Phantasia: The Princess Knight - Chapter 410

Mirri stood frozen in place. For the first time in her long life, someone actually held her in their embrace. But the longer Alicia hugged her the more she felt that a hug was not such a bad thing and slowly wrapped her own arms around Alicia hugging her back.

Alicia brought Mirri back to where the others were and introduced her. After explaining about Mirri’s background the other girls immediately crowded around her. Mirri once again was given hug after hug. After Mirri made her contract with Alicia, Alicia was able to help control Mirri’s power making it so that it would not affect the surroundings and other people. She could now live a normal life.

Alicia had come to understand a few things about Mirri when their contract was established. She was indeed a spirit but she was a spirit made of fire law. Which was an anomaly on Phantasia since not much law energy was present on this world. Law energy was needed in order to create such life forms. She learned all of this while on the cultivation world. Alicia could only think that maybe at one time, Phantasia actually had an abundance of law energy. If this was the case then maybe just maybe there were actually more beings like Mirri out there.

Alicia was already planning to try to find more of Mirri’s kind and save them from the fate of a lonely life. That is if they were in the same situation as Mirri was. Alicia also hopped Mirri was not the only one of her kind. But if this turned out to be true here on Phantasia, she knew this was not the case on other planets.

“Now that Mirri is with us let’s head south.” Alicia said. She decided she would wait to go get what her mother left for her in the frozen forest another time when it was just her and Blake.

Off to the side, Loeri pulled Mirri close and whispered: “Now that you are contracted with Alicia you will have a much better life. I was like you once as well. Now I have many friends.”

Loeri thought back to her lonely life she had trapped within the barrier. She spent so many years alone with only the small animals that ventured in but they ended up becoming her meals. Thinking back on those lonely days, Loeri wondered how she was ever able to cope with such a life. If not for Alicia, she wondered when she would have been able to escape from that fate. Loeri felt a connection with Mirri, not because of the contract that she had with Alicia which naturally gave the two a connection but because of the fact that they both experienced the same kind of solitude and were saved by the same person.

The group left the cave and slowly traveled south. To say their journey was a peaceful one would be saying too much. Currently, Rose and Starla were locked in a battle with a few demons. Everyone else was standing off to the side watching the battle. Alicia wanted them to gain as much experience as they could.

“Rose is not doing too bad, the fist techniques that you gave her, she has gone and improved to fit her fighting style.” Blake said as he analyzed the fight.

“Yes, Rose is doing well but Starla still stuck in her habit of saying stupid things while shouting out spell names. I wished she would stop. It’s basically announcing to the enemy every time you are going to attack.” Alicia massaged her temples, she had tried to get Starla out of this habit ever since the girl had learned to cast spells without needing words to help her visualize them.

“Looks like Starla is in for another lecture.” Annelia leaned over and whispered to Claire.

“Yes, it does… It’s like the tenth time on the same issue too…” Claire felt pity for Starla. Alicia was ruthless when it came to her lectures. Starla had cried many times after being lectured by Alicia. But they all knew she was doing it for their own good. If they wanted to follow her they needed to be up to par and have the abilities needed to fight alongside her. Each of them was only a step away from the god realm. Once they entered that realm they could finally strip away their mortal bodies.

The battle ended not too much longer after that and the two girls came walking back over sweating away. “Wow, that was tougher than I thought… who would have thought they would be so strong!” Rose complained.

“Yeah, that was…” Starla’s words got caught in her throat when she saw the look on Alicia’s face. It was at that moment she realized she was in for a lecture. She quickly lowered her head and walked next to Alicia not daring to look up.

Seeing how obedient Starla was acting, like a puppy who was just caught taking food from the trash can, made Alicia not know if she should laugh or cry. Letting out a sigh Alicia said: “As long as you know what you did wrong. You really have to stop with the shouting. If you need to say the name of the spell say it quietly so no one can hear.”

“Sorry…” Starla quickly apologized. She really couldn’t help it. After so many years growing up yelling out names of spells, it had become a habit to do so in the heat of battle. “Alicia, was it safe to bring Destiny out during our battle though?”

“Hmm? Of course, nothing would be able to touch her with me around.” Alicia said confidently.
