Riding on Veriskua's back was something Kael enjoyed. He was literally flying high up into the sky. Kael could see Marchen from where he was. It was pretty big. From what Kael understood Marchen had conquered three countries to form it. The capital was a fortress.

"We're here. Call me if you want to turn this place into hollowed ground." Veriskua said as Kael slid off the dragon's back, diving deep into the oceans below. In Kael's hand was the pendant his mother gave. One that he needed to prove that he was his mother's child. Breaking the surface of the water, Kael could see the beautiful corals, the marine life that shied away from Kael's pressence. Kael repositioned himself, trying to make sure he wasn't losing his sense of direction.

Kael was swimming upwards, breaking the surface of the water with his head. Taking a deep breath. He looked at the fortress walls just meters away from him, yet there was something that stopped him. Kael looked at the barriers, and realizing why. A sophisticated barrier. One that Kael was familiar with, this was similar to the Priestess of Water. It's one that Kael could not break. Because if he did it would destroy the priest and there was another reason.

The Priestess of Water, was Kael's wife. If this is the original priestess, then it would be someone he cannot harm simply. Kael could break it, but the damage to the Priestess would be irreversible. He remembered because he watched the Priestess die in his arms when the barrier she made was broken. In an essence, it was a cruel 2nd life for Kael.

Kael then swam away from the barrier, this time looking for a place that was not covered in the barrier. Kael reached land, getting up on his feet. A snap of his fingers, the clothes he wore dried up easily. In his hands was Scarlet Vow, a blade of vows. Kael walked on ahead to a nearby town. There was no guards but he felt mana pulsing in the air. Mana was plentiful and abundant here, and it may be why a lot of people here are Adepts. Kael walked into the town, they turned to see Kael who had four swords hung over the back of his hips.

Perhaps they could vaguely sense that the weapons Kael had were unique. Kael could hear the sounds of hammers being struck. Black Symphony was currently in his heart with Radiant Sonata, comforting her dear sister. The heat of the forge was reaching Kael, he turned to the building on the right. Watching a woman pull out a blade to quench it. Kael walked into it, glancing over at the weapons that have been made. Beauty in craftsmanship.

The woman was busy with her work, not a glance to look at Kael. He walked out from the building, then looking everywhere else. Seeing teenagers practicing with their weapons, embracing their magic. A sphere of flames went ahead to Kael's direction, where Kael caught it with his hands.

"Sorry, mister!" The child spoke up, Kael passed the sphere back to them as they kicked and punched it. Perhaps they were still practicing their control. Kael moved on ahead as he walked to see more of this town. The sight of seeing the Adepts embracing themselves was a good thing for Kael to see. They practiced magic freely, Kael even ended up in front of an Adept Sect Training Grounds. Reading the sign.

'Path of the Lotus, Training Ground.' Kael vaguely remembers what Path of the Lotus was, a swordsmanship technique that used the Jian, which is a sword from the Eastern countries. The Sect was a fortress on its own, perhaps to discourage outsiders from coming in. Though Kael watched as the gates opened. An invitation of sorts as Kael went inside. Seeing the students in white uniforms practicing with their blades.

They turned to watch Kael who walked in with the Victorian Tailcoat, tying his white hair into a tail. It seems his hair grew far too quick and he only noticed when his sensors were not going through an overload. Stepping through the gates of the Sect had calmed his senses. It must be due to the fact that Matello and Allensphere did not have as many Adepts nad mana was not as abundant.

Kael was a foreigner as he walked the path of stone towards the main building. It was as if something was calling him.Something was luring him here, three more figures stepped in front of Kael. They readied their blades, shouting words yet Kael did not hear them as he continued moving forward. They moved towards him yet to Kael, his senses were going through something. His ears had gone deaf and his vision was blurring. Only thing he could rely on was sensing the figures before him. They were covered in mana, Kael drew his blade to stop the trio's attack. Breaking their blades in the process, seems as if Scarlet Vow understood his intentions. Kael moved into the building, his vision cleared up and all he could see was an indigo Yanlingdao or 'Goose Quill Saber' before him. There were figures that got up to stop him.

"Baihua!" Baihua was in her cheongsam, slashing the figures away. Not killing them, and Kael grabbed the indigo Yanlingdao.

"Xuehua." Kael drew the blade, immediately his vision was cleared. His senses were now back to normal. He let go of the blade as it formed as a man wearing a blue-ish hanfu. Tying his hair with a chopstick.

"Eldest brother!" Baihua jumped to hug her brother that ended up falling.

"Meimei. Good to see you. I just woke up, why did you pounce on me like that." Xuehua said as he stroked his sister's head. Then looking at Kael.

"Xuehua... I remember your outfits being a bit more bloodier, why did they turn blue?" Xuehua chuckled to Kael's question.

"I suppose this must be different. You did see me stained my clothes with red." Xuehua said as he got up, his sister still clinging on to him. It was clear to see Baihua was attached to her elder brother.

"Ah... Now I remember this place. This was where the Lotus Blade's School is..."Xuehua looked at the other swordsmen that were lying on the ground, groaning in pain.

"I had a rought time you know. You were making my senses lose their mind. I nearly killed these people because I thought they were hostile." Kael said where Xuehua chuckled.

"Well, it is to prevent outsiders from taking me unless they are worthy. Even if they did take me it still meant that they are not worthy to wield me." Xuehua said, stretching his limbs while Baihua clung on him like a koala. Kael stepped out to see more the uniformed students wielding their blades against him.

"Outsider! You have tresspassed and attacked the Lotus Blade School! Prepare to die!" They leaped at Kael. Kael just shut the door on them. Watching the blades pierce the walls, then turning to Xuehua. Who pointed to the koala clung on his back.

"Baihua?"

"NO! I've just been able to see Gege!" Baihua spoke up as she pouted.

"Hey, I need to help your master." Baihua gave in as Xuehua walked out of the door.

"You look just like the Lotus Blade!" Xuehua then turned to the painting on the right. Face palming himself, perhaps there was something that he did not tell.

"What's wrong?" Kael asked.

"My idiot of a master decided to have an image of me painted instead of hers. Urgh she just wants to leave me with all the work." Xuehua was grumpy, just as Kael remembered. Baihua was hard working while her brother, Xuehua was mainly a lazy sword but when in use. Xuehua was a force to be reckoned with but Xuehua is just lazy.

"I am not the Lotus Blade... Wait, why are there no women here?" Xuehua asked, genuinely surprised to see mainly men that were practicing the swords.

"The Path of the Lotus has been said to be a led by a man is it not?" Xuehua turned to Kael, passing a bat to him.

"Please hit me in the head as hard as you can." Kael looked at Xuehua with confusion.

"Wait. You're not serious right?"

"Just do it. I need to make sure that I'm not drunk." Kael did as he was asked. A mighty swing that broke the bat.

"The Path of the Lotus is mainly oriented towards women you fools! The Path of the Azalea is meant for the men. AGH!" Xuehua screamed as he ran straight out of the gates. Kael could hear another set of screams from where Xuehua was, Kael followed Xuehua. Hearing him scream again.

"This is all wrong!? Why are the women in Path of Azalea!? What is this!? This is wrong!" Xuehua walked over to look at the portrait, it was the portrait of a woman.

"That is my twin brother. Yueliang Hua! Where is he?!" Xuehua broke through the gates of the main building. Kael followed from behind, seeing Xuehua grabbing the other blade. A pure white blade that was similar to Xuehua but was struggling to open it.

"Xuehua." Xuehua turned to Kael, passing the blade to Kael who unsheathed it easily.

"Yueliang hua." The blade appeared as an androgynous figure wearing a white hanfu. Hair that covered the bangs, Yueliang Hua stretched his neck. Baihua went over to hug Yueliang Hua who embraced his younger sister happily, even swinging her around with his arms.

Yueliang Hua then put his younger sister down, then looking at the women inside the building.

"Wait... This is Path of Azelia. Why are there women here?" Yueliang Hua turned to Xuehua who shrugged. The same shouting reaction was heard as Yueliang Hua pierced his head through the door. By pierce, literally just broke through a chunk of the door with his head.

Baihua pulled Yueliang Hua out of the door, then pushing him out to see the women that were practicing outside.

"She's just like the founder!"

"EXCUSE YOU, SISTER! I AM A HE!" Yueliang hua shouted at a disciple then looking at the women. Then turning to Xuehua. Then they both stood in front of each other.

"Maybe if we headbutt each other enough the world will change."

"I agree. Then let us do it brother." They both proceeded to head butt each other as hard and as fast as they could.

Kael looked at Baihua. Who was laughing at her brothers antics.

"Remind me again. That these two are the Lotus blade and the Moon Flower Blade. The Lotus that was used to kill Demons and the Moon Flower that was used to slash through the angels." Kael said, looking at Baihua who just shrugged to Kael.

"They're my brothers. Besides they don't have their master. Too much time has passed. Aren't you glad that I'm not like that?" Baihua asked, leaning over to Kael's shoulder.

"Aside from being an overaffectionate little sister and you don't react so weirdly like they do. So I think we are fine." Kael said.

"Go spend time with your brothers. I'll go look for an inn." Kael said.
