120. The Rise of Azuria

Nytri arrives in the city square to see everyone gathered, the Agreth and his group managed to arrive after flying at full speed. They look exhausted especially the demi-gods.

Everyone is waiting in the city square. Paxius, Lyra, Ivan, Dialdelios, King and golem set are on a platform looking over everyone. They wait for a long time then Paxius gets up looking around, "Where is Nytri?"

Nytri raises her hand in the crowd, "Uhh, here!"

Paxius looks at here with a blank stare, King runs over to her and pulls her to the platform. King speaks, "My liege, your place is reserved up here. We've been waiting for you all this while."

"Really?" Nytri tilts her head in confusion. King brings her to Paxius, Nytri smiles at Paxius.

Paxius flicks her on her head, "You made us waste a lot of time and now the pie is cold."

Nytri holds her forehead, "How was I suppose to know you were waiting for me?!" Nytri feels wronged.

Paxius turns to look at the people before him, "Right here, we will establish our home, our domain, our kingdom!" they cheer although some have no idea why. Paxius spreads his arms, "The name of our home from henceforth, will be called…." He glances back at Nytri.

Nytri is startled, "Uhh Azuria." She moves her shoulder in uncertainty.

Paxius squints his mouth, "Azuria it is." Fireworks are fired into the sky and the name Azuria is written for all too see. Everyone joins in in lunching their own firework writing things like, 'Azuria', 'Azuria Rules!', 'Home Sweet Home', 'Heart sign', 'All hail Azuria', 'Has anyone seen my ladle?'.

Paxius looks at the sky with a blank face, "Right, everyone can write in the sky." He addresses everyone, "Now, let us open the palace of our kingdom!" He jumps to the big castle at the center of the city and everyone follows him. He lands before the ribbon tied around the castle, he turns back to look at everyone. Some a flying while others are on the ground. Paxius looks at Nytri, "Nytri as the one who made all this possible, it will be a great honor if you'd cut this ribbon."

Nytri opens her eyes, "Sure." She walks before the castle and Paxius hands her a huge scissors, Nytri takes it and puts it on the ribbon. Nytri smiles, "Why don't we all cut it together?" Everyone smiles and stretch their hands, energy leaves their palms like tiny hands and touch the scissors. Nytri looks at Agreth, Agreth and his people can't do that so Agreth holds Nytri's shoulder and his people hold hands.

Nytri smiles brightly, her thoughts. "This is wonderful. I'm glad we're all together." Nytri then speaks, "Alright everyone, all together! 1, 2, 3!" She cuts the ribbon and everyone cheers in celebration.

Everyone's face is filled with smiles, Paxius stands before everyone and announces. "The one who cut the ribbon is our KING!"

Nytri turns to Paxius, "Wait what?" every cheers drowning Nytri's protest. She announces with Telepathy in everyone's head, "I can't be the King, I'm just a kid. The one to be burden- responsible for this is one who has experience with ruling." Nytri grins, "Hmmm?"

Everyone looks at Paxius, his thoughts. "My plans on avoiding work have been foiled by an age factor....I'll go on a vacation on of these days." He resolves in his heart

Agreth makes a suggestion, "How about Nytri becomes the Princess instead? She'll be Paxius' daughter." Everyone likes the idea and people agree to it, Nytri has mixed feeling but she goes along with it. They break off and have a large party with lots of food, music and dancing.

Nytri tried dancing but it didn't go so well…..Anyway, a couple centuries later, her dancing become famous. It became known as the 'Mechanical tripping but not falling' dance. Azuria's location is in the unexplored forest filled with dangerous powerful monsters, monsters who were later pets in the kingdom. With their vast array of skills and technological knowledge, the kingdom flourished. A few weeks later Paxius announced the presence of the kingdom to the continent and started relations with other nations. He established trade caravans which use panzers made by Nytri in the realm of monsters.

Azuria was instantly rich in culture and wealth, this attracted many nations to them. Though a new nation has been born, they world is yet to know of its military power. Azuria expanded in the unexplored forest and gained reputation for that. Merchants from all around searched for safe passage into Azuria but could not find it. Azurian merchants were the only ones capable of trading Azurian wares outside it. Even if merchants managed to enter Azuria, they didn't have security to guarantee their safety out because of the powerful monsters. Paxius didn't resolve this issue because he wanted to control how Azurian goods were moved out.

Azurians and Azurites populated Azuria and they came together as Azurians, the whole lesser race was put aside because they saw no need for it. They took up jobs in the city and made a functioning society. People started integrating into the city and noticed the residents to mostly be Dungeon dwellers. Though people came to Azuria, they weren't allowed to stay for long until the acquired a citizen's identity. The research team of Azuria led by Isadora Goldstein created an ID crystal that kept records of people and couldn't be lost. The same ID crystal can be created by the owner anytime they wanted because it was locked to their energy wavelength.

The Xenos vanished again from earth, they roamed outer space in explorations and uncovering mysteries. Some returned after a while and started to manipulate things from the shadows of the world. They also searched for new continents in Azuria's name but left those continents for the nations to start conquering them. They also mapped the entire demon continent and beast continent which were surprisingly small.

As for Nytri, She returned back to Mirthendom, the kingdom she was born in because of nostalgia and childhood dreams. She had the dream of being and adventurer once and she was going to live that life. A couple Azurians came with her because they were already adventurers and at Gold rank.
