Alistair enter the house leaving the maid behind him and close the door. The house is two storey which comprises of one kitchen, a bath and tiny room which is also a study are in the first storey. The second storey consist of three room , one for him, one for the maid and the master bedroom which is not occupied as long as he remembers.
He didn't remember much of his childhood except for some memory fragment such as fire burning everywhere, and a women or maybe his mother voice told him to stay quiet and the maid called Thelma comes to take him in a safe place which is where they currently reside, in a countryside where a sea can be seen . There's only him and Thelma who lives in here as long as he can recalled, she is in a way his friends, mother tutor and instructor, ...and his crush though he never ever told her himself and try to deny it as long as he can.
From a very young age Thelma train him in various way of combat, magic and literature. She seems to be a know-it-all human or sage. But lately she keeps bugging him to become more ambitious about his career, which is to become noble.
Alistair is in his early twenties, black hair , green eyes, broad shoulders, 5.8ft high and has chisels body which shows that he's been trained since he's young. He is quite good looking and is very popular with women wherever he went, but no women can charm him as Thelma who is tall , slender, blonde hair , blue eyes and elegance as any nobles would be.
She let him venturing out into the place outside the village as soon as he reached eighteen years and experience many kind of situation, some are life threatening and some are fun. After almost two years he returned as soon as he received messages from Thelma . Truth be told he expected some kind of heart warming time together with her , but she always keeps her guard up no matter where she is and has mysterious aura around her. And it seems that she never ages and is very loyal to her 'Master' whom he never meet , not even once and up to the point where he thinks that the 'master' of her never existed at all. And that is the only time he witnessed her cries as he mentioned about her master never existed at all, and he makes a promise with himself that he wouldn't talk about such things in front of her as he can't stand the thought of hurting her mentally or physically.
After the sun set , she comes inside the house and prepare a meal which they eat. And when they eat meal she told him that they need to discuss something after dinner.
Alistair expect something about their relationship never the thing what Thelma would say.
" I never think that this day would come after all this time. But the time has come for you to understand about your origin and why we stay here" said Thelma.
" Did you still remember the story I've told you back in those day's?? "
"Ah !! About the first dragon and his adventures? Aren't they just fairy tales?? "
"Sigh , they aren't just fairy tales Alistair. As I told you before, there are only one Dragon up until now and that's also the friends of the Kale Kingdom founder and he's also the first emperor of the Kaisar empire. The first emperor is called many names such as 'the founding Dragon ', 'the rescuer by beastmen' _*
"Hold up! Aren't beastmen just fairy tales meant to scare children and are just object which is use to describe how we- human are superior from other races??
"Don't interrupt my narration oka-"
"Okay .okays. Continue "
" The continent before the founding Dragon was truly a terrible place , there's no specific rule , and it's way more brutal. And human are not the only races which lives here. There's another races which resembles human very much alike except they are excellent in every way , they have twice strength, mana , longer lifespan and has more durability. They are called Laspi"
" They control human behind the shadow and manipulate them to do many atrocities. They enslaved the beast people, and are almost extinct if not for the Great Dragon who comes to rescue them. And they even enslaved other human which he also rescued alongside the human . They are the ancestors of the people who lives in this continent. And there's another continent which is thrice larger than the continent we live and there lives the corrupt human alongside the Laspi which are more beautiful than any human you've ever seen ."
"More beautiful than you??" Said by Alistair playfully. To which Thelma replied by " Well .. not much "
" Whatever. After he rescued most of the enslaved human and beast people he makes a new continent for the enslaved beings and put up a barriers between the main continent and this Asta continent "
" I don't believe it" said Alistair.
" I know that it would come to this. Follow me " said Thelma as she walks into the study and chants something and a portal of some sort open up and Thelma said " follow me quietly.
