ARAGU

Truth

All of them gathered in the living room of the palaca including King George.

"So where were you when you went missing Lady Labu?" Princess Frea asked first.

The old lady looked at her and smiled. "I see you gathered most of the Elementals Princess." She said and obviously changing the topic.

"Grandmama, where were you really?" Lexus asked, he was eager to know for the sake of Xaeron who was looking at the old lady with sadness with a tint of a little happiness.

Lady Labu sighed and stood up.

"I went to every Kingdom. After Fylux and gave Princess Frea the Book of Aragu I went to HydroPole." She said.

Lexus and Xaeron exchanged glances. "But I didn't see you there. You know that it's dangerous for you because of the face stealer." Lexus said and worriedly looked at the old lady.

Lady Labu just chuckled. "You maybe the Protector of the Sea, but I'm ancient. I know all secrets in Aragu."

"What were you doing in HydroPole Grandmama?" Princess Amane asked.

"Before I answer all your questions, I'm going to tell you what's the purpose of me missing in action. And it may answer your questions during the story telling."Lady Labu chuckled.

Everyone patiently waited.

"When I went to HydroPole, it was my intention not to let Lexus see me and even King Andi. I was secretly meeting the Ancient Ones that lived in HydroPole for a long time." Lady Labu said.

"Ancient Ones?" King George asked. "Yes King George, the Ancient Ones are the Araguras who managed to keep Aragu a balanced world."

Everyone continued listening. "They created the Book of Aragu. I'm an apprentice of the leader of the Ancient Ones. She told me to meet the other members to be ready. . . I went to Kingdom Aeronimbus as well and lastly here. I told all the members to be ready, for the Prophecy is happening."

Lady Labu said and everything went clear. "So that's why you left us? Because meeting the old organization?" Asked Xaeron.

"I apologized, it was meant to happen my dear. . . If I didn't left you, you wouldn't have found a great apprentice."

Aera beamed after what Lady Labu said and she smiled at the young Elemental.

"It was for the best Xaeron. You wouldn't be this strong and become the Master of Fire now if I didn't left and let you depend on me." Lady Labu added.

Xaeron nodded in understanding. Lady Labu looked at the rest.

"Maybe that answered all your questions." She said and exhaled deeply.

"Wait, I have one more question." Lexus said. The old lady ushered him to go on.

"Xaeron and Aera are both Elementals of the Fire and Air. Why didn't the book chose them?"

Lady Labu looked at the two. "The Ancient Ones told me there will be an Elemental who would have a great role during this time. They said it was the apprentice of the Master of Fire."

Everyone looked at the young Elemental. "So, you mean that Aera would be a great help during War?" Kira asked.

"Probably, I mean. . . Who knows? Only the Spirits of Aragu knows her role." Lady Labu said.

Xaeron tapped Aera's shoulder. "I'm proud to be your Master." Aera smiled. "The pleasure is mine Master."

"But what about Xaeron? She could be the one to lead us to our victory." Princess Frea said.
