"You have finally returned. How was the expedition this time?" The pleasant voice of a beautiful woman rang across the brightly lit room. She had dark long hair and black eyes with a well sculptured face. The horns present on her head did nothing to mask her beauty but rather further emphasizing it. She wore a white colored top with was neatly tucked into a thick pair of trousers that covered her legs fully. Long combat boots kept her feet hidden and gave her a soldierly vibe. Her simple attire looked expensive on her, showcasing her lovely curves.
"Yes sister. I came across something interesting." The thick and tall frame of the speaker, coupled with the friendly smile on his face made for a comical sight. His hair and eyes matching his sister's, Kahn walked towards her and gave her a hug.
"You're fifteen now and in the army. When are you going to stop wanting a cuddle? Your men may very well lose respect for you if they see you like this." Kahn's sister had a playful smile on her face as she teased her little brother.
"They aren't here are they? Besides, who cares what they think? They know me well enough to know that a round of intensive pummeling awaits anyone who disrespects my family." Kahn waved his fist around as if to demonstrate what he was going to do to whomever pissed him off.
"Enough of the foolery. Let us go to my room so we can really talk." Kahn's sister giggled slightly as she peeled her brother off her.
"Alright. Oh and by the way I have a question for you. Where is Father? I can't seem to feel his presence." Kahn asked on their short walk to his sister's room.
"Your bloodline glow is very impressive indeed. Father is not around at the moment. He left a few days ago to see the Celestial Emperor." Kahn's sister had a carefree expression on her face when she mentioned the Celestial Emperor.
"The Celestial Emperor huh. I am curious though? What are you doing here? I was under the assumption that you had been assigned a new mission." They had finally reached their destination and Kahn comfortably occupied the only couch in the room.
His sister didn't seem to mind. She kicked off her boots and plumped herself wholly onto her large bed as she replied, "Finished with that. I returned a few days ago. I was just about done with training when you walked in."
"You really are worthy of your name nickname Rosa. Finishing an A class mission so quickly." Kahn did not seem too surprised by Rosa's words. It wasn't because he had blind faith in his family. He was so confident because he knew what his sister was capable of. She was just seven years older than him, but she had the strength of a Heaven Realm expert. Even for Greater Celestials, that was a difficult achievement. Only a few of her peers could boast of such strength. Her speed of improvement and impressive combat power had earned her the title, "Meteor". It was a name given based on the speed and destruction of a meteor crashing onto a planet.
"You're one to talk. Even at your age, I didn't have such strength. Peak of Profound Realm at such a young age. You're definitely the most talented person in the Universe. I don't care what others say about Max. There's no way he's ever catching up to you."
Kahn had a wry smile on his face listening to Rosa speak. For as long as he could remember, his sister had always believed in him. Even before he had started training, she believed he would become the best. His father had told him what his sister had said when he was born, "He is definitely going to be the strongest Celestial- no, person- in the Universe!"
Her blind faith in him was a major driving force for his improvements. He did not want to let her down. Though this time, he had come across someone far more talented.
"If it was a few days ago, there is no way I would have disagreed with you. This time, I have to object."
"Oh? Does this have to do with the 'interesting' thing you came across?" Rosa was a sharp witted woman. Her brain quickly took her back to the words her brother had spoken when he walked into her in the hallway.
"Indeed. I came across a young boy who didn't look older than 11. His strength was already in the latter stages of the Profound Realm. One of the sensors on my team placed his strength at the seventh level of the Profound Realm."
"That's impossible. There is absolutely no way such a child exists! How can such a Celestial exist?" Rosa had a look of disbelief on her gorgeous face. And who could blame her. Even Kahn, a decorated genius of the Greater Celestials, was only in the mid-stages of the Above-Mortal realm when he was ten. It was difficult to believe there was someone possessing talent that far outstripped that of a Celestial race prodigy.
"He isn't a Celestial." Kahn immediately corrected his sister, seeming to care little for the kind of shock this new information would bring her.
"What?! Let me get this straight. A genius of another race is here on our planet?" Rosa gently massaged her temples, rubbing her horns in the process.
"Yes. But that isn't the most intriguing part of the story."
"What could possibly be more shocking?" Rosa's eyebrows twitched as she cast her gaze to Kahn.
"I lost to him. Not just I, but Max lost as well."
"What?!!!" This time, Rosa's exclamation was so loud Kahn had to cover his ears. It was a good thing the room was sound proof, or all the servants in the house would be startled by her shout. Rosa was someone who rarely lost her cool. Her reaction to the news was enough to display how unbelievable it was. Celestials had combat strength exceeding most of the races. Greater Celestials were even better. But now she was hearing her brother speak of a child who did not only have greater talent, but insane combat power.
"Oh and it happened when we fought against him together- with the entire platoon included. His combat power was insane. Almost as if he was built for battle."
"So how are you still here? Don't tell me he didn't know how to kill off members of the Celestial race." Rosa had finally calmed down. There was no way she was going to believe an inhabitant of the planet did not know how to kill those who resided in it.
"He did. He let us go and said he wanted to be friends with us. It will sure be fun to see him again."
Rosa calmly listened to her brother and said, "Where'd he go?"
"Not sure. He used a teleportation circle. Whoever he is, he must have a very impressive background."
Kahn did not think for a second that his new friend wasn't an inhabitant of this planet. Although the Celestials were a relatively smaller race, their planet was a large one. To him, this mystery boy had teleported to a more reclusive region.
"Indeed. Anyone who uses a teleportation circle is no commoner. Did he tell you his name?" Rosa's shock had long since dissipated, leaving curiosity in its departure.
"Yes, he did. His name is Mane."
