Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Blake and King Augustus both ran forward to catch Alicia. But before they got to her a bright golden light flashed out of her body as it gently floated in the air. The light from Alicia's body expanded taking shape until finally, a woman dressed in white appeared holding Alicia in her arms. The soft warm smile she held on her face as she gazed at the little girl in her arms was like a warm sun's rays shining down from the sky. She caressed the slightly pudgy cheeks that still had some baby fat to them before turning her gaze to the two dumbfounded gentlemen in front of her.contemporary romance

"Hmmm… One is the one she loves while the other is this world's father?" The woman tilted her head to the side as she looked at the two while asking this question to herself out loud. 

"Ah hah… Yes, I am Alicia's father. My Name is King Augustus Alastine the Second and the king of Alastine." King Augustus answered after coming out of his dazed state. He politely gave a small bow. 

"My name is Blake Roseland, Alicia's fiancee." Answered Blake who was a bit calmer since he recognized this voice from the time before when she used Sanctuary. Once he heard about Alicia's past he had a feeling that the one he spoke to before was her mother. 

"Mmm… Good, she was able to come to a world where she could have a better and fulfilling life. A place she can follow her dreams. I must thank you on behalf of this child for taking care of her. I hope in the future you will continue to care for and love her as you do now." The woman smiled at the two after letting out a sigh of relief. "I should introduce myself. I am Akari's… No, wait it's Alicia now. I am Alicia's Mother, Higuchi Yuri, it is a pleasure to meet the two of you finally. It has taken some time to accumulate enough power to be able to come here, although temporary. Unfortunately, it does not look like I will be able to meet with my beloved darling daughter. May I ask what is going on for her to exhaust her magic power to the point that she fainted?" 

Both Blake and King Augustus felt a chill run down their spine when the smile that did not reach Yuri's eyes fell on to them. "It-It's like this." King Augustus stuttered as he did his best to explain the situation. 

"Hmmm? I see... " Yuri sent out a wave of magic. Upon detecting the entity not far away her brow raised a bit and a smile formed on her face. "It is no wonder she exhausted her power like this. To think one of these had appeared here. She will need this later on so I will seal it for now. You two!" Yuri turned her attention back to King Augustus and Blake.

"Yes, mam? Is there anything we can do for you?" King Augustus was sweating at this time. He felt the magic power that Yuri had sent out and it was so immense that he knew if this woman wanted to, she could easily destroy this planet if she so chose to. 

"No need to be nervous. I want you to keep it a secret from Akari… Alicia that I was here. The entity as you call it is a light spirit, it's from another world. It is quite powerful, though it seems to have been corrupted at some point. It is not something the inhabitants of this planet can handle at this time. I have just sealed it up once again. It will no longer affect the Magicules in the area or release Dark Fog. When the time comes Alicia will be able to purify it and it will take its original form. 

"But from now on please allow Alicia to grow a bit slower. Her powers are different from normal Celestials. They are a lot stronger. This probably has something to do with her father. So I must ask you to slow her training a bit. If she grows too fast it could end up causing issues for her later on. As for the dark spirit, I have no idea how it got here but it will be a good pet for Alicia later on. They are very loyal once subdued. The barrier I placed around it can only be broken by Alicia when she has enough power." Yuri paused her words and cradled the little girl in her arms.

"Akari… When Mother is able to gain enough power again, I will come and visit. I hope at that time you are in a state that will allow me to talk with you for a while. Just know that Mother and Father miss you and love you from the bottom of our hearts. We hope that you live a happy life here with your new loved ones. I do not know when I will be able to come back. It could be hundreds of years or maybe even thousands. But know that Mother wishes for nothing more than for you to find happiness in this life." Yuri then stepped forward and gently placed Alicia into King Augustus's arms. 

"You seem to be a good father. Take care of my daughter for me. One day I will return to spend some time with her. I leave her in your care. " Yuri gave King Augustus a smile before caressing Alicia's cheek once more. She leaned over and planted a kiss on Alicia's forehead. She then turned and looked at Blake. "I see... So a son of the Gods race. Mhm good, you match my daughter nicely. Be sure to always be true to her. But I guess with how the Gods Race is I have no worries. Young man, I will leave you with a little something more than I did last time."

Yuri reached out with her finger and a golden light appeared at the tip of her finger. What looked to be a drop of golden blood fell from the golden light and dropped on to the space between Blake's brow. "What I just gave you was the blood of the Celestial race. This, in a sense, will make you a celestial just like Alicia. I hope you can live a long happy and fulfilling life with Alicia. The next time you wake you will notice the difference. It will take time to merge with your body. But within a few years, you will be just like Alicia. This new power will also allow you to protect her better as well."

"You have my word! My life belongs to her and only her." Blake said respectfully, dropping to one knee with his head bowed. 

"Then I will have to take my leave. To the two of you, I thank you both for caring for my darling daughter..."
