Chronicle of the Returned King Great Azure Crow
CAW! CAW! CAW!Although the baby crow just hatched a while ago, he was so energetic, relentlessly pursuing the figure of mother he saw in Stella. Alex laughed uncontrollably to see Stella who ran about like a headless chicken, trying to evade the affection that the crow chick wanted to give.“Hey, why are you running away? I thought you and Mephisto were on good terms before?” asked Alex in the middle of his laughter.“Bahahaha! You should see your face now! Gosh, I wish I had a mirror now to show you!”“Hero, stop your childish act and do something about this creature!” scolded Stella sternly, while not stopping her pace at all.“I gave him some of our supplies, because I thought he would be starving. You know, just a moment ago he was born, right? But it wasn’t enough for him, he keeps asking for more!” claimed Stella while still keeping her distance away from the crow. “At this rate, we would be out of foods before we leave this place. Do you have any idea how far away are we from
Chronicle of the Returned King Return
The Elf King sat pompously on his grandiose throne as one of his trusty guards whispered something in his ears.“Your Majesty, there’s someone who wants to see you.”At first, the king didn’t want to meet whomever his guard meant, but it seemed like this person has something important to say, or show. With a long and heavy sigh, the Elf King then ordered his guards to open the doors and let the man in.As the doors swung to their side, he saw Alex step into the room with confidence and brought something that seemed familiar in his right hand. Behind him is Stella, the banished female elf. The light from chandeliers above the room reflected on the silver bow the young man brought in. Alex kneeled as he put the Elvenian silver bow down in front of the Elf King’s throne.“What brings you here, thief?!” the old king spoke in a disinterested manner as he lifted his leg to the throne. He stared at Alex with a scorned look in his eyes at first, but now he glanced at Stella in the same way. “
Chronicle of the Returned King Mission Accomplished
Alex and his group walked further from the Elf Kingdom’s grand and majestic gate. They were not planning to return home, but for another quest. Realizing that the situation was safe now, Alex signed the others to gather around behind a bush and discussed what to do after this. They formed a circle and the conversation started as Alex laid out the map.“We have the Randaelwiz flower now,” he said in an optimistic tone, showing the pocket to his non-human friends. “now we’re heading to that valley where the dwarf ring was dropped. Germio, do you remember where is it?”The dwarf looked more enthusiastic than ever, he responded quickly and pointed at a valley on the map, “yes, yes! It was on this valley, just outside the Dwarf Village”“Great! It takes less than one day to get there,” Alex estimated their next journey. “We should arrive there before night.”Stella chuckled after hearing Alex’s answer. “We? Are we all going there?”The human raised his eyebrow and looked at the elf, “yes,
Chronicle of the Returned King Sinister Ring
“Are we there yet?” complained Stella as her frail legs kept climbing the valley up. “Sigh, my feet hurt.”After succesfully seized the ring that Gremio dropped long time ago, the group started to make their way up. But it seemed the hunt really took its toll on them.“All those footwork must leave you exhausted, m’lady!” concluded Salieri. “Let me check your thighs, it must be swollen by now!”Without even waiting for Stella’s approval, Salieri sneakily creeped closer to Stella, giving no chance for the elf to react.“EWWW! GROSS! GET AWAY!” shrieked Stella when Salieri touched her appetizing white legs. The bard ignored Stella’s scream, but a thwack from Stella’s bow was enough to send him a warning.“Ouchie, I just want to help, that’s all,” gruntled Salieri while rubbing his head.“Nobody asked!” cut Stella short. “That counted as sexual harassment, you know!”Rasheed shook his head to see their antics. He saw that scene numerous times but still he just couldn’t get accustomed to
Chronicle of the Returned King Back to Dwarf's Village
The group found themselves in a pinch as their powerhouse was influenced by the ring’s negative effect. Alex, as always, decided that a boost would prove useful at nearly every situation, and this incident was no exception.“Sal, play him some of your relaxing tune!” ordered Alex decisively.“Perdon, Senor. As much as I would love to, but my beloved ukulele fell victim to Stella’s lovely stomps,” apologized Salieri, quickly met with another stomp of Stella, causing him to writhe in pain, and pleasure as well, judging from his creepy expression.“Well, excuse me for teaching you a lesson you won’t forget!” stated Stella. “I shall make it up by snatching the ring in that midget’s pouch! Hero and Giant, cover me!”After the elf finished her words, she dashed to join in the fray. Gremio who went berserk took her presence as another nuisance.“So, even you has been swallowed by greed as well, huh?” yelled Gremio as he swung his heavy axe. “You

“Ugh, as usual that chief of mine really took his sweet time!” grumbled Gremio who grew impatient of hiding his dwarf self under the cloak Stella lent him. “This robe reeked of elf’s stench, I couldn’t bear it!”At first, Gremio rejected the idea of borrowing Stella’s robe for his disguise. Stella also disagreed hardly, but upon being promised that it wouldn’t take long by Alex, both party accepted the temporary decision.“Senor, you should be grateful!” advised Salieri jealously. “I would kill to get my hands on that cloak!”“I figure, your obsession to that cheeky elf knows no bound,” remarked Gremio. “Look, since we’re being watched, I would refrain from any debate with you, no matter how much I want to rebuke you!”“Why should I hide myself after all? Al, you owe me an explanation!” continued Gremio.“Grem, this is an event worth of celebration, and you’re the main star of the show!” reasoned Alex. “And the star deserves a flashy entr
Chronicle of the Returned King The Ring
As Alex started to doubt the credibility of the ring, Lucius approached him.“Sir Hero, is that what I think it is?” asked Lucius, confirming the ring Alex pulled out of his pouch.“Well, you tell me! What do you think it is?” replied Alex nervously. He sweated bullets to find out the villagers were not as enthusiastic as he expected.“Our village’s sacred treasure, the ring that Earth Goddess bestowed upon us,” answered Opa.“Ding dong! 100 points for Gryffindor!” shouted Alex in response to Opa’s answer. “Uh, I mean 100 points for Opa!”The dwarves started to make some noise, still couldn’t believe the long-lost ring had now returned to the place it was supposed to be.“Erde Ring, Erde Ring is here!” yelled Lucius. “My brethrens, rejoice! The day we have been praying for is finally here!”Realizing it was no longer a dream, the crowds cheered in unison. The joy was painted well in their expression. The youths were danc
Chronicle of the Returned King Agreement
“What do you say, Opa?” Alex could not wait any longer to hear the respond from the Dwarf Chief. He hoped that his plan to build a big mana tower would come true. However, the unusual yet uncomfortable silent drew out from the dwarves even though they were in the middle of a feast.After a deep breath, the village chief finally spoke up, “Listen fellas, we would be happy to grant your wish. But, we have been mining for years and we rarely found any mana stones as we keep digging at our mines.” Lucius stared at the Hero while frowning his eyebrows. “There is no way we can help you with that request. Sorry for that. However, we have lots kind of minerals that you might find it valuable. Besides some ores, silvers, golds, we also have the radiant gemstones. Unless you wanna change your minds, eh?”Saliery was enjoying his festive meal. But when he heard about the gemstones, he could not help it but to feel excited. He rushed closer to Alex and begged him, “Senor! Gemstones sounds so inte

New Objection
As the group anxiously waiting by the side of the poisonous river, Mephisto’s conditions turns to worse. Helene and Merith are doing their hardest to treat Mephisto but to no avail. The bedridden bird can only hacks and coughs despite their best effort, signaling that the treatment from Helene and Marion didn’t work as expected.“Kween...” Chirp Mephisto weakly.“Meppy! Meppy! Stay with me, okay? Don’t leave me yet.” Stella cries as she hugs Mephisto.As they argued, a giant shadow suddenly emerged out of river with a splash and lands in their vicinity. It was Marion that jumped out of water. On his side, he is holding a creature with a weird body shape, resembling an eel with whiskers and a bloated stomach.“Here is the Lele fish!” Marion shows everybody his catch. The fish can only helplessly squirms on Marion’s grasp.“That’s... You sure ‘that’ is a fish?” Question Salieri.“That no animal. That monster.” Rasheed readies his w

The Cure for Mephisto
“You’re not doing much of a help, Helene! You know what? You’re a useless saintess!”Stella’s angered words were still spinning inside the saintess thoughts. Her pride was hurt seeing that she couldn’t heal Mephisto and Stella was disappointed in her. Despite the harsh truth, Helene decided to try again after several unsuccessful attempts.“Helene, don’t go too hard on yourself,” Pandora reminded her.“I don’t,” replied the saintess quickly, her hands still busy pressing Mephisto’s weakening body with all of her might. “I just have to … heal Mephisto and prove that I’m a worthy member of this time.”“We are all valuable and worthy, no one is superior to others,” responded Alex, “take it slow, Helene. Don’t rush.”Seeing Helene’s work in vain, Pandora decided to leave the scene and inspect the waterfall. As she peered from above, her eyes caught something long and dark wiggling underneath. The witch sharpened her sight and noticed that it

New Path
Every hero party member was now relieved after being trapped inside the maze-like, magic forest. As Alex looked up at the darkened sky and the sun was already on the western horizon, he realized they'd spent hours figuring out the escape."Gosh, how long have we been there?" he said with surprise.“Ah, finalmente!” Salieri exclaimed, plopping himself to the grassy ground and stretching his feet. “My legs are sore from walking for days and I can feel my feet blistering.”“Just man up and don’t exaggerate, you limp man” Germio replied, as always being grumpy. “We’ve been there only for a few hours.”As the rest of the group rested and gained some energy, Stella looked around and examined the new surrounding. All the elf girl saw was just an expanse of green meadow, but her keen hearing sensed something more. She quickly took a turn to the opposite side of the sun, following the stone path. It was slightly slippery from the moss that grew on almost e

Lost in the Forest
They have been walking for around an hour now and yet they could not find any sign of exit. The party began to feel tired.“Sir Alex. Everyone is tired. Should we take a break?” Helene looked worried. She could feel Pandoran and the merfolks began to catch their breath.“Just a little more. Resting in the forest and got lost might be a bad idea. We need to find the exit soon.” Alex demanded the team to keep walking more because as far as he could remember, there was a forest that could trap them for days. Alex’s memory was quiet blurry at that time but one thing for sure that when he decided to take a rest in a certain forest, on the next day they were trapped for more than one day.The others nodded in agreement because they believed in Alex’s decision. So, they tried their best to continue walking while following the hero.More minutes have passed and they were still wandering around the foggy forest. Not only Pandora and the merfolks, the other coul

Tiryag Continent
Alex and his party continued their journey to explore Tiryag continent after they had enough rest. They came deeper into the forest until they reached the area where fog started to appear. The fog was not so thick and they could see the road in sight. They might arrived in a new area and new enemies might appear anytime soon.“Hmm, this forest give me a chill.”Pandora commented. It seemed like she could sense something.“What is it, Pan? Do you sense any enemy?” Alex asked. He was leading the team by walking in front line.“I’m not sure. I just feel like something is bothering me.” Pandora still could not clearly stated what she felt once she came into this foggy forest. She tried to find out herself.As they kept on walking further, they could hear a sound like a giggle.“Hey, elf girl. What are you giggling about?” Germio looked at Stella suspecting her for being the one who giggled. The sound was indeed like a little girl and it fit he

First Obstacle
It took almost a day until Alex and his party arrived in Tiryag continent. The ship was anchored near a beach that looked gloomy with eerie atmosphere. There was no sign of lives as far as they tried to search around it. However, they could feel uneasiness when they tried to see the forest right in front of them. Soon after that, they decided to explore the continent by going forward to that forest hoping that they could find some clues about how to locate the Demon King.The large group were walking peacefully without encountering something dangerous at that moment. But soon, they might find themselves surrounded with uncertain dangers and challenges ahead.“Rasheed, are you alright?” Alex asked after reading the expression of that big fella that turned discouraged. Despite of Rasheed’s big body, that expression did not really suit him. Moreover, Alex could remember something about his past life when he stepped into Tiryag along with his hero party. He believed th

Two Merfolks
“Avast ye, ye filthy camper! ‘Twas so cowardly of you to launch a sneak attack like that!” cursed Jillaab. He aimed his remark at the ocean, suspecting that the assault just now came from down there.That statement resulted in a twin pillars of water forming from the seemingly calm waves. And from within those pillars, two blue shadows appeared and landed on board.“Shiver me timbers! ‘Tis the Wow Warriors!” exclaimed Balastar, finding it hard to see two humanoid fishes walking towards him with two legs. “I thought it was just a myth!”“Wow Warriors?” asked Pandora. It was clearly merfolks that they saw in front of them. “Is that how you guys call merfolks?”“Young lass, we have no idea what this merfolk yer’ talking about, but the Wow Warriors we’re referring to is a stuff of legend, used to be told as a nighttime scary stories!” replied Jillaab, equally in awe with his comrade.“Aye, that be true, matey! Many a sailor have told tales of their terrifying encounters with the Wow Warri

New Arrival
It had been less than an hour since the ship departed the port, but the debate had been going nonstop. The main topic was caused by Alex’s rash decision to recruit the two pirates who appeared out of nowhere.“Al, have you lost your mind?” protested Pandora. “We don’t know about these two dirty guys and you just casually invited them aboard? On top of that, you entrusted them with the wheel!”“Not to mention that sinister-looking parrot, Alex!” Stella took on Pandora’s side. “This ship is too small for two birds. Mephy should be the only one on board!”Alex, on the other hand, didn’t directly entertain their banter. Instead, he just stood there, allowing each of his crews to vent their dissatisfaction. Meanwhile Jillaab and Balastar were having a god round of the ship, amazed by the beauty they laid their eyes upon."Ahoy there! Ye lot be blessed enough to sail the virgin ocean on this beauty, yet ye still find time to argue? Ye should be grateful for this adventure and enjoy the jour

Figure of Speech
“What’s wrong, Alex?” asked the King. “Where did all of your previous enthusiasm go?”“Your Majesty, I would love to do as just what you told me. But steering the ship is something out of my realm of capabilities.” Alex chose his words carefully not to displease the King. “I’ve been looking around for a while, but never did once I saw someone tending the ship.”Frown appeared in King Romeus’ forehead. “Didn’t you subdue the pirates before here in this very place? I thought you were no stranger to command a ship?”“Yeah, but that time a good person came to my aid,” argued Alex, his eyes were scanning the surrounding and by a pure stroke of luck, he locked his view on his aforementioned lifesaver. “Speak of the devil, that was the man!”Hamith, being pointed out by Alex, smiled and waved at his old companion, approaching him lightly. “Sir Hero, I have heard that there would be a grand farewell of the heroes here on the port, so I made my way here. And boy am I honored to know that you s
