As Kent and Aunt Eila flew high in the sky atop the mystical bird, the world below shrank to a distant blur. The air was crisp, and the horizon stretched endlessly before them.
“Kent,” Eila began, her voice steady yet gentle, “your mother sent me to fetch you. You won’t be able to return to this place for a long time. So, do you have any unfinished work?” Eila asked while controlling the mystical beast.
Eila slowed the bird, its wings beating more leisurely as they glided through the sky. Kent thought for a moment, his mind racing through the memories of his friends and his master. He sighed, taking out his sky orb, a device that shimmered with a faint blue light.
“I need to contact my master first,” Kent said, focusing on the orb. His fingers danced over its surface, and a soft chime indicated the call was connecting.
The face of Peak Master Porus appeared on the orb, his eyes widening with perplex. He thought, it will take another two weeks to vanish the inheritance ground. “What happened?”
Kent smiled, the divine disc revolving behind his head catching the light and reflecting its brilliance. “Master, I received the Storm God inheritance. It’s… incredible. Now, I’m with my aunt. Where were you?
I couldn’t find you at the gathering.”
Porus’s eyes sparkled with pride. “How…!” Porus couldn’t believe the news for a second. But the attire and divine disc behind Kent head spoke everything. “That’s awesome, I will inform the patriarch right away! You’ve truly achieved something remarkable. It’s really a pride for our Eternal Sun Sect.”
Kent nodded, his expression turning serious. “Master, I wanted to let you know that I’m leaving with my Aunt Eila. I won’t be able to return for a long time.”
Porus frowned slightly. “Leaving? For what?”
Before Kent could respond, Eila leaned closer, her presence calm and reassuring. “I’m his aunt. You don’t need to worry about him. I promise Kent will be safe. He will return by the time of Beast Spirit Gathering at the War God Temple.”
Porus looked at Eila, his face softening with understanding. “I see. Very well. Be careful on your journey.”
Kent’s eyes glistened with emotion. “Thank you, Master. Without your help, I couldn’t have achieved the storm God inheritance. I’ll indebted to you for my entire life.”
Porus smiled warmly. “You don’t need say it. By the way, me and your friend Fatty were staying in Divine Moon City and Fatty is training in chariot riding. He is doing this for you and he will be ready for immortal beast gathering.”
Kent chuckled, the image of his chubby friend bringing a smile to his face. “Tell Fatty I’ll be back and that he better be ready for a war when I return.”
Porus laughed. “Very well. The path you’re on is one of great destiny. Don’t lose sight of who you are.”
Kent nodded, a lump forming in his throat. “I won’t, Master. Thank you for everything.”
As the call ended, Eila looked at Kent with a knowing smile. “You have strong ties here. It’s good to see.”
Kent sighed, a mix of emotions swirling within him. “Yeah, I do. Aunt Eila, can we go to the Eternal Sun Sect? I need to see few important personas of my life before we leave.”
Eila smiled warmly. “Of course. I understand how important this is to you.”
She deftly maneuvered the bird, and with a command, it sped up, their path now directed toward the Eternal Sun Sect.
Before they could pick up full speed, Eila glanced back and noticed Mohini trailing behind on her black serpent beast, Lambu. She gave Mohini a reassuring nod, acknowledging their silent escort.
Within hours, they arrived at the teleportation hall, the arcane runes glowing with a soft light as they activated. The journey through the portals was swift, and before long, they reached the gates of the Eternal Sun Sect.
Eila stopped the bird gracefully in the skies of sect’s barrier. “I’ll wait here for you. Quickly finish off your business and meet me here.” she said, her voice filled with gentle encouragement.
Kent nodded gratefully. “Thank you, Aunt.”
He mounted his Storm God throne, the magnificent golden throne pulsating with divine energy, and flew over the barrier into the sect. He intended to surprise the girls, his heart beating with excitement and anticipation.
As he approached his dorm, however, he noticed a familiar figure standing at the entrance.
It was Amelia, and she looked different. Her entire body was healed up already and she is looking in great shape. Her eyes lit up with an inner glow as if sensing Kent’s presence. Her intuition had led her to wait outside.
When she saw the flying throne approaching, with Kent seated on it, her eyes widened with joy and relief. She almost jumped in excitement, her voice breaking the stillness of the evening.
“You’re back!”
The commotion drew the attention of Sophia and Lucy, who were inside the dorm. They rushed out, their faces lighting up with a mix of surprise and happiness upon seeing Kent. Explore more stories at empire
“Kent!” Sophia exclaimed, her voice filled with emotion. “We thoughtyou won’t be coming back till one month!”
Lucy’s eyes sparkled with tears. “What happened? How did you manage to come back so quickly?”
Kent descended from the throne, his feet touching the ground with a soft thud. He embraced Amelia first and took note of her regained cultivation. “I’m back, but I need to leave soon. I actually came to say goodbye.”
Amelia clung to him, her voice trembling. “What are you saying? Where were you going now?.”
Kent pulled back slightly, his eyes searching hers. “My aunt came for me. After many years, I’m going to meet my mother for the first time. It is a long journey. So, I will be back before the immortal spirit gathering.”
The three girls clung to him unwillingly. As Kent spoke about his mother, they couldn’t ask him to stay few more days.
