Chapter 346: The Tree of Elements (Part Five)
Right! At first, only two magical elements existed - light and darkness. Later on, the element of light created the elements of water, air, and earth, while the element of darkness created the elements of fire and shadow.
"You found the tree and unlocked your true potential with the help of elemental magic essence that you just absorbed," the faery lord said. "You must now know that this destiny was not foisted on you. You are the right person to accept it. You’ve proven that today. You can joke around all day, Lady Annalise ...but I know what it’s like to pretend to fit into the world you’ve been given. Deep down...you will never be happy unless you can access the magical world and reach your potential. The late light fae queen gave you her magic, but now—it’s yours."
A chill went through Annalise as she took in his deep and heavy words. "What is my potential then? Am I born to carry the element of light?"
"Your destiny might be more specific than that," the faery lord said. "To be someone worthy to control the element of light is no small thing. It is an honor bestowed by the stars. In the end, the greatest honor is to go beyond that. Not to do what’s expected, but what’s unexpected."
His words were like a riddle that hardly made any sense but that was how faery answered questions directed their way.
When neither of them spoke for a while, the faery lord broke the silence - "It’s time for me to take my leave. Have a safe journey ahead."
She didn’t even get to open her mouth to stop him before the man disappeared from her sight as if he was never there in the first place.
"Annalise..." Esmeray was immediately by her side as soon as the faery lord disappeared, and because of him, Annalise was able to pull herself together and focus on the important matter they had at their disposal.
She turned her attention back to the tree. Whatever was going on, she knew that her fate had led her here in the first place. Now she had a little more understanding of why.
