X161: Arrived!! The Holy Lands of Elliona!!

"These are the Elliona, Holy Lands..?" Yuki asked. Mateo shook his head,

"No, I think this is just a checkpoint…" Mateo said. Yuki looked at Mateo confused.

"You think? You haven't been here..?" Yuki asked. Mateo shook his head once again,

"No, I have been here… I've been here twice before… Once when I got ranked up to an X-Guild general, and before the war…" Mateo said. Yuki nodded,

"Then how do you just think this is a checkpoint..?" Yuki asked. Mateo sighed,

"Because, there's a barrier that messes with your memories when you enter and leave." Mateo said. Yuki looked at the fog surprised noticing it was like a wall.

"Holy shit…" Yuki gasped in awe. A hole then opened up in the fog in front of the boat. The boat went forward entering through the fog. An island dock then came into view. The sun was shining on Yuki's face, blinding him. Yuki looked down at the water in surprise. "The water… It's…" Yuki looked back at Callie. She looked at the water in the same amount of awe. "It's blue…" Yuki said, looking back down at it. Mateo chuckled, "Sure is… Its the holy lands after all." Mateo said. There were little towns on the outskirts while there was a large main city in the middle with bridges connecting them. The yacht arrived at the port. Yuki grabbed his backpack and jumped off the boat. A young woman around Callie's age and a young man around Yuki's age stood there. "Welcome to the Holy Lands of Elliona, Callie Hazi, and Yuki Homura." The two said in unison. Yuki nodded, "Thank you for having us." Yuki said. The two bowed with smiles on their faces. They stood back up, looking at Yuki and Callie. The boy walked over to Callie, grabbing her hand. "Welcome, can I take a look at your bags?" The boy asked. Callie blushed looking up at the boy. The boy looked at Callie confused. "Hello..?" The boy asked. Callie looked surprised, "O-Oh! Y-Yes you can..!" Callie stuttered. Callie handed her bags to the boy. The boy smiled putting his finger on her bags. A blue aura then appeared around her bags making them vanish. "Woah…" Callie mumbled. The boy smiled, "Don't worry, they're in your room at the royale palace." The boy said. Callie smiled, "Oh- Thank you…" Callie said. The boy bowed, "My name is Jackson Terry… I will be your tour guide during this trip. Are you hungry?" Jackson asked. Callie nodded, "Y-Yes I am…" Callie said. He nodded, "What would you like to get?" Jackson asked. Yuki looked over at Callie. "Tonkotsu ramen with fishcake and Char siu pork…" Yuki mumbled under his breath. Callie thought about it for a second. "Could we get ramen..?" Callie said. Jackson nodded, "Of course, we've got some of the best ramen in the city." Jackson said. Callie grabbed Jacksons hand as they walked. Yuki sighed, as the girl walked up to him. "Could I take your bag, sir..?" The girl asked. Yuki looked at her, "Oh- Sure…" Yuki said. Yuki held his bag toward the girl and she put her finger on it. The same happened to his bag's as Callie's. Yuki sighed and stretched his arms. "Are you hungry?" The girl asked. Yuki shook his head. Yuki looked at the girl. "Do you guys have a gym..?" Yuki asked. The girl looked at him confused. "What kind of gym? Weights, Zai practice, or Shiki practice…?" The girl asked. Yuki thought about it for a second. "Is there a combination of a Zai and Shiki gym..?" Yuki asked. The girl nodded, "Uh yeah… Why do you need it..?" The girl asked. Yuki shrugged, "Need to relieve some stress…" Yuki said. The girl nodded, putting her hand on Yuki's shoulder. Yuki looked at her confused. "What're you!-" Yuki said. A blue aura started appearing around them. The two then vanished. Mateo sighed, "It's his first time in the holy lands and he's going to train..?" Mateo said. Sakino shrugged, "Well, I think it's smart based on what the king is going to do to him…" Sakino said. Mateo shrugged, "We better get going, we have a meeting with the 8 world saints…" Mateo said. Sakino nodded as they walked down the street. Two Elliona soldiers then appeared next to them as they walked. They approached what looked like a church. The door opened and The two walked in. The knights stood outside guarding the church. The church was dimly lit. Sakino and Mateo stood in the church on a circular platform. "We have called you two here to tell you something…" A deep voice said. Mateo and Sakino stood there with no emotion on their faces. 7 brown cloaked figures then walked out. "We apologize that the entity saint could not make it today…" One said. Sakino and Mateo kneeled. "You may stand…" The seven saints said in unison. The two stood looking down at the ground. "Yuki Homura is projected to fight our King in 48 hours…" One of the saints said. Mateo's eyes widened. "Have something to say, Kazimaru? If so, you may speak…" Another of the saints said. Mateo nodded, "forty-eight hours… We don't have enough time to evacuate…" Mateo said. It was silent. "We do not intend to evacuate…" Another saint answered. "The world has learned too much…" The saint said. "It is time for a second rebirth…"
