The Ancients World

~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Walking Main Road to Capital City Ezhearts, The Fairy Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 10:17 PM)~~~

I can see the massive Holy Willow Tree in the distance and the massive city that it\'s centered around. The moonlight from above is making the scene something out of an old legend or something.

"It\'s been a long time since I visited The Fairy Kingdom... I\'m looking forward to seeing the new Capital City."

Back in the early days of The Fairy Kingdom, they only had one city. And that city was the same one that The Holy Willow Tree resided in. They moved to another part of the continent so they could expand their people.

Now The Fairy Kingdom has gained more cities, larger population numbers, and a greater infrastructure and land control. Ezhearts wasn\'t the original name of the city, but since they moved. They probably changed it as a new beginnings sort of thing.

"My connection to The Holy Willow Tree is still strong... I can feel it from here... Everyone would be asleep except for the guards at this time of night... Getting in might be a pain..."

The guards at the main gate into Ezhearts might prove to be a problem. It\'s naturally suspicious to enter a city this late at night. Especially if you\'re not a member of the race of the city, you\'re entering.

"The Holy Willow Tree might send someone to escort me... But I wouldn\'t be surprised if it didn\'t. The Holy Willow Tree is like that. The best way I can describe it is a bit flakey... But not entirely flakey..."

The road is coming to an end as the main entrance into the city is approaching. The city\'s walls are impressive, to say the least. They don\'t compare to the walls around the Elven Kingdoms Borders, but they\'re still something to be proud of.

As I approach the empty gates, a bunch of guards steps out. The females have butterfly wings, and the males have dragonfly wings. Just as I remember, some of them have their hands on their weapons. 

"The gates are closed until 8:00 AM. Turn around and go back the way you came."

Not very friendly, but I don\'t blame them. The fastest way through is to just show them who I am. So that\'s what I do. I toggle my Golden Wings on, and they spread out in an intimidating and impressive manner.

"I\'m here to speak to the leaders of Ezhearts. There is information that I need, and The Holy Willow Tree might know what I\'m looking for."

They\'ve all drawn their weapons on instinct, but I won\'t hold it against them. Seeing what they\'ve done a second later, all of them immediately sheaths their weapons. 

"Forgive us, Angel Zern! We had no idea it was you! If we knew, we wouldn\'t have been any form of disrespect! Kaletare!! Send word to the Holy Council!"

The leader of the group is adamant about his orders, and I glide my eyes over the remaining guards. Last time, female fairies weren\'t allowed to serve in the military or local guard and police forces... Looks like some changes have been made.

<br/>"Angel Zern, my name is Fadedar Moorse, and I\'m the Captain on duty at this shift. Follow me, and we\'ll take you to The Holy Willow Tree."

The guards part ways as I follow behind the Captain. I look at the buildings as we walk past, and there haven\'t been many changes since the last time I saw a city built by fairies.

They prefer to live in wooded structures emulating trees. Ezhearts is like an artificial city. Made from the roots of The Holy Willow Tree and forests grown here. It\'s one of the largest cities I\'ve ever been in and one that rivals the size of Capital Cities in Kingdoms and Empires.

"How have things been since The Holy Willow Tree moved the fairies again? The last time I was here, no one knew."

When I visited last time, I kept my identity on the down-low. Speaking of down-low, I toggle my wings off, and now I don\'t feel so exposed. I like walking with my wings out, but not when people stare at them. And the guards can\'t help but stare at them.

Fadedar glares at his squad for being the reason I turned off my wings. They have desperate expressions as if they\'ve committed a sin. Many people consider my wings to be Holy or Divine items. Staring at them inappropriately can result in punishment.

That\'s what I\'ve heard in my travels. But I can\'t be sure it\'s like that everywhere. It\'s like that here a little bit, but I don\'t think the guards will be punished.

"I\'m sorry for their rude and inexcusable behavior. As to your question from before, Ezhearts and The Fairy Kingdom is thriving. And we have you to thank for that."

I hold little to do with the current state of The Fairy Kingdom. But if they want to give me credit, I won\'t stop them. The Fairy Kingdom and its people are my allies. People that I can trust.

"I\'ve done nothing since the revival of The Holy Willow Tree. Everything that\'s happened since then is thanks to the fairy people\'s efforts."

The reactions around me vary. Most are a little surprised at my words, and the rest are happy to see I\'m somewhat of a humble person. I do have times of arrogance, but those are few and far between.

"The Holy Willow Tree has never been more alive, and the Holy Council says that\'s thanks to its connection with you and Fenrir. The High Priestess also says that the power The Holy Willow Tree has today is due to you sharing your power with it via the connection."

That\'s something I didn\'t know about, but it\'s not like it\'s noticeable. 

~~~(POV: High Councilman Parsorm)~~~

~~~(Location: Capital City Ezhearts, The Fairy Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 10:35 PM)~~~

The High Council had barely any time to prepare in The Holy Willow Tree\'s Chamber. It\'s where all of our meetings are held. We like to do them here so The Holy Willow Tree can know about what\'s going on in our lands too.

All the High Councilmen have been awoken from their homes and told the news that Angel Zern is on his way to The Holy Willow Tree. Captain Fadedar is buying us time to prepare a proper welcome for The Holy Willow Tree\'s Savior.

"Make sure all of the food is prepared in the next ten minutes! I don\'t want a single thing out of place within this room! He\'s already witnessed our city two days before cleaning day! We can\'t let him think we live in a hovel!!"

High Priestess Melzark is making sure that everything is the way it\'s supposed to look. Angel Zern may not know how much we fairies pride ourselves in cleanliness. It\'s why we have a city-wide cleaning day every two weeks.

"Calm down, Melzark. Everything will be fine. I\'m sure that Angel Zern wouldn\'t come here expecting some extravagant greeting. The Holy Willow Tree would\'ve warned us."

I don\'t know if that\'s entirely true, but it\'s easing Melzark, and that\'s what\'s important.

"Do you know how important Angel Zern is to The Holy Willow Tree and our people?! He\'s a personal friend of our ally and protector, Fenrir! Not to mention the actual grandson of The Almighty Father himself, and the only Angel to walk Gaia since creation!"

She\'s as at ease as I originally thought. She deeply admires Angel Zern, and she\'s not the only one. Every fairy thinks of Angel Zern as a Savior. It\'s understandable why she\'d act like this.
