Chapter 18: Xyrus City

I got into the carriage that the elf representatives were taking, while the king and queen were escorted into a separate carriage.

"Well look who it is! If it isn't the human brats! Did the royal family finally kick you out of the Kingdom?" An elf boy dressed in a very decorated purple robe smirked.

"Do I know you?" I felt like I knew who this elf was, but I couldn't quite place my finger on where we had met, not that I care anyways.

"I'm the noble you mercilessly attacked while defying the customs of the duel!" He bolted up angrily, pointing an accusing finger at me.

Putting my hand on my chin to recall, it suddenly clicked. "Oh! You're the stupid boy who thinks he is a genius! Your performance at that time was realy mediocre at best for a genius like youself hahaha. Huh so we meet again." I yelled out in realization.

"Meliodas you don't go around beating kids don't you?" Arthur asked me with a worried and funny expression.

"What do you take me for? A bully? You know very well I dont like hurting people without a reason, I only beat the ones who are a pain in the ass." I sat next to my brother.

"Y-you dare...!?" His face turned bright pink as his ears twitched profusely in anger while a few elves behind desperately tried to cover their snickering.

"Hahaha sorry, sorry! Im not a bad guy I just find it funny and entertaining to mess with arrogant people, that's it. I never did learn your name though," I chuckled, extending a hand to him.

Face still red, trying to preserve as much of the little dignity he had left, he rejected my handshake and declared in a pompous tone, "My name is Feyrith Ivsaar III, descendent of the noble Ivsaar family! You may have won while we were both children, but were we to duel again, I would win easily."

"I would love to see that, shishihsi." I laughed with my index finger under my nose.

A young elf girl that looked a few years older than Feyrith piped in, saying, "You can just call him Feyfey like we do."

"D-don't tell him that!" Face turning to an even darker shade of red, Feyfey turned his head away from me and took a seat.

"I understand now why you beated him" Arthur said, bringing down Sylvie from his head putting her on his and feeding her raw meet he took out from his back pack.

"See? I told you. By the way give me two eggs from the bag please." He looked for them inside and gave them to me.

"Papa should I jump on him and stangle him to death, maybe I should just bite him?" Amaya asked me lifting her head to look at me waiting for my reply.

"No Amaya, thank you for your concern but he's just a kid. And your bite is poisonous, if you bite him he will go through taumatic pain for hours before dying." I explained to her

And yes just like you heard, Amaya turned out to have a lot of abilities, with her 75 centimeters in lenght she have a very dangerous and fatal venom. But not only that, she actualy has something even cooler and more interesting.

Apparently she can manipulate space at will, but this will come with time, experience and practice. For now all she can do is lift a few light objects in the air.

"Here you go Amaya." She crawled her way and wrapped herself on my forearm with her tail holding into my elbow and her head on my palm that had the two eggs.

"Thanks papa! Amaya loves papa so much." She spoke in my head.

"Dig in Amaya, you need to eat to grow big and strong like papa." Everyone in the room thinks now that im a crazy boy or something, except Arthur of course who knows what is going on.

"Yumm its delicious papa." She had a cute smile on her face.

'Oh wait, I just realised something weird happenening! There are so many twins around me man. Me and Art are twin brothers, Tess and Elizabeth are twin sisters, and finaly Amaya and Sylvie are twin sisters. Very suspecious... Wouldn't this be something that goofy god did? Especially after finding Elizabeth here.'

Well it dosent really matter, as long as im happy and that im with my loved ones.

As our carriage went into the teleportation gate we were greeted by the now familiar sensation of being in the middle of a fast-forwarding film.

"We have arrived in Xyrus!" The driver announced.

Taking a quick peek out, I noticed we were surrounded by a parade of people all politely clapping at our entrance. This tournament was supposed to be one of the biggest turning points throughout the continent so it was only natural that this many people are here to greet the participants.

Maybe two or three years from now Im going to participate in this tournament to traumatize people here.

It wasn't just gathering all of the gifted youths together, but also building a future where they could also learn under one roof because even this world has racism and descrimination, so their goal is to stop it.

It was exciting venture that the leaders of the continent were taking, but also a scary one that would also, in no doubt, be filled with dispute and hostility.

The driver pulled the carriage close to a small gap between two buildings after passing through the crowd and signaled to us in the back that this would be the best time to leave without being noticed.

I said bye to Feyfey and the rest of the representatives and wished them luck. Feyfey merely whipped his head away but also made a slight waving gesture. 'He wasn't all that bad I think?'

*Sigh* 'He makes me feel bad for what I did to him now to be honest. My god I really need to stop being so nice.'

Jumping off the carriage with Arthur who had Sylvie still on his head and Amaya around my neck, we made our way through the alleyway as we tried remembering the home our parents were staying in.

But before that we had a quick tour in the city to at least have an idea of what the human kingdom looks like, and I have to admit that thid place is clealy better than Elenoir in everything. Magical technology, building and architecture and also the weather is warmer than the forest.

After around an hour of making our way going around, we finally managed to find the huge manor that our parents were supposed to be residing in.

"We're finally home bro. We're finally home," Arthur said shakily.

"It was a long journey and we finally made it back" I expressed.

I took careful steps with Arthur to my side walking up the flight of stairs and took one deep breath.

"Its been three years and a half brother, are you ready?" I asked without looking at him.

"Im ready bro, let's do it." He nodded his head. A mixture of emotions engulfed my being, starting with nervousness, fear, excitement, happiness and determination.

Taking a deep breath and dusting off my shirt and pants I knocked on the giant double doors, the dull sound of metal clanging on metal rang surprisingly loudly.
