The Path of Magic XI Hanah's Mishaps V

Causing her to then adorably pout.

"How unfortunate? As a kind gesture, I've advised our 'dear' Uncle that it was better for our Aunt to raise our 'dear' misguided cousin and even generously gifted him an advanced mana potion?"

"Not only that mother and father have also accepted my most 'recent' proposal! Ensuring both you and many other young ladies needn't fear such things, the same would apply to others as well"

Malik reassuringly comforted causing Hanah to then adorably smile before then remembering something else causing her to then adorably pout once more.

"You didn't have to hurt Luna's friend! Her brother fine.. but not her! Big brother I-I love you but we need to visit her! Luna is prob-probably sad too!"

Hanah reprimandly pouted.

Causing Malik to then guiltily smile before then laying to his side.

"Anything for my two precious sisters, but unfortunately you still need to rest! We'll visit her with Luna afterwards, so you need only rest first"

Malik confessed causing Hanah to then hesitantly nod before then adorably hugging Malik causing him to then gently run his fingers through her fiery platinum blonde hair.

Causing her to then adorably bury her head into his chest before then adorably becoming teary, all the while present-day Hanah had quickly woken up after having such a strange dream.

Before then adorably sobbing once more surprising the young prince before then comfortably hugging her even tighter.

"Everything's going to be ok.. because I love you, so let it all out! I-I'll always be here for Hanah.. no matter what! So don't be scared o-or lonely?"

"Becau-Because you have Luna! An-And me! An-And Celes and Ruby too? You're not alone anymore!"

The young prince reassuringly comforted causing Hanah then adorably sob even more.

After what felt like more or less a half of an hour had passed Hanah had soon calmed down with the help of the young prince before then adorably rubbing her nose against his causing the young prince to then adorably giggle.

Causing Hanah to then adorably smile before then remembering something causing her then curiously jump up and pulling the young prince over surprising him before then excitedly pointing to three other doors in her room.

Causing the young prince to then adorably look to each with an adorably curious expression causing Hanah to then adorably shake her head.

"I have my own bathroom, armory, and of course my closet! Plus the Imperial Quarters has its own Library too! Speaking of 'libraries'.. we should visit its Celestial Library!"

Hanah excitedly explained causing the young prince to then excitedly nod all the while causing Hanah to then adorably smile.

After having a quick bath and getting dressed Hanah had soon dragged the young prince to the Imperial Quarter's Celestial Library.

Before then being greeted by two strange guards similar to the young prince's however, they wore a drastically different armor as compared to The Celestial Praetorian Guard while keeping the same color scheme at least.

Causing both to then slightly bow before then opening the doors causing the young prince to then adorably look to them once more before then adorably being dragged inside by Hanah.

After entering several strange and completely hooded figures wearing strange masks roamed the Library.

Each wore both different and strange Celestial Insignias complementing their elegant yet ominous black and purple robes each with some sort of a ranking causing the young prince to then adorably look at them as well.

Causing Hanah after noticing this to then adorably shake her head.

"These are the Librarians! From what I heard after death the soul leaves the body and leaves some residue.. I think they were called Spirits?"

"Anyways several famous Celestial Artisans led by a Divine Alchemist managed to find a way to collect these spirits and put them into new immortal bodies?"

Hanah curiously explained surprising the young prince and causing his eyes to then adorably sparkle causing Hanah after noticing this to then proudly smile.

"They aren't the same people but they do regain some of their former experience I think so they're practically people who weren't born but still had bodies?"

"On-One even got pregnant once.. so-soo they must have bodies like ours! But I don't know anything else about them?"

Hanah shyly explained before then quickly dragging the young prince to an empty table.

Causing her to then quickly move through the shelves and collect a small mountain of books from the massive Library before then remembering something else causing her to then hesitantly look to the young prince's neck.

"I-I saw your necklace earlier.. you're not 'born' of the Void! O-Or a Void Mage so don't try comprehending that thing until you at least have 'some' understanding of the Void!"

"No-Now that's out of the way Aurora told me to remind you about Lady Maple or whatever her name was?"

Hanah reprimandly remembered surprising the young prince causing him to then adorably nod causing Hanah to then adorably pat his head.

All the while trying her best to keep her anger contained having felt somewhat like her former self after having experienced such a strange dream and flood of memories all once more.

Causing her to act a little 'too' calm resulting in her making the best out of the situation and the mess of her emotions by continuing such strange behavior before then adorably shaking her head.

After finally sitting down at the table with the young prince Hanah had soon passed a strange yet ancient magic book for beginners written in the blood of a Sacred Dragon to the young prince surprising him.

Causing her to then adorably shake her head.

"Modern-day magic books from what I've seen are lacking.. It seems they hid the good stuff in the hopes of preventing another 'Dark' Age or weakening the future generations so no one would get any 'bright' ideas?"

"Maybe the gods didn't like the constant back-and-forth fighting?"

Hanah explained causing the young prince to then adorably nod before then remembering something causing him to then worriedly freeze.

All the while causing him to then hesitantly look to Hanah with an adorably worried expression surprising her before then being cut off causing the young prince to then whisper into her ear surprising her even more before then adorably nodding.

"I'll borrow some books for you and we'll return to my room! You've never asked to talk to me before.. so it must be important if you're so worried about something?"

Hanah worriedly asked.

Before then getting up and asking the Head Librarian for copies of every book currently on the table causing the strange hooded little girl to then both adorably and slightly bow before then conjuring up a strange space ring.

Causing Hanah to then adorably give her a quick hug before then heading back to the young prince.

"This should do.. and Tully is such a cutie! I'll introduce you to her later"

Hanah excitedly confessed before then dragging the young prince off to her room.

After finally arriving to her room and dragging the young prince inside she had soon taken off her boots herself this time all the while the young prince still helped with the armor and dress before then doing the same.

After finally getting comfortable the young prince still had an adorably worried yet slightly teary expression before then hugging Hanah even tighter causing Hanah to then reassuringly do the same.

"We're alone now.. so what did you want to talk about? I've never seen you so worried about anything?"

Hanah curiously asked.

Causing the young prince to then adorably grip the blanket before then hesitantly nodding.

"Hanah I-I'm scared.. I-I'm scared for Hanah an-and the others! Like mommies.. daddies.. an-and sisters! I-I need to tell Hanah.. I-I need to tell someone.."

The young prince frustratingly confessed.

Causing the young prince to then hesitantly freeze surprising Hanah causing her to then gently and comfortingly run her fingers through his hair causing the young prince to then adorably give up.

Before then finally whispering the rest into Hanah's ear surprising her even more causing Hanah to then adorably look to the young prince with an adorably worried expression causing him to then worriedly nod.

Causing her to then hesitantly nod as well before then adorably shaking her head.

"A 'new' Dark Age supposedly even worse than the previous two? No wonder why you're so worried.. The Celestial Empire ended at the end of the previous Dark Age so the wars, skirmishes"

"And overall anything of the sort were gradually ended by either us or the gods.. us having damaged the world in the process during all of this.."

"Anyways you might not know this but not every continent is like ours that can gladly heal on its own and replenish all of our natural resources.."

Hanah surprisingly explained surprising the young prince and causing Hanah to then adorably nod.

"Out of all the continents, ours is the best with that sort of thing earning us another reason to be called The Continent of The 'Gods' or heavens or whatever they decide to call it now.."

"So naturally not everyone can afford to say the same.. so the gods had to actually involve themselves and speed up the continents who had such an ability while still healing the ones who didn't on their own.."

Hanah helplessly confessed surprising the young prince even more causing his teary eyes to then adorably sparkle surprising Hanah causing her to then adorably nod.

"Not to mention the fact they were 'apparently' burdened having their temples filled with wounded or even having some of them destroyed.. this should be the short gist of it though?"

"In reality from what I've heard and seen it's much worse, be it from betrayal to assassination to blackmail or even worse.. even I wasn't spared from slander"

"But fortunately for me slandering someone like me and you comes with at a 'heavy' price and would normally disappear within a day or two.."

Hanah added causing the young prince's eyes to then adorably sparkle even more causing him to then hesitantly nod causing Hanah to then adorably pull him even closer.

"Maybe a week for you since you modern Celestials are much more.. 'civilized'.. anyways it probably won't be the same for you since it's apparently 'supposed' to be 'worse' than the previous two.."

"Putting that aside.. I'm happy you were so worried about me that you'd be willing to tell me such a 'big' secret.."

"But you don't have to worry about me! I'm a big girl and I 'can' take care of 'both' myself and you!"

"If anything.. I think this kind of thing would go over my head so you should ask Celes or even Selphie to warn the others or maybe tell them yourself. I-If you can't I can if that'll help?"

Hanah reassuringly explained causing the young prince to then adorably nod all the while causing Hanah to then adorably nod as well before then pulling out the strange space ring.

And gently putting it on the young prince's finger.
