Rumors and tales of the white haired hero who single handedly defeated Venomweaver reached every corner of the land. People hailed Arthfael as a symbol of hope and courage, the one who could bring about a new era of peace and prosperity.As days passed, Arthfael's fame and reputation grew even further. He became the center of attention and received invitations from noble houses, scholars, and dignitaries who sought his counsel and sought to understand the truth behind the ancient prophecy.However, amidst the admiration and celebration, Arthfael remained grounded and focused. He knew that defeating Venomweaver was just the beginning of his journey. There were still many challenges ahead, and he had to unlock the full potential of Soulfire to fulfill the prophecy and protect this world from impending threats.As Arthfael's name became more and more famous, people started to recognize him. This made Arthfael feel a bit uneasy. Even now, suddenly the innkeeper greeted him, which was very
"Thank you very much for accompanying me today," Gerhard said shortly after they arrived back in front of his house, after visiting Rosalie's grave for the last time.Valentina nodded enthusiastically and flew closer to Gerhard, "You don't need to be sad anymore, Gerhard," Valentina said.Gerhard smiled, "Actually, there's still one thing that bothers me. But perhaps another time," Gerhard said.As if understanding what Gerhard meant, Valentina reached for his hand and opened his palm wide. Then, she sat on it and began writing something."There, it's done," Valentina said, showing it to Gerhard. "This is the code you can use to enter the fairy realm," she continued.Gerhard widened his eyes and looked at Arthfael, then back at Valentina. "W- what? Isn't the realm of the fairy folk supposed to be kept secret? Are you sure?" Gerhard asked.Valentina chuckled, "Consider it my secret to someone who is about to die- I- I mean, leave. So, I trust you with it," Valentina said with a smile.
The process of creating Soulfire was finally complete. Today, Arthfael was going to retrieve the legendary sword at Gerhard's house after receiving a message through their interconnected magic from Valentina."Let's go there now," Arthfael urged, quickly strapping his usual sword to his back.After that, Arthfael went back to Gerhard's house to collect his Soulfire sword, which was ready to be used, accompanied by Valentina and Flare.As Arthfael, Valentina, and Flare arrived at Gerhard's house, they were greeted with warmth and excitement. Gerhard welcomed them with a big smile, knowing that Arthfael was about to receive the powerful Soulfire sword. The atmosphere was filled with anticipation and celebration."Welcome, Arthfael, Valentina, and Flare," greeted Gerhard as soon as the three creatures entered his house.Arthfael nodded his head, looking around and wondering where Soulfire was, as he was eager to see the sword."I can't wait to see the sword; it must be so beautiful!" exc
The sound of an alarm resounded throughout the Kingdom of Verdantia, even reaching Gerhard's location."What alarm is that again?!" Valentina exclaimed in panic.Gerhard turned his gaze and looked around, then he realized something, "That's a gathering alarm warning. Let's head there immediately," Gerhard urged.With a sense of urgency, Arthfael, Gerhard, Valentina, Flare, Neptunis, and Ian hurriedly made their way towards the source of the alarm. As they ran through the streets, they saw citizens of Verdantia panicking, seeking shelter, and looking worried.Arriving at the central square of the kingdom, they found a large crowd already gathered. King Endeavor, along with his royal guards, was standing on a raised platform, addressing the citizens."People of Verdantia, we have just experienced a powerful earthquake, and I fear that it was caused by none other than Searox, the seafer of the abyss!" Endeavor's voice boomed, his concern evident in his eyes.A collective gasp filled the
"Place him over here," Nikita instructed Arthfael, who was carrying Gerhard's unconscious body alone.Arthfael carefully laid Gerhard's body on a soft, glowing bed made of leaves and flowers. The bed emitted a gentle warmth, as if embracing Gerhard with healing energy. Surrounding them were the lush and magical landscapes of the realm of the fairies, filled with vibrant colors and enchanting sounds.Valentina, Flare, and Neptunis gathered around, their eyes filled with concern for Gerhard. Nikita approached the unconscious Gerhard, her wings shimmering in the soft glow of the surroundings. She placed her hand on his forehead, closing her eyes in deep concentration."His condition is critical," Nikita said with a somber tone. "The curse he bore for centuries has weakened him greatly. We must act swiftly to try and save him."Arthfael looked at Nikita with a mix of hope and worry. "Can you do anything to help him?"Nikita nodded. "I will do my best. Our magic here is potent, and I can u
Gerhard's body floated above the pool, unconscious. Golden light and sparkles continued to swirl around him as the twin fairies, Kylie and Millie, reached out their hands to heal him. These two fairies were a pair of twins with the power of healing.It was no wonder that Cecil objected to Leia's decision to call them, as he saw them all as intruders not permitted in the fairy world.The atmosphere was solemn as Kylie and Millie channeled their healing powers into the much larger body of Gerhard. Arthfael watched Gerhard with a worried expression. Leia flew over to where Arthfael was, accompanied by Valentina, Flare, and Neptunis."Don't worry, he will wake up soon. But it won't take long since the curse has been lifted," Leia said.Arthfael turned his gaze to Leia, and his eyes appeared teary. Despite knowing Gerhard for less than two months, Arthfael already felt as if Gerhard were family.Without Gerhard guiding him, Arthfael might not be where he was now. He wouldn't possess Soulfi
Leia can feel the emotional reunion with a soft smile, knowing that the healing had not only restored Gerhard's physical body but also mended the emotional wounds between him and Nikita.Leia turned to the others, "Perhaps we should give Gerhard and Nikita some time alone," she suggested.Valentina nodded and approached Arthfael, "I agree."Gerhard smiled and thanked them for the time they had given him. Finally, everyone else left, leaving Gerhard and Nikita alone to have their conversation, knowing that their time together might be running out soon.As time passed, Gerhard's breathing, which had become steady, now began to slow down again. Tears flowed down his cheeks. Nikita embraced Gerhard's face with her whole body, trying to comfort him."Nikita, thank you for everything. Thank you for being my friend," Gerhard said with a shaky voice.Nikita nodded, her tears unable to contain the sorrow in her heart. Yet, her lips formed a smile, as
The departure of Gerhard with Nikita, which happened some time ago, had left a deep sense of loss among several individuals, especially Neptunis, who had been together with them for decades. Due to the loneliness he felt, Neptunis even hesitated to return to his original place as the waterfall guardian monster. Instead, he preferred to stay at Gerhard's house, where he found thousands of memories of Gerhard that remained in the house.Today, Arthfael decided to visit Neptunis again, unsure of how many times he had done so already. After all, Neptunis was still a monster that required supervision, especially now that his human contract partner was no longer there. Arthfael's task was to keep an eye on Neptunis to ensure he wouldn't disturb any other humans who might pass by Gerhard's house."Arthfael!" Camilla suddenly called out as she stood in front of the lodging they were staying in.Arthfael, Valentina, and Flare, who were just about to leave the place, turned their heads upon he
A week had passed since Alvin's initiation into the corporate rhythm of Graham Company. As he approached the office building on that particular morning, he noticed Marshall standing near the entrance. The two exchanged a friendly nod, and without hesitation, they walked side by side into the bustling lobby.The elevator doors opened just as they reached it, and Alvin and Marshall stepped inside. The hum of the elevator's ascent enveloped them in a brief moment of solitude. It was within this confined space that Marshall broached a topic beyond the realm of work."Hey, Alvin," Marshall began, leaning casually against the elevator wall, "how's Camilla doing these days? Last time we talked, she had just lost Richard."Alvin's expression softened at the mention of Camilla. "She's doing much better now," he replied. "She's formed a contract with Neptunis and even mastered the art of lightning magic. It's incredible how resilient she is."Marshall's eyes widened in genuine amazement. "That'
With the introduction to his new workplace, Alvin felt a mix of excitement and anticipation. Sophia led him to the 3rd floor, where his workstation awaited. Upon entering the spacious, well-lit office area, Alvin noticed the hum of productivity and the scent of freshly printed documents.Sophia directed Alvin to a desk where a woman was working diligently on her computer. Alvin's eyes widened in recognition — it was the same woman from the elevator earlier. Sophia approached the desk and tapped Felicia gently on the shoulder."Felicia, this is Alvin, our newest addition to the team. Alvin, meet Felicia, your colleague here. She'll be showing you the ropes," Sophia announced with a warm smile.Felicia turned around, her face lighting up with recognition. "Ah, we did meet earlier, didn't we? Good to officially welcome you, Alvin!" Felicia extended her hand, and Alvin shook it warmly.Sophia, pleased with the positive atmosphere, continued, "Felicia, please help Alvin settle in and guide
Alvin, with a head full of new memories and a heart carrying the weight of two worlds, stepped off the bus into the familiar hustle and bustle of the city. The urban landscape, with its towering buildings and constant hum of activity, seemed both alien and strangely welcoming after his fantastical adventures.He strolled down the busy sidewalk, a stark contrast to the forest trails and mythical creatures that once accompanied him on his journey as Arthfael. The echoes of his footsteps resonated with the rhythm of city life, and he couldn't help but feel a twinge of nostalgia for the simplicity of the human world."Missed this place," he muttered to himself, his breath forming a small cloud in the chilly air. Despite the bustling crowd around him, Alvin found himself longing for the solitude of the forest, where every rustle of leaves told a story and every creature held a secret.Approaching the Graham Company building, Alvin gazed up at its sleek exterior, adorned with reflective gla
A man with black shirt, still caught in the hazy transition from one reality to another, found himself in a small, cozy room. The remnants of dreams clung to his consciousness as he heard the persistent knocks on the door. The voice outside, insistent and slightly annoyed, belonged to someone who seemed to know him well."Alvin! Alvin! Wake up, it's already morning! I've cooked breakfast, and if the food gets cold, I'll hit you!"The words echoed in his ears, and Alvin groaned, trying to make sense of the unfamiliar surroundings. The name "Alvin" echoed in his mind, and he muttered to himself, asking aloud, "Who's Alvin?"Reality asserted itself, and with a jolt, Alvin's memory clicked into place. He wasn't Arthfael, the hero navigating a magical realm. He was Alvin, and this room was his own. He rubbed his eyes, willing himself to wake up from the lingering traces of the fantastical adventure.As he stirred, the room revealed familiar details—a worn-out poster on the wall, a collecti
The room, adorned with the regal elegance of the Kingdom of Dragomir, became a sanctuary for Arthfael, Valentina, and Flare. As they entered, Arthfael locked the door behind them, enveloping the space in a cocoon of privacy. The air within held a palpable weight, a prelude to the poignant moments that would unfold.Valentina, with her tiny form and delicate wings, sighed audibly. "This might be our last meeting, Arthfael. We may not see each other again."Flare, the Pyroblaze Phoenix, who had accompanied Arthfael through battles and triumphs, let out a cry tinged with sorrow. The fiery aura surrounding her seemed to flicker, revealing an underlying emotion.Arthfael, perceptive to their sentiments, inquired, "Flare, are you crying?"Flare, attempting to conceal her emotions, retorted, "No, it's just something in my eye."Arthfael, recognizing Flare's attempt to mask her true feelings, chuckled and pulled her into a tight embrace. Unlike her usual blazing form, Flare's body now held a
The night settled over the Kingdom of Dragomir, casting a gentle glow on the palace gardens. Arthfael, Camilla, Neptunis, Flare, and Valentina gathered under the twinkling stars, surrounded by the fragrant blossoms of the palace garden. The soft hum of crickets and the distant murmur of the celebration in the courtyard provided a serene backdrop.Seated on a stone bench, Camilla began reminiscing about the first encounter between her and Arthfael in the Esteria Kingdom castle during Prince Frederick's birthday celebration. The memory brought a nostalgic smile to her face."Ah, that was quite the eventful night," Camilla chuckled, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Who would have thought that a simple escape plan would lead to such extraordinary adventures?"Arthfael, leaning back against the bench, nodded with a grin. "It was a night of unexpected turns, and I'm grateful for every moment."Neptunis, the calm and observant one, added, "Fate has a way of weaving its threads in the most
The wedding celebration continued with an air of jubilation that permeated every corner of the grand hall. Arthfael, standing amidst the joyous crowd, felt a warmth in his heart as he witnessed the union of Zeke and Ian with their brides. The bonds of love, forged through trials and triumphs, now culminated in a celebration that seemed to transcend the boundaries of kingdoms.Camilla, with her innate grace, approached Zeke and Ian, a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. "Gentlemen, it is customary at this point to seal your vows with a kiss," she announced, her voice carrying across the hall.The guests, caught up in the enchantment of the moment, erupted into cheers and applause. Arthfael, smiling at the genuine happiness surrounding him, couldn't help but appreciate the beauty of this tradition. Zeke and Ian, their eyes locked with their brides, exchanged a glance that communicated a shared excitement.Zeke, turning to Molly, took her hands in his and pulled her close. The room fell int
The day of Zeke and Ian's wedding arrived, and the air in the groom's preparation room was charged with a mix of excitement and nervous energy. The room was adorned with elegant white suits hanging on racks, symbolizing the union of two souls about to embark on a journey of love and commitment.Zeke, a mix of anticipation and nervousness etched on his face, adjusted his tie in front of the mirror. Ian, standing nearby, mirrored his feelings, his hands betraying the subtle tremor of anticipation. Both grooms, resplendent in their white suits, exchanged glances that spoke volumes about the emotions swirling within them."How are you feeling, Ian?" Zeke inquired, turning to his partner.Ian, attempting a confident smile, replied, "My heart won't stop racing, Zeke. I've never been this nervous in my life."Zeke chuckled, his eyes softening with affection. "Well, they say it's a good sign. It means you're ready for this, and so am I."As the two grooms shared a moment of reassurance, the d
Arthfael, standing in the room that served as a temporary sanctuary within the Dragomir palace, took a moment to collect his thoughts. The events that had transpired — battles fought, alliances forged, and the sacrifices made — weighed heavy on his mind. He couldn't shake the memory of Freya's selfless sacrifice, a haunting reminder of the costs endured in the face of darkness.In an instinctive motion, Arthfael raised his hand, and a holographic screen materialized before him, displaying a series of information. His eyes focused on the screen as he rotated his hand, prompting a pop-up that revealed a number: 999.Arthfael's level, a reflection of his strength and capabilities, stood at the pinnacle. The enormity of his power, however, was juxtaposed with the feeling of inadequacy that lingered within him."Freya," Arthfael murmured, his voice tinged with regret. "I'm sorry. You sacrificed so much for me, and yet I couldn't protect you. I was too weak."At the bottom of the holographi
