Tales Of The Supremes 81 Deeper Than You Thought 1

A lady was gracefully advanced towards the high back chair where a man sitting comfortably with a crown on his head.

"Salamuyak pays respect to Sultan Alab," the lady kneeled down holding the edge of the long urbane skirts of her gown.

"Don't be so formal. Call me father. There's only two of us here." Sultan Alab chuckled. His daughter grew a lot.

"Yes, father." The lady curved her lips slightly.

"How was it?" Sultan brimmed with antic.i.p.ation.

"Kalipsi was no doubt strong." Salamuyak knew how powerful the black-cloak men they have encountered inside the cave but he personally killed it by himself. But she hid the truth to his father.

She twisted the story a little bit. She reported that the strongest beast they have encountered was killed by Kalipsi alone as they let him do it. "But I haven't seen Tala uses his power," Salamuyak added.

The Sultan became silent for a moment. According to the elders that with the two, Tala managed to s.h.i.+eld a powerful attack from a disciple of Far Eastern Academy and Kalipsi was no doubt strong as his daughter saw his power with her own eyes. He decided to look closely towards the two youth and his daughter volunteered.

"If there are unusual things about those two, report it to father immediately, okay?" Sultan patted the shoulder of his daughter.

"Yes, father."

"Do you have something to do?" The Sultan asked.

"Nothing much. Why did you ask?" Salamuyak responded respectfully.

"I hope to dine with you. Can you do that for this father of yours?" Sultan hung a smile on his face.

"Of course father." Salamuyak br.i.m.m.i.n.gly responded. They eat together in a rare moment, so of course, Salamuyak wouldn't waste this opportunity to eat with her father again. Sultan unhurriedly ordered the servants to fetch some food for them as they leisurely chatted.

Sun pa.s.sed through an open window, illuminating a dimly light room, revealing a young man-like figure with his braided hair hung on his back.

Ten pills circled around him whilst a force kept it floating. Faint fluctuations of his energy slowly subsided and the pills stopped and gathered in front of the young man.

He opened his eyes revealing his deep black pupils. Slowly raising his hand, he picked one of the pills and examined it.

"Not bad," he murmured.

The pill was the inferior pill he has concocted so far. He intentionally made that quality in order to hide his true ident.i.ty.

He materialized a bottle and put the pills inside.

He got up and went out to his room, striding towards a certain residence.

The young man planned on sneaking inside. He was confident that no one will be able to see or catch him, but he immediately brushed off that idea thinking that his reason for coming doesn't need to be concealed.

When he arrived at his destination, guards of the owner of the residence blocked his way in.

"This is a private residence of 1st elder. Do you have any appointments for him?" One of the four guards asked politely.

Though they didn't know the little man, their actions always reflect on their boss. As 1st elder was a kind person, they were tasked to be kind too by the right hand of the master of the house.

The young man fell silent for two seconds before he replied, "I don't have."

The guards fell silent for ten seconds before they ask, "Sorry, young lad. We can't let you in."

Understanding them, the lad nodded and turn around. Before he can step forward, another guard asked, "May we know your name? So that we will able to notify the first elder that you came here."

The lad faced him. "I'm Tala." He replied.

"Ta... Tala!" Guards were stunned. They haven't thought that they almost shoo him away.

1st elder personally notified them to let Tala and Kalipsi in if ever they came to seek his presence.

One of the guards rubbed his head and said, "We're sorry for being incompetent. We have not recognized you. If you don't mind?" Just as his last word fell, he bowed down and gestured his hands of letting him in.

Tala fell confused, but he eventually entered the residence. 'I wonder of what did he says to them?'

Another guard accompanied him inside making it easier to locate 1st elder.

The guard knocked on the door of a library of the house. "1st elder, Tala has come seeking your presence."

The two hadn't received a response. It seemed like the library was deadly silence. The guard was going to knock again, when finally, they heard the elder saying, "Let him come on."

The guard opened the door and gestured Tala to walk inside.

Tala found the elder sitting on his wooden chair. She approached him and immediately materialized a bottle and put it on the table in front of the elder.

"I want to sell this."

1st elder curved his lips and reached for the bottle. Just as he opened the lid, the energy flowed out from inside. The energy he has only feel towards the astral energy pill; a pill for advancing to astral master.

The smile on his face was slowly replaced by puzzlement. He tilted the bottle and scrutinized one of the pills.

Its l.u.s.ter reflected in his eyes as he could feel the cold feeling coming from the pill.

"This is...!" 1st elder couldn't contain his excitement. Though the pill wasn't suitable for him, there was a family who possesses the water elements.

"With this quality, I think this will reach a thousand silver pilancitos." 1st elder couldn't help but admire the youth.

Tala couldn't care much about money, but she needed funds to bought the medicinal ingredients to concoct pills for her comrades. There were ingredients that she couldn't obtain without investing much time. In order to thrift time, she decided to sell pills.

"I know an auction house that will open tonight."

Tala nodded as she shoves the bottle to him.

"I will personally go there. If you want, you can come with me. There might be things that may interest you." 1st elder suggested.

Tala didn't hesitate to nod. That was her chance to buy medicinal plants if ever the auction house has.

"Alright. I will send my subordinate to your residence tonight."

1st elder waved his hand and the bottle vanished. He looked at the drawer under his table. Visible hesitation decorated his face.

Just as Tala was about to bid farewell, he deeply inhaled and parted his lips, saying, "I have something to show you." As he says so, he opened the drawer and presented a wooden box to Tala.

He slid it towards Tala. "My subordinate found it near the site where I was ambushed."

He stopped explaining seeing Tala hold and looked at the crystal.

After five seconds, Tala deactivated her holy eagle sight and put back the crystal. "What do you think?" She wanted to hear his opinion first before she speaks about her conclusion.

1st elder startled at first seeing Tala already putting back the crystal. 'It was just five seconds at most after he picked it up, how could he examine it that easy?'

He needs to use the wooden reflection plate in order to confirm his conclusion, but the child just touches it!?

He told his conclusion putting emphasized on 2nd elder's anomaly.

Tala felt something was amiss to the book he was describing. She asked, "Do you have the book?"

1st elder sensed something not good, but unfortunately, he hasn't taken possession of the book. It was on the hand of the 2nd elder. He shook his head.

"Do you remember anything written on it aside from this crystal?"

Anything ancient was important history for there was always be a clue or more for completing the history of the world.

If she was able to complete the story of the world, she might find a way to reverse what will happen in the future and what happened to her.

Why and how she able to come back to the past!?

Who is that man?

Does the scepter of Head Araw really from an Angel?

Tala has so much to know.

1st elder searched for his memory about the book. Remembering something, he fetched out a quill and a paper and started to write it down.

Because the writings were impossible for him to read, he could only remember fragmented information, but a symbol was deeply ingrained to his mind.

He draws six circles intricately entangled to each other surrounded by wavy lines. In between these circles were dot mark. It has some symbols but he was unable to memorize it because it was complicated.

He showed it to Tala. Pointing the s.p.a.ce in between each circle, he explained, "There are complicated symbols. No.. more like writings written in these s.p.a.ces. I can't remember it because it was complicated."
