Agartha - Quest for the Legacy

"That happened because I woke up, and possessed Deablo's body forcefully. That brat was very stubborn and didn't want me to take his form. But I took his form. So, he forcefully used his energy and Brad happened to have felt something."

"What should I do now?"

"You only have to circulate your energy, and he will be fine." 'Deablo' answered.

"Are you sure? Master's condition is pretty bad."

"He will survive. He needs to face difficulties."

"What do you mean?"

"Girl, you worry too much. You need to have faith in your master. He is the master of the only child of the Dragon King and the Phoenix Queen. He must fight his battles to prove himself. You can't help him all the time. Let him fight." The aged voice said with certainty.

"Master needs us. Deablo and me. Master won't be able to handle. He is weak. He never fought battles. What will happen to him if he goes there? I can't take the risk. I won't."

"Olympia, you have an admirable personality, but you need to understand one thing, and that is, it is his battle. Neither yours, nor Deablo's. You can stand by his side, provide him support, but can never fight his battle. He needs to be strong."

"Can I ask you something?"

"Where did the poison come from?"

"Don't you know it yourself?"

"But this is the modern society, unlike the ancient society. Why would that poison appear here?"

"You need to find the source to know. The deeper you go, the more will you gain." He said, shaking his head.

"I understand." Olympia nodded her head.

Olympia stood there for a while, thinking about the events thoroughly. She had seen enough of these things in her childhood, but her parents kept her safe. Thinking about her parents, a teardrop escaped her eyes.

"They are fine wherever they are." She heard him continue. "They are worried about you too. They miss you too. You will reunite with them one day."

The 'Deablo' flew and hovered in front of her. He slowly reached for her forehead and then placed a finger on the space between her eyebrows. She felt enormous power surging in her eyebrows and few memories rushed inside her brain. The power clashed with her own before successfully settling down inside her mind.

"What was that?" Olympia asked.

"Girl, I have to go now, I can't answer your question yet. Just remember to use it well. Just remember that with great power comes great responsibility." The voice faded away and Olympia stood there all alone. The echo of the voice could still be heard. "Just remember that with great power comes great responsibilities…" She shook her head to clear her thoughts. Few unwanted memories came with the power he gave, and she didn't want to go through them again.

"I have no strength to remember those again. Why did he give me the power I sealed in the back mountain? Why?" She clutched her forehead as she shouted in the void.

She slowly turned into her original form due to her fluctuating mood. She placed a seal on those memories and slumped onto the ground. The deathly pallor of her face was noticeable against her glowy skin. She was slowly turning. Scales covered her body before the beak protruded in place of her lips. Her thick mane of red hair turned and formed spikes on her back.

In place of her hands were her wings covered with dragon scales. Her long wings spread across the entire void. Halos of red and white danced across her. Her eyelashes elongated along with the eyes. In place of a beautiful woman stood a bird-like dragon, or a dragon-like bird. She was so beautiful and flawless that one would want to take another look at her.

She spread her wings and flew into the void, which looked boundless vast space in front of her. She flew in circles and circles. Her mood became less complicated. She felt elated after flying in circles for a long time. She calmed down, swooped below and landed on the ground.

She changed into the human form again, and went outside to the real world. "Master, are you okay?" She asked, worried.

"No. My forehead is bursting with pain." Brad answered, gritting his teeth. Olympia said, "Let me have a look." She gently caressed the space between his brows and slowly circulated her energy before pressing her thumb to his forehead. She chanted, "Spread" and the energy rushed inside Brad's forehead, making him go numb from extreme pain.

He couldn't understand what's going on. He could only feel a surge of energy within his body. The energy constantly coursed through his entire body forcing away the impurities, gaining control of his organs. Brad was afraid. He wanted Olympia to stop, but something within him told him that it was necessary.
