On the grand stage, amidst the celebrations and well-wishers, Hamrick, the skilled blacksmith, stepped forward, carrying a beautifully crafted suit of armor.
Hamrick addressing Nova, "Mr. Nova, your Spirit Armor is now complete. I took the liberty of enhancing it. It not only possesses remarkable durability but also features an auto-repair function. Additionally, I've integrated a dimensional pocket for your convenience."
Nova examined the intricacies of the armor, visibly pleased with the craftsmanship and added features.
Nova hinted, "Hamrick, this is exceptional work. If ever you decide the eldermysts don't appreciate your skills, remember, I'd be honored to have you here. I'll ensure you're rewarded accordingly."
Hamrick, with a firm nod, replied, "In this life, my loyalty lies with the eldermysts."
Nova acknowledged Hamrick's unwavering loyalty, recognizing a man of principles amid a world often swayed by personal gains.
Amidst the crowd, the siblings, Ignis and Freya, along with the twins, stepped onto the stage. In unison, the lords, kings, and tribe chiefs presented a magnificent long sword, a collaborative effort to create a weapon befitting Nova's unique abilities.
Freya said to nova,
"Father, this sword was forged using resources pooled together by the rulers of the regions. We thought it might be more energy-efficient for you."
Nova inspected the blade, recognizing its compatibility with his Unique energy.
Freya asked,
"Please, Father, give it a name."
Nova contemplated for a moment, realizing the significance of this weapon. With a solemn expression, he agreed.
Nova: "This blade shall be known as 'Moonlight.' It is a beacon of light, reflecting the unity and strength of Starhaven."
Freya, satisfied with the name, urged Nova to establish a deeper connection with the sword. Nova, understanding the ritual, cut his finger, allowing a drop of his blood to fall onto the blade. The sword responded with a radiant glow, accepting the bond forged in blood.
Freya, observing the spectacle, spoke, "Now, Moonlight is bound to you, Father, and shall serve as an extension of your will."
With 'Moonlight' raised high, Nova proudly introduced the new addition to his arsenal as 'Silver Star.' He seamlessly integrated the long sword into the newly forged Spirit Armor, hiding it within the subspace. The intricacies of Hamrick's craftsmanship were concealed to the naked eye but spoke volumes about the artifact's sophistication.
As the festivities wound down, everyone started to leave the star haven.
Nova sensed something amiss – hidden beings that lingered even after everyone went back. Addressing Freya, he expressed his concerns.
Nova said, "freya, we have unwelcome guests lurking. Use the 'Shadow-Order' to bring them in discreetly. And where's Queen Cynthia?"
"Cynthia and the Eldermysts are still here, staying in the castle's guest room," Freya replied.
Intent on resolving the mystery, Nova instructed Freya to bring the guests to the meeting room.
"Prepare the meeting room; I'll be there soon," Nova said. "We need to know about these unfamiliar presences on Starhaven."
Inside the opulent guest room, Cynthia marveled at the architectural marvel that was Nova's castle. Curiosity getting the better of her, she sought answers from Maximilian.
Cynthia curiously asked Maximilian,
"Max, who is behind the creation of this magnificent castle? I thought mine was the epitome of beauty and majesty, but this... this is on another level."
Maximilian explained,
"Ah, this was a collaborative effort between Lord Gareth Emberforge and King Elowen Silverblade. The Steamforged, skilled architects, partnered with the Magnetites to assemble the structure. And thanks to the Aetherials, spatial routes were implemented for teleportation access. It's a true work of art."
Cynthia pressed on, intrigued by the newfound species and structures.
"Where have these species been hiding all this time? Why haven't we discovered them until now?" Cynthia inquired?
Maximilian replied.
"Ignis and Freya scoured the entire plane, discovering these exotic species. to populate the star haven."
Freya entered the guest room, and the door creaked open. The atmosphere shifted as the party inside turned their attention towards her. With a graceful bow, she addressed the distinguished guests, "Sorry for the delay, your majesties. Father is available now. Can you please follow me?"
Cynthia and the party followed Freya into the meeting room, leaving the luxurious guest room behind. Cynthia, curious, inquired, "Freya, is it? Do I know you?"
Freya, reflecting on her past life and understanding that no grudges lingered from then, replied, "No, your majesty. We have never met before."
The party, led by Freya, entered the meeting room where Nova was waiting. "You are here, your majesties," Nova greeted. Cynthia expressed her concern, "We have been waiting for your coronation for an entire year. The situation outside is not good, Nova."
Nova motioned for them to take their seats. "Take your seats, majesties, and you too, Freya and Ignis."
As they settled into their seats, Nova acknowledged his absence, "I have been in sleep for an entire year. Can you explain what has happened outside?"
Cynthia began explaining, "After the ritual last year, the rulers became aware of our planes."
Nova, puzzled, questioned, "How? I thought only trusted individuals were invited to the ritual and shared the secret of the outer planes."
Cynthia revealed, "Do you remember Lucifer? The companion who always tagged along with Beelzebub." Nova nodded, acknowledging his presence at the ritual, "I saw him at your ritual. It's my first time seeing him."
Cynthia continued, "He was a spy from the angelic family. We trusted him, but after the ritual, he informed about our planes to the Light God. The information reached the Light Avatar."
Intrigued, Nova asked, "So, what did you do with Lucifer?"
Cynthia solemnly replied, "After learning of the betrayal, Beelzebub executed his friend and sent his head to me as proof."
Nova, absorbing this revelation, inquired, "Lucifer is dead?
Cynthia confirmed, "Yes, he is dead. But the entire upper realm retaliated, launching a war for the remaining elements. We put a cease-fire until we locate the remaining three elements.
Everyone in the entire plane is searching for them."
Nova, realizing the gravity of the situation, asked, "How are you so sure that the remaining elements are in the universal plane?"
Cynthia explained the connection to Max's father and the creation of the spell. Nova, recognizing the urgency, stated, "We need to secure these artifacts before they fall into the wrong hands. But finding them in the vastness of the universal plane is no easy task."
Nova said, 'What are these three items?'
Cynthia explained, 'The 'Crocked Feather' - a feather with a mix of all colors, the 'Purified Star Rock' - a rock filled with pure essence, and the last one, the 'Eye of the Lost' - an indestructible eye imbued with dark energy.'
A flicker of recognition passed through Nova. He recalled seeing that eye somewhere before.
Nova said to Cynthia, 'I know where the eye is located.'
Both Cynthia and Max exclaimed in unison, 'What? You know where the Lost Eye is located? Where is it?'
Nova calmly replied, 'In Alaric's library. There is a secret room in the library where various parchments and items are stored. I saw the eye in a box there, and I am certain about it.'
Max, surprised, muttered, 'That thing has been under my nose all this time.'
Cynthia, considering the new information, said, 'With that artifact in our hands, there are only two elements we need to find.'
The revelation brought a spark of hope to the situation. The quest to secure the elemental artifacts seemed more achievable now that the location of one was known. The group began to discuss their strategy for retrieving the Eye of the Lost from Alaric's library.
