Magi: Lost in Time

Scroll 9: Resound

Yrif Kingdom was miles away from Sindria. It will take about a day or two without rest to get there. Thais was determined to get there by the end of the day as she raced passed the clouds. Sinbad was reluctant to let her go, but with a little bit of argument, he cave in. Now, she was over Aktia. Reim will be her next stop and hopefully, she will be able to regain her strength there after non-stop usage of magoi.

"T-This place should be a good to rest." She panted as Seere's full body djinn equip disappeared. Her other djinn's equip was actually quite decent even if it showed more skin than it should.

'Grab some snacks and if you're still determined to get to Yrif fast, we will have to use full force energy.' Marbas warned. The white haired conqueror understood their demands and complied. She went to a tavern and picked up some news about Magnostadt and the upcoming war. It looked like it was the magicians who declared war first. She hummed in understanding. Before long, her snacks were already finished and she was ready to travel once more.

"Alright. Let's head to Yrif and fetch our own metal vessel users." She grinned and boosted her flight more. The wind brushed her barely covered body and she enjoyed its caress. She watched out for Reim in case she missed that landmark. It was not later that she spotted it.

"One last trip and we'll reach Yrif by midnight. Solomon, I'm tired!" She whined. Her djinns scoffed at that. They told her that she was the one who insisted on going faster due to 'time constraint'.

She apologized and continued her journey towards her home country. The king, whom she was about to fetch, was unknowingly getting ready. He, too, had heard of the war that was about to erupt. As a king who stands by Reim as an ally, he could not resist their call for help. The soldiers of Yrif were also ready and were just waiting for Lady Scheherazade's orders.

"Leon, what is going to happen to Magnostadt if it did fall? Reim is an amazing country with full human power. Lady Scheherazade is also a legend to be wary of." Hotaru asked. Leonhart lowered by his wife's side and kissed her forehead to assure her that everything will be alright.

"I do not know yet the full extent, but more or less, people will fight for their home just like what we did years ago." He replied. Hotaru pursed her lips in anticipation. As much as she hated war, it was inevitable. A knock interrupted them and in, came the prince.

"Sivan, what are you doing here so late at night?" Her mother asked. The little prince walked to his mother and kissed her cheeks as greeting before bowing to her father. He told them that he wanted to hear news about the upcoming war.

"As you have heard son, our ally, Reim is about to take on Magnostadt head on. We heard that they took a precious person and held him hostage. Lady Scheherazade is furious and she wants her child back. For now, we wait for her orders." He relayed. Sivan nodded and asked if his aunt knew.

"I'm sure Lady Thais knows." Her mother giggled. The two shared a knowing look. She was the type of princess who would not just sit down and would always meddle at things she deemed to be meddled with. Sivan shook his head at his aunt's antics before bowing down to his parents. He told them that he will be by the training area.

"It has just been a year and he already matured so fast. I miss my cute Sivan already." Leonhart's wife whined. He could not help but chuckle. As for fun, he decided to tease her.

"How about another child, Love? I will make sure that he or she will be pampered." His seductive voice brought chills down her spine. She leaned in and decided to play along.

"Not now, my King. There are important matters we have to attend to." She replied. Leonhart was already turned on, but Hotaru playfully smirk at his reaction. He asked if they can after.
