Chapter 104: Phoenix Tears
The moment Diya opened the box, the whole room started glowing with blue light for a moment.
Diya's eyes shone as she looked towards the box. A beautiful pendant and a blue jewel could be seen in the middle of that pendant, and it was attached into a gold chain.
"A pendant," Diya mumbled as she looked towards the pendant, and her gaze went towards the old man Leon as he looked at her with a smile.
"Go ahead, touch it," he said.
Diya nodded her head towards Leon and the moment Diya touched the pendant, it disappeared from everyone's sight and appeared around her neck.
Seeing this, she was taken aback along with Yohan and Alena. Both Alena's and Yohan's gaze went towards the pendant.
Indeed, that pendant was beautiful. The moment that pendant appeared around her neck, that jewel flickered with blue light for a moment and it became normal after a moment.
"This is for you, daughter. This thing will keep you safe. That jewel you are seeing in the middle of the pendant is a Heavenly Item." The old man Leon looked towards Diya as he said those words.
Diya, along with Yohan and Alena, looked towards the old man Leon as they heard the word Heavenly from Leon's mouth.
Seeing their curious gazes, Leon smiled.
"That blue jewel is the Tear of a Phoenix. The thing inside that pendant is not a jewel, it is the Tear of a Phoenix. It is the symbol of immortality," Leon explained to them.
"Phoenix Tears," Yohan mumbled as he looked at Leon. Alena also looked towards her father with a curious gaze as she became interested after hearing the name of the Phoenix.
"Father, this kingdom is also called the Phoenix Kingdom. Is that thing related to this kingdom?" Alena looked towards Leon as she said those words.
"Yes, my child. Millions of years ago, there were divine beasts that used to roam around this world, and the Phoenix was one of them. Very few people know about the real truth. Once, a divine Phoenix used to live here.
The whole kingdom was her terrain, but something unexpected happened as all of the divine beasts left this world and disappeared, but this place became the Phoenix Kingdom," the old man Leon explained.
Diya, Yohan and Alena were carefully listening to the history of this kingdom in which they currently lived.
"I would have never expected that," Yohan mumbled as he looked towards Leon. Diya also nodded her head as she heard the explanation.
"Well, few people know about this. The rest of the people think it's just a name but they don't know the real history behind this kingdom," he replied to Yohan and the next moment his gaze went towards Alena.
"Tch, Alena, how many times did I tell you this story, but you never passed it to Yohan." Leon looked towards Alena as he said those words.
Alena nodded her head and a bitter smile appeared on her face.
"He didn't give me a single chance to tell him a story, as he was always busy in his own world." Alena took a sigh as she said those words.
Diya and Leon looked towards Yohan with furious gazes as they had not expected this.
"TCH! That bastard," Yohan cursed himself inwardly. He knew he couldn't do anything about this, but he knew one thing: that things were different now.
Seeing Yohan's timid expression, Alena chuckled as she approached Yohan and she hugged him from behind as he was sitting on the bed.
"It's okay, I can tell you a story whenever you feel down. You are still my son and you will remain a kid to me, always, no matter how big you become. You will remain a precious gem to me. Always remember this," Alena said.
Seeing this Diya and Leon smiled, along with Yohan.
"Yes, mother, I will always remain a kid for you," he replied to Alena as he kissed her on the right cheek.
And next moment his gaze went towards Diya's neck.
"So, this thing is a Tear of a Phoenix, where did you get this, grandpa?" Yohan mumbled as he looked at Leon.
"Well, that thing is priceless! Nothing in the world could compensate for it, as this thing belongs to a divine beast, and for your next question, 'where did I find this' - it's a secret." He smiled as he said those words.
"This thing is priceless, like Diya, it suits you very well." Yohan smiled towards her as he said those words.
Diya's face turned red as she heard those words and she nodded her head.
"I will cherish this forever. Thank you for this, grandpa Leon," Diya said.
"I am glad you like it," Leon responded. seeing the smile on Diya's face.
Diya felt overwhelmed as she received this treasure from Leon. Happiness could be seen on her face as she was looking towards the pendant around her neck, hanging from a golden chain.
Yohan cleared his throat as he looked towards Alena.
"Mother, I am sorry that your birthday was ruined, but take this," Yohan mumbled as he looked towards Alena and the next moment he took out a golden box from his Dimensional Ring.
Alena was taken aback after seeing this. The old man Leon also looked towards the box with a serious gaze.
"What is this? I don't need anything as long as you are safe, my child, who cares about birthdays?'' Alena looked towards Yohan as she said those words.
Yohan smiled towards her.
"Open it yourself. I meant to give it to you on your special day but things didn't go well," he said with a sad expression.
Alena petted Yohan's head and nodded.
"It's okay, I am very happy that you bought something for me." She smiled towards Yohan.
Diya and Leon also smiled after seeing this. Alena nodded her head and the next moment she opened the box.
"This..." The old man Leon exclaimed as he looked towards the red core inside that box. Alena's face became bright after seeing the core that was dazzling with red light.
She looked towards Yohan.
"What is this thing? This is very pretty," Alena said.
"Yes, it is very pretty. It looks very beautiful," Diya also said as she looked towards that small red core, which was dazzling with red light.
Before Yohan responded to Alena, the old man Leon approached Alena as he looked towards the red core once again and he took a deep breath.
"This thing is a dragon core, another treasure, just like the Phoenix Tears," he said as he looked at Alena and Diya.
