"To this day, she remains asleep with the Sacred Land of the Phoenix Tribe," he said at last.
"So… she's still alive, isn't she?" Celeste asked lightly. Her voice was trembling slightly, beyond her own control.
The High Priest looked at her and gave her a solemn nod. "Yes. We have done all we could to sustain her life force. It is just that, all these years, she has shown no signs of waking."
Celeste seemed to lose all her power and almost fell to the floor when Veyra held her into his arms from behind. She gripped the 'Moon Blade' tightly in her hand before asking, "May I see her?"
"Certainly," the High Priest answered instantly, without hesitating at all. "The Phoenix Tribe has guarded her for centuries, and we are all waiting for the day when someone has the ability to wake her up."
"Kane, you wait over here. Without my command, do not allow anyone to step into here," the High Priest ordered before leading Celeste the way toward the Sacred Lands.
