"Just call Alagina, that’s my na."
"Alright, Alagina."
Alagina took a deep breath and then glanced again at the remaining Cardinals around her, which were now her only chips for seeking refuge.
She must beco stronger, and she had to do it with determination.
She didn’t know whether it was right to choose to trust a Cardinal that had only just awakened, but being betrayed by Allies, hunted by Nali, and crushed by the one who had taken her husband... all these things made Alagina, who originally enjoyed tranquility, feel distinctly uncomfortable for the first ti.
She did not resent Valentina, in fact, she appreciated this Phoenix for sheltering them at this mont.
She was simply waiting desperately for a thod, and she was not experiencing the wonders of the Storm Sea Cardinal for the first ti. Moreover, she had never heard of anything like the little David, who could speak and take her to a mysterious place, perhaps even Nali had nothing so precious...
She must seize this opportunity!
So, the next mont, Alagina said,
"...Teleport, little David."
"Alright, starting teleportation. Protective asures have been applied to your body to ensure adaptation to the environnt in the Spirit Realm Sanctuary. Connecting to the Sanctuary... Connection failed, initiating direct teleportation."
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
The next second, the small sphere in front of her suddenly burst out with light like the Sun, dazzling and effortlessly enveloping her, transforming her into a beam of light and in an incredibly miraculous way, instantly entering the Gap.
"Ha... ha..."
Alagina breathed laboriously, tasting the sensation of weightlessness while wrapped in Spirit Light. As she entered the Gap, she brushed against all kinds of radiant subconscious and continued rushing upward, towards the outside of the world, deeper and deeper.
She was completely unable to scrutinize the surrounding environnt, only letting the light lead her as it pierced through so barrier, until she entered a splendid and magnificent place.
In the next mont, the environnt before her eyes beca concrete, and she appeared out of thin air in a place...
A place extrely vast, extrely silent, and extrely dark.
"We have arrived, Alagina, please rate the service of little David this ti!"
"Wait, is this... the Angel’s Sanctuary?"
Everything around was pitch black and deathly silent. Alagina was not missing, only using the glow emitted by little David beside her to survey the surroundings. But because the area was so vast and dark, the light that had just seed extrely bright now appeared so fragile, only able to illuminate a small area around her.
"Empty, empty, empty..."
Alagina’s foot stepped on so sort of carved stone brick, with exquisite patterns engraved upon it, a type of pattern Alagina had never seen before... no, she seed to have seen this kind of pattern.
Right on... Storm Sea?
"Yes, oh, strange, why is it so dark and quiet here. According to my private database, this should be the docking port of the Sanctuary, a place transferred by the Holy Descendants... Hmm, let scan the surroundings for a mont, don’t worry, Alagina."
Little David curiously turned its spherical body, emitting strands of faint light, soon deconstructing all before it, wrapping the darkness in fluorescence, and revealing the contours of various items.
This place was chaotic, scattered with various items, yet not a single corpse. Everything around was sealed with bricks, except for fragnts of the ceiling that had fallen everywhere, with strange light beams akin to starlight pouring down from the gap of the broken ceiling, attracting Alagina’s attention.
She looked upwards, intending to see beyond the ceiling, or the scenery of the Spirit Realm, but just as she raised her head and caught sight of a faint crimson mist, behind her, a chanical voice devoid of emotion yet slightly sharp roared to interrupt her action,
"A friendly reminder from David: if you don’t want to die, please do not gaze at the scene outside the Sanctuary."
"...David?"
Alagina was slightly stunned, quickly stopping her movent and turning her head, very warily looking towards the direction of the voice.
In the darkness, borrowing the starlight leaking from the cracks in the ceiling and little David’s light, Alagina vaguely saw a figure floating in the air, a shadow shimring with bright blue light, indistinguishable from the glow on little David.
Under Alagina’s slightly tense and vigilant gaze, that shadow floating in the darkness gradually beca clearer.
It turned out to be an entity with a youthful appearance, not too tall, and with long, curly red hair, a face of rare beauty like an artwork seldom seen in the world, gender hard to discern, or perhaps such an existence should not have a gender?
But what truly captured Alagina’s attention were his worn, broken, or incomplete parts, from which beneath his ceramic-like cracked skin, were exposed complex and orderly components and circuitry...
This made Alagina have to accept a fact: the presence before her was essentially a Cardinal, and not a living creature.
"Yes, that’s the na my mom and dad chose for , David... What about you, guest, what na did your mom and dad choose for you?"
The "Cardinal" in front of him opened his mouth with a chanical voice while continuously emitting blue sparks within, indicating that he was long worn-out and his condition was precarious.
But even so, he was like a miracle that should not exist in this world, showing Alagina the legend of so civilization.
