Chapter 1075 - Larks
The fairies' territory was quite big, so Rean and Roan had to walk for a long while as Thicket followed the thread. However, the further they went, the weirder Thicket's expression became. It was as if he didn't expect the results of his search.
Eventually, Rean and Roan stopped in front of a giant tree, which had an opening in it. This tree was really enormous, not losing to Celis's size back when he was in the Transition Realm at all. It was then that Rean and Roan heard Thicket murmuring, "That's quite unexpected..."
He then looked at the twins and told them, "Wait a minute. I need to ask permission for us to go inside."
The twins nodded in response as Thicket entered the tree's entrance. Rean and Roan had always kept their Divine Sense bending skill active. However, they weren't using it at full power, so anyone could penetrate it without noticing anything wrong. However, one must remember that this ability also allowed Rean and Roan to judge the other party's strength through the strength of the Divine Sense that hit it. That's how they could tell anyone's strength regardless of the difference in cultivation. In fact, the higher the cultivation, the easier it became for the twins to judge.
Sometime later, it was exactly this ability that made Rean and Roan's expressions change. That's because they felt an extremely strong Divine Sense coming from inside the giant tree. It was by far the strongest Divine Sense they had ever felt. Transition Realm Divine Senses couldn't even hold a candle to it. Obviously, that Divine Sense spread out towards them. It was analyzing the two closely. It then retreated as if it had never been there.
Following that, Thicket came out of the giant tree and looked at the twins. He wasn't alone, though. A few other fairies, males and females, also accompanied him. Each one of them was surprisingly in the Elemental Transformation Realm or the Transition Realm.
Thicket then stopped by the twins before telling them, "She will see you now. However, I can't go with you. These fairies will guide you two inside. Make sure to not be disrespectful." Before Rean and Roan could ask anything, Thicket dashed back to his dwelling, where Langara was waiting for him.
One of the fairies then came to talk with the twins. It's just that she and the other fairies seemed to have a terrible expression on their faces. "I'm Sea Chillydove, responsible for the Fairy Queen's affairs in our Fairy Territory. I'll be guiding you inside. Come with me."
'Peak of the Transition Realm,' Rean and Roan thought as they nodded. As Sea had higher cultivation than Thicket, she was also slightly bigger. Most of the other fairies were also similar.
The insides of the tree looked even bigger than outside. Everything was colorfully decorated, making it as vibrant as the rest of the fairies' territory. It was obvious that fairies loved these kinds of lively environments.
They were brought into a hall not too long after, where they immediately saw the biggest fairy they had seen so far. All the fairies until now were still a lot smaller than a human. However, that fairy in front of them was at least twice as big. Rean and Roan didn't need to think much to understand that this was the owner of that ridiculously strong Divine Sense.
Sea then introduced the fairy to the two, "This is the Fairy Queen of our Yukirrom Region, Rana Foggyswirls."
"Rana?" Rean and Roan's immediately remembered someone who had that name. However, the family name was different.
Rana then smiled at the two as she came down from her seat. "Oh, so it's you two, huh? I'm truly surprised by that. I had this karma thread with a connection stronger than any other person in the Realm of Gods. In fact, this connection is even stronger than the connections I have with my fairies here."
"Stronger than your fairies? That's indeed very hard to understand," Rean said in response. He then looked around before looking back at Rana, asking, "By the way, why do I feel like your fairy subordinates hate us?"
Rana couldn't help but laugh out loud in response. "Hahaha! That's because, for us fairies, karma connections mean a lot. It's truly important, you know? I'm the Fairy Queen, and they are my close subordinates and, at the same time, friends. However, you two have a stronger connection with me than they have. So yes, they don't like you very much."
Rana then looked at Sea and told her, "However, I won't allow you to do anything to them. Have I made myself clear?"
"Yes, Fairy Queen!" In the Fairy World of Yukirrom Region, Rana's orders were absolute.
After that, Rean and Roan said to Rana, "We have never seen you before. In fact, before we coincidently met Sienna in Cosec City, we didn't even know that fairies existed."
Rana nodded in agreement. "The same goes for me. I've never seen you two in my life. Well, this life, that is."
Rean and Roan obviously had made a connection between the karma thread and the fairy queen's name. The moment she said 'this life,' their conjecture became even more apparent. "What do you mean by 'this life?'"
Rana then explained, "Well, you see...Fairies are born from the Realm of Gods' Energy. However, their souls still need to be created through the use of Soul Energy. In the Realm of Gods, because of Divine Energy, there are times that one's connection to their previous life is kept. That also includes memories. For example, I do remember that my name was Rana. Unfortunately, it seems like I was way too young before I passed away, so that's as far as my memory goes."
Rean couldn't help but sigh after hearing that. "I see... So this is where you ended up, little sister."
Rana was taken aback to hear that. "Little Sister?"
Roan confirmed. "Indeed, it can only be you. As you know, our names are Rean and Roan, and our family name is Larks."
"Larks..." As soon as that word came out, Rana seemed to recall some deep memories from the distant past. Memories from before she was born as a fairy, just like her name.
"Mom and dad, Harmalia and Turen..."
If there was any doubt before, now it was confirmed. Rean and Roan didn't tell anyone their parents' names, but the Fairy Queen remembered!
