LOGINI didn't need to open my eyes to understand where I was because I could feel hot waves slap my face, I was in the middle of ocean of fire with a 10 feet stone below my feet it was so thin that except where my foot was placed there was no space . Before i could accumulate to my surrounding I found stone beneath me was melting into the fire.
I stood there for few second and remembered what this chakra represents the Manipura Chakra, the seat of your power and transformation. In the same way that fire turns matter into heat and light, this is where you take what you've been given and make the best of it, and then some. Without a strong third chakra, we remain stuck in the sameness and drudgery of a passive life. Manipura is action, doing, going through the eye of the needle, breaking inertia.
So, I spread my hands and let myself free fall from the height because I needed to break the inertia to move forward and I have to accept everything even death as I already experienced it and it didn't scare me anymore.
And there was a gamble I was playing knowing that I was in my soul form so I had no body to burn and another reason I knew was that I could hear someone calling me from below that and it was urging me to follow him beneath the ocean.
I felt splash and it was so painful I felt a searing pain in my body but more than that I felt the pool of energy within me was on fire and I could just scream till my voice was hoarse.
That's when I heard his voice " Master you finally found me " it was a small bird with fierce red feathers on his body and there was a fire burning around it it looked like a phoenix bird I found in novels and magical Chinese dramas he was floating on my energy pool causing it to heat up. I tilted my face and it did the same copying my expression of confusion " You are so cute" I held him in my arms knowing that it would not burn me and I was right.
" what are you" was first question I could ask "master was your death caused by donkey kicking your head how can you ask such a stupid question " I was your little bird Flap-Flap in your previous life you found me after I went into hibernation due to curse from my parents for 50,000 years, you broke my hibernation when you accidentally kicked me when you were trying to make some guy escape from prison, I introduced myself to you as God of phoenix and you gave me this stupid name Flap-Flap"
He said all this in one breath and this was said with him Flapping his little wings and I could understand my self why I gave him the name Flap-Flap. I asked him " so you were my pet from previous life, what can you do for me" he looked at me with tears brimming in his eyes
" master why are you so selfish that every time you ask me for my value can't you take me for my cuteness and currently I am inactive as you soul is in between the journey from soul to deity and I could only take my energy from you, so as soon as you turn deity I can retain all my function of warrior bird, increase my size for your flying beast, in your previous life you didn't live long so I could not activate myself, So master please for all that is holy please survive and live long "
I could only roll my eyes and asked him "I need to know your value or else I can only throw you aside" I raised my eyebrow and started tapping my feet "do you know how to cross this dimension and how did I not burn in this ocean in previous test I felt I was getting my body back so why didn't it burn when I came inside it "
Again he tilted his head and looked at me stupidly " master why are you so stupid in this life did you drink too much forget me soup when you reincarnated as mortal" I just kicked him and he flipped outside the pool of energy and looked at me grudgingly
" ok ok let me live in this pool I will explain it to you, this pool is full of qi and I could heal and grow faster which will only help you, see I am such a selfless guy you have no value for me " he floated in the fire/ water for a while.When he saw my face was getting red he finally replied "master your body is not becoming mortal but turning into immortal so this fire did not hurt you and to get out of this ocean of fire open your eyes and look closely there is a cave which will help you" with that he ignored me and continued swimming
" oh by the way when you have to call me shout loudly Flap-Flap" were his last words echoing in my head as I found myself in ocean of fire again now I got it what was happening, due to pain of fire I reverted to my subconscious and this pain activated that weird bird. I looked for a while ocean of fire lost its heating effect on me finally I found the cave as I got near the cave transportation stone again vibrated and as soon as I entered it I crossed another dimension and entered my fourth test.
" there are only three maid where is the fourth maid Roma"."Roark you are dead now, you have placed last nail of your coffin in my hand" thought Morna but her look remained calm, with a pleasant voice she asked " Mr Roark I have been here not more than 3 weeks and in those days one week was spent in my test I didn't have time for your daughter, instead you know all about my Courtyard and me being Overlord's to be Queen you should have not placed your interest in my maid".She giggled seeing his pale face" now may I ask how do you know about my maid when I don't even know about your daughter". Roark was flustered still he replied " I have been in this underworld for very long time I know all about royal staff it is normal for me to know all about them, why are you hiding your maid, now it's your turn to answer"."I killed her" replied Morna very calmly Roark had a smile on his lip and was ready to pounce when Morna
Just as Morna entered inside the court with her entourage a loud scream was heard. Morna looked at the center where so called Lady Myra was crawling on the floor while screaming in pain. Morna let out a chuckle " I never expected dignified Young Lady Myra in this condition, what ever happened Excouncilman Roark" this was asked with a raised eyebrow and evil smirk on her lips which caused Overlord to smile while Roark lunging at her in rage.Her four guard and three maids stood in front of her in protection. When captured Roark released long stream of curses " you bitch, you did this, it's all because of you" Morna moved out of the shadows of guards went to Overlord's throne and confidently sat on his lap " How would I do this Excouncilman Roark I have never met your daughter before how could I do this to her"Roark let out a roar " because you were jealous and you gave her your poisonous chain this all happened because of you and my daughter
Next day Morna lazily slid out of the bed, she asked Rose to prepare water for her bath and her cloth, Rose bowed and went to complete her order after getting ready. She called for her maids. She sat on her seat like a queen with a smile lingering on her lips, this continued for half an hour where maid continued standing when a knock rang outside the chamber.Three burly man and one woman entered the chamber with huge sword hanging on their waist they all bowed down to Morna. If any one else would have seen this, they they would felt their jaw unhinged they were 4 royal guards of Overlord himself among the 12 guards that guard him. They loudly called out their name taller one was their leader his name was Tanner, muscled one was Big, short one was Leo and women was Andrea they bowed politely towards Morna.Morna looked at them for a brief time there was respect but not acceptance in their eyes but she didn't let it affect her as she will gai
Mary, Roma, Lily and Rose bowed in front of me while carefully masking their expression I smiled at them trying to bring them to ease but instead a flash of fear came to their faces. At that time Rose the chief maid could only imagine a smile on tiger's face while smiling at poor Bambi.Morna folded her hand over her lap and asked in the mild tone " I want to know all the things that happened in underworld while I was in other dimension Rose replied instantly " My lady there were many speculation on your success and some rumours were seen in between, that you have failed the test". She suddenly she lowered her eyes as the coldness Morna radiated made chills run down her spineMorna gave a cold smirk and asked"And what was the public reaction" Lily came forward and replied " My lady no one dared to say any negative speculation about you, even if someone said a word they were sent to two level below them by Overlord ".
" What do I have to do tomorrow, is it any different than mortal wedding" Morna was a curious little cat who wanted to know everything and how could evil fox....I mean evil Overlord not use this opportunity" tommorow we will marry under moonlight and you have to drink a bowl of fresh blood and I will suck your blood from your carotid" looking at her disgusted face Overlord burst laughing " I have to ask author in mortal world to stop dramatizing the Vampire culture, now see people have vivid imagination".Morna's face was agape in surprise "this wicked man".She started beating his chest " Evil you are a pure evil, wait until I will teach you a similar lesson" he pulled her in his arms then started kissing her eyes, nose, lips " you can try darling I am at your disposal" I was too busy enjoying his kisses when I felt a delicate chain in my neck I glimpsed down at it confused hanging on the chain was a huge amethyst stone violet in colour
Although Overlord didn't like this bird but he still had to be pleasant with guy for the sake of Morna so, he plucked the guy ignoring his pleas and Morna's reluctance held him in his palm and let his energy heal him from inside, he already knew what he did for Morna in the last Dimension where he risked his life just for her sake.Earlier Flap-Flap was anxious about what was he gonna do to him but then he felt an energy healing his old wound that he suffered while fighting with Lucas and his size was gradually increasing without any negative effect. After a while he opened his eyes to see he wasas big as humans, his size before Morna's death used to be that of a ship but this was not bad compared to his fist size shape , that's when he saw his reflection in the mirror" where is the beautiful redness of my feathers why am I all black with patches of red in between. Master he was jealous of my beauty and made me all ugly" Morna rolled her ey
