Freedom Planet: The Fire Garnet

Chapter 1: ภาระหน้าที่ (The Errand)

วัด ไฟ, สระบุรี (Fire Temple, Saraburi)

Imperial Guardsman: "Lord Aawut is awaiting you inside the Gemstone Chamber your Majesty, we will make sure your counseling goes uninterrupted."

Princess Pakārạng: "Thank you"

The Guards open the doors to the fire temple, inside it was a massive orange, red, and gold chamber room. A massive fire altar was at the end of the room where worshipping and sacrifices to the gods were made. Walking towards the end of the huge temple room in her red and gold royal dress, she moves towards the right of the altar where a stairway leads to the gemstones chamber where the gemstone was kept, the guard near the gemstone chamber's door opened the door and bowed to the Princess as she walked by, the door then closed gently behind her leaving a small echo. Seeing her loyal Lord Aawut standing near the gemstone facing towards her, the Princess begun expressing her discontent about the marriage alliance proposal.

Princess Pakārạng: "You want me to accept their proposal?, event after they murdered my whole family?"

Lord Aawut: "I understand how you feel your majesty, but our nation has been in a great depression from this division, and If we don't reunify the people of the nation we will be left wide open for an invasion from threats growing outside the nation."

The middle aged, grey wildcat wore black garment, and had scars on his face he had received during his years of service as an Imperial Guardsman to the Ankara Royal family. He turned facing the gemstone with his hazel eyes seeing the garnet's red-orange glow begin, the gems swirly streaks of Red, Orange, and Black make it look like inside there was fire flowing through the gem.

Princess Pakārạng: "What is happening?"

Lord Aawut: "The gem wants to show you something, I think you should touch it to see what it wants to tell you."

Princess Pakārạng: "You speak as If the gem is alive..."

Lord Aawut: *smiles* "Why yes, yes I did didn't I?"

Pakārạng's poker face begins to deteriorate, slightly showing a sign of being disturbed by Aawuts spoken words. Walking up to the Fire Garnet, she places her hand on top of the gem feeling the gems warm surface. As she touched the gem, she began seeing flows of fire covering her hands before being shown visions from the power of the gem of a Wildcat who looked just like her, but wearing completely different clothes and riding a motorcycle, a massive spaceship being blown from above the planet's atmosphere, seeing herself being engulfed in flames screaming with her eyes glowing orange, and a massive fiery beast emerging from the planet's sun. When the vision ended, her expression went to complete terror, gasping while stepping back seeing the fiery glow on her hands fade.

Princess Pakārạng: "Wha-what was... that?!"

Lord Aawut: "A vision, it is what the gemstone wanted to show you."

The Princess took time to calm down and collect her thoughts, figuring these are visions of the future

Princess Pakārạng: "I see, I feel what it feels, it wants me to accept the marriage, to save us all, I have seen terrifying things beyond belief in it's vision, I will do what I has to be done."

Lord Aawut is relieved to hear her acceptance to the marriage alliance.

Princess Pakārạng: "We need to notify the Royal Magister of this revelation as soon as possible, terrible things are coming and we will need as much help as we can find."

Lord Aawut: "The Messenger is in the royal palace, his name is Arthit, he will help you send a messenger straight to the Royal Magister in Shang Tu, he just returned from doing business in Songkhla, you'll find him near the entrance."

Princess Pakārạng: "Thank you Lord Aawut."

Lord Aawut: "It is my pleasure, Princess Pakārạng."

Lord Aawut bent his head as respect to the Princess, letting her exit ahead of him, the Princess then returned to the Royal Palace in Surat Thani, where she approached the messenger in the entrance hallway. The messenger and company bowed in front of the Princess, as they paused their business to listen to what the princess had to say.

Princess Pakārạng: "I'm here to send an urgent letter for Arthit to deliver."

Messenger Arthit: "I am at your service your majesty."

Princess Pakārạng: "Take this message to the Royal Magister in Shang Tu with haste, this is an emergency."

Messenger Arthit: "As you wish your majesty."

Arthit bent his head to the Princess as respect, then took off in a hurry to deliver the Princesses letter to Shang Tu. In the following day Arthit sent the letter to the Royal Magister, which told about the Princesses vision and urgently requested the Magister find help for the tribulation that is coming.

Shang Tu

Royal Magister: "I see, I know of the one her vision has shown her, I will honor the Princesses request."

Arthit stands relieved by the Magister's acceptance, bowing in front of the Magister.

Messenger Arthit: "Thank you Magister, this is a great honor!"

As the messenger rushed back to Surat Thani to deliver the good news, the Royal Magister called in General Gong.

Royal Magister: "General Gong, I need you to send a message to Lilac, take this letter and ensure you deliver it safely."

General Gong: "Yes your excellency!"

In an instant, General Gong rushed to gather a small search party with Neera Li to track down Lilac and her two friends, Carol and Milla. As Lilac and her friends were in the midst of one of their adventures through the nearest town to their tree house, they managed to find them in time to deliver the message from the Royal Magister urgently requesting their counsel in Shang Tu. Interested in the message, Lilac and her friends accepted the request.
