The humongous red burning bird has a wingspan of more than 50 meters but despite its fiery aura, Elric felt a healing warm all over his body. Being at the presence of this majestic looking bird brought him eternal warmth and peace. Elric felt like he was in a healing embrace of his mother.

The two red gems that serve as eyes of this majestic Phonex reflected Elric's faces. Staring at this magnificent eyes, Elric felt like no secret can ever hide from this being.

It was an eye, full of wisdom and knowledge.

The eye that can see through the future.

Communicating telepathically, the huge burning phoenix sounded like a warm and caring mother's voice.

"You have seen and experience too much little child." The warm voice of the Phoenix resounded inside Elric's mind. Hearing these words, Elric remembered everything that happened to him. The pain he went through and the agonizing feeling of losing his only family was indeed too much for him and he could not help but cry again.

It was tough, but he had learned to accept them as part of his destiny. And it was all thanks to the guiding voice from the light that time.

"Rest in my presence and I will explain everything to you." With these words, Elric's eyes forcefully closed and his body limped lifelessly as if his soul left his body.

The next instant, his vision wandered in blurry lights and revealed a familiar place in his memory.

There he was, in the kitchen of his home.

The familiar scene of facing his grandmother's back while cooking and hearing the long whistle seeping out of the boiling pot brought him a surge of complex emotion.

The morning light rays pa.s.sing through the windows made a warm and comforting scenery bringing Elric a relaxing sensation.

He could even smell the fresh air of the morning and see the faint smoke of burnt leaves from the outside.

"Is this a dream?" Elric muttered as he was about to hug his grandmother. Elric had a strong urge to stand and hug his grandma but after recollecting everything that happened, he knew that this is all just an illusion.

"No this is not a dream Elric. What you are seeing right now is the true desire of your heart."

Suddenly a beautiful young woman appeared out of nowhere sitting at the opposite table.

She wore a white simple dress reminiscent of a simple town girl but her hair glowed in bright deep red. Her red eyes were full of inexplicable wisdom and her red lips smiled with a mystifying curve.

This mysterious young woman is the Great Seer Mhata.

Confirming his doubts, Elric calmed himself down and decided to enjoy the scene instead. Hearing the boiling pot, the warm touch of the morning sun straight from the slightly open windows, the smell of the burnt leaves and the slow but enchanting hum of his grandma brought a slow but peaceful smile on his face.

Elric's mood and aura brightened. He has accepted his fate and reality. Everything might appear to be an illusion but this experience was like a dream come true to him. When was the last time he felt this way?

A clear and bright tear slowly crept out of his closed eyes. He immersed himself fully at the experience knowing that these too, shall pa.s.s.

After a while, his eyes have finally dried and he started to gradually open them.

Before him, he saw the mysterious woman smiling graciously before him with her hands propped up in her face like a little girl watching a beautiful movie.

Elric finally stood her intention and his heart was truly at ease now. He smiled gently and inhaled deeply before he started talking.

"Thank you for this experience Great Seer Mhata..." Elric's voice was stocked with gratefulness.

The mysterious woman kept her mystifying smile and started pouring herself a cup of tea.

With Elric's grandma managing the kitchen as a backdraft, Elric quietly observed as the reputable hands of Mhata moved gracefully. Her long lashes are beautifully bent that accentuated her elegant

and a bright face.

She poured a steaming hot tea for both of them and started talking.

"The reason I called you in our Elemental realm is mainly because of three purposes."

After filling the cup with hot teas, she pa.s.sed one towards Elric and continued.

"One is to save you from the furious revenge of the Dragons - and that is the past" She slowly raised her cup and sipped with utmost elegance.

Elric perceived the moment like a queen casually having a tea with her people before her.

Elric did not dare to talk at the moment and waited. After three more sips, Great Seer Mhata continued:

"The future is that you are bound for even more responsibility, and I want you to be prepared for what is to come."

Elric listened intently while keeping a calm composure. He barely has any idea with what the respectable being before him was talking about but he is keen to hear more for clues. On the other side, the elegant woman took her time sipping the tea and continued.

"As for the present, you must learn to control the Ancestral Dragon's power inside you." And with a long sip, she added. "That is if you choose to accept your future."

"My future?" Elric's brow curved in curiosity.

"What I am seeing are two possibilities depending on your next decision." Finally, her elegant eyes became serious as a glint of burning red fire appeared deep inside her gem-like eyes.

Suddenly Elric's surrounding contorted into another blurry line as he was devoured by this blinding light. It took a while before his surroundings changed and what he saw next, left him with unspeakable horror and fear.
