[Message received]
After reading the contents of the letter, Slyvia let out a big sigh of relief.
"So my little sunshine if finally coming back then?" Scarlett said with a bright look on her face. She quickly grabbed one of the cupcakes that were left on the table and proceeded to stuff her face in. It only took a matter of seconds before the whole thing had disappeared.
"Yes..," Slyvia replied, amazed at her monstrous eating speed.?"It seems he finished doing whatever he was up to, but he said it would still be a few days before he got back.
Inside of Slyvia's grand and lavish pink room. In the corner by the window, the two girls were enjoying a midafternoon tea with deserts. Over the past week, Ray's mother Scarlett had been staying at the Redwing kingdom, and Slyiva had made it her duty to look after her.
The only thing was, she didn't realise how difficult it would be.
For some reason, her mind was always busy as she took Ray's mother around the place. It felt like she was showing her own mother her achievements, as she explained everything, she did not want to disappoint her one bit.
And it seemed like she had done an excellent job. When Scarlett had arrived, she had expected to come to the Avrion she once knew off. She had been here only a couple of times, but the city that was imprinted in her mind before, and the one now were not the same one. It was only a couple of years ago that she came here to meet Ray to inform him of what had happened to his father. And yet, in such a small amount of time so much had changed.
What was even more shocking, according to Slyvia,?was this all happened because of Ray. While Slyvia showed the changes that had been made to the city, such as the Redwing guild hall, the steam-powered machinery she started to explain the history of what had occurred.
And Scarlett was Equally keen to listen to how one day in the newspaper she had heard that her Son had become a king.
It all started out with a prophecy, a prophecy from the divine being that a red haired child would either become the saviour or the destroyer of Bronzeland. This led to Ray one of the red haired children, while he was at the academy to being targeted by a group called the Purebloods. A group that believed the red haired children would be the destroyer of Bronzeland.
'How could they think my little Sun would destroy the whole place that's ridiculous!' Scarlett protested.
Little did everyone know that they were working with the Dark guild. Later on during the yearly tournament, the Dark Guild had attacked. There had been attacks before, but never at this level, this was different. For the leader himself, Morfran was involved. At the time the whole city was in a panic, and no one knew the Pure bloods and the Dark guild were working together. When all hope was lost, a saviour had arrived.
'And you're telling me that was my little Ray?' Scarlett said with eyes beaming with excitement.
At the time, no one knew it was Ray, but he had indeed managed to fend off the Dark guild leader and save many of the student's lives. As time continued, Ray and a few others had discovered that Dark guild and the Purebloods seemed to be deeply rooted with the Shadow plague, the ultimate enemy of the human race.
Later on another attack was planned on the Kingdom of Avrion, and it seemed all hope was lost, even with Ray getting rid of the Pureblood leader and scaring off the Dark guild form an underground attack, the Shadow sent some of its strongest beasts to get rid of the city. Ray tried his best but even with hi-strength, he was unable to defeat them. At the last second, we seemed to have been saved by a Blue Wyvern, a powerful smart creature who had made a deal with the Divine being.
Although the attack was stopped, the Avrion that everyone knew was no more, and in turn, Ray made an offer. For everyone to unite under the banner of the Redwings, a group that Ray was secretly building up to defeat the bad inside Avrion.
"I knew it, I knew he was so cool!"
As Avrion began to get rebuilt, Ray went off in search to find more out about the prophecy. Ray had a deep interest in the dragon knights of the past, and one of the weapons that were wielded was called the Dragon hammer. A great powerful item that perhaps could help turn the tide in the war against the shadow plague.
Reports of the dragon hammer had said it had been seen in Kelberg city. While there they had made some friends along the way and eventually discovered the hammer, but it turns out the hammer had possessed a certain individual. Worried it would ruin the city, Ray and the man had a grand duel. In the end, Ray had come out as the successor of the Duel.
However, a grave accident had occurred once they had captured the man. Gary, Ray's closest and best friend when trying to remove the hammer, ended up getting possessed himself. Unknown to them, the hammer before was owned by an ordinary man yet still he had great power. Now with someone as skilful as Gary, it had possessed far greater power. Once again, Ray found himself too weak to do anything.
While in the city of Kelberg, he discovered that there was another piece of the Divine being. There had been rumours that the Divine being belonged in several cities, but never knew if they were true. One the way to the divine being, Ray's group, had met up with Gary again. For some reason, he had let them go free, and gave them the time frame of a year. In a year's time, there shall be a great battle, a warning sent out to Ray.
After meeting the second Divine being, she had given him a task, Stating that he must find the final piece, located in Roland. To stop the shadow form succeeding in their attack in a year, they would need her help. This led their journey onto Roland.
'Roland, I went there as well, I wonder if he's still upset that he never got in?'
At Roland, finding the last piece of the Divine being proved difficult and one of the Shadow Guard, the strongest members of the shadow plague had gotten in their way. Still, Ray was able to fend him off while also saving the prince of the Kingdom. This was important because the divine being had stated that the prince was important in their goal. And it turned out to be true, for some reason, the shadow plague wishes to get thier hands on the prince.
Once they had met with the final piece of Divine being, she had become whole again and is now with us at Avrion.
"Wait what! You're joking, right, you have to be joking!"
When Slyvia explained what had happened at Roland, she was unable to give full details, as she herself didn't know the full details. What she did know, was for some reason, Ray seemed to have made a few enemies while being there and that included the Empire.
At the time, the Redwing base had been expanding and growing in power, doing many deeds around. The kingdoms nearby and people started to learn of our name. The Empire was afraid and decided that anyone related to the Redwings, shall be our enemy. With our close ties with the Alure kingdom, we were afraid they would get dragged in as well.
The only thing we could do was claim independence as our own Kingdom. During this time, Ray showed them a part of our power to deter the Empire from attacking, they even tried stopping us with the Black rings, the strongest and biggest guild in the allure kingdom but it was no use.
Finally, Slyvia had finished, telling the story of how Ray had become king, she went on to tell that just before she had arrived Ray had gone off with Jack to see his family. While the Kingdom was left with important tasks.
"What an amazing tale, I knew one day Ray would amount to something special, but I never thought it would be this," Scarlett said as she looked out the window of one of the most amazing cities she had ever seen.
"You didn't tell Ray I was here right, I want it to be a big surprise after all."
"Of course not, as you requested," Slyvia replied.
"Well, if he's not going to be here for a few days, I would like to go out with the expedition team if I can. I want to know about the people who travelled with Ray a bit more, and I'm definitely excited to meet the divine being."
"Of course that can be arranged, they set out early tomorrow."
"Excellent."
