Chapter 73 - Seeking The Enemy!! (1/2)
...
The next day rolled around and Kayn awakened from his slumber. That's when he received a knock at the door; there were multiple maids that had three table serving worth of food. Kayn was indeed feeling really hungry when he awoke, these maids came just on time. Kayn let them pushed the food in, once they pushed everything in, they bowed and dismissed themselves.
”Oh, yeah, this is some good eating right here!” Kayn dug in right away, it took him 10 minutes to finish all of his food. This morning Athena had went to talk to her father, leaving Ariel in her room. Ariel had her own room but she hung out in Athena's room the most, it was also one of the biggest rooms in the palace, so that could be one of the reasons as well.
She went to talk to her dad about leaving to go train elsewhere with Kayn. Kayn was going to train her for the upcoming tournament and take out those annoy organization while he was at it. After talking with her for about an hour or so, the king saw no problem with it at all, he found that his daughter had indeed grown much stronger after using that machine to check her power level.
At this time, Kayn had already done all of his morning routines. He just stayed in his room and relaxed until early afternoon, he was just doing some minor workouts. But at that time, he received a knock at the door. This time it was Athena and Ariel, they were accompanied by many other maids who were coming to get the dishes that were probably finished by now.
The maid looked at the empty platters with surprise. They all looked at Kayn deeply and took everything away before bowing and leaving. ”Goodness, you eat so much, I've never seen anything like it before!” Ariel was stunned seeing so many empty plates
”Like my dad use to say, with great strength comes a great appetite.” Kayn nodded and said. He couldn't help but think back in his previous life, he didn't eat so much back then. Fortunately, he set things up for his mom, so that if anything happened to him, it would go to her.
”I talked to my dad earlier this morning, we are good to go train.” Athena was eager to see what training she would receive. She also wanted to get to the bottom of who was trying to kill her.
”Good, Good!” Kayn then looked Ariel who was silent. ”What about you, are you coming or going home now? I plan to leave today and now if possible.” Kayn was a Bizzy body and wanted more adventure. Athena also had to train, the tournament was going to be more famous than the Auction and attract many more clans! Clans that didn't show up would bring many strong fighters to represent them and Athena was far too weak to hold a candle to them.
”I'll go as well, I wouldn't mind training with you guys. I don't like to fight much but it is essential for me to be strong so that one day I can become the clan leader. I also want to witness the destruction of those organizations. Don't worry, my family knows I'm going to be away for a while so there is no problem. They already know about the infamous bodyguard of the Pheonix clan.” Ariel ranted on and on about everything.
”Uh, okay then.” Kayn was kinda speechless, this girl had quite the mouth. He also gave Athena a side look, she apparently told Ariel about everything.
”My dad wanted to talk to you but I told him that we'll be busy for now on and that he can talk to you later. There will be plenty of time for that, the tournament is at hand and I have to be stronger, so he understands.” Athena ȧssured Kayn
”Okay, let's prepare to leave. First, we'll go destroy those order of ȧssassins. Well, I'll go destroy them, you guy can watch.” Athena and Ariel didn't have a problem with that and they left. Athena was going to pack some clothes, she had storage pouch to hold her things.
While they were gone, Kayn decided to enter his closed-off space. He was immediately greeted with blue beautiful skies. And there he saw, many kids playing and having fun with smiles on their faces, yes, this was what it was like to live.
”Ah, Mister. Kayn, welcome back!” The little girls all ran up to him with joyful faces. He had come to visit this space often in his free time. They had finally grown used to Kayn over the course of a month and a half, much to Kayn relief. After what they went through, kids don't recover from such trauma. There were still some that sat back, not all of them were open yet but this was understandable.
”I'm good. It great to see that you guys are having fun. This is what it means to live and in the future, you'll have many more friends.” Kayn patted one of the little girls' heads and walked off, he had a quick question to ask Alia.
As he walked away, he could hear one of the girls say thank you in a really low voice, most people wouldn't hear this but with his strength, he heard it clearly. Kayn turned around and saw the little girl that said it, she immediately put her head down when she saw Kayn look at her. The girl was an actual mermaid, but Kayn couldn't tell since she had legs. She would grow flipper and fish-like character upon being exposed to water.
Kayn smiled and shook his head and walked away. He soon came to a villa, this was Alia home. He knock and Irene opened the door, the minute she saw that it was Kayn, she let him in without question. ”Mom is in the kitchen, she is making lunch right now, but she should be done by now.” Irene said with a smile. She was watching some movies that Kayn had introduced to her.
Soon, Alia invited him into the kitchen, he sat down and stretched a bit. ”So, mister Kayn, what brings you here today?”Alia smiled as she put a cherry in her mouth.
”Well, I was wondering, where can I find the Snow elves?” Kayn asked
Alia's face turned emotional and she said. ”The snow elves have to been completely eliminated, there is no more of them.” Alia put her head down and said, she used all of her might to hold back her tears. Kayn was stunned for second, he never could have thought that they would be destroyed.
”ahem, my bad, but I have a way to bring them back later.” Kayn could just use the dragon balls to bring them back, it wasn't much of a big deal for him.
”There is such a way?” Alia looked at Kayn with disbelief but nodded anyway.
”You'll see, I just wanted to know about the snow elves but it turns out that they're dead. Do you by any chance know who wiped them out?” Kayn touched his chin and asked
”I don't know, all I know is that when we were kidnaped, the underworld Alliance told us that our clan was killed off by some unknown party. The Alliance wanted to enslave our people but found out when they got there, that they were destroyed.” Alia clenched her first and said
”I see, well, all in good time, just wait a bit. I'll be leaving now.” Kayn got up and was prepared to leave until Alia spoke up.
”Aren't you staying for lunch?” Alia pointed to the food on the counter that she just got done cooking.
”Oh, I ate already, so it's okay. Just make sure everyone here eats well and is happy.” Kayn said no more and warped away.
”Hmm, so he has a way to revive my people? I can't wait to see how he does it.” Alia spoke with excitement. She hoped that what he was saying was true.
