The atmosphere is getting colder and darker. The majestic castle was shrouded in ice crystals. I don't know why I felt sad when I arrived here. My eyes glazed over. We entered the palace. The majestic statues at the front seemed to be partially covered in snow. The thick pile of snow meant that no one was coming here. When I stepped into the palace, my chest ached.

"Ugh."

"What is it?"

"My chest hurts."

A huge palace stretches out in front of the eyes. In the center of the hall stood a large and majestic gem crystal. Then, we explored the place, it was silent and also left a sad impression. Just as the tree god said, this nature stores information, including this place also leaves the impression to be revealed.

I was escorted by the fox to a secret place, we circled the basement. "Arrrgh." My heartbeat is getting faster. I stopped for a moment and leaned against the wall then took Kiran's hand.

"Are you okay?" The fox asked.

"My chest hurts again."

"Rest for a while."

"No, I have to continue this."

Finally, in the cellar, there was a glowing tree. "It is the shining tree of life," said Kiran.

"How can it glow?" I asked.

"Look at the roots embedded in the magic crystal of the queen."

"The roots are visible from the outside. It's like in a mirror."

"That's what guards the tree and it's the only power left of the queen. She left her power behind," explained Kiran.

Then Ryana walked over and touched the tree. Suddenly the necklace reflects light onto the crystal at the root, so it rises to the top of the tree trunk and activates energy. Then, the tree shone on the necklace and a white lotus seal appeared on my chest. The necklace vibrated as if reacting to the seals within my body. The seal draws power or energy from the connection of the three mediums which is the gem necklace, root crystal, and tree.

"W-What happened?" I said in surprise.

Kiran who witnessed it then said, "It's true. You are the princess of this kingdom."

The body feels hot and cold mixed together. I felt goosebumps as if standing on the waves, I felt the freedom like flying among the birds in the sky. When the energy subsided, I felt the silence like drowning in the ocean. Like a flower covered in a block of ice, when the ice cracks and melts, I fully bloom like a flower. Then Ryana's hair slowly turned white, and her eye color turned blue.

The tree of life grew bigger, rising high into the sky and blooming among its leaves. Its roots penetrated the earth. The crystals in the root disappeared. The tree gives off the shimmering particles of light rays that fall from its leaves as well as the flowers.

"Warm energy as well as cool," Kiran said.

I looked up at the tree and now it looked like an ordinary tree, but the tree left memories in it. I touched the tree trunk with my palms and my head. The story of my childhood was revealed. Kiran left the place leaving Ryana to reminisce about her life.

The Shira Kingdom...

"Congratulations. The queen is pregnant," said the royal physician.

"Is this true? Said the overjoyed king.

The queen smiled at her husband's reaction.

The king was very concerned about the queen and the child who was still in the womb. They had happy days.

"The child will see how beautiful the kingdom is from up here." Said the king who was on the balcony while looking at the white expanse of the kingdom and the open sky.

Yuki nodded and smiled. The king embraced his wife and then the queen rested her head on the king's chest.

The day of waiting has arrived. The baby's cries broke the ladies' worries. Finally, the queen gave birth to a daughter.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... the queen has given birth to a beautiful baby." said one of the maids.

"I've become a father. I'm already a father." Shouted the king with happiness.

"Congratulations Your Majesty." Said the ministers and their relatives.

The king met the queen who was lying with her baby.

"Zerath... Look at this tiny baby."

The baby's cheeks were red. Her skin was white as snow.

Zerath bent down and looked at the baby. The baby chuckled. Happy atmosphere. But unfortunately, their happiness did not last long. A week later, Kiran who was the fox came to the palace to visit the queen and her baby.

Kiran entered the palace and was greeted by the king. Then the king hugged Kiran and said, "Long time no see."

"Yes." Answer Kiran.

"You must want to see Yuki." Guards, please take this master to meet the queen."

"Well, Your Majesty."

Kiran bowed his head to the king and passed. The maid reported to the queen.

"Your Majesty, master Kiran has come, and he is now at the door."

"Let him in."

"Very well, Your Majesty."

Kiran walked over to the queen who was sitting by the window. Meanwhile, the baby is in the small bed by the queen's side.

"How are you, Yuki?"

"What do you think?"

"Your face looks bright."

"Yes, it is. My mood is full of joy." Yuki answered while looking at the tiny baby. "Kiran, later someone will disturb you." Said Yuki who chuckled.

"Hmmm.... I won't let this little princess bother me." Kiran jokes.

"What's her name?" Kiran asked.

"Ryana."

"A beautiful name resembling her mother. Her skin color is white like her surroundings. Yuki, I'm happy for your happiness."

"Thank you, Kiran. I'm glad you wanted to come here."

"Uhmm... Yuki, I came here to say goodbye to you." Said Kiran who also felt bad about this separation.

Yuki who heard it became shocked and asked, "Where are you going, Kiran?"

"I will return to heaven."

"Can't you wait for Ryana to grow up? I want you to be her friend." Yuki asked.

In fact, Yuki's intentions were good. She wanted Ryana as her substitute to accompany Kiran. The fox who heard it was hesitant to leave them. Because indeed while in the human world, it was Yuki who became Kiran's best friend.

But before Kiran could answer, suddenly there was an explosion from outside. Yuki and Kiran watched it come out from the balcony. Black smoke soared into the sky with the figures of demons and dragons flying across the sky. Tyrone, the leader who was flying on his horse, Centauri with his right side was Leander riding a dragon and on his left side was Leona who flew using her wings. Then they landed at the palace gates with the troops behind them. The guard soldiers were made helpless in the face of it.

"Arrrgh..."

In an instant, they fell to the ground.

"What happened??!" Zerath asked.

"Your Majesty. The demon army has come here, they..."

Before he could finish his words, Tyrone entered the palace and greeted the king.

One of the maids ran over in a hurry and then reported to the queen in a panic saying, "Your Majesty, you must get out of here. The demons have taken control of this palace."

"What???!" Kiran said.

The queen was no less worried and looked at Kiran, "How is it?" While looking at the little Ryana.

"Is there a secret passage here?" Kiran asked.

"There is," Yuki answered.

"We're going there," said Kiran.

"Wait what about the king?" asked the queen.

Earlier I saw the king was dealing with the demon.

"No... I have to go there." The Yuki insisted.

"Wait, Yuki. Zerath will not want you there. Don't waste your life! How about this kid? However, we have to get out of here!" Kiran tried to wake up Yuki.

"But I want to see Zerath," Yuki was powerless until she cried.

"There's no time, we have to escape," Kiran said.

Kiran, Yuki, and Ryana with their two maids went to the cellar. On the way there, they were intercepted by several demons.

"Hiyaa!!! Where are you going? Hand over the baby."

Kiran attacked him in one hit. Three, four, five demons tried to block them, but with just one attack, they were defeated. Finally, they arrived at the basement. Yuki asked her maid to hold the baby. Then, Yuki by using the magic power that was inside of her flowed it into a crystal in that place. The queen's memory energy then sprouted a glowing bud. Then, she took off her gem necklace that had been given magic to connect with the crystal someday and put it on the baby.

"Let's go!" Yuki said.

When she came out, one of the maids noticed that the arrow had been shot and then became a shield for Yuki.

"Arrrgh!!!"

"Lucy...," said the queen.

"Hurry up... Go away!! Queen...," Lucy replied.

The queen was holding back her emotions. "I'm sorry, Lucy." The queen reluctantly left her.

Kiran soon defeated the archer and transformed himself into a huge fox.

"Get on my back," Kiran said.

Yuki and one maid who was behind her climbed Kiran's back. They crossed to get out of Shira's kingdom towards Kiran's cave.

"Soon we will arrive. After passing through this forest, we will arrive at the canyon and can hide there." Said Kiran.

Unfortunately, they were blocked by Leander and Leona. Their power energy was different from the previous one. If I fight, I can't take care of Yuki.

"Yuki goes first, you know where I live right? I'll block them temporarily so you can escape."

Yuki also went down following Kiran's words. But before they left, he gave Yuki a silver dagger. "This is my gift to Ryana."

"Make sure to yourself to come," Yuki said.

"Yes." Kiran smiled back.

Just before Leona attacked, Kiran attacked her and said, "Your opponent is here."

Yuki and her maid ran as fast as they could. With a weak body condition, the queen was not strong to continue the journey, then fell into the thick snow.

"Come on queen." Said the lady.

At that moment there was a figure standing in front of them.
