Chapter 8: A New Beginning 2
Crowds of people started to gather around the three of them.
"Look it's the Monarch."
"Who are those two"
"The elf girl looks dirty"
Faces of disgust and curiosity circled around them.
Shiebe: Eros! What the hell are you insane what if we died.
Eros: I would destroy it. It's only a test after all. As for why i did it..lets just say that you two are going to need the training if you want to make it in this world.
Zaneff:..Training?
Eros: Let's take more in my palace.
Shiebe: Wait! How did you teleport us here.
Eros: It's one of my abilities as a Monarch. I can teleport anyone I want as long as i'm close enough to my homeland.
Shiebe now felt embarrassed after realising that people were watching him tried to hide his face as him and Zaneff followed him accompanied by guards.
The city was beautiful especially in the night. People dancing, The music that played, The detailed architecture. The lights.
Eros: Welcome to Dynastian. The Land of the Night..right now you are experiencing the festival of life.
"Hey it's the Monarch. He has returned."
Everyone's attention turned towards Eros. Eros smiled as he stopped walking and turned towards the people.
Eros: My dear people of the night. I have returned and I bring two guest that will be staying with us for quite some time. Meet the Crimson red hair fighter and The next big thing. Shiebe Zackaria!!! and The quiet but deadly elf girl who's going to overtake her father as a council member. Zaneff Feriona De Louch!!! I will train the two of them to become outstanding warriors so please treat them with respect.
An Uproar of cheers filled the city
"I knew she looked familiar."
"Shiebe Zackaria. The newest member of the Zackria's"
"Wow how did the Monarch find them"
"That Zackaria kid doesn't look to happy though"
Eros continued to walk up the golden stairs to his huge palace. Pillars made of gold and a huge statue of him in the middle.
Shiebe: You really do love yourself don't you
Eros: It's not me but my fateful followers.
As Shiebe kept walking he realised that Zaneff was by him. He looked behind him to see her staring at the statue of Eros admiring it deeply.
-Is it really that amazing. I guess it's normal for a girl her age to be obsessed over a guy like him-
Shiebe: Hey Zaneff were gonna leave you behind if you don't hurry.
Zaneff: Oh right..I'm sorry...
They stopped at a huge golden door where 10 women stood in front of it.
ALL: Welcome back your highness.
Eros: Ah, my wonderful wives it's been too long.
-Of course he has 10 wives. Why am I not surprised-
Eros jumped into his wives hugging them all. They seemed happy so Shiebe didn't pay much attention to it.
Eros: Ah meet Shiebe and Zaneff. From now on they will live in this palace and train here.
Shiebe: It's a pleasure to meet you I hope you we won't cause you any trouble
Zaneff nodded
Eros: Ah, so you can be nice. That's good to know.
Eros opened the door to reveal a massive room with a huge throne at the end of it. There were guards standing at each side armed with spears and giving a bow to Eros and his wives as the walked through the room on their red carpet.
Once he sat on the throne they lifted up their heads.
Eros: Alright. I am going to make an offer to the two of you. If you wish to reject it then you can but I would hope you wouldn't after I had made an announcement outside.
Shiebe: Go Ahead
Eros: Shiebe, Zaneff will the two of you stay at my palace for the next 7 years to train and live here. I will provide you with shelter and food and training. In the future there's going to be a big fight between the council and the Z-mon's. All members are seeking out prodigies around the world to train. When we first met I was just returning from a scouting trip but seeing the two of you..something told me that taking you under my wing will benefit the world. So what do you say once again you are eligible to refuse the offer.
It was an offer that Shiebe didn't really have to think about much. The same was probably the same for Zaneff. A palace with lots of food and you can sleep there plus direct training from one of the strongest beings in the world. Who would want to refuse that
Shiebe: Well if you see us as prodigies I guess I have no choice but to accept.
Zaneff: Yeah..me too..It's better than going home for now.
Eros smiled being glad that they accepted the offer. He knew that Zaneff would have accepted but Shiebe didn't seem to be too fond of him which worried him but it seemed like he was just prideful of himself.
Shiebe: But... Would you mind telling me more about Ruina. I still have my parents and I haven't heard anything about them since the attack.
Eros: Well it's as I said previously. A lot of people were kidnapped from the town, many buildings set in flames and your parents...are nowhere to be found. They definitely aren't at Ruina though that's for certain.
Shiebe: I see...
Shiebe felt a mix of emotions when it came to the situation back at home. He felt anger that they ruined his perfect life and kidnapped all those people.
He felt sadness that his parents and Luni are nowhere to be found but there was one feeling that he wanted to push away and that was apathy.
This emotion was only present due to his past life. He knew that they weren't his real parents, he knew that he wasn't their real newborn child. He was a fake.
So why would he care if they were gone it's not like he had a deep enough connection to care.
-Damn it. My head's killing me-
Zaneff: Shiebe...Shiebe...Shiebe
Shiebe: Huh?
Unable to focus due to the aching pain in his head he was unable to hear Zaneff calling his name.
Zaneff: Shiebe are you okay?
Shiebe: Y-yeah i'm okay
Eros: I'm sorry Shiebe. There is a current investigation on the mass kidnapping we will find your parents and all the citizens who have been captured.
Shiebe: Thank You.
Zaneff: I know we've only met today and that i'm a stranger but...If you want to talk you..could take to me.
Shiebe: Thanks Zaneff... hey Eros is there a place for me to rest.
Eros: Of course, my wives will show the two of you to your rooms. Training will start in a few weeks
Still feeling the pain of his headache Shiebe and Zaneff followed his wives to their rooms.
Once Shiebe entered the room he lay on the bed.
It was a big room with a king sized bed. The room was already furnished with a closet and a desk.
-My head. Shit. This life is so much more better than my old life. I should be able to forget about it. It's been six years since I've been here and yet I'm still tormented by my past. Heh, it seems like I can't escape from my parents even in this world. Fine then so be it. I won't let these thoughts bring me down. My whole life I lived in depression and isolation. No friends. No real family. Just me and my manga and it seemed like they were useful in this world. I will change my life around and live the life I always wanted.-
