Reunion of the Two Old Allies | Vermilion & Azeed

Horizon that is within reach but still unreachable

| Axuuhh Continent |

History of the Axuuhh World, where only 12 pages exist? And one page shows the name Ivan, but his entire name is smudged because of the book's age.

Azeed thought as he reads the book.

*knock*

Master, Mildred is here to speak with you.

Shiro said as he enters the open door.

Let her in.

Azeed said.

I'm gonna have to do more research about this.

Azeed thought and he stored the book in his inventory.

Master Azeed.

Mildred said as she enters his office.

Mildred, don't call me that.

Azeed said.

Her Majesty told me so, anyway, she wants you to visit her tonight after your establishment closed for the day.

Mildred said.

A very demanding woman, well, I'll be there, tell her to not worry.

Azeed said.

Understood, I'll be back in my station, Master Azeed.

Mildred said, she then went back to her workplace.

God-damn it.

Azeed thought.

Master.

Shiro said, he then left to his workplace as well.

Azeed then stood up with his coffee and looked over his window, which sees the kingdom castle, and drank his coffee and finishes it.

I guess I have a date tonight, hopefully, she knows something about the book

Azeed thought.

And after another few more hours have passed by, the day has ended, they closed the Grinn Corp for the day and began counting their profit for the day.

We have a lot as usual.

Mildred said.

But not our highest, it might compensate the cost we used today, but we've been getting pretty dull profits.

Azeed said.

I'm doing pretty good on my end.

Gazelle said, proudly.

Because all you have to do is manageable by your skill.

Shiro said.

Shiro is the one that does Nico's previous work, which is selling Armors, Azeed doesn't want Mina to use too many clones for him at once anymore, so he decided to have him do it instead.

And just conceal the Mansion for now.

Then, shall we execute our extra plan then?

Azeed said.

I'm down with it! It's freaking awesome!

Gazelle said.

I don't have any say to it, it's the Master's decision.

Shiro said.

I do not hate the idea, let's do it.

Mildred said.

Well, we will, tomorrow, for now, I have a date.

Azeed said.

I did just told him to visit her, but not a date, though not like I don't want him to be with her.

Mildred thought.

Wish you the best of luck, Master!

Gazelle cheered.

The way she cheered me on is like she wishes me to have my way with the Queen.

Azeed thought.

Shall I accompany you there, Master?

Shiro asked.

It's fine, besides, you have more work to do.

Azeed said.

That's right, I still have more work later, from Mina and Kai's previous work, which is this storage rings with me.

Shiro thought.

Very well then.

Shiro said.

Anyways, Shiro, send our profits in our Vault, and give our tomorrow's required money to Mina, she will take care of everything.

Azeed added, instructing him.

Understood, Master.

Shiro said.

Azeed then left his store and went to the kingdom castle.

I wonder what she's been doing, Queen Velverosa.

Azeed thought.

He then arrived at the kingdom castle, after swiftly heading there.

Sir Azeed.

The Chief Warrior called.

Chief, is Her Majesty doing alright?

Azeed asked him.

For the most part, well, she misses your company, so you better head to her quickly, I have more business to attend to, I shall take my leave, Sir Azeed.

Chief said.

Very well, Chief.

Azeed said.

Azeed then went to her office to see if she's there, but he only saw her maid cleaning.

Sir Azeed, are you here for Her Majesty?

The maid asked.

Is she new here?

Azeed thought.

Yes, where can she be found?

Azeed asked.

Wordplay there.

Azeed thought, impressed of himself.

She's at the Diner, do you want me to bring you there?

The maid asked.

It's fine, I know where it is.

Azeed said.

He then went to the Diner of the castle, at the left side of the throne room.

He then entered the Diner as she was eating on her usual spot.

Hero Azeed, it's about time you visited me here, I've been nothing but bored.

Queen Velverosa said, greeting him.

Good evening to you too, your majesty.

Azeed greeted her as well.

Come on, you still call me that, I thought I told you to just call me Velverosa.

Queen Velverosa said.

Well, your name is long, and your majesty is a force of habit, how about Queen Vel?

Azeed said, asking her.

Vel? That's funny, I said the same thing to Mildred, to call me just Queen Vel, but she refuses, she said I'm too precious to be called a such, have a seat, I hope you haven't eaten yet, I served you food as well.

Queen Velverosa said.

He went to the seat that's next to her.

Well, I don't really eat, I don't need to, but I can eat if I want to taste any food I want, Queen Vel.

Azeed said as he sits next to her.

I love the way he calls me as such, it's different than I thought.

Queen Velverosa thought.

He then served himself food, no rice, just meats.

How's your day, Azeed?

Queen Velverosa asked.

Not much, not less, we decided tomorrow we'll launch our rewards for our store when they buy something, or even just visit.

Azeed said.

I know that, but what I meant is that, is there something significant that happened to you today?

Queen Velverosa said, asking him again.

Well, there is only one that is always on my mind ever since she gave me it.

Azeed said.

Azeed then took out the History of Axuuhh World.

This book.

Queen Velverosa said.

That's right, do you have any book similar to this? I believe that every kingdom or country has one.

Azeed asked.

We do, but not quite the same, give me a minute.

Queen Velverosa said.

She then stood up and went to the bookshelves in her office to get the book, while Azeed eats his dinner.

After a few minutes, Queen Velverosa then returned to the Diner, where Azeed is still eating.

Welcome back.

Azeed said.

I hope you haven't eaten everything, but here, we only have the History of the Axis Continent.

Queen Velverosa said after arriving.

She then put the book on the table in front of Azeed and went back to her seat.

Why is the name different?

Azeed asked.

The Axuuhh Continent and the Axis Continent are the same, and the World's name is Axuuhh as well, Axuuhh was branded after many Kingdom worshippers based it on their so-called God.

Queen Velverosa explained.

Is their God named Axuuhh?

Azeed thought, asking.

I have a more important question, at least for me, does this name ring any bells?

Azeed asked.

He then showed the name "Ivan".

It's smudged, you should have an inscriptor fix this.

Queen Velverosa said.

It's fixable by an inscriptor?

Azeed asked.

Yes, I believe they only have to restore the writing's previous state to fix it, though I'm not an expert at that.

Queen Velverosa said.

Why the hell didn't I think of that?

Azeed thought.

I have one.

Azeed said.

He used one of his skills, God's Grace, restoring the book from its effect, restoration.

He then attempted to restore the book's previous state, but only the portion was restored.

Fo__ivan Dra___ia

It's obvious, that's Forcivan Dragonia.

| North Continent/Demon Nation |

Forcivan Dragonia? Have I heard that name before? It seems to be someone I know, VA?

I have no answer for that.

Oh, come on! You're an Ancient Demon, you should know this.

I red some of the articles of Ao Kijin before, and I learn so many things about her like she has been living ever since the creation of this world, and she can revive by possessing other people and controlling them.

Thinking about it, will she possess me too?

That doesn't prove anything, I'm only inside your head.

And if she doesn't want to share it, I won't push it.

Well, Anywho, It also says here that they are the humans that defended the last Humans who are at war against God?! What in the world is happening here?!

MISS SARION.

Someone at the back called me, whilst I was reading.

I then looked at who called and it's a Demon Butler, do I know this guy?

Umm...

Hello?

I said, awkwardly.

I AM QUEBEC, ONE OF THE ONLY COMMANDERS OF HIS MAJESTY.

Commander Quebec introduced himself.

I don't really remember.

Oh, I might've forgotten, hello, good to meet you.

I said.

YES, YES, I HAVE HEARD OF YOU BEFORE, FROM HIS MAJESTY, AND WE HAVE SEEN EACH OTHER BEFORE, THIS IS PROBABLY THE FIRST TIME WE ARE TALKING TO EACH OTHER.

He said.

I see, sorry I don't really remember, but why are you here? You seem to be the guy that is always with the King.

I asked.

OH, I AM HERE TO RETRIEVE SOME DOCUMENTS FOR HIS MAJESTY, FUNNY ENOUGH, YOU HAVE ONE OF THEM.

He said, as he points at the book I'm reading.

Oh, I'm just really looking at it, you can take it if you want.

I said.

I then stood up from my chair and gave him the Book.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, WHAT ARE YOU READING IN HERE, MISS SARION?

He asked.

Oh, I originally wanted to read some past articles of something, then I got engrossed in this book's story.

I said.

AH, YES, THE HISTORY OF AXIS, I ONLY HEARD OF ITS OCCURRENCE BACK THEN, BUT I NEVER SAW IT HAPPEN.

He said.

If you don't mind, can I ask? You seem to have heard some of the stories here before, have you seen this guy before, this over here?

I asked as I point the name, Forcivan Dragonia.

IF MISS SARION IS POINTING AT FORCIVAN, I ONLY KNOW HIM AS THE SUMMONED HUMAN HERO, HE VISITED THIS NATION ONCE AND NEVER RETURNED AFTER, I HEARD HIM FROM MY FATHER BACK THEN.

Commander Quebec said.

Do you know what he looks like?

I asked, I'm too eager to know.

I BELIEVE HE HAD RED HAIR, THOUGH THAT IS THE ONLY THING I HEARD ABOUT HIS APPEARANCE.

He said.

I then sat back on my chair, surprised, at first, I surely believe that his name was only used here coincidentally, but hearing his hair color red.

I was sure it was him.

So that's him...

Who?

Forcivan Dragonia is a game character from a game played by someone I used to play with back in my world and knowing him being here as that name, I kind of having a slight hope, that that guy... is here too.

Who is "that" other "guy?"

ARE YOU WELL, MISS SARION?

Commander Quebec asked.

I'm fine, hey, Commander, can I asked where the Axis Continent located?

I asked.

YOU MEAN THE AXUUHH CONTINENT, IT WAS CHANGED TO THAT BUT IT IS THE SAME CONTINENT.

He said.

That's good to know.

Though where is it?

I asked.

IF YOU GO TO THE NORTHEAST SIDE OF THIS CONTINENT, THEN THAT IS WHERE THE QUICKEST WAY TO GET THERE, YOU CAN EVEN SEE IT FROM THERE, THOUGH AS YOU RED IT, IT WAS PROTECTED BY A GIANT BARRIER, AND IT IS NOT A BARRIER THAT FOOLS AROUND, NONE HAVE ENTERED IT FOR MANY CENTURIES.

Commander Quebec explained.

Okay, then I'll catch you later.

I said.

I'm gonna go take a look at it for myself.

OKAY, I WILL SEE YOU SOON TOO, MISS SARION.

He said.

I waved goodbye to him and headed out of the Grand Library.

THANK YOU FOR INQUIRING TO OUR GRAND LIBRARY.

The Counter Registrar said.

Yeah, sure.

I said.

I then went to the Northeast of the Continent, where we can locate the Northeast Harbor of the Demon Kingdom.

They seem to have taken over this entire continent, I wonder how long they accomplished this?

Approximately half of a Millennia.

As I went there, I talked to VA for a while.

Hey, VA, I know you think that if you said something about your past, I will be angry or cast you away, though I don't even know how to do them, and don't worry, I've trusted you for many months now, I trusted you for every one of my secrets too, just like Sune, though I probably trust you longer than her too, no offense for her, I want you to trust me.

I said.

I cut off signal with Sune because she can talk to me too.

Nice, you're like her AI too.

I shall share with you some portion of my past, the other, I shall leave for later.

It's fine, take your time, right now.

I arrived at the Northeast Harbor, I then went to the top of the Harbor's highest building to see the horizon.

The Axis Continent.

Right now, I want to know the truth about my two old allies.

I said.
