Regalia

Zion was on on top of a hill very far from Atlantis but still visible from his point of view. His eyesight could focus like a telephoto lens and can clearly see the city. But right now he was not there to look at the city but observe the people. Three days before the proclamation all the guest arrived at the city, some traveled on their own, some were fetched by the Royal Hornet Air Fleet(RHAF) which is the newest addition to their air vehicles.

Zion was observing them through mana by communicating with his cybernetic nanobots that is spread at the trees and plants in the dark forest and those planted at the thirteen islands at the lake, beasts, and even the fishes and plants in the lake. He can clearly make a three dimensional image just by using all monitoring capabilities like sonar, acoustic, radar, x-ray, heat, mana and mana more. though he could not see them it was very clear in his mind, and can even differentiate gender, and can even see internal injuries and a lot more.

Though he is still practicing the ability and was not perfect yet, it was amazingly useful and effective. Every step they make and every breath they make, Zion could feel and see an image. The spread of his bots were astonishing, it penetrated into the mountains surrounding the Dark Forest, drifted along the Holon river and into other cities and parts of Banawe kingdom. Some even penetrated into the people but Zion chose not to intrude in their privacy and set the bots to remain dormant if they spread through people. Though he can ultimately use the ability all the time, he chose not to and let Azraelle do the observation to her as they practically have the same ability of observation.

Merchants, travelers and migrants big and small wanting a piece of the pie have traveled far and wide for the coronation, some curious but not expectant of the future of the event but after arriving at Atlantis their view of things changed drastically, though they heard of the rumors, they thought it was exaggerated information that became almost like fantasy.

The proclamation of a new established Kingdom followed by the Coronation of it's ruler will be held at the same place. The venue is at an open space in the biggest island of Atlantis which is the Zeus Island. It is televised in small and large projectors including hologram will be scattered throughout the the Dark Forest Cities and secluded areas. The throne where the coronation will be held will also be the area that the monarchs castle would be built.

The traditional Coronation which is usually observed in the continent, in which a religious leader anointing the monarch then crowning him. In their continent, the divine right of kings, divine right, or God's mandation is a political and religious doctrine of political legitimacy of a monarchy. It stems from a specific metaphysical framework in which a monarch is, before birth, pre-ordained to inherit the crown. Which in this ceremony will be partially followed.

Religious Leaders or representative from both Demur and Lumen Faction will be anointing the monarch, presenting him with regalia(the emblems or insignia of royalty, especially the crown, scepter, and other ornaments used at a coronation.)

Zion's regalia of choice would be a scepter, orb and a crown. At the top of the scepter would be a floating glowing sphere mana crystal, supporting the floating crystal is the small statue of black Chrome colored Demur, and White Pearl Lumen both spreading their arms as if to control the Floating Mana crystal. The handle design is a black hexagonal shaped small scales that arranged neatly covering the handle while it glowed white at the crevice in between the scales. The Orb is a simple floating steel sphere with hexagonal scales formed together to create a sphere while it has the same white glow in between hexagon scales. Lastly the crown has simple design, six pearl white and Chrome Black wings alternately to form the crown.

All in all his theme was White and black a modern and futuristic look. His ceremonial dress is a black military uniform with its silver linings and buttons that give it a more simple but elegant look. At the wrist area of the long sleeve was a silver 3 inch stripe with black lining at the border indicating the highest military rank, his belt was also silver that highlighted the black uniform making it more cool looking. His uniform is fit but not tight with modern and futuristic streamline design. While his cape enough to touch the ground was black with white fluffy design over the shoulder making it more cozy, beautiful and elegant contrast. The black leather Boots with silver metallic strap holder lined at the side make the boots move heavy looking but still elegant overall.

All the officials and military men wore white and black but white was the most dominating color to contrast the dominating black of Zion's uniform. Including the invited guests as it was the theme on which the guest would follow.

The guests gifts flowed inn into Atlantis as the ceremony nears it's scheduled date. But upon request of Zion in the invitation letter, He requested that gifts should be simple, and if not Zion even requested if they can to gift unearthed samples of ancients and even rare beasts, rare mineral finds, and even valuable information of resources and even rare books of such. He discourage monetary, food resources and even gold and other precious materials as they have no use of it.

The partial constructed city was actually floating at the surface of the huge Lake Holon, it was supported by long and huge legs that hold the islands themselves as if octopus tentacles that is lodge beneath the soil under water. Construction was still ongoing as it will only halt temporarily during the day of the ceremony. People from different places travel to witness the rumored floating islands of Dark Forest. There are even other races, such as Laxi which are more adept in using mana, but their skin was pale and sickly looking and a foot taller than average humans, some of their distinct feature was developing a Mana crystal at their forehead that also labeled them as half beast, Dragonewt who have dragon wings and dragon scale with dragon head but still human like in posture. The Barbarians, which are a foot shorter but more bulkier than average person. Adept in surviving on harsh environments like rocky mountains, contrary to the belief that the barbarians are simple minded unintellectual race, they actually are advanced and complicated, especially on inventing devices.

Everyone was excited specially the citizens, as they will finally have a ruler and a place to call their own.
