The 1.000 year Great Sage ---> COMPLETED STORY

While Seya was talking to the RabbitKind Royal couple, Null went to talk with the King and Queen Rohan. He was still puzzled by the moves they made, against their attackers.

The King nodded while raising one eyebrow.

- Of course! We learned it with Seya and we often practice it with our Royal Guards. Well, in reality, those two moves are being taught in our Kingdom's schools for some years, now. And I know it's also like that in the RabbitKind Kingdom. If I recall correctly, those were the moves that you and Seya used when you two underwent the Denar'an Trials, the most amazing ones over the last 1.000 years. I was once told that not even the Elders RabbitKind, remember of such outstanding Trials.

Null became all red with embarrassment and he made a little smile. Xenya was watching from afar and she sent a kiss to him when their eyes met.

In another corner of the room, Queen Denar'an was still staring at her two daughters, thinking. Seya bowed to them and he went to see King Rohan that was calling him.

The King addressed the crowd in the throne room, and they all went to the gardens of the Castle, to see the statue that Eridan made, as an engagement gift to Princess Heiji. In there, the Royal Guard was still keeping a watch over it and by an order of the King, he took the cover from the statue. Before the King's surprised eyes, there it was, a real-size statue of Princess Heiji and John, kissing each other. All the guests applauded the beautiful statue and the cute pose of the couple, making John and Heiji blush a lot. The King shook his head and he tried to strangle Seya that hid behind the Queen. After some talk with his guests, the King returned to the throne room, followed by everyone.

The lunch was served, while some dancers performed. During the entire afternoon, there was a lot of entertainment for the guests. After all, it was an engagement party, so the King made sure to make it a memorable celebration. In more than one occasion, Heiji complained it was boring because no one was trying to kill or fight her and there were no serious fights or traitors trying to take over the throne, like during the morning. Heiji even tried to pick a fight with Arys, only to make her using a Dark tentacle to slap hard Heiji's butt a few times, making her unable to sit properly for the rest of the day. King Barunger slapped Seya's head every time he got near him, as a punishment for his rudeness over the last years, towards the King of the Dwarfs. Sully, Cemil, Anna, and Rolland, were happily teasing Null and Xenya, and from time to time, they teased Ryn, Lionelia, and Seya.

Right before dinner, Princess Attina asked Seya to introduce her to his girlfriend, only to face a very serious Ryn Mycym and Lionelia Leonheart. She was puzzled by that sight and she looked at Seya, wondering what the meaning of that was. He was supposed to have one mate, not two! Seya just shrugged his shoulders.

- Well, this kind of happened. I'm as surprised as you are!

Ryn and Lionelia approached Princess Attina, and Ryn warned her, very closely.

- We know that the Goddess asked Seya to give you a child so that your baby could keep an eye over Ariel, while she grows up. She explained to us her reasons and we agree with her, Ariel needs to be watched very closely while growing up. And your mother too, just to make sure that she does a better job with Ariel, this time. A Mermaid between you and Seya can be a good thing, for the future of this world. But don't you think that you can have any chance with him! We will allow one night, with you and him completely dressed, with the minimum of skin touching and a sheet with a small hole between you two, just for the making of the baby. If you want to use him as a breeding horse, you'll get a breeding horse! Nothing more!

Attina gulped, but she mustered the courage to speak.

- But… I love him, and to have him only like that, it's… And if Seya falls in love over me?

Lionelia poked Attina chest while looking at her with angry eyes.

- If that happens, little Mermaid, we'll talk more. We'll see if you are worthy off joining our family. But if you try any dirty move like using your voice, your singing or Magic to seduce him, I'll make sure that you have a worst fate than those traitors had, this morning. I will personally rip off your fish fins and make you eat them, raw! And after that, I'll slice you, roast you and eat you. I really like fish meat and I'm guessing that Mermaids being half fish, are even more delicious!

Attina turned pale and she slowly nodded.

During dinner, Lionelia was looking at her and every time that Lionelia was eating fish, she smiled at Attina while munching. Attina didn't eat much, during dinner. Ryn had a lot of trouble, holding her laughter while Seya was kicking Lionelia's feet under the table, to make her stop. But Lionelia didn't give up on making sure that Attina understood that her warning was very serious.

After dinner, there was more entertainment in the throne room, but that time, it was the members of the 'Sun Circ'. When they entered, they immediately made the same greeting towards Seya that they did in the Coliseum. Sully and Cemil had tears in their eyes by seeing their student being greeted like the true Denar'an Master that he became under their guidance. During the show, everyone was amazed by the different uses of the Gateway Magic or the Compressed Dimension. Heiji was invited to participate, and she used her experience with Seya's Gateway, to go through one Gateway to hit one target, going into another Gateway to get another one while escaping some arrows that were thrown against the Gateways. In the end, everyone applauded the show. Before the 'Sun Circ' left the room, they did the same silent greeting towards Seya and they quickly left.

Late in the evening, the music started to play, coming from the orchestra in the corner because it was time for the grand ball. After all, it was a long-time tradition, to end a special celebration like the engagement party of the heir to the throne, with a ball. John and Heiji opened the ball and soon, there were a lot of pairs around them, dancing. And some triples, like the RabbitKind Royal Family and Seya, Ryn and Lionelia. After one more hour, the King declared the day as ending and the guests started to leave. Seya went to the top of the stairs, near the throne where Heiji was already and they thanked the guests for coming and Seya made a deep bow, apologizing for the commotion during the morning. The guests appreciated the gesture and most of them just smiled while others said it was interesting and a small number even said it was the greatest party that they attended, for years!

When the Nobles and rich merchants left, Seya and Heiji said their farewells to the special guests, the Fairies, the Mermaids, the Dragonoids and the LizardKind. King Barunger hugged Seya, with tears in his eyes and he quickly left before Seya could see it. King Leonhard and Lionelia also left and before they crossed the Gateway back to their castle, Lionelia turned back, went to Ryn and kissed her cheek and then she kissed Seya in the lips.

- I'll come to see you late this evening. It will be our first night so make it memorable, ok?

Seya smiled and he nodded. Lionelia winked one eye to an ashamed Ryn and she quickly went through the Gateway. Master Eridan and Inia used their own Gateway to leave. The Elfians left with Minister Narn and Seya's parents left with Xenya holding Null's arm. Titania went near Seya and she shrunk to her Fairy size and she went on hiding, as Seya's bodyguard.

Seya's friends left with their own parents, one after the other, and the parents talked a little with Seya, thanking him for his friendship with their sons or daughters. Zak's parents were ecstatic. They were invited to the Castle, met the King and Queen, saw a lot of Magical Beings and they were happy with Hina. They knew the reputation that she had, as one of the best bodyguards of the Kingdom. She was not a Noble, but she was more amazing than a sheltered Noble's daughter! Seya and Heiji thanked their friend's parents for raising such fine sons and daughters and they all left.

Finally, Seya, Heiji, and the Royal Rohan couple were the only ones left in the throne room. The King seated at his throne, the Queen went to hers and Seya seated on the stairs, resting his head on his knees. Heiji seated next to him and she caressed his head.

- I guess this day really tired you up, right?

- Yes, it was one surprise after the other! Barunger is my grandfather, Talya saved my mother when she was a baby, Lionelia in my life again with Ryn understanding and becoming her friend, traitors trying to kill you, a resentful Mermaid trying to kill me, the Goddess saying that I should give a baby to Attina and one to Talya… Yeah, really tiring.

- Babies? I didn't hear that part! What about Ryn? I'm sure she didn't like that, I saw her talking with little Aria, she looked very angry!

- Yeah, she and Lionelia didn't like one bit. Well, all this mess at least served for those Nobles that wanted to marry you with their sons, to get a good look at John's abilities. I doubt any of those sons would be able to defend themselves, as John did.

- Yes, my dear John was really amazing. I thought I had to help him, but he was so fast! I don't know how he managed to gather his Magic so quickly!

Seya lifted his head and he smiled at Heiji.

- You didn't notice that he gathered a lot of Magic in his hands as soon as I told in that room that there was danger in here? I think that all his work as a Security Guard gave him some sharp senses and reactions.

- Yeah… He told me once that he was always training by fighting with Hina, Myra, and Ryn. Sometimes, all of them at the same time! My John is truly amazing!

- Yeah, you choose well, my little sister, really well. Now, don't you make something stupid and let him escape!

- Of course not! And what about you? What are you planning to do next?

- Well, I need to go to my room at Baron's Frank house, and try to sleep a little, if I can. Tomorrow, we have school again. I need to have a talk with the Principal early in the morning because I'm quitting being a student there. I don't have time to always be at school, I have many people in my lands to take care of. But I will still give the class Applications of Magic if the Principal allows me too.

- You are quitting? But, the school will be so boring without you there! I… will be lonely…

- No, you won't. You have a lot of friends that like you. And I know that there are even more students in that school that I don't know and you became friends with. If you want to see me or talk to me, you have the Gateway and the Communicator Crystals that I gave you.

- Yeah, but it will not be the same thing, like seeing the students or the teachers going nuts because of you! Heheheh!

The King was hearing their conversation and he interrupted them after smiling at his Queen.

- Seya, I already told you, but thanks for today. It was tiring, but it was also memorable. I'm sure this day will go straight to the History books, all over the world. I don't remember in all our History, to ever have so many amazing things happening on the same day! Heiji was right, having her party together with yours was really a good idea. I'm wondering what will happen when she marries on your birthday again!

Seya smiled and he got up, faced the Royal couple and bowed.

- I'm so sorry for all this mess, I just wanted to introduce my guests to the world, I would never have guessed that Ariel would have a plan with some Nobles to kill you both and my sweet little Princess.

The Queen got up and she hugged Seya.

- My dear, if it weren't for your help over these past years, we would be dead by now. Since the first day that we met you when Heiji got injured by that accident that now we know it was an assassination attempt, you didn't stop on helping us or our Kingdom and everyone that lives here. You deserve our gratitude. And I agree with my King, this day was memorable! And funny too, seeing you fainting like a girl when you saw your first girlfriend was unforgettable!

Seya smiled at the Queen, a little embarrassed.

- Yeah, that, I wasn't expecting. And what was more surprising, was seeing Ryn being so understandable!

- Yes, seems that my little talk with her got her thinking and preparing for this day. But I'm curious, when you met Lionelia for the first time, she was a boy and you didn't know?

- Yes, the crown Prince, Lionel, disguised as a Royal maid. I never knew until he told me, two years ago. I couldn't accept that, I turned him down and left. I went to the LizardKind prairies and fought Demonoids and trained with the LizardKind, for three days. In the last day, I went to Demonoid Island, to kill myself in a fight with some of them. The Goddess came in the nick of time and took me from there. She scolded me for two hours in the Eternal Forest, she was so angry with me! I hadn't any news about Lionel or Lionelia over these past two years, but it seems that she was getting some news or rumors about me. I would have never expected that the Goddess turned Lionel into a real girl, and she did it as a surprise for my birthday! I guess she thought it was a good present for my birthday.

- Yes, it was indeed a good gift. I think you even conquered the Goddess.

- Maybe, or maybe not. I think she's always waiting to see me pushing my luck a little too much, to punch me again. She made an offer yesterday, to a very special job and I barged with her. She wasn't very pleased, I think that she was expecting that I would blindly accept. I got her thinking on my proposal, I'm waiting for her answer.

Princess Heiji jumped with that information.

- What kind of job was that? And you refused?

- I didn't refuse, I negotiated. She asked me to be the Protector of the LizardKind. It's tempting me, but I don't think I deserve it. There must be a Dragonoid or a Fairy more worthy than me.

Princess Heiji frowned, like if she was thinking very hard.

- Well, I think you deserve it. Considering that you are already guiding and advising them over these past years, you are already doing that job. But what do want from her? Do you want more Magic?

- No, I need her help on the fallen Empire, to make sure that the people don't make problems for the rest of the world. Until now, they were following the guidance of the Old Book of the Goddess, and I think that there's a strong influence in there from the Knight Sage. Let's see what she decides. Well, it's best if I leave, it's getting late. See you tomorrow, little Princess. My King, my Queen, have a good evening.

The King went near Seya and he held his hands.

- Goodbye Seya, see you soon.

Seya opened a Gateway directly to his room and bowed to the Royal Couple and to Princess Heiji, while it was dispersing. He then went to his production lines to infuse more Magic in the Big Crystals. When he finished the last one, he quickly took his clothes off and took a bath. He used Wind and Fire Magic to dry himself up and when he was dressing his pajamas, he heard a girl's voice over his Communicator Crystal.

- 'Hello, my dear Seya. Lionelia here. Where are you? And are you alone?'

- Hello, Lionelia. I'm all alone in my room at my Baron's house. Seems that you already learned how to use the Communicator Crystal that I gave you hours ago.

- 'Perfect! Now, what was that command that Ryn taught me… Gateway Open!'

- 'Gateway Authorized!' Hello… cute nightgown…

Lionelia smiled, a little embarrassed. She quickly crossed the Gateway, dressed only with a semi-transparent nightgown. It was only dim in some special places. She gave the order to close the Gateway and she made a little twirl.

- Well? What do you think? Do I look good or what?

- Judging from what I can see, yes, but I need to properly analyze you, just to make sure that everything is in the right place, to see if the Goddess made a good job.

Lionelia smiled, even redder.

- I've already checked, but I would love if you could check for me, to see if everything is to your liking… but be gentle and give me some time to get used to this, ok? I'm a little nervous.

- Of course, my dear Lionelia, I will.

…

 Special Note - Stopping the report for this evening!

…

In the morning, Seya was the first to wake up. At first, he thought everything that happened yesterday, was just a dream and then, he felt Lionelia's hand over his chest. He looked to his side and there she was, his first love, Lionelia, the LionKind with long light brown hair and yellow eyes still closed. But not for long, because Lionelia felt Seya caressing her cheek and she too woke up.

- Hello, my dear. You were even better than I imagined! But according to my informer, we need to have more nights like this and there are some things that I want to experiment with you. Considering that you already did it with Ryn…

- Of course. But aren't you breaking the rules by talking about the other partner when we are alone?

- Oops, you are right! Sorry, my mistake. I'll try to avoid talking about her when we are alone, like the rules dictates. Well, I need to get back to my room at my Castle, what about you?

- I have classes to attend because school starts today. And the class were I'm a Teacher, is the first in the morning and I must talk to the Principal before that. I need to tell him that I'm quitting school, I don't have time for that, there are many things to take care, here in my lands.

- And what about your job as a Teacher? Your students will miss you, no? I was told that you give the Applications of Magic class, and all the students in that school, attend it. And sometimes, even some teachers!

- I don't mind continuing being a Teacher in my school, I just don't have time to be a student all day. Talking about that, get up, get dressed, and out of here! You are too distractive, I must get ready or I'll be late!

- Not so fast, I need some more cuddling, to be able to endure this day without you! Come here and kiss me, you are talking too much!

- On it, my Princess!

…

 Special Note - Stopping the report for now!
