Ayami.

“Yes. Faire dust, weren’t they extinct?” I asked again

“Yes, they are extinct in the books, but when they were endangered because of the Malachite attacks, the royals formed a pact with them, to keep them safe” she explained

“But they chose to hide it from other humans, only the ones they choose were allowed to protect them. And so, they became extinct on the books. Right now, there are enough colonies of them to say they aren’t endangered or extinct. But they want it to remain like this.”

“whoa” I was speechless

“How did you find this place?” I asked

“Nuh uh. not me alone, me and Kai.” She said “we only came here once. We read about the pact with fairedust from a book in this library.”

She looked around, and let out a whistle.

One tiny bright sparkle came up to her circling her from head to toe.

She chuckled and extended her hand. The bright sparkle sat on her hand.

Kayda looked at me gesturing me to come near.

I looked at the small creature sitting on her hand, it had a big mushroom hatlike structure on its head, two tiny dots for eyes with two tiny hands and legs with a smile.

“It doesn’t have a nose?” I asked Kayda

“I used to wonder that too, doesn’t look like they have them, since they don’t talk to anyone except pure earth wielder, they are the only one who can understand their language.” She explained

 “But they are much more civilized to understand our language, watch this”

“Meya, can you bring me the books that contains the past of the dragon souls and the ones about the empire of Celestia.” She asked the fairedust in the cutest baby voice I have ever heard her speak. It nodded with a smile before circling around us both leaving sparkles along.

It doesn’t have any wings but it can fly, leaving golden sparkles along its way.

 It does look small but I underestimated its strength.

The fairedust single-handedly brought 5 huge books by simply pointing her fingers and set the levatating books neatly on the side of the table 

“Good job Meya” she said to it as the fairedust gave a smooch on her cheek and proceeded to do the same on me. A sense of warmth spread across my body when it touched my cheek

“Oh my god” I gasped

“What?” she panicked

“What about when they need us to go back for the ritual.” I asked

“Well, it will take a lot of time, don’t worry. And I brought my phone with me so kai will call before he comes here.” She said as she took the phone from her small skirt underneath the overlapping fluffy one and kept it on the table.

“Okay then let’s start our investigation.” I cheered

We took a look at the first book

“The History Of Celestial Powers” she enunciated

She opened the book, its pages were brown indicating its age. The page had a huge picture of a white dragon with a subtitle ..

‘The celestial dragon’

“This is it, I guess” I stated as she nodded

“The celestial dragon came to our world in vows to protect it from the corruption of malachite shaders .The seven kings, helped the dragon who was weak and frail upon its arrival in our world.” She read from the book

“The dragon admired the kind gesture of the humans. Knowing that he couldn’t survive for long, the dragon broke its own soul into SEVEN,

AIR, FIRE, WATER, EARTH being the powers that was adapted from our world and,

STRENGTH, REALITY AND CELESTIAL, out of which celestial being the dragon’s own soul which was connected to another soul called THE DARK SOUL.”

“All the powers come with a consequence; the wielder should ensure their sanity of mind more than anything. Losing one’s own mind will cause the corruption of the soul. The corrupted souls attract malachite shaders and can be easily manipulated and absorbed by them.”

We both glanced  at each other 

“The wielder of the power may or may not have the soul of the dragon , as the magic will flow from one generation to the next, the soul may present itself only on the ones it deems worthy.”

“Ones a wielder has the soul presented within himself, his magic will become limitless. The one who doesn’t possess the soul will eventually get tired ,the overuse of power may even cause critical effect upon their life.”

“Welp, that didn’t go well. The only soul left is the celestial, the rest are all corrupted.” I stated

“Out of all the souls, the celestial soul wields the strongest resistance to corruption as the soul itself is connected to the dark soul, a part of the creation of malachite shaders” she continued

“Malachite shaders, formed by the dark soul, grew because of the belief :

          ‘Where light exist,  darkness shall exist too

 The dark soul was taken from them to weaken them, although that doesn’t seem to affect them much. But the usage of other celestial powers creates an unmeasurable impact on them when they doesn’t possess their soul.”

“The celestial soul has been awakened in only two people, The King Alaric of kingdom Celestia, the first wielder of celestial soul, whom the dragon deemed as the worthiest of them all to hold its soul. And.” 

… she paused and shot a glance at me who was listening every word of it like my life depended on it.

IT REALLY SEEMS LIKE IT DOES.

  “And Princess Kayda, daughter of king Emeric and queen Amira, ruler of Celestia” she continued. My heart pounding in my ears as the flashback of nightmares started playing in my head

“Princess Kayda’s celestial soul was separated from the dark soul, which is assumed to be the trigger for her soul’s corruption”
