Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 485: Pay Back Part Two

As the two traveled Yin Li decided to bring Alicia to a world that was like earth in the same galaxy. "This is?" Alicia asked as she stood above a planet with different geography and a much bigger world than Earth.

"It is the closest neighboring planet to Earth that holds life. I figured it would interest you to see something most will never get to see. I happened to discover it while I was searching for you." Yin Li said as she began flying down to the planet's surface.

With her curiosity piqued Alicia followed after her. What she saw was a planet that had large bodies of water and land covered in dense jungle. "This world is what your world would still be like if it did not undergo so many changes. Look see..." 

Alicia followed the direction Yin Li was pointing and her eyes opened wide when she saw a head poke up from under the tree canopy. But as she watched on more and more heads began to appear as well. "Dinosaurs!?"

"Mmm You see, this galaxy was created in a different way compared to the rest. It was a testing ground to see how evolution would progress under certain circumstances. Unfortunately, the planet called Earth that you originally hailed from was besieged by asteroids during an event that happened on the other side of the universe that sent a shock wave towards this galaxy. That shock away and knocked the asteroids that surround your solar system off their track causing them to hurtle towards Earth. " Yin Li began to explain. But Her words caused Alicia to find her explanation a little off.

"Yin Li, why do you know so much about Earth?" Alicia asked, eyeing her. 

Yin Li froze as she realized she had just said too much. Before answering, she fell into thought on how to rectify the situation. "There is a reason for everything, when the time comes you will understand."

"You can not dodge the question with such a half assed answer. Let me guess this has something to do with my origins and the other two girls right?" Alicia asked, causing Yin Li to look in the other direction. If she did not say anything then she would not break her contract and end up dying from withholding information. "Just answer the question with a yes or no."

Yin Li turned and looked at Alicia and finally nodded her head to answer her. "I can not say anything or explain anything. Please do not force me to do so. Everything will be told once the three of you meet up" 

Alicia let out a sigh and nodded her head. She was not going to push the issue. "Alright, I won't ask anything more on that but I will ask one thing. Are you here as my guide?"

Yin Li was shocked by Alicia's question and blurted out. "How do you know!?"

"I met an old man on Phantasia who was waiting for the Origin. He was a cultivator of chaos qi. He was to help Chun'er return to her universe and guide her from there. After listening to what you just said, I put two and two together." Alicia explained.

"I see, so you know more than the others..." Yin Li was at a loss for words.

"If this is the case, then why did you attack my world?" Alicia asked, her voice growing angry. She didn't understand if this woman was supposed to be her guide why the hell did she attack her homeworld and almost cause her to lose her parents?

"Wait! Calm down! It is not what you think! I may be a guide but there are certain things I am not allowed to interfere with! Just like that old fool did not interfere with the Origin! Your life and deaths are your own. Think of it as a test of what should and should not be done. Everything has been planned out since the beginning " Yin Li quickly covered her mouth wanting to slap herself. For some reason, she had a big mouth today and it was all because Alicia was making her very flustered with all these questions.

"Hmmm Planned out I see Well, my guess is you can not explain anymore, so I will leave it at that. But I expect a good explanation from you when the time comes." Alicia lost all interest in seeing the dinosaurs and flew back up into space. Yin Li cursed her own big mouth before following after Alicia.

Alicia was finding everything to be very strange. If everything in her life was planned out, then what did that plan hope to achieve? Why did this so called plan force her into so many hardships? Why did she have to suffer the loss of so many people of her world in order to accomplish this plan? What she wanted to know most of all was who was it that started this plan in the first place. Once she found out she wanted to give them a good beating.

Yin Li finally caught up to Alicia and yelled out: "Alicia, I'm sorry! If I could have stopped some of the events you went through I would have! But my hands were tied!"

Alicia stopped flying and turned around to look at Yin Li. "It's fine. But I want a proper explanation when you are able to explain things." 

Alicia was not going to hold it against Yin Li, It seemed she wanted to tell her everything but had no choice but to hold back. She just hopped one day this entire mess would become clear. The aching feeling she had in her chest told her it was something that she was forgetting and was very important, not only to her but to the other girls as well. She had to meet them as soon as she could.
