CHAPTER 4- SERAPHIM HESTIA CELESTIA

"How have you been?" said sera

"It's been tough but I guess it all work out okay."

I replied

currently we are inside her carriage going to the beastmen capital it's only a few more days before we reach the capital.

"By the way why are here on this continent?" I ask

"Ah! I was actually going to meet up with a acquaintance of father that has decided to teach me more about magic and how to wield a weapon for the up coming tournament for the chance to win the DRAGONS BLESSINGS."

I was surprised that her father actually going let her participate in the upcoming tournament. If I remember correctly he is the kind of father that will kill any man that tries to bewitched his daughter into falling In love with them to gain benefits from the crown. To bad for them that her father is the overly protective guy that will scare them shitless if they so come 1 meter close to her. I even remember my brother almost lost his life just by talking with us at a party.

"I see so that's why you're here. But why do you only have three guards with you?" I asked knowing her father it is almost a 100% possiblity that he would put half of his army just to protect his children from harm especially the youngest of them (sera).

" Well no one knows that I'm supposed to join the tournament except from my family and our most loyal retainers. Father was hell bent on sending one third of the army to accompany me to where my future master would be but I convinced him together with my older brother and sister that sending one third of the army would cause only unnecessary attention and it might even be considered as an act to start a war."

"HAHAHA! It's sound just like uncle. It's a good thing you manage to convince him not to send your army." I said

achoo!..."I think somebody talking about me."

"Luna... I..."

"It's fine you don't need to say anything. we all know that the dragons forbid every race to go to war that isn't their own race right?" I said as I reminded her of the dragons curse thousands of year ago.

"but still it wasn't fair that I couldn't help you." she said with a saddened tone.

I honestly thought the same to when they were at war with the other human Kingdom when we were just 8y/o I still remember myself crying everytime I couldn't go there to help them win the war. father said that if I go there and helped them I could activate the dragons curse and that could lead to my own entire race demised.

"It's all in the past now sera. The things that happened in the past stays in past so that we could learn and do better than our past selves. " I said as I reach to pat her head to calm down so she wouldn't cry anymore.

"hmm." she nodded

"so what's your masters name? Since it's your father's acquaintance I'm sure that he or she would be exceptional master right." I asked slightly curious about her master

"rightttt... the thing is that I don't know her name. Father only said that he met her during the tournament for the dragons blessings. That's all I know about her." she said while I could understand that her father met many people during the tournament it's still flabbergasted me that he didn't have sera her new master name. Knowing how much he dotes on his children there must be something that his trying to hide from his children. But that not my problem... for now.

the sun is starting to set on the horizon so that we have to camp outside for now. The guards have started to set up camp for the night I even started to set my own camp but sera have offered to let me sleep together with her. Naturally I'd say no but it's been a while since the last time we spend time together so I said yes.

the night was long while we stayed late just talking and telling each other our journey to where we are we also talked about our days when we were just a younger days when we didn't need to do thing complicated when thing we're simple when thing was just days having fun and playing around.

We are going to miss those days but life is life we need to go and give life our best middle finger there is and move on to a path that will give us challenge and will fuck us up more than once but will always give us lesson that we our going to use on our future endeavors to keep going. Life may give us a hard time but it will be all worth it when we are at top looking at every challenge, life lessons, and times when we are about to give up but still remain standing while putting our best smile to keep moving forward.
