The Little Princess

"Hmm? You don't believe me?"

"It… can't be. How can you be the Princess!?"

"Kekeke! It seems you guys haven't figured it out yet!"

"What do you mean!?"

"Enough of this talk. And as for you, my little one…"

The Dark Princess walked toward the Little Princess and held her face. With eyes filled with clear malice.

"I really… really want to kill you. But it's not time yet. What should I do to you, huh?"

"Please, let me go…" The Little Princess was trembling with teary eyes filled with fear.

"Stay away from her!"

While the Dark Princess was focused on the Little Princess, Lilia tried hard to break the chains binding her to no luck until, her forehead shone brightly with light.

"What!? Arggh!!"

The chains that held her in place broke down and a character filled with light formed on her forehead.

"What are you doing!?" The Dark Princess asked while being blinded by the Light from Lilia's forehead. She focused on looking at her forehead and saw a character. "It can't be!"

The Dark Princess cloaked herself in darkness and roared, "This is not over yet!" before escaping, leaving the Little Princess with Lilia.

After she left, the light vanished along with the character on Lilia's forehead. Lilia dropped to the floor and asked in shock, "…What just happened?"

The Little Princess ran toward her and said, "Miss! You're so powerful! You had the scary woman running!"

Lilia looked at the Little Princess, held her hands and asked, "Are you alright Princess?"

"Yes."

"Good, now let's get out of here."

"Hmm. Come, follow me."

"You know where the exit is?"

"Yes. I saw it when your forehead shone brightly."

"Alright Princess. Lead the way."

The Little Princess guided Lilia to the exit. Then, they saw a white portal. "This is the exit." said the Little Princess.

"Alright. Let's go Princess."

But the Princess was hesitating to follow Lilia into the portal.

"Princess?"

"I…I'm scared."

After hearing her words, Lilia hugged the Little Princess and told her, "I am always here Princess. Everything's going to be alright. You know what? I know someone who's just like you. She is very brave and bubbly."

"Like me?"

"If you want to be like her, you shouldn't be scared. Alright? Trust me."

"Hmm, okay!"

Then, both of them stepped into the Portal. On the other side, at the Clarity Hall. The Primordial Spirit of Lilia flew from the Princess, back to the physical body of Lilia. The dark aura from the Princess's body receded and everything returned to normal. However, the Princess stayed unconscious. Other Core disciples carried the Princess back to her room. Feng Yuixen ran towards her and held her, keeping her from falling after her Primordial Spirit went back to her Physical form.

"Lady Lilia!" Yuixen carried Lilia to her room. Before the Physician arrived, Lilia woke up.

"Argghh, my head."

"Lady Lilia, please. Don't get up yet. You need more rest."

Lilia was suddenly reminded of the Little Princess.

"The Princess…" she whispered.

"What did you say Lady Lilia?"

"Where's the Princess!?"

"I instructed others to carry the Princess back to her room."

"How is she?"

"She's unconscious."

"Let me take a look at her."

"Please, you need to take a rest first."

Lilia stubbornly demanded that she wanted to check on the Princess. She immediately went to the Princess's room and saw that the Princess lying in the bed, still unconscious.

"Sigh… I'm glad she's alright."

"Lady Lilia, your condition needs to be checked. …Please."

"Alright…"

Yuixen brought Lilia back to her room and the Physician checked her condition.

"My Lady, you consumed a lot of energy after you entered the Princess's Mind and your Primordial spirit is damaged. You are not allowed to use your powers anymore as it might kill you. It can also destroy your Primordial Spirit."

"Is there a way to heal her?" Yuixen asked with concern.

"There is. But…"

"But, what?"

"Please forgive me. The only way to heal Lady Lilia's Primordial Spirit is by consuming the Pill of Light."

"Alright. Where can we find this Pill of Light?"

"That is the Problem. Only the Goddess of Balance can make the Pill of Light. But she's been missing for many years now."

"What!?"

The Physician tried to calm down the raging Yuixen and asked for their understanding of his inability.

"Yuixen…" Lilia called to him in a calmly and added, "It's alright." While smiling at him.

Yuixen instructed the Physician to leave. Then, he stood beside Lilia and promised her that he will find a way to heal her Primordial Spirit.

"It's okay Yuixen. If this is my destiny, then so be it."

"Destiny this, destiny that. You always talk about destiny! Stop this nonsense, Lady Lilia. There is always a way. You just don't lose hope!"

"Yuixen…"

"Stop. Not another word. You should take plenty of rest. I will take care of things in the sect and will explain to the Master about what happened once she returns."

Then, Yuixen took his leave and Lilia went back to her sleep.

While sleeping, Lilia had a dream. In the dream, the world was in Chaos and one person stood in the middle of that chaos and was trying to stop it. However, that person also vanished along with the chaos. She suddenly woke up and heard a noise outside.

She went outside and inquired a disciple nearby, "What's happening?"

"My lady. We have been informed that there is a Child running around the garden." The disciple answered.

"A Child?"

"Yes, My Lady."

While Lilia was still confused, the disciple ran in the direction of the garden. She murmured, "How can there be a child in the sect?" and suddenly, she remembered that while she was inside the Princess's mind, both she and the Little Princess stepped into the Portal.

So, Lilia immediately ran to the garden confirm if her guess was correct. There, she was shocked by what she saw, "Princess?"

The Little Princess looked at Lilia and smiled, "My savior! Hehe!" The Little Princess ran toward Lilia and hugged happily while everyone (including Lilia) stood in shock.

"What's happening here Lady Lilia?" Yuixen asked.

"It can't be…" Lilia ran to the Princess's room and saw that the Princess was still lying unconscious on her bed.

"This can't be happening…" Lilia murmured in shock.

Yuixen followed Lilia along with the Little Princess, "Lady Lilia?"

Lilia turned around to look at the Little Princess and asked, "What is happening here?"
