Conquest: Life in a VR

Acquainted.

It was day again, with Toda waking in the Henmer Manor house, he couldn't help but think on all the happenings of yesterday, being the new skills he had gained just from unlocking a sacred arm, he thought how important basic and common skills were, while thinking about it he remembers he hasn't still used any magic, he went to the skill option, he selected the magic section, he saw some skills but when he selects them, a message popped up, 'skill cannot be used at the moment, connection has not been established yet.' Toda didn't understand what it meant by connection wasn't established since he already obtained his spirits he should be ready to use magic, he decided he'd ask Gaius about it.

Gaius on the other hand came out of his room already dressed up, he asked the maids to prepare a fast breakfast saying they'll be heading somewhere; Toda was heading down from his room when he heard Gaius say they were going out, he walked up to him and asked where they were headed, Gaius smirked, "you see, a message came in from the heroes party, three out of the seven called for an extended meeting and training for just us the heroes, as you know if we should meet in 10days, it'll be to move out on training, and the so called training would be a death march between us and the monsters, for now we can say we can fight well with our individual skills and the weapons we mastered, but now we been given sacred arms, unlike your common sword and spear these weapons could level an entire ground should they be used wrongly, which is why we should train with them to master their respective individual skills and also how to harness them so we don't go killing ourselves when we're in a real battle, Xso we decided that we'd meet by noon."

Toda smiled saying he liked what he heard, he wasn't really ready for combat and his skills aren't fully honed, he then decided he'd ask Gaius about magic, "okay so, for some time now I've tried casting my magic but it's not working, i thought all that's needed for me to cast was gain spirits, but even after the spirits i can't cast." Gaius laughed, "Course you can't cast, you see think of it like this, you bought a sword and you intend using it to kill monsters, when you get attacked out of fear you took the sword without removing it from the sheath and strike the monster expecting it to slice through, do you think it'll cut." Toda smiled, "obviously no, it can't cut." Gaius then stood up, "you have to awaken the presence of those demigods in you, establish a connection, your spirits can be spoken with, you just have to listen." After the statement Gaius stood and asked Toda to prepare so they'd leave for the cathedral.

The two left for the cathedral, they arrived and all were around, they were the last to get there, Gaius walked to the prince to bow but the prince stopped him in the process saying Gaius shouldn't that they are all equals in the party, the fairy king started to speak, "hello, can i have your attention please, okay i am among one of the three who voted for this meeting to hold, i am the present fairy king of the fairy god's domain, i am king Karma Oakthistle, the third king of the zodiac royalty the latest royalty branch, you can call me either Karma or King, i wield the Spirit spear Gemini."

The prince stepped forward, "i am prince Richard Lourd Noverus, first prince of the empire of Khetis, i was gifted Bellona, the Divine axe of war, i also voted for the meeting." The lady close to the prince steps forward, "hello everyone, I'm Elayne Arthur Noverus, the first daughter of Arthur Comfauy Noverus, the ruler of the Dukedom of Relandra, and my sacred arm is Taurus, the golden staff of truth, let's all be friends." The Elf lady steps forward, "i am Zenosara, an elf nobility, a high-elf, gifted with the Tempest Bow." Zenosara kept her words limited, after her, an energised dragon folk shouted, "Call me Igon, I'm the heir to the ruler of the dragon kin, gifted with Hades and the strongest one here." Everyone laughed after hearing him, Gaius then spoke, "Finally the mood in here has lightened up, well, and I'm Gaius von Henmer, son of Julius von Henmer, Head prime minister of the empire of Khetis, gifted with the iron maiden." Finally every eye was on Toda, he was shaking up because all who were present were somewhat royalty, Gaius gives him a wink and he calms down, he looks back to them and speaks out, "i am Toda Hisaki, a traveller, and I have EROS of lust, The Oathbreaker."

After Toda spoke the prince walked up to him and offered his hand, Toda shook his hands, karma then asked them all if they have understood the basis of their weapon, they all said they haven't understood it, they later agreed on a fixed battle between themselves, the prince said he'll like to go first, he looked for a sparing mate, every one butted out and then Igon accepted to spare with him, they both went into the cathedral to have their battle, when they got in the others stood aside to watch, in the battle hall was a large circle seal, when activated puts up a barrier round the circle, the two got into the circle and the prince activates the seal, they both look to each other and worded out, "Call." Suddenly flying through was their sacred arms, they both word out, "sacred arms, activate." Igon looked to the prince and told him, "My prince prepare to bow."
