"I didn't expect it to be like that." Said Viyani while rubbing her temples.

"It's alright milady, none of us have expected it." Said the butler who 'escorted' Brando and his team to Emperor Amir and the Empress.

"I thought we would be the one surprising them with our prowess. Instead, we were the one shock by their ridiculous performance."

"Even the Emperor and Empress was shocked at what they heard."

"That is concerning though." Said the butler.

"It is." Said Viyani with a sigh.

Indeed, they were truly shocked at what had transpired during those moments.

They called that skill as the mirror plane. And it is often used when hiding certain important cities or locations for the United Elven Empire.

More so, it becomes an even more important of an asset during wartime.

Using this skill could just implant terror and mass confusion on their enemies. Making them easy prey for their people to take them down one by one.

However, there is an significant off side for repeated usage in quick succession.

The amount of spiritual energy that would be needed for quick successive uses would double from that of the previous usage.

This in turn gives the caster a huge toll not just mentally, but also physically, as spirit energy continouesly flows throughout the user's body in high volumes.

And through this, the 'concerning' part comes in.

During those moments, it was seen that Brando seemed to have been looking around.

A few moments after that, he then began to speak as if he knew about the skill long ago.

Something he knew for years, something told to him ever since he was young.

This even more evident when he smiled while saying those words of his.

It was simply the smile of absolute confidence.

Just by remembering it, Viyani simply couldn't help but continouesly get surprised by how he knew about it. At the same time, she couldn't help but grow undeniably concerned about it.

Simply because, if he knew the concepts of it, then he surely would have known it's off side as well.

"I don't understand it though."

Viyani then looked at the butler, seeing as he broke the silence they were having while being in their own deep dive of thoughts.

"In our rich history, there were 5 Great Elven empires spread across the southwestern continent."

"Unlike the United Elven Empire of today, the 5 Great Elven Empires of the past were divided."

"The political opinions and differences at that time were not of the best results. Each Empire had different beliefs, different ethnics, and many others."

"Due to that, although trade routes are done in, actual connections were not. And who knows what could have happened when war breaks out."

"However, before any wars happened, The great invasion came."

The butler then looked at Viyani, with an expression of 'please continue' written on his face.

Seeing this, Viyani then gazed at the estate's right manor garden below and did as what the butler has requested.

"Creatures of unknown origins suddenly appeared. These creatures were destructive, leaving death wherever they go."

"The first thoughts on these creatures were, they were demons. However, they weren't."

"Classifications of the demons and these creatures were entirely different. They were faster than demons, not completely stronger than demons but they don't dilly dally analyzing their enemies. Once on sight, they kill."

"I remember being told, that these creatures were made to kill. Being classified as the ultimate assassins."

"Three years have gone ever since the first sightings of these creatures. News of undeniable truth came."

"Eclsemita, the Empire that has been hailed as having the most strongest war potential, fell, in a single night."

"By the time troops from other Empires came, Eclsemita have already fallen."

"A few more months gone by after that, Proklima, the Empire second to Eclsemita, fell. Same as before, a single night was all it took."

"After Proklima fell, fear have already enveloped the rest of the Elven race on the south western continent.

"And then, that person came--."

"Yeah, that person came." Said the butler as he cut of Viyani's words.

Seeing such an action, Viyani then stopped talking. Instead, she then observed as the butler stared at the blue skies above.

"Still divided, the remaining three empires were at a lost at what to do during those moments. Their citizens were enveloped in fear, revolts are done, moral was low..."

"If it were to be compared to now, it would then be simply called through one word. Chaos."

"Everyone during those times were reaching a their very own tipping points. Few more, then the system at that time would have been broken."

"However, like out of thin air, that young elven man came."

"No one knows where he came from. His origins, completely unknown."

"But no cared about his origins nor identity during those times."

"Ever since his appearance, he began helping people. Running to those that is in need. Sooner or later, people began following him."

"Be it citizens, knights, soldiers, rogues... They all followed him."

"Sooner or later, the people that followed him became a force to be reckoned with. He gave his teachings, knowledge, wisdom, and many more on what he had to offer."

"He gave his knowledge on military combat arts, making the knights stronger in their fights. He gave his knowledge in agriculture, arts, architecture, and many others. Enabling even the unknowledgeable about such things, be knowledgeable about it."

"Time passed, he then told the people where he came from. To which was what he said that, 'he came from a far away place. A place farther than all the continents in the world'."

"In that place, he was a junior apprentice. A student from the senior masters there. He always listened to what the seniors would do and say. Giving him insights on many things."

"Their works, their trials in their creations, many other wondrous things."

"All of those however, didn't seem to outshine the two things he has left behind for the present elves to use in their problems for the future."

"One is the mirror plane. Where he learned it from three masters that made it under all cooperation."

"Those master's name were Master Strominger, Master Yau, and Master Zaslow."

"Those three masters are the Masters he idolizes the most. With their creation, findings on a place called mirror dimension have went through bounds for more and new findings, making them closer to seeing something out of the ordinary."

"Through such findings. The torus is found and the mirror plane is created."

"Now with the mirror plane. He then made multiple new fortresses, cities, and what he calls 'refugee towns'."

"Of course, with such growth. This wasn't left unnoticed by the creatures. Sooner or later, they began attacking these places."

"However, with the mirror plane being used, losses were minimal, and the creatures, immediately eliminated."

"Thinking for something to combat these creatures without putting lives on the line, he then left one more thing for the people to use."

"So, he then told the people one more master from such a far away place, that, that master created something for absolute dominance on combat

"And that was something he called, Fisica Nucleare Magica. Which was something even he himself fears."

"Sooner or later, with Fisica Nucleare Magica, he created something called 'non emette diffusione nucleare bomba'."

"It was something unimaginable. Something no person ever thought to have been possible."

"There were rumours during those times, that spirits of different kinds argued of such a thing being used for it has been said to bring absolute destruction to everything."

"Some agreed, some haven't."

"In the end, no decision for it's creation has been made."

"That was until. The remaining three Empires fell."

"All survivors from the ruined Empires, ran towards the fortresses and cities and towns created by that person."

"Due to this, a bypass to the mirror plane has been created and huge losses were induced."

"Having such a predicament happen, despite the disagreements. The decision was made.

"The said Nucleare Bomba was made and were immediately used. Then, that's when huge victories started to happen."

"It destroyed anything in its wake, that includes the creatures. They were powerless against it. Days passed, and most of the lands taken by those creatures have then been retrieved."

"Few more days have passed, call of victory and reclamation has been done. And that has been then ever since the greatest joy everyone felt during those times."

"After all of those events, the young elven man then disappeared. But before he disappeared, he left a message."

"I have already talked to the spirits, and both leading spirits, Moon and light, have agreed. Non emette diffusione nucleare bomba, has been now categorized as a forbidden spirit spell. I beg you all to only use it in your truest dearest needs when true disaster strikes. Disobey this, then goodluck."

As the butler stopped talking, a cool breeze then passed by them.

"How long has it been ever since that time?" Asked Viyani.

"Don't know... 2000.. 3000... It's buried in history for a very long time now." Replied the butler.

After the butler said this, silence then came once more.

Some moments passed, Viyani then broke the silence that was enveloping them.

"When I was little... I use to think that those stories told by elders are no more than fantasies. I never expected that when I grow up, all of those would have been true."

"More so now... I have a very unsettling feeling... Something that could be... Unrealistic."

"Haha, so you feel it to milady."

"Mhmm. Yes I do. For years, even with hyuman intervention. Not one has been able to grasp the mirror plane concept... Until now."

"Gilga, I know your a veteran and your already in your retirement days. But I beg you."

Hearing what Viyani said, the butler, no, Gilga, smiled.

"Of course milady. Although, can you call my old partner with me?"

"Of course. In the military, both of you have been outstanding. I would call your partner, Mesh, as per your request."

"Deep thanks to milady." Said Gilga as he bowed.

While both Viyani and Gilga were conversing, quick footsteps were heard coming towards them.

Noticing this, both Gilga and Viyani then looked towards the source of those footsteps.

There, they saw an elevn wooman in a hood running towards them.

"City lord, hyumans from the Triam Empire have come!"
