Chapter 2
Third person's POV
"Your highness, I will introduce myself first because I am the first to be the protector of Auxier Stone, my name is Lucas Collymore, and I am 22 years old, just like you. The power I possess in Auxier Stone is a Dark Power." Lucas introduced himself with a bow, and Nivia nodded.
"I'm the second protector of Auxier Stone, my name is Logan Adler, and I'm 22 years old. Like Lucas said, we're all the same age as you, and the power I have is Teleportation Power." Logan bowed and introduced himself.
"I'm the third protector, my name is Aiden Ledger, and the power I possess is Fire," Aiden introduced.
"I am Wyatt Zimmerman, the fourth protector of Auxier Stone, and the power I have is Wind Power." Wyatt formally introduced himself.
"I'm Isaac Pierce, the fifth protector of Auxier Stone, and my power is Water Power." Nivia put her hands under her chin. She was curious about the nine protectors as Isaac introduced himself.
"I'm the sixth protector, my name is Jaxon Finnegan, and I have the power of electricity." Jaxon introduced himself.
"I'm the seventh protector. The name is Elias Curran. The power I possess is Earth," Elias said as Nivia thought everyone was male except the shy female who couldn't look at Nivia.
"Ezekiel Windward, I'm the eight protectors. I have healing power, and I'm the most crucial protector to save Auxier's master when your life is in danger," Ezekiel explained. Nivia nodded, and the girl next to Ezekiel was the next one to introduce herself.
She didn't say anything, which perplexed Lucas because she is the one who is shy when they have a new master of the Auxier.
"It's okay if you can't introduce yourself right now. Take your time, and this is all of a sudden to me; you can tell me when you're ready," Nivia said as the girl looked at Nivia and felt even more embarrassed.
"Your highness, please accept my apologies; she is shy. Valeria is an Irish woman. She is a herbalist who specializes in potions and medicines and an alchemist; she is like this when the new master of Auxier is chosen. "Lucas nodded and gesticulated to Nivia.
"This has happened all of a sudden. By the way, my name is Nivia Genesis. Now tell me what Auxier Stone is and why it chose me." Nivia inquired, and Lucas was the one to respond because he is one of the protectors who is aware of the Auxier Stone's history and why the stone can still be used.
"You may now sit; are you waiting for my signal to allow you to do so? Don't be shy; I'm still not used to it, but I'll get used to it," Nivia inquired, and as the nine protectors sat down, she sat down.
"Allow me to explain, your highness. Of course, we will wait for your signal to sit down. We are trained and have respect for you now. Then let me discuss what the Auxier Stone is," Lucas said, and Nivia is waiting for the Auxier Stone story to be told.
"The Auxier Stone came from this location in 1900, now the Kingdom of Auxier. The first master of the Auxier Stone is a brave man who fought alongside us but died, saving everyone from evil spirits. He is a nobleman, and the nine of us will never forget what he did. We are possessed by the power of the Auxier Stone, which is half of its power; the first master chose who would possess the half power of the Auxier Stone." Lucas began to tell Nivia about Auxier Stone's history.
"Will it take a long time or a short time to tell me?" Nivia inquired, and Lucas laughed a little.
"Don't be concerned, princess, or should we call you our master? This won't take long; I'll keep the story short. You need to know how to use the Auxier Stone, which you now possess, and the current master," Lucas stated, and Nivia simply nodded.
"Alright, you can call me princess or master; it's fine, but in front of my parents, call me princess; continue your story," Nivia said. Lucas thought their current master was a trustworthy individual.
"The Auxier Stone possesses the same power that we do, which means you can use the same power that we do. It contains the nine powers that you can use, but you must exercise caution when using them. For example, when your life is in danger, you cannot use your healing power; this is why you have your protector, which is us." Lucas went on, and Nivia was ecstatic because she had learned about using the Auxier Stone and its history.
"We investigate another stone, Auxier. It appears to have it to other people who possess it, but the Auxier Stone is the most powerful. It can make you immortal if you are reincarnated and become its owner again." Nivia, according to Lucas, was taken aback.
"How did you find out? You said all of the previous masters died? Does this imply that the Auxier Stone recognizes that the last master is unworthy of the next generation?" Nivia inquired, and Lucas nodded.
"I just know that he didn't trust us when our previous master died. Although we were loyal to him and protected him, we respected him for what he did. The Auxier Stone denied his life to find a worthy and trustworthy person to hold the Auxier Stone for all eternity." Lucas responded to Nivia's inquiry.
"That's great. I'm not reading a supernatural novel. My parents have never told me anything about Auxier City's history; they just want me to study hard and find a prince to be the next crowned queen. I never imagined that the Auxier Stone would pick me." Nivia spoke up, and Lucas noticed that their master was upset.
"Master, what's the matter with you?" Logan inquired, and Nivia forced a smile.
"I don't want to be the next queen because my brother is far away, and I don't know when he will return, and I don't know why my mother and father don't trust my brother to be the next crown king," Nivia said. The nine protectors were shocked by what they heard as they continued to listen.
"It's okay. We are here for you. We will cover you if they force you to marry someone you don't know you have the freedom to choose," Lucas said, and Nivia smiled as she thought that she had made a new bunch of friends who were her protector.
"Thank you for making me feel better now, then. Please continue telling me about the Auxier Stone," Nivia said, and Lucas nodded.
"Right, the first master told us that the Auxier Stone can give the nine protectors immortality once we obtain the half of Auxier Stone," Lucas said, and Nivia stood up.
"That's fantastic! I'll give you the half stone so you nine can live forever!" Lucas intervenes to prevent Nivia from acting rashly.
"You can't right now, we want to be loyal to you first and protect you, and we have enemies for sure, so we have to earn that before you give it to us," Lucas said, and Nivia giggled again.
"I'm sorry I got excited," Nivia replied, scratching her chin.
"You are such a funny master, but you will learn in time," Aiden stated.
"If we obtain half of the Auxier Stone, we will become immortal, and once you have been reincarnated, we will search for you until we find you, and we will have a signal where we will be summoned again in place of Auxier because that is where the Auxier Stone came from," Lucas stated. Nivia simply nodded, looking at the wall clock in the secret chamber located in the library.
"I appreciate the story, but I believe I must depart; is that all you have to say about Auxier Stone?" As she stood up, Nivia inquired of Lucas.
"That's all; if there's anything else I need to tell you about it, I'll tell you right away," Lucas responded.
"With due respect, how do I introduce you to my father and mother?" Nivia inquired, and Lucas considered it.
"I think it's okay to let her parents know about the Auxier Stone, is it?" Irish speak, and everyone looked at her.
"It's risky because her parents will be envious of the Auxier Stone Power, so we'll introduce ourselves as your friends," Lucas suggested as Nivia made a poker face.
"Really? They won't believe you just waited here in the secret chamber with no one else but me; I'll be back and fetch some food," Nivia said as she exited the Secret Chamber.
