Chapter 19 Vol.1

Chapter 19:Departure

I began packing my stuff ever since 4 days ago. I felt nostalgic when packing up my items. I remembered that I came here with nothing and now I will be leaving with so many items with me. I looked at my finger, it was a black ring made by a chunk of the wall. I infused all of my memories and emotions into it and it resulted in a single dot on the ring. It's a very handy journal, I thought. And they also gave me an extra ring. When I asked who it was for they just told me it's a blessing for someone I would come to cherish in the future. Both of us bid farewell in front of the palace.

"Remember Edge, when you leave Yamato, Pick up a flower at the borders and keep it with you at all times."[Mio]

"Do it for me too ok."[Fubuki]

"Sure but why?"[Edge]

"It's so that you could always find your way home, here in Yamato" [Mio]

"Whenever you're lost you could think of us and if you want to come home you just have to show it to someone and they can guide you home."[Mio]

"Thanks for your blessings I will pick one for both of you for sure"[Edge]

"You too Calli, Stay off the booze in front of the child" [Mio]

"Thank you for your concerns Mio but He Isn't really a child anymore. After all, he's at the age of marriage. HAHAHA, That means he should be able to drink *Guh* now too right?"[Calli]

"Don't push it Calli, He's still a child okay let's plan it step by step." [Mio]

Marriage? So that's what the other ring is for? I'm confused, I'm just fifteen but finally, I can taste what Calli's been drinking? Hell yeah, I'm down for that!

"Alright, we should get going now, remember to take your sword."[Calli]

"I know, just give me a second."[Edge]

I stretched my hand towards the mountain where Calli threw the sword at.I could feel the sword body ledged into the mountain.I put in a little bit more force and it rattled on its own trying to free itself after being stuck for 2 years.

*Boom*

The sword flew out of the mountain and headed towards me at a high velocity. I immediately used metal Ki to harden my skin and increase the density of my muscles to catch the sword by its handle without hurting myself. Afterward, I just catch it and slides it into my sheath.

"You really did it."[Fubuki]

"Thanks to all of you"[Edge]

"Take this with you, It's a communication tablet. We can communicate with each other as usual using this." [Fubuki]

I was given a small black rectangular tablet-sized stone in the palm of my hand. I believe it was the same thing I saw Miko holding when she was traveling with us.

"Thanks, friend, see ya. Goodbye Mio Sha and A-chan too."[Edge]

'Bye Edge' [Mio,Fubuki.A-chan]

I followed Calli and walked to where the cliff we climbed up from. Calli is looking down from the cliff

"From here?"[Edge]

"Why? Can't keep up?" [Calli]

Calli smiled and jumped down from the cliff while facing me. I was dumbfounded by Calli's actions, I decided to descend the mountain safely by scraping off the ice to reduce my velocity when falling down the mountain. I took one last look at them, they were still standing there looking at me. With one last wave at them, I followed after Calli.

Calli leaned on the mountain when I descended.

"What took you so long" [Calli]

"I took the safe route." [Edge]

"Pussy, so now, where do you want to go?" [Calli]

"Exodus, I want to see it for myself." [Edge]

"Lucky for you, we just got ourselves a job on the way."[Calli]

"Huh? Does it happen frequently?"[Edge]

"Not much. But it needs to be resolved quickly before the war comes."[Calli]

"What war?"[Edge]

"The place we are going is the Forest of the Dead and its neighbor the Candy Kingdom has declared war on them. That's where we're going."[Calli]

"That's a lot to absorb in right now. So who's our target?" [Edge]

"Princess of the Candy Kingdom Himemori Luna that was currently abducted by the princess of the forest."[Calli]

"I see, shall we get going then."[Edge]

We walked towards the carriage that was already prepared for us and left the Frozen vault.

Meanwhile, after they left, Mio found a surprise hiding in her room. On the table, it sits a yellow bowl that she was sure was broken and kept in her box. She checked the bowl and there was no sign of a crack anywhere. The problem is that she is sure that this is the very same bowl that was shattered by her.

"How could this be?"[Mio]

Suddenly in front of her stands a blond girl with western clothing.

"There, just as promised " [Blonde woman]

*WYRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!*

The woman disappeared from the premises after making an ear-piercing sound with a portal opening behind her and swallowing her up.

However, what really shocked Mio was what she was wearing on her ring finger.
