Chapter Four "Ancient Law and Ancient Mountain"

All the chatter stopped. The great hall went silent and The Chief turned to his daughter.

"Where and how did you come to find out?" said the chief

"in my way out of the village to follow Koni, I heard echoes coming from the crystals forest. I doubted myself for a second, thinking that koni headed to that direction. It was against my instincts it was not the right path. I knew deep inside that she went once more to the ruins in the far side of the island. However, I decided to seek the source of these echoes all the same. I walked in to the crystals forest and there I saw him" said Kobi

" What else have you seen? Speak child don't be afraid" said the water shifter Dajo

"He used his powers to open multiple portals across the forest" said Kobi

"Yes, continue don't stop now" said Koni to her sister

"I don't know anything else, that's all I have seen. I didn't know this was unusual. I decided to run back and catch up with Koni " said Kobi

"but you should, you must know more" said Dajo

"Enough! if she says that's all she knows, then that's all she knows" said the chief firmly

" We have to move quickly and seek more answers" said the chief

"Master of Ice, send some of the Icen pure bloods to search the ruins and the far side of the island" said the chief

"At once Chief" said Cajeem Master of Ice

"Master of Fire, your Firen pure bloods will head to the Crystals forest, we must have answers" said Boco

"As you command, chief" said Fajeem Master of Fire

The chief left his throne once more and dismissed the elders. Each door opened and the elders glided out of the Great hall.

"Come girls, it's time for your bed" said Nari to her children while holding their hands to walk them out of the hall.

" I am sorry, Father. I should have collected more information" said kobi to her father while looking down avoiding her father's eyes

"You are on a clear path my child; you continue to make me proud" said Boco with love in his eyes but yet worried

"Go, Tomorrow is a new day" said Boco to his wife Nari

Nari walked with her daughters out of the great hall and headed next to the water streams down to the second level of the village further down the hill. Walked into the house and looked at the girls.

"I want both of you to go to sleep and rest, today has been a big day for all of us, but as your father said, tomorrow is a new day" said Nari

"Mother, please. I want to know more." Said Koni while begging her mother to tell her more.

"I will tell you more come morning I promise, but for now rest my child" said Nari

Kobi and koni head to there room, but both girls were never the same after today. Both laid in their bed staring at the wide open ceiling. Gazing at the stars wondering if their life have changed forever.

Kobi kept on thinking did I fail my father, should I have watched koni closer. Maybe if I did she would have never left the village.

But if I did I would have never discovered the open portals in the crystals forest. Am I ready to face all the unknown. Am I ready yet to serve my father and my people as the pure blood I should be?

Koni however, was excited to find out all this in one day. That was more than she ever known all her life until this day. She still feared of the unknown, but she was still thrilled to know more about herself.

Her mind went on thinking. She is the most powerful how is that possible? She doesn't feel any different than yesterday. She can't even make it to the far side of the island without even being discovered by her sister and her father.

While all those thoughts occupied koni's mind. One thing stood out more than the rest. What did her father mean when he said "you girls broke an ancient law". What does he mean by that? What is that Law? And where it comes from? And what does it means to her and her family?

The stars in the sky faded slowly and everything darkened. but it wasn't the sky nor the stars. it was the girls falling asleep deeply.

Next day, at the earliest. Koni woke up and her Mother Nari was standing by the bed.

"Are you ready to learn more about your people and who you truly are?" said Nari with a smile on her face looking down at her daughter.

"YESSS!" said Koni while jumping out of bed and hugging her mother

"Get dressed, Today we start your training" said Nari

"Great, should I wake up Kobi?"said Koni to her Mother

"Your sister went with her father to the Esserium" said NAri

"Esserium? what is that mother?" said kobi

"it's a safe place where pure bloods can practice their powers without effecting the real world" said Nari while handing koni her training outfit.

"Oh yes, Kobi took me to her Esserium before, when we were trying to leave the ruins" said Koni while dressing fast

"That's what I thought, Most pure bloods travel to their Esserium when in danger, but that's only when you are not powerful enough.." said Nari

"Where do advanced pure bloods go to mother? where do you go to when you face danger?" said Koni

"We don't need to...., come let's head out" said Nari

Nari and her daughter walked out of the house, which looked like a crystal sparkling under sun light. Nari lead the way and koni followed headed deep in the forest around the village. filled with confidence that nothing more she wants than becoming who she's meant to be.

"Mother, last night father mentioned something about us breaking the ancient law, what did he mean by that?" said Koni

"The pure blood law, it's mainly about not putting any pure blood in danger nor try to kill them using your powers. you will learn more about it as we train" said Nari

"Ah, we are here" said Nari

Koni found her self standing under a base of a huge mountain, gates were curved at the base of the mountain, and a strange looking creature was standing by the gate.

Nari turned on her heel and reached down to koni with one hand on her daughter's cheek.

"before we approach any closer, once we start walking into this mountain and we start your training. you will be abided by the ancient law, if you hurt any pure blood nor kill them using your powers, then you would have broken the law and there will be consequences, do you understand me?" said Nari

"I understand Mother, but may I ask what could possibly happen if I made a mistake and Broken that law?" said Koni quietly

"Then you will no longer control your power. it will control you" Said Nari
