Revitalisation enveloped Kaien at that very moment, cleansing him off whatever wrongness that remained with him. Kaien didn't see the need to do it either way but it felt good and he seemed less exhausted and prepared to answer the fifth riddle and get it over with. “Are you ready Crown Prince Of Yuehua?” Kei asked, staring him dead in the eye. Kaien didn't reply immediately, but then, “Yes, I am ready.”“Good then, let's begin.” Kei said. He returned to his usual pace around Kaien. "I am not a question, yet I demand answers. I am not alive, yet I grow. I am not kept, yet I am collected. Every person carries me, but nobody has ever seen me. What am I?” he dropped the final riddle and awaited Kaien's response. Kaien found the riddle a little bit too strange to comprehend. ‘What sort of riddle is this again.’ ‘It reads like the fourth riddle but it seems way more complex.’ “Time is ticking, crown prince of yuehua…” Kei reminded him which only made him more weary. Even though

Somewhere far from the chaos, disconnected from whatever madness that had come about Azure and the Ashmoon Kingdom. Laid an unsettling ocean basked with threading ships and beyond its shore appeared to be the land of Hasvan. Hasvan happened to be like two continents away from the Ashmoon Kingdom and Azure. It was said to be a prosperous land. Life there was rumoured to be different and at the same time peaceful. Well mostly the old aged people would spread this rumour. Hasvan was naturally a beautiful sight held. It had structures that made Azure and the Ashmoon Kingdom look less catchy and unworthy to visit. Everyone had their own perspective regarding Hasvan either way. Hasvan's starting point was the shore; it was very lively during this time of the period. And moreso, more ships came around more often. Most ships had come around to deliver supplies to other lands. Meanwhile some were adventurous individuals who came to hang around hasvan. Amongst one of the ships

Back at void white space, where infinity and eternity stared down on Kaien and the last lion as well as his awaiting five riddles that would determine Kaien journey from here on as he seeks the seventh fragment. “Yes… I'm ready.” Kaien managed to say, partially unsure himself. Unlike the others, Zhen didn't circle him. Instead, he watched, observed and studied Kaien. With every observation, reality seemed to falter, trying its best to adjust to Zhen's surreal appearance. “You don't seem prepared—Crown Prince Of Yuehua. Fear seems to itch around the corners of your mind.” “No… I'm ready, it's nothing. I'm ready for the riddle..” “Alright then.” Zhen continued, ignoring Kaien's unrelaxed mind. “First riddle of the final trial," Zhen announced, his voice stretched beyond infinity, arching Kaien's consciousness. "I am something you cannot see, yet I shape everything you perceive. I am not matter, nor energy, nor thought, yet without me, none of these could exist. I am the canvas

Back at the Ashmoon Kingdom. Bodies were being packed away by other surviving guards. Dojin on the other hand was within the castle walls, seated in the chamber room, casting his gaze down at the marble fall—feeling suffocated. A while ago, The Prince had looked up to the castle with his sword in hand. Fury was eminent on his face, basked in the blood of his people. His eyes burned with the fury of the Phoenix. He remained like that for almost forever until someone tapped his shoulder from behind. "My Prince..." A masculine voice woke him up from his state. When he turned to look at who it was, it appeared to be another guard except this one was different from the rest that he had killed or so he thought. The guard wore an entirely different uniform from the rest and at the top right of his chest there were like three to four badges on them. This indicated another set of guards serving the prince. When Dojin saw them, he dropped his sword. Despair clouded his face. "What h

Yeon's eyes peeled open to the glistening moonlight above her. She lay down on one of the rooftops, her gaze lost to the night sky. When she sat up, her surroundings looked a bit too familiar to ignore. It was as if she was in Hasvan. Though Aggies never left the moon. Ever since she left the Kingdom she became curious about the celestial bodies of the universe—mostly the moon. The moon became a part of our life that she could never forget, it was her light In every darkness she found. herself. Yes she sailed the sea just like Li-san. Traveled regions just to get to the same destination as her. But throughout her journey, eyes never left the moon whenever it came. The moon was like a new best friend for her after she never kept friends. Which was one thing about her. Yeon hard friends in fact but not one of them was as close as the moon is to her as of now. Sometimes Yeon would discuss things with the moon that would make people wonder if she was mad even the sailors w
