Chapter 233 Sia’s Journey & Fate Meets Once Again (Final) [Bonus]
When Sia exited the tent she whistled for her Dawnbreaker and it appeared in front of her, she effortlessly mounted it.
That’s when she noticed Archer walking out of the tent, a thought came to Sia’s mind as a big smile on her face. ‘He will be so handsome when he’s older. I can’t wait.’
Archer approached Sia, looking up at her with a grateful expression. She leaned down and gently lifted him up putting him in front of her.
She placed him in front of her and made sure he was comfortable, her second in command Valeria approached on her Dawnbraker. ”Commander we are ready to set out.”
Sia looked at the woman and nodded her head as they started making their way to the road after putting her tent into her storage ring.
After a short journey, they finally arrived at Riversong City. Sia immediately attended her important meetings, and afterward, she made sure to spend every possible moment with Archer.
They cherished their time together in the beautiful city, making memories that would last a lifetime.
When she was in a meeting she would leave him in the library and would find him sitting in the same place with a pile of books when she returned.
As Sia and her Dawnbreakers started their return trip to Vassia City, their journey took them across a sturdy stone bridge that spanned a wide river.
The sound of rushing water filled the air, and the soldiers’ spirits were high after a successful mission.
However, as they were about to reach the other side of the bridge, a loud splash echoed beneath them, and the river waters churned violently.
A massive behemoth, with glistening scales and razor-sharp teeth, leaped from the depths, aiming to devour the soldiers at the back of the line.
Sia wrapped her arm around Archer as they watched the beast vanish into the river.
Valeria rushed up to her and spoke, “Reports say that they have been more lively lately. A few caravans have been attacked by them.”
She looked at her vice commander and nodded. They continued on with their journey, and Archer’s nights were filled with cuddles and Sia’s massive cushions.
They soon arrived back at Vassia City but received an order to deploy to the west due to a standoff with another kingdom.
When she heard this, she was upset, but it couldn’t be helped, so she pampered Archer even more than before and took him on many dates.
The two of them were sitting in a cafe as she bought him some tea and looked at him as she spoke. “Arch, I have to go to the Evermist Duchy. I won’t be back for a while.”
Upon hearing her words, Archer’s heart sank, and he couldn’t hide his disappointment. He looked down at the teacup, trying to hide his emotions as he nodded in response.
Sia noticed his reaction and saw the genuine hurt in his eyes, which tugged at her heartstrings.
Unable to bear seeing him upset, she leaned forward and wrapped her arms around him in a warm, comforting hug.
She wanted him to know that she cared deeply for him too, even though circumstances were pulling them apart at the moment.
She dragged him onto her lap and started playing with his hair as she spoke. “I will always come back to see you, Arch. It’s just the General of my legion who ordered us to go; otherwise, I would never leave you.”
When he heard this, he looked up and saw her bright blue eyes staring into his with a big smile as she continued, “After all, you’re my future husband, and I’d never forget about you.”
Archer smiled when he heard her and hugged her back. That’s when Valeria entered the cafe and spoke, “Commander, it’s time.”
Sia nodded her head and started speaking again. “Arch, I’ll take you back to the castle now. I have to leave.”
He nodded his head and let go of her. They made their way back to his home, and as they reached the gate of the castle.
Sia smiled down at him and leaned forward to plant a kiss on the boy’s forehead, causing his face to turn red, but a small smile appeared on his face.
She said goodbye and made her way to the Dawnbreaker Legion’s Mistwood headquarters. Sia turned around and saw Archer standing there waving at her.
He then turned around and walked into the castle, Sia didn’t want to let him return home but she couldn’t do much at the moment as she would be on a battlefield.
Sia started speeding up and soon reached the headquarters and was deployed to the east. Years passed by and she never made it back to Mistwood. 𝑖𝘦𝑎.𝗇t
Archer missed her every single day, but when the incident happened and he received Tiamat’s gift, he forgot his past memories until they came back that day.
[Northern Mediterra – 20 miles from Larissa City – In the not-so-distant future]
Talila rode on her horse along a quiet road, keeping pace with the merchant’s carriage. She looked around, admiring the breathtaking landscape as they rode.
Traveling along a cliffside road that bordered the Phantom Sea and a beautiful grassland with the Nocturna Forest in the distance.
The group listened attentively as the Medi guides shared the names and stories of the land. 𝘪𝑎.𝒸𝘰
To the west, the forest extended as far as the eye could see, its emerald canopy intermingling with the cerulean sky.
Ancient trees with twisting branches and lush foliage stood tall, seemingly guarding the secrets hidden within their wooded sanctuary.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled patterns on the forest floor, creating a mesmerizing play of light and shadow.
As they ventured further into the woodland, a symphony of creatures’ calls filled the air, adding to the enchanting ambiance.
Birds of vibrant plumage flitted between branches, while playful squirrels darted along the forest floor.
The gentle rustling of leaves and the soft murmur of a nearby stream completed this symphony of nature.
To the east, the landscape transformed dramatically as it met the untamed Phantom Sea, and the waves hit the bottom of the cliff.
The coastline was a dance of contrasts, with jagged cliffs rising proudly from the foamy waves, their rugged faces weathered by centuries of wind and water.
Spray from the rough sea mingled with the scent of saltwater, creating a tingling freshness in the air.
In the coves and hidden alcoves along the shoreline, seashells and colorful pebbles adorned the sand like precious jewels.
Delicate wildflowers peeked out from the crevices, adding splashes of color to the coastal canvas.
Talila shook her head as she heard the mage of the group speak; the forest went quiet, and the wildlife ceased making noises.
“Something’s coming from the forest; the beasts have stopped making noises,” Novius addressed the group while scanning the surroundings.
The caravan came to a halt, and all the guards readied themselves, forming a defensive line in front of the carriages.
Talila readied her mana arrows, and her fellow adventurers followed suit. Suddenly, Ratlings sprang from the forest, rushing toward the caravan.
The Sparrows were shocked; they had never seen creatures like these before. Rat Orges joined the fray, rushing from behind, prompting Talila, Novius, and every other ranged attacker to unleash their attacks.
Before the creatures could crash into the guards and adventurers, a large group of Hippogriffs appeared, each carrying a Moon elf rider.
The commander raised his weapon and shouted, “For Lunaris! For Princess Hecate! and the White Prince! Run them down!”
The riders charged forward, their lances impaling numerous creatures while the Hippogriffs kicked away any Ratlings that got too close.
Talila and the caravan guards watched in wonder as the 200-strong riders swiftly dealt with the strange creatures within minutes.
Suddenly, they saw a red dragon flying toward them, roaring as fearsome-looking giants emerged from the forest.
Horror-stricken, everyone from the caravan witnessed thousands of creatures charging at them.
Cecelia, Feyra, and Darius approached Talila as she observed the dragon slamming into a smaller giant and tearing at it.
Its claws tore into the giant’s body as the dragon bit its neck and started shaking its head.
The Hippogriff riders backed off, allowing the large Stone Men to charge into the battle and swarm the creatures.
Then, an Earth-shattering roar echoed through the air as a large white dragon appeared out of nowhere, unleashing a stream of violet-colored fire upon the forest where the creatures had emerged.
Talila kept firing her mana arrows, raining down death upon the rat-like humans and tall grey humans.
But the caravan guards and adventurers stopped attacking as the white dragon tore into the creatures and wiped out hundreds of them with its tail and claws.
That’s when Talila spotted some creatures in what looked to be mage robes casting spells at the dragon.
As their spells flew towards it they just vanished like they never existed which baffled everyone.
The creatures, even those who cast the spells, were baffled. Suddenly, several arrows hit them in the head, causing them to crumble.
Talila glanced over to spot a group of girls standing on top of a massive wyvern, led by a blue-haired girl.
The creatures were swiftly dealt with, and the dragon sniffed the air, turning towards Talila’s direction.
She noticed its violet eyes locking onto her, and for some strange reason, it gave her a familiar feeling.
