_A few minutes before the rise of the Black Dragon Nazareth_

Inside the coffee shop, Lory is sitting in the corner, her hand is busy typing on the laptop, no one recognizes her because she wears a wide hoodie and glasses with a thick frame that covers her face. The young waitress came with a tray "Your order miss, Sweet mochaccino with extra cream and macaroons" she confirms the order.

​​

Lory lift her head and response with the same politeness "Yes, Thank you"

After the waitress left, Lory lifts the mug and takes a sip, the sweetness engulfs her tongue make her feel energizes. Lory licks the leftover cream on her lips then she takes off her glasses while gazing outside the giant window beside her with an inexplicable look.

in a blink of an eye is already a year since she left Harland, and her father, she wonders if her father angry with her or perhaps disappointed, she bites her lower lips as sadness slowly creeping into her heart, she let out a long sigh.

Lory has been wandering around for a year follow one clue to another she is searching for any clue about anything that mentions Lucient, or God's sword, she searches for anything that could give her a better understanding of the connection between God's sword, Lucient and the prophecy itself, it was a long shot but she can't give up, not when she got this far.

She's been trying to locate the ancient library for weeks the rumor said that the library contains the history of the beginning of the first civilization starting at the age of God to the beginning era of Lucient, something that could not find even at the Harland royal library. The problem is she didn't know where the library location is or if the library truly exists.

"Lory, something is coming" Girsha suddenly speaks through their telepathy connection.

"What….your period?" Lory giggle.

"Shut up, I'm being serious here!"

Hear the distress in Girsha's voice Lory stop joking she closes her laptop then her gaze swept the street to see what happened but everything seems normal "What is it…?"

"I don't know, something big is happening!" Girsha said anxiously.

Soon the floor suddenly shaking, the mochaccino mug on her table tremble then fall and crash on the floor, Lory raised abruptly knowing something serious is happening, she quickly put the laptop back to her bag then she runs outside the coffee shop just like everybody else.

People were running and screaming frantically while the road on the street begin to cracked and few street signboards falling one by one like a domino and hit the car below.

The sound of people screaming, the car screeching and loud honk mix in total chaos, Lory watched in awed, smoked and dust flat in the air, suddenly Lory saw a school bus stop in the middle of the street and small children got out from the bus with the help of one teacher and from above a giant billboard fall towards them.

The teacher can only scream and hold her student in fright, they waiting for the inevitable crash but after five seconds nothing happens, the female teacher slowly look up and then she saw a woman with bluish hair stand on the top of the bus, she raised her right hand to the air and transparent purple shield engulf them like a dome.

The billboard broke into pieces when it touches the transparent shield then safely crumble beside them, Lory look down to make sure no one hurt before she jumps from the top of the bus "Are you okay?" she runs towards the dumbfounded teacher and students.

"Princess….Princess Lorient!" the teacher gasped in shock and excitement.

Lory realizes her hoodie is falling behind her back, this country is far from Harland she surprised the citizen still recognize her. "Um…yes" Lory smile awkwardly.

"Thank you for saving us!" The teacher grabs her hand in gratitude.

"No problem, is anyone hurt? You better take them to hide in the subway" Lory kindly reminds her, her calm voice make the teacher more relax.

"No, no one hurt, is anyone hurt?" the teacher make sure again. The children shake their head but their face is pale from fright. Lory feel sorry for them.

Not long after she heard the sound of sirene from afar, it's the sounds of the medic vehicle, it means the help has arrived.

"Go, hurry!" Lory prompted

"Thank you, your highness, god bless you!" she shouted at Lory before she leads her student to a safe place.

Lory sighs in relief because none of the children hurt. Lory then helps other people who still stuck in the car "Get out of the street!" Lory yells to everyone who still lost from shock, Lory loud voice awakes them from a stupor, immediately they all run in haste.

Suddenly a man with a military uniform pulls Lory's shoulder roughly "Miss, get out from here, this place is dangerous!" he reprimands her sternly.

Before Lory could answer the earth was shaken again and the rumbling sounds gradually closer, Lory look ahead of her with a wary look, the young army man grip his weapon his eyes bulged, panic and anxiety apparent on his face but as a soldier, he can't let himself to cower from the threat.

Above them dozens of jet flew with loud buzzing sounds, Lory looks above her knowing the air force has come then eight metes mech war machine suddenly appears behind her follow by infantry carry heavy weapons in their arms. The soldier helps the citizen to their safety while lory looking at them calmly.

The soldier who was warned Lory before shouted at her again "You, follow them!"

Lory smile at him with her hands hide inside her jacket pocket.

"BEAST TIDE!"

From afar the black dot gradually becomes clear, hundreds if not thousands of beast running towards them and that's not all hundreds of flying beast flew in the sky. The soldier's face lose their color, most of them only heard about Beast tide but never saw it with their own eyes.

"There something wrong about the beasts," Girsha said.

"Really, the beast tide itself already feel wrong" Lory sigh.

"No, not just that….I feel dark miasma from them…"

"All of them?" Lory frowned, contrary to people though, Dark miasma is not something common that could pop out everywhere, it takes a certain situation and a powerful dark mage to created black miasma.

"Captain what should we do?" the young soldier trembles in fear.

The older captain who got more experience remain calmed "Put the citizen safety as a priority, close the subway gate and tell HQ we need back up A.S.A.P!" the captain shouted.

"Yes, Sir!" the soldier saluted then immediately use the military transmission phone to contact their superior.

Meanwhile, the captain finally notices a young woman who leans on the wrecking car "Missy, you need to leave this place!"

The smile still plastered on her face, she calmly tied her hair then take off her jacket and put it inside her backpack, she walks towards them calmly "Can you hold it for me? thank you" she shoved her backpack to one of the soldiers near the jeep.

"Hey missy!" the captain shouted angrily.

The beast is getting closer, the mech raised their giant Gatling gun and the soldier hastily run into a combat formation, she put on her black glove without hurry while walk toward the horde of the beast and say: "Don't worry captain"

"Hey, are you lost your mind!" The captain scream frantically, as a soldier it was his job to protect civilians n matter how crazy they are. The captain dash towards her then all of a sudden she opened her palm and white light appear and transform into a silver staff, she swings the staff again and it transforms into a silver sword.

The captain halted his step abruptly before he calms from his shocked a giant white wing appear behind the woman's back and block his vision, she turns her head around and winks in jest "I got this!"

She bends her knee slightly then soar to the sky, leaving the trail of floating dust behind, meanwhile everyone including the captain watched with a jaw-dropping expression.

"Lo….Princess Lorient" the captain flabbergasted.

"Who?" the young soldier from before asked innocently.

His friend smacks the back of his head "Princess Lorient of Harland, the descendant of King Lucient, did you never study at all?" he gritted his teeth exasperatedly. Only people who live under the rock who never heard Lucient name.

The young soldier widens his eyes in shock "You mean Lucient as King Marcus Lucient of Harland – THAT LUCIENT?"

"Is there any other Lucient in the world?" he scoffed at his friend.

"SON OF A BIT…."

"Listen up, turn out we got back up, now move forward!" the captain shouted cut the soldier cursed. "Let's show the Lucient Princess how strong we are!"

"YEAHHHH!"

As if they were infused by chicken blood everyone got excited, fighting with the legendary Lucient is like a dream of every soldier in the world and to witness God's power with their own eyes is something remarkable, live or die their family would talk about this for the rest of their life, one day they all would say proudly to their friend and family that there once a time that they family fight with the descendant of the first king, the true king of all King,
