prelude
Atlantis, the Island of Air, is located more than 12,000 feet above sea level.
Atlantis, the landscape is beautiful, rocky valleys are strange, large and small lakes, covered with them. White sky city, floating above the lakes, rippling water waves, refracting the early morning sunlight.
“Sister Bing, has the princess woken up yet?” The maid who stayed by the temple door asked.
Ice shook his head and gently covered the door to the temple, quietly standing guard by it.
The maid said grimly, “At the age of fifteen and reaching maturity, the Princess is about to shoulder the future of the entire Illusory Realm, alas!”
Half a year ago, the Red Star fell and died, which was regarded as a great evil omen by the illusion world. The Princess, the only girl in the Magic Kingdom who inherited the royal blood, entered the Heavenly Dream Palace with determination after bathing and purifying herself.
Since the ancient times of the gods, the women of the royal family of the Magic Kingdom have been endowed with the special ability to foresee the future. With the life energy of a virgin, they can tap into events that will happen in the future.
The maid continued: “The successive queens, when using this ability, will not happen such a thing, at most only weak body some, never happened unconscious situation, today is already the seventh day.”
“Bang!”
The maids called out excitedly, “The princess is awake!” They pushed open the door of the palace and saw the princess who fell on the floor, and hurriedly helped her to sit next to the bed.
“Princess…!” The lady-in-waiting had just called out, but she was stunned by what she saw in front of her.
Only to see the princess’s newly opened eyes, unfocused and dull, especially as if she was blind.
” Ice, Himyan, is that you guys?” The princess asked with a telepathic transmission.
Himalyan reflexively screamed in his heart: “Princess, your… your eyes…!”
The princess calmly said, “Don’t worry! I’m fine, because of the excessive vision of the future, so that I lost sight, hearing, as well as voice. Luckily, my magic power is still there, I can talk with my spiritual power, otherwise, I might not be able to handle it and go crazy.”
Him-yen cried, “Princess…”
The Princess said in a generalized manner, “Don’t cry, Ice! You immediately inform the Queen and the ministers that I want to tell them what I saw in my dream; Himiko go and ask the Sage of Time to come here. In addition, Ice, Himiko, I have an important task to entrust to you!”

The Princess said heavily, “The mission given to you this time is related to our future. In my dream, I saw that the world will soon end. In it, there are three things that will affect the development of this matter.
In my dream state, I could only make out that one of the pieces was a black bead…”
Himiko said in amazement, “What? A dream that even the princess can’t see through?”
The princess continued, “I need you to find these three things!”
Ice calmly asked, “How are we going to go about making sure those things are what we’re looking for?”
The princess paused and said, “In my dream, I saw that that thing seemed to resonate with Atlantis’s royal underworld pearl, Asch. Okay, you guys take off your clothes, I’m going to beat the Underworld Pearl Asch into your bodies.”
Himiko blushed and glared at the Sage of Time who was looking at them colorfully, and said in confusion, “Can’t we just take the bead with us? Why do we have to put it inside?”
The Princess replied: “You will be traveling through time and space this time, and if there is no living thing wrapped around the Pearl of the Underworld, it will dissolve in time and space. Moreover, the pearl of the underworld has the quality of providing the energy of living things, which will be of great help to you in your mission, well, don’t waste time, come over quickly!”
With a pout and another hard glare at the Sage of Time who was watching them, Himiko Yan shed her clothes and walked over to the princess.
The princess was seen to strike two beads of shining blue light into their navels.
The princess breathed out and said, “Well, Sage Toki, they are ready to go. Please send her to the lower east – the land of dragons!”
※
There was a heavy air in the palace of Celestial City. The Princess, supported by her maids of honor, slowly stepped into the palace. After a moment of silence, the Queen said with a heavy voice: “Son, let’s begin…”
※
Himalyan asked, “Is this…?”
Ice calmly replied, “Mid-air.”
Himalyan: “Woah… ～～～～～～～～ Damn old man, what kind of Time Sage is this? You’ve got us hanging by a thread. When I get back, I’ll turn you into a braised… oooh, gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp…”
Him Yan’s scream echoed among the rocks, the scurrying rapids were getting closer and closer to the two descending balls of people, and with a crash, the two silhouettes finally fell, one after the other, into the river water that was several times below normal temperature.
After taking a few gulps of the cool, bone-piercing icy water, Him Yan remembered that she was not familiar with water, dolling up water in a calm lake was fine, but in these rapids it was killing her.
After several violent struggles, his head burst out of the water and he screamed, “Help! Sister Bing… help… gulp!” Her head disappeared again.
