You want worlds? I give you worlds.

The next day, on the Verdant Cliff...

In the middle of the cliff stood Ritna, Rowena, and Iliuha. Opposite of them were Alrus, Volg, and S'rok. On their sides were Cavaron and Culverin and were facing each other.

"All who are present here with us stand witness to the signing of the treaty. Ladenrasians and non-humans, now bound by blood, are at peace as friends, brothers, sisters, and comrades!" Iliuha, the Minister of Diplomatic Affairs, announced.

Applause erupted from both the Ladenrasians and the non-humans.

"For a bright future!!!"

"For a prosperous future!!!"

"As friends!!!"

"As brothers and sisters!!!"

"As comrades!!!"

"HOORAH!!!"

They continued for a while before dying down.

"Let us work hard together from now on." Ritna brought her hand forward and smiled.

"In memory of those we loved." Alrus shook her hand.

"Now what, my Queen?" asked Rowena.

"Now, we return to Lavinia. We need to reform the place and the army to adhere to the treaty. Sir Cavaron, what will you do now?"

"Me? No idea." Cavaron replied and shrugged. "I would probably stay here for a while and regain my mana to travel on my own... or wait until I get kidna– erm, summoned to some other world."

"Alright, well then, we're off."

However, just before Ritna climbed the carriage...

*glow* "shaaaa"

A magic circle appeared below Cavaron.

"I did say I would wait, but I never mentioned anything about right now!!!!" he yelled and managed to jump off the circle.

Yet, contrary to his expectations, the magic circle chased him... so he ran around the area.

"Kuh!? A direct summoning!? Argh!"

"Sir Cavaron!?"

When Cavaron passed by a tribesman, the magic circle evaded and continued the chase.

"Gah! Ritna! When you –hop!– return to Lavinia –oof!– go to Myrn's Jewelries –haa!– and deliver a message for me! –hyo!– There's a little girl –gaa!– tell her that sooner or later –oomph!– I will keep the promise!"

Cavaron then concentrated a large amount of mana in his hand, and threw it on a tree nearby.

">!"

After doing so, he stopped running, bid farewell,

"See ya, everybody!"

got caught by the circle, and disappeared after a bright flash.

Everybody else who remained was stunned at the sight, while Culverin had his hand on his face sighing.

"General Rowena?"

"Yes, my Queen?"

"Where is Myrn's Jewelries?"

"The third ring, milady."

"Guide me, we have a message to deliver."

"As you wish, my Queen. All troops, lets head back home!"

Ritna faced Culverin and Alrus, and gave a respectful nod to both.

Culverin and Alrus nodded back in return, and watched as she left.

"Lord, what will you do now?" Alrus asked Culverin.

"Now? Hm... I'll stand by for a year or two before going back to sleep." he replied. "Come, changes will be made and the three of you may know no rest for the coming days."

""" Yes, Lord. """ his three subordinates saluted.

~Interlude~

Your shadow, like the stars,

will dissolve into the morning sky and disappear.

I have lost your whereabouts,

but my thoughts of you are overflowing.

My heart was able to face

both strength and weakness.

As long as I'm with you,

I won't fear tomorrow no matter what it's like.

Please believe in the times

when the two of us were walking together.

~Whereabouts of Light

Belfron Federation

A large entity spanning over an entire continent that was once a multitude of small kingdoms. Their victory over the Lich Shunga twenty years ago as an alliance gave them a foothold in conquering the continent and effectively merged into become one federation. What differs them from others is that they have a supreme leader who has the final say on decisions. This leader, as of now, is Premier Tania.

Twenty years ago, Tania was a princess of the Rusvich Kingdom who was at the forefront of the Undead War. During that time, her father valiantly led their kingdom along with the others to victory with the help of a champion. She was a cute child back then, always trying to attract the champion to play with her, despite her father's persuasions and a bit of scolding.

After the war with the defeat of the Lich Shunga, the champion bid farewell leaving her alone.

After that time, she worked hard in the alliance even after it became a federation in ten years. Her services to her people gained her a lot of supporters, and made some enemies, but she never gave up. When she eliminated the corruption within the federation, she was chosen to be the next premier.

Now, as the Belfron Premier, their lives are fairly peaceful but, to her, something is missing.

That is, she longed for the champion who made her happy during her childhood. She would do anything to bring the champion back.

With that in mind, she went into the Federal Library, deep into the restricted area. One year, two years, three years. She kept looking for something to help her while not shirking off her duties to her people. After five years of searching, she found it.

An ancient magic that feeds on emotions to summon someone. All she needed to do was draw the magic circle, have some mana crystals to channel the magic, and just think of the person she wishes to see. The downside of the ritual is the consequence of failure. She will lose all emotion and become an empty husk.

Believing that her love will not fail, she proceeded with the ritual.

It only took her three days to finish the set up. Activating the magic circle with her blood, she thought of the champion years ago. She thought strongly about the champion. So strong that the mana crystals cracked from the pressure. After five minutes, no one came out. Despair filled her face but she shook her head and thought even more. After another five minutes a loud explosion was heard and the mana crystals shattered. Her guards rushed in to see what happened, but were greeted by a bright flash of red light. The shards of the mana crystals floated over to the center of the circle and disappeared. In its place was the champion she held dear.

"Cavaron!"

Hoo... this one was a whoozy. I figured that the epilogue was too short so I added in the next one.
