Chapter 12: A new Journey

After Alistor performed the dance, he wakes up in his bedroom and saw daylight outside the window, he gets up and changed to his usual attire, a black blazer, necktie, black pants, and cotton gloves, he gets out of his room and went downstairs as he didn't remember what happened after the dance last night, he saw Nao looking at the newspapers while laying in the living room, he saw Micreal at the counter of the kitchen, when he finally came down, he asked.

"Micreal, what happened last night?" Alistor asked as he sits down on the chair of his dining table, and drinks coffee to energize him.

"Last night sir, you passed out, you were like a baby sleeping in a bed." Micreal said as he flips the pan and the pan sizzles, as the bacon pop in another pan, he continued "Nao, breakfast is here"

"Okay" Nao replied then she sits up straight and stands up and went to the table.

"You seem very calm after seeing my power," Alistor said to Nao as she sits down.

"I've always been surprised, there is a whole other level between me and you, that's why I train to become a great wizard like you" as she lifts up her hand and hits the air towards Alistor.

Alistor then remembered she was just like him when he was in her age, energetic, full of passion, wanted to be like his master, as the wind blows outside the field and the gentle clouds hovering above the skies, Alistor went outside and took a breather, inhaling the gentle wind, and watching the clouds hover up above them, he saw a wagon from a distance, as the wagon came closer and closer, it made a stop to his house and hands him a letter, he didn't know from where it was sent or who sent it, but it says: "Meet me at the Harbor in five days, and I will tell you how to get out of this world", He calmly thanked the messenger and the messenger headed their way, Alistor went back to the house and tells Micreal about the letter.

"Nao, we are going on a journey, this might be a bit dangerous but I hope you are up to the challenge," Alistor said as he touches the shoulder of Nao.

"I'll do my best!" Nao said as she clenched her fist with excitement.

Micreal packs their things and Alistor summoned a single shadow to relay a message to the Blackwood sisters.

"We are on a journey, and we won't be back for a while, but I will send you a souvenier if we found some interesting ruins or cities....that's what he said," Shire said as she reads the paper that was sent by a shadow.

"What?! He could've just told me personally...and I wanted to go with them too...." Aurora said as she sits on her desk.

"Oh there is a continuation.

'I would love to bring you with us but those paper works will keep piling up if you are not there, we will send you our best regards The Spirit Elementalists -Alistor'.

What? he already knew?" Shire said as she was a bit shocked that Alistor knew that they were the Spirit elementals from the start, she continued "Well, we don't have to hide it anymore..."

"If I wasn't the tavern chief I would have just went with them on their journey..: Aurora said as she pouts.

Shire giggle as she looks at Aurora, then she looks out the window and saw the clouds and the blue sky while her hands were crossed, she thought to herself "the shadow Elementalist huh...what an interesting man"

Alistor, Nao, and Micreal went to set off their journey as Alistors urge of curiosity didn't hold, he said "What wonders shall we discover in this far off land to the unknown"

"Sir, you know we're gonna get killed if you do that, curiosity killed the cat you know." Micreal said as he was carrying a bag.

"Well yes, but for me, the cat has nine lives, he didn't die, but he escaped with his other eight lives, so what's more, the cat even lived happily ever after the end," Alistor said as he shrugs.

"Whatever you say, Sir..." Micreal replied

"So where are we going?" Nao asked as she follows Alistor and Micreal.

"We are going to the Harbor, it says here in the letter..." Alistor replied to Nao, as he looks at a piece of envelope.

"Don't you think its a trap?" Nao wonders.

"Hmmm, it might be, but there is a good chance that it isn't, because....it already knows us," Alistor said as he looked at the piece of envelope. He continued "But if it is, I'll just to give them a taste of their own medicine, oh I forgot to tell you Nao.."

"Hmm?" Nao replied as she looks at Alistor.

"Can you change yourself to a little girl at will or?" Alistor said as he questions Nao.

"I can, but my personality changes, and when I'm deeply scared I can't control it." Nao replied to Alistor, then she saw Alistor writes it in his book, she continued "What's that?"

"Oh, it's just a record of my journeys and the people I met," Alistor replied to Nao as Nao caught a peek about her, it has all her personal info, her weight, height, and bust, Alistor then closes the book and it disappeared out of thin Air, Nao was a bit embarrassed as Alistor knew all of her personal information, but he didn't make fun of her or tell the information to other people, A few moments of walking they took a break, and they drank water from the watering cans Micreal readied up for them, Alistor sensed an Aura that was a very thick and warns Nao and Micreal.

"Something is coming, ready your weapons," Alistor said to Nao and Micreal, as they went and pick up a sword and A bow, and circled back to back of each other, then a mystical beast with a thick aura of purple appeared, and Alistor saw the mystical beast walking towards them, he continued "Is this from the leftover experiment?"

"No sir, it seems its a natural mystical beast to me, but enhanced, and how?" Micreal said as he looks at the mystical beast at a distance.

"Let's kill it and get this done," Alistor said as he slices him up with his shadows, but failed to penetrate, Alistor smiles a bit and said "This might be a little hard"

As the Mystical beast roared and charges at Nao, Alistor then stops him in place by using shadows from below, and Nao draws her bow and fires an arrow, the arrow then glowed purple as it was flying with quickened speed and the arrow pierced the mystical beasts heart and the thick aura disappeared from sight and the mystical beast died, due to the thick aura the mystical beast emitted, a normal arrow could not penetrate it, but Nao penetrated it and pierced it with a normal one, Alistor and Micreal were shocked, Nao was shocked too of what happened.

"It seems that you have found a weapon that suits your power," Alistor said as he praises Nao and Patts her head, Nao then smiles and giggled as she got her first skill, she thought to herself "Al was right, you don't find the skill, instead, it finds you."

The sun went down and They made a camp to rest for the night, with the help of Micreals' camping skills, he immediately made three tents for them to sleep on, as the firewood was cracking, the food was building and they ate under the night sky, with smiles on their faces, and telling made-up stories, the moon shined brightly and the wind was gently blowing the trees, as the first day of their adventure ended, and the second day of their adventure will start after they rest.
