Heroes who defeated the Calamity

Though forcefully, Aster still sent Thea back to the Libray because this bastard was a foodie. She can eat billions of black souls and Dark energies in a period.

He can't afford the side effects of this foodie brat.

Aster saw that the kids were quite excited today.

Especially Raylan and Lucian.

"Daddy! Daddy, I want to fight bad people like you and Sister Thea!"

Erza also jumped.

"Daddy, I want to learn Magic and fight bad people like Sister Thea!"

Aria also blushed.

"Sister Thea was so cool."

Nova and Elio nodded with determined expressions while Eiton and Auron also said,

"Me too!"

"I want to fight!"

Even Seraphina giggled loudly and clapped her hands.

"Fwa~Kya~Fwa~"

Dear, Are you saying fighting?

How violent is this baby?

Aster smiled and patiently listened to the kids and encouraged them. Since his kids don't have natural talent then he will go and give them artificial talent, A talent superior to Natural talent.

After letting the kids go back to sleep, Aster entered the library but suddenly a blue screen appeared in front of him.

[System Awakening.]

[Under process-Updating]

[Days Before Complete Awakening: 20 Days.]

Looking at the familiar screen, Aster smiled. His system went to forced sleep to keep its bond with his soul.

This is the System that fought with him all those years and even gave them the last hope.

Only 20 days and he will reunite with his friend.

Aster glanced to the left of the library and sighed. He can only read the books of the past and present but not the future, So it's no use to even look at them.

He walked to the left of the library and grabbed a book related to the plot of the novel.

'Heroes who defeated the Calamity'

Before Seraphina and her team did nothing except die, there were heroes who actually defeated Calamity and not once but 7 times.

According to this book, those heroes were cursed with immortality alongside their powers and they had only one purpose, To defeat Calamity.

After Calamity knew that these heroes couldn't be killed it decided to change its strategy and seal the heroes and let the souls of the heroes fall in deep slumber.

Later when the world lost the heroes, the Calamity overtook the world easily.

When the Gods saw the situation and knew that they had to force to entrupt they descended and fought the Calamity themselves but after 7 deaths, The Calamity was extremely strong.

However, With the united effort of the Gods, the Calamity was still sent away from the dimension.

The Gods tried to use their divine essence to unseal the heroes but the Calamity had actually used the Primodial Gods Essences and hearts to seal the heroes and it was impossible with the new Era Gods to unseal the Heroes who had powers from the Primodial Gods.

The Gods couldn't descend another time because it would just blast the world and so they left many divine relics all over the world to let the humans fend for themselves.

"Something doesn't add up with this story."

Aster mumbled when suddenly he heard another voice.

{What is it? What is wrong with this book?}

Ah...

"Thea, What are you doing here?"

Thea, The Ring of Light, puffed her mouth and grumbled.

{Can I not be here?! Why can I not be here?! Anyway, don't change the topic, Tell me what's wrong with this story?}

Looking at the curious girl, Aster sighed. This stubborn brat won't let him go until she knows.

"This story didn't quite explain the Heroes, The ones who actually defeated the Calamity 7 times. Don't you think this is odd?"

Thea blinked her golden eyes and made an 'Oh~' face.

"Second thing, Are the Gods actually alive?"

{Huh? Do you mean the Primordial Gods?}

Aster shook his head with a serious expression.

"The Calamity, when it appeared in the novel, It was so strong that even the Strongest Ancient Dragon was killed in seconds. It even played with the Protagonist Team for fun and destroyed the world as it pleased. But why did the Gods never take action?"

Thea was so puzzled and confused that she grabbed her beautiful hair.

{I don't understand! Really What is wrong?}

Aster sighed.

"See, The Gods can take action once when the world was almost destroyed and save it with united effort why not in the novel? The world was destroyed but the Gods never took any sort of action."

Thea felt some understanding.

{Ah! So you think that the Gods are dead?}

Aster thoughtfully said.

"Not quite that, There can be a lot of things that can happen in the situation of the New Era Gods. Like, They are dead, They are also sealed or they have fallen or..."

Thea looked at Aster with a serious face.

{Or?}

Aster shook his head and chuckled.

"That thought is outrageous so it is useless to discuss."

Thea glared at Aster, Did this guy just try to joke? He did right?

Aster continued.

"And lastly, Where are the Primordial Gods now? Or what happened to those Primordial Gods, Not in the novel or even in the story were they discussed."

"There are more things to point out but, If we can find an answer to one of these three things, We might be able to save this world by guarantee of 30%."

Thea asked.

{And if we can't get an answer to these things, how much guarantee is there to save this world?}

Aster was silent for a while.

"2%."

Just because he has this library. If he didn't have this library or the items, he might not even have this much of the guarantee...

{But we are so strong!}

Aster sighed.

"No. We have some limitations. And we are only stronger than the New Era Gods of this book...but not stronger than the Heroes. And now the Calamity has died 8 times, So its power will be 800 times stronger than before."

It's a clear-cut dead end.

Thea tilted her head and looked at the enormous library.

She suddenly had an idea.

{How about you use 'those guys' to help you collect the information from this library?}

Aster nodded.

"I have this plan, But there is still 20 days before the system awakens and I need at least a month to have enough spiritual power."

Aster didn't tell Thea but there were more doubtful points about this book and story.

The claim that the heroes were cursed with immortality alongside their powers and had only one purpose—to defeat Calamity—raises questions about who or what cursed them and why.

Since if they were given powers by Primordial Gods then that is a blessing however if it is a curse then that definitely is not the work of a God but something else or...innate power?

Something just doesn't add up here.

Another thing that tugged his mind was that the sudden decision of Calamity to change its strategy and seal the heroes, rather than killing them, seems questionable. The motivation behind this change and how Calamity came to know that the heroes couldn't be killed was not mentioned.

Because if the Calamity was killed then how does it know that heroes are immortal...wait killed? Was it even killed in the first place?

Aster made a note about this point and thought of another thing.

The absence of information about the Primordial Gods and their current state raises questions about what happened to them, especially considering their essence and hearts were used by Calamity to seal the heroes. Their significance in the story and their role in the world's situation needs to be addressed.

There are way too many plot holes in this situation.

Thea was bored and went back to the item room to digest.

Aster came out of the Library.

"Kuwa~ Da~"

When Aster came out, He saw Seraphina awake and playing with her hands and feet.

"Ah, Why is Sera awake?"

He picked up the small baby softly and patted her back.

Seraphina seemed to love being hugged by her dad clenched her hands and screamed more excitedly.

"Kawu~DaDa~Dae~!"

Aster laughed.

"Hey, Are you saying 'Daddy'?"

Seraphina blinked and clapped her chubby hands.

"Dae! Duu~"

Such a cute child and such a tragic fate awaiting her.

Aster lowered his head and touched Seraphina's forehead his forehead, softly said.

"Though fate's quill may have written tragedies in this world, I vow to compose a symphony of joy and laughter that will echo through eternity in your heart, Seraphina."

At this time, Aster had truly acknowledged the young protagonist, Seraphina as his own daughter from heart.

-

A man in a white Priest Uniform was standing by the bedside of a beautiful and big bed.

"It's been a month but there are no signs of Ezekiel's Awakening. Nathaniel, I am asking you once more. What is the real situation here."

The Priest in white glanced at the man lazily sitting on the couch. The man was handsome with fine features, black hair, and golden eyes.

"Ha? Do you think I can hide something from you? That's so mean, Cely~"

Celine, The Priest, Sighed.

"Nathaniel, Be serious. Ezekiel might die if we don't give him proper treatment."

Nathaniel waved his hand with a smirk.

"Impossible, Brother is so strong, How can he die?"

Celine glared at Nathaniel.

"Don't force me or I will go and complain to the Empress."

Nathaniel sighed and said,

"Whatever, But I have already told you everything. When we went to Astrid Empire, Brother was drugged and his rut also came. He said that he would handle himself and left and then the next morning I found brother in my room, injured and his rut was subsided."

Celine sighed.

"This means that our hypothesis is not wrong. It seems that Ezekiel was attacked in his drugged condition and to not make matters worse, he might have escaped and hidden in someone's house. Later he must have had spent the night with someone in that house and his rut subsided."

Nathaniel became serious.

"Celine, We of the ancient Dragon Clan can't just spend the night with whomever we want. You know that."

Sighing, Celine put the magic identification device on the table and sat opposite Nathaniel.

"And that's why I am worried and even more sure of the situation. Suppose that the girl he spent the night with is his fated partner and that's why he easily spent his rut and even went in the third awakening?"

Nathaniel became silent.

"All for naught, What if we are just overthinking?"

Suddenly a haughty voice sounded and they saw a beautiful and sexy girl enter the room.

"Mariana."

Nathaniel rolled his eyes.

Mariana also rolled her eyes and sat beside Celine.

Celine glanced at the two siblings and sighed.

Ezekiel, Nathaniel, Clyde, and Mariana are the only Ancient Royal Dragon heirs from the Ancient Royal Family.

The Empress laid only 4 eggs 100 years ago and those eggs hatched 70 years later.

So for the 100 years or so, There was no addition in the Ancient Royal Dragon Clan which was heartbreaking news.

The Emperor and Empress are trying to reproduce every day but...

Anyhow.

Mariana suddenly asked.

"Celine, You are just thinking too much. Among 900 Dragons alive, How many have successfully found their fated partner?"

A bit nonserious, Nathaniel answered.

"Who doesn't know this? Only 8 have been wedded thus far, including our parents. Even Uncle is still single."

There are only 7 Ancient Royal Dragons alive. The Emperor, The Grand Duke(Emperor's brother), The four young Royal Heirs, and Celine.

Celine is the Emperor's Elder brother's only child. The elder brother of the Emperor died in a battle long ago.

Mariana thought about the fact that she might be single for a lifetime and grumbled.

"Impossible! I want to marry!"

Celine & Nathaniel:...Who in the Dragon Clan doesn't want to marry?

It's a weird play of fate, For dragons except their fated partner, no one can produce feelings of love and patience. Except for their fated partners, they are attracted to none.

Though it is harsh it helps dragons to identify their fated partners in a blink.

There are many such races in this world. However, reproduction is hard for only Spirits, Dragons, Merfolks, and Vampires.

Spirits believe in soulmates Dragons believe in fated partners, Merfolks are cruel and emotionless from the beginning and it is hard for them to marry and so hard to reproduce, and as for Vampires...they are only bloodthirsty and have no concern about reproducing.

Dragons and Vampires have been allies for centuries while Merfolks and Dragons have been enemies for centuries. The Spirit realm opens once in ten years, and they have an indifference to all others except the ones they are interested in.

Mariana yawned and left to sleep. She was bored waiting for her brother to wake up.

Celine was interested in Ezekiel's situation and stayed to observe.

Nathaniel lazed around in the room.

"Hey Cely, I suddenly remembered something."

Celine nodded.

"Hm, I am listening."

Nathaniel said in a serious voice and sat straight.

"Suppose that your theory is right. Then, does that mean that girl might be pregnant with brother's blood?"

Hearing this Celine froze.

He didn't think it this far, but if his theory is right... Then...what if something happened to the young princes?!

Celine shook his head, Let's not jump to conclusion this early.

"Stop, Let Ezekiel wake up and tell the real situation."

Nathaniel glanced at the bed.

"And when will brother wake up?"

Celine also glanced in the direction of the bed.

"If this is not the third awakening then he might wake up in a month or two but if this is the third awakening... then it is more than 3 years."

Nathaniel sighed.

"And what if sister-in-law gives birth in that amount of time?"

Celine:...

"Don't think so far."

Nathaniel laughed.

"You started first, I was just playing along."

-

Sitting in the store, Aster saw an unexpected visitor.

"Brother Gen."

Gen, A man with some above normal features and brown hair, right now he was not in the right state of mind.

His eyes were red and had deep dark circles.

Aster quickly helped him sit on a spare chair.

"Have some juice."

Gen shook his head.

"I am alright."

Aster glanced at the counter and saw people waiting for him to buy things.

"Brother Gen, Wait for me, I will be back in a moment."

Gen nodded and looked at the kids in the back kitchen.

Lucian was biting Erza's arm who was clenching Lucian's hair. Aria and Nova came running to separate the two. Seraphina was sleeping in Elio's arms. Eiton and Auron were tugging arms of Raylan, who was laughing foolishly.

His tears fell again, he quickly wiped them and lowered his head.

Aster saw the scene and sighed.

This cannot go on.

{How about you let him help you?}

'Thea...How do you suggest that he help me in his situation?'

{Ah? How else, Let him join your mysterious organization?}

Aster:...Oh yea.

He can't be a one-man army now, can he? He should make a real mysterious organization.

And for that many people are needed. Some can be 'those guys' but others he will collect from this world.

Aster closed the shop, Aster gave the children something to eat and then went and sat opposite Gen.

"Brother Gen..."

"Aster, I want to take revenge."

Gen looked determined and full of paranoid expression. Looking at this somewhat familiar expression, Aster smiled.

"Mn. I can help you."

Gen paused and looked at him with hope.

"I know some people who work backstage and have a huge network. Do you want to go meet them?"

Gen thoughtfully asked.

"How can they help me?"

Aster stood up picked up a black envelope from the cupboard in the kitchen and came to sit down.

"Here, Open this."

Gen took the envelope with the purple butterfly stamp.

There was a small letter in it and it shook his soul.

[Revenge is best served hot and spicy. Worry not, We got you covered. However, for this, you must work for us.]

Gen looked at Aster.

"This letter given to me was actually for you."

"I see."

Aster shook his head and with the help of Gen took the kids back home.

Gen left the next moment and didn't come in to have some water. Aster went back to the library and saw a grumpy [Ring of Light].

Because he knew that he must ask, he asked.

"What's wrong?"

{I want to go out and play too!}

Huh? Aster had black lines on his forehead.

"Are you in your right mind? Do you think you can control yourself from eating black souls or dark energies?"

Thea pouted.

{But I still want to go and play!}

Aster shook his head.

"No, Out of the question. You can't even control yourself and will only create more trouble, How can I let you out like this?!"

Thea suddenly grabbed his leg and cried crocodile tears.

{Please, I will try to control myself~ Please Please~ I am so bored here~}

Aster:...

"Leave me!"

{First you allow me!}

"Let go!"

{No!!}

"Thea, I said let me go!!"

{No means no!}

Aster:...This stubborn brat!

"Ok! But you must listen to me and not create any trouble!"

Thea quickly let go of Aster's leg and floated in the air with a smile.

{Ok! Thanks, Aster! You are really nice!}

Aster:...

-

The next day, Aria and Erza were the happiest to meet the kind and strong lady Thea.

"Kids, This is Aunt Thea, She will be living with us now."

Raylan excitedly asked.

"Daddy! Is Aunt Thea your wife?!"

Thea laughed out loud.

"Kids, I can't like this guy at all, I am lesbi-"

Aster quickly grabbed the mouth of this brat.

"Haha, How can this be possible, She is my...Student!"

Elio quickly asked.

"Is she also learning how to cook from Daddy?"

Thea shook her head and made a cute little ball of light.

Eiton like a pink fluffy ball jumped.

"Magic! Thea Aunty do magic!"

Auron and Lucian were also fascinated while Aria politely asked Thea.

"Daddy, Why is Aunty Thea not living with her parents?"

Aster glanced at Thea who was looking at him. She suddenly opened her mouth and Aster knew another trouble was being thrown his way.

"Kids, Your Daddy is my Mo-"

Aster grabbed this brat's mouth again and again laughed.

"Haha, I am your Aunty Thea's Master, So she wants to follow me and learn more things."

Lucian tilted his head innocently and asked,

"But Daddy, you can't do magic."

Aster:...

Thea: Hahahahaha!!

Aster gritted his teeth and opened his palm, A bluish black flame appeared in his palm.

It looked beautiful yet dangerous.

"Who said daddy can't do magic? Daddy can do magic, See."

The kids were now more excited than Thea showing magic. They circled around their dad to see more of this beautiful flame.

Nova and Elio, who were tall easily took advantage of their heights and saw the flames, while Lucian and Erza stood on a chair.

Eiton and Auron grabbed Thea's skirt and looked with pleading eyes.

Thea who was attacked with these cute eyes, grabbed the kids and let them see their daddy's flames.

Aria and Raylan clinging to their daddy's arms and see the magical flames.

The house was full of laughter and liveliness whereas in the Imperial Palace Empress Karina hugged her son who was tortured to the point of almost dying.

"Where is the Priest?! Call him now! Call the Sage too!"

Emperor Viktor couldn't stand this condition of his son, He was more anxious than the mother of the child.

After the Priest came, Emperor and Empress let them do their job and stood in the hallway.

"Viktor...Please don't let those dark magicians live."

Empress Karina said with a hateful voice. Emperor grabbed her embraced her and patted her back.

"Don't worry, I will not let these people live a humane life anymore. I promise you."

Empress Karina nodded.

"Ah, Have you found something about the person who sent the letter?"

Emperor Viktor sighed and shook his head.

"No. But I found that such a letter was also given to Cedric, He is now in his sister's house. I don't know what happened but it must be related to that letter."

Empress Karina thoughtfully said.

"Cedric's sister has two children right?"

Emperor Viktor was puzzled but nodded.

"Why, What's the matter?"

Empress Karina shook her head and patted her husband.

"You rest too, I will be with Richard tonight."

-

Two days passed and there was news that Duke Branor's sister, Lady Talia divorced her husband not because of anything but because her husband was a spy from the neighboring kingdom and tried to harm her children.

Duke Branor himself caught the man red-handed when he tried to murder his sister.

Because of this incident, Duke Branor also found the hideout of black mages who harmed the young prince.

The Emperor was happy and made Duke Branor the Grand Duke.

Now Duke Branor is the most wanted husband for the young noble ladies in the Astrid Empire.

Aster who heard all the news sighed.

Now he has saved two male leads from getting bad trauma from their childhood

Male Lead 1, The Young prince who will later become the tyrant because his blood was fused with a dark mage's curse, and his parents, the Emperor and Empress die to save him 3 years later.

But because of his intervention the young prince, Richard is saved only after a month of his kidnapping.

Male Lead 2, Grand Duke Branor's heir, and the future Grand Duke, Abigail Branor. He watched his father kill his mother and sister with his own eyes and even lost his left eye while running away from his father. Later his Uncle, Cedric Branor saves him and makes him his heir. However, the trauma made him a rigid person.

But now that he let Duke Cedric save his sister prior to the incident, this will help the Male Lead 2 to become a good guy as his mother and sister are both alive.

{So what will you do now?}

Thea who was floating in the air, said to Aster.

Since they were in the library, Thea talked in her original language, The Language of Abyss.

Aster also thought about what do to now. He needs to make some perfect plans and also some backup plans.

According to his sister's novel, The Shadow wraith or the Calamity will one way or another come to destroy this world but what is in this world that the Calamity wants even after 8 constant defeats?

Secondly, Why did the Primodial Gods never kill the Calamity? Since they were so powerful that they could make Heroes kill the Calamity, why not do it?

{What are you thinking?}

"Nothing just some doubts that are bugging me."

Thea blinked.

{What doubts? Tell me too.}

Aster sighed.

"Where is the Calamity?"

Thea was puzzled.

{Ah? Shouldn't it be in its base? Or like it's evil headquarters?}

Aster nodded.

"Yeah, I can understand you, Then tell me where is its headquarters?"

Thea:...

Looking at the dumbfounded Thea, Aster smirked. Is it so easy to answer the question?

If it was he would have made a perfect plan centuries ago!

Now the situation is like this, 2 male leads have completely deviated from their supposed backgrounds and their future is still unknown, His own powers will be unlocked in 18 days and he will need at minimum 2 years to restore his powers to his previous life ones and since their is the Calamity, he must become more strong.

He has 12 S-ranked sentiment Items with excellent powers and his own Cards who all have Legendary ranks but he needs to fulfill the requirements to reopen the cards...that means, he needs another 5 years.

Except for his team and powers, there are the Heroes who are sealed in this world somewhere, If he can unseal them, that is a bingo and best weapon against the calamity.

And the location of the Calamity or the location of its headquarters, if that place can be located, much of his worries will be resolved.

Then there are the different races and superpowers of this world.

Like Mages, Priests, Swordmasters, Dragons, Beastmen, Elves, fairies, Spirits, etc.

So many magical races yet Calamity still won in the end?

And among the protagonist team, Except the Dragon and the foreign prince who was an Elve, all others were humans.

If humans are so capable then why are the magical races shown so powerful.

There are many suspicious points in this world's setting and the plot holes are numerous to count.

-

"I want chicken!"

"No! Potatoes! Potatoes!"

"I wanted dumplings though..."

Aster smiled when he got the list of the food kids wanted to eat but-

"Alright, Let's have some soup today."

The kids were depressed after hearing this, But they still nodded.

While Eiton and Auron clinged to their dad's legs and begged.

"Daddy, Rose milk~"

"Rose Milk is so sweet, daddy~"

As everyone knows that no one can say no to a little 2 year old cute acts, Aster dropped his weapon and nodded.

"Alright, Eiton and Auron can have rose milk."

Aria pouted and mumbled.

"That's cheating."

Raylan nodded.

"Yes daddy, You agree to Eiton and Auron but not to us!"

Lucian looked at Aster as if he was disappointed in him. Even Elio and Nova looked depressed.

Erza almost cried.

"I want chicken too, but Daddy ignored me!"

Aster:...

"Hahahahaha! Omg, All your past sins will be washed in a few years like this, Hahahaha"

Thea who laughed without an image successfully got a punch in the head by Aster but still kept laughing.

Aster has to say that handling these kids was really tiring, Especially when they gang up on him.

He really can't say no to them.

So that day the kids successfully got a full meal and had full.

However the next day, Lucian and Raylan got stomachaches while Eiton and Auron got a harsh fever.

Aria got a toothache and Erza had several small pimples.

Only Elio and Nova, who ate in moderation were left alone while Seraphina who was a baby cried a lot because no one was giving her the attention today.

"Awwah~ Da~Dae~"

Thea who was taking care of Seraphina was tired and had a headache after handling this baby.

Aster took Lucian, Raylan, Eiton and Auron to the priest while Erza was sleeping after crying a lot.

Elio and Nova were helping around the house today.

Aria couldn't talk properly because of her toothache and cried because of pain.

"It hurts...hu,..hu"

Elio quickly patted her head.

"Hush, Hush, Aria is a good girl, Aria is a strong girl. Don't cry, our Aria is a kind girl."

Raising her ears, Thea heard Elio's voice. She tried the method on Seraphina.

"Hush, Hush, Our Sera is a cute baby, a strong baby, Such a baby crying, how ugly, right?"

However, instead of stopping, Seraphina cried louder. Thea was startled and puzzled.

Why didn't it work?

Aster who just entered the house with the four sick kids, heard Seraphina's cries and quickly took her from Thea.

As soon as Seraphina got in her father's embrace, she stopped crying.

Thea pouted.

"...Such a bad baby."

It took Aster two whole days before the kids got better. Because of the previous lesson, the kids didn't become stubborn for a week, however...

"Daddy, I want roasted chicken!"

"Pancakes! Pancakes!"

"Rose milk!"

Kids never grow up.

Thea and Aster made joint efforts to let the kids not eat bad food but again they surrendered against their cute starings.

And then Eiton and Auron got sore throats and Aria, Erza, Nova and Raylan got stomaches.

Thea:...Not again!!

Aster:...So tired!!

-

Nathaniel, Mariana, Clyde, and Celine stood on the bedside of Ezekiel. They had harsh expressions on their faces.

Celine sighed.

"I knew it was not so simple as a rut's side-effect."

Nathaniel nodded.

"I should have believed you."

Mariana who had a serious expression added.

"Same. I thought it might not be that miraculous."

While, Clyde with his expressionless face said.

"I think we should discuss something more important."

The other three looked at him. Clyde said without a flinch.

"Since we have confirmed that this is a third awakening coma, that means the brother found his fated mate, then which means that mate is pregnant with the brother's seed. Our Royal Ancient Dragon Clan's 6th heir."

The other three became serious.

Clyde continued.

"Brother must want to find his fated mate after he wakes up, And we can't leave our sister-in-law outside in her condition."

Nathaniel nodded.

"Alright, I get you Clyde. I and Mariana will go and find the sister-in-law. I know the Emperor Astrid of the Astrid Empire."

Mariana also nodded.

"For once I agree with his decision."

Celine thought and agreed.

-

"Alright Let's go on a Vacation to Walter Kingdom."

Aster suddenly announced to the kids.

The kids were surprised and excited. Thea asked him in the amidst.

"Why all of a sudden?"

"Well there are a few things I want to solve before I plan something, and my first step to start my plan is there, The Walter Kingdom."

Aster glanced at the side window.

One of the most important things he found was the 12 major evils who were minions of Calamity. Among them, 'Moon Wraith' was a normal human in Walter Kingdom.

It seems that he needs to find some clues to get information about this.

As it is known, Know thy enemy before attacking.

However, The problem is that he can't leave the kids in the Astrid Empire alone, so he decides to take them along.

-

What he didn't know was that he missed a huge clue maybe that's how fate wanted to play out?
