The 1.000 year Great Sage ---> COMPLETED STORY

Frank was looking at the Crystal on top of his door and back at Seya, thinking about all those new things.

- Milord, that's… I don't have words for it… Milord never ceases to surprise me! I just came to get Milord to have breakfast! I never would imagine that something like this…

- Speaking about breakfast, shall we go? I will put the Crystals on the rooms after eating.

…

After Seya placed the small Crystals inside every room using his Earth Magic to create wood supports to put the Crystals on the ceiling, the Baron was testing one room while completely amazed with the easiness it was to have light in a room that used to only be illuminated by candles.

- 'Lights On!'. Amazing… 'Lights Off!'. Truly amazing…

- It seems to work just fine. I must go for a few hours, there's something that I want to check on the Magic Barrier.

- Oh, the one that the Great Sage placed? I don't understand how it works but it seems it's for preventing future invasions, correct?

- Yes. But it seems that there are some soldiers throwing stones and arrows against it. Sooner or later, someone will try to cross it and it will get trapped inside of it.

- Does Milord think that they will find a way to get through?

- No, but I will get myself a lot of new weapons and horses, that's for sure. Well, I'm off. Take care of those Crystals supports and see that Milady Margaret finds new workers for the Sewing Crew.

…

Seya appeared from a Gateway near the Magic Barrier with the Empire. He started to sense the Flow along the Magic Barrier and he detected many soldiers on the Empire's side. It seemed that there were also some troop camps. On some points, he could sense Mages attacking the Barrier, just to see their Magic being absorbed by it. After all, the Barrier was a Compressed Dimension.

- It seems that there are armies gathered on different places next to the barrier.

Maybe the Nobles of the Empire that have land near, sent their own armies to test the Barrier. Well, let me take my robe and staff… here… and up, up, and away! … And now, let's just go to the other side and fly along the Barrier to take the horses and weapons. None to them, all to me!

Seya went flying to the top of the Magic Barrier and he crossed over it. He stopped there, hovering while looking at the troops on the Empire side.

One soldier of the Empire saw him, and while pointing towards the sky, shouted.

- Look, up there in the sky! It's that Mage!

One Commander immediately gave orders.

- Mages, attack him!

Again, Seya absorbed all the Magic of the Empire Mages in an instant.

- Yes… arghhhh…

He then threw his two Dark Walls with Compressed Dimension prepared to take only horses and everything made of metal.

- Why are all of them falling? What's happening? … Ouch! Where's my horse? And my armor! My family sword disappeared!

- Commander, it's him! He did the same thing! All the horses and weapons are gone! And all the Mages are knocked out! How is this possible?

...

Seya flew along the Barrier until the Dwarfs Mountains, he then turned around and reached the ocean. Every time that he found a soldier or a Mage, he did the same thing. He absorbed Magic and stored every metal and horse on his path.

- All done. Let me just land… put away the robe and staff… There were a lot of nice Mages, just letting me take all their Magic!

Now, considering that I'm already near the sea, it's better if I go visit the nearest of my villages.

…

On the Knight and Magic School, his friends are in the middle of a class of Potions. They are all gathered around a table and following the indications on a book to do a small Healing Potion. All of them, except Princess Heiji. She can't stop yawning every 5 seconds.

- This school without Big Brother is so boring, boring, boring…

Princess Arys gentle caressed Princess Heiji's head.

- Poor Princess, so sad that she is. Maybe you should take this chance to study, your grades are so unfit for a Princess!

Princess Heiji slapped Arys hand that was on her head.

- Like yours are any better. For a RabbitKind you are rather stupid, aren't you?

Princess Arys was pulling Princess Heiji's hair.

- What did you say, annoying brat? Do you want to get yourself a beating?

Ryn lowered her voice and warned them.

- Do I need to tell Seya when he returns that you are making a fuss in the middle of a class? I think that he's just looking for an excuse to lock both of you inside that Dark Magic of his.

Princess Arys immediately let go of Princess Heiji's hair.

- She started it!

Ryn smiled.

- You really like the dark, don't you? Seya will be glad to provide you with a very nice spot in there.

Princess Arys became silent, she still remembers that darkness.

- …

Hina pulled Ryn's sleeve to call her.

- Do you think that Seya will be absent from school for a long time?

- He said that it was only for a few days. But with his new lands to take care of, I don't know. I really don't know…

- Don't be sad Ryn! We will all make you company. Except on the kissing part. Stop looking at me with that weird smile!

- Heheheheh! Being kissed by Hina, how will that be?

- Ryn!

Princess Heiji approached Hina.

- If Hina starts giving kisses, I want one too!

Princess Arys was nodding her head, looking sad.

- Poor John…

…

Back to Aria's Land, at the end of the afternoon, Seya arrived through one of his Gateways. Baron Frank and his wife were in the meeting room, looking at some drawings and with a 3mt metal pole on the ground and one metal support on the table.

- Hello, I'm back. Sorry If I took too long but I had to try that food with some fresh fish. I really need to make something to provide fresh fish to the other villages. And give to the fishing villages, better fishing ships!

- I'm sure Milord will be able to figure out something. On my end, I've already shown to the artisans the drawings for the Crystals Poles and supports. They came here to see them. They have already made some for Milord to approve.

- That's it! It's perfect. They can start making these, just like these ones. A lot of them. The priorities are the poles for the streets lights.

- I'll send Tomas right way to order them.

Milady Margaret was smiling, she also had great news.

- This means that tomorrow I can report to the King.

Perfect, I want to go to the Capital and buy ships for the villages near the ocean.

I can also take with me the poles and supports for the light Crystals, with some Crystals fully working.

- With the lights inside the house, I can continue sewing until late without worrying about candles! Thank you very much for this Milord, it's amazing!

- Don't go to sleep too late, I want that Milady Margaret rests so that when school starts, the new school Teacher won't be tired.

Milady Margaret had a sparkle on her eyes, by hearing that.

- I'm really going to be a Teacher? When will I start?

- I was thinking, maybe next week. Milady Margaret will have time to take care of getting the sewing women used to the job and prepare the things to teach the students. I want that Baron Frank makes the announcement tomorrow to this Capital and to the other villages.

Margaret agreed.

- If Milord sends those Crystals with that Gateway Magic to the other villages, the children there will be able to attend.

- Yes, but let's first take care of the children here in the Capital. When we find more teachers, we will have also more students.

I need to go to my room and take care of some things there. Can Mary make some tea and cookies for me later?

- Of course, Milord.

Seya was already looking inside his Compressed Dimension, very concentrated and trying to find something.

- Oh, and… where it is … I think it's here… I brought these fishes. Maybe she can make something with them for dinner.

- Oh, they seem that they are still alive! We don't usually eat fish from the ocean, only from the river near the Eternal Forest. The taste is the same?

- I think they are better. But that depends on the person eating it, of course. I shall take my leave now.

…

At Ryn's schoolroom at night, Seya's friends were making Magic Crystals continuously. There was already a big pile of them on the floor. There were Fire Crystals, Light Crystals, Water Crystals, Wind Crystals, and Dark Crystals. All the Attributes they could use. They made a lot of every type because they learned with Seya that even someone that could only use one Attribute if he had a Crystal of another different Attribute, they could use different Magic's.

Princess Heiji was looking at the pile of Crystals.

- Seems that we can already make some Crystals without Seya guiding us.

Zak Holstrem was separating the Crystals.

- Yes, we have a bunch of them already! What will we do with all of these? Other than using different Magic's?

Hina was holding a Water Crystal, thinking about what she could do with it.

- We could try that Magical Program thing that Seya talked in class. But what can we make? I never had a Magic Crystal so I don't know what to do with them.

Myra Calcym had a Dark Crystal, and she was trembling while looking at all that darkness.

- And now we can make a lot of them, so easily! It's a little frightening. If we sold some of them, we could even buy a Palace.

Ryn was also looking at the Dark Crystals.

- Yes. Do you think that Seya also gets a little frightened when he makes something so absurd?

Princess Heiji had a serious look, holding a bunch of Fire Crystals.

- I never saw him get frightened. I don't think that's even possible. And I have seen him in some weird situations! I still have nightmares because of that.

Knock, knock, knock!

Princess Arys pointed with her thumb towards the door.

- Here comes the crazy cousin. If these two love birds start kissing in front of me, I'm going to kill someone!

Ryn runs towards the door.

- Coming! Oh, Sey…

Chuac!

Princess Arys grabbed a chair.

- That's it, out of my way, I'm going to kill him!

Seya was taking a sword from his Compressed Dimension, getting ready for the attack.

- Someone is jealous over here. Maybe if you try to be nicer, you could get yourself a boyfriend. I'm sure your father would be very happy, seeing his daughter taken care off.

Princess Arys put the chair down while looking depressed. She seemed to have recalled something from her past!

- … no one wants me… It's not my fault…

Seya noticed the strange mood but didn't say anything about it.

- Yeah, right! Try to be nicer and you'll see. The guys won't stop knocking at your door!

Princess Arys seated at the chair, looking at the wall, thinking.

- …

And Princess Heiji didn't realize her change of mood, so she just mocks.

- Yeah, asking her for money, maybe! Ahahahahah!

Seya poked Princess Heiji nose while looking at his cousin.

- Little Princess, don't be mean. Don't you feel any kind of remorse after saying something like that?

- No, not really, actually. Oh, before I forget, my father wants to see you. He wants to know what you are up to. Seems that the Minister of Magic also wants something.

It as something to do with going tomorrow afternoon to the National Institute of Magic and talk with the scholars there. And he wants you to go with him and talk about the Magic Crystals.

- I want to go to the Palace tomorrow, also. If it's about Magic Crystals, it's better if you all go with me. I think it's about time to show them how to make the Crystals.

Oh, Ryn, I need to talk to your father. I need to buy some fishing ships for my villages near the ocean.

- I think my father knows some people that can take care of that. But it will take some time, to get the ships to your villages.

- Not really, I just need to put them on my Compressed Dimension. When I go to the villages, I just take them out directly into the harbor.

- You can do that? How?

- I need a lot of Magic for that, but I can do it. I got myself today a lot of Magic on my Crystals. There were a lot of Empire Mages near the Magic Barrier at the border and I took all their Magic.

- You did what? They were attacking you?

- I was flying over them. Before they could do anything, they lost their Magic. I also got a bunch of weapons and horses. Before I came here, I went to meet the RabbitKind King. I can't have more horses on my lands for now, so I gave him the horses.

- And… Do you also have weapons?

- Yes, and armors. A bunch of them! But those and some swords, I'm going to make something out of them. And I still have a lot!

Princess Heiji clapped her hands, she had an idea!

- I'm sure Master Eridan could make a nice statue of all that metal! Can you ask him to make one statue for me? Please?

- Sure, you want one of you, right?

- Of course not! I want one real size statue of John kissing me. I think it will look nice in the Palace Gardens!

John West that was on the ground playing with the Crystals, raised his head.

- Say what?

And Princess Heiji just smiled at him.

- What? … I'm getting a little tired of this joke!

John West was starting to sweat, he was nervous.

- But… ki…kissing? Me and the Princess?

- Yes! What's the problem, I'm so disgusting like that to you?

- Of course not!

- How can I know? You didn't even give me one small kiss yet!

John West looked around to all the faces that were smiling back at him.

- … you want one… now?

- Of course not, stupid! I'm not like these two annoying brats, always kissing each other in front of everyone else!

John becomes all red.

- …

And Seya laughed, it was too funny, looking at his red embarrassed face.

- Ahahahahah! Poor John!

Ryn was alarmed by that strange and somewhat, familiar name.

- Who is that Master Eridan? He's an artisan? I think you talked about that name before.

- He's a very old artisan. One of these days I'm going to introduce you to him.

I must go now, I need to take care of some projects. Can you talk with the Principal so that you can all be excused from classes in the afternoon? I'm going to need your help, to surprise those old geezers of the Magic Institute.

Princess Heiji was rubbing her hands, with an angry face.

- I'll talk to the Principal. It will be so fun, seeing those old nasty men so surprised! I can't wait!

Myra Calcym was looking at Princess Heiji, she was scaring her!

- Does the Princess know the Scholars from the Magic Institute?

- I know them, alright. The almighty Mages of the Magic Institute! They look at you like you are dirt. It doesn't matter for them if I was the Princess. For them, I was just another brat. I wanted to teach them a lesson for so long, but father prohibited that.

Seya knew that angry face far too well. Last time she was like that, they had to crush a Dragonoid.

- Let's see what happens tomorrow. But please, behave yourself!

Princess Heiji was still rubbing her hands, and she laughed like a madwoman.

- No, I will crush their pride! Ahahahahah!
