Return to the Forest of Monarchs and Monarch’s Refuge

Early Sunday morning Blaze, Hunter and Sky as well as Arlan and Taiga find themselves summoned to a room deep within the academy.

As the 5 boys look around confused the door opens and in walk 7 figures, 5 humans , a dragon born and an elf.

"I'm sure your wondering why you were summoned so early in the morning and we'll get to that in a moment, but first I think introductions are in order" a women with long black and and fierce red eyes states. "Beginning with myself, I'm Yui Dev'Lore headmistress of this academy"

"I'm Claire , captain of the academy guard"

"Leon, Grandmaster of the Hunters and the Mercenary Guilds"

"Mika, Grandmaster of the Adventurers Guild"

"Kaito Val'or, Grand Marshall of the Royal Lumine Empire"

As the five of them step back a silver haired man steps forward "I'm Duke Lewis Lumine von Lutz, I'm the ruler of the Lutz Dukedom the Grand Duke of the Lumine Kindgom, I'm also Taiga's father as well as Arlan's Uncle."

He steps back and the last person steps forward "we meet briefly yesterday so let me properly introduce myself, I'm King August Lumine, I'm Arlan's father and Taiga's uncle" he looks at the others and the nod before looking at Blaze "and you're godfather sort of"

"What??!!!" Blaze, Arlan and Taiga jump out of their seats sharing the same reaction.

"The Fuck?!!" Hunter and Sky jump up practically finishing the thought the other three.

Without waiting for things to calm down August Lumine comtinues "it was never official, your parents weren't big on tradition they never were" he nods and smiles "they wanted to wait until you were older to make it official, but as we all know that didn't happen"

"We summed you for a few reasons" he turns to Taiga and Arlan "as for you two you both are extremely nosy so we included you just to avoid your shenanigans"

Duke Lumine steps forward "one of the things we wanted to discuss it's Blaze's birth specifically his bloodline and abilities, the other concern your parents but we'll talk about that later"

"Ok so what so important about my bloodline?" Blaze asks tilting his head in curiosity.

"Not here" King Lumine activates a portal.

"Wait if we weren't having this conversation here then why did we include Prince Arlan and Lord Taiga" Yui asks

"You don't know our boys, besides eavesdropping they would've followed us through the portal no matter how much we try the portal has a delay in closing they would've gotten through" King August explains while Duke von Lutz nods

As everyone steps through the portal upon reaching the other side Blaze's eyes widen as he sees his family before him "Fawkes, Scorch" he runs up to them.

Taiga, Arlan, Hunter and Sky take in the surroundings "So where are we" they asks

"We're in.." King Lumine begins to answer only to be cut off by Blaze

"It's the Forest of Monarch's, my home" Blaze says excitedly as a baby dragon lands on his head while a baby wolf climb up onto his shoulder.

The other boys are dumbfounded.

"The Forest of Monarchs, which means this village is Monarch's Refuge?" Arlan asks

"Yep!" Blaze smiles

the other look at him their mouth agape "how can you just say that so casually this place is basically an urban legend everyone knows it exists they know where it's located but no one can enter" Taiga states aggressively

"Why are we here? How?" Hunter and Sky chime in.

"A good question" a voice calls out from across the area

A cloaked man steps forward.

"Old man Reaver" Blaze smiles walking up to the cloaked figure, the other four boys' mouth's drop their faces pale.

"The Fuck!!!!" The four boys shocked as before them stands Lord Reaver one of the remaining 2 Monarchs.

Reaver chuckles at the reaction, even in this village he gets similar reactions, Blaze is the only one that's never reacted that way.

Blaze smiles to him Lord Reaver is just Old Man Reaver, someone he's known since he first came to the village and his mentor, as well as the one responsible for Blaze and the CinderFlame brothers love of pranks and their habit of getting into trouble.

"Who you calling Old man you little battle junkie" Lord Reaver.

King Lumine and his group flinched at those last few words and Reaver who notices it simply smirks.

"Yep he inherited that bad habit and he's worst them both of them combined" Reaver says smirking as the others groan knowing that once the term begins tomorrow that instead of dealing with what they thought would be a simple headache was instead a full blown Migraine.

Blaze just smirks at the reactions.

"Follow me" Reaver responds.

As Reaver leads the way the other follow quietly well except for Blaze and the CinderFlame brothers, after about an hour of walking through the village and deeper into the forest they come to a clearing where gravestone lay.

While Blaze and the brother eyes are on the stone, everyone else's are on whose present, the twin elder dragons , an elder wolf, a great phoenix, a Monarch, leading figures not just their own kingdom but the world itself.

"Before you you'll notice names on the stone, names of the fallen Monarchs" Reaver says quietly.

Everyone eyes fall on the tombstones, most are in shock, but for Blaze he's simply curious and excited, he's been here before just sorta always drawn here from the very first day always had questions but never anyone willing to answer them and now maybe that is gonna change.

"This village this forest has a deep history, for starts it's the birth place of two of the monarch's it became the home of a third, and the is the resting place of all the monarch's bodies… mine will be laid to rest when the time comes, the spirit monarch when it's his time will join with this tree" Reaver points to the tree encircled by all the tombstone.

Blaze finds himself walk towards a secluded area 2 lone stones lay side by side in fromt of a statue, as he reads the stone his knees weaken and give out, his eyes flowing with tears.

The other boys notice and run over and as they stare at the stones a flow of emotions spread across their faces.

'Zenith Wolfgang Draconian, Valkyrie Wolfgang Draconain, Husband and Wife, Father and Mother, Heroes, May you rest in Peace, May you live on in our hearts forevermore' as the boys read it Hunter and Sky eyes fill with tears their emotions a mix of sadness and hatred.

Arlan and Taiga as well as the CinderFlame brothers stand their quietly, after awhile Blaze pulls himself together and whispers something before turning his attention to the statute the reason he was drawn over to this secluded spot, as he does the rest of the group walks over having given the boys their space.
