2 Iron-Herb Mountain Range

"Sigh, You think he noticed?"

Asked a stunning young man dressed in a black royale robe as he stood in an isolated space whilst looking at a young boy with an elated expression leap through a barrier.

"Hehehe, he's too naive. Whilst we may have taught him about human nature and how all intelligent lifeforms have learnt humanity's knack for schemes, he's still hasn't experienced any of it for himself except for the petty schemes between tiny powers of this world. And even those he only saw from a spectators point of view."

His wife responded as she stood there with her fingers interlocked around his as she held his hand whilst also looking at her 15 year old with a pleased look in her eye.

"Oh Arietid, does the scar still hurt?"

"Woooww"

An excited exclamation rang through the air.

"So this is the mountain range dad used to fly me over when i was young? It's so big!"

Arcane excitedly looked around as he hovered a few feet above a patch of blue colored trees whose leaves had a metallic luster, not noticing the animals in the surrounding which were cowering in the shadows as they trembled in fear due to his presence.

"I wonder where to start."

He murmured to himself as he looked around a bit trying to sense the presence of any humans that may be in the surrounding few hundred miles.

Discovering no one, he turned to the direction which his dad usually flew with him and soared in that direction.

…

"My Lord, a broken immortal was discovered in the southern region of the mountain range fly towards us in the center."

A winged shadow reported as it knelt towards a man with full face and head long blue hair, whose eyes were currently closed.

"Who is he? And where is he from?"

A majestic voice softly growled as he continued sitting on his throne.

"I don't know, he simply appeared near the border that you told us not to cross and started flying inwards towards us at a normal speed and looking around curiously like as if it's his first time coming here."

'Snap!'

The throne arm broke as the blue haired man abruptly stood up as his eyes flashed open with a solemn look on his face.

"Call in the 12 families. Now!"

"Yes, my Lord!"

The winged shadow hurriedly replied and immediately disappeared.

"So someone related to those monster has come out from the void village? Plus it's a broken immortal this time, which means its that little monster they were raising who's come out! But is he really alone or are they in the area just hiding!?

The blue haired figure pondered as his brows cringed with an obvious worry flickering in his eyes.

Meanwhile…

Arcane was leisurely flying towards the blue haired mans direction when he suddenly stopped.

"Hmm it seems that there's a golden demon beast and about 18 silver demon beasts up ahead. It seems like the silver beasts are moving towards the golden beast in a hurry."

{Void}

He flew towards their direction as he started fading from reality like a water ripple till he disappeared.

"Shit! I lost him! What technique was that?! And he seemed to be going directly towards His Majesty."

A winged figure stepped out from behind a blue tree looking at where arcane disappeared.

"I need to inform His Majesty quickly"

In truth, Arcane was still flying in a straight line towards the demon beasts king at the center of the mountain range, however he was no longer perceptible by anyone less than one realm above him as he was using a technique he made to try to hide from his parents...which he failed at doing.

'The base of this technique is father's Void Seeker which is also a movement technique. However, I am too weak to use any part of it so I had no choice but to make a simplified version after watching my old man use it for an entire day while playing tag as a child.'

Arcane silently thought to himself, still unaware that just a few moments ago he was being watched and followed and that if he hadn't used that technique to sneak up on the demons beasts gathering, he would still be followed.

…

Seated at the head of a table Dylion looked at the 18 demon beasts who sat, lay or stood around the table.

"Your Majesty, it is with what urgency that you called us over?"

A pure white griffon asked with curiosity as she bowed towards Dylion.

"Xue Yin, do you nobles remember when I forbade you from crossing the border at the south?"

Dylion asked solemnly as the temperature in the ice hall dropped even further.

"Yes Your Highness"

The snow griffin replied cautiously as she trembled slightly despite being a creature of the cold. But she wasn't the only one shivering, all 18 demon beasts were trembling but not a single beast was trembling because of the temperature. They were all thinking about the three monsters living beyond the border.

"Do you all remember that I said that I was told that their young would one day come out?"

"Yes…"

Xue Yin replied even softer as everyone trembled more. None of them were stupid, considering how roundabout their King's questions were, it was safe to assume that the young of the three monsters was out!

"He's on his way towards our mountain range, however he seems to be just passing with curiosity."

Everyone in the room released a breath that they had been unconsciously holding.

"Your Majesty, if he's just passing by, then there is no need for us to worry right?"

A red raven asked humbly

"Mm, and your kin?"

Everyone's face immediately got unsightly again.

"Ren, your older brother Rome is currently tailling him to see where he's going and to prevent any of your 12 families from acting against him"

Almost simultaneous after Dylion spoke, his face changed for the worse as a everyone felt a foreboding sense hit them after seeing his expression.

"Your brother is back"

"Y-Your majesty! I suddenly lost sight of him as he was fly, but the worst part is, that he seemed to have sensed something so he seems to be heading directly here!"

A blackish red raven stumbled out of the shadows from a hidden a passage in the wall.
