Chapter 4 - Deity

Rius thrust his balled fist straight to Zi's face, his fist was only a breath away from her. The on lookers held their breath waiting for the punch to hit Zi. 'eh?' the fairies who is watching the commotion was dumbfounded. Rius himself had his eyes wide open. He was sure that the punch was directed to her face but it totally missed the hit. His fist hit the air inches away from her head.

Zi didn't care about his reverie and pass him, walking towards Jess with her regular steps. "But you are a warrior and you shouldn't have said sorry, I'm just following your example is that wrong?" still not looking at him she bend to take Jess pulse.

Rius was still looking in his balled fist. 'How did it happen?' he turn around and look at Zi, 'Im sure she didn't dodge the attack just now'. As a warrior Rius was very familiar with powerful auras but right now the girl doesn't have the slightest touch of the aura. He was sure that his punch was guided to a different direction when it was near her.

Zi look at Jess figure curling into a ball, her eyes wavered a little and a knowing smile formed on her lips but left as soon as it forms. She was about to stood up when she felt a gashed of wind behind her back, with a flash Rius redirected his arms slicing like a sword towards her lower back. A sound of ripped garment was heard. The fairies who closed their eyes when they saw Rius attacked again slowly open their leads and what they saw was the girl engulfed by sky blue and silver dust.

The dust light dance for only a second, their jaws literally drop as they saw Zi wearing a combination of plain mint green with mint blue robe. Her hair colored in mint green was tied in a high single bond adorned by hydrangea flowered clip. Her facial features change into as well, her almond eyes turned into a sharp phoenix eyes, her lips was thin and has the color of mint. Her cheekbones was high as well as her sharp pointed nose. She was like a supreme fairy who came down to earth. Her ocean green orbs was conveying a very dangerous glint, her lips was press together making her look like an aloof Deity yet her current appearance was alluring sight to behold.

"Wrong move man…" she whisper making sure that only she and Rius heard it. He was startled by what she said but he was still staring intently at her. Her eyes was still dead, like looking into an insignificant creature. Her change of outfit was so sudden that he was stunned to death by the other worldly face in front of him. 'She is…' Rius, like others was stood rooted on the ground, he knew that this was her real appearance and his knees shake from the realization. Before he could kneel he saw her move. He knew she will attacked using her hands because he saw her lifting it up, but her hand wasn't just fast but it was also like a wind, it couldn't be seen and hard to discern where it will come from.

He closed his eyes waiting for the pain. One second… two seconds… three seconds passed and the pain never came, when he opened his eyes he let himself kneel on the ground and bowed his head deeply. Still trembling, "This warrior have wronged your highness!" fear creep in deep in his bones making his voice shake.

Zi lifted her hands not to attack but to collect the fallen leaves containing the kingdom news that Jess had to deliver to other houses. She wasn't even paying attention to the surrounding when she used her aura a bit to suck the basket together with the fallen leaves. After doing so she was about to walk but then saw that all the fairies watching was kneeling, head touching the ground.

"ah…" 'What's going on?' confusion was all over her face and she look around again then it hit her. In all of the YIansoul Gi (the kingdom name) there is only one a few who could change their appearance. One of them is the Deities, deities where like ordinary fairies, they have the same built and features. From the oldest generations of fairies there wasn't one who have seen a real deity. It was because they believe that this peculiar creatures can alter their looks and blend among ordinary fairies. Their original features was other worldly.

Deities where believe to be ancient creatures that hold a great power, they all support the system of the world, making it function perfectly while balancing the world. They are like guardians sent by Hashem, the one who created all things. Their power was beyond what fairies can do and could only dreamed of. And to the whole YIansoul Gi they were revered as Highness.

Remembering this Zi was troubled of how to redeem herself from the mistake, 'hmm… well just let them be… I guess?' she thought and after a few breaths she decided to oppose her initial thought and waved her hands making a wind breeze touch each of the kneeling fairies. Feeling it they look up and it was a signal for them to get lost. They hurriedly stood but silently went away afraid to irritate the "deity" in front of them.
