The 1.000 year Great Sage ---> COMPLETED STORY

Seya went near Myneko Ywasaky and Miriam and after a while, they all followed him to see the Hill that the Fairies were working on. When they reached there, the King couldn't believe his own eyes. The Hill was amazingly beautiful, it looked like a paradise. Seya smiled while looking around, trying to absorb all that beauty. The flowers were carefully chosen so that their colors and position, made some drawings. Watching from afar, there was a drawing of the head of a Dragonoid, the wings of a Fairy and a Mermaids tail. Around the drawings, small blueberry bushes. On a side of the Hill, a forest of trees that were making shade to some benches and tables underneath them. There was even a big pond, fed by a fountain of clear water that was coming down from the highest peak of Gaya. In the back of the pond, the excess water exited and it was falling into an eave that completely surrounded the bottom of Gaya. Like that, all the water that was gathered by the exterior walls of Gaya was falling into that eave. And that one had a lot of small holes which created a thin curtain of rain that was falling continuously over Seya's lands. Seya noticed that if he watched closely, under the afternoon sun, the descending sprayed water was creating some rainbows. Talya and her friends made an amazing job. Seya smiled, deeply moved by such beauty. He took a deep breath and when he returned to meet the others, he noticed that they were either looking away to disguise their emotions or were quickly wiping their eyes. Seya didn't say anything and he went in the direction of the Dining Room.

He invited his guests to join him at a table and asked Gaya to tell to everyone inside her, that it was almost dinner time and after that, there was going to be a performance in the Meeting Cave.

Everyone that was inside Gaya, began to arrive at the three Dining Rooms while the Maids of Company, the Servants, and the Maids, rushed to bring the food and drinks. Seya noticed that there was even wine arriving, and he wondered from where did that come. The King saw his puzzled look.

- I thought that besides me, more people like wine. So, I gave instructions to when your people went to get the supplies, there were also a lot of wine bottles available.

- Ok, I guess there's no problem if the people don't drink too much. But with that, we may lose the Dwarfs, because as soon as they realize there's wine available, they will be too happy with it.

- Ahahahah! Yes, that can happen. But they deserve it, they are doing one amazing job here.

Seya nodded.

- Yes, they really are. There are a lot of houses ready and new unblocked hallways. Considering there are always former slaves arriving, it's good that they are working so fast.

When Seya looked to one of the entrances, the group of Dwarfs was arriving and they seated at a table, smiling to the bottles of wine in front of them.

The Queen and the girls entered the room after them and they all went towards the table were Seya and his guests were waiting. He made the proper introductions and the Queen immediately asked Seya for a Jacuzzi and a sauna in her Castle.

After dinner, everyone went to the Meeting Cave. To accommodate so many people, Zak, Arys and Seya made more high levels with long benches, enough for everyone and for more that could arrive in the next days. When everyone was seated and talking, a lot of scattered voices could be heard, along with laughter. But it all stopped as soon as they all heard Gaya telling them to be quiet because the show was about to begin.

Clan Chief Myneko Ywasaky and her two apprentices entered and for the next two hours, they performed. There was even a special moment when the two apprentices were playing and Myneko Ywasaky started to dance. By using a fan or a long handkerchief, she danced, jumped, twirled, and made some movements that could only be done by a LizardKind, with her tail and extreme flexibility. Her reputation as the best dancer among the LizardKind was well deserved. In the end, she and her apprentices ended with a gracious bow, towards Seya. He got up from his seat and with tears in his eyes, he made a deep bow. It was then that Myneko Ywasaky and her two apprentices started to clap to Seya. Soon after, everyone started to clap too, while smiling or shouting towards him, as thanks for such performance. He stood up straight and he made a small bow. After some moments, he raised his right hand, asking for silence.

When everyone was waiting for his next words, he spoke.

- Clan Chief Myneko Ywasaky, thank you for this honor. This was indeed the best way that one could think of, to inaugurate this Meeting Cave. And for everyone else, thank you for being with me, to enjoy this occasion. I hope this will be the first of many performances that will be done here so that you can enjoy it.

More clapping and happy shouting resonated in the cave. The King tapped Seya's back and the Queen hugged him, deeply moved. The crowd started to exit, and some went to the Entertainment Room while others to their houses or rooms. The King and the group of Dwarfs dared Seya to play roulette while drinking a cup of wine. Seya tried to escape that, by saying that he never drank. That was his worst mistake, because the King, the Queen, and the Dwarfs wanted to drink with him while playing. When they started to play with the roulette and after a glass of wine, everything was lost for Seya. The first number that appeared in the roulette was his last memory. After that, everything went blank.

…

In the morning, Seya slowly woke up with a huge headache. He blinked a few times, trying to focus and he felt a small hand over his naked chest. He blinked a few times and then he saw his worst nightmare. Little Aria was sleeping next to him, in a childish nightgown. Seya closed his eyes again, maybe he was dreaming. He opened again, looked under the bedsheets and he saw that he was completely naked. He couldn't help it, he screamed in surprise.

- What the… Ouch! My head… What happened? What did I do?

With all the racking, little Aria woke up, smiled, caressed his left cheek and placed a leg over one of his legs and spoke in a melted voice.

- You were wonderful, dear Seya!

That was his limit. He pushed Aria away, wrapped up in the sheet and got up, going away from her and leaning against a wall, in a complete panic.

- Aahhh! What do you mean by that? What did I do? You are just a little girl! How…

Aria started to laugh.

- Knnya… knnya… knnya… knnya… The look on your face! Knnya… knnya…knnya… Nothing happened silly, I just arrived. It was a joke! Consider this as revenge from all the teasing that you did to me! I don't want anything with you with this little body! If it were my teenager form, it would be different…

Seya seated on the floor with his heart pounding.

- That is… a relief… you scared me to death… Ouch, my head... I can only remember that I was in the roulette table and the Queen was shouting that she had won. After that… What happened after that? I can't remember!

- Knnya… knnya… Well, you drunk a cup of wine while talking with the King, the Dwarfs served you another and after a while, you were holding arms with the Dwarfs while singing, drinking, and dancing. Myneko Ywasaky and your other guests went home and you waved at them while you were happily dancing. Let me see, what else… You danced with Ryn and Lionelia, tried to kiss Duncan and John, you actually managed to kiss Zak because he was a bit to slow to escape, Hina punched you for kissing her boyfriend, Lionelia punched Hina and got knocked out by Hina's fast head-kick… what else… you tried to kiss the Queen and the King kissed you instead, you threw up, saying that an old man with a mustache kissing you was disgusting, you got a punch from the Queen that totally knocked you out, the Dwarfs joined the punching and went after the Queen, and the King and your friends had a huge fight with them. There were a lot of broken noses and chairs but it all stopped when Myko arrived and he called Gaya for assistance. My cute Magical Mountain restrained everyone and Myko grabbed you and placed you in your bed, fully dressed. I arrived moments ago and I pretended that we had an amazing night. Funny, right?

Aria approached him and seated on the floor in front of him.

- You know, you could use some healing Magic to make yourself feel better, stupid Seya…

He made a small smile, concentrated a little but he immediately felt his head exploding. He clenched his teeth and gathered his Magic. Two seconds later, he opened his eyes again.

- All better. Do you mind giving back my clothes? And can you change as well? Seeing you like that it's making me nuts!

Aria nodded and she enveloped herself in light. When it dissipated, she was wearing a light yellow dress and her hair was tied in two long braids. Seya was also dressed. He kissed Aria's forehead and he got up, to place the sheet on the bed again.

- So, after I came here, what happened to the Queen, the King, and the others?

- Gaya was mad with them because they destroyed the Entertainment Room. She confined them to their rooms. They are still there until they repent and apologize to her. The Queen was knocking and screaming at the closed door of her room, to get out. She passed out from exhaustion and from all the drinking. I went to her room and I placed her and the King in a bed that Gaya made for them. They are still sleeping, as your friends are. It's too early in the morning! As for the Dwarfs, well, Gaya is particularly mad with them. She made a Crystal prison for each of them so that they couldn't escape and she spent the rest of the night scolding them. Or at least, until they passed out.

Seya was slowly shaking his head at every word, but then he heard a very weird thing.

- Gaya made a Crystal prison? How did she learn how to do that?

- Titania taught her how to change some walls, using a little bit of Magic. She became very good with that, she can now change the position of some walls, create new openings or hallways, or make new caves.

- That's so cool! But… today it's a school day, Ryn and the others must go to class. I also have to go, I need to do a special class today. The King and the Queen! They must be very mad with Gaya's punishment!

Aria shook her head while making a huge smile.

- Not with the amount of wine they drunk. I doubt that they remember what they did!

- Well, since I'm awake, it's better if I take a quick bath and change clothes before breakfast. After that, I will awake everyone and I will try to see if the Queen is mad or not.

As soon as Seya finished talking, he disappeared. He reappeared again inside Aria's Jacuzzi, with little Aria also in there with him, relaxing her head on the edge. Seya looked around and he frowned.

- Do you mind not doing this? It's too weird!

- What? You said you wanted a bath, so, I placed you in here with me. I was being a good friend and you still complain? Stupid! Shut up and relax, will you?

Seya rested his head on the edge behind him. After a deep breath, he looked at Aria.

- Ok, thanks. Nevertheless, I'm still mad at you, for deceiving me like that! I honestly thought that I made a very horrible thing to you!

- I don't see it in that way. In fact, I think if that really happened, I would never consider it a horrible thing! Weird maybe, but not horrible!

- Yeah, but it would seem very weird to me… you need to grow up a lot more, for that kind of thing to look right!

Aria enveloped herself again in bright light. When it faded, the teenager Aria was in front of him, with water covering her breasts. She smiled.

- Like this, it would look and feel better, right?

Seya frowned.

- Seems that you want to get more slapping from Ryn and Lionelia… They warned you last time, right?

Aria giggled and she enveloped again in light. When it dissipated, the grown-up Aria was resting her head in Seya's right shoulder.

- Well, I look older than you do but it doesn't seem weird to me. That means that you are the one having problems with my age.

Seya gulped. He was felling Aria's soft breast against his arm.

- Yeah, and maybe the fact that you are a Goddess is also making me feel uncomfortable. Or the fact that you are naked in here, next to me…

Aria smiled and she got even closer.

- You are saying that you don't like me being so near?

Aria was pressing her breast even harder against Seya's arm and he was feeling his heart pounding hard.

- Can you stop messing with me? I'm not made of steel, remember? Having you like this, it's too much, even for me!

Aria smiled and she went to sit in front of him.

- Yeah, you need to make a few changes in your behavior. You need to become wiser and much calmer than you are. You lose focus and you lose your temper too quickly.

- Having an amazingly beautiful Goddess pressing her breast against my arm while she leans her head on my shoulder has nothing to do with me losing focus, right?

- Knnya…knnya…knnya… Yeah… but I still like when you say I'm beautiful.

With a sudden flash, little Aria was in front of him again.

- You are rather slow and a little stupid, right? I gave you two opportunities and you missed both. Well, I don't know if you will ever get another chance. So, time to go, right?

Before Seya could say anything, he was back in his room, completely naked and still dripping wet. He quickly dried himself up while mumbling.

- She could at least dry me up before sending me here…

And the voice of little Aria came from the direction of his bed.

- Like if I was your personal maid, right? You are rather demanding for a mere mortal, aren't you?

Seya covered himself up and he scolded Aria.

- Can't you at least wait until I get dressed before appearing so suddenly like that?

- What? I saw you naked many times over these past years! You don't have anything different from the thousand of males that live in this world!

- Well… maybe… but it doesn't seem fair to me, I can't see you naked every time I feel like it, why should you?

Aria jumped to the floor and she approached him. She smiled and poked his chest with her little finger.

- I get what you mean by that. Sorry, you lost two opportunities. No second chances. Go eat, before the Queen wakes up and she makes another ruckus.

Aria slowly disappeared before a surprised Seya.

- Did she just give me a chance to be with her and I blew it? It looked like that, but it could also be her messing with me again. If she wasn't messing with me… maybe I'm more stupid than I thought!

Seya got dressed, still puzzled with Aria. He went to the dining room and a smiling Maid brought bread, fruit, and tea for him. After eating and thinking about Aria for a while, he strongly shook his head, trying that his thoughts disappeared and he went in the direction of Ryn's room. With the help of Gaya that worked as his map, he was able to find his friends' rooms and wake them up for breakfast. When he got to Queen Rohan's room, he knocked. A sleepy female voice shouted but it then mumbled in a low voice.

- Go away! Ouch… My head hurts…

- My Queen, it's Seya. Can I come in?

- Yeah, I need some healing. My head is killing me. And this King in here is not any better.

Gaya unlocked the door and Seya entered, facing a wobbling King and Queen. He quickly helped them and a few minutes later, they were seated on top of the bed, smiling at him. The Queen stretched her arms up and yawned.

- Uuaaahhh… Much better, thanks. That was a weird night! I remember some pieces and bits, but not the full story.

Gaya spoke, and she sounded annoyed.

- …||… For the Queen and the King of a country, you are very disrespectful towards your hosts! You were in a fight with the Dwarfs, you destroyed many tables and chairs in my beautiful Entertainment Room and you are saying that you don't remember what you did? I had to lock you both inside this room, for you not to destroy anything more! …||…

The Queen looked at the King and they were opening their mouths, remembering some parts of the events of the mess in which they participated. The Queen looked down, she was truly embarrassed.

- You are right, Gaya. I apologize, I lost control because of so much drinking. I know I became a little crazy when I drink too much, that is why I avoid drinking. Yesterday, everything was so amazing that I drunk a bit too much, because of all the excitement.

The King scratched his head while looking a little awkward.

- Yes, I apologize as well. Things got a little out of control.

Gaya was silent for a moment and then she spoke.

- …||… Apologies accepted, but try not to do anything like that again. If a bystander or a child arrived at the moment of the fight, they could get hurt because of your reckless behavior. And that I can't allow, even if you two are Royalty. It would be against the First Law, I can't allow life to come to harm! And also the Bushido Code, I must always protect and defend the innocent! …||…

Seya nodded, while the Queen and the King were still feeling bad about what happened.

- It's better if you follow me to the dining room for breakfast, with some food in your stomachs, everything will look better.
