It was a 6 hour flight from Agir to Aetheria with a transit scheduling a city for some refueling.

Cellinia was fast asleep,till the plane had hit some minor turbulence.she slowly opened her eyes still resting her head on Free's shoulder.

She yawned aas she rubbed her eyes and looked into the eyes of her beloved.
Free looked quite anxious as his legs were shaking non stop as he looked directly at her.

"What's the matter?"
She asked

"Nothing,just anxious"
"I don't know what to do when I get back"
"I haven't seen my actual parents in well over 4 years"
"So I'm really not sure what to do when we get there"
He said with a smile as he grabbed her by the shoulder and pulled her closer towards him.

They both had a light blush on their faces as they finally had some private time together excluding the pilot of the plane of course.

"Yknow I had a dream about our future together"
Cellinia said as she got closer to her prince.
"We had a grand wedding,and then,we had two beautiful kids together"
"Mother and father was there"
She continued until free grabbed his sword and picked it up admiring it's craftsmanship.

Cellinia asked Free
"What's with that sword anyways,it seems to be really important to you because of how you take extra care of it"

Free looked at her with a wry smile on his face as he looked down.
"It was one of the last things I managed to recover before Solaris fell"
"Along with this amulet my adoptive father gave me before he breathed his last"
"This blade was said to be the weapon of a legendary warrior that had founded the kingdom according to my adoptive father"
"I never understood it's power until the last round of the tournament"
"But nonetheless, powerful or not it's a reminder if my second home"
Free's eyes began to water as he recalled seeing the bodies piled on top of each other and other horrid scenes that had occurred during the kingdoms Siege.

Cellinia held free tightly in her arms as she heard the tale refusing to let go.

A voice came from the radio as the captain started to speak.
"Attention,you two lovebirds could you two please fasten your seatbelts as we will be landing in an estimated 15 minutes to refuel the plane"

The two just sat on the sofa inside the damn private jet because no way are you going to somehow fit seatbelts in there.(yes I don't care about safety)

The jet landed in some kind of kingdom between Aetheria and Agir.the two went into some private lounge that the king had treated them to during the layover.
Free was mindlessly scrolling through his phone as Cellinia brought out some thick leather bound book.

"I know it's in here somewhere"
She said as she flipped through the old book crammed in her rucksack.
"Found it"
She said with excitement grabbing Free's arm.
"It says here that the sword that you wield was indeed the one from the legend"
"The legendary warrior that had founded that kingdom, prayed for God to give him a weapon to slay the corrupted that had taken over the land"
"The from the heavens came this blade that had the abilities to vanquish the False God that had taken the free will of the people in that country"
Said Cellinia as she looked at Free with stars in her eyes.
"Now the burning question is,Have you given it a name?"

"No,I haven't thought about it actually"
Said Free
"I've been calling it Mr sword for a while but even I think its getting annoyed of that corny name"
The crystal on the sword glowed with agreement.
"See, even it agrees"

Free picked up the sword and held it in both his hands.
"But with the power to Fell a god you need a name suitable"
"And so"
"I name thee"
"Myriad Truths"
The blades crystal glowed with a bright blue light agreeing to the name it was given.

The two were called shortly after as the plane had just finished refueling.
As the two went on the plane and continued on their journey.

Free still sat anxiously during the flight,as they continued their journey to Aetheria.

As they entered Aetherian territory.Free looked down to see that his old country wasn't their anymore, instead it had been transformed into a futuristic and technologically advanced utopia.

They had managed to use magic and fuse it with technology to create an everlasting futuristic utopia.
Although it wasn't a big country, Aetheria didn't have power in numbers, instead it had gained power through the constant technological breakthroughs.

As the plane landed and the two exited the aircraft,filled with excitement.Cellinia took a deep breath and exhaled as she said
"Finally some fresh air"
She looked at free only to see him grasping his blade tightly.
With a serious look on his face, staring at the tallest tower in the country.
The headquarters of Free's fathers company, Eclipse industries.

Cellinia grabbed Free's arm as she dragged him into the airport.
They did the usual such as baggage claim and did some walking for a bit before they faced off their first challenge, Immigration.

Cellinia got through immigration easily while Free was stuck because he only had a solarian passport,even though it stated that he was born in Aetheria,The officer looked in disbelief as he knew that everyone in solaris was killed by Lunaris.

Free was escorted to a private room for investigation only for it to be blown up on the inside because Free didn't want to waste any time.

"I could've done that too yknow"
Said Cellinia

"I don't trust you,with those destructive abilities of yours''
"I'll teach you on how to control them later don't you worry"
Free said as the two left the airport.

The two took a taxi to the headquarters of eclipse industries.The two entered with ease, Security didn't dare stop anyone wearing black royal garments wielding a crimson blade with an expression that looked like it could pierce through steel.

The two went into the elevator as free slammed the button to the top floor.

"No need to be so aggressive"
Cellinia said

Free stayed silent, taking an envelope from the inside of his cloak.
He grasped it tight to the point of it crumbling.

As the elevator stopped,Free told Cellinia to wait outside his father's office
As free stormed off into a hallway with a double door entrance at the end.

He knocked on the door.As a middle aged man from the inside stood up from his chair, slowly opening the door wide enough to see two people.

He saw a blonde young man with a red streak running through his hair, wearing dark royal garments with a tattered cloak around his waist and saw a young white haired woman with piercing red eyes behind him.

"And who might you two be?"
The man said with a confused look

Free looked him dead in the eye and replied with

"It's been a while"
"Father"
