Agartha - Quest for the Legacy

As soon as she jumped, she fell onto a cart, and the cart zigzagged through the narrow road and reached the battlefield.

Everyone including her parents were stumped to see her. An eerie silence followed.

As soon as the cart reached the battlefield, it stopped in the middle and an invisible force threw Olympia onto the ground.

Olympia sat there with a dumbfounded look on her face too. Although she wanted to enter the battlefield, she never thought that she would make such a 'heroic' entry.

She looked at her parents and the dragon and phoenix clan members, and then sat upright, rubbed her backside and got up slowly from the ground, and then looked at everyone and immediately ran to her parents' side.

As soon as she ran, everyone came to their senses, and immediately wanted to pounce towards them, but an invisible barrier was protecting them.

"King?" The clan elders looked at Aiden and said through gritted teeth, "How could you?"

Aiden only smiled and said nothing. Demetria looked at her clan, the clan once she loved and swore to protect and said, "Do you really wish to take her?"

Aiden looked at his wife wondering whether she had lost her mind or not, but he knew better than uttering that, so, he stood there in silence. Demetria knew what her husband was thinking. She turned and glared at him but maintained her composure. She looked at the others with a haughty smile with traces of evilness, like a true queen does.

Her smile gave chills to her clan members. The elders were afraid seeing her not-so-gentle smile. They knew this smile so well. She smiled like this back then and it was a complete massacre. No one survived that ordeal.

But before the clan elder could utter something, a hot-blooded young chick went up to her bravely and said, "Yes, she belongs to us." He looked provocatively at the dragon clan and further uttered, "Once we take her heart out, we can use the ancient art of Inima Suflet Miez Binding. Kekekeke." His evil laughter echoed through the entire Bukid mountain.

The clan elder looked at the boy in utter horror, after he spoke the words that weren't supposed to be spoken.

"Forgive us, Queen. He is just a boy!" The clan elder bowed in front of him, but before he could say anything else, the youngling was completely burnt into ash, but before the ash could rise into the air, Demetria engulfed the ash with her flames and swallowed them.

The Phoenix Clan Elder stood there with his head bowed in silence. He sneaked a peek at the Dragon Clan members and saw that they did not take a look at them. Since the situation came to this, the Phoenix Clan Elder thought that it was the best time to expose the Ice-Dragon Clan. After all they have done, they ought to suffer the wrath of the queen.

With these thoughts in mind, he looked at the Queen, hoping to see her expectant eyes, but instead all he saw was the blank look directed towards him.

"Queen, please listen to me…" Before he could utter another word, a shard of ice pierced his chest, and he fell down on his knees and breathed his last. A clan Elder was killed just like that. The Phoenix clan saw who did it, and was in uproar. They wanted to get revenge, but revenge was easier said than done. Seeing their clan elder killed with one single shard of ice, no one dared to step forward. They looked at the culprit and then towards their Queen hoping that she would punish those responsible for the death of their clan elder.

All the saw was the calm eyes of their Queen. Not a single ripple of emotions could be seen.

"Tsk, such a weak bird." A deep male voice said, and then rose to the sky. Flapping his wings, he looked towards Olympia and said, "Come with me, Sweet Girl. I can give you what others can't. I can give you this world. I can make you the ruler of the entire universe. You will rule heaven, earth and hell. You will be unstoppable. Once you come with me, no one can beat you. You will receive Eternal Glory. Come." In the end, his voice sounded almost like a lullaby.

Olympia felt someone beckoning her soul, and she couldn't resist it, but she knew that once her soul separates from her body, she would never be able to receive her power. Feeling the resistance from her, the voice said, "It is useless to resist. You will be captured and you will be mine." An evil laughter echoed in her mind, and she tried very hard to resist it from ringing in her ears and mind, but couldn't.

Seeing her persistence, a force welled up inside her and burst forth. After reaching the sky, it went aflame and burst into smithereens. It took the form of a majestic flame bird and screeched so loudly that everyone had to cover their ears. The dazzling sight almost blinded them. Their jaws dropped in awe. Never in their life did they see such a phoenix. Even their ancestors weren't so beautiful as the one flying in the sky.

As it opened its mouth to breathe fire, an ice dragon emerged and wrapped the phoenix in its wings. It let out a huge roar, and the entire mountain shook with it. The blue and red eyes were completely identical to the ones that Olympia had.

There were doubts in Olympia's mind regarding the identities of the pair, but before she could articulate them, she found someone whispering, "That is the ancient dragon king and phoenix queen. How could they be inside her?"

She wanted to know the answer to the question herself but as she looked at those two figures, she found them oddly familiar. Their breaths were almost similar to her parents. She looked at them inquiringly.
