It was the day appointed for departure into the SSS DUNGEON, hours came by with sun slamming the windows of everyone rooms letting them know it was time for their movement.
SNOW and his assigned team had stood by the door bidding farewells to the left over members after enjoying their morning breakfast that lasted about an hour due to their gist.
SNOW smiled to his sister and pat her head before leaving but had gotten a punch to the stomach which disrupt his sense of reasoning for a while on the basis of him having an affair with the president.
'Perverted brother'
She said with a stern reaction while pouting all the same trying to warn his brother of his actions in her own kind of sister way.
'Stay safe sis, i will be back as soon as i clear the dungeon'
'Dont worry big bro, we will keep sis safe while you are gone'
A female voice had said, she was among the hunters left behind and she was quite attractive as well as her short curly hair made her stand out among those in the house, she was an SS-RANK HUNTER left behind to protect the guild. To the look of her appearance you could say she is 19 years, as snow and white had found her in an alley located in an abandoned region of ROSE CITY after dungeon that had spawned and had destroyed most of it surroundings with it citizens evacuated due to the fact that there could be a dungeon brake.
'Very well NATASHA, keep an eye on her for me okay'
'Sure thing bro'
She said with a big smile as snow and the rest waved before vanishing into thin air.
NATASHA and the rest had excused themselves while walking away to the living room to bully LUCAS, on the other hand WHITE had shut the door behind her and walked to meet up with the PRESIDENT .
MICHELLE had walked away as to give a private time to WHITE and the PRESIDENT who had sat on one of the chair around the dinning table.
Scrubbing it wooden feet to the floor made the chair scream with a screech before properly been placed and have it head seated on brutally by WHITE who was quite not in a pleasant mood
'So what did you tell my brother that made him screw you so hard?'
WHITE said feeling nonchalantly and carefree as she had placed her legs on the other chair next to her and lean on the table with swag while making sure the PRESIDENT who was at the other side had gained her attention.
As if having a quarrel, sloppy sound made by the lips to the coffee could be head as the PRESIDENT had taken a sip off of her coffee before letting it cup down gently in both her hand
'For a kid, you are quite vulgar'
'Well thats who i am, i am quite aggressive with words when i want to be'
WHITE said before stretching her hand forward towards the basket of fruit to pick up an apple
'So what exactly did you say to him? Or would you rather make me guess?'
'Please amuse me'
The PRESIDENT had sat facing WHITE with a smile as if to tell WHITE to try guessing
'So let say you spoke to my brother, it would not really be about thanking him for saving your life few days ago...'
A snap from a bite could be heard with few munch sound that came after leaving the watery mouth of WHITE to savour the juicy fluid from the bitten apple that mixed well with it body and saliva as she rolled her hand in ecstasy.
'But because you needed to secure a place for yourself in the future by offering to support him and his plans'
She dropped a leg and tapped on the table with just a finger
'But what would make him accept your offer?'
'You tell me'
The PRESIDENT smiled and looked away
'Could it be you are trying to use my brother to pay them back?'
The PRESIDENT felt sad for some reason but her face was casual, she stared at her coffee before staring at WHITE.
'You are a smart girl, half of what you said are right, but the truth is, i really do want to help you guys, I understand the basics and with my help it would be easier to achieve that goal'
'Then what is your gain if not revenge?'
WHITE asked as she was curious to to know the missing puzzle to her analysis
'You already know, i asked SNOW out, and as his girlfriend i am willing to support him with every resources at my disposal'
She said as she gestured trying to make WHITE understand her explanation
'For the past few days i have been here, i get to finally understand something if not everything that something big is coming, and supporting you guys to pass through this is all i can do to thank your brother for saving my life and that of MICHELLE'
WHITE feeling disappointed sighed and soon took another bite that felt louder than the first, the PRESIDENT had halted the rest of her statement as she had figured out what she had said want the answer that was required
Munching enough to a certain point finally gave her mouth the breathing space to speak with little left over in her mouth.
'The first was IRIS and now YOU? What in the hell did you tell him that made him accept you as his girlfriend?'
'O-oh, that'
The president flustered and became tensed with a red face, the question had hit home so hard it left it trademark of embarrassment all over her cute long face with lips as pink as a cherry blossom petal been licked over by her tongue to wet it surface while setting the mood for explanation.
'I am not getting any younger and I needed to know what it felt like'
Snow giggled and like someone been tickled she let out uncontrollable laughter as if to make fun of the PRESIDENT
'C'mon, it isn't funny '
'Oh p-please, i-i just cant h-have enough of everyone of you'
WHITE spoke in the middle of her laughter while referring to IRIS, SNOW and WHITE. Laughing her fill had set her in a good mood which left a smile on her face for a while.
'Thank you, i have began to worry about him for sometime now you see'
'Why so?'
WHITE stared at the PRESIDENT and felt she was trusted enough to say everything to her
'I am sure you know of ORLEANS'
'Well of course, the KINGDOM of ORLEANS is a sacred place that coexist with monsters and had strict rules that must be abided to'
The president said nonchalantly before picking up the cup of coffee ones more
'I heard they have been fighting against other monsters lately and are lacking in some ways that has to do with the throne been empty'
She said and took one last sip beforw emptying the cup
'Would you believe me if i told you i am the princess of ORLEANS and my brother is the crown prince of ORLEANS?'
The president had splash out what she had drank from shock and surprise, as if being paused for few seconds the PRESIDENT froze to gather her thoughts before staring at WHITE in a manner as if to say "you are joking right"
'Please dont joke with me, the last i heard the queen to the throne died 13 years ago and there havent been anyone that could bare the weight of the crown ever since then'
She said as if to brush off what white had said as nonsense
'Yes, the queen was my mother, she died after birth, and my brother is going to be crowned the next he visits ORLEANS '
'That doesn't make any sense, if you two are what you claim then why suffer this much when you could have lived the life you could have wanted'
She asked out of curiosity knowing fully well matters related to ORLEANS arent taken for granted. ORLEANS KINGDOM have the fighting power of 10 city combined as one and still surpass that, it was one of the reasons the UNITED HUNTER ASSOCIATION agreed to never go against the ORLEANS and swore not to cross path with them.
'My dad has a way of keeping things secret you see, as at the time we thought AURORA had died, our father took us to ORLEANS and made sure we had our memories of who we were sealed away'
WHITE said before sitting properly and speaking in a serious manner
'If so how are you able to remember this?'
'Well my brother was to remember everything when he cames of age since we are somewhat link and he didn't, but making contact with AURORA ones again unlocked some of his sealed memories which gave me access to all of mine'
'What does that mean'
WHITE had stared at the PRESIDENT feeling scared of something.
'My birthday is around the corner, and i am scared my brother would want to make AURORA remember who she really is before we return to ORLEANS after my birthday'
'Sooo? You are worried something terrible would happen?'
The president said while staring at WHITE
'Yes, and aside from that i am worried everyone in the GUILD would believe we had abandoned them while we are gone'
'Soo? you want me to supervise them till?'
The PRESIDENT asked feeling a bit of curiosity
'I want you to tell them this when the time comes, and if we survive this crisis i would want them to be patient for about 5 years or thereabout to set things right in ORLEANS before our return'
She said and the PRESIDENT stood up while pushing the chair backward with her back kneel that made the chair scream with loud screak
'I know you both have plans that will help at this crisis, but until tthen i shall visit you aunt, it was a request by snow, and i shall make contact with few people that will support at that time'
She walked away while heading to the plate washer to drop off her cup
'Give them my contact just in case'
'Thank you'
WHITE said nonchalantly but was happy things would be fine with her by their side.
'So what exactly is the HUNT?'
The PRESIDENT asked as she tried to understand it better.
'Well, the HUNT is just a project whereby we have every member of the guild fight of monsters without the support of any other member'
'You mean having them solo a raid that equivalent to something a team party would do?'
The PRESIDENT replied in surprised while leaning her ass by the plate washer and staring at WHITE
'Exactly, in doing so it will boost their agility, strength and defense and as well heighten their understanding with what they are capable of and what they are not'
'That doesnt make sense'
The PRESIDENT said as she knew there was more to it
'Yes, but it would sound impossible and unimaginable, but in reality, we want them to kill DUNGEON bosses that are 10 times stronger than them in other to inherit their powers'
WHITE said and smiled cutely
'That sound like trash, but seeing how you and your brother does something strange I believe thats explainable'
'You are easy to reason with, but nobody knows about this and when the time comes i would like you to explain it to them'
WHITE stood and stared at the PRESIDENT one last time
'I should start preparing a place to relocate the orphanage home since it wont be safe for them either from now on'
WHITE said and stare at the PRESIDENT with a smile
'Oh please take care of yourself during your journey '
WHITE said before walking away with a smile
'Sure i will, i just hope i dont miss your birthday '
'Yea right'
The PRESIDENT had smiled as she was a bit happy to finally understand some of the missing puzzles of MR PARKER secret
*****
Minutes after SNOW and the rest left, they had appeared in the middle of an alley far from the main city located at the extreme end of section D.
Feeling confused they stared around to find nothing, with SNOW at their front they decided to hold their backpack with tight grip while staring at snow who just stood and stare upward as if looking at something.
SNOW bent down and offer a stone each to LIN and RIN, they collected it but felt confused as to why
'First person to throw gets a lollipop...'
Not letting snow finish his statement a swish noise had given snow the notice of RIN and LIN who had instantly swung their hand letting go of the stone in the process as it was launch straight like a projectile
To everyone surprise the stones vanished without ever hitting the floor. They all knew well what that had meant, even thought they cant see it, they could tell by the disappearance of the stone that there was a gate in that direction.
But to SNOW, the gate appearance was like that of a GREEN style gateway with carvings that gave it it meaning and beauty.
Patting LIN and RIN by the head they both smiled happily while receiving unwrapped lollipop each from SNOW.
'If there is gate up ahead, why cant we see it?'
'Thats because it is an SSS gate that leads to a different world'
IRIS had answered to BLADE question, ESMIL and MICHAEL had stood with surprise as to how IRIS came to know of such value information
'Okay guys, let move it'
SNOW said to make them focus more on the gate rather than discuss as he took the lead with RIN AND LIN by his side while they both held him by his hands at each side.
Walking through the barrier that felt like having ones hand wrapped with sticky gum that when pulled off it never leaves traces behind made them feel chilly from the sudden wind that blew pass them.
They all stood speechless by the arrangement of the entrance that presented stairway with chess board like tiles of Gold and Black colours.
Staring at the extreme end of the staircase was a brilliant light that slap their eyes hard with it rays which forced them to use their hands to create a shade above their face as if to gain proper view at the figure that suddenly presented itself at the peak.
Minutes after staring they realize there was no one and decided to follow snow who had led the way with RIN and LIN holding the side of his white coat.
As if to say what the hell? They all stood speechlessly at the top end of the stairs that disappeared afterwards leaving their back all covered in sand.
They staggered at the beautiful scenario that presented itself. Before them lies floating island that could be seen from far distant while their current location could be described as a desert, the so called sun wasnt an actual sun as it reflection wasnt bright enough to cover up the view of the two looking object in the sky that looks like moon.
What flew them by were group of human like figure that had wings, to their surprise the group of humans had flown towards the floating island in the far distant that could take weeks to approach.
'I guess we made it to the AMODEUS WORLD instead'
SNOW had said and with his words, everyone had focus their attention at him after minutes of appreciating the views around.
SNOW knew it was time to explain but he need to make sure safety comes first and he would try to make sure his team doesnt attack first, since this isnt any normal DUNGEON.
Afterall this field type of DUNGEON isnt anything compare to that of SS DUNGEON.
'What do you mean?'
'Well unlike the field type of DUNGEON we usually stumble upon, this type of field dungeon is different, in a sense think of it like our world'
SNOW had answered to MICHAEL who was curious but ultimately not naive.
'Do you mean that this is like Earth but habitated by other species?'
'Exactly, which is why for now i will ask you all to do nothing unless i say so'
SNOW cautioned and as if their luck had ran out, 5 flying human like figure had appear out of the blue, glaring at SNOW and his team they flew down majestically.
Unlike the one that had full plated body armour, the rest had armour that could make someone identify them as a knight, majority of them consist of of females as their leader was the one in a heavy looking plated armour, their gold like hair flare upward in dazzling waves. Their leader had quite a unique figure even with her full body armour.
Her wings sprouted from her waist and were 4 in numbers, behind her were two females and 2 males with single pair of wings which sprouted from their waist as well.
'Humans? Art though come to trespass thy might in our land?'
SNOW stood with RIN and LIN hiding behind him as both were scared at them, ESMIL, BLADE and MICHAEL had taken to an action pose or more or less a defence one, with IRIS reminding them of their actions with a glare.
'That depend on what you mean'
SNOW said cutely with a smile before they finally made their stop, their legs never.met with the sand in short it, they just hovered above it. Their leader walked forward with every step made by her was supported with a glass like magic.
She stood and stare calmly at SNOW before making her followers ease their mind.
'Very well human, what art thou called'
'SNOW, SNOW VIGRAM EST WEINSTEIN in full but everyone calls me SNOW WEINSTEIN'
they all stood in shock and speechless, as if to know who he was they all gaze with excitement but were curios of proof of identity
'Did you say VIGRAM?'
'Yes, the name belongs to my mother by the way, i only use it when it something official'
SNOW said casually with smiles on his face as he tried not to agro them by mistake.
'Could your mother name be QUEEN SILVETH VIGRAM EST WEINSTEIN?'
'Why do you know my mothers name?'
SNOW asked feeling curious but to his surprised they all bowed, their gold hair had taken back the normal form of a normal hair, they all had white hair that were beautiful, the males had curly white hairs and the female had curly white hair as well, two of the females hair were short but their leaders hair was long enough to almost pass her butt.
'Welcome home, your highness'
They all said in unison leaving SNOW and everyone dumbfounded, to SNOW only those in ORLEANS treat him this way, but what in goodness name is going on for bunch of strangers to treat him like how people in ORLEANS treat him, he stood while lost in thoughts.
