"Is she doing okay now? The monsters have already been cleared out, and your father is probably awake now." Luke said as he sat besides Fay who was watching Meng sleep.
Fay sighed before turning to face Luke with a bright smile on her face.
"Meng Meng's doing fine for a fairy her age. She'll be up in a day or two." Fay answered as she grabbed Meng's little hand.
Luke smiled broadly before rising up, and looking outside through the open window. His eyes narrowed as it locked upon the silhouette of a creature watching them from afar.
"Say, what actually made you guys to remain here instead of heading back home." Luke looked over his shoulder to Fay and asked.
"That's top secret, but I think you should know." Fay sighed heavily before continuing with a frown, "There's a powerful universal weapon hidden here in the capital.
"Would you mind telling me what you saw in the dimensional portal?" Luke pressed as he looked back to the creature which had already disappeared.
"A typical room for humans. Why do you ask?" Fay answered, but suddenly raised her eyebrows in realisation.
Fuck!
"So you're telling me that someone is living there? How's that possible, it's another dimension?!" Fay wanted to argue, but was shut up by Luke who suddenly put his index finger on his lips.
There's no way that's possible! A dimensional portal would only open to either those who set it or for the person already inside!
It doesn't make sense, we just accidentally stepped into the portal through a door!
"Don't tell me it was an accident, because if it is, this isn't as simple as it looks. There might be a new wave of dimensional creatures." Luke warned as he drew out
Fay nodded solemnly before picking up the toddler sized Meng, and planting a kiss on Luke's lips before dashing away rapidly.
Luke stood in a daze for some seconds before smiling slightly to himself.
'Come on out buddy, I've got a mission for you.' Luke thought as he spread out his hands and began sending out his chaos energy to form a visible dark smog.
Suddenly, a horse sized black dragon formed out of the smog, and roared to the sky before looking down upon Luke in apprehension.
"Don't look at me like that. I just want you to help send a message to my dad that's all." Luke immediately spat out before lifting his arm and sighing in defeat.
'Send a message to that shameless old elf? Do you seek my death, or do I look like your messenger.' Blackburn telepathically replied to Luke before turning his face to the side and snorting coldly.
"Dude, just tell him he's son is in danger! And ask Laura to ride here even if it means sleeping in a bed together for a month." Luke impatiently shouted before looking outside the window and letting out a sigh.
"Sigh... I'll send the message. Just don't disturb my cultivation again." Blackburn said before flapping his scaly wings and flying out through the open window.
Luke smiled before leaping out after him, but in another direction.

Thousands of children dressed in white all stood before a tall man dressed in black.
The man's name was Ryle, the master of Steel Temple. His golden locks were tied back in a ponytail, while his glowing azure eyes swept across every child.
He wore two black bands on both wrists, and had a white cloth with the insignia of a roaring golden dragon on his head.
"We, the steel warriors of the most esteemed Steel Temple. Born by fire and blood, trained and hammered to steel. Cold, and ruthless warriors, assemble before the royal court."
Immediately after the man ended his speech, all the children cupped their fists and bowed their heads before repeating:
"We, the steel warriors of the most esteemed Steel Temple. Born by fire and blood, trained and hammered to steel. Cold, and ruthless warriors, assemble before the royal court!"
Ryle smiled broadly as he also bowed while cupping his fist with his palm.
"What an outstanding class you have trained, Master Ryle." A tall black haired man walked up to Ryle with his hands behind his back.
"I know right. These warriors will lead the
The black haired man, who was none other than Frank smiled faintly before turning to face the children.
"Which one of you thinks he or she is worthy to stand before the royal court?" Frank asked calmly as his gaze swept across each and every student.
"Holy Moly, that's grand-master Frank of the royal court!"
"It's said that he can single handedly wipe out an entire clan of iron-skull skeletons! His strength is unfathomable!"
"Damn that! I saw him with my own eyes, he himself beat-down a dimensional lion without any equipment!"
"If this beast wants to test us to see how strong we are, I'm out."
"Yeah me too. I've got an appointment with the dentist, I don't think I can fight today."
"Shut your lying mouth! We don't even have a dentist!"
Frank sneered as he continued to look over all the kids while smiling slightly.
'They are all a bunch of toothless tigers.'
"Sir, I think I'm worthy! I trained all my life for that day, and I won't back down." A small boy said weakly from behind while standing up tall.
His hair was blood-red, and his cold, lifeless eyes emitted the aura of fearlessness itself. Although his eyes were sunken in, with big black bags under them, and his face as pale as paper, but still continued to stand.
"What's your name child?" Frank asked with a smile as he looked down to the child.
"P-Peter... My name is Peter." The red haired boy silently answered with a forced smile on his face.
"Welcome to the royal court... Peter" Frank said as he bowed his head slightly to Peter.
