Chapter 102: Talk between Sisters Part 1

Located on the Southern part of the forest was the capital of the Yydrassil Empire.

Floral.

That was the name of the Yydrassil Empire, the capital of Elves.

As the capital of one of the Four races, no Three races because as the matter stood never the other races will recognize the Vampire race, the Night rulers as one of them. Floral was an amazing city in terms of size and majesty, it was way better than the Neon Empire's capital, Neox claimed as the most majestic and beautiful capital of the human races.

From afar beautiful houses built upon gigantic Tree could be seen with a lot of Elves walking back and forth.

With one glance and still concealed, Jasmine went past the capital.

Passing through a barrier fifty kilometers away from Flora Jasmine appeared in another location.

It was another forest, this one looks a little special, in front of Jasmine was a garden.

It could be described as a formal garden. The bonsai trees lined the perfect lawn in their wooden boxes. In the center, there was a pond as large as a small lake with flowering lily pads and a wooden bridge that crossed the middle so you could look down at the fishes inside it. The flower beds were a riot of May color and even on close inspection, they were weed-free.

As Jasmine tiptoes through plants, she comes to an abrupt stop because from the other side of the garden she sensed someone else present, and without confirming it, she knew who this person was.

Only few individuals were authorized to set foot into this area, one was her, another was her Big sister, Nui and the last person couldn't even be here, nor Nui. So, only only person can be present today, it was without saying that it's her Big sister, the current ruler of the Elves.

Not wanting to encounter her Big sister, Jasmine drew back slowly as she could, hoping that she hasn't alerted her Big sister of her presence.

Unfortunately, Jasmine had not taken her second step when a voice rang into her ears.

"Fufufu! Little Sister you aren't planning to go back without saying Hi to your Big sister do you?"

Jasmine's body froze when she heard her Big sister voice, she spun around and went back into the garden.

Sitting on a garden bench in the middle of the garden was a beautiful woman.

The garden bench was fashioned from a wind-felled tree, the legs being sections of the trunk still clothed in bark and the top was a fine long plank rendered a deep soulful brown by the varnish.

The lady sitting on the garden bench tending a Jasmine flower was beautiful beyond description, without turning around she said,

"There is nothing more perfect to me than a Jasmine flower. Five white petals with sunshine yellow in the middle, beautiful. I like their scent more than anything, it's soothing."

The Lady stopped tending the Jasmine flower for a moment before continuing,

"(If a flower could laugh it would be the jasmine. They dance when the wind blows between the houses, releasing more fragrance into my yard. If I ever have a daughter that will be her name and I will teach her to love and tend to their delicate blooms as I do. And her name will remind me that she too needs tenderness and care. But when she laughs the whole neighborhood will hear, not just me. She will be happy, share happiness around her, she will be strong, so strong that her heart will not waver.) Did you remember who said this?"

The Lady dressed in white spun around and asked, her face was a picture of perfection, strangely she shared some similarities with Nui, it could be said that she was the mature version of Nui. There were similarities between her and Jasmine as well.

There was nothing to be astonished about, this green-haired beauty is Nui's mother, Elmyra Yydrassil, the current Empress of the Elves and at the same, she is the Big sister to Jasmine.

Sighing Jasmine sat on another garden bench before replying,

"How could I not remember who said this? It's mother, I received this name because of her loving Jasmine flower more than anything, it was her favorite flower after all. Ah! I still miss her, I wonder how she's doing."

Jasmine remembers her mother who went missing a few years ago, she was what people call Adventurer, she likes to explore forbidden zones, highest mountains, hottest places in the world. Even the Yydrassil forbidden zone has been explored by her, she visited the other forbidden zones as well but after visiting that place there was no news.

That place was dangerous after all, nobody returns from there after setting foot into it. 'The Netherworld' as they named it was the most dreadful of the other forbidden zones and also it houses a big secret that the world didn't think of it or they choose not to think about it because they are afraid to confirm their assumption or die trying.

Conscious of the risk of no return their mother had already warned them not to try searching for her in the case she never returned. Since she went missing fifty years have already passed, the girls' hopes had died down by now, difficult to tell whether their mother was died or was still alive.

Royal High Elves possess something called Soul crystal, this Soul crystal can be used to determine if a person was still alive or not. If you a person who possesses the Soul crystal dies, your Soul crystal would shatter or its color will become red. However, when their mother went missing until now her crystal color remained black, what this means the girls couldn't tell, neither the Elders.

"You're right, I miss her too. However, that not the point for me saying what I said earlier and you know it, don't try to switch the subject." Elmyra rebuked Jasmine as the latter was trying to switch the subject.

"Che! I know. Big sister, you're no fun at all." Jasmine replied clicking her tongue.

"Heh! Thank you for the compliment little sis, now care to share what happens to you and you look morbid and indecisive, you who ought to share happiness and be happy?" Elmyra asked eyes fixed on Jasmine.

There was a pause before Jasmine finally responded "Okay, I give up." Inwardly she was thinking how she couldn't win against her Big sister, she knows that the day was going to be long, however, spend time talking with her Big sister wasn't bad, she was not done something like this it has been a few years ago.

Elmyra smiled upon seeing her sister surrenders. "Okay, let's make our talk a little more enjoyable shall we."

After saying that she disappeared.
