In the heart of the mystical Eroh Water Valley, Aurelian stood, surrounded by the soothing whispers of ancient waters and the ethereal mist that danced like forgotten memories. The gravity of his purpose weighed heavily upon him - to regain his strength and embrace the destiny laid out before him. Nearby, Saraphim approached, her eyes fixed on Aurelian. Her disbelief that he was destined to be her protector hung in the air, conflicting with her determination to guide him through this realm and fulfill the prophecy as dictated by the magical book she had studied. The ancient text had pointed to Aurelian as the chosen one, the fulcrum of their fate.

Saraphim wrestled with her thoughts as she walked, "Was he truly the chosen one, as the magical ancient book suggests?" Elara, perceptive and curious, couldn't help but inquire, "I wonder."

"I don't know," Saraphim replied, her mind a whirlwind of uncertainties and hopes. She decided to leave swiftly, contemplating the weight of destiny that now rested on Aurelian's shoulders. The air crackled with an enigmatic anticipation.

Elara, however, was not one to let things go without further probing. Observing Saraphim's emotional reaction, she pressed, "The way you looked at him seemed quite emotional, wasn't it?" But Saraphim interrupted her with a stern retort, "Wasn't what? Are deities or gods not born with hearts to feel? While you may be a semi-goddess, I understand this realm more than you."

Intrigue and tension filled the air as their words hung between them. Suddenly, Elara took action, using her finger to conjure the Supreme Akju Claim, a formidable magical weapon that could entrap cultivation or magic. This practice was reserved for the most skilled sorceresses and Elders, great cultivators who had ascended through numerous levels, except the unattained. Elders often cared for beings that had not yet taken human form. These creatures were sent to various sovereign gods or goddesses for rigorous training or sometimes offered as gifts.

Astonished but not entirely taken by surprise, Saraphim realized her fate had been sealed momentarily. She knew Elara's mystique well; she cunningly stole cultivations and souls for her advantage. "What are you doing?" Saraphim questioned, not fully surprised by the trap, but well aware of Elara's sinister intentions.

Elara explained her nefarious plans, revealing her knowledge of the grand ladder of power in this realm. "I've heard that once you attain the status of a sovereign goddess, the great Supreme God has a position for you in the magnificent magical library. There, their personal students are trained under your guidance. But once I steal the magical wings of your creatures, you won't be able to attain it," Elara taunted, a wicked laughter escaping her lips as her dark magical petals surged towards Saraphim.
