The 1.000 year Great Sage ---> COMPLETED STORY

In his room, Seya was looking at his production lines, that were making Magic Crystals, no-stop.

- Well, everything is working. Queen Titania, are you here?

- Of course, dear Seya, I'm always near you.

- That means that whenever Ryn comes during the evening, you…

- No! Of course not! I know very well when I should leave! Besides, I saw what you did to that Fallen God, Araban. I don't want that you get mad with me!

- Well, I think I would never be mad you, my dear Queen. By the way, before I forgot, I want you to come to my birthday party.

- Of course, dear Seya, considering that I follow you everywhere, me being there, it's a given.

- No, not like that. I want you next to me, in your human form and with those beautiful wings of yours. And, can you also invite Xenya? We didn't part well last time, but I still like her. I think she only saw me as her rival or someone to annoy, but I always liked her. I always considered her one of my oldest friends.

- Me, in human form? But Seya, us Fairies always lived hidden. We've been doing that, for Millennia! Like that, we never get in trouble with other races.

- Yes, and that's why most of them, still think that Fairies doesn't exist. No, it's about time for you all to be recognized as an amazing force in this world. The Fairies have been doing an amazing job in protecting the children and many of you already died for that.

- Yeah… one of these days, you should ask your mother the story of how a Fairy saved her when she was still a baby. If it wasn't for one of my kind, you may not even be born…

- Really? She never told me that… one more reason for me to be thankful to you…

- We Fairies don't need recognition for what we do, but I appreciate your gesture. Ok, I'll be there in a beautiful white dress and with my wings shining. Hihihi! I'm sure Xenya will love to come, she may not look like it sometimes, but she really likes you, a lot! By the way, not that it's my business, but shouldn't you already have met Ryn's parents? Or you are waiting for your birthday to do that? Because on that day I don't think you will have time and patience for that.

- Yeah, I should have done that, ages ago… Ryn didn't complain until now, but I'm sure she would like if I did that. Maybe I can go to meet them in the morning.

- No, go in the afternoon. One of my Fairies told me that tomorrow morning you are going to have a visit from the fallen Empire. I think you'll give priority to that.

- Ok, my sweet secretary, I'll do just that. Any more changes on my schedule for tomorrow?

- Sec… secretary… what's that?

- Ahahah! Nothing, just an old joke. It's just a name for a job that it's normally done by a woman to the owner of a big company. One of her tasks, its organizing her boss' schedule.

- Ahahah! I see! So you're saying that I'm not only your bodyguard but because I told you about your visit tomorrow, it's like I'm a secretary, taking care of your schedule? Ahahah! Yeah, that's really funny!

- Well, better if I go to sleep, or tomorrow I'll be grumpy and without any patience for that visit.

- Yeah… because one of them, it's that fat and greasy Slave Trader. Maybe you should also prepare more Magic Crystals for him.

- I hate that guy… Well, I need to sleep. Do Fairies also sleep?

- Not really, but we can if we want to. Have a good sleep, dear Seya, I'll be next to you, as always.

…

After some time, a girl's voice was heard through Seya's Communicator Crystal.

- 'Seya, are you asleep?'

- … yes, I'm in a deep sleep… annoying voice… shut up…

- ' Stupid brat! Open Gateway! Allow it, for me to slap you!'

- … 'Gateway Authorized!'… 'Light On!'... Oh, Ryn and her beautiful see-through nightgown… can't sleep?

- Well, I was sleeping, but then I started to think about something and I got a little worried… 'Gateway Close!' Give some space in there.

- Yes, Madam! So, what got you so worried about?

- Well… you see… you didn't meet my parents yet, so…

- Hey, I've met your father a lot of times in the Palace!

- Did you ever talk with him or with my mother about dating me?

- No… not really… I always have problems with parents, I rather not deal with them.

Ryn made a sad face, she seemed disappointed.

- I see…

- You look somewhat disappointed. Well, I was thinking about meeting them on my birthday, but Titania pointed to me that on that day, I may have a lot of things to deal with, so maybe I could go and meet them after lunch, tomorrow?

Ryn's eyes started to shine.

- Really? That would be great! I can talk to my father with my Communicator Crystal and tell him to expect our visit!

- Of course, how else he would keep in touch with all his company's branches all over the place? You know, he's making a lot of money and he has been receiving a lot of orders from other countries and because of your farming equipment, he had to open a new branch in the RabbitKind Kingdom and another in the BeastKind.

- Well, seems that I've conquered your father already. What about your mother?

- Well, you may have some trouble with her. You may need to fight her and prove that you can protect me if needed. She used to be a famous security guard, her nickname was 'Two Sides of Death'.

- Really? I know that name! I've read some stories of her adventures! I even met some people that were on long course caravans that were being protected by her! Is she such a good fighter and as powerful as those stories say?

- You now my Magic level, right? I don't think that even with all my training so far I'm a match to her.

- That's so cool… I really should have met her before… I would have never guessed that 'Two Sides of Death' is your mother… so cool…

- Now, you know what would be very cool? If you kissed me because I'm getting a little anxious and I need to calm down! Heheheh!

- Oh? That can't be, of course! Please, allow me to calm you down.

- Yes, please! Heheheh!

…

Special Note - Stopping the report for this evening!

…

Next morning, Ryn was the first to wake up and she was looking at Seya's sleeping face. At least, she thought he was sleeping.

- You are amazing, my love. I really don't deserve you.

Seya opened his eyes and he smiled.

- I feel the same, dear Ryn.

- You weren't sleeping? I… I…

Seeing Ryn all red and embarrassed Seya hugged her.

- If you want, I can pretend that I didn't hear anything, ok?

- Yeah… can you open a Gateway to my bedroom? I need to take a bath to drown my embarrassment.

- Ahahah! Ok… there. See you downstairs for breakfast.

As soon as Ryn crossed the Gateway, Seya dispersed it. He quickly got up and he used Water and Wind Magic to shower himself and then, Fire and Wind to dry up. He then quickly put on some clothes and he started to think about what he wanted to do for that day. And he remembered something.

- I didn't invite Gramps Barunger for my birthday! And I need to confirm if Queen Athena of the Mermaids got the message from the Goddess! Well, better late than never.

Seya opened a Gateway to the throne room of King Barunger. On the other side, Barunger was seated at a table with Igneel at his side. They looked to be waiting for some food.

- Gramps, may I interrupt you?

- Seya! Hello, what's up?

- Well, I kind of forgot to invite you to my birthday in two days from now. Princess Heiji asked me to remember you of her engagement party and I totally forgot to say anything when I came here with Hina.

- Yeah, I figured that much. Hina made that invitation for you, and I got a message over the Communicator Device from King Rohan.

- Sorry about that, I have too many things on my mind, lately. Princess Heiji also wants to invite Minister Igneel.

- You always had that problem, a small mind inside that big head of yours! Ahahah! Don't worry, we'll be there. And thanks for your invitation, even if you just remembered, you stupid brat!

Seya looked at Igneel and he made a deep bow.

- I would also be honored if the Elder Igneel came to my party. Not Minister Igneel, that one, I don't like very much.

Igneel smiled and he also made a deep bow.

- The honor will be mine, Seya 'Taly' Denar'an Hinamoto.

King Barunger was puzzled by that polite treatment.

- Now, that's a first…

- Have a good day, Gramps, I need to do one more invitation.

- So, I wasn't the only one that you forgot? Ahahahah! Crazy brat! You're indeed the son of Rolland! Ahahahah!

Seya dispersed the Gateway and he waved at the two Dwarfs that were still laughing. He made another one, directly into the throne room of the Castle of Athena, the Queen of the Mermaids. He quickly made a shield in front of it, before seawater came from it. On the other side, the Queen was seated at the long table, next to her older daughter, Attina, both on her mermaid forms. Her other daughters weren't there yet, maybe they were still coming.

- My Queen, may I interrupt for a moment?

- Seya! Long time no see! What are you up to?

- My love! My love came to see me!

Attina swims to the Gateway, only to bump hard against the shield.

- Ouch! My head! What… What's this? Mother, there's some sort of wall in front of this!

- I bet it's for you not to go to him! Ahahahah! He's still afraid of you, my daughter!

- Not quite, it was only for all the sea water doesn't come here. And the fact that it stopped this crazy woman, is just a bonus!

Attina frown and she punched the shield in front of the Gateway.

- You meanie! Why did you open this Gateway, then? To mock my heart?

- No, my beautiful Mermaid Princess. I wanted to make sure that the Goddess gave my invitation to you and Queen Athena, to go to my birthday party in two days from now, in Rohan's Castle.

Athena smiled and she nodded.

- Yes, dear Seya, she did. But I'm glad that you came in person. She was very specific on your message, me and the heir to the throne, but not Ariel. I still don't know what happened between you two, for you to dislike her so much.

-So, she never told you what she did. That figures, that spoiled brat didn't want for her mother to scold her. You did a very good job of raising all of your daughters, my Queen, but that one is really rotten.

- Seya, that's a very mean thing to say about my sweet little daughter!

- For you, she may be sweet, for me, she's just an error of my past that I should have killed years ago. But I was soft at that time. Please make sure so that she never appears before me again, or I will kill her on the spot. I don't trust her and the ones I don't trust, I don't want near me.

Queen Athena and Princess Attina had her mouth open. They heard the harsh tone on Seya's voice and they both saw the Dark Magic around him when he started to talk about Ariel. The Queen nodded.

- Ok, dear Seya. I'll make sure so that she never crosses your path again. And I thank you for your invitation. The Goddess told me that Princess Heiji will have her engagement party on that day too, and that means a lot of humans and other races will be there.

- Yes, and I will introduce you to everyone and explain what you are doing about protecting the world, since the beginning of times.

The Queen looked worried.

- Seya, the Goddess warned me about that, but I'm still not sure if that's the best option. We always worked in hidden. We are used to that and prefer that way.

- Maybe you are, but I think that not every Mermaid thinks that way. I know that many like to travel to other countries in disguise. I bet that some, may prefer to live else were, if that were possible.

- You are right, some of my Mermaids are already living in other countries. But they always come to the sea, to do their duty when they are needed. Ok, I will trust your judgment. Even the Goddess trusts you, so, I see no point on doubting your intentions.

- Thank you, my Queen. Princess Attina, you need to behave at my party, or I can't guarantee your safety. My girlfriend will kill you if you try to grab me.

- Your… girlfriend? Did you find a mate?

- Yes. One that really loves me, not one that wants to use me as a breeding horse, like a certain Mermaid that I know.

Attina became silent while biting her lip. Seya did a light bow while the Gateway was dispersing.

- Goodbye my Queen and Princess, see you both in two days.
