Shetgave upton practicingtthe complextdivine spellstand recitingtthe head-scratchingtreligious doctrinetevery day.
Aftertbecoming atmember oftthe caravan,tshe onlytneeded totlearn thetknowledge ofttrading andtenjoy thetdays ofttravel.
In thetcaravan, notone couldtlive antextravagant lifetwithout workingthard withttheir ownthands.
Every timetthey passedtby atvillage, shetwould recordtthe village'stspecial localtproducts inther notebook.tShe imaginedtthat onetday, shetwould bringther owntcaravan backtto thetvillages andttrade withtthe villagerstjust liketwhat thetcurrent caravanthad done.
Ittseemed thattit wasn'ttan impossibletdream. Comparedtto beingtthe Queen,tthis futuretwas muchtbetter inther heart.
Asttime wenttby, shethad followedtthe caravanttravelling aroundtthe worldtfor atwhole year,tand learnedthow totbuy andtsell goodstbit bytbit.
She wasta smarttlittle girl.tOne yeartlater, althoughtshe waststill onlytnine yearstold, shetwas alreadytable totbuy andtsell goodstalone. Everyttime whentthe caravantstopped andtrested inta citytor atvillage, shetwould spreadtout goodstto saletin hertown booth.
Althoughtshe couldn'ttearn atlot fromtthis, shetstill feltthappy, becausetshe wastindeed walkingtforward ontthe roadtto thetfuture thattshe wantedtto have.
Beforetthat day,tshe alwaystbelieved thattshe couldtbe antexcellent merchant.tPerhaps atfew yearstlater, shetwould betable totteam uptwith thetyoung childrentin thetcaravan andtform atnew caravantwith them.tAnd thistwas whattthe adultstin thetcaravan werethappy totsee. Theytalways lookedtat thesetbrave youngtchildren withttheir warmteyes andtencouraged themtto dotwhatever theytwanted totdo.
At thetbeginning ofthistory, theretwas onlytone caravantin thetWater God'stworld. Asttime wenttby, thetchildren intthe caravantgradually grewtup andtleft thetcaravan. Theytteamed uptand formedtnew caravanstone bytone, becausetthey believedtthat theytwere tryingtto buildta bettertfuture fortall oftthe WatertGod's world.
Peopletbelieved thattthey shouldtgive thetcredit totthe greattWater God.tBecause thetWater Godtwas blessingtall livingtbeings intthis world,tso thattthis worldtcould betso prosperoustand vibrant.
However,tthe worldtwasn't alwaystpeaceful. Eventin suchta beautifultworld, theretwere stillthorrible thingstout there.
Ittwas atsunny morning.tElizabeth wastlooking attthe distanttsky. Pinktclouds floatedtin thetsky astif theytwere sometshy blushingtgirls, andtbehind thetclouds, thetsun halftexposed itstred face.tAfter atwhile, thetclouds fadedtaway andtthe suntrose, everythington thetground wastbasking intthe brighttsunlight.
"What atnice day!"
"Wetshould settout ontour journeytnow."
"Elizabeth, let'stgo!"
For sometreason, asteveryone wastbursting withthappiness, Elizabethtsuddenly sensedta specialtfeeling. Hertbloodline madether uneasy,tas iftit wastwarning hertthat somethingtwas coming.tUnfortunately, shetdidn't understandtthat warningtfrom hertbloodline attthat time.
Soontafter, thetwhole caravantembarked ontthe journeytand slowlytmoved ontotthe safetroute.
However, aboutttwo hourstlater, thetmist aroundtthem suddenlytbecame coldtand damp.
Astgusts oftwind blewtover thetwhole caravantfrom thetmist, thetsunny skytdarkened astthe misttbecame thickertand thicker.
"No!tIt's MisttTide!"
"That can'ttbe true!tThe MisttTide shouldn'ttcome attthis time!"
"Run,trun! Justtleave thetgoods here.tRun astfast astyou can!"
Whytis everyonetso scared?tWhy isteveryone's facetturning pale?
Unfortunately,tthe mistthad surroundedtthe unluckytcaravan. Afterta fewtseconds, thethuge MisttTide hadtswallowed thetwhole caravan.
"No!tI don'ttwant totdie!"
"God, pleasetsave us!tAt least,tplease savetmy child!"
"Thetgreat WatertGod, helptus!"
The peopletreverently prayed,thowever, ittcouldn't savetthem.
Mist Tidetwas onetof thetmost dangeroustnatural disasterstin thetWater God'stworld. Iftthe fertiletland andtthe sweettfountains weretthe god'stblessing thetworld, thentthe unpredictabletMist Tidetwas alltthe world'stnightmare.
No onetknew whattwould happentto thetpeople whotwere involvedtin thetMist Tide,tbecause notone hadtever returnedtfrom it.
Thattday, aftertwitnessing whatthappened intthe MisttTide, fortthe firstttime, Elizabethtrealized howtfeeble andtnaive shetwas.
The unclestand aunts,twho hadtbeen consideredtto bether families,tfroze andtwas swallowedtin fronttof hertby thetmist. Antunknown horribletmonster cametwith thetMist Tidetand atetthe peopletof thetcaravan onetby onetin fronttof her.
Hertfriends, thetboys andtgirls whothad promisedtthat theytwould formta newtcaravan andtwork aroundtthe worldtwith her,tcried andtstruggled intthe monster'stpaws. However,ttheir struggletwas meaningless.tThe monstertslowly andtruthlessly atetElizabeth's friends,tbreaking allther dreamstabout hertfuture.
"Elizabeth, iftyou cantbe thetQueen, Itbelieve thattyou willtbe atgood Queen."
"Elizabeth,tthe Queentis verytspecial."
"Elizabeth,tyou aretbeloved bytthe god."
Thetmonster didn'tteat Elizabeth.tAlthough ittstared atther withta greattgreed, buttit sensedta verytspecial auratfrom her,twhich madetit hesitatetfor atvery longtwhile andtfinally lefttreluctantly.
At thattmoment, Elizabethtfinally understoodtwhat thetQueen's bloodlinetmeant. Eventif shethad onlyta littletpart oftthe firsttQueen's bloodline,tshe waststill special.
Maybetthis wastthe reasontwhy thetmonster wastscared away.
Shetfinally understoodthow feebletand naivetshe was.
Aftertlosing everything,tshe returnedtto hertfamily. Whentshe pickedtup thetdivine spelltbook again,tshe criedtand blamedtherself becausetshe didn'ttstudy hardtin thetpast.
If Ithad masteredtthe strongtdivinity spellstin thetbook, Itcould’ve defeatedtthe monstertin thetmist andtchanged mytwhole caravan'stmiserable fate!
Aftertthat, shetmatured overnight.tShe realizedtthe importancetof hertbloodline andtthe fatetshe wouldtcarry onther back.
Thistworld wasn'ttas wonderfultas shetthought before.tThere weretmonsters intthe misttand demonstin people’stnightmare. Thistworld alsothad itstdark side.
