Chereads / A Fantasy to Worlds End / Chapter 7 - Goodbyes and New Start

Chapter 7 - Goodbyes and New Start

Region of Amoria Capitol City Zrosa.

Amoria Military Base 

Within a room made of granite flooring, bookshelves against the wall, a giant world map showing the four regions, and a giant longsword that hangs right above a desk with a chair with chair decorated with unique designs with pictures of weapons incorporated within them, with a large rectangular window behind the desk. 

A tall man with broad shoulders, a long black coat, and shoulder pads stands viewing the Capitol City of Amoria. Zrosa.

KNOCK KNOCK 

"Report General do I have permission to come in?" a voice calls. 

"Yes, come in" Galen speaks with a deep voice. 

"General Rossi we have captured two members of the Aero Desperados. Both seem to be in a mentally unstable state to talk right now" speaks a foot soldier. 

The man turns around with short bright copper fringed hair with some texture and volume, orange eyes, and a grey beard. 

[Amoria Strategic General Galen Rossi]

"It figures judging of the incident that just occurred. Give them some time I will talk to both separately and give them an option"

"Yes General"

"Wait of my son where is he at right now"

"I believe Sir Ambrose is preparing to leave for Cassadora soon the tram will leave soon"

"I see" Galen with a saddened face. 

"All this work and I can't see him off. He should be fine we talked the other night. Would you please let him know the best of luck? 

"Of course sir."

"Also is everything set up for his overnight stay?"

"Yes"

"What about the special requests from the Alekzander family and Pierce for their children"

"My apologizes sir but I did do the reservations for the Pierce Family but I couldn't lock one in for the Alekzander child"

Galen strokes his beard in disappointment"Oh dear and he's one of the main ones this year." He takes a little walk around his office. "Ok contact that Tavern in Ardia and let them know that Ambrose will have an additional guest when he checks in"

"Of course General. I will take my leave now"

Transportation Zone in Zrosa

Transportation Zone spots are located all around within the four regions. These can teleport you anywhere within seconds. The layout is like a subway where people are lined up as they stand and wait for a teleportation circle. Within that room, there are 20 circles with 10 transportation circles on each side of the room. However, you cannot travel across a region with a Transportation Zone as the use of a Train is needed. Depending on your location it can take a couple hours, 30 minutes, or some half a day. With this being said there are also chances of delays in travel via weather and malfunction of rare monster attacks. 

"This Transportation Zone will take you to the Train Station just make sure to check in and board the correct train and-"

"Mother am pretty sure I remember we always traveled through train transportation. It should take me no more than a couple of hours"

"Right, you ravishing young man." a middle-aged woman says with straight mid-length silver hair, and silver eyes"

[Ella Rossi]

"Thank you, mother," a young man says with a soft smile. He has Cooper's hair is medium length on top, wavy, and short on the sides, slightly taller height, Grey iris eyes, Sharp Facial Structure, angled Eye Brow, and Light skin tone. With a long sword on his side. 

"Are you still conflicted about what your father wants you to do"

The boy nods.

"Dont worry am sure someday he'll accept the fact that you don't wanna follow in his footsteps but for now just enjoy your life" She smiles as she holds her son's face with both hands. "Now go on. Have fun and stay safe. We shall see each other again at the Duel of Progression."

"Goodbye thank you for all you.. I mean both of you have done"

"Also Ambrose please if any girl seems interested in you make sure-"

"Mother please I know."

"Ahha. Alright, see you again" as she waves goodbye. 

Ambrose sighs to himself.

"It's not like I can't get a girl. I just don't know how to pick one out" Ambrose thinks to himself as he teleports away to the Train Station. 

[Heavenly Blade Candidate: Ambrose Rossi]

"Lady Rossi" a soldier comes by. 

"Has Sir Ambrose left already?"

"Oh yes is there a problem"

"It's just a change in the special requests for the tavern"

"Thats nothing to be worried about am sure Ambrose will be happy enough to interact and talk to someone. Make friends"

Village of Rupta Year 

"All right I just have to clip this on and there"

Axelle looks at himself in the mirror.

"Wow, I did grow a little taller. Everything is in perfect shape. Especially this"

Axelle looks at his neck as he holds the mana necklace Bri gifted him.

He heads towards the door and he prepares to exit his room as he looks back. "Goodbye room for now," Axelle says to himself as he exits his room.

SHUT

Axelle enters the dining room where his mother and father await his departure.

"Good morning Axelle" Etna greets her son as she just finished cooking breakfast retrieving the flame from the stove back to her.

"Good morning Mother"

"Today is the day"

"Yes it is"

The front door opens.

"Good morning son"

"Good morning Father"

"Let's have one last breakfast together before you depart"

The Alekzander sit together and eat breakfast.

"Honey, you remember where to go right?" Etna asks. 

"The Teleportation Zone just as you enter the village the building on the right"

"Yes"

"Then from there head to train 39 to Cassadora"

"Yeah you got it down"

"Of course Mother"

"How about the Tavern I told you about? Where I pulled some strings to get you a free room?" Axton adds. 

"As soon I get off the train head south and the tavern should be the busiest spot if not just ask around"

"Correct at least we don't have to worry about your sense of direction"

They all laugh. 

"Just remember to be aware of your surroundings, don't trust anyone" Axton warns his son. 

"Yes, you've drilled into my head multiple times. Even when we trained you would ask if to finish the sentence"

"Am serious. Especially after that news came about when that incident occurred with Bri. The fact that sent that out to the world is unbelievable."

The room goes silent. 

"Am pretty sure he has it down dear" Etna adds.

Axton stands from the table "I also want to give you this" he speaks as he pulls out a bag from one of the shelves.

He removes the item from the bag. It's a sword. Protected by a black and gold scabbard.

SHEATH 

The sword is unsheathed and the hilt has a black finish with a gold hilt. He then puts it back in the scabbard.

"This right son is my Adamantium sword that I used to fight in the war. It was my most precious thing"

"What replaced it?"

"Something precious that was much more precious than this sword."

The sword then gets given to Axelle.

"You my son"

Axelle with a surprised look on his face. 

"Am giving this to you cause I trust you and believe in you. Regardless if you become one of the Heavenly Mages or somehow don't pass the Entrance Exam. I will always be proud of you"

"Axelle whatever you decide to do we are here for you and if you feel like coming after this it's alright we'll understand "Etna adds. 

"Plus you don't have to pay any Bal food provided so please come home whenever" Axton pleads with tears in his eyes.

"Thank you guys again for being the best parents and teachers I could ask for. I will do my best to show that all these years of training with the both of you will be worth it"

"That's great to hear son but who are you doing this for?"

Axelle thinks for a couple seconds. 

"You guys?"

"Axelle you must learn everything you do will be for yourself. Sure me and your father will be happy but when you think upon it. It all depends if you are happy. Remember that. You have to feel good about yourself. Dont focus on what others think. Just you" Etna adds on.

"Oh, dear another remember that my dearest he already has so much to remember" Axton jokes.

"Hey it's very important that he knows that we are proud of him and will support him"

"Yes yes yes dear" Axton smiles "One last question before you leave Axelle"

"What is it, father?"

"What will you say to Bri?"

Axelle stops eating his food and thinks in a deep thought. He then opens his mouth "I don't what to say to her!" in a panicked voice. "I've been thinking about multiple scenarios in my head. What if I see her when I first get off the train? What if she surprises me? What If we see each other at the Entrance Exam? Will she remember me will she remember this necklace?" as he holds his head. 

"That could be a possibility"

SMACK

Axton gets smacked on the back of the head.

"Axton!" Etna says.

"What. It's true. That slap had a little heat to it"

"Really. Something you give good advice and lessons. And sometimes" Etna stares at Axton.

"Sometimes?" as he continues to rub his head. 

"Ugh, never mind. Axelle just says to yourself "She'll Remember me". No need for overthinking and getting worked up about it. If you see her you see her. And if she doesn't remember it's okay just reintroduce yourself again"

"Ok thank you, guys"

"You're welcome son," Axton says.

Etna rolls her eyes at me "I swear" Etna says as she looks at the ground in disbelief. "

Axelle then heads to the front door.

"Goodbye thank you for everything"

"Goodbye dear" Etna speaks. 

"Stay safe and make the best of it" Axton speaks with a trembling voice as if he was on the verge of tears.

The three embrace in a hug.

SNIFF

SNIFF 

"See you guys later"

SHUT

Axelle heads on out towards the Teleportation Zone with his new sword in hand and bag full of clothes.

"Capitol City of Ardia here I come. Ardian Magic Academy. Get ready for the Prince of the Primordial Flame"
