In his dream, the Chi ruler witnessed a flourishing kingdom, but fate took a dark turn when a girl was born into Chi's family, leading to the tragic demise of the Black Rose. The very instant the black rose turned to ashes, all the magical beasts in the realm began to perish abruptly.
As she matured, she ascended to power, and chaos ensued among the magical beasts, staining the world in blood. The girl's crown was fashioned from this very blood, symbolizing her rule.Upon awakening, he recounted his dream to the leaders of the Magical Beasts, prompting the Magical White Wolves to stand sentinel at the Black Rose's cave.Henceforth, the girl was christened Black Princess Chi, after the name of the fallen Black Rose, and whispers of a curse surrounded her name.Ever since the prophecy of the cursed girl's impending birth, the Chi family lived in constant dread. They had planned to hand her over to the Magical Beasts immediately upon her arrival. However, as time passed, the ominous event did not unfold.Over centuries, the tale of Black Princess Chi transformed into a legend. In an era when the Chi family's once-potent magical powers were mere remnants of their former glory, and numerous magical beasts had succumbed to darkness, a new hope emerged. A girl was born, the sole surviving descendant of the Chi lineage, her parents the last remnants of their ancient family tree.Upon her birth, her parents named her Mia. On the very day she came into the world, the Magical Wolves guarding the Black Rose reported its mysterious disappearance, causing deep concern among her parents. The ancient decree dictated that the cursed princess must be handed over to the Magical Beasts.However, upon meeting Mia, the reality diverged from the tale. Contrary to the story's portrayal of her great beauty with black hair reminiscent of the Black Rose and eyes as brown as the muddy land where the Rose grew, Mia's hair was a golden hue, and her eyes shone blue.Puzzled, they considered the possibility of other surviving Chi family members and chose to release the little girl. Determined to unravel the mystery, they embarked on a quest to find the true heir of the Chi lineage.Initially, her parents rejoiced as Mia was their only heir. With time, her beauty began to blossom; her once-golden hair gradually darkened, mirroring the shade of the legendary Black Rose. Her eyes, too, transformed into the muddy brown hue as foretold in the tale.However, their joy was short-lived. When Mia was three, twin siblings arrived, altering the family dynamics. She started resembling the cursed princess described in the ancient legend. Her parents' happiness turned to disdain, as they now had two other heirs, making Mia seem unnecessary.By the age of five, Mia had transformed into the spitting image of the cursed princess from the legend, leaving no doubt about her lineage.Accompanied by her father, Mia was brought before the Magical Beasts. Upon seeing her, they were captivated by her innocence and beauty.However, overwhelmed by the presence of the mighty creatures, Mia became frightened. As the gaze of all the Magical Beasts fell upon her, she burst into tears. The leaders of the Magical Beasts, concerned for her well-being, attempted to comfort her, but her fear persisted, leaving them puzzled and concerned.In an effort to cheer her up, they guided Mia to the Magical Island's Garden, hoping the sight of flowers and butterflies would bring her joy.Upon spotting a butterfly, Mia chased after it, momentarily forgetting her tears. Exhausted, she eventually rested beneath a tree, still unsuccessful in catching the elusive insect.To her surprise, the leader of the Magical Griffins approached, offering her a butterfly perched on his hand. Tentatively, she reached out to touch it. However, upon realizing the formidable figure before her, she quickly retreated behind the tree. The Dragon leader chuckled, saying, "You seem to frighten her. Allow me to handle the butterfly for her."Undeterred, the Dragon leader approached with the butterfly, but Mia continued to shy away, eluding their attempts to comfort her.Gathering under the tree, they gently inquired about her fear, but Mia remained silent. Suddenly, her familiar, Hao, made an appearance. The Magical Beasts, mistaking Hao for a potential threat, quickly assumed defensive positions, warily watching his every move."Hey, calm down. I am her familiar. Can't you sense her aura on me?" Hao, the little familiar, attempted to explain himself.The Magical Phoenix leader inquired, "If you are her familiar, then tell us why is she hiding from us."Hao chuckled, "It's because she is a child who is encountering fierce beasts like you for the first time. She believes you might eat her, just like in those human stories."The jaws of all the Magical Beasts dropped in surprise upon hearing this revelation. However, their initial tension dissolved into laughter, understanding the innocence behind Mia's fear."Oh, come on, we won't eat you," they reassured her in unison.Despite their reassurances, Mia hesitated. Hao approached her, urging, "Why don't you feel their aura? You'll know if they will harm you."Reluctantly, she stepped out from behind the tree and looked at Hao. "But what if they eat me when I am close to them?"Hao, growing exasperated, retorted, "Oh my goodness, why don't you understand? They won't eat you. But if you keep behaving like this, I will eat you."She laughed, teasing him, "But you only eat chocolate, fat dog.""Hey, I am not a dog but a great familiar and you're the one who's fat, not me."Their playful banter continued for a while, until Mia, with newfound confidence, approached each of the beasts and gently touched their faces. At first, they were surprised, but soon they realized that she was using magic, allowing them to read each other's thoughts. The magical connection bridged the gap of understanding between them.With time, Mia grew comfortable around the Magical Beasts, her initial fear fading away.However, the Magical Beasts faced a dilemma. They needed to decide Mia's fate: if they kept her alive, she might pose a danger to the world, yet if she proved not to be evil and they killed her, they would regret it deeply for the rest of their lives, haunted by the memory of taking the life of such an innocent child.After much deliberation, they finally arrived at a decision."Lin, after finding out about my condition did you give me your blood?", I asked him.But he remained silent.I went towards the door with all my anger filled inside me.Lin came behind me and grabbed my hand, "Mia, where are you going?""It is none of your business. Let go of my hand", I told him without turning back.He came and stood in front of me, "Mi Mi, I can't let you go until you recover.""Why did you give me your blood when I had already told you not to?", I screamed out those words without thinking.Lin grabbed both of my hands, "I am sorry Mi but I would never leave you dying until and unless I am not dead myself. Whenever you are in danger I won't step back. I won't listen to you while protecting you. This time it was just a few drops of blood but if one day it is my whole life, even then I won't hesitate or step back." I felt him step closer to me and then he stopped when a few inches of distance were left,"Mi, I had lost you once but I can't afford to lose you again.
I withdrew from the hug and looked at his shocked face. There was moisture appearing in his eyes. This time he hugged me.I was breathless because of the sudden hug. He hugged me tightly but didn't say a word. I waited for him to talk. After a while, I felt his hot tears on my shoulder. I don't know why but I wanted to calm him. Without another thought, I touched his head.With my other hand I began to tap his back, "Li Li, don't cry, please. I think I shouldn't have told you about my memory coming back. It had made you sad."He sniffed and then withdrew from the hug, "Mi Mi, you don't know how long I had waited for this moment. It is not that I am sad. It's just that I am too happy and tired. I am tired of waiting and hiding my emotions all this time."I couldn't help but wiped out his tears, "I am sorry."Lin looked at me and grabbed my hands, "Mia, after Mom's death I wanted to die. It was you who brought hope to my life. Those five years with you were like five centuries. Althoug
Mia's POVI found myself in a familiar environment. I thought that I might be inside the stone realm and looked around but then realized that it was the dream that had haunted me for years.This time everything seemed different because stead of my childhood self, I the older me is inside this dream.I began to walk in the green field. Suddenly, it began to rain heavily. I went to a nearby tree to take shelter."*sob* Mom*sob*", I heard someone sobbing.I went to look around and then saw a boy sitting beneath a nearby tree. His face was hidden in his arms but I felt familiar with him. I stepped towards him.Then a girl appeared. "Huh... That's me..." That was the younger me, I saw in my previous dreams. She went close to him and sat close to him.The younger me calmed him down and put a bandage on his wound. The boy soon stopped crying. They both introduced themselves to each other.The boy told me his name was Li while the younger me told her name was Mi."Wait a second, isn't it wha
I sighed in relief and turned around to the bookshelf, "I must be fast."I approached the books and began to read the text on them."Let me help you a bit", the bird told me and then flew close to the books. "Among these books, there is a book named Heart of Crystals. Find that book, it will guide you."" Thanks for telling me that but it would be great if you had told me about how to solve these puzzles", I told it and continued solving the puzzle."Humph... Ungrateful. You should be thankful that I told you the name. Now I won't help you anymore", it flew to the table near the bookshelf.I think I had angered it.I scratched my head in confusion, "What is this? I can't understand it at all?"I touched one of the books and began to focus on it. There was a mixture of scripts written there. It was like, 1325 Huã For Xiūxi."Wait a second...", an idea clicked in my mind."If we take the name in English then 1 is for A, 3 for C, 2 for B, and 5 for E. Then it becomes ACBE but it is not a
Mia got up from the ground with blood flowing out of the wound on her forehead and rushed toward the spirits. One after another she killed many of them."Mia, don't push yourself hard. Stop it", Hao who was inside the shield protecting the stone shouted.She ignored him and kept fighting. The spirits were still in a great amount. A giant spirit came and hit her. She fell to the ground and threw up blood."Ahhh... ", she was in pain.All the spirits rushed towards her and she was covered by them. She tried her best to escape them but was heavily injured.She growled in anger and pain, "Now, you left no other choice."Rays of light came out from the group of spirits that had surrounded Mia and they all fell apart. There was a huge beam of light and when the light disappeared Mia was in the air. Wearing Red armor, her hair was tied up in a ponytail and different elements were flowing around her."Miaaaa... Why must you harm yourself...", Hao screamed.The spirits slowly got up and were a
I stared at her in surprise, "Then do you mean I am the real one?"There was a sad expression on her face, "Hmmm, you are the one. Because of me, the situation had become worse and now I don't want to repeat the same mistake. Yes, it is you, Mia's true mate and the one who will aid her to end her curse."Happiness rushed inside me at her words. When I looked at mom something was bothering me. She smiled at me but there was sadness in her smile.I grabbed her hands, "Mom, why do I feel that you are sad at the fact of me being her mate?"She looked at me with fear in her eyes that I could not understand, "I am not sad because you are her mate. I am just regretting the decision that I made.""Mom, what decision?", I asked her confused."Lin, If I hadn't hidden your mark years ago then the situation would be much better. Just because of that selfish decision of mine not only you but little Mia is suffering a lot. Even though I am guiding her but still I can't help her to live happily", te
