Deepest part of Magic Forest,
Fei finally opened his eyes…. As he looked around, Fei saw himself lying down on a flower bed. Surprised Fei tried to get up, but he was unable to do so.
Suddenly a melodious sound came from his side, "Your injuries are not fully healed yet…." Fei turned to look in the direction of voice, he saw a beautiful woman coming his way. The woman had green clothes, green eyes but most importantly she had a crown made from vines and flowers on her forehead.
Fei saw the crown as well as an immense amount of plant energy coming from the women in front of him and relaxed.
"You are the guardian spirit of this magic forest"
Fei recognized the woman because only the guardian spirits have the ability to wield a forest crown and as the emperor of the druid kingdom, he had met another guardian spirit before. She also had the same type of crown on her head.
"I am indeed the guardian spirit of this forest." the guardian spirit first surprised and then said as she slowly approached Fei.
To druids Guardian spirits are like Gods. Druids Worship guardian spirits as the guardian spirits provided them with The power to control as well as communicate with plants. So Fei was really respectful towards her.
"My name is Aise " said the guardian spirit Aise while sitting beside Fei.
"Where am I..?" aked Fei respectfully.
"This is the forbidden grounds within the magic forest. You were unconscious in the jungle so I brought you here." said Aise.
"How many days have passed..?" asked Fei.
"Two Days have passed.." Aise patiently explained.
'Can she take me to my homeland if I request her..?' a thought flashed in Fei's mind as he looked at Aise.
Guardian spirits have the ability to space travel. As he looked at Aise, he saw her smile playfully while looking at Fei's body.
Feeling something amiss, Fei looked at his body and sure enough, Fei's whole body was green.
Terrified, Fei asked Aise
"What did you do to me….?"
"Hehe…. You are the one who drank a bottle full of Life Water and you ask me what I did to you…?" Aise said feeling bitter. 'Such precious liquid wasted…' were the thoughts in her mind.
Still in shock Fei looked at his hands sure enough they all were green. But when he touched his face What he felt horrified him.
He had grown two horns on top of his head.
'Finished….. I am Finished...' Panicked, Fei looked at Aise hopefully. She was the only one who might have a solution to this.
but before he could ask any questions Aise asked him seriously,
"Have you ever heard of Gauls…?"
Startled, Fei remembered that inside his kingdom's ancient records, there was a mention of Gauls.
Gauls were an ancestral race to the Druids. Legend says that all Druid powers originated from Gauls. They were the first ones who created plant manipulation ability. They were also the ones who first communicated with plants and started worshipping Forest gods. They were the original rulers of Forests. This all changed when Demons attacked their settlements to destroy them. They left no one alive and within a month the whole Gaul race was killed and disappeared.
"I have heard about them…" said Fei as he looked at the serious face of Aise, his Face turned grim.
"Don't tell me…."
Aise gave him a subtle nod "When you drank the LIfe water, Ancestral Bloodline of Gauls awakened. But the important point is you awakened the Royal Ancestral Bloodline of Gauls." Aise said as she looked at Fei quiet jealousy.
At first Aise was shocked too. Awakening an Ancestral bloodline was next to impossible in present days because of the thinness of bloodline. Awakening Royal Bloodline was even more impossible.
During the Era of war 10,000 years ago, the Gaul kingdom's king opposed the Demon race and because of that an all out war began between Gauls and Demons.Gauls resisted till the end but in the end demons won. Then the massacre of Gauls begane. All the royal family members of Gauls were Killed. Soon Gauls went extinct.
'How does the long lost Royal Ancestral Bloodline of gauls Awaken again?.... Is this an indication of a new Era of War..?' Aise thought.
Fei saw the thoughtful look on Aise's face and asked,
"Is there any way for me to return to my normal appearance..?"
"Do you have any idea how many people try to get a fraction of ancestral bloodline power..? If they know that you have ancestral bloodline power…. They all will rush here to kill you." Aise almost exploded.
'This guy has no clue what an ancestral bloodline means.' Aise thought.
"For the next part of isle trial you will stay here and try to control your bloodline power. I will talk to Algo about it." Aise said.
"Ohh… that little girl..?" Fei said. But when he looked at Aise, he saw her looking strangely at him.
"The girl you are referring to is more than 10,000 years old. A guy like you is just an infant in front of her." Aise impatiently explained.
"But then what about Trials and Getting stronger..?" Fei asked because if he stayed inside this forbidden zone for training he might not have a chance to return back to his home land.
"Fufu…. If you go out now, no one will be able to match you and what is the point of fighting a bunch of weak people. You will stay here until the final battle begins. I also want to see what the Gauls royal bloodline can achieve."
Aise Got up and disappeared leaving a trail of words…
"Rest well after you get better, we have a lot of work to do."
