Keeping up with the story about Mayla and Dreik's past, the youngsters met six years later in a brief moment, because of the warning that the young man brought for the princess. Once announced, the princess did not take much importance of it, putting her feelings first.
-Dreik: I have an idea... Do you think we could make another promise since we've fulfilled this one?
-Mayla: Another... promise?
-Dreik: Once we finish our quest and the legendary hero defeats whatever threatens our lands, I'm going to ask for your hand.
-Mayla: Eeeeeh? E-Ehh... That's too much!
-Dreik: You've turned very red, hahahaha! Is it a no?
-Mayla: O-Of course not... I am so glad to hear these words... Dreik, I love you with all my being. I accept your promise!
-Dreik: E-Eh... don't say those things so suddenly... although, I love you too after all... Good! Let's seal our promise!
The young couple, very shy, held hands at each other staring at each other and with great embarrassment, until little by little they approached until they joined their lips, closing the promise in this way – S-Sealed Promise... – pronounced Dreik with much embarrassment – A-Ah... Yes, all set – the princess replied in the same way.
-Mayla: I really missed these moments... but it's getting late, you must go, right?
-Dreik: Unfortunately... The truth is that I have missed this too.
-Mayla: By the way... I can tell that you are still wearing the pendant hehe... I'm glad, I hope we can see each other soon despite all this mess.
-Dreik: Rest assured, we'll probably see each other faster than we think.
-Mayla: We're going to cross paths and this time... We will have an adventure and share everything we have learned.
-Dreik: I hope so!
With that set in stone, Dreik said goodbye to his beloved and left the site, causing the princess to be left with a smile and tears welling up in her eyes. A few days after this, Mayla met the trio of sisters Lisa, Ana and Alba who became close friends with her so that, the following year, the princess was affected by Ulex's poison, thus being rescued by Shiko and company...
In this way, the princess finished revealing the story she was telling to her companion, while many tears flew non-stop from her eyes, being hugged by Alba.
-Alba: I'm really sorry for everything that happened, miss... In the end, I think fate has played against you in a very awful way.
-Mayla: He's an idiot... He dared to think of me until his last breath after all. However... He didn't keep his last promise... really... fate has been very unfair.
-Alba: Fate is cruel... but it must not always be what you think it dictates, I think that belief has led them to accept the events without further ado…I…I don't want to think that my sister's death has happened because that's how it should happen...There were simply many factors involved that affected this to happen. But I'm sure you can face this one and change.
-Mayla: That's what I want to believe... it's what we must do to succeed, don't you think...?
-Alba: Miss, that's what I think, but for now…let's not think about it, we must rest. What do you say?
-Mayla: You're right... tomorrow will be another day...
And so, the young women decided to head towards the cabin where they would rest until they reached the next day.
The next morning, everyone gathered in the hut where the wounded were located, who Shiko was the only one to wake up from.
-Lyn: Shiko! Thank goodness! I was very worried.
-Shiko: Ouch... my whole body hurts... Light and Tetsu still haven't woken up...
-Mayla: They won't do it for a couple of days... the truth is that the fatigue and pain they feel is too much and between Asuka, Alba and I have been using different methods to try to calm him down a little, but the truth is that it is a little difficult for him to stay stable.
-Shiko: ... Now that I've woken up, you can focus on helping them.
-Asuka: I will take care of treating the wounds you still have.
-Shiko: Okay... sorry for worrying you all.
-Zene: Apart from all this incident... It seems to me that people who are in good condition should continue training.
-Alba: Mainly a certain lady who was avoiding training for a few days...
-Asuka: *gulp* I-I'm going to give my best...
-Yun: I can take care of instructing them.
-Mayla: Oh... Would you do that for us? You really are a very kind young man.
-Yun: E-eeeeh Yes! Anything for the mission!
-Rikka: Brother... don't get carried away...
-Mayla: That said, don't worry, I'll take care of them these days.
-Asuka: Will you be okay...?
-Alba: Asuka-chan, trust Miss Mayla, okay?
-Zene: No more talk. If we start training, let's do it. An incident has occurred that is too serious to stop.
-Mayla: Zene said it... Once these two are well we will leave for our next destination.
-Shiko: For now... I will continue the training I was taking with... with Dreik. It's the only thing I can do for him.
Unlike Shiko, the rest began to continue their training to improve their powers, who were now instructed by Yun, who oversaw training Asuka in a special way due to her physical endurance deficiency.
Meanwhile, Shiko, who was just recovering, calmly trained the control he could have over the water. The young man went to the shore of the island, sat down on the sand and with great calm and patience, tried to lift small molecules of sea water. While concentrating, he was barely able to move some, directing them little by little in the way he wanted, turning them into magic and reversing the process.
Three days passed in which the princess went through difficult times trying to keep Light and Tetsu's bodies stable. who on the fourth day woke up with little strength and very bewildered. Seeing them become aware, Mayla quickly called the rest and asked them to bring a supply of food they had on the island to feed them and for them to gain strength. Once the young people were helped, who were feeling a little better, they thanked everyone for the help they received.
-Light: How much... has it happened?
-Tetsu: I can feel many waves gathered together, has everyone come here?
-Asuka: That's right, we are all safe and it has been four days since the battle.
-Lyn: The new guy... he's also Light's brother, isn't he?
-Tetsu: We're not really blood brothers haha... I feel many two new auras in this place; can they be introduced?
-Shiko: The girl is Lyn and the young man's name is Zene; they were the first companions that Asuka and I had when we came to this world.
-Lyn: Not counting your brother and his girlfriend, who to this day we have not seen again.
-Asuka: You're right... What has happened to Mirei and Meni?
-Shiko: The last time I saw Mirei was in the forest... but I have no idea what he's been doing, because with La'Parca, we've exterminated eight Guardians so far.
-Light: Have you left travelers behind? We're all supposed to be together.
-Asuka: Well... the two are not the only ones, Alba's sister is in the city of magic as well.
-Rikka: And my sister Mikka... I have no idea... where she is located...
-Mayla: Well, we'll take care of those worries, it's important that we rest... Talking about the guardians…I would not want the next one to be defeat being Master Elysian.
-Shiko y Asuka: Do you know him!?
-Mayla: Huh? Yes, well... He was the one who taught me how to use my thread skills to be able to create clothes and who instructed me in all the knowledge I know so far.
-Shiko: Miss Mayla, you don't have to worry about facing your master.
-Asuka: That's right! He is fine and takes care of all the species of this world in a strange dungeon where the evil demon, Eclipse, keeps all of these for a ritual he is planning.
-Shiko: As Asuka says, he was in charge of going to such a dungeon on his own because of visions that he had.
-Rikka: Elysian... not only did he instruct Miss Mayla... also... he is the one who taught me... to deal with my visions... because he has... the same ability.
-Mayla: But then... Who is in charge of his position? To accomplish that he had to shed his seal as a guardian and give it to someone else...
-Light: I think I can tell who that person is, that he can trust so much...
-Mayla: Aren't you referring to...?
-Light: Yes... we are talking about Lunasin.
-Rikka: Well... with this conversation... my visions are more and more fulfilled...
-Yun: Did you have another one?
-Rikka: It's about... about the destiny... of Miss Mayla...
-Mayla: So that's what it's all about... I will be the one who must take care of defeating Lunasin.
-Shiko: Wasn't Lunasin the name of a goddess of this world?
-Tetsu: That's right... But the person we are talking about was chosen as the future representative of the goddess, so her father decided to name her in the same way.
-Light: The person we are talking about... She is my sister and also the bearer of the Fire Dragon Core.
-Shiko: Another sister? She also contains the powers of the fire dragon! We must take care of her if she loses control of herself because of her current position. We have already seen how dangerous we are when we are out of our minds!
-Tetsu: Get ready, we'll leave tomorrow... Don't worry about me, even when I'm blind, I can take you through my magical vision.
That said, everyone prepared for the next place to visit, where one of the two missing guardians to defeat was located...
To be continued...
