Pula"s white eyes filled with tears. "Then this old one can finally rest! I thank you holy one for abiding by the old decree! Now if you can please drop a bit of blood on to the fairy sack. Only in this way will this little one recognize you as her parent."Alicia nodded her head and stepped forward to the glowing orb or fairy sack as Pula had called it. She nipped the tip of her thumb and squeezed out a drop of blood. When the drop of blood landed on the glowing orb a bright flash of light filled the small room while three multicolored magic circles formed over the glowing orb. A tiny figure with wings floated up out of the glowing orb. The bright light slowly dimmed as the glow of the orb lost its l.u.s.ter and turned into a grey sh.e.l.l.
The little fairy in the air slowly opened its eyes and looked around. It looked at Pula and then at Loeri before her eyes finally fell on Alicia. "Mother!" A tiny sweet voice could be heard as the little figure flew at lightning speed towards Alicia before stopping abruptly at Alicia"s shoulder and lightly landing. She then walked up to Alicia"s face and planted a kiss on her face.
"h.e.l.lo, little Frey!" Alicia had already decided on a name for the little girl.
"I"m Frey!?" Frey asked in surprise.
"Yes, you are. Your name is now Frey!" A big bright smile appeared on Alicia"s face. She really found this little fairy very cute!
"Frey! Frey! That"s my name! Frey!" Frey"s green hair that reached her waist bounced all over as she was jumping up and down singing a strange song. This caused everyone to laugh.
"To think this old woman can laugh even now. Holy one I thank you from the bottom of this old one"s heart. I will now take my eternal rest. Please watch after this little one. No please watch after little Frey." The old fairy bowed to Alicia before waving her hand and disappearing.
"I wonder how long she had to wait for…" Alicia muttered to herself before asking: "Loeri do you know what this holy one thing she is talking about?"
"I do not know. When I first met you, I also smelled a strange scent on you. But I am not sure what this scent is because according to my memories it does not match anything that my dragon race knows of." Loeri was interested in what Alicia really was but so far from what she can tell she was an oddity in a way. Just the fact that she can walk through any barrier without even causing a reaction to it shows that she is not ordinary.
"Well, it really does not matter what I may be. I am me and that is all that matters!" Alicia said proudly.
"Mmmm! Frey loves Mother for who she is!" Frey said as she hopped over and hugged and kissed Alicia"s cheek.
"And I love Frey for who she is!" Alicia said as she rubbed the top of Frey"s head with her finger. This caused Frey to giggle and smile.
Loeri for some reason felt a little disgruntled about this now. Wasn"t she supposed to be the cute one that Alicia praised? Why did this cute little Fairy have to show its face! Loeri was a little jealous but she held back because it was for the sake of keeping the Fairy race from going completely extinct.
"Okay since we are done here let"s head back. We still got a while to travel to get to the center of the forest. But before that I need to make some clothes for little Frey. " Alicia said as she pulled out a dress from her s.p.a.ce pouch and cut a small dress out of it. After she was done she tied the shoulder straps together and tried to put it on the Frey.
"Mother my wings!" Frey was struggling to get the dress over her wings. Seeing this made both Loeri and Alicia giggle.
"Alright hold on we will have to go with an open back." After making a little adjustments Frey was finally able to put the dress on. "Mhm! Very cute. This will do for now. I will ask Master Berlin later on if there is a way to get some proper clothes made for you."
"Anything Mother gives Frey, Frey will love!" Frey was dancing happily as she twirled around in her new dress.
"That is good to hear!" Alicia once again rubbed Frey"s head with her finger. "Okay let us get going!"
The trio climbed the stairs and exited the barrier after covering everyone in her Magic power. Berlin who was standing outside of it anxious to see his daughters return caught sight of her but the extra addition is what drew his attention more! "Why is my daughter"s list of rare beings multiplying? First, it"s a dragon, now its a fairy. What"s next, a G.o.d!?"
Of course Berlin was very happy that his daughter was gaining all these new companions. But this made it so he would need her to get a lot stronger within this year. Berlin once again reformulated Alicia"s training. In His mind. Alicia was about to jump headfirst into another training session from h.e.l.l without even knowing it.
Alicia, Loeri, and Frey had traveled for a few days now and they were very exhausted. Wave after wave of Demonic beasts kept attacking them. Alicia really wanted to know what she had done to anger the demonic beasts in this forest. Because this was not one or two of the same kind but ten or twenty of many different kinds of demonic beasts. And their star rank differed between each demonic beasts. Some of these demonic beasts were natural enemies but they still ran to attack her instead of the enemy at their side! Fight after fight Alicia was soaked in demonic beast blood from head to toe. After killing hundreds of demonic beasts Alicia was starting to get fed up. So when the next wave came she quickly made a huge firewall blocking the demonic beast from getting close to her.
"With this, I can rest a whi... " All she wanted was to catch her breath! But who would have thought those demonic beasts actually jumped through the fire almost as if they were tossed through.
Well, they were tossed through. Berlin got mad seeing them trying to run in fright. So he used his magic to pick up the demonic beasts and tossed them through the fire over to Alicia!
