Hao. The Awakening of the Chosen (Finish)

Chapter 3.2

Luther arrived at the meeting where topics such as the search for the Luminaries in the Kingdom of the Quill and in the other realms were discussed. They agreed that the imperial guard would be in charge of seeking and tracking the Luminaries. Luther, on his part, would supervise various patrols, participating in some across different realms. They specifically ordered to stun the Luminaries and imprison them; they didn't know the extent of their powers and considered them too important to be killed.After the meeting, Luther went down to the dungeons to check if they hadn't accidentally captured any Luminaries. As he descended, he noticed someone following him down the stairs, cloaked to conceal their identity and unarmed. Nonetheless, Luther swiftly turned, catching the person off guard. He grabbed the individual by the neck, slamming them against the nearest wall, keeping them suspended while asking questions.—"Who are you? Identify yourself," Luther demanded.—"I am Fernando, a general of the Teheritian army," the general affirmed.—"What do you want?" Luther inquired again.—"We've been supporting the Night Whispers for centuries. We've come to assist you. The emperors can only aid you above the law, but we can do so clandestinely. Any task, any mission, assign it to us," the general suggested.—"First, I must speak with your leader," Luther demanded.—"Certainly, but there's a problem; our headquarters are not in this realm. Would it bother you if we go to another realm?" the general explained.—"No," Luther replied.Fernando guided Luther through the castle corridors to a parking area on the castle's top floor. The parking area had an open door that led directly into the sky. Fernando stood beside the door.—"This is the transport, come aboard," the general invited.—"I don't see any transport," Luther said.—"To see it, you must believe in it and trust me," the general explained.—"Okay," Luther trusted.Bravely, Luther walked toward the exit of the parking lot, thinking the vehicle was there, and fell into the void.Fernando swiped his card over the invisible vehicle, revealing it—a locomotive of an old-fashioned train with two aircraft engines on each side. He quickly boarded it and went after Luther. After several minutes of maneuvers, he caught Luther in midair, dropping him onto the front seat.—"Never trust a Samiz," the general laughed.—"I see. Cross me once more, and you're dead, I swear," Luther promised.Together they crossed several realms until reaching the Volcanic Realm, where they slowed down and descended to enter through a secret door at the rear of the realm. Upon landing, a group of mercenary soldiers, all bearing the Teheritian shield, was waiting for them. At the end of the group stood a formally dressed man, indicating he was the Teheritian leader. Both Luther and Fernando got off the vehicle, walking through the group until they reached the leader.—"Luther, let me introduce you to the Teheritian Supreme Leader," the general presented the leader.—"Thank you for the introduction, general. I'm Héktor, the chief," Hektor said.
