♡KYLIE POV♡
Waiting for something precious is not bad, I've waited a whole sixteen years of my life just to get the powers of mine.
Maybe after today no longer people will pick on me for a fight, I hope at least no one will bully me hereafter.
I know I should've waited for mom and dad to wake up before leaving the home, at least I should've informed the brother beforehand, but I didn't because, I don't know why, whenever I speak about temple of pearl summit, they always restricted me regarding going there and speaking about it.
As far as I knew, every single person of rabbit clan goes to the temple of pearl summit, it is unclear to me why my family doesn't want me to go there.
Finally, now I'm going to the temple of pearl summit, which is a sacred temple of rabbits clan people.
This is the place where power awakening happens with the help of high priest of rabbit clan, I'm so excited to reach there.
Before going there let me explain about these temples, there are different temples for different animal clans, all of them were treated as sacred places and high priests were highly respected.
Whether it is a king or duke or royal knight, they've to respect the high priest of their respective clan temple, they're bound to follow the instructions of the high priests as the high priests were called as messenger of God.
Coming to the temples' description, I've read about all these in a book,
▪Temple of pearl summit—rabbits
▪Temple Of Wopohr - wolves and foxes
▪︎The temple of Aeneloka - serpents
▪︎The temple of Pearl River—Phoenix
▪︎Shrine Of Perfection—peacock
▪︎The temple of Eabakeria - bears
▪︎The temple of Honor Den—white lion
▪︎The temple of lightning—Panthers and leopards
Somehow people say rabbits and bears clan were close to each other and kind of close friends because both rabbits and bears never hurt innocent people and protects the one need them.
Bears require herbs that are provided by rabbit clan because we are good with smelling grass, so we can provide them the perfect material moreover we grow some common, rare and unique herbs in our clan so in case of emergency to give the herbs in time so that we didn't get any kind of shortage.
Coming to Phoenix and rabbits we have similar temple names, unfortunately right now Phoenix are very rare in number due to some reasons which I never knew but all I know is it was the forbidden part of history to discuss maybe that's why even my parents never talked about it.
Ahhhhhh, finally I've reached the temple of pearl summit, I never expected this temple to be this glorious and beautiful, so whatever I heard is true, this is too beautiful than my imagination.
A temple in between the two mountains and a waterfall, giving vibes like a place in heaven, I no longer able to wait to get inside, I don't understand why my knees felt weak as I started moving forward.
Finally, I stepped in the temple of pearl summit, it's really a heavenly feeling, very silent and peaceful environment, I was amused by the inner beauty of this temple.
The sculptures and paintings showing the story of the world formation and animal clan division, awe this artist deserves much recognition for sculpting such a beauty.
While I was lost in getting mesmerized by the beauty of the temple, a voice brought me back to my senses, "my child, who are you?"
Gaining my senses back, I turned around to see the person, it's a high priest, I quickly bowed and said, "my respectful greetings to the high priest, I belong to rabbit clan and my name is Kylie."
"I've never seen you here, so I didn't know you dear" the high priest smiled, "what made you to come here dear? Are you here to pray to the God?"
I shook my head as no, "The reason I'm here is to awake the powers in me because unlike other, I'm unable to shift myself into my animal form."
"How old are you, dear?" The priest questioned, "I'm 16 years old" I replied respectfully hoping there'll be an answer from him.
"Quite strange! Either your soul power should be weak or the reason must be something else" the high priest said, "follow me dear, we will do a power transformation spell on you, then we will get an answer, hope I might be able to help you to transform."
I quickly nodded my head and started following him, "when you're unable to transform until now, why did you or your family meet me earlier, dear?" After hearing the high priest's question, I replied, "mom told, the one who is unable to transform will be able to get the powers to transform when they're 16 years old."
He hummed, but didn't say anything, what does this silence mean by? Uff everything seems confusing.
I simply followed his footsteps, he took me inside a chamber, I'm hearing many chants here, but no person is around, how it is possible?
"The walls of this chamber can chant dear" I heard high priest saying, maybe he understood what I'm thinking, with a gentle smile, I hummed.
He asked me to settle down in a place, I sat on my knees in the ground, "I'll start the process."
Hoping the positive results I nodded my head, I noticed high priest chanting something while holding a colorful stone and getting into air while some strange lights surrounding him, it's too stunning to watch all these.
After a while he opened his eyes and glanced at me, I didn't understand why he is looking towards so pitifully.
He got down from the air and said, "follow me dear" I simply followed him, he took me near the God statue, "you've to listen what I'm going to say clearly dear."
I nodded my head as yes, he started speaking, just after listening to what he said, I felt like my world is collapsed and shattered into pieces.
"Nooooo" I screamed so hard, he placed his palm on head and said "I know it's hard to accept dear, but it is truth, you must be adopted by your family, that must be the reason you're unable to transform, until you find your true family we can't do anything."
I no longer want to hear anything, why must it be me always? Why do I have to suffer all the time? Why my parents lied to me in everything? When I'm worse than a nightmare, why they've shown a beautiful fairy tale to me?
Why God, why you never show any pity towards me? How do I have to face everyone now? I came here with plenty of hopes, but everything is broken, I can't trust anyone now, not even my family, everyone chose to lie instead of saying truth.
I sat on the stairs of the temple and started weeping silently, people say the one who doesn't have anyone always have the grace of God, then I'm the abandoned soul, can't this God show some mercy on me?
Today, until this God answers to me, I will not leave this place.
◇NO POV◇
Kylie is depressed after hearing the words of high priest, she doesn't have any words to speak, neither she left the place nor stopped crying because everything seems to be an illusion, but all she knew is she got fooled by the people whom she trusted.
Watching her pitiful condition, even the high priest felt bad because in his lifetime he helped many people but now unable to help a little girl who is so eager to transform.
Meanwhile,
In Lutheran house,
After hearing the Robin's words, "what if she gets to know the truth?" Both Mr. Jeremy and Mrs. Noris were stunned.
Mr. Jeremy interrupted, "it's not too late to speak with her, just let's say the truth to her."
"What truth you're speaking about? Do you want me to say to her that she is not my real daughter, but an adopted daughter?" Mrs. Noris burst into tears.
"Whether adopted or real, truth never changes that we love her as our own" Robin argued.
"The trust must be known to her by now, so all she deserves is an apology and explanation" Mrs. Noris looked towards Mr. Jeremy with teary eyes.
Everyone remained silent, Mr. Jeremy said, "honey let's go to the temple and find her let's speak to her, no matter what we will try to explain her, so please don't worry dear, I believe that our daughter will understand us, let's try until last to convince her" Mrs. Noris nodded her head.
"Robin, you stay at home if in case princess might return home, your mom and I will go to the temple to search little princess." Robin agreed with his dad.
Mr. Jeremy and Mrs. Noris went near the temple and found their daughter in such a state which no parents want to see their children.
She is looking lifeless and soulless, taking small steps towards her, Mrs. Noris mumbled "little princess."
"Why, why you people are here? Isn't it fun to you people watching me in helpless situation all the time? Isn't it the reason you tried to hide the truth?" Her words literally stumbled, Mrs. Noris and Mr. Jeremy.
