Grayson, Sloan, Rose, Aeron, Zoe, and Ashamoke all come out of a portal that opens in Dell Sterum. It closes moments after they all exit it. They first began to walk around Dell Sterum, glancing at the dust that clustered up together over the year. Grayson walks around slowly, remembering how his life was before he fled to Earth. He then realizes.
"Guys," he calls, "where are Hasan and Jessica?" They all say that they don't know. "Then where the hell did their portal open?" Ashamoke wonders.
Hasan lays in Jessica's bed with his eyes closed, playing music through earbuds. Jessica sits on the floor with her eyes closed, meditating. She opens her eyes and stands momentarily. She walks over to Hasan and taps his shoulder. He opens his eyes.
"Hasan, what is that in your ears?" She asks. "Something Grayson gave me. He called it head... head something... I forgot. But he put these 'playlists' on my phone. And they're totally amazing." He expresses. "What's a playlist?" She asks another question. "I'm not fully sure, but it's filled with songs from Earth." He shows her.
"But Jessica, are you ready to get this started?" Hasan asks her. "Yes, with our planet's vast natural energy, my magic restores faster. We just need to find out where Veda is." She responds. "If I remember correctly, Sypho should live in a city in Magicae. A city called Kipo. He will know where to find Veda." He elaborates. "Then that's where we're going."
"Well, finding a 'solution' to the parliament is easier said than done," Says Mai. "Why would that be?" Asks Henry. "Well, maybe you don't know but, the parliament is one of the branches of the Magicae government," Mallock answers. "I thought this kingdom's government was the monarch..." Henry says dumbfounded.
"The monarch is one of the three branches. Our government is the delegation council that could have up to 12 members, the parliament with three representatives, and of course the king and queen. Or the king and king in this case," Mallock elaborates.
"Precisely. That's why we can't just remove them from their position." Says Eris. "But, we can," Jesse begins, "I am next in line to become a member of the parliament, and so is Deros. We just need a reason to remove them." After a moment, they all nodded and agreed.
Delia chuckled. "Well, we have a reason already." The council looks at her in wonder at what she means. "My father has tried so hard not to let me and Deros find out about... the gate." She says. "A gate to what?" Asked Mable. "Well, it's more of a gate-seal. From my knowledge, it is a gate seal or cell holding six dark entities. They're on a level rivaling the Igetes. If not, they're even stronger," She elaborates.
"What makes you think they're on the Igetes' level?" Melkin asks. Delia squints her eyes. "Didn't wanna mention this but, Kirolorria is related to the beings in that gate. And if I remember correctly, he rivaled our very own Faerie Igete, King Eris." She explained.
"How did something like that even get in the kingdom?!" Henry exclaimed. Delia sighs. "I believe it was left by the indigenous people of the planet, the Primis," she says and Eris' eyes widen. He blinks and begins to lose vision. He falls onto the floor, unconscious.
Eris sees a dark temple, hidden underground. He then sees ancient carvings that seem to tell a story. At the end of the temple, is a tree. The tree whispers, and whispers.
Eris regains consciousness shoots up and sees the council is surrounded around him.
"Are you okay?" Asks Henry. Before saying anything, Eris snaps his fingers of his left hand. In a white flash, they disappear from the council room.
Jessica flies down to the surface of Kipo, carrying Hasan by holding him from under his shoulders. They land.
"Wow, Kipo is a bigger city than I thought. It's gonna be harder to find Sypho." Hasan began to speculate while looking at the city and its people. "Of course, Kipo is a big city. Its land was gifted to the Kipo Clan by the monarch centuries ago. But for the hard part, you can fix it can you?" Jessica smiles. "What do you mean?" Hasan responds. Jessica blinks uncontrollably. "You're the prince of one of the Ten Great Fae Realms! You can do a locator spell." She suggests. "Right, son of the King of Giants." He says putting on a fake smile.
He bends down and places his hand on the ground. "Locater golem," he whispers and a small earth golem rises from the ground. It crawls on Hasan's left shoulder as he stands. The golem's hallow eyes glowed moments after and it crawled down Hasan's back. It begins to walk and Jessica and Hasan follow it.
In a white flash, the council appears in front of a temple that seems to be underground. "This is a temple hidden in the underground maze of the castle. It leads to the Sacred Tree," Eris elaborates. "What do we need from here?" Mallock queries. Eris stands. "You need to learn more about the Primis and why they left those beings."
Eris walks to the temple and the council follows him. When they walk inside, on the left there are ancient illustrative carvings and words in a different language at the bottom of it. "It's Fae," Eris begins, thirteen thousand years ago, the settlers of Magia Terra faced a conflict, that was certainly not new to them. The devils destroyed and passed their home planet Primisia and found the Primisi again. The Supreme Chief of the Primis had visions that the Primis' civilization would end with that battle. He knew his entire civilization would be destroyed, but he still found a way to stop the destruction of the devils. He called on all chiefs and the embodiments that claim Magia Terra and they trapped the devils in a powerful seal.
But moments after, another devil appeared in search of the other devils. He ended the rest of the Primis until he found the gate that sealed them. There stood one of the last Primisians, guarding the gate. The Supreme Chief called on the last bits of his power to capture the devil. But instead of sealing him in the gate seal with the others, he sealed him in the underworld dimension of Magia Terra.
Completely weakened, the chief crawled towards where his home was, but he knew he wouldn't make it. Before he took his last breath, he prayed to Spiral so that he could watch over the seals of the devils. The embodiments that helped them were gone. They vanished after the battle against the devils. When the Supreme Chief died, his skin turned green, and within one thousand year's time, he turned into a tall tree, the Sacred Tree" Eris translates and as they reach the end of the temple it's a dark opening to another section. "This is the fall of the Primis," Eris concluded.
The words carved in Fae and the pictures began to glow green and blue. A light from the opening at the end of the temple then rayed at the council. They walk closer to the bright light and they take a big step down onto the grass. In front of them lies a tree with colorful branches, a mix of blue and green. A pale man with black horns and snow-white hair came out of the tree. He walks over to the council and stops, "I am the Sacred Tree."
Zoe, Ashamoke, Aeron, Rose, Grayson, and Sloan, walk down a huge corridor. The doors are guarded by two nymphs and they are ready to attack. "Taesey! Halt!" One of the guards yells. The knights walk closer and the guards immediately bow down as they see Zoe.
"Teasay comrea pulavince," the guard says. Zoe chuckles. "Stand, it's fine. Where is my mother?" She asks. One of the guards responds to her still speaking Nymphean. "The Elders? J- just take us to her." She says, worriedly.
The knights follow the two guards towards Slyvie's chambers. Deliandre is guarding the door. "Princess Zoe! You're back," he says relieved. She hugs him for a moment then pulls away. "The guards said something happened to my mother." Before Deliandre could explain, Slyvie's door opened by the hand of an old male nymph. The nymph looks at the guards and nods, they walk away.
"Princess Zoe, you have finally returned to Astellan," the man begins, "the Queen must only be seen by you, Princess. I'm afraid to tell you that Queen Sylvie has fallen ill and only has seven days left to live."
