Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Prologue

One o'clock that afternoon, if you enter the Liniesca forest, you will see a pale green-skinned woman moving around the trees. She is Nara, a Nymph. Diwata as humdrums call it, one of the guardians of the forest.

Nara is currently in a hurry towards her Lord. Even tired because of the distance, it was not noticeable on her face. All that can be seen there is joy, and worry.

When Nara reached the entrance of the Liniesca forest, she picked a leaf from a tree, whispered the leaf and threw it in the air.

Gradually the leaf grew and took into shape of a boat. Nara flew and rode on it. When the nymph got on board, it waved one hand and suddenly the leaf boat disappeared with its nymph on board.

Later in a mansion, a flying leaf can be seen floating closer to it ridden by a beautiful maiden. If you look at it, it looks like it was just passing the middle of a calm lake in a slow phase.

When it reached the front of the mansion, the boat made of a leaf slowly flew down.

When she got out of the floating leaf, the leaf shrank and flew into Nara's hands. Nara then knelt on one knee and spoke.

"Lord Albert William Orth, your servant Nara is here to give news of the prophecy we have received." It speaks in a very tender tone.

Her voice was so smooth that seems almost inaudible but all the people of the mansion was hearing it clearly.

The main door of the mansion immediately opened and it spat out a very handsome and elegant young man. If you look into his physique, he is only twenty to thirty years old.

He was none other than Butler Elie, the head butler of the mansion. He may look young but he is three hundred and fifty -six years old. This is because he is called a Mixed-breed.

His mother was an Elf and his father was a kapre. Due to the slow aging of the physical body of the elven race and the natural seductive power of the kapre's, Butler Elie might be counted as 'one of the perfect pieces of art' by humdrums.

"Good day Miss Nara. Please come in, Sir William is in his office, waiting for you. " Butler Elie invited the nymph.

Nara then entered and they went to the second floor of the mansion. When they were in front of Sir William's office the door suddenly opened and they were greeted by a very elusive man. Even if you can see some gray hairs growing on his head, there is no denying of his captivating appearance.

"How is the forest of Laniesca, Nara." William greeted the nymph.

"Good and abundant my Lord, thank you for your protection, no ferocious monsters are trying to invade our forest." Nara responded enthusiastically as she knelt halfway down.

"But that is not my goal. I have come to share with you the prophecy of the universe." It adds more.

"Prophecy? It can only be given by nymphs to those who asks and entered your Paradise." William said. "As I've remembered, it was seven months ago when I last visited and checked your situation, but I did not ask for a prophecy because a large part of your power will be reduced and it will be a long time before you can regain it. And Universe?" William clarified with what he heard.

"As far as I know, nature is what you are prophesying." He added.

"Yes, you heard it right sir. Prophecy from nature is what we give to those who ask. But the prophecy from the Universe comes naturally and there is a ninety seven percent certainty that it will come true." Said Nara.

"This prophecy is about your third generation, the three princes." She added.

The attention of the two was further focused on the nymph when it mentioned the three princes. William waved his hand upwards to make a sound barrier magic.

A barrier surrounds the entire mansion but William still made sure that no one else can hear their conversation except the three of them.

"Continue." William said with full attention on what the nymph had to say.

"According to the prophecy-" She was about to speak but suddenly her green eyes turned white and her third eye opened between her eyebrows.

"From the third generation of a human lord, a king will arise. Not only in the human world but in all races. Three separated dimensions will collide into one. Creatures big or small will be living under the rule of the son."

After that short line Nara's appearance returned to normal and the prophecy was re-shared with them as if she hadn't mentioned it a while ago.

"The prophecy you mentioned Nara, is good, but why does there seem to be fear in your face?" Elie asked while smiling.

"Elie is right, this is a very good news for us." William said and paused. "But its been five millennia without an Overlord in all races!"

"That's right. And not only was it published on planet Earth, after the universe gave the prophecy we immediately received greetings from our surrounding planets expressing their appreciation for the prophecy they received. " Nara said.

"It means that it is not only the East Region that has received it!" Elie replied worriedly.

Because of this revelation, the three were silenced in their conversation and thoroughly thought of the matter.

After a while, William took a deep breath and turned away from them.

"Thank you very much for the warning Nara. Is there anything else?" William said thanking the nymph.

"No more my lord." Responded the nymph.

"Elie," William called his head butler. "Provide guards for my three grandchildren. Make sure that apart from not noticing their presence, their rank is at least Platinum commander." He instructed.

"Yes, my Lord." Head butler response.

After that, the two disciples left William's office and obeyed his orders.

William then went to the drawer of his desk and picked up a long blue plume. He went to the center of his office and began to write scriptures.

When he's finished, he threw away the plume he was holding and it returned to the place where William took it.

"Looks like I need to practice more and raise my rank higher." He said standing in the middle of the magic circle he made.

William stretched out his arms and waved it slowly from his back to the top of his head. When he reached the highest point where his arms can go, he pressed both of his palms together and slowly lowered them to his chest as if praying.

"It's time to say hello to my old friends again." He said as he clapped his hand then suddenly disappeared.
