As Em, Nova, and Ignis waited on the mountain,
Nova, ever vigilant, sensed the approaching presence of two individuals dressed identically, undoubtedly representatives from the Divine Sword Family.
Nova: "Ignis, change your size and conceal your energy. We don't want to draw unnecessary attention. Be discreet."
Ignis nodded, his fiery form shifting and dwindling until he became a smaller, inconspicuous figure. He then wrapped himself in an invisible cloak, making his presence nearly undetectable to anyone not actively searching for him.
Ignis: "Yes, Master."
The two representatives from the Divine Sword Family arrived, their expressions stern and purposeful.
Representative 1: "Ms. Emily, we're here on behalf of Mr. Long-rose. He sent us to bring you back to our main base."
Em: "Thank you for coming. We're ready to go."
The representatives nodded, seemingly unperturbed by Ignis' concealed presence. Together, the group descended from the mountain, making their way to the Divine Sword Family's main base.
Em's father looked at his daughter with a mix of relief and concern, taking in the gravity of her words. He gestured for everyone to enter the Divine Sword Family main base as Em began recounting the harrowing events that led them to this point.
Em's Father: "Baby, I can't believe what I'm hearing. El-kiin, destroyed? How did this happen?"
Em proceeded to explain the relentless assault of Lord Michael, the destruction of their planet, and the tragic fate that befell its inhabitants. Her father listened with a heavy heart, his expression shifting between shock, sorrow, and anger.
Em's Father: "This is a catastrophe. We must take swift action. But first, let's get you settled. You and your companions must be exhausted."
As they walked deeper into the Divine Sword Family main base, Nova's keen observation didn't go unnoticed.
Nova: "I couldn't help but notice the disciples flying towards the mountain. What's happening?"
Mr. Long-rose: "Our disciples are likely gathering at the mountain for an emergency meeting."
Em's father turned to Nova, a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
Mr. Long-rose: "By the way, you never introduced yourself. Who are you, and why were you with my daughter?"
Em, quick to reassure her father, spoke up.
Em: "Dad, this is Nova. He's a colleague of mine. Nova helped me escape when Lord Michael devastated the planet. We owe him our lives."
Mr. Long-rose expressed his gratitude to Nova for his assistance.
Mr. Long-rose: "Thank you, Mr. Nova."
However, the conversation took a turn as Mr. Long-rose informed them about a disturbance in the space above the mountain. He revealed that someone had managed to breach the warding cast by the Divine Sword Family, causing a disturbance.
Nova, realizing the implications of the situation, nervously replied.
Nova: "Haha, that was us. We fell through the hole, causing the barrier to malfunction."
Em chimed in, providing more details.
Em: "Nova had a talisman that could enable us to pass through the barrier safely, but during the passage, it malfunctioned and exploded, creating a hole in the barrier."
Mr. Long-rose absorbed this information, his expression shifting from confusion to understanding.
Mr. Long-rose: "I see. Accidents happen, especially in times of crisis. I'll explain everything to the family head."
Mr. Long-rose: "You all must be tired and in need of rest. We'll discuss our plan of action soon. For now, please make yourselves comfortable."
After freshening up, Nova, Em, and Ignis were summoned by Mr. Long-rose. In a private room,
Mr. Long-rose, acknowledging the lingering question, addressed Nova directly.
Mr. Long-rose: "Are you my daughter's boyfriend?"
Nova, maintaining a professional demeanor, responded respectfully.
Nova: "No, sir. I am her personal assistant in the guild."
Em, sensing the need to delve into more pressing matters, joined the conversation.
Em: "Dad, what happened to El-kiin and Lord Gabriel?"
Mr. Long-rose sighed, the weight of the situation evident in his expression.
Mr. Long-rose: "Lord Michael razed the planet, destroying it entirely. Only the core remains, and it's likely to be refined by other angels in the future."
Em's eyes welled with sorrow at the devastating news. Trying to find solace and connection, she asked about her mother.
Em: "Where is Mother? I didn't see her."
Mr. Long-rose: "She went back to the family house."
The discussion came to an end,
The room fell into a brief silence as Nova and Em discussed their future paths.
Nova: "Em, I think we should part our ways here."
Em, surprised, questioned Nova's decision.
Em: "Why? You can stay here; my father can find you a job."
Nova, expressing gratitude, declined the offer.
Nova: "Em, thanks for the offer, but I need to travel and learn about my origins."
Em, understanding Nova's need for exploration, nodded in acknowledgment.
Em: "Alright but be careful out there. It's a dangerous world, especially now and do not attempt to go to COC, without proper identity they will lock you or worse.
go and meet Guild Master, she said she will help you."
Nova, considering the challenges ahead, asked for guidance.
Nova: "Where can I find the Guild Master?"
Em provided directions.
Em: "Go to Earth 666; that's where her family headquarters is."
Curious about the vastness of the realms, Nova inquired about the number of Earth planets.
Nova: "How many of these Earth planets are there?"
Em admitted uncertainty.
Em: "As far as I know, there are more than 1000, but I don't know the exact number. The Light Realm is vast, and nobody can claim to have ventured to every part of it."
Nova: how can I go to this earth-666 from here?
Em responded,
Em: there is a teleportation array in sword family.
Nova listened attentively as Em mentioned the teleportation array within the Sword family. Intrigued, Nova asked,
Nova: "Teleportation array? That sounds incredible. Do you think your father will grant us permission to use it?"
Em nodded confidently, "I believe so. My father is usually open to helping, especially if it involves important matters. I'll talk to him and see if we can use the array to get to Earth 666."
Excitement filled the air as Em reached out to her father, Mr. Long-Rose, to seek permission for Nova and herself to utilize the teleportation array. After a brief conversation with her father, Em turned to Nova and said, "He's agreed! We can use the teleportation array. Let's go meet my father and finalize the details."
Together, Nova and Em headed to the Sword family estate to make the necessary preparations for their journey to Earth 666.
