Chapter 1-1

"How was your first day at school?" Gradinos asked his grandson who sit next to him in his private limousine that parked in school parking lot.

"I have lot of fun, very nice," Eir answer with a smile so as not to make his grandfather worry.

"That's good. Grandpa will return now, take care of yourself," Gradinos ruffled Eir's hair.

"Be careful on your way, Gramps."

Eir got out of the car then waved as his grandfather's car left.

Set aside the surprise he got from Kaguya, nothing bad happen to Eir today, but Eir felt something was lacking. Eir feel ... lonely.

Everyone's views on him have not changed even since he was in middle school, they always tried to approach him, but Eir still felt an invisible barrier. Eir feels so distant with everyone.

Even so, Eir still smile at two student who greet him.

Eir chose to return to his apartment on foot, although he could arrive in a flash with teleportation skills. Eir wants to calm his mind by walking down the streets of North Warden.

Wardenlicht was peaceful, everyone in this city lived a normal life, no different from other cities in various place of the world. Eir couldn't imagine that twenty years ago entire Neo-Atlantis became the last battleground against the evil, the final war to defend humanity and all who live in this world.

Eir continued walking, but the direction changed. Eir didn't head to his apartement, he just wanna walk without thinking about destination.

Sometimes, some people greet him. Eir has lived alone at North Warden for the past years, that's why more people know him.

Besides being known as grandson of Gradinos Arthems the Zeus, Eir is also known as son of the lost hero Azazil the First Fallen. Although the status of his father's heroism is still debated until this day because Azazil himself is evil personification.

What's more, a mysterious incident that occurred five years after the last war and gave rise to the second Moon was made by Eir and his parents.

Eir stopped walking when he see a child who goes hand in hand with his parents.

"Mom, dad," Eir smiles but his heart feel hurt.

Eir looked at the clear sky, try hard to held back his tears.

"I miss you so bad."

Eir arrived at the border between North Warden, South Warden and East Warden at dusk. Wardenlicht consists of three main districts, the north, the south and the east. The three districts are separated by Ristria river which separates three districts of Wardenlicht.

After Eir buy soda from vending machine, he sit in a bench facing riverbank. Afternoon atmosphere at the Garden of Three Warden was quite crowded by youngster and some families with children.

"Huh! No time for sadness, I must remember what I say myself," Eir opened his can of soda then drink quickly. He try to be positive.

He look at the sky once again.

Moon and Ionia, two satellites of Earth began to appear at the end of dusk. Although faint, the scenery presented is really beautiful, this is why Garden of Three Warden is a favorite place to enjoy afternoon.

But then, smile on Eir's lips is gone. Eir feel uneasy, something is not right.

Eir squeezed an empty soda can then thrown right into trash bin. Eir walked fast along the river side, he try to find 'something' that he feel.

After quite far from the park area, Eir felt a supernatural flow coming from the urban forest.

To fulfill his curiosity, Eir entered the forest which was part of East Warden district. Wardenlicht urban forest is not too wide, but it's dense enough that the middle part of forest is cannot be seen from the main road.

And that's where Eir sees someone cornered by two people with school uniform, the man holding a bow and the women holding a spear.

"Stop!" Eir leaps forward to protect the people who are cornered.

But then confusion occurred because the person protected by Eir suddenly ran away.

"What you doing! He's a dangerous criminal!"

"Wh-what?"

"Chase him!"

Those two person quickly chase the criminal. Eir reflexively joined the chase.

But onfortunately they fail to track the criminal when enter East Warden area, the criminal is gone, he ran so fast with his abilities.

"You ruined our job!" bow-holder person snapped. He grab Eir's collar.

"Massoud, do you know who he is?" the women with spears tried to calm the man.

"I know," Massoud looked at Eir angrily.

"He is Schveir Arthems!"

"I don't care even though he's Prince of Olympus, he is the one who puts innocent people in danger."

"You can get angry at him later, it's better if we now ask for help from headquarters."

Eir was speechless knowing his mistake.

"Okay, I'll contact headquarter now," Massoud take his hands off Eir's collar then take his cellphone.

"I'm sorry, I will help you to catch that criminal," Eir volunteered.

"It's alright prince Arthems, we can handle it. And I apologize for his rude behavior," the spear-wielding woman say softly.

Eir bite his lips. Knowing that Eir felt very guilty, the spear-wielding woman introduced herself to calm Eir a little.

"We are third year student of South Warden Highschool and alliance trainees. My name is Seulgi Hyeon-Ju and he is Khalid Massoud."

"I am Schveir Arthems, you already know who I am," Eir forced himself to smile.

"Hyeon, help is on the way. We leave first," Massoud asked Seulgi without care for Eir.

"Hey, I can help."

"Whatever," Massoud start to run.

Seulgi looks at Eir and smile.

"Let's go prince Arthems."

"Just call me Eir, senior."

"Okay, but don't call me 'senior'. Seulgi is enough."

They both began chasing Massoud.

"I'll try to track him down with my abilities," Eir tell Seulgi.

"Ah, I almost forget if you can use all type of abilities."

"Don't expect too much, I'm not very skilled in some support ability like this."

In the midst of search for criminals, Eir uses an ability from Esper, an Electroscanner. With those science type abilities, Eir can track every life source within a hundred meter radius.

"We must find him as fast as possible before he hurt someone, we rely on you, Schveir," said Massoud without looking back.

Seulgi whispers to Eir.

"I hope you not mad at him, actually he is good person."

"I know," Eir smiling with relief.
