As he spoke up to here, he lifted his head and sighed.
Kefalas hearing his last words began to feel uneasy, not bothering to ask too much about the human he asked about the more pressing matter, “What do you mean had the guts? What happened to the Aqua Pearl?!”
“Sigh. The male human was not alone, there was a human female, or rather, a female which I believe to be Dragonborn. She was critically injured and used her remaining source energies to deal me an unexpectedly heavy blow as I had been distracted by the red-haired human brat... because of this... the pearl... I mean the aqua...”
Kefalas hearing his words didn’t bother to listen to the end, his figure faded away as he his body once more reformed into the destroyed central palace room. There, he saw the empty water sphere missing the powering aqua pearl used to enforce the treasures and secrets of the palace.
“Nooooooooooo!” Kefalas roar could be heard even the vast distance, as the mountains shook, and thunder rumbled. After a long while, he walked from inside of the central building and looked towards the elders in rage as he spoke.
“Where are they?! Where did the human and the dragon go?!” He yelled as his eyes gleamed in a murderous light.
The elders hearing his words trembled as the supreme elder shook his head and spoke once more, “They are gone they escaped with the fairy princess and Zyne of the Bright Hammer. They and all of the prisoners from the bottom-most floors have escaped with the fairy clan by using the Aqua Transference Spell.”
“Ruined... everything is ruineeed!!” Kefalas yelled hysterically. His already red eyes grew redder as he glared as the elder and spoke, “If I have to go down... I will take those humans and all those fairies with me to hell!”
The elders feeling his determination became solemn as they know full well what will happen when Kefalas is angry, the beautifully seductive looking woman who remained silent this entire time finally spoke at this moment with a puzzling look in her eyes.
“You said that woman with the human was a dragon right... did she had white hair?”
The supreme elder hearing Titana's words thought back for a bit before responding, “Yes, at first I’d mistaken her for a white-haired human girl, but she was white-haired Dragonborn...”
“Hmm... so it was her... these wretched ones actually bonded together. I will certainly let both of them pay...” Titana thought to herself as a murderous look came into her eyes, her abundant chest bouncing up and down enticingly as she hyperventilated causing the small artifacts that covered them to shake as if they were about to fall off, a few of the elders and distant fiend guards seemed distracted as they glanced at them a bit.
She looked at Kefalas with a serious look as she proposed, “Say, Kefalas, why do we not form a temporary alliance? You hate those two, I also have a grudge against that girl and more importantly that human brat, an alliance between our two Nymph Kind will make searching for them easier. Your troops scouring the ground as mind cover the skies...”
Hearing Titana’s words Kefalas finally came to his senses from his enraged state, he took a deep breath and looked towards Titana before speaking, “Fine...”
As he said this, he swept his vision across the Palace Command Elders and the Dark Supreme Elder then he looked at the gathered fiend guards and spoke in a loud voice, “As of today, we will ally with the queen of the Gloomy Forest! All troops prepare for a Level 1 Hunting Command. We must find and capture those humans while killing the escaped prisoners and those of the fairy clan!”
“Yes, Palace leader!” The guards replied in unison as they started to make preparations, seeing this the Elders and Dark Supreme Elder separated as they went to do their parts.
Kefalas seeing this turned his back to the troop and walked towards the Palace Command room once more, his figure vanishing behind the doors. Titana seeing this licked her lips and followed him, her eyes gleaming in a lustful light as she merely left a command with her troops.
The elders who noticed this frowned as one said, “This again...”
Another who heard responded, “Sigh... it’s for this very reason her brother banished her from the palace, she’s at it yet again...”
“Female Nymphs are very difficult to handle, they mate even more wantonly compared to what I used to hear of humans...” said another elder.
The Dark Supreme Elder seeing the elders get distracted snorted as he spoke, “Humph! Quit dawdling and get to work...” The elders quickly moving to their objectives as they heard his words, as he slowly went towards the armory.

It’s been two weeks since the prison escape at the Dark Palace.
The news had already spread across the vast land of the endless rain zone, with the smuggling of communication orbs information was the fastest thing that goes around in these desolate lands. A few hidden native hideout towns were currently engaged in deep conversations about these rumors of late, the main topic being speculations about the cause for the prisoner riot.
Within a well-hidden town that was far away from the central place, hidden within the deeps of some ancient forestry was a pub made of wood, a few natives sat around their counters as they spoke about recent happenings.
“Serves them right... it’s been high time the resistance finally managed to do something right!” A fierce looking fellow said, short but of a muscular kind at a glance, one could see that this was a Dwarfin. He chugged his fruit liquor down in large gulps as he yelled to those at the counter.
“Che! What do you know? I heard it was that human who caused those serious losses in the gloomy forest that had a part in this act.” Another fellow said he was of the mermen kind.
“Both of you don’t know what you're saying, this is the act of the Fairy Race! It’s been confirmed so many times during the past week so why not keep quiet!” Another fierce fellow said as he looked at the two from his table in a distant corner.
Bang! The obviously drunk Dwarfin hearing slammed the counter and got to his short feet as he walked towards the man and yelled, “I dare you to tell me that again!” His spit traveling as far as his words dropping into the man’s food, the man seeing this grew enraged.
Boom! He got to his feet and rushed towards the Dwarfin like lighting his eyes gleaming murderously as he ready to kill, however, right before he could do anything there was a change.
“Oh no! The enemies have discovered our hunting place!” One of the town flocks exclaimed as they saw a large group that quiet approaching the came from tall shrubberies. The town folks hearing this was sent into a panic.
“Not good! Not good! Contact the Fairy Clan, they are the closest of the resistance forces nearby!” A woman looking like a town chief gave brisk commands as the people surrounding her responded.
“Yes, town chief!” As they scattered away, but before they could exit the town another person spoke loudly in a confused tone of voice.
“Eh? I see fairies, odd why would fairies travel with those wearing fiend armor? Wait... could they be...?!” He exclaimed in shock, the surrounding people also widened their eyes in surprise.
The group that approached looked haggard as if they had shouldered the most arduous journeys, the divine like armies looking worn filled with grass and dirt as the leaders had a slightly tired look in their eyes.
Ahead of this group were three, or preferably, four individuals, one Dwarfin, one fairy, and one red-haired human who carried a human-like woman on his back. They slowly made their way towards the entrance of the town with steep steps as a smile hung cross their lips.
“Almost there...”

The Child of Heavenly Lightning?
It was a dark world, filled with towering walls that stretched out seemingly to infinity. A vast narrow passage whose depths remained unseen. Within this gorge was collection of colorful thunderbolts, each emanating a power so vast that it could shake the souls of any caught in their path.
Zap! One peculiar thunderbolt
streaked its way down from the upper limits of this gorge towards a small vessel that traveled on a wide stream at its base, heading towards its unknown depths. Two individuals sat together on this small boat, their gazes casually observing the environment in leisure despite the dangers of this scene.
Crackle! The lightning bolt upon descending from the rocky heavens directed its fury towards this vessel. However, the expected scene of utter devastation did not occur. Instead, what happened was an extremely odd phenomena, as regardless of the lightning’s furious might, it did not injure either of them.
Carefully looking, one would notice that the blue haired youth who sat calmly beside the pretty young female was sparkling with strands of electrical lights, almost as if he was a lightning rod that had devoured any nearby electricity.
The blue haired youth wore a large conical hat, with a black battle qigong robe made of fine material with blue lightning lines as decoration. His handsome and somewhat rogue-like face underneath his hat filled with a type of charm that most of the opposite sex would find hard to resist.
Even the adorable female not too far from his side had already fallen. Her big dark-colored eyes gleaming in a bright light while she gazed at his face with no shred of remorse or shyness. Her long dark-brown braided hair that was parted into two sides fell down her body onto the base of the wooden vessel, as her black shenyi robes with golden sleeves covered her slender and soft skin that seemed to be filled with the colorful vibrancy of youth.
Dai Lin feeling the heated gaze couldn’t help but make conversation, “What’s wrong something on my handsome face?” He said with a prideful look in his eyes, that sparked with an electrical light.
“Nope! Are you afraid of my gaze? Feeling shy, Mr. Blue Thunder?” Xin Qing asked with a teasing expression, as she smiled revealing a cute little dimple at the side of her mouth.
Dai Lin seeing this felt it even more cute, he decided to punish her boldness for a bit as he believed her to be shy as well and was only putting up an act. He reached out his index finger and poked her on her cheek right on the dimple causing a softly cute depression to form as he spoke, “If Miss Qing keeps staring at me like this, I may just lose my self-awareness, falling prey to the inner demons of man...”
As he said this, he couldn’t help but do a cheeky wink as his smile grew broader.
However, the expected reaction Dai Lin wanted did not come. Instead, he got more than what he could have possibly imagined.
“Really?” Xin Qing asked as an excited look came over her eyes, she leaped from the ground like ghostly shadow that instantly enclosed Dai Lin into a tight embrace, her soft and slender body pressing firmly against his causing a rising fire to boil within Dai Lin’s center of being.
She looked him in the eyes and spoke with eyes that seemed to have been filled with a layer of madness, the look one would see on those bold women who acted on impulse.
“Oh shit! She’s an Impulser Breed...” Dai Lin thought to himself in shock as he saw the look of wildness in Xin Qing’s eyes, dense layers of sweat rolling down his forehead to his cheeks then onto his chest.
Xin Qing seeing this felt an impulse as she bit his chin with her cute little mouth then licked the sweat off before, cutely wiping the remnants on her lips while looking into his eyes with a mesmerizing look and said, “Then Mr. BlueThunder, it is with great honor that I give you this imperial command. Please, do eat this princess up!”
Seeing the look in her eyes, Dai Lin knew he had bitten off more than he could chew this time as a full meal was literally on the plate before him. However, as he was uncertain about his surroundings and possible dangers, he couldn’t help but try to calm her down.
“Miss... Miss Qing, why don’t we wait a while? It’s... it’s still quite dangerous here and we don’t kno---” As Dai Lin was prepared to give a speech on why this wasn’t a good idea, his lip was soon covered by something moist, and his resolve was melted by a cherry flavored taste with softness that could take away any man’s soul.
Feeling this change, Dai Lin couldn’t help but close his eyes as the bold Xin Qing had stolen his pure lips, locking him into her arms. Their new battle raging on for quite a while, as the multi colored thunders streaked across this secluded narrow gorge bearing witness to this unusual scene.
After a long while, the two lips parted, and Xin Qing looked into the eyes of the still stunned Dai Lin with a teasing expression as she spoke, “Hehehe! You dummy, are you this dense? This princess stole your lips, and you’re there looking at me with a daze. Do I have to spell it out for you? Fine, I’ll... only say it once...”
As she said this, her seemingly bold face becoming tomato red as she lowered her head while her thoughts raced as fast as her beating heart, “What have I done? What have I done? No-no-no! I lost myself again...” She glanced upwards at the still dazed face of Dai Lin as she gripped her fist and found new resolution, “I’ve already done the first deed it cannot be taken back, humph! I will not let him run away with another woman!”
She once more looked boldly into his eyes, with firmly infatuated face as she spoke, “I’ve fallen in love you...”
Dai Lin hearing this felt a bomb go off in his head, his thoughts wandering back to early childhood as he thought back to old distant scene, one that occurred a long time ago.

Year unknown, location unknown…
It was a desolate place, one filled with nothingness as only the vast empty fields blanketed by a sea of clouds was in this area. There was a fierce storm currently in progress, with dense rainfall and harsh winds. The rumbling thunders of the heavens scaring those who lived in these desolate fields.
“Quickly find cover! This is not an average storm!” A wise elderly man said as he led a group of people towards a nearby cave that was converted into the safety shelter.
The scene outside was growing more chaotic by the minute. The group of individuals gathered together as they discussed the happenings outside.
“How did this happen? Why is the yearly storm so different this time around?” One of the villagers asked.
“My home is ruined... I don’t know if I’ll be able to survive once this is over...” A woman said while crying.
“Stop your crying woman! You’ll get by just fine; your husband is a practitioner, isn’t he? Have him build you a new one.” A fierce looking man said.
As the people conversed the wise elderly man who was gazing at the chaos outside finally spoke, a gleam of bright wisdom was shining in his eyes as he looked at the storm clouds, “There’s something unusual about these clouds...”
A follower of the wise elderly man who was not too far away couldn’t help but ask in confusion as he heard the man’s words, “Elder, what kind of unusualness?”
The villagers who heard his words quieted down as they focused their attention towards elderly man, the elder remained silent for a while as he inspected the strangeness of the clouds noticing the odd lightning that flashed every now and then.
As he saw this, he finally spoke once more, “The thunders are different, rather than destroy I’d say this storm is acting almost as if it’s trying to welcome something. They dance around those odd clouds as if in celebration rather than fury...”
“Huh?!” The individuals said in unison, as they looked at the violent and devastating scene outside with the rumbling thunderbolts that wreaked havoc to all things, or rather, so it seemed from their point of view.
“You seem to be getting crazier and crazier by the passing of age, old man...” One of the more outspoken villagers said.
“Hahaha! Look at the scene before you, it’s a disaster, my house, my crops, everything is gone! You have the time to look at the scene and say it’s a celebration? Old man shut your mouth!” A man said in a hysterical fashion as he jumped to his feet ready to take on the old man.
“Stop it! He’s only an elder, leave him be...” A female said as she tapped his shoulders, causing the man to sit down. This f
emale then walked to the entrance gazing at the scene outside as she spoke to the old man.
“Are you certain old man...” As she said this, a strange voice soon wandered into her mind as if it was everywhere but nowhere at the same time.
“Huhuhu! Of course, what man isn’t certain about his own protege? The thunders dance in joy, as the storm bears witness, to the birth of a new child of lightning...” His words echoed like thunder, as in manner similar to the latter they quickly vanished along with the form of the old man who was no longer standing at the side of the female who stood at the caves entrance.
The woman seeing this became shocked as she looked around the cave, but much to her surprise, the villagers acted as if they didn't notice this scene. They looked at the direction where the old man once stood as if they were merely looking outside from the beginning.
Soon, the scene outside the cave took a drastic change once more.
Zap! A massive thunderbolt descended from the heavens, a dark blue thunder bolt with streaks of purple light within, it struck against the open field in a brutal manner destroying everything within the range of a few hundred meters.
Boom! The shockwave from this impact, generating strong winds that blew within the distant caverns entrance causing the villagers to fall into a state of disorder. However, the individual who stood at the door did so with firm look, not moving an inch with the demeanour of expert.
After the shockwave vanished and the thunders receded, a strange scene was now revealed.
At the center of an electrical field was a youth, a small one with glowing blue hair that sparked with divine light and the essence of thunder that shrouded his being. He looked no older than 5 years-old, with his eyes gleaming with an unusual intelligence unlike any child of that age.
He tiny little hands clenched into a fist as his sharp little eye-brows furrowed in confusion, “I am who?... Where is here?” A lonely look now coming into his big innocent eyes as he looked around with a slight fear.
