The Kingdom of Scharlwarltz, Fountain of Clairvoyance, Back of the Throne Room, Yggdrasil Year 1629, Month 8, Day 10
Luciana has commissioned Shina to construct the Fountain of Clairvoyance under the Oversee Pond project. When Shina learns the advanced magic of Clairvoyance, Luciana can see books related to it as she was sleeping on the Forbidden section of the Palace Library months after Dawn was born.
Over four years, she managed to master it and began her application to her crystal ball. Later, seeing potential as Luciana wishes to reduce the number of scouts and unveil the mask behind each country, Luciana wants Shina to construct the Fountain of Clairvoyance. The project was started a year ago, and now the Fountain of Clairvoyance is ready for operation.
"How's my daughter doing, Shina?"
"She's struggling a lot, Your Majesty."
"Save the formalities. You always want to make a distance from me."
"But…"
"Shina. How many times have I to remind you that I wouldn't turn it into something that you don't like?"
"Y-yes, Luciana."
"Better."
Looking at the pool, Shina placed eight crystal balls surrounding the fountain. Once everything is in place, she chants a spell. "I command thee to share this command to those who I choose to share the vision together." As the fountain glows, some magical power seeps into Luciana's body. She can look at herself as her body is glowing in a white aura
"So this is the power of the Fortune Teller? Interesting."
"Only use it as you see fit. I have to look after Princess first before I go down to take part in the blessings."
"You're going to Arminia?"
"Goddess Uror gave me the oracle. But, I would go down months later."
"I see. I do some test runs first. I would call you before you went down when I got issues."
As Shina leaves, Luciana thinks of something. Ever since Dawn began training her power a year ago, there were at least three incidents where her magic power went out of control. Fortunately, since Luciana had already ordered Marietta Daitenshi and Randgris Flauvel to strengthen the barrier around the Training Ground, the damage was kept to a minimum.
"Maybe I should bring her to the church as well later."
Kingdom of Arminia, Capital Armenia, Reynes' Fifth Birthday, Yggdrasil Year 1629, Month 10, Day 15
Kurt, Yuki, Klendiana, and Reynes went to the capital. They take a rest for a night before heading straight to the church to receive Reynes' blessing and Yggdrasil's oracle. But, the sight they would never expect is to have a lot of Priests and Bishops surrounding someone.
"What's the matter?"
"It looks like someone is making a ruckus on the church."
Stopping the carriage, they went out of the carriage only to find a familiar face.
"M-Madam Prophet!?"
"You're here."
"What brings you here?"
"The Goddess of Fate gave me the oracle to come here on his fifth birthday."
Moments later, the King also arrives with his son, Striden, and his daughter, Aurelia. Kurt notices that Eliot is not with them.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Where's His Highness?"
"He's… occupied with lessons from the lecturer."
"Alright, then. Let's head inside."
Heading towards the Prayer chamber for the Nobles as they did two years ago, this year, somehow was different from the last time they visited. Reynes looks at Kurt as he looks around, noticing some changes.
"Father, is something wrong?"
"It's nothing. Let's go."
Reaching the altar, it would seem the design was also changed from the last time they visited two years ago.
"Archbishop. What's the meaning of this?"
"A week ago, I… received an oracle. The oracle is two gemstones, high-purity, high-quality, and also all elements must present. Earth, Fire, Ice, Plant, Water, Lightning, Wind, Gravity, Light, and Dark. Each gemstone must be facing to the altar."
"Who gave you the oracle?"
"The God of Prosperity, Rex."
"I understand. Let us answer their calls."
As they began to pray in front of the altar, they could feel their soul being pulled by the unknown into God's Realm. Those at God's Realm are Reynes, Klendiana, Striden, Aurelia, Kurt, Yuki, Eudes, and Shina when they open their eyes.
"Greetings, children of Sevis, children of Eluna, children of Arminia, and Apostles of Uror."
They saw Goddess Yggdrasil and other Gods and Goddesses when they looked up. They've never seen the Gods and Goddesses together in one place. Yggdrasil began to deliver her oracle as other Gods and Goddesses remained as a witness.
"I have called all of you to deliver the oracle. For the children of Sevis, I would provide you with the abilities, equipment, and skills to handle our present that would aid in your journey and your life. The children of Eluna, on behalf of Goddess of Moon, Eluna, I offer my deepest apologies for your inconvenience. However, one day they shall go on a journey to find you, for the sake of their homeland."
"Then, that means…."
"However, they shall have to atone for their sins. Only when they do, you would be allowed to return to their homeland to deal with the matters."
"Y-yes, Your Grace."
"Children of Arminia. This oracle I give would not pass only for your sovereignty but also for those who worship me as your Goddess of Life and Creation. There would be a massive of movements that could lead to unrest. One person would determine the fate of this world, as those who heard this oracle would begin to claim as they were the ones who would decide the fate of this world."
"I understand, Your Grace."
"Now, I shall give you a necessary blessing to prepare for that day. I have some matters to attend with the Apostle of Uror and the Children of Sevis and Eluna."
"Yes, Your Grace. We will take our leave."
As soon as Eudes, Striden, and Aurelia receive the blessings, they leave God's Realm. Now, what was left was Shina, Kurt, Yuki, Reynes, and Klendiana.
"Children of Sevis, including you, Children of Eluna, and Apostle of Uror. Know that your journey will be a harsh one. What I would do in the future would stir the entire world as they would begin to reveal its true nature."
"Forgive me, Your Grace. Is it related to the seven years of the prophecy that I could not read?"
"Yes. I would think that she can give you some explanation about this."
Goddess Uror steps forward, looking at Shina. "Rise up, my apprentice."
Shina stood up, looking at her. Like other Goddesses, she wears two white fabrics covering her chest and waist to half of her legs. Uror, the goddess with long blue hair and plain white eyes, gazed at her, as Shina saw as she was staring at the top of the universe.
"In those years, a certain people that the Goddess of Yggdrasil chose would assist someone in weaving the fate of this world. It is you who would decide who you would want to follow during that time. I'm grateful that I took you as my apprentice. As such, continue to learn everything about Clairvoyance, to ensure that you would be able to break this barrier of unforeseen years.
Your prophecy regarding the Kingdom of Aldenbourne is on the right track. One person would decide the fate of that Kingdom."
Shina remembers the prophecy that she made five years ago in two ways: one would lead Aldenbourne into a brief crisis but succeed in gaining prosperity, and one would lead to the tragedy where there would be more bloodshed.
"Though you shall remember the words of Lexington, as the future could change at any moment. I shall grant you more blessing from the other Gods and Goddesses, as you would need it to survive this world."
"Thank you, Your Grace."
As Uror gives Shina a blessing, it's time for Yggdrasil to speak.
"Children of Sevis. I shall grant you a blessing to prevent others from looking at your status unless it is necessary on your journey. Know that they shall know you not through your status, but through achievement you gain on the journey, as our Supreme God dictates when I bestow this blessing upon you. For both of these children, I shall grant you the ability to write a record without books, and when you wish to review your journey, you were able to summon it. This would be passed down to your descendants, as the Supreme God of Sevis was pleased to see the records of the Lexington Family. There would be more blessings in the future, as we would put our faith in your hands."
Yggdrasil and the other Gods and Goddesses gave them their blessing. Once the blessing is complete, the Gods transport them back to the prayer room. The gemstone has lost its shine inside the chamber as the deity absorbed it.
After the meeting, they went to the castle for discussion.
Arminia Royal Palace
"I could wonder why so far my intuition is on the mark."
King Eudes looks at Reynes and Klendiana, as he sees those two as a bud that can be grown into a fine tree if nurtured appropriately.
"*sigh* One problem after another. Eliot has a hard time studying, as somehow he can't match Striden's progress in studying."
"How so?"
Eudes answers Kurt's question, "I've been giving the same curriculum that Striden has learned so far. But, somehow, he only wishes to become the next heir when I ask about his ambition. I could expect that there were some nobles who were trying to stir up some rebellion when I'm passed away by using Eliot as their puppet. Although it was unannounced, I've already planned to have Striden as the next King, and Aurelia would be the Queen until Striden is married."
"Why don't Your Majesty try to quell their rebellion as soon as possible?"
"No. They have a strong influence around this Kingdom, and I also find it difficult to suppress their rebellion. However, I've already taken precautions for this."
"I see."
"Klendiana Lexington and Reynes Lexington. Under my decree and my will when I'm deceased, I would not grant you any peerage until you complete your journey. Know this, Striden and Aurelia. I started to realize the value of the Lexington Family because of the knowledge obtained during their journey. Learn from them, study with them, and conduct journey when necessary."
"We understand, Your Majesty."
Although both Klendiana and Reynes were very young, they've already shown some maturity. They knew well the responsibility of the Lexington Family, and knowledge is always around the corner.
Once there is no more discussion, Kurt takes his family back to Shills.
