《The Blue Emperor》Chapter 2: Change and Memories
Advertisement
The king of Ederith was named Aden Ederith XIIIth of the name he is of a long line and inherited the throne ten years ago he is reputed for his wisdom and decisive personality, Rodin was a magician and his friend from when they were children he is also the prime minister and a fervent supporter of king Aden.
“Rodin I feel like the travelers this time are a bit different from the records?” said the king while curiously looking at XuLong and the others.
“Yes your majesty but I believe that the gods can’t be mistaken, I as a high magician feel their potential and I have never seen so much talent “
Roding looked at the students with a gaze filled with hope and expectations, it made them further confused.
“Well youngsters I know that you are confused and feel like you came to a foreign world, allow me to explain why you appeared and what is your purposes, first the Ederith kingdom is one of the many kingdoms that exists on the large continent of Aurelia or you can also call it the Red continent, we are a high-ranked kingdom and have a long history which is why we possess fragments of the ancient records , when you saw the city you found it peaceful but in fact the world that we live in is never peaceful and wars are a common thing , according to the records a major incident will happen every 6000 years that will endanger not only the resident of this world but also other planes and five years from now we will reach the due time six thousand years already passed and according to the ancient records … “ the king paused .
“But it still didn’t explain why we were summoned here” Miss Chen voiced her doubts.
The students hearing the words of the king felt completely submerged by the fantasy-like setting, all sorts of emotions invaded their minds, excitement, fear, worry …
“Which is why I will get to the point, the records mentioned that invaders will appear and sow discord and death in our world, those invaders are powerful and are wielding ancient magic that transcends common sense, but you also can ask why those invaders are not still here despite being terrible, well its now that your existence is essential, the records also mentioned a powerful help and that help is “travelers” I won’t say heroes or saviors because it’s too much of a burden for youngsters like you , travellers are beings from higher ranked worlds and similarly can wield ancient magic , all races and high tiered kingdoms and even in others continents have records of travellers appearing six thousand years ago and repelling the invaders , but …”
The king made a thoughtful expression, he appeared perplexed.
“But we are just students and normal people how can we battle with those invaders besides we have our families in our world that is surely worrying about us disappearing!” XuLong voiced the inner thoughts of all the students present including the teacher.
Their expressions suddenly crisped and all of them remembered their loved ones back in earth.
Some of the nobles made unpleasant expressions because of the impudent attitude of XuLong, but the king seemed to not care and on the contrary his expression became further complicated.
“Sigh …this is why I said it’s different this time, Rodin please explain to them “
“Yes your majesty, in the records the travellers who appeared already knew of the danger who plagued this world and also they were already powerful beyond sense, but you are different I mean I clearly sense an amazing potential but you are still novices and it is the first time you hear of the invaders “Rodin was also confused and explained to them the difference.

“C… Can’t we return to our world then? “Ling Ling asked a crucial question that instilled hope in the others.
The King hearing Ling Ling frowned and Rodin complexion darkened.
“Trust me youngsters I also seeing that you are still young don’t want to implicate you in our problems but unfortunately I have no way to return you to your world “said King Aden.
“N…no way what do we do then?”
“Are we trapped here? “
“Mama …Papa!!”
“We are screwed! “
Some of the students panicked and their complexions went deathly pale.
“Calm down I’m sure there is a solution, as long as we are together “
“Yes XuLong is right and I as the teacher have the duty to assure your safety “Miss Chen when saying those words was uncomfortable but determination quickly regained her eyes.
“Is there truly no way to return?” asked XuLong toward Rodin.
“A while before I said that the entrance to the sacred altar opens and closes due to a certain condition, the sacred altar Is the point of intersection between our worlds, the records mentioned that the altars will open after the invaders are repelled… the travellers after they defeated them disappeared but I’m almost sure that they returned to their worlds “
“You mean that the altar can help us return?” Meifeng talked for the first time in a while.
“Yes but as I said after the invaders are repelled “
Some hope was seen as Rodin uttered those words but when he ended his sentence despair reappeared on their faces.
“I’ll fight!! “XuLong exclaimed suddenly.
“But it’s dangerous! “Said Lingling
“Then what do we do? Cry and lament into some corner? We don’t have a choice if we want to return to our families we need to fight for it and this world is in danger, anyway we will die if we do nothing we have five years let’s do our best “
“He is right I’ll also fight, if someone wants something he needs to take it nothing changes if we waste time hoping for a miracle “added Meifeng
Little by little the spirits of the students were lifted, determination and resolution appeared in their eyes.
(This young man he has good qualities maybe they were destined like Rodin said) thought the king inwardly.
“We… we lost someone in the altar”
The dull and sad voice that interrupted the ongoing mood was from LiXiu.
The king was surprised.
“Rodin what does she mean? “
“Your majesty one of the travelers didn’t have the time to cross the entrance and got trapped inside the altar room “
“What?” the king was shocked one of the travelers was already lost according to him it was a bad omen.
“But there is something strange your majesty “
“I have the power to feel the magic flow of people which is why I can sense the talent of the travellers but it also can help me sense if a person is a live or not even his position, I saw the traveller who got trapped he was strange his talent was inferior to the others but now i can’t sense his magic flow inside the altar instead it became more weak , strange… a while ago it completely disappeared but now …truly strange he is perhaps alive and even out of the altar room !”
Rodin eyes emitted shades of white light as he spoke, hearing him Lixiu dull and hollow eyes regained their clearness instantly.
“Does that mean that he is still alive? “She asked.
“Impossible!” Su Xing exclaimed.

“Why do you say that?”gazing at him curiously Rodin said .
“I mean he got trapped there and there is no way out how he can survive? “SuXing with panic replied.
“I don’t know but his flow of magic is still existing so he is certainly alive “affirmed Rodin
“If he is alive we will search for him don’t worry “it was at this time that the young man beside the king talked for the first time.
He was the young prince Aron , he was eighteen years old ,handsome with long blond hair, delicate features and physique , he appeared refined and elegant with his light blue robe like his father he had blue eyes , an air of arrogance and haughtiness emanated from him worthy of aristocrats , from the first appearance of LiXiu he never removed his gaze from her position , he certainly got captivated by her exotic beauty but LiXiu regaining hope about YeFan surviving never noticed when he talked she gently nodded at him.
But similarly the princess was gazing at a certain someone, the princess inherited the red hair and emerald green eyes of her mother the queen Kathrin, she was a beautiful girl one year younger that her brother, pale skin that seemed delicate like silk, her red dress accented perfectly her alluring well-proportioned body, her smile exuded a subtle charm that attracted the men present inside the room even some of the male students.
“Rodin how can he escape the altar? Isn’t there only an entrance? “The king was puzzled.
“I don’t know your majesty it is truly weird it never happened before and the records didn’t mention another entrance to the altars “
Rodin was equally puzzled.
“LiXiu if Yefan is truly alive then I’m sure we will find him “said XuLong to comfort her.
“Yes I’m sure “declared LiXiu determined.
****************************
It was still dark in the abyss like giant hole, but if you look closely a dot of blue light was constantly flashing at the very bottom.
Ye fan was still unconscious but some changes happened to his body while he was unaware, first all the previous injuries disappeared like a they never existed to begin with, secondly is that the blue light was now emitting from his own body, some strange lines appeared along his arms and two weird symbols were now on each side of his face even his eyes emitted light, all this weird changes had something in common all of them had a blue dazzling color, suddenly the eyes of YeFan twitched.
“Ugh… my head it hurts like hell …”
YeFan little by little awoke from his slumber with a heavy headache but it still was supportable unlike the first time.
“Huh? My injuries, my arm and leg I can feel them they’re intact?”
YeFan was stunned at his state, something seeming impossible happened.
“Am I Dreaming? …Ugh probably not I never heard of headaches inside a dream “
Slowly standing up steadily he stretched him a few times and removed the dust from his clothes.
“Huh? Why is my body emitting blue light? Those lines shit what happen when I was asleep “
Staring at his arms and the blue lines along them it scared the shit out of him.
“What the fuck happened I remember that crystal thing, yes where is it?”
Looking at the sculpture the blue crystal was nowhere to be found, Yefan now was like a light bulb shining in the darkness.
On the sculpture there were still the mysterious engravings, but this time Yefan unconsciously succeeded in reading them.
“Here lies the Heart of the Blue Emperor “
This time he felt an oppressive aura emanating from those words it appeared to be a language.
“Why can I read them now?”
Suddenly he remembered that the sculpture was that of a someone , at that time he wasn’t able to discern its appearance, he hastily looked what appeared now was a tall man with sharp eyes and long hair that flowed down to his waist, it was so vivid that he thought it was still alive on the incomparable handsome face were two symbols, they were lines with two successive sharp triangles at the extremity, truly weird but they were the same as the still unaware Yefan who had the same on his face now .
“The blue emperor? Who the fuck is that?” murmured Yefan.
All of sudden the headache intensified but this time a flow of foreign memories invaded his mind.
He saw a young man with long cyan hair standing in front of a lake, he and the sculpture were identic like two side of a mirror, beside him was a young woman with red hair and pointy ears she was extremely beautiful Yefan had never seen a woman as beautiful as her, she was tall, her eyes radiated a red color that penetrated deep in the soul, her extremely white skin was like jade, her oval face was perfect and her body was capable of initiating a war between the males.
“Rory why did you come and left your continent and your kingdoms without their emperor?”
The young man turned slightly and initiated the conversation.
“Don’t be too serious my dear Mavi, don’t I have the right to visit you?”
“Do you know that Colis and his undead Army are preparing to invade? And your continent is the nearest “
“I know that’s why I came, I need your help you know that between the four emperors you and Colis are the strongest I certainly can’t contend with him “
“You the red empress are requesting my help? Isn’t it a surprise? Why didn’t you go to that whity? ”
“Still calling him that that’s why he doesn’t like you, but Mavi after my territory it’s yours who will be in danger if we can stop him together wont it be killing two birds with one stone?”
Suddenly the scenery changed, it became a large battlefield with millions of soldiers from every race the sky was blood red, the previous green plains were dyed red with blood and skulls and gore were everywhere, Yefan was nauseated at the sight, the sounds of clashing swords and metal reverberated in every direction it was like millions of ants were crawling and tearing each other, the picture was so lifelike that Yefan even felt the colossal murderous aura emanating from them , on top of the battlefield were two people hovering in the air , they were the previous Mavi and Rory they were like waiting for someone , Yefan was stunned that these two people were literally flying , their expression was extremely serious .
A black dot were approaching them at high speed from a certain direction, little by little it stopped at a hundred meters from them, it was another man wearing a completely black robe his pitch black hair was flowing behind him in the wind in his hand was black halberd, he was tall, his skin was deathly pale like he was sick but his somber eyes instilled a deep fear in people, emanating from him was a dangerous aura of death, Yefan had never seen a person so terrible.
“You finally came emperor of darkness “said Rory
“Humph, you vixen I see that you happened to find help isn’t it blue emperor “smiled Colis eerily.
“I just came because of the fun “Sneered Mavi.
“Well no need for words then this time I will kill both of you!!”
“Don’t interfere Rory” said Mavi without turning around.
In an instant Colis disappeared from his position, in the hand of Mavi a blade of blue light condensed out of nowhere and Rory stepped back behind him while reciting a magic incantation, she made some hand signs and a red shield of light enveloped her body.
Mavi then stepped lightly on air and then his silhouette left only a shadow, after a few seconds a loud sound could be heard and a terrible shockwave was emitted sweeping everything in its passage disintegrating the clouds in the rayon of a hundred of meters even Rory was pushed back a dozen of steps .
“You two same as always two monsters “rumbled Rory
Two shadows were at the center of the shockwave entangled and sparks emanated from the blade of light and the black halberd.
“Mavi!! This time you will lose! “
“You said no need for words you sick blacky!”
“You!!!!!!”
They separated and they exchanged several blows each more powerful than the precedent, the battlefield under them was affected by the after effect and soldiers were annihilated by the powerful waves of energy.
Their appeared and repapered at several places and terrible sounds of clashing weapons resonated in each corner of the battlefield.
“Are they still human?”Yefan froze completely how a human can wield such power he thought.
Wave after wave of black and blue energy intertwined in the sky forming a shocking picture.
Suddenly Colis took some distance and waved his halberd horizontally black light condensed at the tip and a deathly pressure was emitted.
Suddenly he propelled a crescent shaped blade of black light toward Mavi, seeing the oncoming dangerous projectile he instantly moved his hand in front of him, a screen of blue light condensed rapidly shielding him.
When the black blade of light hit the blue screen an earth shattering noise resounded hurting the ears of the millions of soldiers even Yefan blocked his ears .
The black light submerged Mavi and his screen of light for several seconds some black energy touched the red shield of Rory corroding it in some spots.
“Death energy huh? same as always frightening” exclaimed Rory.
Little by little the black energy dissipated letting Mavi reappear his screen already dissolved but he was unharmed.
“Humph “frowned Colis
“It’s my turn now let’s end it Blacky “
“You stole my words “
In the hand of Colis the black halberd disappeared, behind him a shadow rapidly condensed of black light, it rapidly took shape of a giant black skull.
“Behold my black flames!!”
Similarly Mavi made some gestures and behind him condensed a large warrior made blue flames in his hand was a gigantic bow.
“Let’s see whose flame is better you sick bastard!!”
(What the fuck!!!)YeFan brain stopped thinking.
The giant black skull slowly opened his mouth and in horror a huge ball of black flames formed slowly, from the giant warrior a humongous arrow of blue flames formed inside the bow, Yefan scalp was tingling the terrifying amount of energy made him hold his breath.
“Do they want to erase this place? “Yefan heard Rory scolding remark.
Energy continued to swirl and the two of them prepared to lunch their attack when Yefan noticed that a strange phenomenon was happening.
Indeed a huge black hole slowly made his appearance in the sky, Colis and Mavi suddenly stopped their fight and looked in horror at the black hole.
“What is that?” Rory was stunned.

8 75Phantom Storm
"Have you heard, the entire Bonanno crew was brutally murdered!" Exclaimed a youth in his early teens. "What? you're lying, again!" Another similarly aged child responded with crisp denial in his tone. After all, the crew was infamous for their ruthlessness. An eery silence passed between them. Soon enough, the teens' curiosity trumped his ego, and he found himself inquiring in a meek voice. "So...Who did it?" "I heard my father talking about it while he was drunk. Guess what he said?..." The child responded, he was a natural-born storyteller. Listening intently, the other teen urged him on. "It was done by a single person. When the police arrived, the bodies were charred black, likely the work of an electro mage. Most had an arrow or two lodged in their body, and a few were even chopped into neat little slices by a sharp blade." He paused, inhaling sharply. "All the victims had shocked expressions on their faces. As if the enemy was invisible or something. That's why they call that person the Phantom Storm!" concluded the adolescent with an excited glint in his eyes. 2 CHAPTERS PER WEEK (Canada time) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] -------------------------------------------- Follow Itsuki as he is reincarnated in an unfamiliar world, left to discover where he belongs in such a place.
