A friend.

Zane and Lilly set in a journey to the capital as soon as Lilly came back, after three long hours of nom stop walking they finally got to to a city which had a huge wall of fence around it. "The city of gates, it seems we will be able to go to the capital from this city." Zane said as the walked to the huge gate which was the only opening in the fence but he was stopped by two guards. "Where is your identification badge?" The guard asked. "What do you mean by identification badge?" Zane asked politely.

"What shows your existence, surely with your dressing you must be an adventurer, so show me your adventurer card." The knight said stretching his hand. "Oh actually I'm not yet an adventurer, I came from my village to register as an adventurer in the capital." Zane said.

"The you won't be allowed in unless you register as a civilian, it only cost two silver." The guard said. "Okay." Zane said bringing out four Silvers, he intended to register himself and Lilly as a civilian. "That won't be necessary." Lilly said bringing out her Valkyrie badge.

"What kind of badge is this?" The first guard asked. "Wait a minute, she's a Valkyrie, the elite warriors of elves. why would she be travelling with an ordinary human." The guard asked aloud. "He's my master." Lilly said with pride causing the guard to laugh. "Funny, I think you had it backwards, it was funny hearing a Valkyrie calling an ordinary human her master."The guard said.

"Can I get my civilian badge or what?" Zane asked out of impatience. "Sure, come over here and place your hand on this cube, your badge would be ready in two minutes after." The guard said binging out a yellow cube. Zane placed his hand patiently as he waited for two minutes. during that period people walked in and out of the city but the one who picked his interest was a girl in light silver armour. she had blonde hair and a calm and cute face her skin had a shiny appearance like a pearl. she ha a nice curvy figure an her boobs almost match the size of Lilly even though elves were known to have big boobs.

He learnt that using appraisal and revealing eyes he could be able to see the basic information of living things. When he used it on her, he was quite impressed. [Name: noel Avaly, Tittle: Third princess of Avalian kingdom, occupation: Rank S adventurer of The Avalian Adventurers guild. Stats: Strength: 250, Speed:300, Stamina: 330, luck: 70, intelligence:150 Magic power: 500, M.p: 69/700. S.p:80/900.]

"Wow, she's stronger than me, I guess with her stats I might be a rank B Adventurer, I have a long way to go, not to mention Ss or even the world class monsters." Just as Zane thought about it, he immediately had the urge to get stronger all of a sudden. "Noel, I have a feeling we'll be meeting each other soon." Zane said with a smile which caused Lilly to feel jealous. "What is so special about her?" Lilly sneered.

"Oh it's ready." Zane thought to himself as he saw a plane card floating in the air with his picture, name and also there was a column which stated slave: Lilly Al Elsra.

"So the Valkyrie is really his slave, Then this kid must be something special."The guard whispered amongst themselves giving Zane the card." You may now enter the city of Gates." The first guard said with a bow. "Why are you bowing at him, he's not the Valkyrie but the slave."The second guard said. "Damnit, he's trying to spoil my act." the first guard thought to himself with anger looking at the second guard. "Thank you, may I know your name."Zane asked. "You can calle John." The first guard said. "The consider us friends, take this as a toke of our friendship." Zane said giving him ten gold coins.

"Thank You, you Master."The guard said. "We're friends so drop the formality, call me Zane, Zane Alterion." Zane said as the two guards froze. "Did he just say Alterion, then was he the son of The former mage president and the second knight king." John thought to himself as he couldn't help but smile. "My life will be blessed, thank goodness I followed my instincts, its a pity he didn't have such talent as mine." John thought to himself looking at the second guard who was still frozen as he just missed his chance. "Can I also be your friend." The second guard asked bowing. but Zane just walked passed him. "I knew it, he totally just ignored me."The second guard said as he looked at the shadow of the Zane.

Zane and Lilly both walked into the city as the went to the gate center of the city. "So this is the central city of gates, it's the center of Avalian while the capital is just slightly after it. Its said that the city has gates leading to other city, in other words in this city you could instantly teleport to any city within the Avalian kingdom.

"Please take us both to The capital."Zane said bringing twenty silver, then silver was the fee for one person, "Don't pay for me I have my own money." Lilly said bringing out ten silver coins.

"That's the sign of two lovers." The transport mage said causing Zane and Lilly's face to turn red before disappering.
