Chapter 2 - ARCANCIA AND LUKE[ To the past<..>]

A beautiful kingdom with a lakes and lot of self-sufficient forests and farming land, Arcancia is most well known for its peaceful life, making it famous for immigrants to travel in the hope of shelter and a stable life.

Most of these people have lost their homes, in a fight between species, and even humans are not friendly, with their kind, even after being most in number.

The kingdom was most famous for its fairies because there is no other place, where fairies can be seen, only Arcancia has them, In the past queen of fairies and his subjects did not have anywhere else to go because of war, it was a king who gave them a place to live.

however, the people of Arcancia kingdom are kind and generous, to those who come from outside, making them feel at home.

After hearing those stories from other merchants, coming back from this country, a young man changes his direction. In the hope of finding shelter, his clothes are torn up.

Anyone can tell from his looks, that this young fellow has seen hell, more than once, his hands are covered in blood, legs are trembling with weakness, but his willpower makes him unstoppable.

He somehow reaches the gates of Arcancia, but everything is covered with a mist, as soon as the soldier sees someone approaching them, they take a fighting stand.

"Who are you? state your business with this kingdom," it seems the kingdom's army was super sharp, they take a fighting position, and as soon as they see someone approaching

"I am in no danger, just looking for a place to stay for a few days, I have no ill intention," says a young man with a smile, while bleeding from his hands, It seems he had fallen when he was climbing the hilly area to reach Arcancia in his injured state.

Soldiers take a relaxed position, as they see a man in need "hurry up give him medical assistance, he is bleeding at an extreme level, call meds from inside."

After a while, meds take care of his wounds "Thank you sir" the young one says with gratitude in his voice.

"Where are you from? and in such a state what happened with you, Were you in some kind of battle, Don't worry you can take a rest inside if you pass the test, Bring the truth-seeking device," says the caption with a loud voice

Listening to his question young man decides to speak "I am from the Elginia empire, or I can say I was from the Elginia empire, but no one is alive now, It was destroyed by the dragon king in his uncontrollable dragon form, when he was out of control in his fight with, one of the demon king generals."

No one spoke a word but deep inside everyone felt his pain, this was a harsh world with uncountable different species living to exist while finishing one another and another reason for their sadness was that the Elginia empire had a good term with Arcancia, hearing such a strong kingdom being destroyed was shocking for them.

Everyone has lost someone dear to them, in a certain part of their life due to these clashes, Arcancia is standing because they have military power with different species, and the kingdom combines their powers, making their army not easy to handle.

Without asking further questions caption asked, brings a device, which is capable of telling magic power level, the name of the individual and any criminal history by studying their aura.

young man puts his hand on the device and it starts glowing blue and emits words, Luke Heinar, age 22, magic level 2, aura purest white, everyone was surprised with the amount of purity in the aura.

captain with a surprised look says, "This the second time in my duty of 20 years to this kingdom, I have seen such a pure white aura, from an outsider."

"So that means, I am free to enter the city?" Captain smiled at this question and nodded: Yes Mr. Luke, from now on you are our guest, you can stay here, for however long you want and you can contribute to this nation by helping in various things such as construction or fighting monsters, but obviously after you recover."

The medical team takes him into a carriage so that he can get proper medical attention to his wounds. As he entered the city, he saw many various types of species and among those fairies were the most common ones, "Wow this place is amazing," he was most amazed by the fairies.

They were of different sizes, one was as small as a pencil and the other where the size of a human, "How come fairies have various sizes, and why are all of them so beautiful," To this question, one of the soldiers smiled at Luke and says "Mr. Luke, I am not surprised that you know so less about fairies, well not your mistake though, they are not easy to see, anywhere else."

"So they are magical creatures and mainly known for their natural magic and pure and innocent personality, since their bodies are made of high-quality magic power, they can control their size, according to their will, it is cool, right?" asks a soldier with a wink.

"Yes, it is true, I had never seen, such a place not only fairies," but there were also other species like beautiful elves, beastman, snake-woman, lizardmen and many more, which even Luke had never seen.

After some minutes of driving, Luke reached to medical camp and with the help of the soldiers, he went inside, Many people were lying, most of them were people, from town and others were injured soldiers.

"What happened to him, Why does such a young man look like he is about to die," This powerful voice was from a woman medic. "Hu, madam Helen this young man is from a country who got destroyed recently, Give him medical attention, look at his condition, he is super weak."

Helen looked at Luke with no emotions took him to the medical room and used surgical equipment on him, after a while she came out of the room and asked her assistant to use her recovery magic to speed up his healing.

pink hair and pink eyes It was the first time, Luke had seen a fairy up so close, so he got a little shy, "oh Why are you feeling shy, What is it, Are you in love with me or what, Well, if a young man like you is interested, then let me tell you, I am single," says fairy with a teasing smile.

"Claire when will you learn not to flirt with our patients, do you even know how many complaints, I have to face because of you, most patients want to come back again, even if they are not injured because of you," Helen gives angry looks to Claire after declaring her sins.

"OK ok, I will not do it," she pouts while using healing magic on Luke, Her magic aura was green, and it was peaceful, like sitting in a park and hearing birds talking.

With Helen's care Luke recovered to half his strength, and planned to move to town, to look for work, "Thank you, Ms. Helen, and I hope to meet you again if I get a chance again and you to Claire."

"Oh, you called me Claire, does that mean you are interested in me, If you are please take me on a date or something next time, he he."

"No no, it is not like that, You are just super friendly, so I just called you directly because I feel like, we are friends and of course, I can't use an unformal tone for Ms. Helen because she reminds me of my master, I got a lot of betting from her when I was taking training from her, Luke answers with a blush.

"Oh, you are so cute, let us be friends then, I will take care of increasing our relationship further in future, better than being rejected," To all of this talk between Claire and Luke, Helen has those looks as if they continue more, it is going to be super bad.

"OK Bye Both I hope I meet you in better condition next time; Luke waves his hand and says bye to them with a smile, Wow, what a friendly guy, I hope he becomes mine,'' Claire looks with a smile, to which Helen ignores as if she never heard anything at all, hey no fair, you can't ignore me like that.

That night Luke was sleeping outside in the cold, near a lake that was passing inside the town, he was used to the cold now because he had been out for a long after he lost the battle with the dragon king.

A lady who was passing by looked at him lying in the cold, For her that was unusual because no one slept outside like that, everyone had some house, big or small does not matter.

she came to him quietly, as if she did not want to disturb him, but Luke looked cold to her kind eyes and she could not stop herself from calling him, "Son why are you sleeping outside, Don't you have anywhere to go?"

Luke wakes up from a sudden call from near him, then he sees a lady in her sixties looking at him, "No mam I am new here and I still have not got work here, so I am just sleeping out here for the night, I am sure I will get some work tomorrow."

"No my son you can not sleep like that, come with me to my home, it is nearby, I will even cook food for you."

"But mam I can't disturb you just because I don't have a place "the old lady smiles at Luke, "Oh my boy you don't worry and if I don't help you now, I might not get sleep at all for the whole night, I will be worried about you."

That old lady takes Luke to her house, passing from narrow allies and then at the end of there is a small house, "Here we are it is close by right?" the lady asked as she caught her breath.

when both of them entered the inside of the house, an old man sitting on a chair looked with excitement, Oh honey you are back quickly today Oh do we have a guest today, he said when he looked at Luke. yes dear this fellow is an immigrant and he did have a place to live in this cold, so I invited him, the old lady answers his husband.
