"They surely have decorated everything very well ! It looks so real. But they didn't have to do this much. It must have cost a lot …" Said Maiara while running around.
"It's not on the left side Heaven's Erudite ! It's on the right !" Shouted Theodore as he saw Maiara running towards left.
"Yeah , yeah I know !" Said Maiara and following his words turned right.
After a few minutes of run , with a full tired face , Theodore said looking towards a big golden door with carvings on it "We've reached , Heaven's Erudite."
"Finally !" Said Maiara with full excitement.
"It's so big …" Exclaimed Maiara as both the entrance soldiers opened the door for them.
She could see many people sitting on extravagant chairs. But the thing which caught her eye was a man sitting in the center with a golden crown on his head. He looked like a "King.
"It's you right , Liam ?" Maiara asked and started running forward towards the person in the center.
"Liam you didn't have to do these things ! You …" Before Maiara could say anything more , she was shocked to see an old man with blond hair and golden eyes in the center.
"You … You face is totally similar with 'King Orpheus of Mian Kingdom'. It's totally similar to the picture on the book 'The History of Mian Dynasty' !" Said Maiara pointing towards that man with blond hair.
"Ofcourse it's because I'm him." That blond haired guy smiled and said.
"What you mean to say is that you're 'King Orpheus' of Mian Dynasty ?" Asked Maiara looking towards him. He nodded.
"This can't be true. What kind of joke is this ?! How can you be 'King Orpheus' ?!" Said Maiara with a shocked face.
"Why ? Is there something wrong with me being the King ?" Instead of answering Maiara's question , Orpheus asked her a question.
"There's nothing wrong … But how can this be possible ?! It's 2021 and you're saying that you're the King …" Murmured Maiara with a confused look.
"Probably this will prove you that I'm the real King." Saying this Orpheus took out a "Golden Phoenix Necklace" from his neck.
Seeing this act , the whole room was filled with gossips.
"Who is this weird girl ?"
"According to the King , it's the Heaven's Erudite !"
"Heaven's Erudite ? Do people in Heaven wear these kind of weird clothes ?"
"God knows ! She truly is weird. Look how she accused our King !"
"This isn't an accusation ! It's a very big sin ! How dare she ask the King to prove her that he's the real one !"
"Yeah , she's a Witch !"
"Witch ? I think she is some kind of Monster who has used magic on our King."
"Look ! The King is taking something out from his neck !"
"It's the 'Legendary Phoenix Necklace' of Mian Dynasty."
"What ? Is what you're saying true ?"
"It really is !"
"I can't believe it ! My eyes are blessed to see it. I had never expected that I would be lucky enough to see it."
"Why do you say that ?"
"Don't you know ? It's a legend that whoever is blessed to even have a glance of this necklace , that person will live for a very long period of time !"
"Really ?"
"It's what people say so. Who knows whether it's true or not ?"
While all these gossips were going on , Maiara was busy with her own thoughts about the Golden Phoenix necklace in her hand which was given to her by King Orpheus.
"I can't believe this ! It really is the 'Legendary Golden Phoenix Necklace' of Mian Dynasty. It's exactly what was described in the book about 'Mian Dynasty'. There was no clear picture of it because no one had actually seen it. People had just assumed about how it looked. But the last ruler of Mian Dynasty , who was 'King Orpheus' himself , had described it as a golden necklace with a small phoenix in it's center surrounded by two beautiful golden real feathers. Some said that the feather always changed it's colour , while some said that there was no feather and so on many assumptions were made. But the thing which concerns me the most is this … this artifact is a real one ! According to the rumours , it was destroyed by 'King Orpheus' himself before dying in the last battle of Mian Dynasty. Then how can I see it ?! Am I watching a dream ?! If so , Maiara please wake up quickly !" Thinking about all these thoughts , Maiara pinched on one of her cheeks.
But nothing changed , everything was still the same. "It's … it's real !" She murmured in disbelief. She couldn't accept the truth. It was all an unreal but real thing thing for her.
Suddenly that Golden Phoenix necklace's feathers started glowing with a yellow golden light around them.
"What's … what's happening to it ? Why is it shining ?!" Said Maiara with a confused look.
