Emperor's Reckoning

"Mother, mother, mother!" said Luna while sobbing endlessly. She held Leyna tightly and nervously afraid to let her go even for a second.

The scene was so beautiful that everybody inside the chamber had tears in their eyes except for Lyon who passed out on the ground.

Leyna smiled, and stroke Luna's hair slowly, "Wow, look at you, you are so big now, c'mon big girls don't cry."

*sob

*sob

Luna slowly let go of her embrace and wipe the tears out of her face and try to force a smile.

Argeon still couldn't believe his eyes, everybody else might get tearful in their eyes, but he still couldn't believe he just saw someone being resurrected. (Oh I got to tell big brother!), then he rushed to Anskar's chamber.

*thud

*thud

Everyone inside the chamber began to kneel one by one, their right arms were on their chest and they closed their eyes for a moment before facing down, "Long Live the Queen!"

Leyna calmly raised her hand and everyone was pardoned to stand.

Leyna noticed that there was someone laying on the ground, "Hmm? who is this young man?"

"Oh! Lyon are you okay? hey Lyon!" said Luna nervously, while keep shaking his body.

Seeing her reaction, Leyna could easily guess that her daughter had feelings for this young man.

"Oh, are you forgetting your mother already?" teased Leyna.

Realized what she was doing she stop what she was doing, "N-n-no, mother this is not what it looks like."

"It's alright, we have much time to catch up to," chuckled Leyna.

"Please bring this young man to a chamber to be treated," commanded Leyna.

"Yes!" the guard gladly accept the order.

Karina and co followed the guard who brought Lyon which leaves Luna and Leyna inside the chamber.

"Now then, let's see your father," said Leyna.

"Yes!" smiled Luna.

----------------------------

Inside Anskar's chamber,

"Are you telling the truth?!" asked Anskar

"Yes, big brother when did I ever lie to you?" said Argeon.

"Then I must go see her now!" said Anskar as he struggled to get up from his bed.

Argeon didn't stop him but instead helped him walk toward the chamber where Leyna was.

As they step outside, they noticed that snow began to fall, wrapping the yard and the river. In a narrow hall, with a falling snow scenery, the two finally met once again.

Despite the strong stature of Anskar, he was trembling right at this moment. The woman who he always wanted to meet again was finally in front of his eyes. Their memories started to replay in his mind once again.

He let go of Argeon and started to walk hurriedly but unsteadily. He was swaying as he walked but in his eyes was only on one thing, his lovely wife.

*bruggg

Anskar embraced his wife tightly just like Luna, not letting her go, afraid she was gone the moment he did so. The only sound that could be heard was the snow falling to the ground, it was very peaceful, but Luna finally saw something she never thought of.

Her father was crying, yet no sound was able to come out of his mouth. His tears were all over the place, his cheeks, the floor, everywhere near his face was covered in his tears as he just held her mother tightly and tightly. The two finally reunited once more and the falling snow was happened to be the same as the very first time they met.

----------------------------

Another legend was added to Lyon's tale, and he finally had a nickname, 'The Sage'. His name was carved in the history of the kingdom by Anskar personally. There will be a statue of him located on the river intersection in the castle yard. The statue was of him topless and in a motion of reciting a spell.

But Lyon didn't know about this until later on when he revisited this kingdom.

----------------------------

One day later.

Lyon was still on top of his bed laying motionlessly for the outsider to see. But the truth was, he was having a critical conversation with the true dragon.

"So, what is your name?" asked Lyon.

"Call me Shen Long, and I'm your teacher." said the true dragon.

"Alright then, I will call you teacher Long then."

"Hahahaha, even though you can't remember it, your mind subconsciously do. You used to call me teacher Long too back then."

"Well, first thing first, where did you come from? How can't other people see you?"

"I'm now an element unlike back then I now had no true body," sighed Shen.

"I found you when I was hovering over the world and just came across this continent, I know your aura more than anyone else kiddo. So I come right to you."

"Knowing that it was you, I'm really glad we didn't sacrifice in vain." there was a tinge of sadness inside Shen's eyes.

"Listen closely to this short story. There was once a continent hidden from the world, and only an exile from its race or clan were the inhabitants. To be exact there were only twelve inhabitants, I was one among them. Even though they were treated like criminals by their own kin, they live harmoniously in that continent.

"Then after some time, we were greeted by the thirteenth inhabitant. We were so eager to greet him or her, but when we found out, we were stupefied.

"It was a baby, a human boy." Shen's voice became hoarse as he looked at Lyon tenderly.

"We were wondering why would a human boy came into this hidden continent. But the boy looked at us innocently without any fear. He blinked his eyes, and pull my moustache while laughing."

"Then we decided to take care of the boy, checked his affinity, talent, alchemy, basically anything. The result astonished us, it was the most ridiculous thing we ever saw. The boy was talentless, don't have any affinity, he was a total trash."

"But we loved him anyway, we trained him to be the best cultivator with our knowledge."

Unknown to Lyon, his face which was laying down on the bed was covered in warm liquids from his right eye.
