Nameless King

Wain and Gisle were in a spatial rift as there was only boundless darkness around them.

"Huh, that's amazing, I can't even remember the last time I was this nervous." Gisle uttered in an excited manner.

"Well, I hope all goes well. Aurora is the only one of the Fifth Chronicle who can help us in the event of an attack." Wain said as his ring glowed.

A purple amulet with Aurora's symbol appeared in his hand. Human World was not Void, for it was a separate space that did not obey the rules of the World of Darkness, but was connected to it, so to get there he needed something special.

Wain closed his eyes, squeezed the amulet, and released his energy. The dark currents mixed with the purple ones that emanated from the amulet and gradually turned into a narrow passage, just a big crack.

"Damn... That's not even a gateway, that's a real portal. Ah, if we could separate from the world too, it would be incredible. Only with security could we plan for development without the distraction of constant external problems." Gisle uttered while shaking her head in a frustrated manner.

"Going forward. Last Light has grown considerably in these few months, but it's time for you to see where it's worth striving for." Wain said as he approached the portal.

"Ah? You know that developing cities are more complex than winning a few battles, right? It takes the efforts of thousands of people to make that kind of progress." Gisle uttered as he spread his arms apart.

"Maybe you're right, but in order for those thousands of people to have that opportunity, someone strong has to win a few battles first. In this case, strength provides the most valuable resource that cannot be obtained any other way - time." Wain said with a serious look before entering the portal.

"Damn... Is it just me, or has he finally taken an interest in the development of Last Light? His words make sense. Well, I hope this trend continues." Gisle smiled as he followed Wain.

Whooooooooooooosh.

They found themselves on a massive stone platform overlooking the hills and mountains in the distance.

"What...? What is this?" Gisle muttered with a dazed look while staring at the magical circle below him.

"A portal. There are quite a few here." Wain said in a calm voice.

"Yeah... It would be nice if we could set one up in Last Light, it would help us a lot." Gisle uttered as he looked up, then he was petrified.

He was stunned by the sight of the huge city in the center was a huge statue of a man in a long cloak and a crown on his head.

"No way... This place has been here all this time...?" Gisle muttered while in disbelief, "Wain, damn it, you should have come running to Last Light as soon as you heard about this."

The portal that they used was special, it could only be used by people of supreme power, each arrival must be announced in advance, so now the guards headed toward them with menacing auras.

"Who are you?" One of them asked as his spear covered in scarlet flame.

"Oh, he's in Third Chronicle, right? That's not bad. Looks like they're not only ahead of us in development, but they're way ahead of us in strength." Gisle said with a curious look while examining the man as though he were a useful resource.

'Shit... This guy hasn't released his aura yet, but his look is so creepy... You can't expect anything good from those two.' The guard muttered inwardly as he shuddered and prepared for battle.

However, after a few seconds, all tension vanished as Wain showed them the purple amulet. The eyes of all the guards opened wide as they could not believe what they were seeing.

​ "Stay calm, we came here because we have the right to do so." Wain said in a confident manner before stepping forward.

As Wain's foot touched the ground waves of dark energy departed from him that as though ghosts wrapped around him like a veil.

"This amulet was given to me by Aurora, though you should have known that by now." Wain exclaimed with an ice-cold look.

The guards immediately put their weapons aside, calmed their auras, and leaned in a guilty manner.

"I'm sorry, we didn't know someone so important was coming today. May I have your name and that of your friend?" The head of the guards said in a respectful way.

"Wain Norheim and Gisle Enge." Wain said as he pointed at Gisle.

"It can't be... It's you... Miss Aurora asked me to bring you to her as soon as you showed up." The guard muttered while in disbelief.

"Fine. That's what's needed. Go ahead, show the way." Wain nodded.

...

They headed down the long corridor toward the main room in the castle, Aurora's chambers.

The guards were excited by Wain's appearance as they longed to see him, but they had a very different attitude toward Gisle. He was a stranger that evoked no confidence, only anxiety and a strange sense of danger.

"Here, Miss Aurora is expecting you." The sentinel said as he pointed to the tall doors that were more like gates, "It was an honor to meet you."

"Sure." Wain said briefly.

"Well, well, it looks like everyone here knows you." Gisle said with a sly smile on his face.

"Yeah... Aurora did something I didn't want to do, but it could hardly have been avoided." Wain sighed.

"This castle is so damn big, now I might get complexes. I need to enlarge my own right away." Gisle muttered while looking around.

"Okay, it's time for you two to finally meet. As strange as it sounds, today should be a great day for all mankind." Wain said with a serious look before opening the gate.

In the center of the room, at a large table sat a woman with long black hair while her amethyst eyes stared intently in their direction.

"Wain... You're finally back, and it looks like you brought someone curious..." Aurora muttered.
