Rebirth of the Lady Sovereign

Chapter 1 Death and Rebirth

Inside the dark forest, a lady was running at great speed with a sword in her right hand and she was firmly clutching something on her left hand. Her clothes were tattered and were soaked in red blood. As she ran towards the darkest part of the forest, blood dripped down with every step she takes leaving a trail of blood.

"She went towards the inner region of the Dark Mist forest, quickly follow her", said a hooded man in black looking at the trail of blood.

One after another, a group of men went towards the inner region of the dark mist forest.

Not long after, a lady dressed in black with a purple cape arrived in that same place with a group of people following behind her. Holding a fiery red colored whip in her hand, she said with a wicked smile on her face, "Sovereign Althea, let's see how long you can run"

In the inner region of the Dark mist forest, Althea continued to run under the cover of the towering trees. Behind her was a group of men following her.

Althea gritted her teeth and said under her breath, "The four great powers, If I make out of this forest alive I will make sure to return the debt ten-fold. And even if I have to die in this forest, I will take the Dragon token with me"

Clutching the Dragon token in her left hand, Althea sat down and leaned on the stone under the tree gasping for breath. Blood covered her entire body and unknown to her the Dragon token was absorbing the blood on her hand.

"Here you are, Lady Sovereign"

A man dressed in a Green robe with long leather boots jumped down from the tree while looking at Althea with malicious intent. He had short blonde hair with brown eyes, on his black corset hung a small dagger made of black iron.

"Lord Griffon, I have been fooled by your fake pretense. I never would have thought that the number one Practitioner of the Rainbow cloud Academy who is known for upholding justice is a total scum", said Althea wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth.

"Indeed deserving of your title as the youngest and only lady sovereign of the Hall of Mage, even at your death's door you are as calm as an ocean", said Lord Griffon playing with the dagger on his corset.

"I think I arrived at the right moment," said an old man with gray hair and beard dressed in White as he descended from the sky.

"Grandmaster Vivan of the Alchemist Guild, you are as punctual as ever", said Lord Griffon in a sarcastic tone.

"Well, I guess I am a little late for the show", said the Hooded man in black as he appeared out of the darkness.

Not long after, a lady in a Purple cape also descended from a flying beast.

"Lady Azuya of the Beast Tamer organization and President Mithan of Black Tower is here too. Now that all the Five powers had gathered together, what should we do", said Lord Griffon with a smile on his face.

Althea looked at all the powerful figures from the four great powers who had been chasing after her for the Dragon token and started laughing.

"All of you are blinded by the greed for power, I wonder what will happen after I die because there is only Dragon token"

Saying that Althea raised her hand and drew some intricate characters with her fingers on the empty air.

"Quickly stop her, she is setting up a spirit barrier so that she can stall for time to destroy the Dragon token", said Lady Azuya as she swung her whip towards Althea.

Althea stopped her movement and said with a smirked, "Too late"

A loud sound was produced as the whip hit the invisible barrier.
