Chapter 455 Cap 453: Elf Queen Luthien Is Reborn(Chapter Preview)
With two days to go before we leave this village, Freya and my Familiars are going to the Temple of the World Tree.
When I get there I go straight to the marble platform where they\'ll be waiting for me.
"Are you sure you want to do this today?" (I)
"Yes, there is something I need to finish before you leave, it would be better if I were an Ancient Elf for that." (Luthien)
"Are you really going to need me and Freya for this?" (I)
"You are much stronger than the two of us together." (I)
"I know what you\'re worried about, but what\'s going to happen today has nothing to do with the strength of each of us." (Luthien)
"Unlike the awakening you did with Freya, what I need is just some of her blood and Freya\'s blessings." (Luthien)
"Yes, it already meets all the other conditions besides those last two." (Luth)
The World Tree spirit appears next to the Elf Queen, so she waves her hand causing the entire marble platform to glow brightly for a second before the platform becomes transparent revealing streams of multicolored energy flowing inside.
A faint multicolored glow seemed to add a touch of the divine to this place, I could feel a great presence of nature itself here.
"This will provide the energy of nature that you will need during the process of transformation and evolution." (Luth)
"That\'s my energy mixed with the energy of the environment itself." (Luth)
"How long will this process take?" (Luthien)
"For another Elf, it might take a few days or even a few weeks." (Luth)
"But for an Elf Queen like you, it should only take a few hours, maybe even less." (Luth)
"I\'m ready to start whenever you want." (I)
"I\'m ready too." (Freya)
"Let me explain how you guys are going to do that." (Luth)
We spent a few minutes listening to the step by step on what everyone was going to do, after which the water fountain in the center of the platform seems to be absorbed into the platform giving space for the Elf Queen to stand in the middle of the platform.
The Elf Queen kneels in the middle of the platform as Freya and I walk to stand in front of her, so Freya focuses her Ki, spirit energy, and mana into the crystal on her forehead.
This makes the crystal on her forehead glow brighter as the red crystal tree inside appears again, so Freya puts her finger on the crystal.
"I am Freya a daughter of nature, I choose you as my sister, may my power be the seed that gives rise to your power, may nature receive you as one more of her children." (Freya)
Freya\'s words cause a small crystal seed to come out of the red tree that is inside the crystal on her forehead, then with a finger, she guides this seed to the Elf Queen\'s forehead, and this seed enters the rectangular crystal on her forehead and creates strands of energy like roots within your crystal.
"I, as a son of the Blood Goddess Selene, grant you a spark of the divine so that you may be reborn as a daughter of nature, may my blood be the means for your rebirth." (I)
My words seem to awaken something inside of me, I feel the energy and presence of Goddess Selene coming from the Blessings I have spreading through my body, it makes something deeper inside me start to flow through my body.
I use my claws to open a wound in the palm of one of my hands, then those energies focus on that hand as I stretch my arm until my hand is on top of the Elf Queen\'s head.
When my blood came out of the wound it was glowing like a red liquid crystal, then it fell on the crystal on the Elf Queen\'s head which absorbed my blood and began to glow brightly.
At that moment the multicolored energy within the platform begins to flow towards the Elf Queen forming a cocoon of energy flowing around her.
"You guys did well, I appreciate that." (Luth)
"Everything went better than I expected." (Luth)
"The energy I felt earlier was..." (I)
"Yes, it seems the Goddess Selene helped a bit, but that doesn\'t surprise me, the Old Elves have always been a race that she respected for their connection to nature and natural law." (Luth)
"..." (I)
After the energy cocoon formed around the Elf Queen, I could feel the energy in my body returning to normal and the presence of Goddess Selene disappearing from within me.
The energy that came out of Freya beside me also returned to normal and when I turned to her I noticed that she was a little pale.
"Didn\'t you say this ritual wouldn\'t use our energy?" (I)
"And it didn\'t, Freya is just feeling the pressure to create a seed of power for Luthien." (Luth)
"She can\'t do that kind of ritual for a month." (Luth)
"Is she going to stay like this for a month?" (I)
"No, she\'ll be fine in a few hours, she just can\'t repeat this ritual for another month." (Luth)
"I\'m fine, master." (Freya)
"I\'m just a little tired." (Freya)
"If you want I can take you back on my back." (Ragnar)
"Thank you so much, Ragnar." (Freya)
After I\'ve done what we needed, I leave with the others, as soon as we get back I ask Sakura to take Freya to bed.
After that, I\'ll take care of a few more things we need to take care of before we leave in two days.
So at the end of the night, I go back to the top of the tree where we\'ve been living for the last few months to enjoy it while I can, the view of the World Tree with this beautiful starry sky is magnificent.
"This sight is always amazing no matter how many times I see it." (I)
"I\'m glad you like that too." (Luthien)
"Even after thousands of years, I can\'t get enough of this vision either." (Luthien)
When I look back I see a black-skinned Elf child just like Freya, with golden hair and silver eyes with a large diamond-shaped crystal on her forehead with a Golden Crystal Tree inside emitting a faint glow.
"You look beautiful, congratulations on your evolution." (I)
"Thank you so much, but this is all thanks to you and Freya." (Luthien)
"But I didn\'t come here just to thank you, I came to ask you to come to the World Tree to talk to me on the day of your departure, I have something for you." (Luthien)
