Enlightenment

It's been a couple of days since the attack and dead bodies of both human and beast were segregated.

Thousands of humans died on the onslaught, but the number doubled to the amount of beasts that were dead.

It wasn't sure if it was accurate, considering body parts and some ashes were the only ones left after the battle, the flames took 2 days to extinguish, even with the help of multiple mages and Alicia's Fox.

The citizens and soldiers were helping each other rise the city back to its original state, but it was estimated that it would take months and years for it to be fully accomplished.

The damage caused by the fire alone would suck the city's treasury dry from the expense plus the manpower needed.

Amidst the busy streets, a girl was running through the crowd.

"Miss Alicia! Hold on"

"I can't wait here and do nothing, besides I know how hot those flames can be, I can extinguish it quickly, right Rylai?"

Woof woof!

A small blue dog with beautiful white fur responded to her as they both ran.

Going outside of the city walls she met with Frederick and the others who were trying to calm down the raging flame.

The ever-red flame peaked upwards and began to slowly spread.

"Mages, Quell the flames quickly!"

At Fredericks's command, they all took an effort in taking care of the giant fire.

"It's good to see you Alicia, how are you doing? Spade, take command of the mages and put out that fire quickly!" Frederick gave a command and went back to look at Alicia.

"No need to bother, I'm here to help out putting the fire down"

"That won't be necessary, but I appreciate your concern" Frederick denied her help.

The fire began to diminish in size as soon as it looked like it was to disappear, it sprouted in size once again.

It became a much larger fire than it was before. Still raging, ever burning in its place.

"I think you do, and Frederick no need to try so hard. This fire is really difficult to deal with. You extinguish everything in its roots. Rylai, will you do the honors?"

Arf arf!

The small dog that was cute in size began to expand and became larger as it reached a massive size.

The next second the dog, or more like the giant blue wolf froze the ground directly, the fire fought its way, but ultimately soon disappeared.

"And that's done, phew" Alicia made a smug face as she places both her hands on her hips

With a victorious pose, she was happy about how quickly she was now able to put out Arthas's fire.

Days ago after the battle, the soldiers and citizens were reorganized and helped in whatever way they can. Most notably the mages and Alicia tried to put out the flame, but to no avail, their progress was slow and even extinguishing the fire was hard enough as it would grow back.

It took Alicia a few hours which turned to days to figure out how to fully extinguish the fire, which she ran right after she figured out what would work.

'It worked! Let's go me, let's continue to Unfire the fires in the city' She was so happy that her face barely contained her excitement.

She told Frederick to gather all the mages and told them what she found out. They were amazed and quickly went to work.

In just a few hours the flames that were still lively soon began to wither from the ingenuity of Alicia's finding.

They all rejoiced while Alicia went back to her home where Daisy leisurely rested and her uncle in the garden.

'He's still there? What is he doing ever since that day he has been there for the past days'

Alicia walked out and went to sit down beside her uncle.

"You're here again, just why are you still here? Shouldn't you help the people outside?" Alicia asked him.

"I should…Yeah, but you see I already organized everything and told everyone what needed to be done. I already assigned people to facilitate, so what's left with me who has nothing to do? Just relax here." Francis took a sip of his tea and placed it back on the table.

"Just shoving everything to another person's back"

"It's called training the youth, and congrats on your achievement extinguishing Arthas's Flames"

"Oh please, I am quite proud of it, but thought, What is that flame seems to never run out of fire to burn"

Alicia grabbed a seat and sat on the opposite side of her uncle who was drinking tea.

"I don't know what that flame is but it's dangerous, and his summons are unusual. I haven't seen any of those summons before."

Francis scratched his cheeks as he paused. Alicia seems to notice this weird interaction and focuses her gaze.

"Alicia, the war in this domain is over. The Queen and The King made a truce for a certain, we shall now discuss what's to come next"

Francis straightened his back and his gaze was focused on her, giving her no option to back down from the conversation.

"What's next?" Alicia wondered.

"Yes, The Academy"

*****************

'Another dream huh? Fack me for overexerting, hey how did I manage to get a kill wasn't there a reward or something.'

Arthas looked around which made him very confused.

Around him dark forest illuminated with a blue dim glow that covered the forest.

Walking through twigs snap as his weight carried over snapping it in half. Rustles as the brushes go as he sweeps across the land.

'What is this? This is new, Is this what it feels like to get a patch update or something cause I remembered this ain't part of my dream'

The forest stayed grim as the blue light was condescending hope that remained in the darkness.

'It's cold as well, even my breath can be visible'

His hands shivered as they walk past the cold atmosphere.

After walking for a few minutes, he came across a lone tree, it was very big compared to the other trees in the forest.

It had a mystic look with branches that seem unnaturally natural, leaves that seemed to glow in pale blue colors. The trunk of the tree was decorated with fruits and other natural ornaments that made it out of place.

'What is this?' Arthas stopped and took at the sight.

Taken aback by this he slowly approached the tree, mesmerized by its somber glow.

As he got closer the tree became clear and saw all the little details regarding its trunks and intricate patterns.

Going closer until he was face to face a couple of meters from the tree. Its mystical aspect showered it with grace and mythical essence.

"What is this tree? How do I get out of here? Do I cut it down or what?"

Arthas placed his hands on hips shredding a sigh at the unfortunate problem.

"You are quite vulgar as always, Arthas"

Arthas jolted, shocked awake, and faced where the voice came from, from the tree.

Behind the tree came a teenage female with an androgynous face, beautiful, alluring yet pleasant. She had long white hair, a fit body, and slender legs.

Wearing a thin gown that goes down the ground, embracing her freely as she moves to her accord. Long white arms and white skin, the fairest so far that he had seen.

There was one thing that stuck out the most that made a declaration that she wasn't a human, the ears.

'Those ears are like Ralia's. Elves? Is she another elf from the Dominion?'
