Today, Friks resumed his delayed training. King Eyharzt returned to the palace of Aeros with Dreinity and all his guards. In a month's time, after his training with Ramala the Great Oracle is complete, Friks will practice becoming a knight under the guidance of his Uncle Miilo. At that time, Friks will be able to follow Dreinity to the Royal Palace of Aeros.
"Friks, can I ask you something?" asked Ramala, who was leaning against a tree trunk.
Friks nodded, "Of course, what do you want to ask?"
"Yesterday, when Dreinity Princess of Aeros came. I saw that you looked very happy and your eyes were shining when you looked at the princess. Do you like Dreinity, Friks?"
Friks cheeks flushed and he nodded shyly.
"Yes, I like Dreinity. Even back on Earth, when we went to the same school, I expressed my love and affection for her several times. But she always rejected me." Friks explained.
"Do you know why Dreinity rejected you on Earth?"
"Probably because I was a stupid and careless child. You see, back on Earth, Dreinity was closer to Deyva."
"Who is Deyva?"
"He is also a friend of ours, in a different class than me and Dreinity. But he was a popular teenager. He's good at sports, especially basketball, and he's also very smart, always winning on every exam that his class and our school made. Maybe it's because of all the advantages Deyva has that Dreinity likes him much more than me.
"You are an honest boy, Friks. You know, love will always find its way. Sometimes today everything seems uncertain, but tomorrow or the day after tomorrow you will find a way to get the love of a girl. Maybe even the love of Dreinity Princess of Aeros can be yours. Now you know that you are not an ordinary teenager, but a Knight of the Star Clan. The Star Archer Knight! Then you can conquer the heart of every girl!"
Friks looked at Ramala intently.
"I don't know, I think I should put my personal problems aside for now. I am, you know Ramala, I feel like I have a very heavy burden on my shoulders right now. In an instant, my ordinary, boring life has changed. And now I'm in Aeros as the 44th generation successor of the Star Archer Knight. Everyone hoped that I would find the Sternhyst and use its power to destroy the planetoid that was about to hit Aeros, thus preventing a catastrophe on both planets. Then I had to prepare for a battle and defeat Leburo, the Lord of all darkness and evil. I don't know if I can take on and complete all these tasks."
"Friks, everything you said is true, it's not easy to become the Star Archer. But I'm sure you will be able and capable of becoming a Knight of the Star Clan, just like your father! And remember, once you become a Knight, you will always be a Knight!" Ramala gave Friks advice and motivation.
"That last sentence is exactly what my mother said."
Ramala nodded.
"Yes, your mother and I have a relationship that I cannot explain right now. But believe in yourself, Friks. Believing in yourself will give you immense strength. Besides, that starbow you're carrying in your left hand is a vessel where you can connect with the spirit and power that the Star Archer used before. Who knows, you might even be able to find out what your father did and/or where he is right now.
Friks was stunned and looked at Ramala curiously.
"This starbow can do that? How can I use it for that? I mean, how can I use the Star Bow to track my father's whereabouts?" Friks asked.
"I don't know how, because only the user can activate the power of the Star Bow. What I can tell you is that you have to use your heart and your emotions. You have to communicate with the Star Bow you're wearing, and it becomes a part of you. You are the star bow and the star bow is you!"
Friks scratched the back of his head, Ramala's explanation was something he didn't understand at all, it was rather confusing. He looked down at the bow in his left hand.
"So I and this Star Bow should be one? I am this bow and this bow is me?"
Ramala nodded, "Exactly, that's the principle!"
"Then what about Sternhyst? How do I find out where it is?"
"It's the same principle, Friks, you have to ask the Star bow. At the right time, it will definitely tell you where the Sternhyst is. You follow the clues and guidelines that the Star bow gives you."
"How do I know if the stone I found is a Sternhyst or not? I have no idea what a Sternhyst looks like?" Friks asked again.
"Like I said, Friks. Use your heart and your feelings! The Star Arc will guide you to find the real Sternhyst, and then you can use that limitless power to destroy planetoids and fight Leburo. You can definitely do it! You will be able to erase the darkness and evil from Aeros and replace it with the light of truth!"
"This is a very difficult task for me!" Friks said with a sigh.
"But you are the only one who can do it. Well, Friks, I have something for you," Ramala said, throwing something at Friks.
Friks quickly caught something that Ramala threw at him.
"What is this?" asked Friks, who saw a fist-sized stone shaped like an egg, but black with blue veins.
"Put that stone in your starbow, Friks!" Ramala ordered.
Friks carried out Ramala's order and placed the black stone with blue veins, which looked exactly like an egg, on his starbow. Strangely enough, the stone immediately disappeared into the starbow Friks was wearing.
"Now Friks, make a fiery ball like you did yesterday. The target is that big rock over there!" Ramala pointed to a boulder that was probably about two or three hundred meters away from where they were standing.
"Isn't that too far?"
"Just do it!"
Friks nodded and sighed, placing the starbow in his left hand on his chest and extending his right hand forward. Friks concentrated and imagined a fiery ball shooting out of her right palm.
"Balseuneu!" Friks shouted, not even mentioning the incantation he could have done with the fiery ball. But Friks thought it would be more complete if he said the incantation as well.
'Whooos...!' a fiery ball of energy shot out of Friks' palm, strangely this time the fire was blue in color and shot quickly towards the boulder that was its target.
'Boom..!' A huge explosion occurred as the blue fiery ball hit the boulder and exploded.
"Oh my! That's really powerful. What exactly was that rock?" Friks asked Ramala.
"It was a dragon stone! I hope it can help you fight a strong enemy. Give you some options!"
Friks nodded as he looked back at the rock he had destroyed with his power.
