Solviered Kingdom: RITUAL

Chapter 2

Solviered Kingdom: Part 1

....

We were on a horse. I was on the same horse with Prince Johan. I realised that he smells so good but I just couldn't get over the thing that Arthur did that just to save ME. He was on the horse behind us with the guards. It looks hard to hold him in. He is unconscious so he keeps leaning towards right and left. If they weren't careful he would have already fallen.

Step by step, little by little. We reached the kingdom. It took like an hour to reach but it felt like a month as I was concerned about Arthur.

The town was really ancient. I saw some blacksmiths there. A lot of people were trading with different stuff. A lot were using some kind of bag for trading. I guess it had gold coins inside. There was a shop for buying horses and to my utter surprise, there was a shop for buying slaves. It was really big and maybe it had some underground cells where the slaves lived.

"Welcome to the kingdom," the prince said

He added, "This kingdom's name is Solviered Kingdom. This is the Solviedge town. The main castle of ours is not here. It is located at the capital, Solviered town. But for now, we will be going to our Casthome where you will be trained"

"What do you mean by Casthome?" I asked

"Casthome is like a branch of a castle. We have one in every town. There the royals work and also can abide in. It is a small version of a castle."

We finally reached the Casthome. It looked like a Castle. It is smaller than a Castle but it is not small either. It has 3 floors i see. It was almost as big as 2 big mansions combined.

By the time we reached it was already evening. I saw a beautiful girl waiting for us outside. I could guess she's the princess just by looking at her dress and cape and she was even wearing some kind of makeup. Makeup exists in this era? It sure looks beautiful though.

She came running towards us.

"Welcome to the Kingdom," she said while giving me flowers.

"What happened to him?" She was shocked.

"He fought against a Emereen. It pierced through his chest. He can be healed though," Prince Johan replied.

"Oh my, Take him to healer fast. Go," she ordered the guards.

"Hello, may I ask your name?" She said,

"Uh, yes. I am Violet. Nice to meet you," I replied

"Oh, such a lovely name. I am Julia, the princess of the Solviered Kingdom. You must be tired by all that happened. You should eat, you must be hungry," She said

To tell the truth, I was a lot hungry at that time. I followed them into the Casthome. The Casthome is marvellous. It has long pillars, nice decorations, and royal furniture. It is like the castles I saw in movies.

"Hey Valia, take her to her room," she ordered a servant.

"Please, freshen up before dinner. She'll show you your room," she told me.

I followed the servant. I saw a big bedroom with a washroom beside it. The decorations were crazy. There was a nice dress on the bed.

" There is a bath ready for you in the washroom. Please, change up in this dress after bathing," the servant said.

I took a bath. Wore the dress and I went down. Honestly, the dress was pretty.

But there was something in mind. A lot of questions were coming to mind. What is this place? How do they know me? Did they know I would come? How do they know that I am not from this world?

"Oh, you came down. Oh my, look at you. So pretty. The dress fits you so well," the princess said to me.

"Thank you so much, but I-" I was saying but she stopped me in the middle and said,

"You must be hungry. Follow me to the dinner table."

I followed her to see a huge table that had a lot of foods and dishes. There is bread and what's that? A chicken maybe. A lot of curries and broths. Different kinds of juices or wines. Also there are fruits, some of them I know, some of them I don't. One looked like a Raspberry but it was glowing.

I sat and started eating. The servants were treating me so well like I was a guest or a royal.

But still I had a lot of questions. I just couldn't stop thinking about it and I finally asked them…

"Um, excuse me. I am not getting anything out of what's happening. Where am I? How do you know me? What era is this? What were those monsters? What is happening?"

"Oh, I am so sorry. You must be confused a lot. I will answer your questions one by one while you eat, "Princess Julia said.

"This is the year 203. You are in the planet called Pneuyodia,"

"What? What do you mean by planet Pneuyodia?" I was utterly surprised by what she said.

"Yeah, I know you are confused but just keep listening to me. You'll get every answer."

"We know that you are from the earth and the year you were in was 2024. You both were brought here by us. Our kingdom was falling apart. A lot of our town was captured by the enemy. We couldn't defeat them because we were too weak compared to them. We saw nothing that could help us. But when I was reading a book that told about the Light Ritual. It's a ritual to bring humans from another world. We brought you here to help us."

"But how can I help?" I replied.

"The person who reincarnates will have an overpowered ability. That will help us to defeat the other kingdoms and take our territory back," prince Johan said

"Exactly, we came to this town because that ritual devil lives close to this town. Our big brother is in the capital. We want you to help us. Will you help?" Princess Julia asked politely.

They brought me here to help them? They ruined our life so they can live a good life? That's so selfish. But what if the other kingdoms treat the people badly? Maybe they thought about the people. If for me a lot of people's lives can be saved I will do it and there is nothing I can do now. I can't go back to my world,can I? I have no other choice. I am stuck here.

"Ok, I will. There is nothing I can do either," I replied.

"Yay, I am so happy. Don't worry, we will give you everything you need in exchange for helping us," Princess Julia replied.

"So how do I know what's my power and how to help you?" I asked

"There is a magical system in this world that I know your world doesn't have. The people here are divided into 5 divisions.

Swordsman: They can use magical powers with their swords. That deals extra damage and some more attributes get a boost

Sorcerer: They use casting and healing magic powers to fight.

Archerer: They can use any long range weapon with magic powers. It deals more damage and some attributes get a boost just like an swordsman

Brawler: They use their fists to attack with magical powers and they use magical power on their feets too. That gives them a speed boost.

Normal Humans: This kind of people don't have the blessing of magic.

Usually after someone turns 14, there is a stone that we use only once a year. It is called the fortune rock. People put their hand on it and it gives a colour that indicates which division he belongs to. They put their hands again to see which type of magical power they can use," Prince Johan explained.

"There's even types of magical powers?" I said.

"Yes, there are 4 types of magic.

Water Waves: people with these magic powers use water powers that give them special attributes like damage, accuracy and tsunami waves, speed.

Flame Breath: It gives them magical powers of flame that gives them special attributes like damage, accuracy, fireball and speed.

Windy strike: It gives them magical powers of wind that gives them special attributes like damage, accuracy, knockback, speed and tornado strike. If they work enough they can even create a whole tornado.

Healing: people with this power can heal a person's any wound as long as he is not dead.

Beside this people can cultivate their own special attacks related to their magic type

like my big brother has,"Prince Johan replied.

"We will be showing this entire town until that guy, Arthur heals. Then we will take you both to fortune stone to see your division and magic types and then your training will begin," Princess Julia said.

Wait, in all of this, I forgot about Arthur.

"What happened to him? Is he alright?" I asked

"Yeah, he is fine right now. My guards used magical essence in the way we were coming. So he didn't die. He was alive when he was sent to the healer. Now the healer has closed his hole in chest. He is completely fine now. Though it will be better if he still stays under medical care for 3 more days,"Prince Johan said.

"Ok, thank god," I said.

"What were those monsters?" I asked

"This world has special monsters that can use magical powers. That was one of those kinds. It is called Emereen. You can fight magical monsters in dungeons and in the wilds. You get special items defeating them and you can sell them to earn coins."

Wait…this world has magical abilities and monsters. There are kingdoms like I watched in movies. I always wanted to live in those movies. Wait, is my dream coming true? This world sounds like a fantasy. This is a blessing. It will be so much fun and I am sure this isn't a dream. I am so excited.

I wish it went as I thought. What I thought was a blessing, turned out to be a curse....
