AUTHOR ~ ADITI {PipoRiruru}

At the entrance gate of the heavens the Queen welcomed them all and personally showed everyone their way to the place they were going to stay . The last one to arrive were the warriors from the winged tribe . As they entered the Queen said " You all are finally here {everyone greeted her} {Rise [ she said] } , I thought
something happened. I am glad that you all are safe and sound , here let me show your way to your mansion...
As the Queen took a glance at all of them and when her eyes met Vesper's she got lost in her hazel eyes . Y - Yo - You [She stammered in utter shock] why does your eyes look exactly like Athena ?? And why does your appearance is so similar to Athena??
Vespera looked at her completely confused about what she is saying and then unintentionally Lily interrupted them by saying that she was hungry , the queen gave them a graceful smile and said " you can have as much as food you want after you go to the
mansion ."
Vespera - We have our own mansion ??
Damein - Hey Ves shhh, don't be impolite [ he placed one of his fingers vertically in front of the lips , with the remaining fingers curled , while he touched Vespera with his other elbow ..]
The Queen again gave them a smile and said that it's fine as long as you all feel at home and yes you all have a mansion but remember not to mess around the mansion , it has many weapons that are hard to control and scriptures. It is the mansion of goddess of war Aster .
Vespera shouted in utter shock "WHAT??"
Queen said " Yes , one more thing near the mansion is the oldest Wutong tree where the baby prince is recuperating , soon he is going to take human form so make sure nothing happens ..
"YES"
Replied everyone by greeting her..
Damien asked the Queen that if the disciples from Pure Light can also stay with them as the mansion is very big . The Queen allowed all five of them to stay together .
"ALL OF THEM ENTERED THE MANSION STARRING AT ALL THE WEAPONS WITH THEIR MOUTH WIDE OPEN"
Annie , Vespera , Lily were hungry and asked the servants to bring them some tasty food ..
As all of them were eating Damien suggested that everyone should have a good rest before practicing in the evening . But Vespera was not sleepy and instead of having some rest she was roaming around the mansion . She saw a beautiful pond at the back of the mansion and decided to sit beside as she was getting bored . She was thinking about the little phoenix they saved along
the way here and if the little phoenix was okay.
Just as she was about to get up to leave for her room she accidently slipped and fell into the pond and fell unconscious .
When Vespera woke up she found that she was nither beside the pond or her room but in some strange place , it was a beautiful island with nothing around but water from all the four side and she was above a small piece of land with a strange big old tree , with
something shiny inside .
.

As she was starring at her surrounding a voice from her back came , { you are awake ?}
She hesitantly turned back to see who was behind her and she saw the Queen .
She stood up in a hurry and greeted her , she said " were you the one who brought me to this place ?"
The Queen replied with a smile "Yes"
Vespera thanked the Queen for saving her and asked about what kind of place is this ..
The Queen replied that this is the place where the baby prince is recuperating to take his human form .
Vespera replied with a small nod and was still confused that how she got here .
The Queen said that the pond Vespera fell into was nothing but just a illusion , she actually fell into the mirror pond and the big tree is the oldest Wutong tree .
The Queen warned Vespera to stay away from this place as in this world expect the king and the queen no one actually knows about this place .
Vespera nodded and told the queen to not to worry as she never breaks her promises .
The queen took Vespera out of the mirror pond to go back at her mansion , after that Vespera quietly went to her room and was lost in thoughts ...
During the evening time when everyone was ready for practice except Vespera as she was sleeping . Damien shouted in the middle of the courtyard VESPERAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
{Stop!} Lily screamed back at Damien while puling one of his ear .
As if she will wake up because of your scream , she won't wake up but you definitely will loose your voice .
Ah hurt , it hurts , let me go (said Damien while patting her hands. )
Annie and Vivan chuckles .
But why didn't she came for practice , did something happened to her ? {Annie asked }
Lily said that she must have been roaming around the mansion while everyone was sleeping and now she is sleepy , just let her sleep .
As everyone agreed and started practicing .
TWO DAYS LATER {at the day of banquet }
The whole heavens was in chaos as whenever a divine fire phoenix takes human form the way to heavens from the mortal relam opens up and divine light is bestowed by the real gods .
The king and the queen hurriedly went to the mirror pond but no one was there even the phoenix was not there .
The queens eyes were filled up with tears as she fell straight to the ground . The prince was missing . Each and every mansion was being searched by the army of green dragon and the water dragon . The queen suddenly realized that except her and the king only Vespera knows about this place . She marched up
straight to Aster's mansion to interrogate Vespera .
Vespera replied to the queen that she saw something shiny entering the pond and she thought the prince's life might be in danger so she followed and when she entered someone was trying to cast a spell on the prince and as she attacked the intruder he suddenly ran away and she first decided to check on
the prince instead of catching the intruder .
She also said that the prince's body was very weak to take up a human form but it was the correct time and there shouldn't be any delay so she decided to make a master servant pact to transfer some energy to help the prince .
The queen interrupted and said that now where is my son ? where is he , do you know { she said all of this in anger }.
Vespera said that " he was with me in the mansion and he also said that he was tired and wanted to have some rest" {LIES ALL OF THIS ARE LIES YOU ALL ARE JUST TRYING TO COMFORT ME }
The queen shouted in anger with tears in her eyes starring at Vespera .
Vespera interrupted the queen and said can you at least listen to me once , I did nothing to him he is safe and sound . Then where is he? why he is not coming out ? said the queen in a rage.
Also how can you make a master servant pact with someone way above your status ? huh?
Vespera - Status has nothing to do with life , someone's life is not important as compared to status .
GUARDS ! HOLD THEM , THEY TRIED TO Assassinate THE PRINCE , THE WINGED TRIBE WON'T MIND LOOSING SOME TRAITORS .
Stop ! Vespera interrupted . This has nothing to do with them {her friends } let them go I will bear the punishment alone .
You think you can bear the punishment ??Okay since you insisted , don't go back on your word , with this the Master servant pact will also dissolve .Said the queen .
Vespera closed her eyes when the queen attacked her , she got heavily wounded and the queen went for the second attack but the attack was defended by someone . It was defended by the prince . Vespera and her friends shouted { LITTLE PHOENIX}
Vespera used her energy and gave everyone a powerful blow with the help of her sword Bright Moon . As she held the dying prince with tears in her eyes .
The queen looked at Vespera in shock and guilt as she tried coming closer to Vespera and her son , Vespera pushed her away saying with a trembling voice { you don't deserve , no you don't deserve to touch him , you are the reasons of his current situation .}

NO , ITS IS NOT BECAUSE OF ME , IT IS BECAUSE OF YOU ,
IF YOU DIDN'T GO THERE NOTHING WOULD HAVE
HAPPENED {said the queen with teras rolling down from her checks }
Everyone in heavens came to see the chaos .
I will kill you to end this master servant pact so that I can help my son . Said the queen .

{NO IT WON'T , IT IS SAID BY THE OLDER MASTERS OF OUR SECT THAT HER MASTER SERVANT PACT AND SOME OTHER SPELLS HAVE SOME DIFFERENT POWERS , BY KILLING HER IT WON'T DISSOLVE THE PACT } said Damien.

No , impossible , I will kill you . { Saying this the queen again attacked Vespera until she was on the verge of death, on her last attack the prince suddenly stood in front of the queen and said with a trembling voice { she never harmed me infact she saved me twice , why didn't you ever listened to her , what she was trying to say , besides this you also killed her .

The prince turned to her and held her in her arms while crying he said { Little birdie you will definitely be okay I will help you }
Silly phoenix you can't help me , I am already about to die now , sixth senior , Lily sorry I won't be able to travel with you guys anymore . { said Vespera with a sad smile in her face...}

NO ! VES!! NO { Damien and Lily shouted with tears in their eyes }
They attacked the guards to free themselves and reached out for Vespera but they were too late.
Abby also arrived too late .
When she saw her princess dying in a fit of rage she attacked the queen and shouted do you even know who she is ??
She is the princess of the winged tribe , the most powerful fighter after her mother , she is the only one in the world with the power of recreation and destruction ..
She didn't even do anything . WHY?? WHY YOU HAVE TO DO THIS?? OUR QUEEN MOTHER ATHENA ALSO DIED BECAUSE OF YOUR FOOLISH INVESTIGATION... (Abby screamed with tears rolling down her cheeks..)
Hearing this the queen was in tears and she decided to let Vespera go through tribulations in the mortal relam for three times .
As she was sent to the underworld for her life tribulations the prince followed her and said to everyone that I will go with her in
all her life tribulations no matter how they end with me , the heavens has to pay a price because they wronged her ..

Vespera replied Silly Phoenix how can I take out this anger , hatred and my resentment to you ?
You can if you wish replied the phoenix with a soft smile ...
Damien took Lily and Abby back to the winged tribe , Vivan and Annie also requested to come along with them until Vespera returned ..
The king came to comfort the queen and said that he didn't knew about what was happening as he was busy with the banquet preparation but he was watching all of this chaos from the rooftop of the mansion with a smirk on his face ..
