Chapter 289: The Great Star Gazer

Adrian and Levin Cloud arrived at the kingdom that is controlled the Ice Queen Elona. Despite the outside of the kingdom being in constant blizzard, the inside of the kingdom is only snowing with snowflakes. The inside of the kingdom is about the bearable level of cold.

"The temperature here at the kingdom is maintained by me. The blizzard outside is also our defensive mechanism that is used to shield our kingdom from the outside world." The Ice Queen Elona stated.

"Do the people not want to explore the outside world? I am pretty sure that there are some who have adventurous spirits." Levin Cloud asked as he started shivering.

It seems that Levin Cloud's physiological constitution does not do well in the cold. Adrian summoned Kanlaon in his human form in order to warm up Levin Cloud to some degree. Kanlaon's human form did not change but two orbs are now circling his body.

"It seems that you have made great use of the orb that I have given you. For your question young leshy, the outside world is not as welcoming of someone different from them. I am pretty sure that you have noticed this because the young demon has always used a disguised in the outside world." The Ice Queen Elona stated confidently.

"Since you are now one of the five races, you should know a transformation skill or a Glamour spell like me. It is quite difficult being hunted. Even the late Dryad Makiling had to hide from the world as they do not like someone different from them." Adrian stated as they followed the Ice Queen Elona to a place that is surrounded by a clear lake.

They were led to a structure that looks like an observatory on the middle of a clear blue lake. There are no bridges or any type of vehicle to help cross the lake. Before Adrian questioned, the Ice Queen Elona created a platform of ice beneath them and used that to carry the group towards the observatory.

The lake was clear and Adrian could feel that it seems enchanted in some way. Since Levin Cloud is now more attuned to nature, he could sense something in the lake that is pulsating with life.

"If you are curious about the lake then it is a special lake with healing waters. Legend has it that the Goddess of Life Gaea herself made this lake using her tears. If the forest guardian can feel the energy of life from the lake then it must be true." The Ice Queen Elona stated.

"But it seems that you do not use its healing properties. I think you use these waters to aid the Great Star Gazer." Adrian asked.

"You are correct, young demon. The water here contains valuable memory and my people do not get sick so we do not use its healing properties. I have said before that water contains memories and the lake is utilized by the Great Star Gazer as the stars could foresee different events. It also lessens her use of life force for every divination." The Ice Queen Elona answered as they landed.

The observatory was just a simple structure made of white marble with a glass ceiling in order to have a clear view of the stars. It seems that the glass roof is special because it can pierce through the blizzard enveloping the outer kingdom.

At the center of the observatory, there is a person standing there with a long white gown and hair that is as long as her gown. She turned towards the guests that is in her observatory and the two best friends saw the state of the Great Star Gazer.

The Great Star Gazer cannot see clearly because she was blind. She was blind but if felt like she was staring at the guests deeply as if peering into the souls of those inside the observatory. Adrian felt her gaze struck him and it felt like an Anubis or a godlike entity is staring at him.

The Great Star Gazer smiled at Adrian as if she knew what is on his mind. Adrian used his evil eye towards her but it was repelled for the first time. It was a complete nullification of an ocular skill which greatly shocked Adrian. The Great Star Gazer is mightier than he thought but it seems her great powers came at a great cost.

The Great Star Gazer is said to be young according to the Ice Queen Elona but wrinkles could be seen from her face. The signs of visible aging could be seen from her visage. It seems that it is life force that she pays to perform great divinations that could determine the status of the world itself.

"She exudes some of the essence of the Everfrost flower. It seems that I was correct in guessing that she was the one to be given the potion made from it. Although I could feel her life force slowing down, it seems that she can only last for about half a century at most." Adrian stated.

"It also seems that the Goddess Gaea is not happy with her." Levin Cloud stated as he received a prompt saying that the Goddess of Life is a little bit unhappy of the Great Star Gazer's status.

"The Great Mother should be very disappointed in me because I prolonged my life that is to be fated to die. The God of Death is probably unhappy with me as well but I shall beg for their forgiveness when I truly die. This world is will be on the brink of destruction had I died and be unable to tell the prophecy." The Great Star Gazer stated in a nonchalant tone.

"Pay no heed to what they are spouting Delphi. They are young and know little about the state of the world." The Ice Queen Elona stated as she glared fiercely at the two.

"It is true though, my dear friend. The twin gods are just unhappy because I extended my stay at the mortal realm. I already foretold my death and it was not at that time so do not worry. The aspect of death never fails to get the souls of the dead." Delphi replied.

"As long as you are not offended then I will not give them trouble." The Ice Queen Elona stated.

"So why are two of the cherished children of the twin gods here?" Delphi asked.

"I thought that you will know because you are a seer and everything." Levin Cloud stated.

"People like the both of you are special because you have been blessed by the twin gods. Your future is not set in stone and is ever changing which is why I cannot divine your future but I can see your past exploits using the memory of this world." Delphi stated.

"We want to know where the prophets of the twin gods are being held. If you help us then maybe the twin gods will not be unhappy with you anymore." Adrian stated.

"If that is your question then it is quite easy to answer as they are in a place shrouded from the normal eyes of the world. In a pocket dimension of the main world, Nebulon. A place called the Grove of Vitaemortem. The trinket you bear is a key to that place but it will take considerable time to get there as it is hidden." Delphi answered easily as she already knows of this place.

"Where is it exactly?" Levin Cloud asked as they are pressured with time.

"It is in a place where two peaks meet. A place both lively and dead. It is at the northwest part of the central continent. The young demon should be able to sense it as his kind is more in tune to finding pocket dimension. Is that all you wish to know? "Delphi answered.

"Yes. Great Star Gazer Delphi. Thank you and we are sorry if we have been rude in some way. We will head out first as we are pressed for time. The Arch Lich must not win the war of the undead." Adrian stated as he teleported away with Levin Cloud and Kanlaon.

"I thought that you will tell them something important about the impending doom coming to this world?" The Ice Queen Elona stated.

"They are not yet ready. We still have time as the signs have yet to manifest. I will ask for your help in fetching them once more when I feel a disruption of the veil that separates the realities." Delphi stated as she once again looked up towards the stars.
