Lucian sat calmly as Fynn suggested sending lucian instead of the knight; he knew his father planned this with Fynn before the meeting even started but he had no proof to justify that.
"why are you doing this father? "he asked his father after trying his best to understand the motive behind his father's decision.
"you would know when you get there" Ray briefly answered and for the first time since he had a conversation with his father; he was serious.
Lucian blinked his eye several time to be sure he was not hallucinating, his father was serious and this decision can only mean something either beneficial for him or Emera.
"your majesty, if you will permit my self to continue speaking" Fynn ordered for permission to continue as a sign of respect
"speak" Ray said as a sign of permission for fynn to continue.
" The prince lack experience and leading skills. The knight's of Orton on the other hand are trained to the apex of skill and thinking ability; sending the prince to help the human's wage war against their enemy or oppressors will not only give him the experience to lead but also teach him to care for his people" Fynn explained; all this word was taught to him by Ray himself. Who wouldn't want their favorite people to always lead, and the Fynns we're definitely the great king of planet Orton favorite.
" Why did you think the prince need experience to lead his people? " Ray asked Fynn. The King hardly ask questions in this type of gathering; if he ask a question, it meant he was interested in whatever the person was saying or got pissed at the person talking, but the king voice was calm and not agitated.
"your majesty. During your majesty's younger year's; you participated in not only local wars to ward of the stray beast who was attacking non-pureblood, your majesty also fought for the liberation of all race who was being oppressed " Ray raised an eyebrow to what Fynn answered as a reply; he didn't teach him this, he was surprised that Fynn knew things which most people did not know.
"that led you to being the great king you are and not as a title but in literal sense that you are a great king. You were closer to the people and always fought for the people and now, pureblood, gets, and every other races present here can justify to your just and upright treatment, if your majesty sends the prince to also partake in this mission, then he will also be shaped into a great and upright king like you" Fynn explained before bowing to the king and going back into the right line.
There was silence in the hall. They were all waiting for the king decision until one minister came out to speak.
"your majesty. Sending lucian will be a very long waste of time and would or might endanger his life. The enemy of the humans are unknown " with the way he started speaking without asking for permission first or even bowing, one could tell he was a pureblood without even looking.
"No one is asking for my opinion on this" Lucian spoke after a long silence which immediately attracted all eyes on him.
"if I may your majesty" Lucian stood up from his throne before walking to his father, then genuflect as a sign of respect.
"speak... " Ray ordered. He wanted to hear what lucian wanted to say.
" Your majesty, I am still young and lack so much experience to deal with the humans, and your majesty know the humans always sees light as righteous and darkness as evil. My energy which is uniquely owned by me is darkness itself; how do your majesty think the humans would react to this" it was a rhetorical question and the king knew so himself.
"you will go" the king gave his verdict. Lucian knew from the onset that his father would send him even if he gave one thousand and one reason not to go " you will protect the humans and channel their faith to Orton. Fight against the enemies of the humans while defending their home and people from extinction; you are to leave as early as tomorrow morning" he said standing up from his throne signalling the end of the meeting.
""your majesty""" the ministers all bowed as he walked out of the hall first before the others followed suite.

Clang! Clang! Clang!
Boom!
"f*ck, you never told me it would be this hard! " Emera shouted at the top of her lung. Due to the time difference between this soul space and reality, her body already healed.
"do you expect power to come easily? You are so naive" The avatar answered. She was sitting on a chair which she created with magic and creating clones slightly stronger than Emra to help her train.
"you know I just heard. Why if I end up having another wound? " Emera asked. She wanted to curse out and give up on the training but she knew it was all for her own good, the training and all.
" you were awakened late as a pureblood, for you to have an advantage over others; you need to train like your life depends on it, " the avatar explained "ohh...ypu defeated fifteen clones quite easily. You are growing at a very fast astonishing pace, maybe I should add five extra with strength at the golden stage level" The avatar voiced out her thought loud.
"are you shitting me?! I am having problems fighting with the azure blue evolved and now you want me to fight a golden evolved? Do you want me dead? " Emra cursed, she couldn't hold it in any longer, her armors and even sword were already getting worn out and so was her strength and stamina, she has never trained this hard and this is one of a hell training.
"Do not be afraid, you can do it. Lucian will be joining you when you have gotten to the golden stage, so keep it up if you don't want to lag behind " the avatar encouraged.
"fuck! " she screamed when she saw five golden clones joining the other clone, she had to use her powers which she hardly ever use that instance to help her get the advantage "swirling wind! " she screamed as she released a great surge of wind around her in other to help her win.
"I wonder what your unique energy will be " The avatar wondered as she saw Emera golden eye having a tint of blue in it " unlike lucian, all pureblood have to evolve to the azure blue rank in other to have their unique energy" she said as she watched the struggling Emera fighting with all her might
