Great plains of Celestra, 8 o clock in the morning; The train to the capital city whistled and chaffed on the railway built along the massive plains of low grass, wide horses and rabbits scattered around at the sight and sound of the massive train. Verner and his crew had crossed a sea on a long four day trip to get to the main land of the kingdom of Celestra and were on there way to the royal square in the capital city, just as Daegan had instructed. Astrid and Erik rested their heads on Tywin's sides as the trio read a book that he held together, Verner and Cedar were sitting just ahead of them, the train was full of other passengers who were going to the capital as well. Verner sat by the window and gazed at the green plains and wildlife while Cedar was sheathing and unsheathing Verner's thunder spear sword repeatedly, he was just toying with the weapon "You said Rodric gave this to you right?", Verner turned to him and saw Cedar shaking the chain at the end of the handle, "y
Sun Palace, Celestra's Royal residence; Princess Skylar laid in her bath tub filled with water leaving only her head above the surface, her golden blonde hair all collected at her back as they were soaked with water as well, she gazed at the ceiling of her massive and elegant bathroom which was almost all white with golden tubing and ornaments in different parts of it, she seemed to be thinking deeply about something, but her concentration was broken once she saw her pet bunny on top of the toilet seat "Daisy, what are you doing here?", the rabbit jumped over to the edge of the bath tub, it was all white and very fluffy with two long dropping ears. Skylar picked it up in her arms and giggled as she caressed it's thick white fur, "its about time I gave you a bath as well." She stood up from the bath tub with her bunny still in her arms, she had a golden sun tattoo on her left shoulder, which was more like a birthmark as she was born with it. The golden sun mark was the sign that s
Skylar looked at Daegan and her father repeatedly, it was obvious that something wasn't right as the atmosphere was very tense, all the guards looked very scared as well, Daegan was the only one who appeared calm "Is something wrong?" she asked, noticing her father's annoyed expression, Daegan chuckled then replied, "no my dear, your father was just a bit worried about your safety, but I assured him that you're going to be in good hands, so he has nothing to be afraid of, isn't that right your majesty?" he turned to Bakarel with a sarcastic smile on his face, Bakarel was just fuming and cursing under his breath but didn't say anything, it was very clear that he was angry about something which made Skylar nervous. Daegan stood up from his seat and walked towards her "Skylar, your father and I had a discussion about your future and duty to humanity as our current bearer of light, I hope these terms aren't unfamiliar to you?" "No...no sir...I've heard about it already...I read many boo
Starfall City, Three provinces away from the Capital, 10:30 at night; Councilor Pico Luiz stepped out of his lavishly decorated horse carriage and was greeted my a massive cheerful crowd and flashing cameras, Pico Luiz was a member of King Bakarel's high table making him one of the most important people in the world, and this night he had come to attend a party with some of the richest business men and women in Celestra and the kingdoms beyond. He walked down the red carpet dressed in a long suit jacket, his head was bald and his beards white, his stomach was protruding like every rich elderly man and he was accompanied by two very beautiful ladies who appeared to be in their early twenties, he liked his women young and fresh after all. The party had so many aristocrats all dressed in fancy suits and ball gowns, a group of musicians played their violin to warm up the atmosphere, everyone either danced or chatted with one another, waiters and servers walked around passing food and wi
Hector's POV: "Eighteen years, it's been eighteen long years since I left that hell of a place for good, how time flies, I could hardly notice it though, been too busy doing my thing, living my life. I never thought any of them would find me, I guess I've been taking too many jobs lately, I guess..."Guardian society Intern base, 18 years ago: I still remember the good old days, I and Rodric used to sit on the swing in our camp and talk a lot, talk about everything and anything. We were just 21, but we were already some of the most powerful members of the Guardian society, many of our colleagues and seniors predicted that we might even become sentinels before we hit thirty, and they weren't wrong after all, well I mean they weren't supposed to be... Rodric has changed a lot, he used to be so tall and skinny back then, it really didn't affect his strength though, I'm just glad he's put on some weight, his long purple hair today was short and ruffled back then, I always took good car
The streets of Starfall City were still very busy even as midnight drew nearer, horse driven carriages and pedestrians roamed the beautiful well lit roads, pubs and guests houses were all still running as they were night time businesses. This city was one of the biggest in Celestra after all and big cities were well known for their stunning nightlife scenery, but they got something very special this time around A huge lightning bolt travelled through the streets of the city extremely quickly, and it was followed by a wave of wind that destroyed almost every thing around it, this was all the civilians of the city saw, but it was just two men fighting so quickly that nobody could see them move at all. Rodric and Hector slashed their swords at each other ferociously as they raced through the streets at tremendous speeds, Rodric used one of his thunder flash techniques while Hector used a tsunami hex art to propel himself "Is that all you got?, RODRIC!!!""DAMN YOU!!!" Rodric increased
Starfall City, the next morning: Hector laid with Belzara on his king sized bed in his fancy mansion bedroom, the sun had already risen but the room was still quite dark as tall decorated curtains covered all the windows. He gazed at the ceiling, very deep in his thoughts, and stroked Belzara's hair as she rested her head on his chest, clutching him with her arms as well and both of them were covered with a duvet, she was still asleep while Hector was wide awake. Hector couldn't stop thinking about his encounter with Rodric last night, this was the first time since his 'awakening' that he actually started to feel like he probably shouldn't have left the guardian society, Rodric has gotten much stronger than him now, most likely due to the fact that he had been hunting powerful devils the whole time and adapting to the conditions while Hector himself was just going around killing regular humans for huge bounties, he had built a fortune from his new profession though but he didn't fee
Celestra's Royal island resort; Tywin, Erik and Astrid sat at a table covered in so many different kinds of exotic cuisines and sea food, they all wore light shirts and shorts and were amazed by what this place had to offer, a bunch of other guests also sat at the other tables in the resort restaurant, every one seemed to be having fun, three empty seats were by their table as Verner, Skylar and Cedar were absent "This place is WILD!!!" Erik commended as he munched on a grilled lobster tail, Tywin just calmly ate his meal while Astrid was playing with hers, she used a fork to shoot an oyster into Tywin's face, making him to spill a spoonful over his shirt, she and Erik laughed and almost choked, and Tywin didn't find that really funny at all He looked at both of them with disgust, playing around like children while he was just trying to enjoy a decent meal, he was starting to believe Verner was the only other sane person in this squad of theirs, he hated Verner earlier but these t
