What Makes Us Happy
Everyone in the Agni Empire has ran away as well.
Vargas, Jade, Leo, and Agmel had came into Marnes's domain, and eventually found Night while the were walking towards Zeffar's domain.
"Night, I heard. The Demons are attacking again. Do you know which one is first?" Leo asked.
Night did not know either. "We have to find somebody to find out whether or not a Demon has been spotted in the three worlds. Luckily, I have Anzu, Joshua, and Aster looking around their worlds and they will come back with new info. Anyway, I'm going to check the sky with Phoebe. Maybe another Demon is up there?"
Leo nodded. "Maybe. We can check together. Six eyes are better than four."
Night put on his gloves. "Grab on, we're going to fly!"
Phoebe and Night exited with Leo on Phoebe's back.
Nothing was found. Hopefully a Demon wasn't anywhere to be seen. "Phoebe, we should stick together in case a Demon tries to separate us."
Phoebe nodded, and the two, along with Leo, flew next to each other while Leo kept holding on.
A fist of sand punched Phoebe.
Leo turned into Phoebe and picked her up. The three of them eventually went back to the Abyssal Vortex.
Ren began to heal Phoebe, and Night went to Anzu.
Aki walked towards Agmel. "Today's the anniversary of her death, am I right? We should go to her grave in the Core of Gaia..."
Agmel kneeled. "I don't believe it's the right time to go there. I don't believe it's open right now, so we can't see her."
Drake wanted to know. "Who is this you're talking about? Was it the former Chronicler?"
Aki nodded. "She sacrificed herself to let us survive. We were in the Core of Gaia when this occurred. Her name was Cuphea. She hailed from the Agni Empire. She was a dryad, but she managed to get herself killed by trying to overcome her weakness to fire. I believe her death was the same day the Chronicle appeared in your room."
Drake held the Chronicle in his hands. "So you used to be with a Dryad? You were trying to rewrite the world, right? Was it a failure?"
Aki nodded. "Cuphea exploded herself before she could save herself. I was once told that the Demons always targeted the Chronicler. I believe it was the same for you and Phoena?"
Drake nodded. "Sukuroron managed to make me a victim of the Blackening."
Agmel kneeled. "Everything is still a mystery, isn't it? I still don't know how two humans like Soroth and I produced a Shapeshifter like Leo, but I don't care in finding out anymore."
Haru and Aster were eating dinner in the cafeteria of Marnes's domain, and sat silently eating their noodles.
"Haru, the war doesn't seem to ever reach its end. I wonder if this is the Final Strike?" Aster asked, not knowing what to do now.
Haru asked Aster to turn around. She pulled out a small box and got on her knee.
"Aster, you can turn around now."
Aster turned around, and saw Haru on the ground.
"Aster, will you make me the happiest handicapped woman in the Abyssal Vortex and be my husband?"
Aster blushed, and put his hand to his mouth. "Yes, Haru. Yes!"
After some time, Haru managed to put the ring on Aster's finger.
Night and Yuuri were prepared to go to Grand Gaia. "Yuuri, have you seen my eyepatch? We still need to get some more equipment from Randall, and if people know that I was turned, my parents and I, as well as everybody else, will be hunted down."
Yuuri held up Night's eyepatch. "You mean his? And also, shouldn't you change? Everybody there probably knows you never dressed in royal attire."
Night went back to put on a disguise, a black kimono with moon embroidery, and then he put his hair over his eyepatch. He decided to change his gloves as well to dark latex gloves.
Night
and Yuuri returned to Grand Gaia and arrived in the Imperial Capital Randall.
People kept looking at Night.
"Hey, isn't that the first prince of the Sama Kingdom?"
"Isn't there rumors and sightings of him and an Ultima at the same time?"
"I wonder what him and that man want?"
"Why is he dressed so fancy?"
Night ignored the whispers he heard. "Yuuri, we need to get training equipment so we can stay strong and keep getting stronger. Make sure to get some while I go buy some food."
Yuuri nodded, and the two parted ways.
Night went to the market. He went to get some meat and some vegetables. He began to get some water before he was approached by two intimidating men.
"We heard rumors about you. We need to make sure. Are you an Alpha AND an Ultima?"
Night said nothing but no.
"We were not told what to do if he tries to hide it," said the younger of the two. "Take him," the older whispered in response.
Night paid for everything and brought everything to the Abyssal Vortex. He then left to meet up with Yuuri.
Night was then tackled by the two men he ran into at the market. His hands were tied, and then they dragged him to the Akras Summoners' Hall's Summoner Research Lab.
"So, first prince. I heard rumors about you. Are they true?"
Night nodded. There was no way to get out of this situation if he tried.
"Let go of him. I want to have some fun with him."
A surprisingly young boy came out of the darkness.
