《The Summoner》Chapter 10: King of all Kings
Advertisement
It took us two weeks to travel to Moon City. When we notified the King that we were going to to Moon City he began preparing a contingent of bodyguards and high ranking nobles but we profusely refuse. After an hour of debate, we finally agreed to just 10 knights as our escorts.
The travel was very pleasant. It was nice being able to see all the mountains, lakes, and rivers. Sadly, in our world almost all the scenes like this were now gone. When Hyun and I explained it to Dal Rin she couldn't believe that there was almost nothing left of mother nature and all that remained were our steel buildings and roads.
When we arrived at the forest of Rivenshire, there was a group of elves awaiting us. There was about a total of 30.
The elves all had long blonde hair that reached all the way to their backs. Their armors were all polished and sharp looking. They all also wore a full helmet with the face part open except for a thin portion protecting their nose. They all carried a weapon that had a blade on each end and a great bow strapped to their back. The overall appearance was very similar to a movie I watched back on earth about midgets taking a ring to a mountain to destroy it.
While contemplating on this irony, who I assume to be the commander steps forward and greets us.
"Welcome to the Kingdom of Rivenshire, hero nim and his party. Princess Dal Rin, it is good to see you again your highness. The king has asked me to escort you all to the capital. If you do not mind, please follow us"
After his greeting, we take off. I'm glad that we weren't a army invading the elven kingdom because if we were, we would have already gotten lost 15 times. Everything in the forest looked exactly the same. The path we took was very discreetly hidden that if you didn't know there was one and didn't know the signs to look for, you would never find it. After traveling for what seemed forever, we finally see Moon City.
The view was breathtaking. As you would guess, all the buildings were built in harmony with the surrounding nature. The atmosphere here was very soothing and I could feel ancient mana that seems to have existed for millenials here. Hyun Jin also let out a sigh of admiration as he looked at the city while we walked through it. The citizens looked at us while we passed with interest. The children ran up to us to get a better look as they hadn't seen many humans before.
After a short walk, the palace comes into view. The palace was very impressive to look at. The walls were made in conjuction with the surrounding trees, making it look very natural instead of being made. The palace also seemed to be in harmony with the environment, making it feel as if it belonged there. The main portion of the palace seemed to have been built around the large tree in the middle. I could feel that it was a very ancient tree that spread mana to the surrounding. So this was where the mana I felt in the city came from. Even though this palace wasn't built with fancy stones or tall like the Imperial Palace in Goryeo it had its own feeling of elegance and royalty.

By the time we reached the gates, it had become night already. In front of the gate was an elderly looking elf. When Dal Rin saw the elf, she immediately dashed toward him.
"Uncle!!"
"Ho Ho Ho if it isn't my cute niece. I was worried since you had been out for so long and after the incident in Roswell but I'm relieved after seeing you so healthy. Oh pardon me, hero. Since I haven't seen my niece in so long I got carried away"
"No its no problem elder"
"Thank you for your consideration. My name is Eldin. I am the prime minister for our Kingdom. The king has asked me to come greet you all and ask for his forgiveness for not being here. A very urgent incident occurred and he had to be there for it. He has asked me to show you all to your quarters and rest. Tomorrow he would like it greatly if he could have lunch with you and your friend"
"Lee Hyun, what ya think?"
"Sure why not"
"I understand elder. Please inform his majesty that we would be honored"
"Thank you, hero. I will arrange for a servant to guide the both of you to the dining hall tomorrow at noon then. Until then, please rest and enjoy your stay here"
The prime minister then guided us to our rooms. When I get to my room I drop my bag into the corner and plop onto my bed. Mmmm... it's so comfortable. While having such a pleasant feeling, I pass into sleep.
The next morning, when I open my eyes, I see a set of nice looking elven clothes on the chair and a basin on the table. I slowly get out of my bed with drowsy eyes and go over to clean and wake myself up while washing my face. I then put on the clothes that were put out for me. About 10 minutes after having finished changing like promised a elf came and escorted me.
Inside the dinning hall was a very large table that seemed way too big for the 7 seats there. Hyun Jin was already seated in the chair located closest to the edge on the right, most likely closest to the king. I walk over and sit in the seat beside him and we have a light talk. After a few minutes, the rest of the party arrived. The first to enter was the elderly elf and Dal Rin. Dal Rin right now was all decked out in princess clothing, which was devastating. She has a white dress on that leaves the shoulders bare and the dress reaches down to her ankle. She has light makeup that supplements her face perfectly. I basically just stare at her as she was the most beautiful thing I had even seen.
*Baam*
"....is there a reason you hit my head, Hyun Jin?"
"Was trying to bring you back to reality"
"There should have been more peaceful alternatives..."
"....Truthfully I just felt like hitting you seeing that stupid face..."
"..."
While we were having our own conversation, finally the king and the queen arrived. The queen was a very pretty lady. She had long green hair that reached the bottom of her back and had a nice figure. Instead of saying that she was Dal Rin's mother, I would be more inclined to say she looked more like her older sister. I could understand where she got her looks from.

The king himself was no pushover. He had a regal type of face with a body that seemed like he trained daily still. Unlike his wife, he seemed a little more aged but it gave off the feeling of a wise and noble person.
"Gentlemen, I greatly appreciate you coming to the Kingdom of Rivenshire on the selfish whim of mine"
"It is an honor to have been invited to this beautiful kingdom, my lord"
"Ho, even though you are not from this world, you have excellent manners hero! Well, let's leave the chat for later and first eat"
After the end of the king's last sentence, servants appeared carrying several types of dishes. Dishes upon dishes of vegetables and soups were laid out. Even though elves weren't fond of meat they brought out dishes of duck and doe for us two. The food was simply amazing. Even though I didn't like vegetables much the ones brought out were sprinkled with some foreign sauce which were delicious.
During the meal we had light conversations with the king and queen asking how we were adjusting to this world. After about 30 minutes we had finished eating and the dishes were taken away. The king then faced toward the hero and began speaking about the reason he had invited us.
"Hero, actually the reason I asked for you to come all the way here was to evaluate a talented young child we have. We have set up an exhibition where yoy can see her talents. If you find her worthy, I wish to ask you to let her join your party so that she could assist you in your noble cause"
While her father was speaking, Dal Rin had a confused look upon her. Apparently she had never heard of such a talented individual among her people which was very strange indeed. As for why I was looking at her... I don't really have to state the reason right?
Anyways, the king continued on.
"The exhibition will be an hour from now. We have actually captured a Draconian to serve as her opponent"
Dal Rin, Hyun Jin, and I opened our eyes in surprise. Draconians. They were cousins of the dragons in this world. They were ground creatures that didnt have wings like their cousins but dont let that fool you. Even though they weren't as strong, their strength still equaled that of a greater demon.
After the conversation we headed toward the arena that had been built for this occasion. While on our way, I make my way to beside Dal Rin and ask her some questions.
"Hey, are there really anybody that is that strong among your people? I was under the impression that there were only a few people throughout the history of your world that had that much strength...."
"I'm suprised too.... I never heard of someone that strong... If there is such a strong individual they should be the head of our military and a distinguished member of our kingdom...."
While Dal Rin answered my question with a difficult expression, we arrived at the arena. The arena was surrounded by the elite royal guards to ensure no accidents happen and just in case of an emergency. We were taken to a small area that had comfortable seats placed in. After we take our seats the king signals toward the captain, who opened the gate.
The Draconian appeared from the entrance with a company of guards surrounding it. At the moment there was a piece of cloth that was covering it's eyes and some type of device that covered it's mouth. On the other side, a small girl in a cloak that covered her face and body appeared. Eh?? Why does that back look so familiar...
On the king's command, the guards removed the cloth and device from the Draconian's head. It sees the little girl and charges at her. The girl just calmly stays in her position without moving. Fearing that she might have frozen in fear, Hyun Jin and I prepare to go save her when she begins speaking an incantation.
"Oh lord of the forest, an enemy has appeared that seeks to destroy what thee loves. Appear and ward me from evil, Arion!"
The space in front of the girl distorts and slowly a horse appeared. This, however, was not your ordinary horse. It had a pure white mane that seemed to radiate with purity. Most importantly, there was a single horn on it's head. It was a unicorn.
"Ehh?!?! Isn't she a summoner just like from your world Lee Hyun?!?!"
Dal Rin opened her eyes in shock and asked me a question with a panicked voice. However, none of that caught my attention. I was focusing solely on the little girl. That voice just now.... no it couldn't be.... there's no way... anyways she never had a summon like that... she only has an gumiho named Sulli..... ya that's right there's no way that girl is her...
While trying to deceive myself, I turn around toward Hyun Jin to see if he noticed. He currently had a pale face while looking intently at the girl also. He definitely was probably going through the same thought process as I did just now, except for her summon part.
While this was occuring in the booth, the battle was going poorly for Arion. Even though he was a mythical unicorn, it seemed as though it was still young. Compared to the other unicorns I had encountered, it was much smaller, as if it was still a child. Anyways, it's power was nowhere as strong as a adult unicorn and it was losing.
The Draconian, feeling victory was near, lashed out its tail and hit Arion, sending him flying to the wall. It then headed toward the little girl. The girl panicked and tried to cast some spells but due to her unstable mind, wasn't able to properly cast one. The Draconian reached the girl and sent her flying with the impact of it's body.
As the girl was flying through the air, the hood finally started to fall off. The royalty in the booth had started to panic, but I just focused my attention on her. Silver hair started to show from the cowl. Hyun Jin and I froze before we both started at the same time.
""JI HYUN AH!!!!"
Hyun Jin jumped out the booth and ran after Ji Hyun to catch her before she fell. Feeling anger at the Draconian that had injured my dear sister, but even more at myself for not noticing right away it was her, I began a summoning.
"Oh King of all Kings!! The world has fallen to evil! Break through this darkness with your holy sword!! Once again become the bane of all Dragons and save the people!! ARTHUR PENDRAGON!!"

The Foretold: Sun Child (Complete)
As a sixteen year old commoner, your future is bleak. Worse, your appearance sets you apart from others. Your only achievement so far, is befriending the second son of the Lord of the Keep. He has been your only friend for eleven years, initially partner in mischief and later your hunting companion and confidant. Now your friendship is being torn asunder, he has turned eighteen and is being sent away to become a Judge Knight Aspirant. What is to become of you? Before your friend leaves, there is murder and conspiracy! Magic left the land hundreds of years ago, all you have is your bow and hunting skills, nevertheless you must fight to survive and save another to have any hope of a future! Note: The graphic isn't mine; it is a re-imagining of a few separate images, any objections by original artists let me know. N.B. If you are looking for Sexual Content every chapter, or every second, third or fourth chapter this isn't the story for you - the Sexual Content is required for a plot device, not a way of life and the later chapters reflect that - please stop dropping Low Ratings when you feel I haven't met your idea of "fan service". This is finished as much as a multi book vision can be finished. At 750,000 words give or take and very little readership I can only blame myself. I have learnt a lot, possibly forgotten a lot as well! I will probably return to the Chapters at some point - a touch up here and a touch up there. The second book though will probably remain in my head for a very long time, so yes "cliffs" although I hope the characters and their motivations are developed enough that you can have a good guess at the content of Book Two and tell me so I can confirm or deny! This isn't a LITRPG where classes are developed, great foes are defeated by a hero of immense power. This is a story based within (I hope) a very real and consistent culture, that leaves breadcrumbs for the reader to work out what the heck is happening and why. This is a slow burn story as the MC is stumbling around discovering her new place and role. Author's Note (Apr 2021): I dropped the Fantasy Genre for the Mystery Genre, because while the setting mentions magic, is it about past glories and trying to return to them. Whereas the MC from Chapter One doesn't understand her predicament and the range of mysteries she must solve to survive. If I have this wrong PM me and I will change this back.
