Leo had been quite suspicious of Lunas and his nephews actions the last few days. He caught Luna researching about the old alchemy building, and it wasnt just her. It was brief, but he caught a few reference materials on Kais study table once about the sa place when he ca over to visit Peters and Kais dorm room. He did give Luna a warning but from what he understood of her personality, she wouldnt give up unless she has answers to her questions. Just like a certain nephew of his who was nad crowned prince just last sumr.
Leo was talking with Professor Tresde about his suspicions. He was fully aware that Kayla Tresde was once his older sister Shuris personal knight before she fought in the front lines and she knew about the old alchemy building. After all, Grand Princess Shuri, forr queen of Syna Kingdom and Kais mother, was the head of the project held under that building.
You know more about what happened back then. Leo said after telling the professor of what he saw. And Im sure Kai and Luna will head there.
The project has been shut down ten years ago and everything was destroyed under the orders of His Majesty. Im pretty sure they will find nothing but an abandoned building.
But what about the energy orb at the deepest level of the building?
Professor Tresde paused for a while. True, everything related to the project was destroyed ten years ago and everyone that worked on it were either dead or bound by a contract, but the energy orb they were researching before the shutdown was never did destroyed. In fact, it couldnt be destroyed.
Kais Fox Curse was activated because of that, he has a connection with that thing. Do you really think hed stay away from that place?
Then thats certainly bad news.
Their conversation was suddenly cut off when a ssenger bird entered Professor Tresdes office via window. She imdiately recognized the bird; it was Freyas ssenger bird. The two noticed the scroll of paper it had on its foot. Professor Tresde imdiately took the scroll and read it.
Leo was baffled when the professor suddenly held a look of shock and worry on her face.
Whats wrong professor?
Kai was abducted and taken to the northern forest. Luna and the others are planning to rescue him.
WHAT?!
This is bad. How can the prince be abducted? Inside the academy grounds! And taken to the northern forest? This is really bad.
You think?
Gather the disciplinary committee, Ill get the teachers. Lets et at the entrance of the northern forest.
Leo arrived at the entrance of the forbidden northern forest with the elites of the disciplinary committee and the student council, but they all stopped at their tracks when they saw that a barrier had enclosed the entire forest. It didnt help when Leo suddenly felt a strong power from inside it.
Sothings definitely happening inside. he thought.

With my new found powers, I took down my enemies by enhancing my strength, speed and power. Now that I think about it, it wasnt different of how I usually fight.
Once in a while, I would also send fire and ice spells towards the crater, fox fire especially since it could incinerate the mutated creatures imdiately. But no matter how hard we take down our enemies or how many mutated creatures we kill, we were getting overwheld and at the sa ti, we were getting tired.
We need to escape. Andrea said as she tried to catch her breath.
I totally agree with her. Beads of sweat were covering my body and I could feel my body strain at the fatigue. Not to ntion my fox core was still adjusting to my mortal body and with that, I could feel my bodys temperature rise up.
Bad news! Fan arrived with a frantic look on her face. Theres a barrier around the forest! We cant get out of here!
WHAT?!
All of a sudden, Dean Alkis was laughing like a madman. Were all going to die.
I made my way towards him with an angry look. What are you talking about?
Once any of these creatures manages to get out of the building without supervision, the barrier will be activated. And it will not be brought down until the creature is killed or returned to its cell. Their cages have been destroyed when the building and the underground facilities collapsed, and there are too much of them outside. Were all going to be devoured.
Why did you even do such a thing?! I yelled. Is this how you expected the warriors of Praiji Empire to be?
Theyre failures! Kai, Prince Kai is the one chosen by the power orb. No, you youre chosen by the power orb!
Such nonsense. You will explain yourself to the emperor. I hit Dean Alkis nape which promptly knocked him out.
-We need to do sothing about these creatures in one go. Theres a possibility so of them are humans but with how things are going, if we worry about that, were going to end up dead.
I suddenly felt pain radiate inside of and I stumbled to the ground. I fell on my knees and I started breathing heavily. I could feel my insides rise in temperature still and a pounding headache was forming. I did not know what was happening then but later on, I found out that my fox core and inner core were adapting, no, rging with each other and it was making a lot of excess energy within my body, which my mortal body couldnt handle, unless I release it.
Get away from ! I exclaid.
I took in a deep breath, a desperate one, and I felt sothing explode inside of . Before I passed put, I saw myself inside a pillar of light and then I was engulfed by darkness.

On a distant island in the northeast, two individuals were seated across each other, playing a board ga not known in Afasia in a pavilion. The pavilion was situated at the mountainside and from there, they could see half of the island with its lush green valley.
All of a sudden, the young man with golden blonde hair and sky-blue eyes gasped and green smoke poured out of his mouth. The other young man who had black hair, amber eyes and a marking on his face that ran from the left side of his forehead all the way to his left cheek, was imdiately flustered.
Apollo? Whats- Are you going to spill so sort of prophecy? Or do you feel- nope, its a prophecy.
She who survived the purge
Have made the core and seed rge
The Child of the fox beware
The forgotten deity's red teardrop she must soon wear
The Celestials and Demons bane stands firm in red
One with pain that ca from bloodshed
A single choice will be made with one last breath
Will Afasia live or end at the hands of the red death?
The green smoke vanished and the man who issued it, Apollo, tried to catch his breath. This is bad Wukong, I saw a lot of red in that vision.
Was that a grand prophecy? asked Wukong in return, worry was reflected on his face. You Greeks have always loved such tragic visions.
Not like we wanted them to be one, you damned monkey.
Youre right. The last ti you spoke a grand prophecy was two hundred years ago. You think the scale is the sa?
I dont know! I only give the prophecy! Even I dont understand it!
Hmm I think I have to return ho soon. Wukong looked at the distance with a lancholic look. I have a woman waiting for .
Assuming she doesnt break a bone or two when you arrive.
"Don't jinx it. Marii loves too much."
"Whatever floats your boat, dude."
anwhile, in another realm, a man in regal clothes was seated in a throne made of gold. He was holding a court eting with his ministers and officials present on the throne room. But all of a sudden, a pillar of bluish-light pierced the barrier that separated the Celestial Realm and the mortal realm of Afasia and Apollos prophecy echoed all over the realm.
What is the aning of this?! exclaid the one on the throne. Sobody dares to be the Celestials' bane? Find out imdiately!
Yes your majesty!
Many others were made aware of the sudden surge of power in the central continent and the appearance of the pillar of light. At the sight of it, they knew that trouble and chaos would soon start and they had to prepare. Of course, the one who was most aware of what was about to co was seated in one of the offices inside the palace of Praiji Empire. Once the pillar of light erge from sowhere within the grounds of the Imperial Academy, she imdiately stopped what she was doing and looked at it.
The Red Prophecy has been spoken and the Red Sovereign has been chosen. she muttered. The Colored Monarchs will soon rise to rule Afasia.
There was suddenly a knock on the door to her office and the emperor of Praiji Empire strode in.
Aunt Zaira, Im afraid well have to visit the Imperial Academy.
I know.
