"hello tae li" faes spoke smiling. "can i call you lili?"
"yes master" tae li replied her voice carrying her excitement.
"you can also call me faes, this is kailial" faes introduced kai who was standing nearby smiling.
"nice to meet you" kai greeted but then chuckled "can you let my princess get up now?"
faes was still laying on the ground with tae li on her stomach.
"oh sorry!" tae li instantly flapped her wings hovering in the air and letting faes get up before landing on her extended arm.
"do you want to meet others?" faes asked
"yes" tae li replied her silvery blue eyes shining. others haven't felt tae li's gaze or even presence before but they were nervous and afraid because faes was afraid at first. faes couldn't help it, the mystic fog castle space was mysterious, it won't hurt her to be cautious and she had thought that the gaze was some kind of monster at first making her fear.
faes scanned the area around her once more before returning with kai. once inside she found everyone in the sitting area worrying.
"its alright everyone, you guys can relax" faes smiled at others once they entered the castle.
"are you alright?" everyone seemed concerned for her but after assuring they relaxed and faes introduced them to tae li.
after which they all went to sleep. it was already past their bedtime and they had a mission to finish tomorrow.
....
next day after breakfast everyone got ready for the mission. faes also got ready before leaving mystic fog castle,
once she was back in front of the clearing she activated hide zero. hiding her body, scent and even mana flowing around her.
once she was sure that she was not going to get caught she made her way towards the cave, moving past the patroling wolves and sliding between veins without disturbing them as much as possible. after entering the cave faes checked if any wolf discovered her presence.
'good!' noticing the wolves going about their business as usual faes relaxed slightly before going deeper into the cave still careful about the wolves.
it wasn't long before she arrived in the inner area of the cave where the two elemental strengthening wolves rested.
faes waited for sometime before proceeding further inside. the two wolves had not discovered her yet.
past the inner area was a room, a huge room! inside was nothing other than one door and a wolf. this wolf seem to be a pup but the pressure it radiated was even greater than the two elemental strengthening stage wolves outside.
its fur was pure white as snow, while it had a sun mark over its forehead. just after faes entered the room, the white wolf opened its eyes focusing on her.
'sure enough it discovered me' faes bit her lip as she tried to move closer to the door past the wolf pup but it only bared its fangs at her movement. suddenly the path behind her was sealed off using earth magic leaving only faes and the white wolf in the room.
noticing that faes can neither use space magic nor enter the mystic fog castle she forced herself to relax meeting the wolf pup's eyes.
'system scan'
[scanning....]
[scan complete..]
[name: tony
title: wolf king, Darklight guardian
race/bloodline: royal divine wolf
cultivation: elemental strengthening stage 2
powers: light, fire, water,earth, air elements.]
when faes read the scanned report she frowned. she felt something wrong about the pup but at the same time similar too.
"hello, i am faes" faes decided to try and check if her guess was correct.
"faes, you have holynight guardian as a companion?" the wolf asked in return. though its voice was childish it was clearly filled with the dominance of an alpha wolf king.
"yes" faes replied nodding as her assumption was proven correct. she called tae li out of mystic fog castle right after which she was able to unlike how she still cant enter the space herself.
when tony saw tae li he nodded his head.
"if you defeat me you can go past me to the last room." tony said to tae li and turn to faes "you are not allowed to participate in this match"
faes found herself at the corner of the room suddenly her hands and legs were trapped in the wall while she cannot use her mana.
tae li had teleported her while tony trapped her. faes was confused if they wanted to harm her or not, but realizing her state she stayed silent and watched both the divine beast stare at each other.
"you are the rival chosen by him?" tony said
"lord levi wants you to become my master's other companion" tae li replied releasing her aura which wasn't any bit inferior to tony's
"if you defeat me i will accept her as my master." tony replied attacking tae li suddenly.
both didn't move from their place but their elements one light and other dark clashed together. The resulting explosion made faes feel like she was being attacked. though she was physically fine her consciousness suddenly began to waver and soon she blacked out.
whereas both tae and tony were fine continuously attacking each other with only light and dark attributes. though there was one cultivation realm gap between them the fight was ending in a stalemate. suddenly tae li began using her space magic and lightening attacks while tony began to use other elements.
this time they ended up in stalemate again!
both sides stopped attacking staring at each other after few minutes. the original empty and clean room was a mess with various craters here and there.
"i admit defeat! you won." tony suddenly said before laying down lazily
"you are too lazy to continue fighting, otherwise you will win for sure" tae li rolled her eyes.
"i am accepting faes as my master because she is the chosen one. i can easily defeat you" tony replied letting faes out of her trap while tae teleported her near them.
"lets mark her now?" tae li suggested.
"fine" tony agreed as both placed their hands on faes body a black and white light engulfing three of them.
when the light faded a yin yang mark formed on faes forehead which vanished after a while as she woke up.
"tony greets master faes" tony spoke as faes sat up still feeling slightly sleepy. she didn't know what happened but by the looks of it tae li won. faes also noticed that she can feel the two divine beast presence near her even without seeing then with her eyes or using any other senses.
"what did you two do?, you arent going to kill me are you?" faes asked
"not unless i find out you are tasty enough" tony replied but was poked on head by tae li
"don't mind him, we will never hurt you master. we are your guardians. from now on we both along with our families will serve you" tae li explained that they were guardians for faes chosen by someone called levi. but they refused to clear who levi was.
"fine if you want. now lets check the last room?" faes got up as tae li sat on her shoulder. she opened the door present in the room as a multicoloured light blinded her.
