Academy
==========
The siblings and Tieve arrived at the front door of the guild house.
The guild house had 5 floors and loud chatter could be heard outside.
As they entered the guild hall , there were atleast 80 people chatting , drinking , eating and playing board games.
The hall was really lively , Neo felt at ease because he thought the Sun sentinels would only had serious people , excluding Flax and Nau who were still asleep somewhere.
They walk toward the receptionist and took the stairs on the left to go on the 5th floor to see Ray.
Tieve-"Well my mission is concluded aslong you see master , so I will stay on my floor , good night Lady Cyel , Lady ria and little Neo hehe"
Neo-"*Is my name that funny..?*"
Cyel-"Good night miss Tieve and thank you for escorting us"
Ria-"Good night Tieve and let's go to -that- place together soon"
Tieve-"Okay Lady Ria , I will be available next week and we can go to -that- place"
Neo look at Cyel , with his *What is -that- * face
Cyel-"-that- Place is Ria's favorite spot in this entire kingdom , she always goes there but not alone because she would feel lonely hehehe what a cute little sister"
Ria-"What! I don't get lonely hmmp!"
Cyel-"But you were waiting for us back in Irk city hehehe"
Ria crossed her arms and went upstairs.
Cyel-"Let's go little Neo , don't be nervous , my father is a really playful person"
Cyel held Neo's hand and followed Ria upstairs.
At the door on the 5th floor , the siblings stood infront and held their fist up and poked the door open.
Neo stood aside to watch them opening the door in a weird way.
As soon the doors open , a black shadow quickly rush toward the sisters , got crashed onto their fist and rolled behind them crashing onto the wall with.
Neo-"*I feel bad for that person*"
Ria-"Neo , meet our father , Ray and the guild master of Sun sentinels"
Ria points at the maybe dead corpse with wounds all over his face.
Cyel-"Yup , sadly that's our father hehe"
Ray-"W..what .. Cyel what you mean sadly! how mean of you , father is going to go cry in his room now"
Cyel gave Ray a roundhouse kick , Ray spun atleast 10 times in the middle of the air like a rag-doll and crashed onto the floor.
Ray-"Inm swurry(Im sorry)"
Ray quickly got up , with blood coming out of his face , he looks around and see Neo.
Gasp
Ray-"Wooaw who is this cute child here? Could it be our new family ?"
Ria-"That's right , meet little Neo , isn't he cute hmmp"
Ray's eyes began to sparkle and quickly dash to Neo , in half a second he reaches Neo and the sisters prepared to launch a deadly attack.
Ray shook Neo's hand and said
Ray-"Little Neo right? it's nice to have a cute boy in our family hahahaha , as you know , I am Ray , but you can call me uncle Ray*good , nothing happened , I was afraid my daughters were going to hit me again*"

Cyel-Ria-"*Suspicious stare*"
Ray-"Well Neo , I took care of everything you need to enter the academy to become a Warriors right? and as for living expenses will be supplied by Cyel or Ria ok?"
Neo-"Uhm.. Yes.. Thank you uncle Ray.. I will become very strong and help out the guild"
Ray-"Hahahaha , Yes become a strong cuti- I mean Warrior! and you can call me , Best uncle Ray if you want *winks*"
~Smack~
Ray was sent deep into the walls.
Ray-"w...w...wh...why..."
~faints~
Cyel-"Well that settles it , little Neo will come live with me and Ria "
Ria-"Mhmm let's go home , I want to take a bath"
Neo-"Uhmm.. Ok..but what about uncle Ray?"
Ria-"Don't worry , he is just sleeping , let's go , I can't wait to show you around the house!"
As they got down to the hall ,Neo saw even more people coming in and none of them look like kids.
The youngest person in the guild is probably sister Ria , but she didn't graduate from the academy yet..*maybe she bullied uncle Ray until he let her join*O well what is the use knowing , I still have to graduate the academy and train hard.
The walk took about 30 minutes , Neo couldn't explore any shop because most of them were already closed since it's night times , bars were open and filled with older people.
Cyel-"Little Neo , this is our house , I mean what do you think of your new home?"
Neo look at the beautiful 3 story house , surrounded by a stone walls , the wall had a gate that led directly infront of the house's door , from where he stood , he could see trees rising up behind the wall and 2 front balcony from the 2nd and 3rd floor.
*Zooooooooom*
Neo suddenly heard a noise that came from every direction , he couldn't tell where the sound was coming from but he look at his sides then he look up and saw a red silhouette flying toward the academy.
Ria-"That was probably grandpa Lest right sister Cyel?"
Cyel-"Mhmm It has to be , school is starting soon so he came back early to prepare school affairs"
Neo was looking at Ria and Cyel when he heard the word grandpa
Ria-"Oh right , Neo , our grandpa is the chairman of the entire academy , he is a rank 1 mage hehehe amazed by our family? "
Ria couldn't stop smiling , showing her tooth
Cyel-"Mhmm , grandpa Lest is really kind and gentle compared to our father so I am sure little Neo will get along with grandpa"
Ria-"Hmmp sometimes I wonder if grandpa adopted father Ray"
Cyel-"Ria , don't say that , he is our father and the son of grandpa Lest , be nice to your elder atleast"
Ria-"B..but sister Cyel , father is never serious around us "
Cyel-"You just have to beat him until he is hehehe"

Neo-"*Poor uncle Ray*"
Neo puts his hand together and start praying
While they were chatting a house maid came to open the metal gate.
Welcome back home Cyel and Ria
Ria-"Were back May , were you lonely without us? hehehehe"
May-"No Ria , I am not a child anymore huhuhu"
Cyel and Ria walk through the gate with Neo behind them.
May-"O my , who is this young lady?"
Cyel-"That is our little brother , Neo , he will be living with us from now on"
May-"Wh..what? A boy? o my I am sorry Neo and welcome to your new home and I will take care of everything you need so don't hesitate to let me know okay?"
Neo-"Uhmm.. Thank you miss May and I will remember that"
May-"Just call me May please"
Cyel-"Oh that's right little Neo , this is our home so we decided to drop the honorific between us here"
Ria-"Mhmm that's right , we see May as our friend and so we feel more comfortable at home now"
Neo-"Okay sister Cyel , sister Ria and M..May"
Cyel-"Mhmm that's right , now let's all take a bath together"
Ria-"Together , you mean all of us , really?! not just sister Cyel and Neo?!"
Cyel-"huhuhu Of course , I mean what I said and May will join us too right?"
May-"I am sorry but I have to prepare supper"
He end up taking a bath with them , the bath was really big and fogs were flowing out of the water.
Ria told Neo that school would start in 2 month and they could attend together because they are both in primary grade while Cyel was in the last year of her high school.
The school looked exactly like a huge castle that form a inner circle in the kingdom, it was like a small kingdom itself because the school alone is atleast 5km from one end to another.
The castle was atleast 200 meters tall but Ria and Neo would still be close while they are at school.
Since they also live in the kingdom so they don't sleep in school dorms while many do.
Cyel on the other hand , her classes would be on the opposite side of the castle , she could go see Neo during school but by the times she get there she would run out of times since Cyel is a mage , she isn't a fast runner.
As they finish bathing , they went back inside the house and put some clothes on , Ria showed Neo his room , it was big and is on the 3rd floor , he had the side balcony for himself and it is also face toward the pool.
Ria pointed to a door right beside his and said
Ria-"Annnd that's my room , hehehe we are really close aren't we little Neo"
Neo-"*O noes , she said little Neo*"
Cyel and May room were on the 2nd floor , while the kitchen and living room were on the first.
The house was powered by a high rank beast crystal that their father got from his daily hunting , lamps were hang on walls , they were always radiating light even during day , in the kitchen there was a magic box that could heat up food and a white flat magic stone surface that could cook food.
After supper , the siblings were talking about what they should do when Neo joins the guild and so on.
After everyone felt asleep , as expected Cyel was in Neo's bed as usual.
Neo jumped down from his balcony and landed on the wall.
Neo is use to practice his magic during night and his routine during the day , for some reason he also notice ever since the ravine , he would never feel sleepy when he slept for atleast 2 hours.
He would sleep for the first 2 hours , Cyel would snuck in by then for the entire night he focus on his magic and when the moon was almost at the edge , he would do his routine training.
Neo jumped roof to roof , but after an hour of effort , he couldn't find anywhere else to train his magic secretly.
So he decide to venture outside the walls , but the gate were also close and he didn't want to bother the guards.
On the west side of the kingdom Neo stood by the manmade river that flown around the wall in the inside and look up the huge 50m wall.
Neo tried to jump but he could only reach half way of the wall , so he decided to climb it like he did in the ravine.
Sphere , 2 balls appeared and he held onto them with both hands turned black but it was difficult to hold the 2 big sphere
Wait.. why do I have to hold it.. why not just stand on it..
Neo just figured it out he was being silly so he let go of the balls and focused on something he could stand on and the simplest thing was a flat circle , he stood on it and look up.
As soon he was on top of the walls , he was really happy that he could transport himself like this , so after a thought , the sphere went straight forward the setting moon direction and as soon it reach it marked point B , the flat circle instantly halt and with nothing to grip on , It sent Neo flying off the circle.
As Neo was falling off 60m off the ground toward the forest around the walls he just kept laughing
Neo-"Hahahahahaha I thought of something new"
~~~
GBai-"Leila... dear .. I have to tell you something"
Leila whom was going to give birth in less than a month , she look at granny Bai's worried face and replied
Leila-"Y..yes.. granny Bai.. is there something wrong?"
GBai-"N..no.. nevermind.. I tell you after you give birth.."

*!* This story is currently being continued on a different page, following years of hiatus and extensive rewrites *!* Please follow the link to read the up-to-date version: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/53863/cycles-of-ruin Basil von Doom is a powerful dungeon keeper with a simple mission: to bring ruin and destruction upon civilized worlds at the height of their decadence and stagnation. Much like his father before him, the new master of House Doom is a prodigy of war, yet the venerable minions of his household still hold strange loyalties toward his missing ancestor, silently comparing the legendary rage of his father to the more pragmatic approach of the son. Adding to Basil’s frustrations is the lack of accomplishment he feels for his work, with the dungeon keeper often taking on handicaps just to give his enemies a fighting chance. With all the power and wealth one could ever dream of already within his grasp, Basil now finds that the achievements of others kindle more joy in his heart than his own crushing victories. Thus Basil has taken up mentoring the next generation of dungeon keepers to try and diagnose the cause for his own lack of passion. With his apprentice, Elnora, managing most of the daily work around the dungeon, Basil can finally turn his attention towards his personal concerns, such as tackling the shadow of his legendary father that still looms large over him.

8 200The Fall of The Gods
Synopsis: In the year 1966, an army of Orishas led by Sango stormed Amadioha’s palace and razed it the ground, starting a decades-long war between two of Nigeria’s most powerful divine orders. Blinded by the rage of battle, the gods did not detect the rise of a third power, far greater and deadlier than anything they could have imagined. When gods, on both the Yoruba and Igbo sides, begin falling mysteriously to their death, Sango seeks the help of Odion, a Lagos teenager destined to rise from his dark past to become a hero. But can a human hero save the gods from a doomed fate? The Fall of the Gods is an action-packed YA fantasy based on the mythical bond that ties human life with the realm of the divine. It demonstrates the power of stories to change our lives. It also reminds us that Sango and Amadioha are not relics of the past and that, sometimes, what it means to be a hero in today’s world is knowing how to find inspiration in the stories of the gods. PLEASE NOTE: Weekly chapters will be released every friday along with interludes once in a while about Nigerian mythology. I'm a young 17 year old writer and I am new to the site so I will appreciate your comments and reviews. Thank you very much.
