The 1.000 year Great Sage ---> COMPLETED STORY

Along the hallways, they crossed paths with many BeastKind that greeted them with a smile. A DogKind little girl was running while laughing, being chased by a smiling little Human boy. They all moved to one side, to let them pass. The girl hides behind Seya's legs and asked him while laughing.

- Hihihi! Marquess Seya, help me, he wants to tickle me!

The Human boy lifted his tinny little hands with a smile.

- Come here, I am not going to hurt you! Hihihi!

The girl screamed and continued on running along the corridor with the boy trying to catch her. That sight made them all smile and the Indian Representative pointed at the children.

- Seems that it's like you said, all the Races are in good terms with each other.

Seya answered while looking at the children running along the hallway.

- Yes… Only Dwarfs and Elfians still have problems, but it's getting better every day. They are Races with very different points of views, like if one was water and the other was fire. Sometimes the fire wins, others, the water wins. But last week, I saw a Dwarf woman and an Elfian male, as a couple. Most of the Dwarf men look like my Grandfather, hairy and beardy, but the Dwarf women, despite being small, they are extremely beautiful. Most Elfians are extremely beautiful as well, while others look plain. Dwarfs think that Humans are funny, while many Elfians don't like Humans, because of all the bad deeds of the Humans from the fallen Empire. Well, except the Humans that live in other Kingdoms. With those, some Elfians married, during the past years. We have an Elfian Teacher in our school, that because he loved his Human girlfriend so much, is living in the Rohan Kingdom, and he became a Teacher.

The Indian Representative looked at Ryn, Lionelia and back to Seya.

- Do you mean, you are still in school? How do you find time to go to school, and…

Ryn interrupted her.

- He is no longer in school, he graduated recently, during our first year. He is for quite some time, the Teacher of the class Applications of Magic, for all the students of our school. The Principal and some Teachers attend all of his classes. But he's skipping doing that, lately, because of our last battle and this idea of his, to meet other Worlds. We are all still waiting for him to resume his amazing classes!

Seya nodded and continued on his walk. In the Control Room, they were all dumbfounded by the view from each window, proving that they were in fact, flying high in the air. They were amazed by the sight of the helm that allowed a person to guide Gaya, during flight. From there, they all went to see Aria's Church. While they were all looking at the real size statue of the complete form of Aria that Eridan made, a light appeared from behind of it. The light went to the front of the statue and when the light diminished, Aria, in her complete form, with a faint glow around her, stood there. The Representatives, the reporters and the Secretary-General looked around, puzzled by seeing everyone kneeling. Seya stood at their front, smiling at Aria. She frowned, went near him and punched his head.

- Kneel before your Goddess, you stupid brat! Why you always do this, standing in front of me? Do you like to annoy me this much? Only the Humans from Earth are excused, but you are not! Kneel this instant! Argh, you are so annoying!

Seya quickly kneeled, defending his head from the next punch. Aria smiled and looked to the Representatives.

- I am sorry for showing such an unfitting side of me, but this brat likes to annoy me, every time he sees me! Sometimes I think I should have turned him into a Jumping Mouse, years ago, so that he learned some manners! Well, I welcome you into my World, Ariansyl. May your visit be a happy one and you fall in love with my World. I had a lot of work, making it look like it does. I also want to apologise if my little girl form scared you, with her actions on the United Nations Headquarters. She meant well, but I think she was too happy for finding a member of the Macleod Clan, a direct descendant of one of her best friends on Earth, many centuries ago.

Thomas Macleod, the English Representative asked.

- If I may… Goddess Aria… That little girl and you… aren't you the same entity?

Aria frowned, thinking.

- It's a little hard for me to explain. We are the same being, but at the same time, we are not. We are more like two separate beings that share the memories and traits of each other. I don't want to explain any more than this, your young minds couldn't grasp my full explanation.

Thomas Macleod nodded.

- That's ok, we are a Race too young to completely understand the ways of a Goddess. If I may be so bold to ask, do you know our God? Or better yet, do we also have a God that's in charge of us? Have you met him?

Aria stopped to think for a while. She looked at the camera that Erza was pointing towards her and then she faced the England Representative again, knowing that everyone on Earth was waiting for her answer.

- Yes, I know him. He is way above me and all the Gods in the Council of the Gods. He is the Creator of all things, including me. We have different ways of doing things. I annoyed him sometimes because I consider that interacting with our people is a good way to guide them. He disagrees vehemently, he thinks that appearing more often before you or showing signs of his existence, would make Humans doubt their own decisions. At the same time, you could think that you would be losing the free will that he granted you, free will that you love so much. But I can say this. He is a very kind God and he loves Humanity very much. Even with all your flaws, mistakes and violence towards Earth and among yourselves, he keeps on loving you and forgiving everything. I always thought that he had high expectations for your Race. He was the one to suggest me, to visit Earth when I asked the Council help to create the Magical Beings. I lost all my inspiration when I saw the Demonoids on that dreadful Island, 10.000 years ago. And… I may have said too much. He… Oops… He wants to pull my ear… Well, I wish you a good visit, I must leave you, I am being scolded for this… Seya, I… I will be grounded for a while, can I count on you to take care of things on my absence?

Seya was alarmed.

- What are you meaning by that? Are you going to be punished for…

Aria kissed his forehead while slowly vanishing.

- Nothing so drastic, I think. But he wants to talk with me and he looks upset. I just need to apologise and smile. Normally, that works. He likes me very much.

After Goddess Aria vanished, a small light appeared in her place. When the light diminished, little Aria was there, smiling.

- Hello, again, Thomas Macleod, of the clan Macleod! My complete form had to leave, she has an important meeting to attend. She scolded me a lot, for scaring everyone as I did, and now, she does even worst!

Thomas Macleod smiled.

- Hello, again, Goddess Aria!

Aria placed her little finger on his lips.

- Don't call me like that! A lot of people in this World don't know who I really am! I am just the cute little Aria, ok? So, Seya, where are we going now? Unless any of our guests have a question…

The Representative from Iran approached.

- You… that Goddess that was here, she said some disturbing things that could damage a lot, our faith…

Aria nodded.

- Yeah, that's why she is being scolded. Think like this, even though every Human religion has its differences and you call God by different names, he is the same loving and kind Entity that created everything. Of course, you are free to doubt her words. God will not think ill of you for doing that, I am sure.

Thomas Macleod looked around, facing the serious gazes of everyone.

- Maybe I shouldn't have questioned the Goddess about God, I was just curious…

Little Aria tried to reassure him, and everyone else.

Seya opened a Gateway, directly to the throne room of King Rohan. After a brief introduction of his guests, they left for the BeastKind throne room, where King Leonhart was talking with some of his Ministers. From there, the throne room of the RabbitKind. One servant in there told Seya that the Royal Couple was in the Denar'an Arena, watching a tournament with Magic and Weapons. Seya immediately opened a Gateway to go there. On the balcony at the other side, the King invited everyone to join him on watching the tournament. When the crowd all around and the fighters in the arena saw Seya, they started to clap and to cheer for him. He was forced to join the tournament even with him protesting that he didn't have time.

When he flew to the centre of the arena, a lot of clapping resonated on the walls. The Representatives from Earth, the Representatives from Legosyl and the ones from Myshkasyl were puzzled by the amount of support that could be heard, just by him standing in the middle of the arena. Seya looked around, opened his Compressed Dimension and took from there his very own Naginata. He shouted, looking for an opponent.

- So, who will be the first?

Silence. Overwhelming silence. For a few seconds, no one spoke. Then, a small light ball went to his front and stopped at three meters from him. The light increased and when it dispersed, Xenya was there, combat-ready, with a serious look. She was trembling a little, afraid of what could happen, but she tightened the grip on her sword, looking at him.

- I will be your opponent, little brother. I don't see anyone around willing to face you…

Seya raised one eyebrow.

- And you are? Funny, last time, you were shacking a lot, when I suggested a fight.

Xenya cleaned the drops of cold sweat that were coming down her forehead.

- I am still shaking, but you know me, I never walk away from a fight. If you are going to use that toothpick of yours, I will grab a spear.

Seya frowned.

- Don't mock my Naginata, sister, or shacking will be the least of your problems… I will change this to a sword, I don't want you to make up excuses that I only won because I had a longer reach with my weapon.

Seya opened his Compressed Dimension and from there, he changed the Naginata by a katana.

The Representative from Japan opened his eyes.

- A Japanese sword… the Naginata was also Japanese…

Heiji pointed at Seya, that was completely still, waiting for the order to start the fight.

- Like he said, he is a Samurai. What he didn't say, is that he is also a Master of all weapons. It doesn't matter if he fights with a Naginata, a katana or with a kitchen knife. Xenya may surely be the best fighter on this World, but she is no match for my big brother. John, gather your Magic, Xenya will need a lot of healing when this is over. The last time I saw him so serious, things didn't end well for a bunch of Mermaids. I think he is still regretting what happened on the Demonoid Island and he may use this fight to get rid of some of his frustration. Xenya knows that he needs it, that's why she is sacrificing herself to help him. I should be the one down there, fighting him, but I am no match for him when he is like that, I wouldn't last more than five seconds.

Before the surprised looks of the Earth Representatives that heard Heiji's words, Seya was increasing his Magic. Black flames enveloped him. Xenya on the other side of the arena was glowing in bright light. Seya slowly went to his wrist, touching a Crystal and shouted.

- 'Gravity, off!'

Heiji trembled.

- Oh, my Goddess… he is going all out! Everyone, let's stop him before he kills Xenya! He is too serious for my taste!

Hina was the first to react. She jumped to the arena, swinging her axe and she went straight towards Seya. She threw a slash to his head with the back of the axe, to knock him out. He disappeared from where he was and reappeared at Hina's back. At that exact moment, Arys was already next to him, surrounded with her Dark Cloud and one of her tentacles grabbed the sword. He threw the sword into his Compressed Dimension, together with the tentacle. He then jumped backwards, with Ryn and Lionelia restraining him by grabbing his both arms. He looked at them, puzzled.

- Hey, what is this for? I was going to fight Xenya, not you guys! Come on, let me go! I just want to punch her head!

Heiji was in front of him, with so many Fire Magic surrounding her, that it looked like living flames. She pointed a finger at him and shouted.

- You were looking very aggressive, for someone that only wants to punch Xenya's head!

Seya shouted, and he looked angry.

- What? You wanted that I went easy on her? Are you nuts? It's Xenya we are talking about! If I ever fought her without going all out, she would rub this floor with my butt and mock me forever!

Heiji looked surprised.

- You… didn't lose your mind and you were going to kill her?

- Are you nuts? Did I ever lose my mind, for all these years? You are the one that is crazy, not me!

Heiji dispersed her Magic while Ryn and Lionelia released Seya. She looked around the arena and looking embarrassed, she shouted.

- I am sorry, I think I over-reacted… I will leave and let them continue… sorry, Seya…

That was the end for King Barunger, he started to laugh and soon, everyone joined his laughter.

- Ahahahah! Way to go, Princess Heiji, first the Goddess makes a huge blunder, then you! This day is getting funnier by the minute!

When the laughing was diminishing, Barunger shouted to the arena.

- Come on, you crazy little Princess, get out from there! I want to see Seya getting a beating!

Heiji returned to her place, looking awkward. Hina, Ryn and Lionelia joined her, ashamed. Seya went to his place again, facing Xenya that was already in a fighting stance. He grabbed his katana again.

- Let's do this, sister, I want to give you a brand-new bruise.

Xenya was the first to attack. Their light speed was too fast for the Human Representatives to follow. They could only see them from time to time, with their swords against one another. When they moved to reappear on another place or position, only the sound of the swords clashing announced that the fight was still going on. Ryn was trying very hard to follow everything, with her eyes half-closed. One of the reporters approached her.

- Miss, can you see them? I can only hear the noise of the swords!

- Hardly… they are moving too fast for my eyes to follow. The RabbitKind fighters are fast, but those two are monsters...

The reporter was puzzled.

- But, how can they be so fast? It's because of Magic?

- Not only because of that. They trained since they were very young. I know that Seya had a hellish training with his RabbitKind uncle and aunt, he told me that he had always to train his natural muscles, to get faster. And they are also using Light Magic. I think Seya is mixing Wind Magic in there, to be faster than his sister. Xenya is a Half-Breed between Human and Fairy and I bet that she is using her wings to be faster. Normally, a Human can't withstand that speed, but Seya uses Healing Magic so that his body doesn't break because of the speed. But still, they are evenly matched…

Suddenly, Seya and Xenya stopped at five meters from each other. Xenya smiled and shouted so that everyone could hear her.

- What do you say, little brother, shall we make this more interesting?

She took the other two swords from the sheath at her back, making a tail with Light Magic to grab the third sword. Seya answered, shouting two.

- LizardKind Three-Sword Style! Bring it on, big sister!

Seya took two other katanas from his Compressed Dimension, making also a tail. They rushed to each other, throwing attacks one after the other with the three swords. The Representatives and the reporters from Earth were astonished by what they were seeing while the crowd in the arena was shouting and clapping. Then, Seya jumped backwards with a quick back-flip and Xenya was surrounded by hundreds of Gateways. She looked around, puzzled. Princess Heiji shouted while jumping in happiness.

- It's our attack! The One-Thousand Gateways! Last time we did it, I cut the tail of the Dragonoid Elder Narn! Xenya is in trouble! Go, big brother!

Seya waved at Heiji with a smile while Xenya was still trying to see how to get away from that trap. Seya opened a Gateway in front of him and crossed it with a jump. He appeared behind Xenya and went straight to her head. She only had time to duck to avoid the blow and Seya went through another Gateway, reappearing on another position. Xenya did the same, crossed a Gateway to avoid his attack and reappeared behind him. He barely had time to cross another one, before the place where he was before, was struck by a huge Light Ball, that left a big hole on the ground.

Seya reappeared again at three meters from where Xenya was still surrounded. With a flick of his hand, the Gateways dispersed. Xenya smiled and gathered her Magic. Three Light Balls appeared on the ground in front of her. Seya placed his swords in the Compressed Dimension and took from there a battle axe, bent his knees, and waited for her to attack.

- You managed to find a way to fight me in there, sister. I know what you are going to do. Let's see how that works out for you, shall we?

Xenya sent the Light Balls in Seya's direction and he had to run, jump, and duck, to avoid the continuous attacks of the Light Balls that Xenya was controlling. Then, he changed tactics. He started to jump and twirl all around, using his axe as a mace to strike the Light Balls while getting closer to Xenya at each jump. Ryn shouted.

- Master Yoda's Fighting Style! I love when he uses that!

The reporter that was still near her, was surprised.

- Wait… you mean Master Yoda, from the Star Wars movie?

Ryn answered while looking at Seya.

- I don't know what you are talking about. Seya told me that he learned that style from a small green guy on a story that he once saw.

The reporter was astonished. How could Seya know anything about that? Suddenly, Seya jumped back and shouted.

- I am ending this, sister… Ninja Style!

Seya threw a small Fire Ball to the ground in front of him, disappearing behind the dust. He reappeared at Xenya's left side while she was still trying to find him in the middle of the cloud and with a fast struck with the pole of his axe on Xenya's hand, she lost the grip of one sword. He then placed the sharpest edge against her neck.

- Sorry, you are dead, sister.

She let the swords drop into the ground and shouted in anger.

- Argh! I lost again! And with such a childish trick! You are so annoying! Why can't I defeat you? I trained so hard with uncle Sully over these last months! Null is going to mock me forever, because of this!

Seya jumped away from her and smiled.

- You need to train more, sister! Now, don't be a sour loser and try to cheat by attacking me in surprise! I will take your head if you do that and Null will be angry with me!

Xenya kicked the ground hard and crossed her arms.

- No… I want to cut your head, but you won, fair and square… I hate you…

Seya faced the crowd and bowed.

- I hope you all liked this small demonstration. If any of you has any doubts about what happened or you think you could do better against me than Xenya, by all means, come here! It's been a long time since I had a bunch of RabbitKind trying to fight me on this arena!
