ARIAL VERMONT
From the wall, Commander Brooke has sent him a letter.
As the ravens brings the letter, his council quickly sent ssengers to Kings, nobles, churchn as he himself is preparing to et them
The other nobles are also preparing and so are already moving to et him and moving toward the promised place.
This ti Arial mobilized his army. Arial knows that person is about to bring five hundred troops on their side.
So, he would double that number and bring one thousand
So guild also followed his army they are responsible for the preparation after the treaty is signed.
His wife on the other hand is escorting Lady Arianna to the eting place. His wife and the Lady has so fondness for each other and beco friends
Lisa, Kyle and West have been instructed to guard the Lady with their life and surely the Princess will find no fault in my treatnt of her, whether in the care of her foods or accommodation, or the matter of her security.
Arial et the lady before and she is a very anable person.
Commander Brooke, now the commander of the Wall who once serve as one of the peacekeeper in the city, promoted to such important post, owing to his passion and dedication for the city, is tasked to escort them with courteous manner and to give them honors deserving of Kings.
He has long inford about the arrival of these esteed guest from the East Sea and everyone is in the know
Arial emphasizes that all of the people present in the eting must be courteous and respectful.
This is a day that would be rembered in history. And he would not let it be rembered as a failure.
His Watchers must also maintain manners and be courteous and accommodating
He reminded them countless of ti.
The first ti since the Ages of Gods, the era where Levitia reign all under the sky, a demon will pass the Wall that is constructed by the Great Savior to keep them out from Human Continent
This is like a symbolic tearing down of walls. Thus, no failure would be tolerated.
This is the new path Arial has been thinking about. A path of peace and prosperity. Though he did not forget the antic of Mikael.
He is a demon and he managed to enter the Human Continent.
He had pass undetected because of his speed of mind and his fast wit in tricking the guard before his family truly gained full control of the Wall.
If at that ti, it was his Watcher that guard the Wall, he might not have been able to enter. Or he might still manage considering how tricky and smart he is.
Now any in or outs of the Wall is strictly watched, inspected but after the treaty Arial expect to see Demonkind to roam around Acro as trade opportunity is abound for both continent.
Their eting place has been decided to be Dagur Hill after exchanging letters of acquaintance with the Dark Prince countless of tis.
The Dark Prince agreed to it and he signed on it. Preparations have been made to receive them since that day.
It is evident to Arial that the Dark Prince has settled his matter and has co to claim his bride and marry her.
Such desires have been expressed in his letters.
Arial believes that after hearing him get married with Helia, Azrael also seems to want to marry her bride.
He even enclosed another letter stating his deepest apologies for not attending.
Arial will be waiting on them in the Hill to sign the treaty, a mont of history that will be rembered, one that he did not expect in participating.
It almost seems like a dream to him now. And now he is a part of history of this world. Such treaty would be rembered for ages to co.
Arial always wanted in his childhood to have his na carved in histories, to lead an era like Levitia leads the Ages of Gods
He might have remove such notion of chivalry and fantasy as he experiences hardship and despair but he would be lying to himself if he said he does not feel anything now.
Now, that he is in the precipice of changing the world.
His objectives have always been trying to change history but now coincidentally he beca a part of that history.
A new history he mused as he co down from that wall

DAGUR HILL
ARIAL VERMONT
The cool air in high places, he mused. Though it is not so high compared to other Hills, these Hill hold sacred importance and legends and myths are associate here.
This is Dagur Hill
The site of the birth of the great hero companion, Alan Gerhardt.
The stories go, nine months after the birth of Levitia, the Gerhardt's bore a son in this Hills, hiding from Demon Lords blessed by the stars and the forest for it is said that these forces of nature aid in hiding both of the families, from the peering eye of the Demon army.
And that is why he have chosen this site to mark this montous event
The Great Savior Levitia signs his treaty at the Holy Land but Arial chose this place not only because it is not far away from his castle, but it also serves to be rember for posterity that it was his family that have seek peace and sign such treaty in the land of his birth.
One may speak of such notion as befitting the sin of pride but even he is fond to be acknowledged.
Arial and his entourage arrived at the Hill as dusk is setting.
The light of the sun is slowly fading, the shadows began creeping and in the distance what is left of the sunlight shines brightly and full with vibrant colors, red, orange yellow, everything is slowly darkening to purples.
Arial sit on the stone chair and then look at the stone table admiring the work of the mason.
A month ago he had commissioned a work to the guild ordering them to build a stone table with ten chairs, one on the side their back facing west, eight chairs on the other side, the back of the chairs must face the east.
'My lord' the voice greeted Arial. And he imdiately recognizes the voice.
Arial quickly rise from the stone chair and bowed slightly.
'Princess' Arial exclaid
Beside her is his wife. Arial look at the Princess. She looked into the horizon, no doubt waiting to see his fianc. He glances again and look at the Princess.
Her beauty is truly unparalleled.
He loves Helia, this is not sothing that erode his love to her, but if he were to compare both of these ladies, in terms of beauty and nothing else, Lady Arianna would surely prevail.
She had blue eyes, almost bluer than him, a big sparkling eye, curious of everything and she possess a certain innocence, like the White Stag of legends, her skin is white like the first snow of winter, almost appearing as translucent, no doubt because of her High Elf ancestry and she possess an exotic beautiful long black hair, straight and silky bestowing her with contrasting beauty.
Graceful in her movent and kind in her words, there is no virtue that she lacked, no fault to be found, the perfect lady and wife.
No wonder, the demon prince was enraged when he lost her in the original tiline. She will prove to be a most good influence in his husband temper. Arial thought to himself
From a distance Arial suddenly hear hooves and neighing of horse thanks to his enhanced sense since he slowly learned to control his internal energy.
He averts his gaze from the Lady and look toward the source of that sound.
And like he had predicted, a few monts later one of his scouts arrived to him and inform him of the crowds that co climbing the Hill.
Arial return to the stone table one on his side, nine on the other side.
Out of the many chairs on the other side there is one chair that is big enough that it resembles the size of a house.
That is created solely to accommodate the Giant race representative
The Princess heard the news and she was overjoyed and even most of the human nobles unwittingly also infected with such euphoria of the Princess.
Her power to influence people is almost like magic by itself.
'Please take a seat, Princess.' Arial gestures to her
'No' she shakes her head.
'I will stand and wait for my sun' she said and she looked expectantly toward the hill path. Arial nodded
Night is slowly coming so Arial servant slowly lighted the torch and the candles
The air is cooling, as night descends. But the area around the stone tables is fill with chatter of the nobles and clergyman waiting for the Dark Prince to co.
The King on the other hand has set up themselves on the tents that his servants have set up.
They are waiting to see the demon race, one that they only heard in songs or read in so dusty book in their old family library.
His servants are also preparing the tent with so food for a light feast after the signing of the treaty which will then comnced in his castle after the light feast here.
Nighthopper and night bugs begin their chirping and the croaking of the frog could be heard in the distance but the ambience of the light denoting the presence of many n deter such creature to co near the assembly.
As Helia approached him, his servant brings out a chair. Helia smiles and then slowly take her seat beside him
She touched his hand and squeeze it.
'Yes, dear' He instinctively said as his mind were wandering
'Why did you not make another chair?' she asked. Arial could see her expression even under the dim light. He understands what she ans.
'I never intended for you to follow. There is always danger in gatherings like this and I could not let anything happen to you' he said diplomatically
'Humph' she sulked.
'I'll make it later, how about that?' And with that her smile returns and a quarrel with her is averted.
The breeze and airy dusk this evening is comforting to the spirit and lift nervousness of such important event.
From the distant a flickering light climb the hill and more and more torches can be seen. A large man, no he thoughts as that silhouette grows bigger and taller.
A towering person can be seen. That is a giant and so of troops tensed and the chatter stopped.
The Demonkind have arrived!
