Chapter 28 - Chapter 28 Talent Tree

Solar speaks of the first thing in the queen's wills, which is to follow mermaid's lost song that guides you to reach lost island.

Solar: At the platform nine and three fourths, I watched out at the distance, waiting for the train paddling between the muggle world and the magic world. I bid my farewell to hometown, carried with luggage and magic dream, and got in the train. Which brought me to the magic world, where I was gonna enter the Dark Church to study dark art.

Lunar listens to his stories quietly, recalling the first day she went to the Dark Church, when she saw her own reflection in his stories.

Lunar: You have waited at the platform nine and three fourths where I used to wait at; you have taken the train which I used to take; you have entered the Dark Church to study dark art, as I did, when I was in your own age. You are like my own reflection, but you will move forward a future that I can't imagine. Tell me what happened in the train?

Solar: In the train, I heard people talked about rumours and latest news. They talked about a freshman survived through thirsty rounds of magic combats at the colosseum; they talked about the dark pope highlighted a freshman; they talked about this year mermaid princess was gonna enter the Dark Church to study dark art.

Lunar: Mermaid princess? Was she in the train?

Solar: Mermaid princess was a super singing star in the muggle world, who possessed the God-blessed throat, which allowed her to sing like an angel and charm the others with her angelic songs. She would have caused the crowds gathering, if she was in the train. She must have been at the Dark Church a few days in advance.

Lunar: What type of song does she sing?

Solar: The song of love and loss.

Lunar: Do you listen to her songs?

Solar: Yes.

Lunar: Did you invite her to sing you a mermaid's lost song?

Solar: No.

Lunar: Why not?

Solar: I'd love to invite her to sing a song, but I was afraid that I can't afford the price.

Lunar: What price?

Solar: I heard that someone bids one million dollars to invite her to sing one single song in the concert. He must be a billionaire, but I was not.

Lunar: Who did you invite at last?

Solar: Her maid.

Lunar: What did her maid reply to you, when you invited her?

Solar: She said that she'd love to sing me a song, but she has to ask for princess's permission, before she could sing me a song.

Lunar: What did mermaid princess say, when she heard her maid's requirement?

Solar: She asked her maid to inform me to waite at the cafe bar, where she often visits, and has a cup of coffee in the afternoon.

Lunar: You did go to meet her, right?

Solar: How could I possibly miss my opportunity to ask for mermaid's lost song?

Lunar: What is your first impression on mermaid princess?

Solar: She is really beautiful with super star's vibe, but she is nice to everybody. When she looks at me, I never saw the indifference in her eyes of the fortunate towards the less fortunate. She asks the reason why would I invite her maid to sing a song.

Lunar: How did you reply to her?

Solar: I told her the truth that I'm gonna follow mermaid's lost song that guides me to reach lost island.

Lunar: What did she say, when she heard your reason?

Solar: She said that lost island was lost five hundred years ago, and the only one way to reach lost island is through mermaid's lost song, which her maid can't sing, but she can.

Lunar: Could she possibly sing you a song?

Solar: She agreed to sing me a song, but she had three conditions.

Lunar: What conditions?

Solar: She asked me to be her bodyguard for seven days, to take her to lost island, and to compose a song for her.

Lunar: What type of song did she ask for?

Solar: It's a song about the theme of love's complexity and simplicity.

Lunar: You did agree with her, right?

Solar: Yeah. I would have missed my pleasure of listening to mermaid princess's lost song, if I turned her down.

Lunar: What did you see in your mind, when you listened to mermaid's lost song?

Solar: I saw a beautiful mermaid jumping out water.

Lunar: Who was she?

Solar: A beautiful mermaid, looked like a beautiful Russian girl, with reddish curly hairs, pure clean eyes, and pale pearl face. She dressed in blue skirt, swimming against tides toward lost island in the embrace of Arctic Ocean.

Lunar: What brought you there?

Solar: Space portal girl. She can directly take us to lost island through space portal, as long as she can picture lost island's location in her mind.

Lunar: She did do you a favor, right?

Solar: I would have missed the pleasure of her company, if she didn't. She agreed to take us to lost island through space portal, but she had a question.

Lunar: What question?

Solar: She wondered the reason why would we go to lost island.

Lunar: Did you tell her the truth?

Solar: Yes. I required them to keep this secret, before I told them that we are gonna go to find talent tree at lost island.

Lunar: What happened next?

Solar: She grabbed on our hands, and brought us to lost island through space portal. She made the same mistake, as she first came to my house. We accidentally arrived in Green Island, where was twenty miles away from lost island.

Lunar: How could you reach lost island?

Solar: Mr Whale. Mermaid princess chanted a love song upon Arctic Ocean surface, where a white whale jumped out water, and brought us to lost island.

Lunar: Five hundred years ago, I planted a little tree at lost island. Five hundred years later, I wonder how is talent tree now?

Solar: It has become a centuries-old tree with five hundred rings and a fresh shade.
