Lad stood in front of the massive gate as it asked the question, "Who's this?" the World coughed, "This is my new King Slayer. You are to give him three destinations for free! No funny business. No changing directions cause it tickles your fancy like you always do to my slayers!" the World ordered. The Gate gave out a long sigh, "Fine! I will honor your request. So you're the new Slayer huh? Where do you want to go first?" Lad stepped forth and stated "Heavenly Realm". The Gate smiled big, "Ah, the city of clouds. How are you managing to traverse the endless sky there boy?"
The World sighed, holding out a hand with a black orb in its palm. "This is a flight spell. It'll come in handy" Lad nodded and took the orb. His mind flickered as the spell attached to his Mind Palace. Magic circle moved above the broken tower before dimming. The orb disappeared. Lad nodded as he read the spell in his mind the instructions to make it work 'Flight spell; if the body is in top form then the spell can push the body through the soaring heights. Simply think fly and the spell activates. Land the spell deactivates' he nodded and began walking towards the gate. "I have one more request before going. Will you give me a messenger stone to use as a way to get into the palace?" the World looked deep in thought, "I see you plan to make a covert? Love it!" a purple stone appeared. He held it in his fist and was silent. "Done! The stone should help you gain entry. The stone can only be opened for the receiver the Light King. Look forward to seeing if these works" the World said with a chuckle. Lad took the stone with a nod.
"Good luck young man" the World stated. Lad said nothing as he walked through the gate. When he reappeared he was standing on a cliff. Across the horizon was a field of clouds ranging in warm colors of orange, pink, and red. The sky was a soft orange hue and the temperature of the realm was cool and calm. Floating above the clouds was a giant tower of gold and silver. He began making preparations before flying towards the tower.
He took off his gray surcoat with the dragon sigil on the back showing his identity into the belt. He then placed the kunai also in the belt. He now was only dawned in his black body suit and belt with a red cloth over his waist. Lad wanted to keep all sigils with the dragon off him to gain entry to into the city hopefully as a messenger. He still wore his dimensional belt that only he could use, or even see the real contents of the pocket dimension. Along with a black suit and half a mask on his face. The Oni mask would come into play later when he would inevitably fight his way out of the city.
Now that he made preparations he activated the spell as he thought 'fly' he then started soaring into the sky towards the tower. He could see figures flying about in the cloud. They had three wings ranging from big to small soaring through the sky. They were angels and they all looked almost the same. Blonde hair, both male and female. They were all lustrous armor with a crown with wings sigil upon the breast plate. A duo spotted Lad and flew towards him. He adjusted and stood hovering over a cloud waiting for them. 'This ruse had better work' he thought. The two angels had long hair down to their backs. They were twin males with glowing yellow eyes. They smiled at Lad, but even Lad could see these men were powerful as he used his mind to see their auras were bright white. One approached closer, "Who are you? Clearly not from this realm?" he said. "I am someone the King would want to see. I have a message for him, '' he said bluntly. "We can deliver the message what is it?" the second one asked. "I don't believe so. I am to deliver this message to the king himself. Not two soldiers" Lad said with a hint of annoyance. The twins started to look angry, "We are no mere soldiers! We are captains of the guards who keep the gate safe from intruders. You are a stranger we are not permitted to allow just anyone see the King '' they placed hands on their sword handles. Lad sighs in annoyance. He held up the stone showing it, "I'm telling you this message is only for the king. As you can see I am unarmed so your aggression is unwarranted. So what do you want to do?" Lad said with more aggression in his voice. The twins then looked at each other and floated away to discuss. 'These two are gonna be a problem' Lad thought. Lad at this point kept all sigils with the dragon off him to gain entry into the city hopefully as a messenger. He still wore his dimensional belt that only he could use, or even see the real contents of the pocket dimension. Along with his red and black suit and half a mask on his face. The mask would come into play later when he would inevitably fight his way out of there. 'They should only see me as a threat. I suppressed all my chi and hid anything incriminating in my belt. I should only be a
The twins then faced him, "We will personally escort you through the gate to the king. You are to not go anywhere or do anything without our permission. A guard will escort you there. Do you agree to these terms stranger?" Lad merely nodded. One was behind him as they flew and the other led. As they came closer to the gate it was colossus in size and looked thick. It was bronze and gold in color and four guards stood by it. Each holding a long javelin and dawned in helmets with visors.
The three stepped down and approached the gate. Lad could see a magic circle at the base of the gate. He kept looking around, 'the walls are solid and smooth. I would need to get to the top of the tallest tower. But there is a possibility that could have some chi powered shield invisible to the eyes. This magic circle can't be the only one here' Lad thought. Four guards then encircled him on each side of him. The gate then rumbled as it slowly rose.
