Lucy Wickshire

Chapter 173

"Do not enter!" Matriarch Lilac"s words left her mouth and resounded across the nunnery. Lucy tried to calm her breath; she coughed loudly and struggled to settle her heart. Soon, she was calm enough to sit up and look into Matriarch Lilac"s stormy eyes. This woman was a martial expert, yet the stone still suffocated her. how could Lady Wickshire survive under such pressure? Lucy understood her thought, but how could she explain her first encounter with the man she has chosen to be her husband? She saw the excitement in the matriarch"s eyes and knew she was right; this stone was useful to her.

Matriarch lilac was sure of what she had just seen.

"The heart of The Unending Seas." she whispered in disbelief, "Where? Where did you find this?" she asked Lucy.

"Are you interested now?" Lucy asked, her calm had returned and a soft smile graced her lips. Matriarch Lilac cleared her throat and stilled her heart. She was sure her reaction was all the confirmation of the importance of this stone to her, that Lady Wickshire needed.

"You bring this to me, then you must know of my goals."

"Yes." Lucy answered.

"Then you must know that this is not enough."

"Of course."

"Then... you have more up your sleeves, right? You made Xier move, you brought me the heart of The Unending Seas. One must wonder what you are planning?" Matriarch Lilac said.

"A show, of course. Something flashy and utterly heart wrenching. I warned those outside that they best not move or I shall mess with them. I must do well on my promise." Lucy said mildly.

"Since it is so, then you must know that this stone is but one of a key set that unlocks the hundred year battle stage. Anyone with this, does not need to wait for the hundred year mark to unlock it. Every time the battle sage opens, it is during the alignment of realms. Very soon one will open and those with a token will enter. Thriegor only has two zones, This-side and Other-side. It can not be cla.s.sified as powerful as Harnian gate, talk more of as big as a realm; which have five gates. Yet we receive more tokens than the Harnian gate. The higher realms control the distribution of tokens, yet they give our little Thriegor over fifty tokens. This is more than double the Harnian gate"s amount.

"We both understand that that is out of respect for the Thraine name. The hundred year battle stage, the alignment stage, what ever one wish it be called, I am aware of one thing; there are different sections on this stage. That is why those from the lower realms don"t clash with those from the middle realms or higher. The battleground must be sectioned according to realms. If one can open the battleground; if one has the complete key set, one could control the battleground, even open paths into different sections of the stage." Matriarch Lilac explained.

"The hundred year battle stage is a gateway across realms." Lucy said with a nod.


"Yes. You already knew this, that is why you brought me this stone. The battleground could act as a short cut across realms. If one wanted to go up the realms from Thriegor, they would have to go through a lot of stages to travel there. Of course, I suspect the higher realms and even the middle realms, have a way to shorten this journey." Matriarch lilac said.

"If they truly respect the Thraine name, they will understand that it is only right we should have one too." Lucy said.
