Emperor's Reckoning

The last howl was the indication of Vhishap Kingdom's downfall. The Phantera Kingdom took over the kingdom not as a vessel but as one. The Vishap Kingdom's citizen was spared by Anskar as they had nothing to do with the incident regarding his wife.

One more legend was added to Lyon's tale. The brave young man who defeated a wyvern with a single magic spell ending the Vishap Kingdom.

It's been two days since the incident happened and Anskar still recuperating on his bed to regain his strength while Argeon was forced to look at the report of his academy Luna.

Inside one of the rooms in the castle is a special chamber with only a single item. A casket made entirely of Ice. Inside it lay a beautiful woman, the spitting image of Phantera's Princess. but more mature and ripe. She had a pale complexion compared to Luna's but nonetheless, she was still the Queen of Phantera, Leyna Senth.

Kneeling before it was Luna with a peaceful look on her face. So many memories were surging in her heart. The moment when she was crying her mother would be the first one to embrace her. Now she was an adult herself, able to make a decision and taking risks. How much time fly no one would know.

"Wow, she is beautiful." a familiar voice entered Luna's ear which made her woke up from her reminisce.

"Yes of course she is, she is my mother," said Luna while wiping a hint of tears on the corner of her right eye.

.

.

.

The both of them looked at each other in silence.

"So." The both of them said at the same time.

"You first." the both of them once again said at the same time.

.

.

.

"Hahaha," chuckled the both of them

"Well, I guess the contract was fulfilled then," said Lyon while rubbing his head.

"Yeah... I guess so," said Luna with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

.

.

.

"Oh, by the way, I'm still curious about what you did to me in the bathroom, in the academy."

(OH shit! I'm not gonna explain that to you in front of your dead mother! How innocent can you be?!), thought Lyon as he tried to make a smile but failed each time.

"Well..?" asked Luna curiously with her eyes blinking and getting closer to Lyon each half-a-second.

"HMMM??" asked Luna, but Lyon didn't dare to face her.

*sigh

"I guess I have to ask father about this," sighed Luna.

"DON'T!" shouted Lyon, "Whatever you do, don't ever ask your father about this."

"Why?" asked Luna while her tight index finger touch her beautiful lips with a confused look.

"I-I-it's a man thing," said Lyon nervously.

.

.

*ehem

"I heard you have a brother?" asked Lyon.

"Hmm? No, I don't have one."

"Really? But I heard that one of Karina's pursuer is the son of your father."

"Oh, he is an adopted son of my father, but he is already dead."

"You're not sad at all?"

"No, He betrayed us once years ago and father personally killed him. He took advantage of our kindness and put a spear on our back."

*sigh

(This girl's life is so miserable), thought Lyon.

"Hmm??"

"What's wrong?" asked Luna.

"Your mother ... she still had her soul intact?" asked Lyon.

"Yes, this special ice casket could hold her soul inside."

Lyon then smiled at Luna increasing her confusion.

"Do you want to meet your mother?" asked Lyon.

.

..

....

"W-w-what did you say?" Luna became really nervous.

"I said, do you want to meet your mother?" asked Lyon while stroking Luna's hair.

"That's my boy!" the true dragon approved Lyon's action, "You might forget a lot of things, but seducing women is still your biggest forte. HAHAHA!"

"Shut it, you still owe me a huge load of explanation after this."

"D-do you mean it?" asked Luna with a face full of hope.

"Yes I can, however, her cultivation level will reduce to zero, meaning she had to train all over again to regain her peak."

"YES, YES it's fine as long I could embrace her again! Please, Lyon, do it!" said Luna with tears already wetting her face.

*hug free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎

Lyon embraced Luna softly to calm her down. He stroked her hair slowly and put his chin on top of her head. "Calm down, you don't want to see your mother with tears on your face, right? You would look ugly and your mother might not recognise you hahaha."

Lyon slowly let go of his embrace, only to notice that his robe was dirty with tears stain.

"Step back."

*sfwooosshhh

*sfoooosshhh

A dense energy was coiling around Lyon's hand as his hair was fluttering.

------------------------------------

Inside one of the chamber was Kyoko, Riku, Ryona and Karina, while Jugen seemed to be in another room in the castle.

"Hmm?" Kyoko seemed to realize that there was movement from the surrounding energies. However, she could feel that they were gentle energies. (Someone is using a high levelled, support spell, is it him?)

*tap

*tap

"Ah where are you going overseer," asked Ryona.

"I want to check something out."

"I want to tag along," asked Ryona.

"Sure."

In the end, all three of the girls followed Kyoko.

------------------------------------

*creak

Kyoko and the rest finally made it to the chamber where Lyon was still concentrating.

"Wow, my hubby looks so cool <3" whispered Ryona.

"E-en.." Karina nodded slightly.

*tap

*tap

"Oh big sister what are you doing here?" said Jugen.

*bang

"Shh!"

(You don't have to hit me you know! God my head is swollen again!)

*tap

*tap

Argeon was happened to walk by and then he decided to join with the rest, observing Lyon.

*tap

*tap

In the end, more and more people came to watch, but they didn't know that it will take him a whole month to execute the spell.

"I should have asked their help absorbing the energy!" said Lyon to the true dragon.

"Yeah maybe, who cares anyway, with this you will gain more affection and respect!" nodded the true dragon.

"Luckily she still had her body intact, otherwise this would take dozens of years." sighed Lyon.

-----------------

One month later.

Lyon finally motions his finger and write the spell.

"Hmph!" Lyon opened his eyes, "Soul Spell, Soul Ressurection!"

*zing*zing*zing*zing*zing

*zing*zing*zing*zing*zing*zing*zing

*zing*zing*zing*zing*zing*zing*zing*zing*zing

*zing*zing*zing*zing*zing*zing*zing*zing*zing*zing

A numerous rainbow brand magic covered every inch of the ice casket.

*ZING

All the brand magic fused into one sphere. The brand magics were moving around the spell as it slowly entered Leyna's body.

"I'm hungry!"

*thud

Lyon passed out after he shouted.

*zing

Leyna's body glowed for a while before dimming down.

"Ng-Nggh", Leyna woke up from the ice casket while touching her head. "Aw, I had a really long dream."

"Mother!" Luna screamed at the top of her lung and run toward her mother's embrace.
