Arc 5 - Chapter 1: To the begining
"Let's try again everyone, this is a necessary spell to progress on your journey to use magic."
People lives on the land under the reign of the tactician of the Emprerys's order is gifted with natural power of controlling forces of nature, other is gifted with thaumaturgy some are gifted with divination. Magic of Hygenious is gathered in this land, with the incoming threat, it is the duty of those who has knowledge to give to others. Thaumaturgist works on controlling the abnormal event through the crystal pieces scatter around the world, people with talent to control forces of nature work with a beast partner those who closest to nature and those with divination talent works to forsee the future.
"The progress is great my tactician, everyone is keeping up with the same progress, but do we need to rush like this ?"
"The storm is coming, i want everyone can fight for this world or at least defend themselves. And most of all we are reaching a new era, with these miracle we can do much more to improve the future."
"There is no need to rush like that, i will do my best to defend this world."
"You report here is over, i will read the rest, there is something i like to speak with our Priest, personal."
The boy holding the report leaves it on the desk then left the room, from many of the Priest he knows their relationship, the Tactician usually calls him teacher. He himself also respect the Priest because the Priest helped everyone in this world to learn about magic, using the crystal for thaumaturgy and the bridge for human race to communicate with beast race. But some people think the Priest is not a good person because he make friend with the Nightmare and he also communicates with the abyss but the boy still believe the priest is a living saint.
"You are the head of the Divination department right ?"
A child-like figure approach the little boy, the mysterious figure wore a black coat with bandage wrap around his left eye and one of his hand. This is the one they have been talking about - the Nightmare but divination master know so well that dream and nightmare both tell the future. The dream reveal a peaceful future right in front of you while the nightmare made you find the future within your fear, not really that much of different.
"Master Ullyss..."
"Don't call me like that, just Ullyss. I want to be friend with everyone afterall so... how is everyone think about me, don't afraid to be honest."
"There you are Ullyss."
"Musouka."
"I am so sorry Irazael but it seem like i have a little business with our friend Ullyss here, it would be nice if you can speak to my brother about the report of our research."
Musouka gives Irazael the report he is carrying, compare to the report of all three departments this one is a much heavier. The report is a about fantasy manipulation ability that Ullyss has, because of the dark and tragic past affect a lot on his power, the reason for his name - the Nightmare come from these influences.
"Reading something you are not allow to read ?"
"Ah, Pollire, it is just something about the research about Ullyss."
"Let me see it."
"You can't... Hey, give it back."
The crystal shard on Pollire's neck shining the report in Iaael's hands float to her and open by itself for her to read. The title - Research about fantasy trickster - Ullyss, the report about his power and the power to manipulate fantasy but as Pollire reads the report, a fox jump and grab the report, deliver it to another person. The man holding the report in his hand, he is shown to wear a long robe, along his side is two spirits, a nine-tail fox and a tanuki.
"You two are really annoy, go and do something else... interesting, maybe you two are not too annoying sometime. Pollire, Irazael, didn't you two have something more interesting to do rather than tossing around Master Musouka's report ?"
"You always ruin the fun. Sometime i even wonder if you are truly a seeker of knowledge ?"
"No, i am a celestial magus, someone wander above the cloud don't tie themselves to the earth."
"Careful, you may fall if you step on the wrong cloud."
"And is that prophecy from you my oracle ?"
"No, just want to mess with you a little bit."
"You really annoying like my two little friends here."
"We are not that annoying."
"Children is curious you know."
The fox and the tanuki turn into human form, they are not higher than a small child, the fox carry a small fan and the tanuki carrying a flute. The man who known as their contractor also master of elemental and spiritual magic - Varuso, different from emperor Yeon with the curse of childish immortality, Varuso obtains the blessing of eternal youth.
"Master Kuoni won't be happy about this action from everyone of us so, can you two return to your division, i will deliver this to Master Kuoni."
The academy is constructed during the absence of Kuoni, Musouka and Yeon want to promote knowledge of Hygenious's people. The academy teach for both student with talent in using magic or not, the chance for everyone is equal and with the return of Kuoni, the academy expand even more on the subject and the method of teaching and conduct experiment. Knowledge is given to everyone and suitable for their abilities, no one know when everything collapse but they all prepare for the end of the world, the Priest announced if this world is on the brink of the end, he will do anything to save it.
"Our author is trying really hard, isn't he ?"
"He is our author afterall, not just the author, he is also our guardian, this world and every other worlds, we can't do anything but doing our best to prepare for the incoming storm."
"Don't worry my Chancellor, everything is in my control, in the end everything would be alright."
"I am just really worry."
The High Chancellor left the room, in the hand of the Tactician is a small globe, it may look like a simple tool but this is the wonder of all research. With the research of himself and his brother, everything is coming into a bigger picture, this war will be a perfect chance to test their invention but over confident is a killer, to consider this war a test is to walk on thin ice. To entertain doubt is to dance with death, a researcher's duty is to find knowledge and a tactician's duty is to win without losing anything.
"And the duty of the headmaster is to protect everyone, so much work need to be done and they give us no time, or is it..."
The globe in his hand, a wonder, the greatest archivement he created, an upgrade version of the device to disable time manipulation. The device in Kuoni's hands is called the cosmic arcane, a device not just disable time manipulation but capture everything about it, in a dimension, anything about time manipulation will be captured and return into nothing but dust. The invention allow Kuoni to define himself as an inventor, an artist capture the star in a casket of nightsky.
"You seem to do well my student."
"You are here, everything is still on progress but you really need to stop impress my student so much. They can't focus on their research."
"I guess my true appearance really seem to be suspicious afterall, Morphis you don't need to be here everytime you know."
"It is the honor of the duelist to accept his opponent everytime they want a duel."
"But you are not really a duelist, you are a spider using the smell of flower to lure butterflies into your web."
"The mask of honor represent the killing intent of the Mariposian."
"Homesick ?"
"They denided me first so there is no reason for feeling homesick, but for now my author, if you need my service summon me when you need."
"It seem like the progress of that little device you make gone really well, and how is your brother's research with my little friend ?"
"They done great, my brother and your friend, they can create a lot of powerful thing, i saw the prototype of their creation, it is impressive. So you have any plan ?"
"My plan is simple, i will fight them if i can't defeat them i will just return to dreamhall and write them out of history, i can just return to dreamhall and do that but all of these memories will gone and i just don't want to lose them."
"Everyone can scare of something, sometime losing something can be painful, with you that is your memories and with me that is my brother. But it seem like duty call you again my teacher, my Priest of dream garden."
"Then i hope your student and you can reach the greatest archivement, my student, the tactician of night sky."
Yhaovi left the headmaster's room, on his way out he saw Irazael, but Morphis didn't follow him so Irazael didn't know he is the Priest and thought he is another member of the Emprerys. A gentle gesture suggest civilization come from both of them, Yhaovi wants to inspect the changes in Hygenious and everything is different than the moment he arrived to this world.
"Write down everything quil, i need the perfect condition of Hygenious, this would become useful for next author when he creates worlds."
"So you finally want to speak something to me my author."
"You know there is no need to record about everything about me right ?"
"No but i think future author would love to stay in dreamhall and read in the archive then there should be something for them there to read."
"I guess you do make your point right there, so you can keep on writing i think i need to witness the changes in this world and prepare for that unavoidable war."
Hygenious changed a lot, every continent is filled with buildings and structure, Kuoni's academy is one of those structure. Other construct in this region include the library, labotory and even an observatory and a garden, every construct is built by thaumaturgist and require no help from other races. Every construct serve the purpose of helping with researcher purpose, Logos of the abyss is the one who offer Kuoni with the help for the construct of the library.
"It seem like we see enough in my student's little kingdom, let's go somewhere else."
"Yes, my author."
The headquarter of Emprerys, the capital of Rahphel - Lumeria, currently is the settlement of a lot of races, but despite the population and the variety of races, Lumeria is one of the most peaceful and flourish region in Hygenious. Maybe because of the condition of Hygenious, a post apocalypse world, conflict exist in everyone and everything but maybe the condition of Hygenious surpress the conflict but can people surpress confliction when peace return to the world.
"We all can hope my author, hope they don't follow the footstep of Altoris, because we can only design the crucible of world, write its structure. It is the job of the creature of that world to build their own world, because of the threat we received so this time you have the permission to interfere with the event."
"Then i must thank the Seer for that."
"Next in our section is the North right ?"
"Let's go."
The first thing welcome Yhaovi is the cold wind of the north, the houses built in the north is much better than those in the past, but because of the temperature of the north, the main sources of food still depend on hunting. There is no hope in education for them but Neur is the one who do the negotiation with the outside world so they would be fine for now. With Niun's influence and Neur's knowledge, the black giant race slowly reach new civilization, Neur's new talent is thaumaturgist with the crystal shard of the north.
"Author Yhaovi."
"You don't need to call like that, only my servant needed too, it seem like your son did a really great job, a human standing between giants and still found his voice."
"He has his father is the leader after all. And it seem like your friend is here."
"Oh, so you also follow me too, Ullyss..."
"I think you are doing somthing fun so i followed you for a while now."
"I think you do quite many exploration in this world already."
"I did but i never been to north before, not that cold but i guess there could be something new... they are coming in five days, i have to return to finish my creations, and please Yhaovi, you must keep yourself safe."
"Niun."
"There is nothing need to talk more, let's depart."
