The Forgotten Temple XII Dreamworld Continuation

Causing her to then tearily nod having truly helped raised him to be a good boy! Before then happily hugging him to the absolute fullest.

"My Aurel is The First Prince of All Teddy Bears! So cute and amazing! I'll always love my celestial teddy bear!"

Selphie happily giggled before then kissing his cheeks the most! After both a loving and memorable moment it was finally time to return for the two remaining weeks of the training camp!

After preparing her heaven, unstopping time, and unsealing the door.

The young prince had soon whispered into Selphie's ear before then excitedly running off to tearily hug the others! Causing Selphie to then adorably smile.

Soon enough the young prince pounced on Amber who forgot her magic book in the room causing her to then adorably giggle.

Before then noticing the young prince's gains?! Resulting in the young prince explaining quite literally everything that happened.

Surprising Amber having truly been blindsided! So much had happened in so little time! There were only two weeks left! Or maybe two days?! She lost count after hearing everything that happened to poor Aurel!

In truth, if it was anyone else that had taken the young prince on such a lethal trip she'd be absolutely livid even if it was Annie or Bradley!

But since it was in fact Selphie and Aurel had asked for it along with its many added dangers then at most she could do was pout!

Not to mention his sealing?!

Of course, she understood why he had asked for it but the fact alone that he needed it because of both the balance and its effects coupled with that of him not wanting to surpass his sisters were still quite mind-numbing.

Causing her after taking him to an empty training room to then test out what he had learned?

Resulting in the young prince showing off his silver wings, tail, and scales! Surprising Amber having not expected such a sight before then learning even more.

After an hour she had soon realized he was in fact a very much 'experienced' Mid-Level Archmage, Master Assassin, and even a real Sword Saint?! All of which matched the recurring Mid-Level Theme!

He had hunted, survived, hid, scavenged, and so much more! This real-world experience is beyond valuable and opens up so many doors for advancement!

But what truly shocked her was his ability to absorb the memories, experiences, and rules from magic crystals of magic beasts or anything really?!

Followed several intact rules and parts of others? But what was even more surprising is the way he controlled mana!

The sheer efficiency, mental power, and control of mana didn't belong to that of a child! The fact that he could use the surrounding mana and nothing would go noticed with a gentle flap of his wings!

He could close doors, reverse the blood flow from open wounds and prevent blood loss.

Coupled with that of invisible slashes, controlling unstable mana, and even that of spells! Not only that but he could do the same to naturally occurring mana occurrences!

The delicacy and knowledge needed alone would only ever mean so few would know of it or even learn it if they had!

In most cases, only a handful of Sacred Realms per several generations would even discover it!

And what was even scarier was the fact that anyone with mana could learn it! It could be said it might have purposely lost due to how truly dangerous it was.

But that combined with everything the young prince knew was terrifying! Albeit Amber wasn't since she learned the same mana manipulation but hadn't mastered it as the young prince had.

Causing Amber after throwing everything together to then proudly nod before then taking a seat on the couch causing the young prince to then happily lay his head on her lap.

Before then curiously remembering something and pulling out an ornate thorian crystal jewelry box.

And opening it revealing several cushioned memory crystals, the first one was from the battle of the Altar starting from after he killed both dragons and spared Bona to the battles with Lady Vinny and finally Vina.

The second one was the one from the encounter with Priestess Laphine starting only after entering the research lab and ending with him being suppressed, losing his arm, and the subsequent smites.

The Third was him falling through the ice after encountering a Sacred Beast and successfully escaping it and subsequently falling through the ice, fighting off bully fish, and breaking through the ice and ending with him falling asleep in the cave.

The fourth one was The Sacred Lighting Eagles Ambush starting from the beautiful views from the mountain, flying back and admiring the view from the clouds, and finally being ambushed.

Killing the lightning eagle, and the subsequent failed landing to him limping to the infirmary and ending after he fell asleep.

Of course, there were many memorable moments but these four were the most memorable without revealing his secrets of course.

Surprising Amber having realized those four memory crystals must have been from his experiences causing the young prince to then hesitantly nod.

"I.. want to wait to show mommies an-and I don't want sisters to know.. I-I want to keep it a secret for now bu-but Aur-I want to show Amber first!"

The young prince hesitantly explained having in truth realized that despite having a perfect character around Lady Frost and a select few others he needed to adapt it to everyone!

Resulting in him now stuttering and confusing the two since Amber is Amber and he loved her!

Surprising Amber before then adorably nodding while the young prince adorably closes his eyes and bundling up on her lap.

Moments later however Amber had finally realized to the extent of his experiences.. she simply couldn't believe her celestial teddy bear had managed such a feat but he had even if he couldn't entirely control himself.

Despite everything that happened he spared them, felt immense guilt for not finding a peaceful option, and even begged for forgiveness?!

Seeing all of this truly meant it was her celestial teddy bear because he did exactly what she'd expect him to do!

Causing Amber to then gently rub his back before then hesitantly moving to the other one where he tried his best to convince the crazy priestess up until she made her threats enraging him before then finally having his arm severed?!

This.. this was simply far too bizarre and even more painful as if she would've never expected such things to happen involving her celestial teddy bear!

Causing her to then unknowingly become teary and continue further despite such painful memories?

In truth every time she looked into a memorable crystal it usually got even worse and she could only bare with so much! Resulting in her finally moving onto the next where he had successfully escaped from a Sacred Beast in fell into the ice?

Resulting in Amber immediately having the urge to save him before then quickly remembering it was simply a memory crystal despite her reactions to seeing such.

It simply felt far too real as if you were there and you'd definitely react as if you were, these memory crystals weren't at all simple as they seemed..

Which would no doubt explain her reactions so far until finally moving onto the last memory crystal..

Causing her after watching the ambush and him killing the Sacred Beast, his failed landing, and him limping away to then immediately wrap her arms around the young prince as tightly as she could!

Having truly realized why he hadn't wish to show anyone else, causing her to then finally calm down before then nodding.

"Aurel.. I promise I'll keep your secret but I believe if anyone else, Aldra should know even if it'll only be me and her for the time being"

"Hiding such a thing from her would be something a bad boy would do and I don't want my celestial teddy bear to be a bad boy!"

Amber adorably explained causing the young prince to then adorably nod having in truth still dealt with the traumas and would only really at most partly recover when he sees his mommy.

Coupled with that of his separation anxiety despite appearances still, pains him quite a bit.

After about two hours of reassuring cuddles and a mini girl talk, at least if it could be called such a thing? Essentially explaining what he had felt and the encounter with Princess Faelin.

Causing Amber after some adorable reassurance to then immediately giggle her heart out shortly after hearing how he had 'mistakenly' robbed a fairy's home! In truth, she was simply happy he hadn't changed and even giggled as well!

And after both the adorable antics and funny little stories both had soon left to check up on the others!

Resulting in the young prince pouncing on Elyris, Molly, and Hanah who had just finished another sparring match! Surprising all three and causing the young prince to then tearily smile.

"I missed you all so much.. le-let's.. let's stay together forever o-ok?"

The young tearily giggled surprising all three knowing something had clearly happened before then noticing he was a Mid-Level Sword Saint.. something clearly happened! He wouldn't stutter so little if it hadn't!

Causing Mera having also noticed this to then worriedly look to Amber who could only say so much.

"Selphie organized a four-week severe weather and survival course.. I can't say anything more and Aurel isn't willing to reveal his experiences either?"

Amber helplessly explained surprising everyone and causing Molly, Elyris, and Hanah to then frown wanting to know what happened while Mera gently shook her head before then receiving a pounce of her own.

"I.. I love mommy Mera!"

The young prince adorably confessed causing Mera to then gently nod before then gently wiping away his tears and whispering into his ear causing him to then happily smile and Mera to then gently nod.

"You needn't ever force yourself little Auri.. as for the rules of lightning I've sensed? You need only ask"

Mera gently reassured causing the young prince to then excitedly nod and Elyris to then immediately send him a wave of mental messages in addition to asking to speak with him in private, causing the young prince to then adorably nod.

And after adorably kissing Mera's cheeks Elyris had soon gently taken his hand and dragged him into the nearest empty room surprising everyone and after sealing the door and taking the young prince to the convenient couch and looking around.

Before then surprisingly taking off her mask and worriedly looking causing the young prince to then adorably blush before then being cut off.

"I.. I want to know.. I know you've already seen my memories so.. please tell me. You're.. my first pillar so I want to know?"

Elyris hesitantly asked and with her real voice no less.

In truth she paid attention quite a bit and from his reaction alone and what she had sensed and even felt, it clearly showed he had suffered quite sufficient trauma and set off her alarms.

Having quite a few traumas in that regard and simply wanted to know what had transpired with her first pillar.

The training or perhaps survival courses weren't as simple as they sounded and the fact alone that he didn't wish to reveal anything was enough for her to go through such lengths.

In truth Elyris rarely ever removes her mask anymore and at most, she only ever does so in private 'with' the young prince let alone actually speaking rather than simply sending mental messages.

Meaning doing both displays enough coupled with that of her mentioning of him seeing her memories to hint at the fact that she wanted to know his?

Causing the young prince having wanted to show her before but didn't because it would've been unfair to then tearily nod.

Especially since she had already known he looked through her memories?

Meaning he had more of a reason to show her and she might even understand why he wouldn't want anyone else to see? Resulting in the young prince pulling out his ornate jewelry box once more.

Causing Elyris to then nod before then looking through each of those four crystals surprising her with each one and the mixture of fear and guilt the young prince had felt until finally she gently put them back into the box and slightly sighed.

Having now realized why be it from discouraging his sisters to do the same or perhaps forcing them to watch him suffer?

However, that logic wasn't the clearest.. that's because there was a chance that his other sisters would need such training and without it, they may suffer worse.

There were simply too many ways to go about it however Elyris only truly agreed with one before then gently wrapping him in her tail of endless fluff causing the young prince to then revert back to bliss and Elyris to then gently hug him.
