The Explorers of the Universe

Sagittarius Light

Prince Sagi felt something slightly warm touching his face. The prince opened his eyes. It's still night, he thought.

The prince gasped as he saw a ball of light the size of a hand grip hovering in his room. The ball of light moved up and down, then approached him. The ball of light touched his face and the Prince felt warm as it touched him.

The prince looked around. “There must be a witch in this room. Show yourself, Witch! Don't hide!” gertak Prince.

Nothing came up anymore, nor was anyone in his room. The prince stared at the ball of light.

The white glowing orb slowly approached the Prince. The prince dared to touch her. It seemed like the ball of light was not mean to be evil.

The prince reached for the ball of light. When his hand managed to grasp the ball, a huge light burst out from the ball. The light filled the contents of the space and instantly vanished.

Prince Sagi was now standing in a space with a white light. His eyes had to adapt to the glow of light. He spreads his view. Where is this?

This place is so wide without edges. There's nothing here. There was only a vacuum with light that filled every contents of space. The prince realized he was not in his room. There is no bed where he sleeps.

The prince was still wearing sleeping pants, but not wearing any clothes. He feels more comfortable sleeping without a top and letting the blanket warm him up. His body formed by routine exercises is very clearly visible results when he does not wear a single superior.

“Sagittarius,” a voice echoing in the air. The prince rolled his eyes. There's no one.

The prince remained calm and alert. He thought a witch had brought him to this place.

Before long a light gathered in a single point and condensed itself. The light formed an adult man in robed clothes. There did not appear the look and aura of a witch to the man.

“Sagittarius, crown prince who has a strong heart. Your strong and written heart makes the people around you like and admire you. In you shimmered an amazing light,” the man spoke as if he had been living with Prince Sagi since childhood.

“Who are you?” ask Prince. “Do you want to bring me here?” he remained calm but firm.

“My name is Luid Cornius. You are no stranger to that name, right? You are the one who has activated the forbidden spell and released my soul,” said the man.

“I don't understand. What do you mean by a forbidden spell and activate it,” replied the Prince. He remembered the name Luid Cornius was the name written on the old book he read before blasting the light.

“I'll explain everything. But there is one condition. You have to believe everything I say. Don't ask me before I finish my explanation. Ready?” abugn.

Prince weighing. “What if I don't trust you?” ask Prince.

“If you don't believe. Then all the plans I've made for you won't work.”

The prince thought again. On one hand he was curious about the plan that the man had made. “Alright, I will trust you,” he said.

The man begins his story and explanation. He said that he was the King who ruled when the attack of the Sky Force came. That means Sagi is a grandson who knows how many generations after him.

King Luid knows the name Sagittarius when light pushes and permeates his body. He was named as closely as possible to a Prince of the previous generation who disappeared, but made as different as possible. The face of Prince Saga on the painting stored in the castle will be counted as a painting of Prince Sagi if people do not know the year of manufacture. Prince Sagi has the full name Sagittarius. Sagittarius is the closing star of the year. The meaning means starlight at the peak of glory.

As King Luid recounted the events of the Sky Force attack, a cluster of lights gave a very real picture of the event. It was as if the footage was saved and replayed.

“The second attack will return with a very powerful force. That's what I saw from my time travel,” closed King Luid.

“I already know about the Sky Force attack. But I realized I wasn't quite ready to deal with it. All the preparations that the kingdom is preparing are not comparable to the strength that the King showed.” Prince Sagi decided to call him King, not grandfather.

Prince Sagi did not mince words. “I beg for guidance from you who have seen the future. What should I do?” tanyakanya.

“That's what I want to offer you next. I can give you the ability to explore your own planet. Discover the relics of the ancient kingdom buried deep in the ocean. Those relics will be very useful for you to fight against the Sky Force,” said King Luid.

Then the luminous room turned into a vast sea view. Prince Sagi and King Luid were already floating above the ocean reflecting the sunlight.

Prince Sagi looked around. So real and magical. How could this man take her out of that wall. This man definitely had high strength and had activated many spells.

“I'm ready. For the sake of the people and the kingdom I will do it!” prince Sagi.

King Luid smiled. He felt proud of his descendants who had this sincere courage and intention.

“Will but what about the kingdom I left behind?” ask Prince. He remembered his mother who would have worried him if he wasn't around.

“Take it easy. I've arranged it. I will return to the kingdom and activate my embodiment spell. I will be you and take your place temporarily. But the spell was very limited. It can only be used at sunrise. At night the mantra was inactive,” said King Luid.

Prince Sagi nodded and entrusted the kingdom to King Luid. He was sure that as a King, King Luid knew what to do in the kingdom.

The conveying King Luid was aware that if he activated the embodiment spell after his physical body was lost, he would vanish if the embodiment spell was no longer active. That is, his now-living soul would be completely lost if he activated the embodiment spell after his active time was up.

“I hope you come back in time,” said King Luid.

King Luid recites a mantra. Then the light rotated on the Prince Sagi's body. Before long Prince Sagi had been fully dressed with a protector from the attack. In his hand was already clutched a glass box containing grains of sand given by the Queen.

King Luid then rubbed the left arm of Prince Sagi and appeared a spell that then seeped into his skin.

“If you have completed this mission, wipe your left arm with your eyes closed. Then read this mantra. Then you will return to the kingdom. We meet in the kingdom at the right time, no later than a week before the blue moon appears. Because if you are late, we will not meet again,” said King Luid. He would activate the embodiment spell until the time he promised the Prince. Through it the spell is no longer active and it will disappear.

“Good, I understand. I will come according to the deadline the King gave me. I will complete this mission,” said the Prince.

“The sand powder on the glass box is a sand powder collection of a King from the Kingdom of Deltatu in antiquity who was awarded to the Kingdom of Ferrata. You can use that sand to help you,” said King Luid.

“How will this sand help me?” ask Prince Sagi.

“Crack one of the parts on that glass box. Then sprinkle the sand on your body,” said King Luid.

Prince Sagi complied. He broke one side of the glass with his elbow. Then he sprinkled the living sand onto his body. The sand immediately crawled through his body and permeated every pore of his skin.

Prince Sagi sensed that something was moving in every single strand of his blood. Then not how long his body felt so light.

“Now think of your body as melting like desert sand,” said king Luid.

Prince Sagi followed that direction. He thought of the sand that was floating in the wind. He is very focused and calm. Another strange thing that surprised him appeared. His body slowly dried up and turned into a grain of sand that floated around him.

“You can change your body like soft sand, and can return it to your original body if you want it,” explained King Luid.

That explanation gave the Prince some relief that he remained fine.

“Now go. Explore this ocean. Find what you're looking for. I know there is something you want to look for at the bottom of this ocean,” said King Luid.

Prince Sagi knew that King Luid had already read his mind through that burst of light. He focused his body into sand.

“Then I'll go. I leave the kingdom to the King,” said the Prince. His entire body slowly became sand. Until it finally became a lump of sand that moved and floated in the air.

The sand flew away from King Luid.
