Chapter 3: Chapter 3 - Sigur
Luan looked around the area, people everywhere talking and shopping, until he saw a somewhat busy restaurant. Assuming it's got to be good if there's a lot of people, he went and stood in line. After five minutes of waiting, it was finally his turn. He followed the woman to a two-person table and looked over the menu with Aon sleeping in his lap. Suddenly a figure sits down in the chair opposite of him. Thinking nothing of it, Luan continues to look over the menu. The figure across from him goes to reach out and touch him, but right when he was almost close enough, Neil used shadow magic to appear behind them, short sword against the figure's neck. Startling everyone around them and the man.
Looking up, Luan saw a pretty young man with long purple hair and green eyes, with an equally pretty soul spirit on his shoulder. Hands in the air, the man spoke, "I didn't mean to startle you, I just wanted to ask if it's okay if I sit with you. It's pretty busy and you don't seem to be waiting for anyone."
With a wave of his hand, Luan called Neil back to his shoulder, and then nods at the man. "We're not used to a lot of people, if someone comes too close we consider it a threat."
"My name is Sigur, and this is Amai my soul spirit, let's be friends then? What other way to meet than to almost die over a misunderstanding?" Sigur laughed, Luan finally showing a small smile on his face before it became indifferent again.
"Mm. My name is Luan. The one who almost cut you is Neil. The other on my shoulder is Reil, and the one in my lap is Aon. They're my soul spirits and contract beast."
"You have two soul spirits? You look so young to already be in the second stage." Visible shock appeared on Sigur and Amai's faces. Seeing that there was another misunderstanding, Luan explained. "Due to certain reasons, I have two soul spirits in the first stage. I am only a low-level Expert Spirit Realm soul cultivator."
Soul cultivators can be separated into two phases, and then broken down into four different ranks in each phase. The first phase is called the Origin Spirit Realm, which is broken down into Origin – Profound – Master – Expert. The second phase is called the Heavenly Spirit Realm, which is broken down into Heaven – King – Emperor – Saint. With each rank up, your life force also increases, from the first stage, it adds 20, 40, 60, 80. Then once you enter the second stage, 100, 200, 300, and then 600 years onto your life.
Sigur stared at Luan for a couple seconds before deciding to conversation after realizing it's not his position to know any more.
"You are at the Expert realm?! You look to be around my age."
Luan hands the menu over to Sigur, ignoring what he's just said. "Pick what you want, I'll pay. To friendship and to apologize for the misunderstanding. And I am 16."
"16?! Ah. Then you're a year younger than me, I am 17. I'll pay for the next one then. Do you have a communication device? Let's exchange.��
After exchanging, a waitress came over and took their orders.
They all talked for half an hour until the waitress came out with their food. Although they've just met, they felt amazingly comfortable with one another, like brothers. Luan hasn't spoken to anyone besides the fenrir's in the forest or the people who came to hurt the fenrir's, so he's happy to have made a friend. After eating, Luan paid for the meal, they all exited the restaurant.
"Sig, can you tell me the way to the flying transportation beasts?" Luan looked over at Sigur who was rubbing his face against Aon's fur. Sigur began leading the way.
"I'll walk you there, where are you flying to?"
"Azmarl. My father is there waiting for me."
"Oh. I'm also going there, but not for another few days. I'll send you a voice call when I'm there so we can meet up."
After a short walk, they arrived at the flying transportation beasts. Giant snow-white birds with a wingspan of over 50 ft when they're extended out and a length of over 100 feet, on its back is a large brown box which contains over 100 seats for passengers.
After saying their goodbyes and getting Ano back from Sigur, Luan stood in line to pay for a seat. The birds leave every hour, so he happened to come at just the right time. After five minutes, Luan stepped up to pay until he was suddenly pushed out of the way.
"Watch out you peasant, I want a seat." Looking over, Luan saw a heavy-set boy, with two men behind him, close to his age acting condescendingly towards him.
But before Luan could speak, Reil glared at the boy, "Apologize."
The boy began to laugh, "Who do you think you are? You cannot make me apologize. While you're at it, give me that wolf in your hands, I can add him to my collection." The boy waved to one of the men behind him, as if telling him to take Aon from the Luan.
Aon growled, about to release his aura. Luan stopped hiding his expert realm aura, pressing it down on the boy and the man. Neil appeared behind the other man, blade against his neck, that was with the boy.
"Don't expect me to keep being kind to someone who doesn't know their own place. Bother me again, and I will kill you." Luan glared the three men down, before hiding his aura again and turning to the woman.
"I'd like to go to Azmarl."
The woman and everyone watching came back to their senses, fear apparent in their eyes while looking at Luan.
"Y-yes, that will be 2 gold."
Luan passed the woman 2 gold from his space ring and then got onto the bird. Finding a seat in the back, he put Aon on his lap and proceeded to pet him, calming him down. Neil and Reil both laid on top of Aon. All waiting for take off and to finally arrive in Azmarl.
