Phantasia: The Princess Knight

"Chaos qi?" Alicia had never heard of chaos qi before. But she figured this was only natural since she had only spent seven years on a cultivator world.

The old man chuckled and waved his hand, making a chair appear before sitting down on it. Alicia also did the same. Three people sat amongst the dense chaos qi separated by a barrier. "Chaos qi is one of the original qi's of the multiverse. It is what the origin cultivates and not many know about it. Long ago many cultivated both magicules and spiritual qi. But before that, there was a time when people cultivated three kinds of powers. This was during the time when the first origin reigned and all worlds were brand new. You could say that the way the current celestial race cultivates is wrong. At least that is what I can tell by looking at you. There is a light and dark to everything, but everything was born from the darkness. There is a place within the multiverse that only the Origin and the Origins left and right hand will ever reach. Unfortunately only the first Origin was able to reach this plane. Or it could be said that the first origin originated from this plane."

"Wait I was told the Origin is the creator of the planets and everything but not that the Origin was not from here at all..." Alicia was confused. She had no idea who she should believe but she saw no reason for this old man to lie to her.

"That is true. The first Origin was the creator of the worlds and even the Origins after that did the same. But the first Origin was tens of thousands of times more powerful than any Origin after that. This was because during the first Origins reign many powerful beings invaded the multiverse. Where they came from no one knows. They appeared one day and began destroying planet after planet. The Origin and his followers fought against these invaders but in the end, both the Origin and the first invaders disappeared… 

"But during the first reign of the Origin, the ones who came with the Origin were a celestial and a magic user. The three combined had created three different cultivation systems. First was the use of magic, this was cultivated by taking in Magicules. The magic system could be cultivated by any human as long as their body had a special magical organ which would allow them to store Magicules. Once it reached a certain point it would then burst and become a pool of magicules making them even more powerful. There were many stages to this power and unlike the cultivation system it was very strong even from the start. 

"Now the same could be said for celestial power. It is basically a cultivation system without too many actual levels to it. Both magic power and celestial power all end up at a single one point called true gods which they then follow the same cultivation system as the cultivators. Celestials are of a bloodline which makes them different from the others. Celestials have a unique trait and the most powerful celestials will start showing signs of a true awakening at one point in their life. Once the ancient blood within you awakens you will be more powerful than you could ever imagine. I can already tell from your halo that you have started to awaken." The old man looked at Alicia thoughtfully. 

"What do you mean? I thought this halo was a sign of becoming a demi god? " Alicia had a feeling before that this halo had a different meaning for her but she could never place her finger on what it was that made it sp special. 

"The reason I say this is because your halo is infused with celestial power only. It shows no traces of your other cultivation systems. If my guess is not wrong you have sung a hymn have you not?" The old man asked.

"Hymn….. I have once sung a song to send off the dead… At that time I had no control over my body..." Alicia said honestly. 

"I see… It seems your true awakening is still far off. Whether or not you are able to fully awaken will have a lot to do with whether or not you can find a source of holy qi." The old man explained.

"Holy qi?" Alicia was surprised to hear about another type of qi. 

"Holy qi… How do I put this… Remember how I told you that the Origin appeared in this realm one day, well the two that followed the Origin had brought items with them. In order to fill this place with the types of qi's needed for cultivation. This is where all Magicules, Chaos qi, and holy qi came from. During the disappearance of the Origin, these items went missing. The residual chaos qi that was from the Origin dispersed throughout the world changed over time splitting into two groups. Spiritual qi and devil qi. Devil qi is the counterpart that is closest to the source known as chaos qi. Magicules also changed and has become weaker making the cultivation of magic power much slower and for holy qi… well… holy qi is the hardest to find and not many even know about it.

"I myself do not know which is stronger. But the ability to cultivate each kind of power is possible. As you can see since you, yourself are cultivating two of them now, while your celestial power is slowly converting the two into holy qi to support your celestial bloodline. But if you can find a source of holy qi you can awaken your true abilities as a celestial." The old man had explained a lot so far but Alicia was still trying to take all this in. 

After a few moments of gathering her thoughts, Alicia finally understood everything that was said. "Leaving these things aside for now. May I ask why you are even down here?" 

"I am down here on my own accord. I have been called many things on this planet but the one you might be familiar with is Creator." The old man said with a smile. "This barrier I made myself. You see I have hidden myself here in order to wait for the next origin."

Alicia's eyes almost fell out of her head. She was being hunted by these same creators and here was one sitting right in front of her talking with her in such a nonchalant way! "Umm… excuse me for asking but I thought the creators were against the Origin..."

"What you said is not wrong. You see I am the oddball of the group. You can say that I am someone who wishes for the old days to return. To bring our multiverse out of the dark ages and bring it back to the realm beyond. The original Origin and the Origins left and right hand came from beyond. I wish to see what this beyond is. My goal is to help the Origin in any way I can in order to see the beyond with my own eyes. You see… The Origin has stumbled into this universe and one day will come to this world seeking advice. It is then that I will leave this world along with the Origin to bring her back to her original universe. Once I leave, the area that has been devastated by the chaos qi will finally regain its luster. I do apologize for this happening. My barrier can only do so much and the chaos qi has leaked out from my body during my cultivation sessions." The old man explained.

"Wait, the Origin is coming here? Will I get to see her?" Alicia was very surprised to hear that the origin was coming to this world. But after remembering the images she had seen before, she did indeed want to meet her if she could.

"It is best that you do not. As of now, you will be stronger than the Origin. The Origin is still too weak to know too much. Until she reaches the stage where she can finally fight against the creators and step on to a grander stage, only then will she know everything. But before that happens the Origin and the left and right hand of the Origin will finally meet. But for now, it is best that you do not meet her." The old man said as he got up from his chair and looked at Alicia thoughtfully. "Until the day we meet again. I must ask you to leave now." contemporary romance

The old man waved his hand, the area around Blake and Alicia both changed and she found herself back in the middle of Felinenia nowhere near the forbidden area. "Blake… It seems like in the future I will eventually leave this world for good..." 

Alicia finally realized her destiny did not rest with this planet alone. She would one day need to leave this world and venture out into the unknown. Alicia gazed up at Blake who looked down back at her cupping her cheek with his hand. He gave a loving smile as she said: "No matter where you go I will follow. Just remember, I will always be by your side. If I can not follow then I will grow stronger until it is possible for me to do so." 

"Un!" Alicia nodded her head and stood on her tiptoes as Blake lowered his head. Their lips met, but this kiss that had just begun ended quickly as there were cheers coming from their side. It was only then that Alicia and Blake both realized they were in a crowd of Cat Sith. 

Alicia's face went bright red and even Blake's ears turned a tinged red. He grabbed Alicia's hand and quickly departed the area and flew up into the sky. They hovered in the air for a little bit before heading towards the castle. "You know I never did find out the old man's name..."

"We are probably not meant to know at this time. He said that we will meet once more. So we will just wait and see." Blake answered. He also wished he asked the old man his name. But it seemed the old man did not care too much to give it.
