Phantasia: The Princess Knight

"What powerful background!? If there was such a race out there, wouldn't they have already taken over the universe? This little girl has made our Heaven Falls Sect look like fools! We will undo this shame and at the same time gain technology that will make our Heaven Falls Sect rise to the top." The Sect Master yelled. He couldn't help but feel angered by the little girl who wiped out his entire forward team. Just thinking about it made his blood boil. 

"Sect Master, I strongly disagree! If it is a hidden race and they kept to themselves. If we really did anger these beings then wouldn't we just be asking to be wiped o..."

"Nonsense! How powerful is our sect!? We have held on to many worlds within the inner worlds. Some unknown being is not going to harm us! Send down my message, the main force is to move out! We will begin forceful annexation of all planets!" The Sect Master who was now red in his face yelled. He looked at the elder who was sitting next to him with a furrowed brow. "Old Nine you may not agree to my actions but I am doing this for the good of our Sect!" 

"Do as you see fit but the young ones under my wing will not be helping in this endeavor." Old Nine stood up and left after leaving these words, not giving the Sect Master a chance to say anything back.

Watching Old Nine leave the Sect Master let out a sigh. Waving his hand to dismiss the other elders he said: "The rest of you do as I say..." 

On a misty mountain peak, Old Nine stood in front of his disciples with a faint smile on his old face. "As of today, those who wish to follow me can follow me. Those who wish to stay at the sect can stay at the sect. I will not force you to leave with me. I plan to go out and search for an individual. I do not plan to come back to this world for a long long time."

Old Nine had made up his mind on his way to his mountain peak. He would find the little girl who had destroyed his sects forward team and join her. From all the information he could get from the green robed old man, he came to realize that the little girl was only doing things to defend her home planet from being invaded. He also did not agree with invading the other worlds that were not part of the sect. The Sect Master had gone too far in wanting to raise the power of the sect within the inner worlds. He was scared to fight those who were stronger so he spread his way towards the outer worlds. This was already a taboo in the inner worlds to not get involved with the outer worlds and ruin their development. The Sect Master broke this taboo. All because the various powers were vying for power within the inner worlds.

"Master I am willing to follow you!" A handsome young man announced. He had mediocre talent but even so, his Master still took him in and gave him many resources to help him rise to the cultivation level he was at today. He would never forget this act of kindness.

"Me too!" A young girl shouted out. After the second came a third until finally after twenty of the few hundred or so cultivators who called this mountain peak home had spoken up. 

"Then I must ask those who wish to follow to gather their things we will be leaving in one hour." Old Nine looked at the twenty young ones who wished to follow him and nodded in approval. He did not want these young ones to be corrupted by the nature of this sect.

When an hour passed the Heaven Falls Sect had one elder and twenty disciples disappear. Inside the main hall, a disciple walked up to the Sect Master and whispered into his ear. "If he left then so be it. Old Nine has never liked this plan in the first place."

Alicia was sipping tea while gently rocking Destiny back and forth in her arms. Blake sat beside her, his arm around Alicia's waist as he gently smiled at Alicia and Destiny. "We may be out here for years to come." Alicia said as she leaned her head on Blake's shoulder.

"Even so, at least we will be able to keep our world safe and make sure this will never happen again." Blake said as he kissed the top of Alicia's head. 

"Mmm… Let us just hope this is the case." Alicia wanted her world to be at peace. Since young, war after war has been happening and she was really getting tired of it. If it was not threats from neighboring countries it was threats from other worlds. She just wanted an end to it all.

"Princess I do not mean to interrupt your private time but a group of cultivators has been spotted." One of the ship's crew members came into the room and announced.

"Oh? Then let's go take a look." Alicia got up and carried Destiny with her as they went to the command deck. But to her surprise what she saw was not a group of soldiers but an old man with some of the younger generation following behind him. "Pull us out of the void and appear in front of them."
