Princess's Chambers

Ananya returned to reality as Namjoon kept jingling the Empathy Bells.

As the bond broke, Ananya knew she hurt herself pretty bad. She felt blood in her mouth and spat it out immediately.

She looked at Namjoon, hoping he already kept the Healing Syrup outside.

Sure enough, Prince Namjoon handed her a cup of freshly strewn

Healing Syrup.

"Thank You."

Ananya bowed to Namjoon.

Namjoon bowed back in return and said, "We don't have much time. We need you, Now!"

It took Ananya more than a second to realise that the other Princes were nowhere to be seen. Acharya sat in front of her in lotus meditation.

Ananya immediately got into a Lotus Position and started recuperating.

Namjoon knew she could hear him out while recuperating and decided to catch her up.

He started explaining what had been happening these three days of strict Empathy.  Ananya was surprised to hear about how long she was in Empathy. She keenly waited

for him to continue.

Prince Namjoon went to lengths about how the Kingdom was in danger.

According to him, while the Royals were still planning the attack,

  the Dark Forces attacked Maya in full power. They attacked this morning, taking everyone by a surprise.

The local citizens of Maya served a great deal protecting the Kingdom before the Royal Troops arrived.

As Acharya was in Empathy with Ananya, Namjoon had no choice but to foresee the future himself. It took him more than five hours to realise what would happen. He had seen all possibilities and now was opting for the best one.

He explained to Ananya that the Core Gem of Maya was in their hands.

No one knows how they got it.

According to Namjoon, the Dark Forces planned to attack Ananya with full force. As they were surprised with her survival after the last attack, they didn't want to miss their chances now.

Afraid if his words were true, Ananya cast the Third Eye Tailsman

to see what was going on outside.

Sure enough,

the Leader had arrived himself.

Ash Izal,

a former Knight of Izotza, stood amidst his Forces, grinning from ear to ear.

On his hand was the Purple Core Gem of Maya, given graciously to him by Maya herself.

Ananya knew that only Acharya was capable of giving up the Core Gem as she was completely under Ash's control. What shocked Ananya was the fact that Ash didn't let Maya die.

It's already been over a thousand years.

The Thousand Slash Curse is too powerful to be withheld for such a long time. On top of that, Acharya had more than half of her cultivation when she tutored Ananya through all these years.

Not just Ananya,  but all the Princes of the land! It was impossible unless Acharya would kill the assigned person and return to Ash for the revival of her energy. But that doesn't seem to be possible at all! Ananya had seen the fear and hatred in her teacher's eyes whenever a word was uttered about the Night Wolves Pack.

Ananya knew there was no time to be wasted. She quickly recuperated and cast a binding charm on Acharya.

Prince Namjoon wasn't too surprised by this. He quickly grabbed Ananya's arm and raced down the corridor to reach a balcony. He paused and turned to Ananya, " It's going to be hard,

not impossible. "

Ananya nodded.

She smiled at Namjoon and transformed herself into a Phoenix.

Screeching with pure Anger, she stormed towards the Dark Forces.

Ananya wasn't used to her

Spirit Animal but she knew about

Spirit Powers.

She immediately tried flapping her wings with great force and aimed the wind at the Dark Troupes.

In a blink of an eye, the entire Frontline Dark Army was burning in flames.

Amidst this, Ananya caught sight of Ash. His grin had now reduced to serious scorn, the Core Gem gripped in his gloved hands.

There is no way he knows how to use it, Ananya thought to herself and got ready to brace for an attack.

Suddenly, loud screeches filled the air.

Everyone stopped whatever they were doing and fixed their eyes on the sky.

A Phoenix, with a blazing blue flame rose to the sky.

Ananya was shocked seeing another Phoenix. Before she could realise it, Ash used the gem to its full potential.

The Gem's core attacked Ananya at lightning speed.

Seeing Ananya in trouble, the Blue Flamed Phoenix flapped its wings with full vigour. Ananya realised that it cast a Banishment charm.

Before the Dark Force banishment wave could hit the ground, Ananya felt her skin burn. She was turned back to her normal self as soon as she was hit with the Core Gem.

"Ananya!"

Jungkook cried.

Hearing his cry, Jimin flew up to her at rapid speed. He caught Ananya's limp body on time and protected her from the continued desperate attacks of the dark forces.

The Dark Force Banishment wave hit the ground.

It was the strongest wave one had ever seen. The Night Wolves Pack were immediately thrown out of the land. Not a single one was left behind.

Jimin held Ananya up and let her rest on his chest. Through the slits of her eyes, Ananya saw the sky ablaze.

"Acharya!"

Ananya gave a weak cry as she watched the Phoenix

burn itself to ashes.

Ananya lost consciousness and lay motionless in Jimin's arms.

Her last words were ringing in

Jimin's ears.

All the Princes gathered up to Jimin.

Jungkook went on his knees to check on Ananya. Jimin handed her over to him.

Prince Namjoon came running up to them. In his hands, he carried a silk pouch filled with the Phoenix Ash.

"Was she right?"

Jimin asked on the verge of tears.

The others looked at him confused while Namjoon couldn't meet his eyes.

"Right about what?"

Jungkook asked.

"About the Phoenix."

Jimin said as tears streamed down,

"About Acharya."

The boy's gaped at Jimin, speechless.

"A-a-acharya?"

Prince V stammered as tears rolled down his cheek. He turned to Namjoon with hope-filled eyes. It can not be their Teacher. There was no way it was her!

Namjoon took a deep breath and said,

"She is not dead.

We just need a teardrop and

she will be back as she was!"

"I have plenty of that!

Give me the ashes!"

V begged in tears.

"Not all tears can bring her back.

None of ours will work."

Namjoon sighed.

"Then who's will?"

Prince Hope asked.

"I-(sigh)- I don't know."

Namjoon said, strapping the

pouch of Ash and looking at Ananya,

"But she does."
