Back to the void...
"That Aydian guy was up to something no good," Mon'Ter pursed his lips, annoyed at the prospect of what might have happened at that time.
"You think?" Leonidas grumbled his way. "That kid didn't really manage to do anything after this, he didn't find any clues on the matter at all... Which is strange considering that usually, he's pretty capable. So really, not at all sure whether he looked or not to be honest with you."
Mon'Ter's eye of the gryphon shined in his left socket. "What's the chance he arranged for it himself?"
"What?" Leonidas widened his eyes. "You don't think he set up that traitor…?"
"I do, and that means... “ Mon’Ter paused. “It wasn't these orc folk you fought who tried to get to Ely," he shook his head, "her own brother, Aydian, tried to kill her," he looked at Leonidas, convinced of it. "The fact he clicked his tongue when she expressed her sense of happiness is proof enough of that.

And so the show would begin. The audience riled up for the two sword users, waiting for them to step up to the field and exchange blows like they had time and time again. Samuel had earned himself many'a fans during the course of this tournament, mostly girls, but also some boys? I don't know, there are those types in the world too. As for Sereia, well, it was safe to say she had too many admirers. For her performance, her beauty and her grace, it was easy to forget that the girl came from a family of mages rather than one of sword masters.The public cheered them on as they walked on in.Mon'Ter and Leonidas had already found themselves standing amongst the VIP area's nobility of that time, nearby to where Elyenora watched together with her family. The then Leonidas, her father, and Aydian too. No doubt the prince wanted to see how his opponent fought prior to their last duel that would be coming up tomorrow. The chimera made note of the fact that no one seemed cold h
Mon'Ter Chapter 163: Aftermath of their fight
None but a dozen steps further into the void, and the next memory began as suddenly as one might blink. Whether Mon’Ter and Leonidas should have been surprised or expectant of it, neither were sure, but they saw the scene build up to what it was mere hours after the previous memory of Samuel fighting against Sereia. They were in an infirmary sort of room, with many'a beds decorating it from corner to corner, each one had at least one person of nobility or common birth recuperating in them. It was full of people who'd lost past rounds in the tournament, and mainly; it was people with broken bones. No cuts or stabs were possible after all. But the impact was surely there, thus they all looked like someone had beaten them with a bat.And so, Mon'Ter and Leonidas walked towards the far end corner, where they could see a trio standing and eagerly discussing topics with the fallen knight of last round. Elyenora, her grandpa and her father, talked to Samuel about his recent de
Mon'Ter Chapter 164: Sereia VS Aydian, three years prior
On the eve of the next day, memory wise, Mon'Ter and Leonidas arrived amongst the VIP area for spectating once again. They were, of course, not alone. There were even more nobles today than there were in the prior memory of yesterday. And as for the spectator seats, well, they were so packed that you could even spot people standing upright here and there. "This is crazy!" Mon'Ter wowed as he gazed at all the people below him. "I thought that before there were a lot but... Now... I can feel that there's well over fifty thousand people watching!” He paused for a few moments. “Yeah! There's like fifty two thousand, seven hundred ninety three of them!" Mon’Ter proclaimed with absolute certainty, simply from taking a moment to size them all up. "How do you get that exact number?" Leonidas raised a brow his way, his crossed arms suddenly fell as his shock began to set in. "You just took a look at them... What?!" bewildered, Leonidas began making numerous random hand gestur
Mon'Ter Chapter 165: Sereia VS Aydian, three years prior, conclusion
Sereia wandered through the fog at a quick pace, she scowled as each step hit the ground. This level of thickness clouded her vision almost completely, and now, she could only rely on her other senses to evade the dangers.'Damn it... With the fire spirit and whatever else the bastard has, assassins and mages alike, this might be bad for me...' Sereia thought to herself, gritting her teeth whilst she attempted to leave the area of the fog. Her eyes still worked, in a sense, but not via vision. What she did in the slowed down time was plan, plan and listen with her ears, feel with her skin, smell with her nose and she even judged by how chapped her lips would become due to all the surrounding heat.Through this method, even whilst running in total blindness, Sereia was capable of evading each ball of fire, wave of heat and surge of flame that Aydian's spirit shot at her from the gods knew where. She found it increasingly annoying, as the damn thing could fly above her h
Mon'Ter Chapter 166: Sereia and Aydian's smaller fight
Mon'Ter and Leonidas stood in the midst of a void once more, their feet touching the shiny path of starry lights whilst the distance kept shimmering with bubbles of memories. The battle of the tournament had ended, and Mon'Ter had found out new things about his to be enemy."So, that's what he's capable of?" Mon'Ter mused with his hand reaching up to his chin. "Not particularly impressive, I'll be honest.""You think?" Leonidas chuckled. "That was three years ago, he's already in Lord Class, same with Sereia, and his little army of specters has undoubtedly grown both in number and in overall strength.""I know," Mon'Ter mumbled, "but I can't see him being nearly as strong as Finis was, we barely won against him in a six versus one.""Finis?" Leonidas mumbled out. "Whom might that be?""He was the corrupted son of the world spirit, also the reason Ely and Sam became like that. We more or less had to get one of our party members to use his forbidden
Mon'Ter Chapter 167: A Time of Leisure
In the sudden quiet environment, things had become a little awkward. No one really took the initiative to speak up, and so passed a good five or so seconds before...Chomp.Elyenora took a cookie."Wow, you three should try these! They're delish!" the girl spoke in a bubbly manner, causing Sereia to chuckle and take on for herself. She couldn’t be left out after seeing her happy expression, now could she? Nope, not a lover of sweets like her."Well, don't mind if I do," she took a cookie, chomped on it like the princess had, and found herself incapable of not putting her other hand on her cheek whilst exclaiming. "My! These truly are delicious!""Right?!" Elyenora said excitedly as she acted all giddy about it."Please tell me who made them! I need to get the recipe for my own abode back in Weylorn!" Sereia grinned at the princess happily."Of course! I'll ask the chef later, for now just enjoy yourself okay?" Elyenora pushed th
Mon'Ter Chapter 168: A Trip to Grevel City
The expanse of the void, closed in on our two fellows yet again. Mon'Ter and Leonidas just finished watching the previous memory, and said memory had made one of them rather conflicted."Say..." Mon'Ter spoke, realizing he hadn't referred to the man in any way quite yet. "Sir Leonidas?" he blurted whatever felt right out, and turned to the old man."Just call me Leonidas, or Leon even," the elder shrugged his shoulders, "don't bother me with honorifics at this point, you can do that once we're in a royal court or in a public setting. Here, it doesn’t matter.""Okay, Leon it is then," Mon'Ter continued. "Is Aydian really the big bad in all of this?" he pushed his gaze down. "Honestly he didn’t look evil at all… Seeing that memory just now, while he was a pile of grumbling and annoyance, he seemed to be on good terms with everyone…"Leonidas sighed at that remark. "Aye... That he was..." he then continued with an upright attitude.
Mon'Ter Chapter 169: Korgen, the Dwarven Blacksmith
Not long after arriving back to the void of memories, Mon'Ter and Leonidas did another short walk till they entered the next memory. Really, it was rather close. Even closer than the ones that took place hours or even minutes after the previous ones. Perhaps, it was a memory that happened at the same time as Samuel's entrance to the academy.Perhaps, that idea wasn't too far off.The scenery manifested itself anew, though; it wasn't at the academy like the duo had expected it to be, no, they were back in the city of Banul. Far from Grevil city and its school of magics. Now, before them stood a very specific hallway within the royal castle of the capital, one that went along the farther reaches of the keep, and Leonidas instantly recognized it."Oh my, we're back at the capital this soon? But why are we at the royal blacksmithy's hallway..." he mumbled to himself, half musing half narrowing his eyes."Royal blacksmithy?" Mon'Ter quizzed, wondering what the
