《Azure Chronicles》Chapter 144: Chimes of Melodies Part 6
Advertisement
With Suzie holding onto a feather of his snow wings, Yokuza followed Winter Lily through the grey-tiled streets of Dalaureus. Sapphire lazily sprawled out on Yokuza's head while snoring as she slept like a cat refined in its catness. Yokuza glanced over at Malfarothian Stadium in the distance, causing Suzie to glance up at him.
"Alright~ we're here!" Winter Lily stated as she spun around and waved her arms excitedly. Behind Winter Lily stood a red forest with the non-paved parts of the ground covered in large red flowers and populated by tanned fairies and faes.
"Behold a sanctuary for spirits and faes, and the home of one of the Hero Spirits: Elanae~" a fae stated before Winter Lily angrily pushed her hands in the fae's face.
"Hey! I'm guiding these lot, no guide stealing," Winter Lily exclaimed. The fae giddily giggled before flying off, and Winter Lily defeatedly sighed. Yokuza placed a hand on his chin, sighing to himself, and recalled a conversation he overheard the other day.
The previous night in the airship carrier's cafe, Lola sat at the bar counter as she sulked and defeatedly ate her tenth bowl of ice cream. Yokuza sat on the stool next to Lola while having a puzzled look on his face.
"Why am I here again?" Yokuza uttered mentally as he rested his arms and head on the bar counter. Solus and Nebula, with Sylvie sitting on her lap, sat at a table with Lumina, Lumios, and Kimmi-Ka on the table's other couch.
"I must say, it's a shame I wasn't able to see the fight with the aether construct," Lumios remarked as Kimmi-Ka looked at Solus through her magnifying glass. Lumina amusedly huffed as she rested her arms behind her head. While he walked past, Maru jokingly remarked that Lumios sure likes to use old-fashioned words.

"Serves you right; I knocked on your door for like a solid minute, and you didn't respond," Lumina said condescendingly with a mix of annoyance and amusement in her voice before she sat up straight, "What could be so important you ignore your surroundings anyway, Lu-chan?". Lumios shrugged, causing Lumina to glare at him unamusedly.
"Is it worth trying to explain when you'd fall asleep halfway through?" Lumios asked smugly as he poked Lumina's nose. Lumina thought of responding; however, her cheeks turned red, and she defeatedly slumped her head to the side, acknowledging Lumios was right.
"Although, on the topic of what I'm working on, could I ask a favour of you, Solus?" Lumios asked.
"Given our location, does it happen to have something to do with Elanae of The Hero Spirits?" Solus asked. Lumios nodded as he placed his arms on the table and his head on his clasped fists.
"Indeed, I managed to get spirit energy from Quenoe on my way back to the capital of Senithrown and from Inaka, before she went on a pastry grand tour," Lumios remarked with Solus nodding along.
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
"And you want me to get some spirit energy from her since you ticked her off the last time you met?".
"That's certainly a way to put it," Maru remarked as he walked past while carrying a tray of desserts over his head to the table with the other kitsune egos/visages. Nebula rested her chin on Sylvie's head as Sylvie waved around The Heart of Wonders, and Kimmi-Ka looked at it through The Eye of Revelations' lens. Kimmi-Ka's attention slowly diverted from Sylvie and stared at the exhausted Yokuza.
"Sol-kun... I think he should go himself... and apologise," Nebula muttered softly, causing Lumios to defeatedly sigh.

After hearing someone sit on the bar stool next to him, Yokuza turned his head slightly to glance to his side and stared at Kimmi-Ka. Yokuza raised an eyebrow as he heard a distant voice getting bolder and clearer until he fully comprehended it.
"Hey! Hey! Boss snap out of it!" Winter Lily exclaimed, snapping Yokuza back to the present. Yokuza rubbed his forehead and sighed.
"What is it, Winter Lily?" Yokuza grumbled as he regained his bearings.
"A kid appeared from a portal thingy," Winter Lily stated as she pointed at the small figure floating behind Yokuza. Yokuza rolled his eyes before he registered Winter Lily mentioning the word portal. Yokuza sighed as he wondered if it being Providence or Nola would be worse. He reluctantly turned around and, while not showing it, got the life spooked out of him as he came face to face with a floating Kimmi-Ka. Kimmi-Ka silently and emotionlessly stared at Yokuza before she waved The Eye of Revelations around, making rouge red/snow white/golden mana flow out of it and form into floating letters.
"Help me find the Hero Spirit for Father," Kimmi-Ka's letters read. Yokuza rubbed his forehead and defeatedly rolled his eyes.
"Fine... just let me get Suzie here back to her mother first, alright?" Yokuza requested. Kimmi-Ka apprehensively nodded her head as she narrowed her eyes into a scowl and slowly flew circles around Yokuza, much to his confusion. She poked and prodded his body before bunching his wings and trying to lie on them, only to fall through the wings as they parted. Defeated, Kimmi-ka floated in front of Yokuza before moving his arms together and sat on his crossed arms with a regal posture.
"Good grief...," Yokuza grumbled as a small yellow D.P. portal surrounded by star clusters formed above him. Providence's hand descended from the portal while carrying Sylvie, and placed her on Yokuza's shoulders. Winter Lily watched Providence retract his hand into the portal before it closed.
"Um... boss?".
"I noticed, Winter Lily," Yokuza defeatedly muttered as Sylvie poked the cheek of a sleeping Sapphire on Yokuza's head.
Meanwhile, Zinvallia stood on the suspended walkway hanging from the glass dome of Malfarothian Stadium. She paced back and forth, watching the seas of adoring fans raving to Kurai's band's music. Zinvaliia raised her hands to her head and placed earplugs in her ears. She clicked her neck as Kukorama reiterated the plan for the hundredth time played in her mind.
"Have the necklace temporarily turn Kurai into a heathian and, with the research I received from Fox using an azure core, the angorthite mixed with siad azure core should alter Kurai's azure ability and induce forced awakening in the crowd. Then your job is to locate an individual with a purification azure ability and scoop them up," the recollection of Kukorama's voice stated. Zinvalia sighed, moving her mask to the side and rubbing her forehead.
"But how am I supposed to know who's got what abilities even if they do awaken?" Zinvalia grumbled as she put her mask back on and tossed a shadow mana crystal sphere to the glass dome. The sphere shattered upon striking the dome before a veil of shadow mana began spreading across the dome and to the walls of Malfarothian Stadium.

Gods of Arkanoth
The hunter has been betrayed, left alone in the streets of a lugubrious district. Only one goal appears in his eyes: to avenge himself. In his quest to avenge himself, he'll encounter an enigmatic scientist who seems to hide his true nature, a savior pretending to be a God, and the terrible truth of those words, bringing him against something he'd never thought he'd have to affront. This is the odyssey of the hunter, in a quest to put a long overdue end to a war between two worlds. // What to expect:The beginning will surely be intriguing, most of what's happeing won't be directly explained, although there will be some hints about their true roles, but do not worry about some subjects never leaving that misty fog that is unanswered questions! The novel is divided in two parts, the first focusing on uncovering the well-hidden secrets the city of Arkanoth hides, be it concerning its making or its inhabitants. As for the second part, it will be an expedition into the unknown, we could, in a way, say the true start of the journey our three heroes will undertake! I won't say anything more about the second part or else I might tell you an important detail without realizing... As for magic, because yes, there is magic! Although you might not see the shadow of a spell in the first chapters, it will appear in later chapters and will be one of the main subjects of volume 2. There are three heroes, yes, but they will not appear directly. While the first two protagonists appear in quite the beginning, the third will take his time, taking some stroll in the Districts of Arkanoth while we focus on the story of the hunter. But that does not lessen his importance in the story a bit, trust me. What about these three heroes, you say? Well, they all have their own issues, from their character to their torments, and as the story progresses they will have to come clean with their past (character development is to be expected) and will find their reason for fighting, braving all odds. I draw my inspiration from mythology, more precisely Aztec mythology. I want to stay true to a certain extent about it and all the relations between the gods and their role, however I will still change some things to my liking, so do not expect for all of the mythology to be respected to the letter. Finally! I have to say English is a foreign langage for me, so I might not choose the best words or straight-up miswrite something, if it bothers your experience, just tell me in the comments and I'll look into it! It is also my first time writing a book, so some parts might seem sloppy, but I hope I will be able to improve throughout this journey so as to give the most enjoyable reading experience to you. // Who might enjoy this story: Firstly, if you like deep lore and stories in which past plays a big role, you will like how everything unravels to show the hidden truths of the world. However if you do not appreciate not instantly understanding what's happening or who - or even what - this person might be, then you might not appreciate the story. There will be disturbing and gore descriptions, so if you're sensitive, don't like reading about someone being beheaded and such, you should probably pass this one. There is strong langage, although I won't abuse it, I won't be lying saying no insults will appear. Finally, the heroes will not always win, they will sometime lose battles, be it important ones or unimportant, and they will, most of the time, not come out unscathed from those. // Time Schedule : once every two sundays at 7:pm Ps : feel free to tell me if something is bad, or feel wrong with the book, it really helps me. I've written till' chapter 4 (in my mother tongue, so I'll still have to translate), however I'll make some minor and major changes, thus it will take some time to post them. Schedule will probably not change after releasing chapter 4, so don't worry, it won't take even longer to post a chapter than it already is. Enjoy the ride :)
