Supremacy Games

'Don't bother with her.' Selphie snorted in annoyance, 'As long as we have my mom's permission, she can't do anything to stop us.'

'I hope so.'

In a brief moment, Selphie and Felix reached the end of the corridor...It was gate forged out of white vines stacked on each other, resembling a piece of fabric.

There were two old elves with long white hair and beard sitting next to the gate.

They were drinking tea while playing a board game that resembled chess but with the different looking pieces.

"Morning, elders." Selphie gave a formal royal greeting and Felix copied it immediately.

"Is that him?" One of the elders asked without bothering to lift his eyes from the board.

"Yes." Selphie nodded.

"You may come in." The other elder permitted calmly while moving a piece on the board.

The moment the piece landed on the board, the white vines started to withdrew away until the gate was wide open.

Those two were the life essence fountain's guardians, and they listen to no one but Lady Yggdrasil.

That's why Queen Alfreda didn't bother to talk to them but went straight to Lady Yggdrasil, knowing that if Selphie told the truth, she wouldn't be able to stop them.

If they lied, the elders wouldn't let them step a foot near the fountain.

"Much appreciated elders."

Without delay, Selphie pulled the confused Felix inside and watched the vines return to their previous position, sealing the entrance shut.

Before Felix could ask about the elders' identity, his breath was stolen away by the divine and dazzling appearence of the hall.

It shouldn't really be called a hall but a small taste of what paradise should look like.

The walls, ceiling, and ground were completely covered in sea of bewitching colorful flowers...All of them seemed to be kneeling to the center of the hall, defying the laws of the universe.

Without needing to guess, the life essence fountain was in the center of the hall, appearing neither majestic nor dignified.

It was a mere puddle of crystal clear water that was reflecting the sun rays on Felix's face.

The light was coming out of an opening in the ceiling and was focused only on the puddle of water, bestowing it with a veil of grace and serenity.

"So, this is the life essence fountain..." Felix mumured as he approached it, "I thought it will be an actual fountain."
