Chapter 10

Mother fell asleep in my arms. I am caressing her head and put her head on my lap so she can rest comfortably. I am thinking deeply and accessing my situation right now. I will lend power to the Portunus Locks to strengthen them. I will check all Realms gates to make sure. The most obvious Lock that is weakening is the Mortal Realm but I need to make sure that other Locks are still okay and strong. I formed a bed out of vines and grass for Mother to sleep with. After putting her to bed, I went out of the Space of Life. My feet felt the grass from the Realm. As I am in my true form, every step I make makes the grass to be more healthy and grow to its fullest growth.

I walked towards the portal where the Gates can be accessed. I put my hand in front of the portal. It slowly activates and glowing in white light. I closed my eyes for a moment and I opened them slowly. As I open my eyes, six gates can be seen namely the gate of Mortals, the gate of Magic Realm, the gate of the Forbidden Kingdom, the gate of the Underworld, the gate of Heavens, and the gate of the Universe. I walked towards the gate of Mortal to check its Locks. It's getting rusty and the chains are having cracks. I lend it with my power providing it with a shield with equal strength to the actual Locks when it was still in good condition.

The Locks was made when I was still not born. The Portunus Locks creator is a powerful elderly having the qualification to be a part of the Gods or to rule the Council of Phebous but he declined the offer and wanted to travel and to have freedom. But due to ambushes and attacks on him by the Dark Cultivators, he was forced to be safe in his haven. His generation is making Locks and is responsible for the security system of different organizations in the Magic Realm but his power is still one of the best. He still didn't pick his descendant that will inherit his secret techniques and we have a crisis today. I hope my Uncles and Aunts will obtain a cure for his disease. The last resort will be made by me.

One by one, I checked all Locks and provided them shields to make sure that they will not be infiltrated by unknown sources or by the enemies. It is better to make quality control here before anything can happen unexpectedly. It is also to lessen the burden and problems of Mother while I am away.

I walked towards the portal to go back to Mother's Realm. As soon as I get back, I walked towards the portal of the spiritual beast and teleported. I am welcomed by different creatures with their different grades. They are ranked from 0-S class. 0 grades are the ones who are maintaining their Realm magic. They are also the healers of the spiritual beast. That is why they are the rulers of this Realm. While grade A-S are the protectors of the Realm.

Every Beast started to run towards me and collided with each other wanted to be the first one to be in front of me. All spiritual beasts are fond of me. I am always here during my free time and helping the Fairy King in any way I can when I was a child. When I started to rebel due to my fate, I couldn't visit this Realm. The spiritual beast can talk but only Grade 0 royal family and Grade S can take human forms.

"Sleysley. We miss you" All of them said and others roared with delight.

" I miss you all too. All of you come here." I said and they run towards me. Each one of them received hugs, forehead leans and kisses. As I am doing it to everyone, the Fairy King came.

"Cathaleya, we are glad for your visit" The Fairy King smiled and bowed to me.

"It is good to be back. I think we need to talk, King" I said. I made myself a clone so that I can still talk to the spiritual beast while I am away and need to talk to the fairy King.

" Catch up with me, okay? I need to talk to the King. All of you should behave or I will not cook you your favorite Tomato soup." Everyone roared with delight.

" Talked to the Grade S beast after talking with other grades. Be open and not biased. Same as before. We will cook Tomato soup when I return. The meeting will be held later." I talked to myself. She nodded and started walking towards the beast. I looked at one specific beast and eyed him. "Talk to you soon, Twilight," I said to him telepathically.

I followed King towards the castle. As soon as I entered the castle, a chubby cheeks little girl flew towards me for a hug.

"Sleysley, you're here. You're here!" She hugged me tight and I hugged her back.

" Nice seeing you again, Sley." Princess Diane smiled at me. She is the second born of the Royal Family of the Spiritual Beast.

" Nice seeing all of you and to you Prince Ban." He looked at me coldly and bowed for respect. The firstborn of the Family and their future ruler. All their people inside the castle followed him and bowed at me.

"Sleysley, let's play, hmm??" Said the one who is currently hugging me. She is the youngest, Princess Elizabeth. The sweetest princess here and a bit mischievous.

" My child, we have a matter to discuss. Maybe later, okay?" Her father was the one who answered.

"I'll make tomato soup later let's eat at the open field later, okay??"

"Okay" As soon as she heard tomato soup, her eyes began to sparkle, as well as the people inside. This Realm loves my tomato soup and that is all their request every time I go here. She runs towards her sister and waved her hands to me before they went somewhere.

"Let's go to my office." We began to walk upstairs. Prince Ban also joined us. At the office, the three of us seat on the couch.

"What happened here after I went to the Mortal Realm, King?"

" Mother became weak, especially that the one Fruit was not in the Magic Realm. You are also responsible for balances that Realm and the others. When he was put into slumber, you know that unbalances was already happening. It worsen when you moved to the Mortal Realm. Mother tried so hard to balance the auras. She can but fluctuation became unstable a year ago in the Universe Realm. "

"We cope up but our magic weakened to as the Tree of Life weakened. We can't balance the magic here also, some tree habitat became dark and turned to ashes when touched," Prince Ban continued with his cold voice. With his statement, I remembered the plants that became dark and turned to dust when touched at Mother's Realm.

"We also heard from some beasts that their summoners mentioned or some of them saw that some plant life is weakening. Same symptoms like here can be seen. Frequent storms in the East and the West became colder. North and South increase their temperature. Imbalances are very evident. " It made me sigh heavily.

" I'll lend some magic here. I think I will come home soon. Cookie will let you know my plans. For now, I will take care of Mother."

"Cathaleya, I know it's hard to accept your fate but please return home. All of us need you. "

After our talk, I prepare the things needed to make a tomato soup. With the royal family beasts, they helped to move the big cauldron and the recipes to make a tomato soup. As soon as we arrived at the open field, the beast gathered and encircled me and the equipment and recipe. My clone approached and we became one. I absorbed all the things she knew from every beast. I let it slide for a moment begin cooking the tomato soup. After many minutes, the tomato is ready to be eaten by everyone. With the help of the beasts under the Royal family, we distributed the tomato soup to everyone that varies from the sizes of the bowl depending on the size of the beasts. Some are extremely small and some are extremely big. I made their own bowls many years ago and they all have their names on them.

All of us began to eat it. I can see the happiness of everyone. As I finish my bowl of tomato soup, I lay on the grass looking at the blue sky with its white clouds. I saw the four moons with their different colors, yellow, red, blue, and white. After a while of mesmerizing the sky, I quickly stand up.

" Grade S to the Enchanted River, immediately," I commanded to them.

" Yes, SleySley." They shouted in unison.

We walked together to the Enchanted River. I lead and took a few steps until half of my body is submerged in the water. One by one, they followed me until all of us is submerged in the river. We held hands together. I began to concentrate and opened my eyes.

"Magic Formation: 12 Stars Union" All of us glowed in white light. The day became night. Stars began to show up and shooting stars are visible up above.

" SHOOT," All of us said. The stars began to land in this realm and slowly revealed their form.
