20 Arrival (1/2)
”A Magician?!” One of the servant's was the first to ask.
”A Sky Magician!!” A soldier answered with a look of awe.
Many of the Wilderwolf's soldiers and servants were exclaiming aloud in their collective shock and even Jonathan and Uncle Kil's expression's had a slight hint of surprise as they watched those specks of azure blue vanish into the horizon.
”Meow?”
'Sky Magician? Why haven't I heard about them before?'
In her confusion, she tilted her head towards Jonathan who wasn't too far away from her at this point. As if understanding her thoughts he promptly spoke. ”Little lass, in this world Magician's are split into stages, rank and then realm! For example, I am of the Late stage, Inner Haven Rank, Earth realm!! Earth Realm takes up the first four ranks a Magician can have, ending with the Spirit Rank. After the Spirit Rank, a Magician leaves the confines of the earth and learns to fly even without the use of a spell and enters the Sky Realm. Sky Magicians are very powerful and there are very few of them. In falcio, there are only around twenty of them!”
At this point, Uncle Kil's eyes lit up with a sense of pride as he proudly declared. ”That's right, and four of them belong to the Wilderwolf family!”
”Meow!”
”Yeah, both of my parents have reached the Sky Realm along with my grandfather and finally one of my Aunties is also a Sky Magician!”
”Tch! Ah, to think that in the end it was your father and our sister that ended up advancing to the Sky Realm, leaving me, the oldest behind in the dust.”
”It won't be just him leaving you in the dust!” Jonathan's mouth curved into a taunting grin, greatly annoying his Uncle whose eyebrows turned sharp like daggers.
”Oh, says the fool of a Nephew who was going to get his ass kicked! Alright, come on, this fight ain't done!!” Uncle Kil's said with fists clenched.
”You're on!” Jonathan immediately replied and the two were at each other once more...
★★★
Half an hour earlier to the far east of the continent, several thousand miles away from Falcio in a large Empire called Claw Reverence. It was here that a shocking event was about to take place.
There was wilderness in every direction and the sky was a bright blue. Everything was peaceful as animals and Magical Beast's alike wandered below the trees and birds flew with ease in the sky. But in a matter of a second everything in the surrounding area seemed to freeze...
All life didn't stop due to time stopping or any other magical means. No, they all froze due to a singular feel. A deep feeling of extreme fear!
RIP!
In the sky above the wilderness, a crack in the sky scattered out and every being in a several mile radius suddenly felt a large pressure press down on them. They didn't dare move lest they notify this foreign presence of their existence.
That crack continued to grow bigger and bigger until finally it was around 8 feet in height and 3 feet in width. The cracking stopped and suddenly reality seemed to bend. The cracks intertwined and pieces seemed to break off and vanish to dust.
In the gaps between the cracks that opened up there seemed to be what looked like a landscape of stars. It was like looking at the universe! More and more pieces of the area broke off until finally only an oval shape remained, looking like a portal to the universe outside.
Suddenly, in the center of that oval a ripple began to flow outwards with increasing intensity until a pale hand reached outwards. Following that, at an incredibly slow pace a full body was revealed as it came out of this portal limb by limb.
In the end, this person was revealed to be a young adult male with an extremely horrifying appearance as his whole body was covered in a shocking amount of blood! Large gaping wounds littered his body and there was even a large scimitar sticking out of his back. His long black hair was disgruntled and sweat trickled down his battered body. His eyes held an evil glint and his pearly white teeth were clenched tight as he bared the pain that felt like a thousand cuts. Despite his ragged and horrid appearance, one could tell that his facial features could be seen as quite handsome. Upon his body he wore a tattered dark violet robe that looked like it had been through a grinder.
Upon exiting the portal, it immediately condensed until eventually vanishing. The man held a disbelieving expression as he first looked at his two ragged hands, as if confirming his existence before surveying the surrounding area. However, his eyes didn't seem to just survey the surrounding area but through reality itself.
Done with his surveying, the man suddenly roared to the sky in a bellow of laughter. ”HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Not only did I survive those old bastards' onslaught I even discovered THE LOST WORLD!!! HAHAHAHA!!”
Upon hearing this crazed laughter, all life in the surrounding began to cower in fear. This was an existence that could end their little lives with a single thought!
When his mad laughter came to an end, the man began to speak to himself. ”So there is a way to get to the Lost World... When I recover, I'll have the power to rule over this whole land! The highest power here are only Emperor Magician's, they are hardly a threat to my esteemed self... Kahaha... First though, I need to recover. By using THAT method... I should be able to recover in around 100 years... And when I quell this world, I'll have the power to retaliate. I'll kill every single one of those old bastards!... ONE BY ONE!!!”
★★★
When that foreign man surveyed the entire world, most people didn't notice. In fact, less than 0.1% of the whole population of the world noticed this gaze upon them. These people that did notice were all Magician's off this so called Emperor Rank!
This gaze felt like a huge pressure, they felt the power of a being beyond them and every single one of them felt a sense of impending danger! In a rapid dash, these powers gathered a few powerful allies and set off towards the East. Towards the Claw Revenence Empire. Towards the source of this gaze!
Sky Realm Magicians and Magical Beasts across the world were all flying at top speeds. From powerful rulers of Kingdoms and Empire's to hidden experts. A large gathering of the world's strongest was soon to take place!...

Back in Falcio, in the Capital City of Falcon. In the Northern Noble's District. In a large estate was the home of a certain large family of the Falcio Kingdom. The Wilderwolf family!
In one room a middle aged man sat alone behind a desk filled with sheets of paper and a large amount of open and closed books. This room was the Head of the Wilderwolf families study room. Books laid abandon on the floor and mysterious items were held behind locked glass cupboards.
