The Forgotten Temple I The Beginning

Her bestie needs to be prepared! Causing the young prince after switching to the eyes of The Celestial Dragon Aspect to then adorably nod.

Causing Selphie to then worriedly nod once more fearing there would be a random Void Lord or who else knows what simply walking those halls.

The temple again was quite large! But thankfully enough if he ever needs to sleep he can simply seal the door and sleep along with the fact that it was more like a palace meaning most rooms have a closet, full-blown bathroom, or even more?

Causing Selphie after contemplation to then hug her celestial teddy bear once more before then sending him to the safest place to start out! Which was the secret teleportation escape room?

However unfortunately the 'secret' entrance's door had already been quite literally busted open.

Causing the young prince to then adorably pause before then becoming teary causing Jade to then reassure the young prince before then remembering something and pausing herself.

"Di-Didn't she say you'd have to clear the entire temple?"

Jade hesitantly reminded causing the young prince to then become terrier before then trying his best to calm down and go back in forth between Aurea's and his original mentality.

Until finally, he calmed down enough to then adorably pull out an extra abyssal silver space ring?

After all, he could quite literally take what he wanted since Selphie gave her blessing? Meaning be it a broken sword, armor, or couch he'd want it strangely enough?

Especially if it has something to do with Selphie! Causing him to then adorably pull out one of his swordsman puppet Eldri had gifted him!

Before then switching back to his normal eyes since it had a light on it and since it was comparable to a Low-Level Master Swordsmen it should be enough to be his companion or perhaps someone to sacrifice as Jade puts it?

Causing the young prince to then adorably pause after realizing he didn't have a map..

Before then remembering the armory has lots of real Elf Temple Guard Puppets and Selphie didn't tell him of what levels or what kinds so his main objective is to get to the armory!

Causing the young prince after admiring the craftsmanship and architecture that was surprisingly similar to that of The Imperial Ward but Elven?

Dimmed Light Crystals embedded in the ceiling, pristine white walls covered in golden fixtures, and a red carpet that felt like it was made of silk covered in a fusion of Void Holy Patterns and that of Selphie's own creating that of a fusion of Void Ethereal Gold and Starlight Silver?

However, despite such beauty, it was still rather dark and quite dusty in some places? Causing the young prince after sending Armored Sword Puppet to lead the way?

The Armor itself was the cruder version of a fully covered Celestial Praetorian Guard with added Elfin Guard elements since this puppet was in fact his own prototype that Ayla and Aurora had helped him with meaning Lightbearer's Magewreath on everything!

Of course there was a big secret behind who's really controlling the puppet itself that only the young prince had truly known.

Along with Aurora's attempt at a Celestial Praetorian Guard Armor? Which in truth was done on purpose? Aurora made her own improvements but not much since it was just a Low-Level Puppet?

Causing the young prince having felt much less lonely with it leading the way to then adorably stay alert since if someone bashed through a secret sealed door in such a way he clearly didn't want to end up the same! Or perhaps that was just Aurea?

Unfortunately, the puppet had soon stopped before then getting into a guard position and examining its surroundings confusing the young prince before then finally noticing what was up ahead?

Before then simply freezing at the sight, the walls were scorched, the carpet covered in tar-like blood, bodies of heavily armored Celestials that looked to be members of both an ancient and elite mage legion surrounded by ashy figures that appeared to be turned into statues?

While that of The Mage Legion's counterparts, The Void Elves didn't fare to much better? What was even worse was the fact that despite being pale all of them looked as if they had looked as if they had just died..

Nothing be it their armors, weapons, or bodies had deteriorated meaning the same went for the puppets he had yet to truly notice.

Causing the young prince after seeing such a chaotic slaughter with zero to no information to then be cut off by Jade scaring him to no end.

"Sorry, bestie! But what I can't imagine is why members of both The Celestial Dragon's Mage Legion Chapter and that of The Void Dragon Mage Legion would be here with so many!"

"See those insignias despite them being quite ancient and outdated now neither could be mistaken! And from what I know both generally appear in full force but these numbers.."

"It could only take three squads of five from either chapter to exterminate a Blight Infestation which is the equivalent of nine whole Legendary Dragons? But from what I see here.. from the markings of their armor I see eight fully equipped Celestial Squadrons?"

Jade quickly explained.

"Each from a different squad and Seven Void Dragon squads? Neither look like they're here for an infestation and neither could have been so easily killed even by Sacred Realm Standards.."

"Not to mention so many puppets who looked to be defending said, members? Wait, look there? That celestial mage puppet over there! Try activating it!"

Jade quickly explained even further having felt baffled causing the now terrified young prince to then hesitantly nod before then activating the Magic Incarnation in his swordsmen puppet in the hopes of it making decisions of its own?

Causing it after seeing such a sight to then look to the young prince and the young prince to then hesitantly point towards to the celestial puppet causing it to then acknowledge it before then slowly backing the young prince up.

While the young prince hesitantly imputed mana into its mana reactor causing it to then light up before then slowly looking to the young prince and simply scanning him.

"Multiple Royal Bloodlines detected, dominant bloodlines, Celestial Ancestral Bloodline detected, Royal Elf Bloodlines detected? Updating calendar to offset such strange readings, calendar failed to update.. to think after five hundred years of service to The Celestial Empire I'd be retiring so soon?"

"Apologies, your majesty, updating objective-failure life stones of all forty of my brothers and sisters have gone dark, checking puppets-error no response? Forty High-Level Archmage Puppets have gone dark, Three Mid-Level Legendary Mage Puppet Commanders are also dark"

"Leaving me the fourth Mid-Level Legendary Mage Puppet Commander in command, objective recover brothers and sisters-failure an Ancestral Celestial Royal currently outranks puppet commander leaving your majesty in command-warning unknown infestation still in the vicinity"

The Puppet Commander warned surprising the young prince causing him then worriedly nod while his puppet checked on the other puppets.

"Na-Name? What Infestation? Who hurt big brother puppet?"

The young prince gently asked having gone into character with the help of Aurea, even if it was still a puppet it was still alive..

The young prince valued life in all forms meaning even puppets deserved sympathy and reassurance causing the puppet commander to then gently nod.

"My apologies to your majesty.. I'm Commander Foxtrot, the brother of all the dead you see?"

"It was hell.. I can try to repair my puppet brothers and sisters but I can't save those brothers and sisters who aren't born of alchemy, my healing spells can do nothing for the dead.. I only pray they meet Celestia in the afterlife?"

"As for the infestation.. It's classified by both The Temples of Celestia, Satela, and Selphine, along with royalty of the highest order, you're the first male Royal of The Elves that I've seen, and you are also a Celestial Prince with an Ancestral Celestial Bloodline and the royal variant as well?"

Commander Foxtrot surprisingly explained before then all but immediately continuing.

"You meet both The Elf and Celestial Exceptions, as for the Void.. I can't be picky that necklace of yours no doubt belongs to Empress Satara so that's enough for me, you've now met all 'three' exceptions.."

"And you are the highest ranking one here so you're entitled to know, I'm a failed Spirit Construct transmuted into a Celestial Commander Puppet"

Commander Foxtrot surprisingly explained further surprising the young prince to no end before then simply nodding having wanted to hear everything without too many interruptions causing The Puppet Commander to then nod once more.

"I'm formerly or I was a part of Celestial Prince Yunari Vulpes Vale son of Queen Regina and Celestial King Altera Vale.. as for the objective I was ordered to keep watch on these men in case The Void Dragon Mage Chapter and their mages tried something funny on our 'joint' mission.."

"Despite Queen Satara being sealed it was allowed that a large contingent of that chapter was to back up my brothers and sisters here, our objective was.. and still is to capture or kill that specimen, the specimen in question was an accident if I ever saw one?"

"An Artisan of The Vares Family a crazy man had used that exiled Malik's method of siphoning the spirit of The Queen of all bugs The Last Queen of Senex? I'm not even sure if there was any other before her? But what that mad man did was throw her into a leftover Ancient Void Spirit Construct.."

Commander Yunari helplessly explained before then quickly continuing where he left off.

"But unfortunately no one knew it contained a Blight Virus intended to kill Ancestral Royals and it ain't exactly picky so when he activated it? I suppose you can guess the rest?"

"It tried tricking everyone while secretly stealing and replacing their essence until finally she was shipped out of Malik's abandoned Laboratory within the unnamed region and to here.."

Commander Yunari explained causing the young prince to then adorably nod and allowing him to continue even further.

"Unfortunately it had again siphoned the energy of several priestesses and even the head priestess without anyone knowing then she threw on priestess robes and into the specimen cells that contained dead blight and destroyed the place"

"What was even worse was the elves forgot to mention they had a Legendary Void Dragon Corpse just laying around"

"And when she found and turned it into the blight it had broken through to the Sacred Realm while we were overwhelmed soon after.. we managed to kill it but we never got close to her before I turned into this sorry state of a puppet?

Commander Yunari explained further all the while trying his best not to laugh both surprising the young prince and scaring him to no end!

Causing him after realizing he no longer has to deal with That Sacred Void Blighted Dragon to then sigh in relief at least until remembering the fact that the blight might still be around while that evil fusion bully was still around as well?

Causing him after several moments to then look to his swordsmen puppet who he decided to name Desman? Before then finally being cut off.

"No activity within one hundred meters, my mage eyes have discovered bodies with similar insignias in piles fifty meters beyond my previous estimation, from what I've seen the puppets of both The Void and Celestials despite being inactive are indeed repairable"

"Unfortunately this unit isn't capable of such repairs, however, if you wish I will be able to store the bodies of both the deceased and puppets within in my spacial ring modular?"

Desman estimated causing the young prince to then hesitantly nod and Desman to then turn off his light and be on his way while the young prince had soon given Commander Yunari a mana core he had intended to give Ayla.

Before then collecting the nearby puppets and body himself.

Causing Yunari after reattaching his legs and arm with ease to then under his armor and place his helmet on once more since in truth he wasn't really proud of being a puppet even if it saved his life?

Causing him after sheathing his now dusty weapons and wiping the dust away to then follow the young prince to the nearest bedroom which had surprisingly two beds, a fireplace, a small workshop, a full-blown bathroom, and a small closet?

Causing the young prince to then adorably place the three legendary puppets on the large table and the others into a space ring since he was still waiting for Desman.

And since Yunari having had reconstructed himself to then simply start working away with what tools he had.

Having experienced doing so since after all Celestial Prince Yunari also loved puppets which indeed helped him on occasion as a puppet himself.

Causing the young prince after tidying up the room and adorably lighting up the fireplace to then adorably peek into the closet?

Before then finding pristine magic fit priestess robes, vails, boots and 'other' female necessities causing his eyes to then adorably sparkle in excitement since there were two ornate ceremonial robes, boots, and accessories!
