60 The Things We Do For Love

Above the great Steanu sea, a huge big shadow is looming over the sea and blocking the sunlight from reaching the blue surface of the great sea. This shadow is traveling through the high white clouds going north in the kederawen kingdom direction.

The Steanu sea is the name of the southwestern sea in which Moxi island is situated. This sea has many islands in its territory and even some unknown islands that are still undiscovered to this date.

In fact, the whole archipelago of islands that form the Nation of Lefia is also a part of these islands. This sea is famous for its beautiful corals and magnificent maritime scenes. In fact, the Lefia kingdom is famous for its sea magic ingredients together with the coral exports as they're used in Alchemy and potions very much.

As the clouds started clearing, the big shadow started taking shape as the big shadow was, in fact, two airships. These two airships emerged from the sea of clouds and continued flying in the vast sky.

The two ships are very big and they gave a majestic air as they looked like dragons conquering the sky. The first one is a dark blue airship that was really big as it reached three hundred meters long and has an eagle head at the front.

This blue ship also seemed to have no one on it and looked empty. In fact, the airship has a rope attached to the other airship who seemed to be leading the way in this journey.

The other airship was even bigger as it reached over 400 m and even looked more powerful. Unlike the other airship, this one seemed more like those normal ships used to sail in the sea.

It has a very enchanting silver color and two big masts together with two big sails on both sides of the ship. What was the most catching on the big ship is the sun drawing on the sails.

It was evident that the sails are new ones and they were just replaced. The ship, on the other hand, looked old and just repainted not long ago. At the top of the long mast, a young man is standing and watching the horizon and the vast sky.

AN note: [He's standing like Jack sparrow and his song playing in the background XDD].

The young man seemed to be in his twenties and has short black hair and eyes that have a deeps green color together with a dark yellow flame-like color at the center of his irises.

This young man is none other than Aiden. It's been 5 days since he left Moxi island and started traveling towards the Kederawen kingdom. Although Aiden didn't show it, he is very excited inside as he thought about traveling in this new world and discovering all these new places.

It's been half a year since he came to this world and the only place he stayed in was Moxi island and so leaving the island and going to the big continent and having a great journey is truly amazing for him.

Aiden: "This ship is really amazing. Old man Charles really knows how to surprise me and didn't fail at that even after his death".

This ship which Aiden named Aeliana is, in fact, an ancient airship that Charles hid in Moxi island before he went to the flying Island. Before he died, he gave the ring to Aiden which is the key that activates the ship.

Aiden chose the name of Aeliana since it's a girl's name of Latin origin that means "sun". Aiden liked the name and chose it. He even changed the old sails and repainted the whole ship and when he placed the new sails, he painted a big sun drawing on the front and side sails.

Aiden who enjoyed the view up above decided that it was enough and used the rope attached to the mast and jumped down to the deck. He then looked around him and saw that nobody was there.

It hasn't been long since the sun rose and people are still not awake. Aiden decided to go back to the kitchen and prepare something to eat. This ship was so big that it could accommodate more than a thousand people. You could even get lost and no one would find you.

"Yo, Aiden, how are you doing?"

As Aiden was walking towards the kitchen, He noticed someone behind him who greeted him. He then turned and found that it was Alex who also came to the kitchen to find something to eat.

Alex was wearing a casual black t-shirt and blue pants. During their travel for the last five days, Aiden understood that this former knight is nothing more than a lazy guy that sleeps all day and do nothing.

Aiden didn't care too much since the guy wasn't a nuisance or something. He just always seemed bored and didn't care about anything in general.

The reason why Alex decided to go with Aiden is that Alex is also an adventurer from the Kaderawem Kingdom and he asked if they could take him with them since they headed the same way.

Aiden and the others didn't care as they have two big airships so why not take him with them. As both of them went and entered the big hall, they found the place empty since no one is awake yet.

Aiden who went directly towards the kitchen started preparing food for himself while Alex went to the refrigerator to find something to eat. Aiden didn't care about Alex anymore and he started making some fried eggs and some orange juice.

When Aiden first came to this world, he was really surprised when he found that some of the tools that existed on Earth were recreated here like ovens and refrigerators. Even coffee machines and microwaves were also created.

The only difference is that instead of using electricity, the people here used magic stones to power these machines. Aiden got accustomed to these things and didn't care anymore and used them as he used the other machines back on earth.

After preparing his breakfast, people started coming and also entered the hall. After some time, all the people on the ship gathered in the eating hall and started talking and enjoying the food.

There are twelve people on the ship including Aiden who are all going to the Kederawen kingdom together and all of them are sitting right now on the table talking and enjoying the food together.

Aiden who saw that sighed as he started remembering about how it all happened and it ended like this. Even though Aiden seemed uhappy but the little smile on his face said otherwise.

"Sigh, how did I get here? Well. At least it will be more enjoyable than before".

[6 days ago].

It's been a day since Lorra returned to her grandfather and right now they're preparing to go back to the Kederawen kingdom together with Aiden this time

Aiden, on the other hand, was also going so he can start tracking Riss from there. In these few days, Aiden got many important pieces of information thanks to Seath who was once a member of the fifteen nameless Titans.

Right now Aiden is sitting in the back yard together with Ceaser, Dian Long and Seath discussing everything they know and also their next step.

One of the most important information that they have right now is that the one who hired the Alliance is someone from the Kederawen kingdom and is a person who holds a high position in the kingdom.

Ceaser was at first surprised but then when he started putting the pieces of ten puzzle together he knew that only someone from the kingdom may the one to know the path Lorra and her team will take.

Ceaser: "Seems like I need to clean the palace and find the people who did this. Betraying the kingdom to work with the black alliance is an unforgivable act".

Dian Long: "You must find how the spy inside the kingdom is contacting the black market alliance. We also need to know where Riss is right now otherwise, letting him play in the continent like he likes will lead to a disaster we won't be able to cope with later".

Seath: "Hmph. You don't need to worry about that Riss. He's nothing more than a coward who always hides behind the alliance leader back".

Aiden: "...What are you talking about? Although that idiot seemed to fear me, I didn't see in cowardness in his eyes when we fought".

Seath: "Hmph...Are you sure we're talking about the same guy?.... The Riss I know is nothing more than a coward who always acts as a messenger between the alliance leader and the other titans".

Dian Long: "Impossible!! The Riss I know from my memories would never act like that. He would never lower himself to such a thing as a messenger. There must be something wrong".

Aiden: "Wait a minute...are you saying that there is something wrong with the Riss we met and the Riss he knows?".

Dian Long: "There must be. The Riss we saw was a fearless, cold and proud demonic dragon who never thinks about acting cowardly".

Seath: "Wait a minute....you said that Riss is a demonic dragon?? We always thought that he was human. Even the alliance leader introduced him as a human when we first saw him".

Ceaser: "....something is wrong here.....This Riss is definitely hiding something even from the black market alliance itself and he seems to also have a hidden agenda too. First, we need to find the spy so we can contact the alliance trough him and then try and infiltrate their group so we can find Riss and discover whatever he's planning and then stop it because it may involve a disaster".

Dian Long: "I agree with that".

Aiden: "As long as we find Riss then I'm in".

Seath: "I refuse".

"..."

Aiden, Dian Long and Ceaser turned and looked at Seath who refused to cooperate and didn't seem to be that excited about it. Dian Long who heard that just smiled and looked at him as he said to him.

Dian Long: "It seems that you forgot that you're nothing more than a prisoner her e who gives us information. We may have given you some freedom and even an arm but that is because we need you to destroy the alliance and that's all".

Seath: " I don't care what you think or what you did for me. I can give you this arm back because I don't need it anyway but I will tell you this....I will leave because I have more important things to do".

Dian Long: "Who do you think you're talking to you idiot wolf!! ..."

Ceaser: "You could go"

Aiden turned at Ceaser and felt a little surprised. Ceaser on the other hand just smiled calmly and looked at Seath who also turned back and is also surprised that Ceaser will let him.

Ceaser: "Don't be that surprised my boy. After all, shouldn't we forgive when having the chance? What's more, it seems like the alliance is also after he, am I right?"

Dian Long: "..?????"

Seath: "....argh....How did you know?".

Ceaser: "You kept mentioning her name before you completely lost your consciousness".

Seath suddenly raised from his seat and then looked at Aiden and then turned back and started walking back to the mansion. He then heard Seath saying some words before he left.

"I will make sure to pay the debt of healing me old man".

Woosh

Seath then disappeared and went and left the mansion and went to another place.

__________________________

Aiden: "... Old man, why did you let him go?"

Dian Long: "Yeah....looking at how you dote on your granddaughter and how much you love her, how are you able to forgive the one who kidnapped her?".

Ceaser didn't say anything and just smiled and gazed at the sky. He then raised his cup and started sipping some tea. He then looked back at Aiden and Dian Long and said to them with a calm voice.

Ceaser: "Do you know how much love can change someone? even the cruelest person can become nothing more than a docile lamb because of Love".

Aiden: "....what do you mean by this?"

Ceaser just sighed and then looked at the direction where Seath was seating.

"The things we do for love are immeasurable".
