We sent a gardener to come and pick you, you can bring two guests with you.

We looking for your participation.

P.S: you need to hand this letter to the gardener so he know you are our guest.'

"Ilua, Ilya. I need to talk to Nuer and Kuoni, can you go and call the ? I know this type of hand writing at the moment i look at i look at it, the only one who have these kind of hand writing is the glorious poet - Luxon Caelum."

"You know him ?"

"He warned me about my action before and said if i can't control my emotion they would take proper action."

"Proper action ?"

"They want to erase my existance and choose a new author so you can say our relationship isn't bright. How about Gold, he is a poet and a writer and Kuoni since magic can be considered as art, but the hard part is your confession of being an author."

"I thought about that but if i want to pass down the quill then i should done this, sooner or later. Don't worry Or, i won't let them know about your secret."

"Don't worry about me, i have lived long enough so i am not afraid of death or anything like that, so don't worry about my death, you should enjoy your life."

"Well technically you can't die or be killed, your punishment is to trap in that vessal and watching the world you called imperfect for eternal. No harsh feeling for you."

"No i understand but seem like your punishment doesn't work really effective."

"It don't need to be effective, it just need to be done. My judgement doesn't need to be effective because i only brought judgement over authors, after everything finish we are just acquaintance."

"Alright then, since i also told Nuer and Kuoni to come and they are your well how should i put the right word, friend, close friend so you should start with them."

As Yeon finish, Ilya and Ilua open the door for Neur and Kuoni to step walk in. Both of them is putting on their best outfit and since Niun staying with Neur in Lumeria so they staying in the palace. Rather say a palace, it much more like an apartment, every room is large so there is nothing to worry about, for Kuoni, he can use magic to let him transport to any location on the world. In the room is Kuoni, Neur, Niun, Yeon, Yhaovi, Gold and Quill ( currently used the name Kerrius ), the meeting is about the education system of the northern area.

"My suggestion is basic communication since the new era is coming, everyone is connected so basic communication is necessary, you can't just depend on Niun to do the talking."

"And why not ?"

"To put that much responsibility on a child, i am not saying you are a bad father but sometime there is something in life you just have to do it yourself. Beside, learning is not that really hard at least i can say it is easier than the abyss war."

The conversation is depend on Niun because Neur's knowledge of basic conversation is not really great and Neur himself know that. For Niun, he loves his father but he can't express the emotion of Nuer through his voice, sometime people have to speak for themselve. So Neur agree with the education and Niun is the one who taught him about the necessary knowledge.

"That should take care the problem about the education of the north so the next thing we need to discuss, Yhaovi."

"..."

"Do you want me to talk or do you want to speak on your own will. You have to do this sooner or later."

"What is it teacher ?"

"You can tell us anything ?"

"Anything you say ? This secret i told you can make everyone of you hate me and want to put me on public execution, strip me out the title of priest, even banish from this world but despite all of that... I am the author."

"Is that the truth ?"

"My name is Yhaovi Arcarium - The Painter of Dream."

The atmosphere in the room turned grey and everything suddenly lose color, everything can be reflect on Niun, Nuer and Kuoni and Yhaovi knows all of it. Anger, betrayed and despair, nothing is much more painful than knowing nothing and trust the one you should hate but what reflect on Kuoni is different. 

"I have a lot of hatred for Or but you are not Or, you are still my teacher and you sacrifice a lot for us. If you want to destroy this world then it should be gone a long time ago so what is your purpose ?"

"You believe him?"

"He taught me his magic and he help everyone, this world still belong to Or but he willing to help us. That is enough for me to believe Neur."

"Father, i don't think he another Or, afterall, he did help our world and he help our tribe too and even the Chief of Beast village trust him. So there should be any other reason not to trust him."

"Risk ourselves is really dangerous and i promise to myself let no one can hurt you..."

"I will leave this world if everyone not accept me but the moment i left, i will protect this world as an author not a priest anymore longer, all of the emotion for this world will remain neutral as all other world."

"So what is your first purpose again ?"

"To look for the next author who can take my responsibility when i am ready to sleep."

"To sleep ?"

"The author can be considered as a salary man for the duty of creating worlds and maintain the balance of every worlds. After a few hundred years the current author will fell asleep and another author will took this position. After the ninth circle, the first author will be awakened, the ninth author will be the last author but since Or is striped from the status so i am the third."

The tension rising maybe because everyone in this world think Or is the first author but the fact it isn't, after all, Yhaovi have intention in choosing Kuoni as the next author so he will have to know this eventually but if Kuoni denide the position Quill is watching them and erase their memories later. If they denide Yhaovi then the last solution is protect every world as an author and seek the aid of Greenwich alone. After that Yhaovi will let Quill decide the next author randomly and finish his duty, if that author causing chaos then Quill will pass judgement and find another author.

"So who are you going to choose to become that figure ?"

"You, you will be the next author, your knowledge, your way in taking care of every problem. Your decision is depend on both of you, to shape the future, to change this world and to inherit my position as the next author. But if you denide then nothing will happen."

"Then what will happen to you ?"

"After this incident end, i will fell into the slumber and i will awake when my time came, the next author will be chosen by Kerrius, if he became someone like Or or abuse the power of the author then Kerrius will pass his judgement and the other will be chosen. This circle will end when the ninth author is chosen."

"To prevent this my author i have decided, you can't fell asleep if the inheritor isn't founded. We can't risk to find another Or, if Kuoni, Niun and Nuer denide you then i will take you to another world. And as a servant, if this world denide you then i will protect you, your precious dream."

The world become colder, Kuoni fix his glass the black tome open the same moment as the white tome. Reading the tome not only help Kuoni know any new knowledge, they only can help Kuoni thinks and decide his decision, inside him is anger and the feeling of being betrayed but he know Kuoni doesn't have fault. Blaming him doesn't help with the fact this world is saved by him.

"I agree but what will happen to my brother Musouka ?"

"I don't say you have to leave your brother, you are just an apprentice, the moment you are a proper author you can speak to your brother. During the time you stay as an apprentice you can quit if you want to."

"Alright, i will become your apprentice for the position of an author but keep my brother out of this, he shouldn't know this."

"So will you accept me Niun and Neur ?"

"Father ?"

"Fine. I can't argue with my son, i am more on the brawn side while my son is the one who does all the decision."

"Then it is decided, this is our secret."

"And this is the first task of your as an apprentice, you will attend this ball with me. You have been quiet for a while now Gold."

"I already guess this since the first time we met, my talent is to see other people power inside them and Hugo let me know anything he can see in their mind. The thought alone is beautiful and powerful enough to create rules and idea can destroy everything."

Gold power is shown to be as powerful as the garden, maybe another magic about creating fantasy, this could be even more powerful than Kuoni but something about Gold make Yhaovi feel unsettling. But afterall they will go with him just for five hours so Yeon can take care of any matter.

"If anything sent to me just leave them on the desk Yeon."

"Don't worry."
