《Songs of Legacies: Cavaron [Complete Draft]》Chapter 75

I laugh at what is currently happening to my country.
Have a chapter.
---------------------------
"What do you mean 'you can't send me back home'?" asked an angered Cavaron, "I fought for my life out there, William sacrificed his life for me, and I eventually killed that goddamned Demon Lord you pieces of shit were panicking over!"
The king that ordered the summoning of Cavaron was behind a wall of guards. Seeing Cavaron, seething in anger, they could only try to appease him especially since he had enough capability to kill a Demon Lord. Cavaron, although furious, hadn't drawn his weapon yet as a sword was still sheathed by his waist.
"S-sir Cavaron..." stuttered the king.
"'SIR'!? YOU NOW ADD A 'SIR' TO MY NAME!?" blasted Cavaron, "YOU HELD A GODDAMNED RITUAL TO KIDNAP ME FROM ANOTHER WORLD AND EXPECTED ME TO AID YOU, WHICH I DID, AND YOU REPAY ME WITH SHIT LIKE THIS!?"
"P-please calm down..." said the king, "Our mages are doing their utmost to find a way to send you back home. F-for the moment, won't you take this chance to see the sights of our fair world?"
"And? How long would that take?" inquired Cavaron, "Unlike you, your home is here! I have a family waiting for me, wondering what the hell happened to me! A father! A mother! Loved ones that you tore me away from for three whole months!"
"W-well..." replied the king, "I-I'm sorry, but I cannot say."
Cavaron stared at the king in the eye, and the king flinched from the severity of Cavaron's stare.
"You know, I could just kill you and everybody present here." threatened Cavaron, "And... schwick! Don't think an assassin would make me think otherwise."
Cavaron grabbed hold of his sword, and swung it all the way behind him. Suddenly, a person appeared out of thin air behind him holding a dagger with a green blade. When Cavaron's sword tore through the seemingly empty space, its edge actually hit the person's neck and sliced off the head.
"If I hadn't gone through William's hellish training, this guy would still be alive, and I'm dead." commented Cavaron, "So, choose. Send me home or die like this poor son of a bitch."
Finally, the guards around the king drew their weapons and shields. The threatening atmosphere exhuded by Cavaron was grave and heavy.
"Hmm... Betrayal by the first summoning." commented Hideki as he watched, "Not really a rare case but not really that common either. At least he made through it alive unlike many of our kind."
Hideki had planned to watch everything but, when he blinked, the scenery suddenly changed. Hideki was now before another freshly summoned Cavaron in front of another king.
"Hero! Please save us!" said the king as he knelt down before Cavaron.
"My god... That is so template material." commented Hideki, "Then again, we've experienced the same things that we've become numb to it. Still, rather refreshing to see someone else have that said to them."
"No!" replied Cavaron immediately.
"Please! The forces of darkness are about to devour us all!" pleaded the king, "My beloved daughter... My princess sacrificed her life to summon you! Please don't let her death be in vain!"
"Oh, shit..." commented Hideki, "A blood ritual? Hmm, effects vary between each circumstance, be it for the summoner, the one being summoned, or the sacrifice... and this is only his second summoning."

"So that's the strange feeling I got when I got here." uttered Cavaron, "Life essence flowed into me... strengthening me... like William..."
Cavaron looked at the sniveling king prostrated before him.
"Do you regret losing your daughter?" asked Cavaron.
The king looked up at him, "May the heavens damn me if I didn't!" and replied.
"Then, provide me with any aid you can muster." declared Cavaron, "I will help you, if only to honor your daughter's sacrifice."
Hideki watched how Cavaron received aid from the king and, in turn, defeated another powerful enemy after fighting for a month on the battlefield. Having won the war, he was celebrated as a hero to the kingdom who summoned him. However, at the end of it all, even the second person to summon him had no idea how to directly send him home.
"I'm sorry, from what you told me, we summoned you from a world different from your home." apologized the king, "If we had pulled you from your home, we would naturally have a method to send you back as stated in our ancient texts... For all that you have done for us, even I would be willing to serve as a catalyst to send you home."
"Are all your rituals sacrifice-based?" asked Cavaron.
The king frowned, "Sadly, yes. Our scholars still have no idea to deconstruct the ancient glyphs and arrays to enable us to use another medium for summoning." and replied.
Different from Cavaron's first summoning, he was calm. He seemed to have accepted his fate of being unable to go home.
"I see... Then, would it be all right to browse your libraries?" he inquired, "An old friend of mine always told me to treasure the knowledge recorded in books and ancient scripts."
Time passed for Cavaron, and Hideki found himself following the person through a massive library. On many tables were many piles of books and scrolls that were left open by Cavaron. When Hideki followed Cavaron around a corner of an aisle, the surroundings changed and Cavaron was standing before a demon with his sword drawn.
"Rest easy, champion." said the demon, "While I am a demon, I am not evil like many would believe."
"A demon summoned him?" wondered Hideki in surprise, "Now this is an absolute rarity. Seeing a red-skinned and horned individual summon a champion is new for me."
"Judging from the crystal spires around me, you summoned me for a reason, yes?" asked Cavaron, "This is new. Usually, it would be human monarchs who would summon me to aid them."
Cavaron, seeing that only he and the demon were present and judging the words of the demon to be plausible, he sheathed his sword. That is, not without letting his mana flow through his body to reinforce it.
"You are free to be strengthened by your mana." said the demon, "It is understandable that one, a human, would be wary to trust a demon's words."
Cavaron was surprised, "You... you can sense my mana?" and asked.
"Not only sense, in the vaguest of the term, but also see it clearly." replied the demon, "Interesting, you have an abundance of mana within your body, but it has yet to merge with you completely..."
"Huh?" said Cavaron, "Merge completely?"
"You'll see in time, of course, if you live long enough." said the demon, "Now, on to more urgent matters. I hope you can... persuade... the humans of this world to not annihilate my kind. In return, I will grant you one wish."

Cavaron raised a brow at the demon's offer, "A wish?"
"Worry not." replied the demon, "I am unlike the devils in tales where a wish will be granted in exchange for one's suffering. If we are able to live in peace afterwards, I will grant you anything that is within my power."
"Now this is an interesting exchange." commented Hideki, "If my memory serves me right, senior would learn about wayfaring after this."
Hideki watched as, for Cavaron's first time, he handled the situation amicably. Judging by how the memory played out, Cavaron spent at least two months trying to bridge the two races. Of course, not everything was smooth sailing as Cavaron, at times, needed the voice of his sword to speak. Nevertheless, it was one of his most difficult yet peaceful duties.
Finally, after a month had passed in the memory, Cavaron was once more before the demon that summoned him.
"Like I had said before, after you had persuaded much of this world to live alongside our kind..." said the demon, "I would grant you a wish. What would you want as your wish?"
Cavaron pondered for a while before stating his wish. Occasionally, he would look at his hands and look at the demon who was patiently waiting for him. Other times, he would look outside and see what he had done so far.
"I... I wish to know how to travel between worlds." he said, "Judging from my past summonings, I cannot rely on my summoner to send me home. Therefore, it is up to myself to come and go as I wish."
The demon's eyes widened, "Oh, a peculiar wish." and said, "Do you have someone waiting for you?"
"I haven't seen my family for months already." answered Cavaron, "I would like to return to them and tell them how I had fared during the last few months."
The demon closed his eyes and lifted his head towards the ceiling.
"Ah, yes. Family." said the demon, "I have to thank you for saving my family. Indeed, they are important. Very well, I shall impart my knowledge. Having done the summoning, I naturally have the capacity to send you back and more. With your mana, traveling between worlds will be taxing, however, and you may need to rest every so often."
A magical circle appeared beneath the two of them.
"I pledge this gift to you, Cavaron." said the demon, "Use it well."
Without a chant nor an aria, the magic circle revealed an orange glow and enveloped both of their bodies. From the demon's head came out a small orb of light. This light swiftly floated towards Cavaron's own head and merged.
"With that, the knowledge of traveling between worlds is yours." said the demon, "Along with additional bits of wisdom pertaining to your mana."
"Huh? But I..." said Cavaron.
"With all that you had done, I would have done more." said the demon, "A whole lot more."
Hideki watched Cavaron create a tear in space as he, for the first time, willingly left a world into what he would call in the future as Hub Space. Having disappeared from sight, Hideki moved towards where Cavaron left, and the scene changed with Cavaron kneeling down on the ground and crying.
"This... My god..." said Hideki, "What the hell happened to his home?"
Cavaron had only disappeared for half a year. However, within this year, a ruined village laid before them. Fields turned to wastelands, houses burnt to the ground, and mass grave markings littered the area. Before Cavaron were the graves of four people, two were of his parents, one had the name "Grall", and the fourth had the name "Clara" etched onto the stone.
Behind him, though, was a group of armored individuals. One of them stepped forward and knelt next to Cavaron.
"Cavaron... I'm sorry we couldn't protect them." apologized the soldier, "When you disappeared... It was hell for many of us. Losing an important person in our village... in our family... the pain it wrought upon us. Then, this war happened. I... I don't know how to make you feel better..."
"Who invaded us...?" asked Cavaron with anger in his voice, "Tell me, Lukas!"
"Oh... shit..." commented Hideki as he watched the scenes that unfolded after.
Cavaron, with his newfound power and the help of Culverin, obliterated the neighboring kingdom that attacked his home. Over the course of his war, he learned that the invasion happened due to the mineral deposits that were discovered in the region two months prior. This further fueled his rage as he brought down sundering flames upon the opposing kingdom's armies. In his rage, he neglected his own life, and many times he was on the brink of death.
The leaders of his home, seeing his battles, were invigorated by his same rage as they, too, took up arms for reprisal. Further assisted by his home's armies, he led the way up until the capital of the opposing kingdom, and slit their king's throat out in the public. With this act, he was then known as the Silver Conqueror from his silver armor. Without his knowledge, however, this title would spread far and wide, and even last over the course of time.
After his war of vengeance, Cavaron returned to his home village with the soldier, Lukas.
"What will you do now, Cavaron?" asked Lukas, "How about you come with me? Let's start life anew."
Although Lukas was, at first, surprised at the power Cavaron received, he remained by his side. Even during Cavaron's war, he stayed next to his suffering friend. Now that his war was over, Lukas thought it would be a good idea to go somewhere else and live peacefully.
"No..." refused Cavaron, "I'm leaving."
"Huh? Leave?" repeated Lukas, "But, where will you go?"
"Anywhere and everywhere." answered Cavaron, "The longer I stay here, the more I remember the past. I might return, when all is well, though so I will leave this here. Mana Anchor!"
Cavaron concentrated a large ball of mana, and threw it to the ground. After that, he faced Lukas with a solemn face.
"This is goodbye, thanks for staying with me." said Cavaron, "We may or may not meet again but be sure to live a long life, Lukas."
Lukas stared at Cavaron. After a while, he approached him and gave Cavaron a hug.
"Farewell, then, my friend." said Lukas, "From what I've seen from you, you will experience a lot more than me. Stay safe, Silver Conqueror."
