"What? Really, sister this is not a funny matter?" her brother asked. All the members present were shocked as well.
"Do I look like I am joking?" she snorted.
Artag wanted to tease her saying yes, but nothing came out of his mouth. This matter is too unbelievable and shocking.
"On our journey we met him, to say precisely he followed us for some distance and wished us luck, looked at Sachi for a full minute before disappearing" she said.
*******************************************
After crossing the mountain, Lori came out riding Ice beauty with Queen sitting on her shoulder.
As they moved forward, they heard a bird's cry, and a shadow covered them completely so, they looked up. There they saw a large two headed golden bird flying above them. When Queen saw it, she replied back with a cry.
Sachi was amazed at the bird, it was beautiful. She did not have words to describe it's beauty. The aura and power it had was unimaginable. The pure and noble aura it's releasing was so soothing.
When Lori saw the two headed golden bird with it's long tails shining with multi colour light she was stunned. Because she knew what it was. She saw a picture of it in her family book. It was the legendary mythical bird their family founder encountered, The Berunda bird.
The bird was huge, it was very high in the sky but felt it was near. The two heads were looking at them. One of the head gave a cry like a greeting once again.
Both their mounts also replied back with a neigh and then the bird looked at Sachi for a full whole minute then screeched once again before disappearing.
The Berunda according to the family book by the founder is a two headed eagle with multicolored long tails on its back. A magical bird with unknown origin, it brings luck and power. It cannot be described with the beasts or birds on the planet. It is very mysterious, and no one knows where it is from or how old it is. Some people call it immortal bird. No one knows where it comes from or where it goes. But whoever sees it will have lifetime luck and reach a greater height.
While others say it warns of impending doom and struggles, they face.
"Do you three know about that bird?" asked Sachi looking at the Queen.
"Not much, I saw it while we were planning our strategy at the town, it followed us from there" replied Queen.
"What? You saw it and did not tell us?" Sachi was shocked and little angry.
"Sorry, but he informed not revel about him until he himself revels his presence" informed Queen a little pitifully.
"What is that bird?" she asked.
"It's called Berunda bird, our Dyna family's founder once saw it and described about it" the one who answered was Lori.
"Wow!" Sachi exclaimed. Then she turned towards queen and asked, "What did he say?"
Lori's ears perked up to listen carefully. "He wished us good luck on our new journey, and to tread it fearlessly" informed Queen.
"Berunda? Hmmm... I think I heard this name somewhere" thought Sachi.
"No one knows it's origin or how many of them are there?" Said Lori.
"I think it is a unique one and it is the only one in the universe" said Queen thinking.
"Are you sure? Enquired Lori.
"Nothing for Sure, but it came to me suddenly like a memory, maybe he planted that memory or is it from my bloodline I do not know" Queen replied back.
Both Sachi and Lori thought deeply about the bird.
****************************************
As Lori explained her encounter, the others were listening with dumbstruck expressions.
Suddenly there were hurried footsteps from the side, Sachi looked up and saw her grandfather walking hurriedly towards them from where the big tree was present. It was the same tree her uncle and mother were glancing at.
The old man was actually standing behind the tree and listening to everything.
"Lori, is it true? What you said about our protector?" Asked the old man as he approached them with hurried steps. Disbelief was clearly visible on his face.
"It's all true father" replied Lori seriously. She explained the bird's features.
The Old man looked at both his daughter and granddaughter seriously for full 5 minutes, and then laughed out loud stunning the crowd.
"Hahaha, my Dyna family is going to rise higher again and will bring glory" he shouted laughing. "Thank you, protector, for looking out."
"Thank you for showering your blessings on us" he shouted looking at the sky. "I thank the goddess of magic as well for looking on our family favorably" the old man became ecstatic.
"Oh, my sweet little girl come to your grandfather, let me see you clearly my precious gem" the old man went on praising Sachi.
"I think I understand where the genes come from, turning total 180 in matter of seconds. It runs in the family" thought Sachi. The oldman was very angry in the hall and now he is laughing merrily and asking her to come forward to take a good look.
Sachi walked towards the old man and bowed. The old general looked at her granddaughter from top to bottom and praised her. "You really have the Dyna blood in you hahaha... you will make us proud. What is your affinity?" he asked.
"Ice and Water" replied Sachi.
"Okay, good though both are from same element when used properly according to the situation it can turn the situation" he said. "I felt your aura in the hall, you really shocked me. Another genius is born from the Dyna family."
"Father, she's also from Poalm family" his daughter reminded.
The oldman just snorted at her comment but did not reply.
The old man looked the granddaughter like he found a rare gem.
"How dare a mere saint who has not even reached high stage covet our family's girl? He does not even have the qualifications to carry our Empress shoe, who is a heaven defying genius mage. She became a saint at the age of 28 and midlevel at 50 and high-level saint at 100 and now she is only one step away from Pseudo god level" he praised the empress.
When Sachi heard about the achievements of the current ruler she was amazed. She really was a genius she thought
"Father, your granddaughter may reach even greater heights that we cannot even imagine" said Lori smiling mysteriously.
"The same smile" Artag asked wrinkling his brows.
"Well, do not ask me too many things as it is not good to reveal them yet. Also, we need to keep the matter regarding the protector a secret; I do not want her to be in trouble as she is still young."
"You are right; we need to keep it a secret about the proctor's appearance" agreed the old general.
