The Medallion

"That will be quite troublesome. Only the emperors are bestowed with the knowledge of entering the forbidden area of the royal family. Moreover, every Witch of the Holy Dragon Empire shall be buried in the forbidden area after their death. With their united soul power guarding the place, even if we do find how to enter, actually making it inside will be next to impossible," Marcia explained. She knew that this was not as simple a task as Rocky thought it would be.

After listening to her explanation, he was certain that their hope was slim.

Marcia sighed seeing the grim expression on his face. "Let's talk to Lena. After all, she is the Witch of the Holy Dragon Empire, and it is said that the forbidden area was built by the first Witch with her own power. Although only the emperors know how to enter inside the area, Lena may have some clues that might help," she added after a moment of thought.

"Yes, let's do that. She's the only one who can help us." Rocky nodded in understanding and then sent for Lena.

When she joined them, Rocky filled her in about what had happened the previous night. Lena was surprised when she heard that the emperor was imprisoned by the Dragon Master Clan. When Rocky asked about the forbidden area, she couldn't help but frown. Shaking her head slightly, Lena said, "Alston asked about this as well. He had pestered me for half a year, but I really don't know how to enter the forbidden area. That information is passed down only to the emperors."

Marcia had a thought. "Lena, didn't the Witches record important events that happened in the empire? We might be able to find some clues in the records."

"Oh yes! Why didn't I think of that?" Lena fretted and immediately opened her Magic Spiritual Space. She grabbed The Witch's Book she had brought from the secret room of the Witch Palace.

"This is The Witch's Book. It contains records of important events that the Witches of the Holy Dragon Empire have experienced throughout history. You might find some clues in it," Lena said as she handed over the book to Rocky.

"Am I allowed to read it?" Rocky asked as he stared at the book in his hand.

"Absolutely not. But I am not allowing you to read it. You are only picking it up because I dropped it accidentally," said Lena with a wink. The events recorded in the book were top secrets of the Holy Dragon Empire. In addition to the Witch, only the emperor had the right to look through them after receiving permission from the Witch.
