Before the young eagle left Megaris, King Drayce Ivanov had made a rough sketch of the green-eyed woman by asking his wife Seren to describe the facial features of the woman in her dreams. He gave it to Aureus with a strong intuition that it would be useful. As he was visiting the Kingdom of Agartha, then it was better to be prepared.
"Does the Queen of Megaris get visions about my mate?" Draven asked as it was what he could conclude from the existence of the portrait.
"Her Majesty does and it's not something she and the King are happy about. Those visions give her pain as they take the form of nightmares."
"The same thing can be said by our side as well," Draven said, his dignified tone showing hints of rebuke, though he did regain his composure. "I am more eager to find out the reason than thinking about the pain it causes."
"If the King of Agartha has information to share, I request for both our sides to exchange intelligence about this matter."
"What kind of visions does the Queen of Megaris have?" Draven asked.
Aureus explained to him about Seren's visions and the main content of it was seeing hellish fire surrounding the green-eyed woman.
"Hmm, my mate possesses the power of the fire attribute. Does the Queen of Megaris possess the same attribute? My mate had a similar vision about the purple-eyed woman being surrounded by flames."
The young eagle could not help but ponder. "Unfortunately, that is not the case. Queen Seren has an affinity to the earth element."
"By any chance, has she mastered the fire element as well? Did she train herself on a second element? There are supernatural beings who can master two elements though such cases are rare."
At this, Aureus shook his head. "The Queen of Megaris cannot use her power. There are reasons behind it that I cannot explain to you. However, I can assure you that she is incapable of willfully using magic as she herself is not aware of what kind of power she holds."
'Not aware of what kind of power she holds.'
Draven found it similar to the case of his mate and found the similarity interesting. If the circumstances of the Queen of Megaris were similar to his mate, then...
"Is there any seal on her power? Has someone intentionally suppressed it?"
Draven's guess was not wrong.
"There are such possibilities," Aureus admitted. "My king is personally overseeing the investigation about this concern, and perhaps in a span of a month, many questions will be cleared."
"Any particular event will be happening within a month?" Draven asked.
"Hmm. There is. Forgive me for being unable to say more," Aureus replied, not giving clear explanations.
Draven Aramis was a stranger. As Aureus was meeting the King of Agartha for the first time and he was yet to be aware of his true intentions, thus, it was not fine to tell him details about things concerning Drayce and Seren's private lives.
"I hope the King of Megaris will be successful so we can solve the connection between his mate and mine."
"We wish the same," Aureus said. After a while, he seemed to have remembered something. "I have an item for the King of Agartha. That esteemed person said to pass it to you directly."
Draven silently waited as an object appeared on Aureus' palm. It was a wooden token that was enchanted with a magic spell, the runes conveying that inside was a sealed message which only Draven could unravel and read.
Once again, Erlos accepted that wooden token from Aureus and passed it to Draven. After glancing at it, Erlos realized that the token had a particular set of symbols carved on top, and those were runic letters from the ancient language that High Elves used.
The token reminded Draven of someone.
"High Elf Yorian? Is he with the King of Megaris?" Draven asked calmly. Though he was surprised, he controlled it from showing on his face.
His old comrade who left the kingdom, what was he doing with the King of Megaris?
Aureus nodded. "Yes, that esteemed person is in Megaris as we stumbled upon common enemies. When he found out I was heading to Agartha, he asked me to deliver a message for him."
