Supreme Origin: Time King

"Chloe, Chloe, wake up, your father had given us a mission." With a sound, two strong hands lifted Chloe from the mattress, causing her to open her eyes slowly.

"What? Can't you go alone and let me sleep a while more." Chloe looked at his eyes and said lazily.

There was a loud bang as Elijah drooped her on the ground and threw her magician robe upon her.

"Change your clothes and meet me in five minutes."Elijah said before leaving the tent.

"Let's go get our breakfast on the city first and we will talk about the mission as we eat." As he was talking, Elijah grabbed Chloe who was still sleepy and walked to a food stand nearby the city gates.

"So, what's our mission?" Chloe asked with her mouth full of rice and chicken.

"Your father had given the mission to find a informant on the underground city of Galdirth as this informant may have news about the backer of the Briles Kingdom. As this mission is of extreme importance, the two of us will go first and a backup team will go later if things go wrong. We will leave after the sunset." Elijah said so much that Chloe stopped paying attention in the middle of what he was saying.

"Do you know where this underground city is?" As he said that, Elijah walked to the outskirts of the camp.

Chloe followed him towards the outskirts. Very soon, both of them were far away from the camp area, and she turned to look at Elijah, saying.

"Look."Elijah said while pointing to a horse carriage which was a few meters away from them

"Do you know how to use it?" Chloe asked blankly.

"Of course, you just need to sit on back and i will drive it." Elijah said with his face full of confidence.

"Okay then, i will put our things on the back and you can drive as you said it was easy." Chloe was a bit suspicious about if this would work.

Just as Elijah get up the carriage, the horses began to run quickly.

A few moments later the cries of two people could be heard from the woods.

"You idiot! You had said you know how to drive a horse carriage!"

"But i know! it's just that i was always with father when i drive it. You are the idiot to think a twelve year old boy would really know how to drive it!"

"Shit! Keep your eyes on the road or we are going to crash."

...

"Let's rest a while." Elijah had finally managed to halt the carriage. After several hours on a emotional trip with the carriage, they were at the end of the forest and Elijah set up a small camp there.

Looking for a relatively spacious spot, he took several things like a table, a pot, a several vegetables and bottles of spice from his smartphone. Elijah placed the pot by the fire and grabbed a few herbs from the ground around them, before placing the herbs inside the pot.

"Chloe, can you give me one of your knives?"Then he looked at Chloe who was still surprised seeing him cooking.

"Yeah, take one." Chloe took a knife from her pocket and passed it to Elijah who began cutting the vegetables above the table.

Chloe noticed that Elijah's hands were very nimble and in a few quickly movements, all the potatoes and carrots had been transformed into several thin pieces.

Then he put the vegetables on the pot and the herbs he had dropped on it had all become a green liquid overflowing with life energy. She had not even managed to get a clear look at his actions before he dropped a soup on two small pots, so he took out two spoons and handed one to Chloe.

From start to completion, Elijah had made all of this in several minutes, his movements were adept, and it was obviously not the first time he cooked like this.

"Ell, where you had learned this?" Chloe could not help herself and asked as she never knew he could cook.

"More than one year ago, when i was in the caravan going to the academy. I had met a few older ladies who had teach me how to cook." Then he pointed to the soup.

"The herb i had put on the soup is called wood stalk, is a unique local specialty in our northwest region and it can only be found here. When you warm a wood stalk, it turns into a medicinal soup equivalent to a rank 1 potion but this herb don't works with other herbs so no alchemist uses it on their potions. But is extremely delicious, especially when cooked with other vegetables."

They lifted their spoon, and they started eating. The soup was a pale-green color with the pieces of vegetables floating on it. It had the taste of berries and light fragrance, the fresh and tender potatoes were already extremely delicious, made even more so with the soup and carrots.

The pot which was filled to the top, after a short while, it has been polished off by the two of them. Elijah took his smartphone and began mapping the area.

"Ell, where exactly we going to? At least let me have some idea." Chloe asked with her voice full of curiosity.

"From what i know, Galdirth is near the continent's center. So we are going to the Kouzia Empire's Riverfrost City as they have flying type magical beasts who will make the travel easy. As for the carriage we will left it in the next city, which is a few kilometers from here then we will go walking..."

'BOOM!'

At this very moment, a huge explosion rumbled in that area when a great light blinded them. After a few seconds their vision came back and Elijah asked. "Chloe, are you okay?"

"I don't know what happened right now, but i think something has crashed." Then she get up from the ground full of dirt. "Ell, Come, let's see what is happening."

Reaching a huge crater, they saw three people in the middle of the crater and Elijah's first reaction when he realized who they were was... "Shit!"
