Gazel's POV

It has been around a month since Veldora disappeared and because of that my workload has increased greatly. First the eastern empire has started to mobilize their forces, I of course have begun to prepare for an attack because of it. Next the monsters in the Jura forest start to become unstable, making the trade routes through there hazardous for traders causing item prices to increase. Worse still the old prophecy my father told me is starting to come true. Not all of it thankfully has and similar things have happened before and nothing happened then. But my gut feeling says it is different this time, the order of events is perfect with the prophecy and now according to it a new nation will start to rise in the Jura forest. I will also be visited by the void dragon soon, though from the rumors I heard about it Veldanava the first true dragon sealed it away long ago for the world's safety. This comes from apparently an old demon lord who saw the event themselves. I'm unsure of its credibility but if so then it will thankfully likely never happen. Soon after this thought a commotion was heard outside my door. I of course stood up since it sounded like a possible battle but it quickly quieted down so I'm unsure.

Then the door to my office flung open and a white haired woman entered the room with my guards unconscious behind them. I tried to use my unique skill to read their thoughts but it was blocked. Immediately my guard went up and I drew my sword for a possible battle.

Tesstarosa- "Relax king Gazel I'm only here to deliver a message from my master i will not harm you but only defend myself. As you can see your guards are only unconscious and not dead as my master instructed me to. You may call me Tesstarosa as the name given to me by my master."

Gazel- "Well then Tesstarosa, what is this supposed message your master has for me?"

Tesstarosa- "He says that the prophecy is near and he will soon come to visit you in his human form. He will not appear as the shadows your predecessors once new for his powers have been mastered and can no longer threaten the world on accident. He asks that you prepare for his coming in a few days around a week at most. He also says that his nation in the forest is still developing and you can visit it in a few months. He will give you further details when he arrives here."

Gazel- "So it's time then is it. My inner fears have come true. Tell your master I await his arrival."

Tesstarosa- "Thank you king Gazel and he also told me you should ask your court mage about my appearance. It should help you come to understand his true strength when he arrives along with the power his nation will hold one day."

After that she teleported away even though we had legion magic around the castle at all times. Clearly she was not a normal majin, especially with that haki she had. Soon enough my guard reinforcements arrived and inspected the scene for clues on how they got in and Jaine soon appeared as well to help the investigation. It was there I decided to ask her about the individual's appearance. Vaughn also was nearby when I asked about the question.

Jaine- "The person you are describing your majesty is the same description of the individual known as the white primordial. A powerful demon of hell who rules above all other demons along with the other primal demons. You even tell me she has a name and a physical body as well?"

Gazel- "Yes she did and even said she has a master who I believe once meet my grandfather long ago. They also said by telling me this it would tell me the power his nation will hold."

Jaine- "This individual your majesty basically has the second coming of Guy Crimson and he uses them as a messenger. The power of his nation would appear to be unimaginable. Who is this supposed master who can tame a primordial demon so easily?"
