--AN) two more on the way. For those who did not notice, I took a day off yesterday.--
Three marks were laid out in the dirt in front of the wall of fog. Each spot was spaced out by a few miles. Blake stood back far enough to see each marking before using his sword as a route picker. He was deciding on the path based on pure luck. "Here we go!"
Blake let the sword go and watched as it swayed for a second before falling to his right. "So the path on the right."
"Blake, are you sure we should do things this way?" Titi asked. She did not know if they should really be using this kind of method to determine their route when it could lead to their deaths.
Blake chuckled and rubbed her head as he said: "It's not like we wouldn't just be randomly picking the route anyway, so let's leave it up to fate. This just makes our choice easier and nothing more."
"True." Titi pursed her lips as she looked up at Blake with eyes filled with want. She was having a hard time controlling her urge to throw herself into Blake's arms. She knew the elves were also the same because they were both red cheeked staring at him as well.
While Blake was making his way to the third passage in the fog, Lillia had found a gold mine of ancient texts. "These things…. Date back pre dragonic and even before my race! Were they one of the very first races to emerge on this planet?"
Lillia was reading a text about the history of the race that created this tomb. It took her a while to decipher the ancient text, but it was very similar to another ancient language that she had read before, and was able to discern what was written. "The Naga…. A race of serpent like beings. Half serpent and half humanoid. Dated 12 Tolmonia. Is this what they used for keeping track of the years?"
The text she was reading told the story of how the Naga were the rulers of the land. Their people were the strongest beings alive. And would fight against the other races who kept trying to take them down. At this, Lillia couldn't help but chuckle. After all, she was sitting here reading these ancient texts in the tomb of an ancient of that race.
'The leaders of the Naga were so strong that they were breaking the bounds of the power of this world. Their power had reached an entirely new realm leaving them to be such a formidable force.' Lillia wondered if the ancients of the Naga were more powerful than an ancient from one of the clans that lived today.'
Lillia read on until she finally got to a part that completely shocked her. 'Due to the powers of their leaders reaching a new height, they broke through the bounds of the world and reached a higher plane of existence. It was then that the other clans decided to strike the Naga.' Lillia read this part over and over. She couldn't help but want to make sure she was translating the text correctly, but no matter how she read it, it still read the same. The top powers of the Naga entered a new plane of existence. Not another world but a new plane….
Lillia took this in for a few minutes before continuing to read. 'The Princess of the Naga. Princess Gemini tried to save her race by creating a magic realm. While she was successful in taking in part of the lands her people owned, she was unable to save them all. And over time, her own power was no longer enough to keep the enemies out. They broke into the magic realm and began slaughtering her people. Turning the entire realm into a war zone.

'The princess tried to save her people, but she was unable to. She was forced back, and the commoners of her clan and even the soldiers who were fighting with everything they had were losing ground fast…..' "Hmmm? It ends here…." Lillia sighed. She did not need to know what happened next as she looked at the blood on the last page of the text. It was sure enough, the author of this text had died. While she was curious as to how the war ended. She knew that unless she was able to find where the princess lived, she might not be able to find out.
There were many other texts as well, one of which was on basic magic. She picked it up and began reading it over before her mouth dropped open. "What!? Magic has always been intended to be used in such a way!? This text is very important!"
The text actually went over the methods for strengthening the mana in one's body, from condensing it to actually solidifying it into a rock solid core that you no longer needed to worry about mana. Such a text was more important than anything she had ever found before. It was a precious treasure! She also had many other kinds of texts that were basic spells but were much stronger than anything she had ever seen. There was even a text on how to use magic that she had never even heard of before. She was so glad this tomb actually opened up! With all these new things, she could help Destiny City grow even more! She couldn't wait to tell Blake about this!
As for Blake, he was staring at a grand black stoned palace. There were no signs of destruction anywhere. It was in perfect shape and seemed to be brand new. "Hey, Titi, where is the forest?"
"I am not sure… the forest was just an illusion as well?" Even Titi was very confused as to what was going on. She and the two elves got ready for battle, just in case.
"Let's go take a look then. If anything, we might find something good." Blake was actually really hoping to find something that would help him reach the third evolution as quickly as possible. He wanted to finally fly without needing to flap his wings all the time. He could stand in the air normally as if he was standing on the ground. And this was just a bonus to the boost in strength he would get.
