Freedom Planet: The Fire Garnet
Chapter 2: วิสัยทัศน์ (The Visions)
Meanwhile, as the Royal Magister prepared for his council with Lilac and her friends, Princess Pakārạng remained restless from the vision that the Fire Garnet has given her in the Fire Temple, having realized parts of the vision were part of the ancient prophecy, she left her Palace with a small escort and an offering of exotic flowers as a sacrifice to the altar. Hoping to find guidance from the gods to find the answer she was looking for, she entered the temple leaving two guards at the entrance and two guards next to her side. Casting her offering into the fire, the flowers made the fire's color lavender for a few seconds as she made her prayer. As she finished, she went into the room filled with religious scripts and ancient prophecies, knowing the right section she pulled out a black book with a red Saraburi text on it's cover.
สุราษฎร์ธานี พระราชวัง (Surat Thani Palace)
Princess Pakārạng: "This must be it."
Imperial Guardsman 1: "the Kār khād kārṇ̒ k̄hxng dwng xāthity̒ s̄īdả (the prophecy of the black sun)..."
The Princess opened the book, which told the story of what the people back then called "The Black Sun". According to legend a "Dark Sun" appeared in the sky long ago, it was black, round, and had a gold-like aura surrounding it. It was when the ancient race known as the Dragons appeared, the wildcats saw the Dragons as powerful immortal beings. But they weren't the only ones who came from "The Black Sun", a huge planet sized beast (known as the Demon of the Black Sun) came out of the Black Sun and prepared to destroy the world. The book said two powerful Dragons channeled their souls into a gemstone with the help of a brave young wildcat, and used their divine powers to drive the beast back into the Black Sun before sealing it. It then said the spirits of the Dragons then gave a gift from the gods to the brave wildcat infusing the Wildcat with the dragon's life force channeled into his blood to allow him and his descendants to use the gemstone's power should the Black Sun and the beast ever return. It said that the Wildcat had a vision of the beast prior to the Black Sun's sealing, returning from the planet's sun in the form of fire, and that two wildcats must engulf themselves in fire to release the spirits of the Dragons to destroy the beast and save the world from being destroyed. It is said those descendants of the Wildcat who touch the gem are given gifts to see into the future and have the power to create and control fire.
Princess Pakārạng: "I see, the Demon of the Black Sun is returning, but it doesn't answer everything that was in my vision, but I think I should bring this to my chambers, there could be more that I must learn from this."
Imperial Guardsman 1: "Yes your majesty."
The Princess and the guards left the room, walking down the Chambers of the temple.
Princess Pakārạng: (Lets just hope we will be ready for what is about to happen...)
The Princess returns to her room and places the book on the counter near a pot of flowers.
Shang Tu
Lilac finally arrives with her friends to begin a meeting with the Royal Magister, accompanied by General Gong and Neera Li.
Royal Magister: "I am glad you all have come."
Lilac and her friends bow before the Royal Magister.
Lilac: "Thank you for requesting your council with us, Royal Magister."
Royal Magister: "It is an honor, as I have stated in the letter to you, there has been some disturbing news from the south, Princess Pakārạng of Saraburi has sent me a message of her visions she received in the fire temple of Surat Thani."
Lilac and her friends quickly caught interest in the Royal Magister's words.
Royal Magister: "I was at first skeptical of the message until the message of the vision mentioned you in detail Carol, it was then I decided to request a council because of the revelation of this vision."
Carol: "Can we see the letter you got from the Princess?"
The Royal Magister gave General Gong the letter to give to Carol, the group came behind Carol to read the letter with her.
Carol: *smile fades* "Oh, that definitely doesn't look good..."
The expressions of Lilac and most especially Milla grew nervous along with Carol's, after discussing it together, the group have came to a decision.
Lilac: "We have decided we will accept the Princesses plea for assistance on your behalf Royal Magister."
The Royal Magister was relieved, and had General Gong give them a map to guide them towards their destination.
Royal Magister: "I am truly grateful for your decision, we have an airship prepared for your travels, we have our faith in you dragonblood, I wish you safe travels."
Lilac: "Thank you, Royal Magister."
Lilac and her friends bowed to the Royal Magister.
Neera Li: I will lead you to the airship, follow me."
Lilac and the Royal Magister's escort arrived at the airship to Saraburi, it was similar to Zao's airship but blue in color.
Neera Li: "This is your airship to travel south, from here you should be able to reach Surat Thani in about a day, I will leave you to your business."
Neera Li returns to the Royal Magister to inform him that they are deporting to Saraburi.
Milla: *excited* "Oh My Gosh, this is so cool, we get to go on another airship!"
Carol: "Come on guys, lets go for an adventure!, last one on the ship is a rotten egg!"
Lifting off from the docks, the blue Airship began sailing off into the sky.
Lilac: *thinks to herself* (Something about that letter from the Princess is really getting to me, a beast emerging from the sun?, We should talk to the Princess to get a better understanding of this, the situation could be very serious...)
