"Cousin, w-what do you mean...?" Rovina asked me, while her face is turning pale
I sighed deeply, then calmed myself before speaking to her again
"Try summoning a fireball," I asked her
she directly obliges, but suddenly frowned
"c-cousin, I can't do it..." she said looking worried
"Also I cannot feel my powers...Princess Ebieria, can you tell us what is going on?" Princess Owlfia looked at me worriedly, hoping for answers
But before I started explaining, we waited for Princess Hylia, Professor Liwei, Austin, and Mr. Revis to get in the arena so that I can explain everything only once.
"By now, all of you noticed that why you can't feel your power within you and why can't you summon it right?" I asked and all of them nodded meanwhile Austin just looked away.
"The reason is that...the power stone was taken away by its rightful place, and when it's not in its rightful place...then the power in Enchantia will slowly disappear, which means we won't be able to use our powers or in other words, we're completely human," I continued
"wait, if the magic in this world is completely disappearing then that means that the spell placed on those wild and supposed-to-be dark creatures in the
"Princess Ebieria, may I know how you learned all about this? as far as know, the headmistress forbids the professors to teach thy students about the stones to keep everyone safe and keep them out of curiosity," Professor Liwei asked looking curious
I bit my lip trying to compose myself and thought of an excuse, which is not really an excuse but something safer than telling the entire truth.
"I read about the stones in the forbidden library in my kingdom..." I answered, I can't tell them I used the time stone to travel back in time, it'll create more problems.
Professor Liwei's eyes widen, including the others, well except Rovina, but what intrigued me the most is Austin's 0.2-second reaction, I know I saw his eyes sparkle but just in a very short time.
But before Professor Liwei could say anything, I directly continued answering
"I know forbidden libraries meant no one is allowed to go in, but at least the heir and heiresses need to know something about it so that they wouldn't be dumbfounded once they start ruling, I mean how will they be able to rule if they don't know anything about half of the world,"
All of them except Austin looked at me with impressed expressions then nods in agreement, I hope professor Liwei wouldn't push me with more questions.
I noticed professor Liwei sighed then said, "You have a point, your majesty, for now, let's stop with the questions first and if this were an average problem that a soldier can do, I would have let you all go back to your homes," she said
"What do you mean professor?" This time, Prince Rikou asked a question
"I know all of you are determined to save the world right? and I know all of you would rather journey on finding the missing stone than staying in your kingdoms seeing your people suffering the loss of powers," she continued
We all nodded agreeing to what Professor Liwei said.
"Professor, are you saying that you wanted exactly the eight of us to go find the power stone?" Prince Andrew asked
"Yes, I know that a Professor is supposed to keep their students safe, but I don't think there would even be even a student to protect and teach in the future if the power stone won't be retrieved," Professor Liwei said
"Professor, why exactly the eight of us? I mean we are all grateful that you didn't stop us despite being the heir or heiresses in a kingdom," Princess Owlfia curiously asked
"because I know all of you can do it, with or without your powers, plus all of you are not completely powerless," Professor Liwei answered
"What do you mean Professor?" I asked
"Your Power stoned weapons," Professor Liwei said, "I know all of you are
Then suddenly, all of them took out their power stoned weapons, one by one, I saw Rovina called out 'resplandor encendido', which made her ring with a dagger symbol transform into a dagger with flames, the same goes for others except me and Mr. Revis, taking out their weapons; Princess Owlfia with an Infinity bow, Prince Dark with a Labrys axe, Prince Andrew with his Excalibur, Prince Rikou with his Polearm and Prince Austin with his Kusarigama.
Okay, so I don't have a power stoned weapon since the chunk that was from our kingdom was split into five, which meant five power stoned weapons for the five guardians, and since me, my mom and our ancestors can control 5 elements, they decided that we won't use a power stoned weapon, so basically, I don't have one.
"Um, pardon me, professor, I just wanted to know how am I included in all of this? since I'm just a civilian with no royal bloodline or something that originally grown up on Earth?" Mr. Revis asked looking confused
Professor Liwei then smiled, "I guess you still don't know anything about your true Identity, Mr. Revis, yes you might not be part of a royal bloodline, but I do know that there is something special coursing through your blood, and you don't need any power stoned weapon,"
"eh? what do you mean Professor?"
"I believe the head of the orphanage gave you a weapon," Professor Liwei answered
"H-how did you know that?"
"of course I know, she is the fourth sister of the headmistress Amrea, and the weapon you have right now is the holy gun,"
All of us got shocked since a holy gun is held by only Angels and once it shot a dark creature, then that creature will instantly die or turn to ashes.
Professor Liwei continued explaining to us a lot of things until we noticed that the skies are already dark.
"For now, it is not safe to go outside the arena since the possibility of the feral dark animals could be out from the dark forest and is lurking, so I suggest that we stay here until the day will rise," The professor said
"And Princess Ebieria, can I talk to you for a moment?" she continued
I nodded and followed her on another corner of the
"Princess, I know Headmistress Amrea wants you to figure out what the bracelet she gave to you meant, but I decided to tell you about it now since you need to be able to use it immediately in times of danger,"
I got confused on what she meant about "using" but the bracelet is just a normal bracelet, right?
"That bracelet with a scythe pendant is actually a power stoned weapon,"
or not normal at all.
"h-how is this a power stoned weapon? Elementia only has five." asked looking confused
"It's because, the one your wearing is not from your kingdom, but the kingdom where your father lives, Reveria kingdom, the kingdom of Reapers,"
