud.

Years passed, a young girl could be seen running towards a boy that's older than her. The boy laughed when the girl caught him. Both stumbled into the ground.

"I caught you," said the young girl. Ying Kong Shi smiled. He's now eleven years of age.

"That you did."

"You know what that means." The girl said arrogantly. Shi nodded, putting his hand up.

"I'll always be your faithful servant forever even in other realms and in our next lives

Princess Yan Da."

The girl smiled, kissing him on the cheek. "That seals it. You can never betray me."

"Never." Shi repeated, holding the young fire princess hand. He remember older Yan Da's words. 

"Ying Kong Shi, you'll see me again. I promise."

Back to Yan Da...

She's now fully healed. The gem also cleaned and changed her into her armor. It told her that she'll need it. Her sword and whip were also given to her.

"I pray for your safety fire princess. It will be difficult." It warned her." But I trust you."

Yan Da kept quiet. The gem smirked. "And before I forget."

A golden mark then appeared on Yan Da's right back hand. "Good luck." Said the gem. Before Yan Da felt her eyes became heavy again. The scene changed, bringing her into a realm that would really test her every being.
