"So this is cultis city?"(Forvish)
I said that as we were outside of airport..It was already midnight when we arrived. Because of that Lune and Noir was sleeping at their grandma back,oh well they made quite ruckus at the airplane so I can't blame them for being so tired. Well they were fine...but why Luna too were sleeping?I said that in my heart as I carry her on my back. Reading my expressions grandman said..
"Well wasn't that fine?She play with your child all the times while we were on the plane.so think that as reward for her.."(Ruby)
"That's fine,for now where we should to stay?"(Forvish)
It was already midnight. I doubt there is a hotel opened for us..as I thought that she said..
" I already booked a hotel before we arrive here,so don't worry about that. Anyway don't you notice something strange Forvish?"(Ruby)
"Nothing,except people other than tourist wear a long robe..."(Forvish)
I already heard this city or nation was religious one. So it wasn't strange or anything.
"well,I will explain everything else at the hotel,so please try your best to hold out okay?"(Ruby)
"Hold out for what?"(Forvish)
3 hours later~~~~~~
"You,your stamina...wasn't it too much?"(Ruby)
"Hmm why one-chan say that?"(Forvish)
"3 hours straight without resting,walking around 10 kilometres...yet your breath was still the same......just what kind of training you do?!!"(Ruby)
Grandma was out of breath when we arrived at the hotel ,well it was quite easy. after all this was nothing compared to my childhood who lived with useless leon...
"If I know this...I should take taxi to begin with...I underestimate your power..."(Ruby)
"I already suggest you to take taxi,it was you who the one that refused."(Forvish)
After all even thought they were heavy,they were still a child...but grandma how much money do you have to rent a private airplane...I guess grandma really rich lady. Never expect her stamina to be this low....Grandma then go the receptionist and then once she finished..
"Anyway,Let's talk it tomorrow!!I was fucking tired!!!here is the key to your room!!"(Ruby)
I catch with my left hands and then we ride the elevator to the upper floor and noticed the room was a quite of luxury. Really now I am interested of grandma works...just where she get this money from...once we do that I noticed my room was a bed room with a huge bed instead of double bed..
"Ara ,ara..I make mistakes teehehe--sorry your nee-chan was clumsy.."(Ruby)
"Seriously..anyway I will sleep with lune and noir at my own room.so pleas-"(Forvish)
"Have fun!!!"(Ruby)
Grandma already escape to her own room and...close the door..HEY HEY YOU LEAVE ME WITH THE WOLF ON MY BACK!!Then as I thinking about that. Luna opens her mouth.
"Grandma sure is nice wasn't it to leave us a time for us alone.."(Luna)
"So you are awake?Since when?"(Forvish)
"Since beginning,after all I always wanted to be piggyback by you again since little..not to mention you were so weak that you can't even piggyback me when we were still a kid."(Luna)

"Heh really?well anyway what should we do now?There is only one bed.."(Forvish)
"Was it a problem?But please be gentle okay,this is my first time not yours.."(Luna)
.....wait what?as I heard that....I begin to sweat while slowly luna grab my head...
"Everyone already know...well Alice was bad at hiding it anyway.....So...Forvish.....what will you do? "(Luna)
.......Well I never guess to use this soon. Thanks god I prepared it for time like this...
Narrator POV
In the morning . As they have breakfast in restaurant inside the hotel..they were sitting while faced their back on each other.
"Good grandson of mine,can you explain what was happening?"(Ruby)
" It's fine,it is her fault."(Forvish)
"Spoil!?It was your fault !!!You tied me!!!and sleep like log ignore my rambling?!!!(Luna)
"It was your fault first!!!!You will attack me!!!! That's why I tied you first and ignore your rambling!!!"(Forvish)
"You unfaifthful husband!!!"(Luna)
"I am not your husband!!we are not married yet!!!"(Forvish)
"HM!!"(Forvish)
Ruby grandma who see this only sighed...she didn't know why they ended up fighting..well from her point of view..it was more like a lover quarrel after all they still keep themselves in check.....there is no way this won't happen...but still it was still their first time wasn't it.noir who saw this was look at them alternatively worried..But lune who often read manga were glittering
"Mom !!!Dad!!are you having lover quarrell?"(Lune)
"We are not!!"(Forvish and Lune)
Noir who saw this noticed also glittering with star. Lune and Ruby who heard they answer immediately nod . Yup they indeed have lover quarrel. Thought they were fighting,you can say it was proof of their love. Thought ruby think it was Forvish fault..it was rude for a man to refuse dish that served in front of him...well she only keep it in her own mind it because she was interested how forvish will handle it...at worst she will intervene it...but she think it wasn't necessary because forvish never ever mutter any badword toward Luna since they started their breaksfast,he had a perfect control of his emotion or he love her too much...well it was a bad thing..if forvish were too perfect the no one will fall love in him...
Thought he had many of upcoming he also human. He will make mistakes..or act like a child sometimes, Thought he was his father was more dense than him...really it was her fault for his son being like that...if she handled more carefullly maybe she can have 3 or 4 grandson..
"welll,well kept your lover quarrel aside for now..Forvish don't you notice something strange?"(Ruby)
"What?"(Forvish)
"The restaurant was too quite.."(Ruby)
Back to Forvish POV
Now you mention it,no one disturbed by us...even thought we made a quite of ruckus..the restaurant was too quite. More likely only us here....as I thought that grandma stand up and sign us to follow her...As we walked she give a glance to the security camera surrounding us..It was like each 10 meter there is one...be it at the road or the hotel...as we check out from the hotel grandma led us to a high building with a rooftop and then noticed...there is flying drone watching them...how the hell?. As I thought that grandma made an invisible layer surround us...this..sight deception type spell...like the one I used at Lisa..

"Well now we can talk freely..what is your opinion about this city..."(Ruby)
"It was too much,it was like there is no freedom around this city..."(Luna)
"I see...how about you Forvish?"(Ruby)
As I didn't heard that ,I look at the group of people wearing white clothes was walking in huge line in the road below us..be it from eldery to young child.....they were go toward the huge tower in the middle of city...I believe it was around 700-800 meter tall. why tower like that was created?I am curious about its existence....
"Ah shall I explain to you?what with this city about.."(Ruby)
"Please do so nee-chan."(Forvish)
"This a city a conquered by religion...and it wasn't common religion either. "(Ruby)
"What do you mean?"(Forvish)
"Well,you can say this religion devotion or loyalty wasn't to god or anything..It was female human."(Ruby)
"Why you phrase it like that?"(Forvish)
Grandma scratch her cheek for a moment..
"How to explain it...I sorta called it female human,because I don't know how to classfied her...I don't know she was a human...Or she is a monster."(Ruby)
"Meaning?"(Forvish)
"I don't know she do this intentionally or not...but I want you to know that she was like someone who was chosen by fate.."(Ruby)
"Fate?"(Forvish)
"Ara you don't know it yet?."(Ruby)
I nod,but ruby look away for a moment as she finished thinking for a moment,she then answered after a creating a dome near us so no one can hear us.
"I don't know why they hide it from you..I can't tell you full about it.. Thought I can tell you one thing...your meeting with sakura was predicted...also the same the girl right here..because they were necessary for this world. Forvish have you ever considered your power was weaker when both of your child was not with you?"(Ruby)
"Even if you mention it...I don't feel any different?"(Forvish)
"Heh really?well I will explain it more clearly once we returned home..Forvish your power was like empty vessel...you are nothing compared to the one wield power ,like destruction for example...it wasn't because of you weak or anything...It was because it was necessary that you to stay with sakura..only when you are with her..your dragon show his true form.Of course there is other power...for example this nation have girl with reversal...there was also creation you faced before."(Ruby)
"I see..."(Forvish)
"Thought Forvish...you know you were creating a miracle..again and again..."(Ruby)
"What do you mean?"(Forvish)
"Both of these cute little girl they didn't exist in the prophecy in your fate...not only that..based on the prophecy luna who were your first friend and the girl you loved..she supposed to die in the prophecy.Not only that....you also killed your own parent when you were 15 years old.Have no friends at all,no one believe you live in complete hell for completely 15 years....that is your life supposed to be.But it was changed...,you have friend,you were trusted by everyone else. you forgive your parent..To be honest...You already strayed too far from the phophecy."(Ruby)
"...you mean because I was abandoned..my fate was changed?"(Forvish)
"I don't think that was the cause forvish. After all..your mana was supposed to be a Mirage Illusion dragon. A mana that can't cast magic. The only best thing you can do is cast illusion...if based on prophecy..not only that. it was supposed to be evolved when you lost your second love...in this case I think it was the white haired girl or shiroyuki. With the lost of her you awakened the Nightmare dragon...the dragon of torture. THen only after 6 years..you truly awakened dream dragon...with the sacrifice of group of your friends..no it was more like self sacrifice. Based on prophecy you sacrificed the daughter to awaken it...you only realize the important of their when they lost your live... That time your live also complete of guilt...only when you truly regained all of your feeling and choose 1 of the possible future wth the girl that your live changed...the ending also varied. Well it wasn't important for the ending ,what is important..you change your life...the live that supposed to be dark..into a light that shine brightly. It was amazing how your life changed thought.."(Ruby)
"It was rather amazing how detailed the prophecy.."(Forvish)
"Hahaha,maybe you are right...anyway..it was still possible future..So I suggest you do your best...I know you can choose the better future from this..after all you are strayed too much from the prophecy that even made me think the future was only hax...also don't well up in your emotion..because mana was sensitive to emotion...especially you..whose mana was because of emotion."(Ruby)
"I understand,I will try my best to keep my head cold."(Forvish)
"hahaha,good,anyway we are strayed too far from the main topic..so for now..let's talk how we should handle the problem here."(Ruby)
As grandma said that,she undo the layer surrounding us..and return to where everyone else...I wonder....is the cause my fate change was because I saved lune and noir?or it was because something else?....thought I don't regret it..after all they already important to me...and I will protect them. I won't let the prohecy interfree with it!!!

Tim the Engineer
Summoned against his will to a world of swords and magic, an engineering student struggles to find a way home under the shadow of a world devouring threat. ***************************** Updates: 5/13/19: Revisions to several chapters for clarity, grammar, and style. 4/29/19: A short side story and artwork has been added to the blog. 4/8/19: A Side Story has been updated on my new blog (every writer is required to have one). https://talesfromliahar.wordpress.com/ ***************************** “The summoning scenarios are broken down into groups of ten.” Emi Ito stated. “Don’t, don’t you dare say another word.” Muttered Genzo Uchida. His eyes had turned bloodshot and his hands shook with rage. “The first thirty…” “Shut up!” Genzo bellowed “How dare you help these disrespectful gaijin?” Flecks of spit and madness flew from his face, his fist raised ready to strike. But Emi did not flinch, instead she was about ready to continue when Yuma Takeuchi interrupted her. “Uchida, please,” her sweet sounding words could melt ice. “I think we will have a better chance of getting home if we all work together.” When she glanced up with her sleepy looking eyes at Genzo Uchida he deflated visibly. “Were not getting home.” Uchida said coolly. “Group summoning, large, that puts us in the 60 series. No one came to greet us after five minutes of arrival. That leaves scenarios 68 and 69. In scenario 68 there is something that binds the large group together; they are all classmates or a single family. But thanks to the gaijin” he spit out the word “I think we are scenario 69 with no way home.” Ikko Inoue’s eyes went wide, while Katsukno and Hayata started muttering to themselves. Tim took on a serious look and rubbed his scruffy chin. Emi maintained her stoic expression while trying to find something to refute. McKenzie glanced at Randall and giggled. Randall took the prompting of his teammate and followed up by approaching Genzo. “Uh, so we are in a sixty-nine?” “Yes.” Replied Genzo with the seriousness of someone who’s life was about to end. McKenzie covered her mouth and snickered. “You and me, were stuck in a sixty-nine situation?” Randall pushed with a grin. “Yes, we are all stuck in a sixty-nine scenario together!” Genzo retorted in anger. McKenzie fell on her butt laughing. “What the hell is so funny?” Demanded Genzo, whose face had turned red. “It’s a problem with the automatic translation.” Retorted Tim. Randall, who seemed unable to quit started in again “So, about this sixty-ni…” Genzo interrupted Randall with a swift punch to the face. But, because of their height difference it was a bit of an uppercut that left Randall rattled. Tim and Ikko moved to step in between the two, but Genzo showed no further hostility. Instead he just stared at his clenched fist with such intensity it grabbed the attention of the room. “I unlocked a skill.” He said bluntly. ***************************** This is not a light novel, but people who like light novels should enjoy the themes of this book. ***************************** A Map of the Region

Mysteries lay in the world of arcane in spades and Max will be the one to find them with his thirst for knowledge. But will Max find the mysteries that lay in his mind, body, and soul? This book is just for fun and to practice my writing skills. My previous book met me with frustration after sitting for hours in a day trying to get words to come out. It became something that just wasn't fun to me anymore. So here I'm going to try and just have fun writing a story I would have loved to read. If you want to read what I write then be my guest. I love to critique and hope that I can get better through writing this story but I don't know if I will be able to keep a stable upload schedule until I get into the flow of things again.
