Chapter 331: The Seven Light Guardians

"So you met another ancient guardian by chance and he advised you not to use your powers in public?" Leela concluded and raised the question while staring at Annalise as if the latter was either a prodigy or a complete idiot.

Annalise slowly nodded her head in affirmative as her gaze shifted across all her friends and her husbands whom she had just revealed the reason of her not using magic to save herself on the night of attack.

They all were huddled in the cozy section of the living room in front of the huge fireplace while a strong snowfall was ongoing on the outside. The moment they were back in the Castle, the regular snowfalls and chilly weather was also back, which again made Annalise wonder if the Sky Kingdom actually used magic to stop it from snowing during the three days of festival.

"Oh stars, Annalise!"

Leela’s exasperated words pulled Annalise out of her thoughts and made her look at the woman in confusion who had both her hands placed on her hips while she looked at Annalise as if she was looking at a child.

"What is it?" Annalise asked while sharing a quick look at others but no one said anything at all.

"How come you always end up meeting these ancient people out of nowhere? And how come you always end up trusting them?" Leela pointed out the main problems in Annalise’s story about her encountering a total stranger on the night of Winter Midnight Ball right before the attack.

"I don’t know! They just... I just end up meeting them..." Annalise had no clue how to answer the first question. Even she wondered sometimes why she always end up meeting people whom the world hadn’t seen for ages. "And to answer your second question, you all know that I can sense when the other person is lying or having bad intentions toward me. Elaron gave me no reason to doubt him or his intentions."

Once again none of the men spoke a single word but as for Leela, the woman wasn’t the least bit pleased with Annalise’s answers.

"I don’t care about all that, Lisa. The only thing that I know and care about is the fact that this Elaron guy could have been a threat and you just listened to his advise of not using your powers even when you were in great danger. What if your mates didn’t get there on time? What if you got hurt way badly? How could you..." Leela trailed off as she tried to catch her breath and calm herself down.

Annalise stood up and approached Leela before taking hold of her hands and speaking, "I know you are worried for me, but I trust my instinct, it has never judged anyone wrong. As for not using magic, that’s because I did agree with what he said. There are few people who knows about my powers and if keeping it a secret from our enemies can give us an upper hand, then that’s not a bad bait, right?"

Of course this bait would only work if Annalise could reach the highest potential of her powers before it could be too late.

There was deep silence following her words before Elijah finally spoke - "Not to be rude or anything, Annalise, but despite your affinity to light element, you still have a long way to go in order to master your powers. You will need to work super hard for that."

"I know." Annalise muttered with a sigh. She wasn’t afraid of working hard even more but there was no clue how long it would take for her to master all the elements. People practice and cultivate for centuries to master just one element, compared to that, Annalise barely had any time left in her hands.

"Let’s not worry too much about that. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself." Damien was immediately beside her to stop Annalise from overthrowing things.

"Isn’t there a way to summon that Elaron guy? He sounds like someone who can provide us with some insight." Kenric questioned and his gaze shifted between Annalise and Valerius as if he was expecting a response from either of those two.

"We can." Annalise answered as a sense of excitement and anticipation took over her. She too believed that Elaron could provide them with some information or guidance that could prove really helpful to them. "He’s the guardian of Forgotten Magic. All we need is to use a forgotten spell and he will appear... at least that’s what he said."

Everyone shared glances as almost all of them were looking forward to the idea of meeting this Elaron guy.

"Then... do any of us know a forgotten spell or something?" Leela asked and her gaze was fixed on Valerius considering he was the best when it came to spells.

Before the Winter Prince could have responded, three more figures appeared in the room - Sir Niles, Silas, and Pristine.

"Maybe we can help you with that." Sir Niles offered as the three of them settled down on the empty seats. "I would also like to meet an old acquaintance after all this time."

"You all know Elaron?" Marley questioned.

"Not all of us. Just Sir Niles." Pristine answered with a little shrug.

"He was one of the seven light guardians who worked for the Late Light Fae Queen. He was a friend... but we haven’t seen each other in the past ten thousand years." Sir Niles revealed and his eyes carried almost a painful and sad look.

"You are saying that there are seven of you guardians out there?" Leela asked with her eyes opened wide in shock. But she wasn’t the only one surprised. Sir Niles was a very powerful seelie fae and if there were six more faes out there like him, then that could change almost everything.

Another deep sigh left Sir Niles lips as he slowly shook his head in denial. "There used to be seven of us... but only four of us survived the downfall of our Realm. The other three... they died while protecting the Late Light Fae Queen and our realm."
