章 15: The Prophecy
One day, Li Xue and Lanfen were swimming through the palace gardens when they came across a gathering of mermaid elders. Intrigued, they approached and listened intently as the oldest mermaid, Madam Xian, recounted a prophecy of old.
"In a time of great turmoil," Madam Xian began, her voice wavering, "a mermaid princess, gullible and innocent, will bring about the kingdom's destruction. Her actions shall lead to the downfall of our people, and chaos shall reign."
The crowd of mermaids murmured uneasily, glancing at Li Xue with concern. Li Xue, however, remained calm, absorbing the words and processing their implications. Once the gathering dispersed, she turned to Lanfen, her expression determined.
"Lanfen, I must find a way to prevent this prophecy from coming true. If I am the one who will cause the kingdom's destruction, I must do everything in my power to stop it."
Lanfen nodded, her eyes filled with admiration for Li Xue's resolve. "I'll help you, Li Xue. Together, we'll find a way to change the course of the future."
Over the following weeks, Li Xue and Lanfen immersed themselves in the study of the prophecy, seeking clues that might help them prevent the predicted catastrophe. They consulted scholars and sought the counsel of the kingdom's most knowledgeable figures, determined to uncover any information that might help them.
During their research, Li Xue came across an ancient text that caught her attention. It described a series of powerful artifacts scattered across the mermaid world, each one holding the potential to alter the course of history. Intrigued, Li Xue wondered if these artifacts could be the key to preventing the prophecy's fulfillment.
"Lanfen, look at this," she said, excitement in her voice. "If we can find these artifacts and unlock their powers, perhaps we can change our destiny and save the kingdom."
Lanfen examined the text carefully, her eyes widening as she grasped the magnitude of Li Xue's discovery. "This could be our answer, Li Xue. But it won't be easy. We'll need to embark on a dangerous journey, and there's no guarantee we'll succeed."
Li Xue nodded, her expression resolute. "I understand the risks, Lanfen. But I must try. If there's even the slightest chance that we can prevent the destruction of our kingdom, I'm willing to face whatever challenges come our way."
With a shared sense of purpose, Li Xue and Lanfen prepared to embark on their quest to find the powerful artifacts, driven by their desire to defy the prophecy and protect the Mermaid Kingdom from a tragic fate.
