Ethereal Continent 7 days ago the day Galen wake up, Magic Era Calendar year 1705.
10 minute before Galen awake
somewhere in some country and castle, one soldier bear the name of the Special Captain. This position is a position that only the king can give. The one who doesn't want to serve the military, but because of the high skill he has, the country can't abandon him. He have already been recognized by the king. The king of this country is the one directly giving him this Rank. He have freedom either he wants to choose to serve the kingdom or not. But in the time the kingdom needs help, he must help the kingdom no matter what. Title of Special Captain will still get the income from the country, every month. One who can have this title is only someone who already becomes S rank adventure in the guild. He's been called by the king to his study room.
""Good morning, Captain.""
two soldiers greet me, seeing me in the castle while walking around.
"Good morning."
"Captain, do you need something this morning? why did you come to the castle?"
"ahhh, yes, the king called me. He wants to ask me about something."
"is that so? then excuse us, Captain."
"yes, yes."
I'm a man in mid 20. even though I'm still so young despite that, this kingdom already recognizes my power. If only I didn't have that order from the village, maybe I will never be Special Captain in this kingdom. But I can't deny this order. Right now, the king already called me. I don't know what he wants, but for now, I will meet him.
I knocked two times on one room in the castle that room was study room, 'knock knock.'
"You can in."
There's a sound from inside the room.
When I open it, I saw two men in the room. The man who sits down on his study table is the king, and the other one who standing beside him is his trusted guard, Royal guards.
"oooo you already arrived... come, come sit in here."
The king ordered me to sit. The king's appearance is like a man with a face of mid 30, but his real age is 50. despite being old, he still looks so young. There's this dignity aura from him when I look at him. The king is kind enough to me. After that incident, he really took a liking to me.
"please excuse me, I have come to fulfill your calling. your majesty, what can I help you?"
"oooo right to the point, huh? hahaha. just relax a bit, okay I just want to talk to you like usual."
"Okay, your majesty."
I really don't want to disrespect the king in front of his guard cause I am just a commoner who got this title. After all, the king favorites me. that is why he is kind enough to me. Because of some incident that the royal family and I were involved in. In the end, he ended that incident with me became a special captain.
"Is not that I want to talk about some serious topic. it's just that I want to know what my daughter up doing right now?"
Since I have the title of Special Captain and have been recognized. I occasionally have been on a mission to guarding the princess. That task was assigned personally by the king.
"Are you worried about her, your majesty?"
"well, as the father there is no way I don't have a worry about her. she is someone who energetic and didn't know how to stop when she starts something until she gets the goal. She's been helping the noble faction who establish a good reputation, for the people. I'm glad as the king, but I'm afraid 'other noble' will be irritated at her act."
The princess always helps the noble faction that had a big contribution to the kingdom. I can understand his worries because the 'other noble' that the king mention was the rotten one and have been torn at his side. the king can't destroy them because even the lowest tier of human still has some use.
"well, you don't need to worry about that. The princess already independent, and even if I'm not guarding her, she has another reliable guard. she even tells me that she already has the plan for 'that faction' "
"Hoho, I'm glad to hear it then. It looks like I can leave this country in her hand soon. oh, by the way, captain are you still..."
Before the king finished his sentence, suddenly I feel some big energy presence from far away. I rose up from my chair suddenly. The king was surprised, and the guard behind him grab his sword, signaling that he is ready to battle.
"what's the matter, captain?"
The king asked me since he can't feel this overwhelming presence. He is curious about why did I stand up from the chair suddenly like that.
I looked outside the window. I looked in the direction where the Vega village is.
'this presence is it... no way. but this presence... no doubts, it's really him. our master already awake!!'
Another place at some City,
20 minute before Galen awake
"Finally, I can go home early,"
"Good work, guild master."
"Good work all of you. I will be first."
I already have to stay up late to finish all the documents, my work is finally finished. I was formerly A rank adventure, but because of my hard work, I had been promoted to the guild master in this town. The village is wanted me to become a guild master too. I earned the status of guild master I recognized as one of the high-ranking adventures.
What only I think on the way home is only my daughter.
'I want to play with her, but I'm really tired right now. I guess I will play with her this noon. wait, should I buy her something before I got home?'
I took a detour first to buy some toys for her.
"I'm home, my angel look at what papa bought this day,"
"welcome home. Wait, you bought a toy again? I already told you that we don't need that much toy. I don't want you to spoil her too much" she is my wife, we always together since a child. I propose to her when I become a guild master, right now, she is complaining to me because I Always bought the toys every time I go home.
"well, it's okay, right? It's not like I always bought her a toy every time I go home."
"what did you say? 'not like always?' my ass. you always bought her toys every time you go home, we should spend the money for her future saving."
"Noooo, I don't wanna. I want my cute little angel to stay like this"
while I hug her, my daughter made an angelic laugh
"this spoiled father....."
this is usual at our place. We both really love our daughter so much. When I think I will leisurely waste my time with my daughter, suddenly I feel a big presence from the outside. This presence is so far away, I know the source of where this big presence is. My wife is the same as me, she realized too.
"dear, do you feel it?"
my wife asked me while looking at the outside window
"yeah, I feel it. This big presence... I don't know if it the monster or something else. But from what I felt... this is not the beast. this presence is coming from the direction of the village."
I'm back to serious mode again when feeling this aura.
"not a beast, huh? then is that mean the time has come?"
"yes, it looks like our master already wakes up."
At the forest, not so far away from the island.
5 minute before Galen wake up
"Ahhh, finally that Elders already go home, they're a pain in the ass. Why I always the one who got ordered to do something. Why don't they ask someone else? I know I'm the youngest one who got out of the village but still...."
I was a girl in my teen, but because of my talent and my magic power I was permitted by the elder to go outside the village, they told me to explore the world as I like and became an informant to our village.
"did they really use me as a messenger to bring this letter and this device to that country? one of our people is in there, why is it to be me?"
I already explore the world in just 4 years. When I got home, they told me to bring this message. Why didn't they use that magic communication to tell them.
My mind becomes irritated. Suddenly... in direction of the village, I feel a big presence. This presence is so big... is like there is another Beast in there, besides the three of our guardians. I looked back in the direction of the village. I realized this presence is not from the three guardians that's mean this presence...
"damn, this is not a dream, right? this big presence in the direction of the village is not from the three, that's mean... it is from our master? he already awake!"
That night at some restaurant.
A Girl with traditional clothing at the continent of Atlantis. she is eating at the restaurant, suddenly she felt something.
"this presence.... it is from Ethereal? that means... is it master?"
She realized the source of this presence in just a second she thinks about it. She is 'someone who clad in black clothes.'
A Kingdom General from one of the Crystal Continent.
He is still sleeping in his room after finish his job until he felt a big presence coming from his hometown. He wakes up from his bed then sit down while thinking about the presence.
"no way this presence is from the Ethereal continent, this nostalgic presence.... are the three guardians? But this presence has more power than them, that's mean... it's our Master, no doubt."
He was a general in that country because the village has a good relationship.
Atlantis Continent,
in one of the company's executive rooms. It's already midnight, but there is still some light in the room. A man suddenly opens the door violently.
"hey sist, do you feel it?"
The man asked someone from the room.
"oh, it's you, huh? don't just open the door violently. I feel it too."
"is it mean he already wake up? our master is?"
"maybe... we can just hope to have some information from the village later."
The two of them guessing the source of presence.
In total, 45 people can feel the presence of the Galen Awakening. Include the Elder. since Galen awake, he never controls his aura until Red mentions it to control his power, All of these people who can felt his presence from far away are the major power in the world. They're the strongest warrior in this world.
At Atlantis continent from the tallest tower in the world. In a big room that looks like a meeting room. A man, an old man he stands up slowly walks close to the window, and looks at the outside of the window. He set his direction toward the Ethereal continent, then he spoke...
"the storm is coming."
He said to the other 11 people in the room.
