Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 271: The Girl Behind The Looking Glass Part Two

The man nodded and motioned for Mei to continue forward. Mei took a few steps forward before stopping and turning to the old man, bowing her head. "I have yet to thank sir for the cultivation methods. Because of you, I was able to venture out into this world faster in hopes of finding a way to return to my home world."

The old man smiled and thought for a moment. "When you reach the immortal realm and go to the upper plane, you will find what you are looking for at the border of fire and ice. Only there will you find a way to traverse time and space."

Mei's eyes widened and a big smile formed on her face. Tears welled up in her eyes. This was the best news she had heard in such a long time. Now she would work even harder at her cultivation and reach the immortal realm as quickly as possible! Not able to stop her tears Mei bowed her head as she sobbingly said: "Thank You! Thank you so much for telling me this news!" 

"It's nothing. That place is very dangerous. So much so that even the peak immortal emperors dare not venture there. So take your time. Enjoy this world. Learn everything you can from it before returning. You must have realized your body has not grown right?" The old man asked with a smile.

Mei lifted her head and looked at the old man. Her eyes were still full of tears. "Yes, I haven't aged at all it seems." 

"What brought you here was most likely an Omni Box. This object will transport a person between two places. Anything that was on that person from the day they were transported will be frozen in time. They will never age or be affected by the passing of time. That is until they return to their own world. And when they do return, time will be different compared to the world they were last on. As to say, millions of years may pass on this world but only a day, weeks or months could have passed on your original world. So my dear. Do not worry. And enjoy this experience to its fullest. Now go and touch the orb. I will wait for you here." The old man said reassuringly. He was overstepping his bounds but he decided to give the girl ray of hope. So that she would not be wasting away trying to find something on this lower plane that did not exist. It was best for her to grow stronger without being tied down to having to search for something. 

Mei, once again bowed and thanked the old man, she wanted to ask his name but felt that he would not tell her even if she asked so she turned around and walked over to the orb. The orb was pure white and sat on top of a pedestal. She reached out and touched the orb only to be given a start as it glowed brightly. The light shot up into the air in front of her forming a rectangle. What she saw next stunned her even more. Moving pictures began to appear in front of her. "It's a video!"

Mei was shocked but sadly she couldn't understand what they were saying. But she knew the language was Chinese! The image showed a little Chinese girl running around laughing. Her jet black hair flowed in the breeze as she laughed and played. The person behind the camera was also laughing and seemed to be called the girl Chun'er. Mei could only guess that this was the girl's name. 

The images changed many times. from the girl playing to the little girl being in the hospital. Then these images changed again where the girl seemed to be searching for food ina forest on her own. Her cheeks were sunken in. but this time she could understand the girl as she spoke. The pictures continued to flash by as it showed the girl from the time she met her master too when the master became her mother. It then changed to her cultivating and meeting many new people along the way. The battles she fought as well as her losing it all. Like her, she was once again transported away to another world. 

The images continued on until they finally reached a stopping point. There was no end to the story, it seemed as if the story of the little girl should have continued on. Trying to wrap her head around everything she could only come to one conclusion. She turned to look at the old man who was walking up to her with a smile and asked: "She's the one I will meet at some point in the future?"

"If that is the path you choose to take then yes. She is the one. These cities are the only places you are able to see who the Origin is and learn a bit about her. Even the Origin has a hard time remembering things. You could consider these things as memory fragments of the Origin. Which life of the Origin they are I do not know. The Origin soul will roam for thousands of years before finally being reincarnated. But this does not mean that they will immediately start on their path to greatness. They have to be on the right world with the correct mindset. Only the right and left hands are allowed to know who the Origin truly is. Even the Origin themself is restricted on what she is allowed to know. But the right and left hands are different since they have the choice to assist the Origin. If they choose not to assist the Origin then everything they know about the Origin will be wiped from their minds. I will take my leave now. You should go as well, your friends are waiting." The Old man swiftly disappeared leaving a very confused Mei. 

Mei let out a sigh and felt a heavy pressure on her shoulders. Trying to clear her thought Mei muttered: "I was trying to put this all into the back of my mind! Aw well For now, I will just go meet up for the rest and think about this mess later on."
