When Elijah and Yalli walked to the gates, both guards standing next to it had tense expressions. Being celestials how could they not feel how scary was the technique used by this golden-haired man. Not having any understanding of ti laws, they would not know what really happen just that a man without any cultivation summoned countless shadows and killed the rcenaries.
Seeing he was approaching, the first guard turned to his friend."Yoit, have you seen anyone fighting like that? I thought only paragons and saints could summon creatures."
Step by step, Elijah slowly walked towards the gate. By the ti he arrive both he and Yalli took their AI's and showed to the guards who released a light shriek before assuming a respectful instance to Elijah. The respect close to adoration the void clan felt for the ti clan was sothing Elijah only understood by the ti he arrived. And while those two guards were on the lowest stage of the tenth step, they would certainly know a thing or two like how nas worked making them reach the sa answer.
'Just like our clan, those with "Ry" in their nas are all those with the highest ranks in their clan. Like how our royal family has the nas beginning with "Ya".
"Master Ryn please enter. The city is about to have its annual tournant starting in two days so you choose a good ti to arrive." Both guards received Elijah and Yalli warmly and the gates easily open for them. Inside the city Elijah stared at the sky and saw that huge do around it had vanished and replaced by a beautiful purple sky. In terms of size Eternia was really small, the size of valhalla academy's dormitories, yet using expansed dinsion and pocket spaces, its true size was bigger than the eyes could see.
Right at the center of the city, a huge silver palace stood out from all other buildings in the area with a single bridge connecting the frontal garden to the entrance. Heading streight the front garden, several n and won all with the dense aura of void laws were standing on the garden's entrance. They wore the sa silver-black uniform made of pure void energy, from the back of those people, a female wearing a slightly different uniform from the others with a purple scale armor with silver lines over her uniform stared at Elijah and Yalli approaching figure and she maintained her expression for a second before recovering. The way she look at Yalli also changed as she recognized his identity.
Before the two could even get closer, the female guard stepped forward embracing the slightly startled Yalli. "Yalli! When I heard your father's position was taken I was worried you would have been taken by Yilk and his rcenaries. Oh, it seems you also completed your first transformation and beca a female now, at least only the first transformation is uncontrollable. The few next would only happen when your present bodies dies."
"I know sis Yassia, but sis is the captain of this branch of the royal guard, you shouldn't act like this in front of your subordinates."
"Oh? Yes, I forgot..." Realizing what she did when not only her subordinate, but the whole city could see her, her face gained a hint of red before releasing her embrace.
Elijah stood by the side with a smile on his face watching the two forr acquaintances enjoy their reunion for a mont. Even since he left the cultivation path out of despair, he gained a even greater understanding and appreciation of life. Maybe because everything was easy in this tiline, the present him was going to a path where life ant nothing to him, he grew arrogant and felt like others were insignificant to him only to understand how important and precious life really was when he faced the feeling of powerless and complete despair before a really powerful being.
He still had the souls of those who cosmos turned into primal beasts and now he was thinking of how to repay them for their loss as well as the souls of those rcenaries from before. "I think I understanding now why "he" is doing all of this... Why this power was given to and why i won't let all of this be taken."
Every soul had their destiny set in stone the mont they are born, in the long path of life countless doors will open that will lead to different reaction and results. So may achieve greatness early in their path then find death soon after or have a diocre start before a sudden rise in the future. However all of them shared the sa common fate, death. And he was no different.
"Ryn, Ryn..." When he returned to reality Elijah saw Yalli pulling his sleeve while pouting. She had been calling his na for five minutes without answer and she was already getting angry.
"I'm sorry." Elijah raised the corner of his lips in a embarrassed smile. He truly lost himself in his own thoughts. Petting her short hair with his hand, he turned his vision to the female captain.
"So little brat wouldn't you introduce to this elder sister of yours?" Yalli shaked his hand away with her face fully red while Yassia laughed at the side. It has been a few days since this cousin of hers beca a female and is already so girlish in the way she reacted and moved.
"Can you stop touching my head, it tickles." Stomping on the ground angrily, she rushed to hide behind Yassia. "The woman in front of you is Yassia, my cousin and current captain of the royal guard in the city of Eternia. Sis, this man here is my saviour, you can call him Ryn."
"Ryn? Ti clan?"
Gving a slight bow, Elijah stood a few ters away."Correct, it's a pleasure to et captain Yassia."
He was sowhat vulnerable at the mont and he knew being too close to soone with such intense and powerful energy could be harmful to him. Truth be told any of the rcenaries from before could defeat him if they ignored his strange powers and attacked from the start, he was just acting powerful after all, if a single attacked before he could use the shadow of ti, he would be disabled at least.
"No, there is no need for formalities, call Elder sis like this brat over here. So why are the two of you here today, the palace is closed for the ti being as there is going to have a huge baquet with the leaders of the greatest factions all here. No even I can enter the palace, it seems they are going to have an important matter to discuss. I recomnd finding a lodging to stay quickly, all the places will be crowded because of the tournant, as for mister Ryn I believe it will be easy to find a room in the ti clan embassy."
The mont the two heard this, they expressions worsened. It seems it won't be easy to enter the palace. Yalli also look surprised by the news. "Really? We have sothing really important to inform, Ryn ca all the way here for it."
Yassia understood the way she felt but she had to shook her head. "I'm sorry but rules are rules. Even with the ti clan behind you, I was told no one can enter the palace before the banquet, though I still believe you have a chance."
Their expression brightened when hearing this. Seeing the way they looked at her like puppies that saw water for the first ti in weeks, she explained: "I said there is a chance, nothing is really certain. For this tournant, one of the prizes for first place is a invite to participate in the banquet. However I should warn first that the this year's tournant is a team battle of four vs four and the new team enrollnt ended four days ago."
From the way she said it, they don't have any chance to participate in the tournant, but they were still confused to why she said they had a chance. "From what i heard the is a single team with only two mbers. I rember their nas being Ava and Evelynne, both 8th realm divine cultivators participating in the mortal tournant, you two can try to see if they can accept you, then if you win, your entrance to the palace is certain."
