News of that dreadful attack spread all over the Alvan Empire, angering both Faeren folk and Alvans against the hatefilled twilight worshippers.
Due to this small incident, a fight ensued, slowly turning to another war, many of the former adventurers joined in the war effort as it was ones more put into action with skirmishes on all sides in the whole continent of Lunaria.
Banding together to suppress their foes in this new war, this time it is joined together by the races from the different kingdoms surrounding the continent and their soldiers who are adamant in defending their homes, from the Dwargons Hall, Gnobbeish Thinkerers, Ganesha Beastians, Druidano Forest Keepers, and Alvan Solari assembles the might of their armies.
For once again the Empire of mythical creatures leads their crusade against the forces from the Under dark.
Meanwhile, because of that lethal ambush, Arvin has been training his regal energies nonstop with the help of a High Alvan Mage named Mercer from the Tel' Quesir Regal Magistrate, by the order of Gal Gwyer Ardran for the future of this continent . . .
*
Magical creatures roamed around the open dukedom of Faerwood while formations of runes and protection talismans surrounded its towering edifices made of wood.
White foxes, Violet birds, and enchanted lizards happily ate their fill from the people's kindness with their unbelievable voracity. and as they did their attention is momentarily directed towards a high amount of regal energy that is accumulating towards a single point within the small village.
These intelligible mammalians became curious in its sudden fluctuations, urging them to come forth and check the disturbance in the area, yet before they could do so
That same Regal Power started to form a slight trembling in the ground startling everyone near the vicinity.
And as this happens, the terrain starts to shift as space in reality cracked from its prowess encompassing everything within fifty meters.
Causing most of the untamed wilderness to back away from the Regal Magician casting such Powerful psionic spell.
Trees moved about, the earth begins to split or extend, while the paved roads in the kingdom became stretched as mounds raised upwards transforming the environment completely to the caster's desire.
Suddenly, that change in the environment came to a halt as the regal energy became halved from its evoker's originals amount.
Then the sky darkened as two figures blotted out the sun, they can be seen levitating above the trees as if marveling themselves to the psionic magics miracles, seeing the result of their labor both of them slowly hovered lower to meet the ground.
As they did the breathless wheezing of a young boy is heard when both magicians set foot.
The boy, Arvin can be seen panting heavily from the aftermath of casting his spell for it is draining to much of his Regal core.
While Mercer his mentor continues to look around the regal formation that this student of his set up around the place.
With a smile forming on his features, Mercer praises Arvin and his artificial aide as he gathers the surrounding energies and gives it to the boy to refill his Regal energies.
"This is truly an impressive feat young prince and Rusi, both of you did well in casting this Tier four-level formation spell, I wonder how both of you manage to grasp the concept of mirror world with ease?".
"Really? is that so Master Mercer? This spell felt hard to conjure in my perspective, furthermore, I would have only been able to cast this spell if it weren't for your Regal energies supporting mine and Rusi acting as my support" Arvin replied while steadily regaining his breath as Mercers Regal linking buff effectively brings Arvin back to full power from the boys initial fatigue.
"Indeed, Parf Edhellen (Child) even when I was your age this kind of spell would have been done by the fifteen-year-old mages in training during my time!". Mercer affirmed Arvin from underestimating himself too much.
Sighing in relief from his master's words, Arvin could only think that if he had learned these kinds of spells before he could have stopped that Spectral King from injuring his mother severely to the point of her becoming bedridden for a while.
"Well if it wasn't for Rusi that acts as my second mind I wouldn't have the comprehension needed to learn this Arcane magic formations". Arvin says thanking Rusi's help over the matter.
Mercer ponders for a bit on his answer before asking Arvin for a favor, one that will change everything in this world. "Say, young lad, perhaps if you could share with us this so-called system of yours with the Tel' Quesir High Mages, we would be able to develop it into something more, do you have any thoughts on that?"
A bit startled by Mercer's question, Arvin couldn't help but wish that Mercer didn't find out about it earlier.
Yet couldn't blame the man for doing so, as this matter was not too big of a deal for Arvin to not let his master understand Rusi's existence.
"Yes, master I can try to give it to you at least, but it's not yet complete, Rusi is still developing and I don't think that it is a good idea if every Grand Mage in the entire world gains her transcript.
. . . after all, she goes to the wrong hands' many bad things will happen, simply because this creation of mine is lethal!
. . . And by the way? isn't there like a spell similar to this system of mine?". Arvin said while questioning whether it is a good idea or not.
"True, but it won't fall in the wrong hands! not without your permission, even if they force the system from you that wouldn't happen if your will is strong enough.
. . . But indeed there is a spell called Mind Split which is vaguely familiar to yours but not as well made and capable of evolving, unlike your system regal inter? - face? which truly acts as such peculiarities?". Mercer pointed out to Arvin's ingenuity in terms of spell creation and imagination.
"I still wonder where you get that ingenious idea of visualizing calculation through regal power . . .
Not that it doesn't exist nor is it available for everyone but yours is just fascinating and easy to use for some Odd reasons". Mercer continued pleading Arvin to publish his work to the Regal Magistrate for the boy's own good.
Arvin shrugs by his motioning, "Well that depends though if they have enough Mana to store it like a bag of holding since there are certain requirements for a person to be able to handle this spell".
Hearing this Mercer humbly replied, "Alright then, You made a point on that one, but are you certain that it needs Regal Power only? what if you transfuse it into an item have you ever thought of doing that?".
Pausing for a moment Arvin furrows his brows as he begins thinking over it, before responding afterward, "Oh I already did do such, in fact it was my first time creating the system with that conch shell thingy?
. . . Well, At least it's a prototype of Rusi, I'm surprised though, that item I used has so much Regal Power stored inside of it! to the point it almost seemed to be infinite".
Mercer widens his eyes at the mention of the conch, his forehead starts to sweat bullets rapidly as he starts contemplating seriously in his mind about that item on Arvin's behalf.
'BOY THAT IS NOT a Conch Shell! That is the Tear of Elyne OUR goddesses tears! We hid that from the Twilight Harassers for a reason!
'How did he even . . . Nevermind . . .'
' . . . No wonder you were able to create Rusi! I have to ask Gwyendelin now to give it to me so that I can inspect what you did to our Eternal Ladies Arcane Focus!'
From this red flag alone, their study session ends quickly, Mercer dismisses Arvin to discuss with his mother and father about him being able to tamper the properties of a certain divine artifact.
Arvin with nothing to do walks around his father's territory while Annabeth is following his every move.
She currently is watching the boy's daily life for Reg' Nalson's absence left the girl tremendous amounts of workload to do by herself, making Annabeth disparaged him over the arduous tasks meant to be handled by the former butler who is secretly the former twilight king.
'Aish, Damn it Reg! why did you have to leave me behind from the dukedom for your stinking vengeance
. . . Ugh well no use complaining about it now, since I can watch this boy grow up twenty-four-seven, BUT I swear, when I see your old pricking butt again!
I will kick that fat lump of yours! and drill a hole bigger than a whales mouth in it!' realizing that she was talking to herself again, Annabeth refocused her attention to watching the young master.
They continue to thread all over the place, greeting many of the elderly people who are retired heroes living in the dukedom, out of boredom Arvin asked them to tell him more about their stories and adventures in this world.
Time passes once again, the night came, two bright planets illuminated the darkened skies, one was a bright shade of blue while the other was pure as starlight.
Both maid and prince went back to their homely abode, bidding each other's time over menial chores and such by the young boy's persistence.
With today's work finished, Arvin heads back to his quarters to contemplate the events that took place over a few months ago.
'Rusi are you there?'
(Yes Master Arvin?)

*Sigh
"What in the world did I get myself into this time . . ." Arvin Contemplated over the situation at hand as the information was quite the overwhelming experience for him.
'At first all I wanted was to go back to my world, then I want to protect my current family from their enemies, and now there's this, strenuous training that would probably continue on for my entire life time'
Time seemed to pass, with the light of the night slowly begining to egress from position to position, slowly completing the dark descent of the night.
Mulling over the comfort of his pillow, Arvin makes his resolve, standing up from his bed covers he begins to read once more about books of magic's & the lore of the world.
"I swear I will never get tired of doing this" he says as he begins to continue on reconfiguring RUSI.
There on that night something seemed to spark on the young lad, as the burden of the future slowly reveals his calling.
For finally at long last, a King has been made . . .
-
Young man came from hunting, faint and Weary
what does ail my love my deary?
O mother dear, Let my bed be made
For - I feel the gripe of the woody night shade!
Lie low, Sweet Randall
Come all you young men, that do eat full well
And them that Sups right merry
'Tis far better, I entreat, to eat toads for your meat
Than to eat of the wild, wild berry . . . . . .
THIS YOUNG MAN, well he died fair soon . . .
By the light of the hunter's moon . . .
'Twas not by bolt, nor yet by blade . . .
BUT the leaves and the berries of the woody night shade
This Lord's false love, well they hanged her high
For 'twas by her deeds that her lord should die
Within her locks they entwined a braid
Of the leaves and the berries of the woody night shade . . .
