The Travelers Guide

Chapter 4

My eyes were filled with tears...

As I saw a feather of Celestina near the altars lychgate. The keeper of light said Celestina passed away when I unconscious but I know he was lying.

I left my dorm to attend my Zauberer Class, I've wasted my whole time staring. My sanity was corrupted by the incident where did Celestina go?

Time sure is fast, I suddenly found myself sitting and looking at our Chronicle teacher (history class)

"Now go to your seats my dear listeners"

I prepared my monograph and tried to be attentive, my mind was still in a great shudder.

Celestina wouldn't leave me like that, we've been together for ages.

"Listen now, I'll discuss to you the story of The Great Phoenix"

One of my fellow guardians raised his hand, his mind seemed hungry for knowledge.

"Yes Farquax, what are your concerns?"

"Was it true that the Great Phoenix fall in love with the Great Guide?"

"Yes, it was true"

My fellow guardians started murmuring about the chronicle of The Great Phoenix and The Great Guardian.

Great Guardian? Could it be?

I immediately raised my hand to ask the question that's bothering my mind.

"Good Heavens you're awake now Pharsa"

The whole crowd laugh from what our lecturer said

"What are your concerns Pharsa?"

"What does The Great Guardian look like and what are her potentials?"

"Good question My Lady, The Great Guardian always wear a glamorous sapphire frock she's a shape shifter some says that she can see one's past and future even in God's"

My fellow Guardians were astonished from what they've heard, it seems that everyone knows her.

"Excuse me Dear Guardian"

" What are you concerns My Lady?"

"How did The Great Phoenix met The Great Guide?"

Our lecturer pause for a bit, I saw his expression shift. He slowly sat on his chair

" It was thousands of years ago when The Land of Suffering had a war and The Tremendous Keepers had to witness it. I am not allowed to tell this story but it's my job to fill in your curiosity"

Half of me wants him to stop but my ears are pierced by curiosity.

He left a sigh and started to walk slowly. He threw ashes in the bowl of chronicle and saw the day where it happened.

"The Great Guide was Immune to Love it wasn't a curse from the Gods, The Great Guardian didn't want to fall in love because it makes someone delicate"

"But love isn't weak"

One of my fellow Guardian exclaimed

"Yes, you're right but we can't force someone to change one's belief. The Great Phoenix didn't stop to court The Great Lady till one day she realized that she has fallen in love with the Phoenix"

"Did the Lady bear a child?"

"Yes, she did. But I'm afraid that their child didn't had the chance to live"

I raised my hand, my sanity was seeking answers from the riddle that socked in my mind.

"What may be your concerns Pharsa?"

"How can you say that the child didn't survive?"

I saw his expression change...

I was right

He's lying......

"After their marriage The Great Phoenix decided to leave The Palace and settle in the Owl City, but a tragedy Happened. The Prisoner of The Abyss had escape and devoured them"

The last sentence he said wasn't a lie...

"Dear Lecturer, what does the prisoner look like?"

"She wears a Cerulean frock and her eyes were filled with trapped souls of mortals"

Those phrases terrified us but one thing is on my mind, Half of his words were fictions, and The woman who devoured the tremendous keepers is the lady who visited me on my dream.
