After a few days of resting Diana was feeling much better and was already moving around. On this day Fiona came and told her that master Henry was looking for her. Fiona led her to master Henry's courtyard.
Along the way Diana saw how beautiful and majestic the sanctuary was. When one thought of a sanctuary one would think of cottages and small buildings that can be deserted at an moment but this place was different.
It had majestic buildings, countless mansions, pavilions, towers of different professions. On the streets people were walking freely and happily doing their own business.
Diana had not left her room ever since she woke up. She was surprised to see the beautiful land and so many people. To the outside world those with special abilities were rumoured to be few in numbers.
What she was seeing now was totally different. There were so many people that she couldn't estimate a fixed number. After walking for about 20 minutes they arrived at a splendid mansion that was bigger than other mansions. They entered the mansion and were directly ushered to master Henry's receiving hall.
Master Henry smiled when he saw Fiona and Diana walk in. Diana and Fiona quickly greeted master Henry. He nodded his head asked them to sit across him on the large table.
Master Henry: "Diana, I'm finally relieved to see you well. I was deeply worried about you."
Diana: "master Henry thank you for your hospitality. I don't know what would have happened to me if you wouldn't have rescued me on time."
Master Henry: "no need to thank me. Your mother played a major role in finding you this time. She's one of the most powerful diviners in our sanctuary. Her gift in divination is always precise and powerful. She's the one who saw you in danger and informed me. We gathered a few trusted people to bring you back."
Diana silently looked at her mother. She didn't know of her mother's gift. Thanks to her she was alive and well. Diana felt guilty for how she had treated Fiona if she had listened to her she wouldn't have suffered so much.
Fiona knew that Diana felt guilty but there's nothing she could to to change the past. She hoped that Diana will overcome her guilt and focus on the future.
Master Henry: "Diana, I would like to know how David is able to tell that your still alive?"
Diana then recounted everything that happened ever since she got married to David. Master Henry listened carefully. When he learned of the three cloaked men he was momentarily disturbed but didn't interrupt. Obviously Fiona and Diana noticed this change but didn't question him.
After Diana finished explaining master Henry was silent for a long while then he looked at Diana with a serious look.
Master Henry then told them of what he knew of the three cloaked men. There were many other places with outside their realm. The place they were in was called the deserted realm. As the name stated this realm was only left with a small population compared to other realms.
Many powerful people left this realm because it was slowly declining. It didn't have enough resources, the origin qi and spiritual qi was scarce making those who had different constitutions and special abilities look for better environment.
Many of those who left found other places that were rich in origin and spiritual qi hence they returned and took their families with them. Those that remained were those with limited potential. Though this was the case their were some people who had some strength and they established themselves.
Those powers greedily took over the rich lands, took control over the resources and established most of the powerful kingdoms and academies.
Those that came back to take their families to the other realms, they talked of greater and vast realms with powerful people who could split the heavens with a wave of their hands. Of course many didn't believe such stories.
However they were different, according to the ancient texts left behind by their king, it was recorded of much more powerful beings and the possibility of higher realms. According to some of the texts he had read, there was a tribe of monks that lived in a secluded mountain in the celestial realm.
The celestial realm was a mid tier realm. This realm was of much higher state than the deserted realm which was a low tier realm. The difference between the low and mid tier realm was like heaven and earth.
The monks were in a tribe called the God race tribe. They believed in protecting the life of every creature hence anyone who joins them had to swear a blood oath to never harm innocent lives. Incase of war this oath is not valid but if they kill under any other circumstances, the blood oath will made will take effect immediately.
The God race tribe was known in many realms because of their virtues and their form beliefs in protecting lives of the innocent. Master Henry had learnt of them through his travels across other realms, so he was surprised that they were the ones who wanted to harm Diana.
