Legacy of the Betelgeuse

It's morning and I'm on the balcony drinking a cup of hot coffee and smoking while enjoying the morning sunlight and breeze. I have heard about Kingstar and the others mentors, and they should have become a disciple by now and doing their disciple quests. I haven't heard their reaction about what I did yesterday, and I hope they're not going to hunt me down for that since it will be a pain in the ass. I also heard about The Wanderers or the Fallen Heroes from Ivonna, and that's quite interesting that there are so many heroes that live and do whatever they want. What interest me more is that Aspen is going to find those Wanderers and become one of their disciples, I have no idea what kind of quests he would receive since Ivonna said those Wanderers are not really good people.

Someone is sliding the balcony door, I look back and it's Ivonna. She looks at me and waves at me, she then sits next to me.

"Good morning, Trev."

I nod and immediately put out the smoke since I don't want her to inhale them.

"Good morning."

Ivonna tilts her head and points her finger at the smoke.

"Why are you putting out the smoke? I'm fine if you want to smoke, I'm used to be in the same room with Chelsea and her friends that are smokers, so you don't have to worry about it."

I shake my head.

"Just because you're used to it, that doesn't mean you have to. So, are you going to play now to find the right mentor for you?"

Ivonna is humming.

"I'm planning to, but when I saw you out here, I guess it can wait."

I raise my eyebrows.

"Oh? What's up?"

Ivonna is humming while thinking.

"Back when you were playing with Becker, how far were you compared to now? And, did Ezira take you as her disciple as well?"

I'm leaning on the chair and look at her.

"Back then, I can say that the Orion is already in chaos. The three sovereignties were at war almost every day, and they would take anyone without exception to help them to win the war. Once I had enough with those three sovereignties and knowing almost everything about them from Becker, we decided to move on and left to explore the Orion. The further I was, the more things that were more important than just the three sovereignties. I can't tell you the detail, but I was pretty far away that even you guys playing every day for a year, you won't be able to catch up to my progress."

I take a sip of my coffee.

"And for your second question, to tell you the truth, this is my first time entering the Land of Sigrid as well, so I have nothing on me. That's why I chose this new path because I want to know more about the Land of Sigrid. Becker also told me that the game is no longer the same as before, so you know what that means."

Ivonna is humming with understanding and then she tucks her hair behind her ear. I raise my eyebrows while smiling because this is the first time she's tucking her hair and showing her scar that is barely visible.

"Oh? You're tucking your hair now."

Ivonna smiles and looks at me.

"Thanks to you, I think I will start to be a bit more confident with myself. The only person who knows about my scar is Chessi and Francesca, now you also know about it."

I start to remember last night's conversation with her and I immediately feel embarrassed.

"Oh god... I'm so sorry for being rude to you last night... I was quite drunk..."

Ivonna chuckles and shakes her head.

"It's okay, I'm happy and flattered when you said that to me."

It immediately becomes awkward, and I have nothing to say to her. Ivonna stands up and stretches her arms while untucking her hair, she then looks at me.

"I think I'm going to play now, and I need to calm the community a bit since you're still on the hot topic right now."

I nod.

"I'm sorry for burdening you and the others."

Ivonna smiles and shakes her head.

"It's fine. We are going to be fine, but not you though."

Ivonna chuckles and then immediately leaves the balcony. I look at her with disbelief and scoff while shaking my head.

(In the game)

Ivonna enters the Land of Sigrid and is on her way to the tower, but then she stops and immediately hides behind the tree. She looks at Aspen with something in his hand that looks like a scroll going towards the tower. She looks at the far right and sees the vast land and mountains, she believes that Aspen came from there. She wants to investigate that area, but she doesn't have the confidence to go there on her own.

Aspen enters the tower and then she walks toward the tower and waits for quite a while before she enters. She doesn't want to be suspected by him or to be precise, she doesn't want to meet him in there because she knows about what Trevor did to the Headless Cult, and she knows that Aspen is furious about it.

After Ivonna waits for quite a while, she enters the tower. She looks around and it seems that Aspen is not around, but she needs to make sure and check her friendlist. Aspen is still in the Land of Sigrid, she walks toward the middle of the first floor while looking around and hopes that she doesn't stumble across Aspen.

"Looking for someone?"

Ivonna turns around and Aspen is staring at her with a blank expression. Ivonna shakes her head.

"No, I was just checking how beautiful this place is even though I have already been here for days."

Aspen is humming while keep staring at her.

"Yeah, I can agree with that, but you should check the places outside the tower. You will be amazed by what you will see out there."

Ivonna raises her eyebrow while keeping her calm.

"Oh? Maybe I will check it later with the others."

Aspen smiles and nods, but then he tilts his head.

"Oh, speaking of the others. Have you heard about what happened in the Orion yesterday? I saw you were offline for quite a while so I guess you should have known about it, right?"

Ivonna starts to feel uncomfortable with the words he says and the way he looks at her. Ivonna then nods in agreement.

"Yes, I have read and seen the video of Trevor."

Aspen nods and still staring at her.

"So, do you know why he did that? You were all staying in the same mansion, right?"

Ivonna shakes her head.

"I don't know the detail, but yes. It seems that he received a quest from his mentor and that was what he doing back then."

Aspen smiles.

"Hm... I see. Alright then, how about you? Have you found the mentor you want?"

Ivonna shakes her head.

"No, this is why I'm here right now to find one."

Aspen nods.

"Good luck then..."

Aspen then walks past Ivonna, but then he turns around with a fake smile.

"Oh, can you tell Trevor that I want to see him?"

Ivonna raises her eyebrows.

"I could, but I think he will log in soon."

Aspen keeps smiling and then he nods.

"Oh, okay then. See you later, Ivonna."

Ivonna nods, then Aspen leaves.

Ivonna takes a deep breath and exhales deeply while keep staring at Aspen. A few footsteps are coming from behind Ivonna. A soothing woman's voice is calling her name from behind.

"Ivonna Ivon."

Ivonna turns around and she's surprised to see Eveth and 5 women standing behind her, and one of them looks familiar to her. Ivonna then bows her head and looks at Eveth.

"Lady Eveth? Is there something that you need?"

Eveth is smiling and slightly nodding.

"Yes. Can we have a talk? That is if you are not busy of course."

Ivonna nods.

"Yes, lady Eveth."

Eveth opens a portal beside her and she's pointing her hand at the portal.

"Let us have a talk in my place."

Ivonna nods and then she walks into the portal with Eveth and the others are following her from behind.

Ivonna leaving the portal and she looks at a majestic and massive temple in front of her. Everything here is white, the pillars and the buildings are all white. The temple is surrounded by a garden of hundreds types of flowers planted there and a huge lake not far from the temple. She looks around and is overwhelmed by the scenery, and then Eveth stands next to her.

"This is my place. A place where all the Saintess of the Orion is living. Please follow me, Ivonna Ivon."

Ivonna nods and enters the temple with Eveth. She looks at thousands of women around the temple with a smile on their faces. She then looks at the huge circle building in front of her and then Eveth walks up the stairs and turns around.

"Come in."

Ivonna nods and walks up the stairs and enters the building.

This place looks like a chamber and there's a throne at the end of the room and there's a very long table that hundred of people can sit around it. Eveth then sits on one of the chairs, she's pointing her hand at the chair in front of her. Ivonna nods and sits in front of Eveth.

Eveth looks at one of the Saintesses.

"Miriam, can you bring us tea and something for Ivonna Ivon to eat?"

Ivonna knew that she looks familiar, and turns out she's Miriam. She becomes a young and beautiful lady here that Ivonna barely recognizes because of how beautiful she is. Eveth then looks at Ivonna.

"Ivonna Ivon, before I go to the reason why I'm inviting you here, can you tell me who is that man that was with you back then? I know that he is one of the heroes, but I forgot his name."

Ivonna raises her eyebrows.

"Oh? His name is Aspen."

Eveth looks at the Saintess behind her then she nods. All of them are bowing and then leave the temple. Eveth clears her throat and looks at Ivonna.

"Well then, let me tell you the reason why I am Inviting you here."

Eveth smiles and pressing her hands on her chest.

"Ivonna Ivon, do you want to be my Disciple?"
