Legend Of The Planar Dragon Emperor

Chapter 2 - Mysterious Man

The breeze of the wind can be felt by the workers of the village. Children can be heard playing and farmers are tending to the field.

In house was a mysterious man, not much was known about him besides the fact that he came to the village one day and after some negotiations with the village head he was allowed to build a residence in the village

Some say he was a retired adventurer due to his sword that he carried upon arriving, it was a beautiful sword adorned with various pattern of stars and other celestial engravings on it. Its blade was the same colored as the night sky and some shine could be seen from them sometimes it was if there was stars that twinkle from the blade.

Some asked if it was a ceremonial blade due to how majestic it looks but the man denied it and just said it was a simple sword for combat. Nothing more nothing less.

This man was now seating down in a rocking chair enjoying a cup of coffee when a bird came flying and landed near him. In its feed was a letter tied by a string.

Upon seeing the bird the man then grab the letter and quickly read through it and after read it he muttered softly.

"I wonder what that witch, Noire wants from me to request a meeting..."

The man asked to himself and he took another glance at the letter. The letter contained an invitation to teach at the Ill.u.s.trious Grand Academy, the most prestigious school in the continent. It had taught some of the greatest heroes that later fought against the various calamities that came after the 1st Great Calamity, where the Devil Dragon Emperor nearly conquered the whole world.

The Academy was founded by the Witch of Time, Noire, one of the Heroes of the 2nd Great Calamity. The 2nd Great Calamity happened thousands of years after the Restoration Era. During this time the Demon Emperor tried to invade the world like during the First Great Calamity and like the First Great Calamity there also exist heroes the managed to defeat him. These Heroes were later known as the 7 Stars. Only one of them lives in the present that being Noire the witch of time.

Legends have told that she herself was an immortal being that will never die of old age and with her strong power she is even more impossible to kill. During the restoration period after the 2nd Great Calamity Noire founded the Ill.u.s.trious Academy where many great figures have graduated from including the heroes of the following Great Calamity that happened, but regardless of how dire the situation if humanity is Noire never involved herself in the Great Calamity unlessed her academy was attacked, but surprisingly even after various Great Calamities humanity still managed to fend of the invasions.

"Guess i'll go ahead and meet with her. I don't anything to do anyway, might as well." The mysterious man mutters to himself.

A voice then resounded as if to respond to his voice in the room. "So I take it you will accept her invitation to teach, Sora?" Asked the voice toward the mysterious man,Sora

"Not yet, don't get me wrong Ciel i'm only thinking of meeting her first." (Sora)

Sora said to Ciel who cannot be seen in the room. Sora touched the necklace he has on his neck and rubbed it slightly and said, "It seems you don't call me master anymore unlike when you were first given to me, Ciel"

The necklace on Sora's neck was the true identity of the one called Ciel. It was a necklace with a mysterious engravement on it, the middle of it was a black stone with glittering white dots in it like those of the night sky.

This was Sora's partner along the years since he has gotten it, to him it was his closest friend the accompanied him throughout the long years.

"Well then shall we prepare for a journey?" Saying that Sora finished up his coffee and looked at the bird standing in the front poarch of the house.

"I should make a response to her." He then went to write a letter and gave it to the bird.

The Bird after receiving the letter flew up in the air towards the direction of ill.u.s.trious academy where the Witch of Time, Noire resides.

After gazing at the bird who flew away for a few moments Sora then re-entered the house and prepared to go to work. In the village Sora worked as one of the hunters. This also further supported the idea of him being a former adventurer the people of the village.

After preparing himself Sora then headed towards the forest armed with various knives and a bow hanged on his shoulder. He also has a quivee strapped behind him. With this he looked like a geniune hunter.

Entering the forest he went to the familiar hunting grounds. Going around the hunting spots he managed to kill various animals drained their blood and stored them in his spacial bag. Spacial Bags were popular items most veteran adventurers own they were said to be invented by the Witch of Time, Noire to help the adventurers guild which one of her former comrade in the 7 Stars founded.

After storing the game he had hunted, Sora was preparing to return to the village when he felt something in the distance.

"Hey Ciel... was that just me or..." (Sora)

Before Sora could finish Ciel interrupted him and confirmed what he sensed.

"No your not wrong I felt it as well it was a high ranking demon... based on this presense its a Demon Viscount." (Ciel)

Ciel confirming Sora's guess that it was a demon further confirmed the strength of the high ranking demon.

"Shall we work a little longer?" Asked Sora with a smile on his face as he looked towards the direction where they felt the presense. To his question Ciel expessed her agreement.
