Phantasia: The Princess Knight

A foul stench filled the air. Alicia and her group wrapped masks around their faces in order to not breathe the air in. This air was filled with death that would corrode one's body. It did not matter how strong your cultivation was, the air of death would still affect you. Luckily, it was easily blocked by a simple face covering. This was because the air of death could not pass through solid objects. It was also the reason why the Undead country of Phantom Solis was wrapped in a thin barrier that kept the air of death within the boundaries of the country without blocking anyone from entering or leaving.

"So this is the land of the undead. Doesn't look really undead to me… Just weird..." Annelia said as she looked at her surroundings. Her thoughts were true. The place where they were did not look like it should be undead.

There was lush foliage all around. From trees to bushes and grass. This was all normal if it was not for the fact that each of these things looked much weirder than you would expect. The trees seemed to be oozing some kind of green substance while the grass and bushes were almost transparent. There were even some plants with eyes and large mouths. A very unique area indeed. Each and everyone one of these plants was deadly as well. They all took in the air of death to live which made them what they are now. Consuming any of these plants was basically committing suicide.

"It is to be expected. Life here lives off death. The herb we are looking for looks like a ghostly maiden just really small. Just remember do not take off your masks." Alicia warned. She did not want anyone to get death sickness. Once you get it your days would be numbered before you turned into a ghoul. 

"Also watch for undead who will try to pull your masks off. These undead get their kicks from watching live beings being exposed to the air of death." Blake also warned. contemporary romance

"Hold on… We got a visitor." Alicia said with a frown. They had just entered the country and had already run into someone. 

"Little girl why are you in my domain? Did your father not tell you to stay away?" An old man undead said, his skin falling off its bones. 

"You must be the Lich God of Death, Nec'zer. I am here looking for any kind of plant that can help repair a person's soul. Nothing else." Alicia replied.

"Humph!" Nec'zer snorted. "I do not care what you are here for. Take your people and leave my kingdom or I will be forced to make you stay and become a ghoul."

Alicia let out a sigh before releasing her spirit pressure. "You do not have the qualifications to tell me what I can and can not do. I am not here to take your land or start a conflict but I will say this. There is a special herb in this land that I must get no matter what. I will go about my business and not step a single foot into any of your undead cities. But I will be searching your forest and other areas for a herb that can repair a person's soul.. "

Nec'zer felt the pressure and was extremely stunned at how strong the girl had come since the first time they had fought. "What you are doing now could be considered an act of war."

"Nec'zer, if I truly wished to destroy this country I could. I could destroy you and every inhabitant here without a second thought. So I suggest you watch your words. Now, are you going to ignore my presence and let me search for my herb, or are you going to block my way until I need to kill you and your citizens?" Alicia was giving Nec'zer one final ultimatum. She would not let anyone stop her search. This herb was very important to her because it could allow Nomi to be revived from his near death state.

Nec'zer was boiling in rage when he heard Alicia's words. He wanted nothing more than to rip her to shreds but there was nothing he could do about it. He knew the girl could easily wipe him and every undead here off the face of the planet with ease. Gritting his teeth he said: "Fine search but do not blame me if you or one of your friends gets turned into a ghoul from breathing in the air of death."

"Do not worry, I will only hold those responsible for causing such a thing to happen. I will be very nice and send them on their merry way." Alicia responded, not caring for the veins bulging out of Nec'zers forehead.

"Humph! Do not say I did not warn you!" Nec'zer left these words before disappearing.

"Alright, everyone…. Hello?" Alicia turned around to see everyone staring at her.

"Alicia was so cool just now!" Starla suddenly shouted out.

"I know, right? She was all like: 'Now are you going to ignore my presence and let me search for my her, or are you going to block my way until I need to kill you and your citizens?' Ahh! It sent a shiver up my spine." Annelia added in. 

"Now, now. We all knew Alicia would always make a good villain. But to be honest, seeing it all up close, was really exciting." Rose also made sure to add in her own thoughts.

"It does make me wonder who the true villain is. One wants to protect his people so he had no choice but to give in and the other threatens to kill millions if they do not do as she says." Claire said in a dramatic way.

Hearing everyone poking fun at her, Alicia lifted her middle finger at the four who spoke up before walking away. No one actually understood what this action meant.
