A Journey That Changed The World.



Rowana was filled with awe at the sight of the tiny dragon perched on the boy's shoulder, and her excitement was evident.

"How did you manage to get a Fairy Dragon? And what's with the four horns? What happened to you?" She asked Archer.

Archer looked down at her and replied, "I rescued her down south after some wolves had trapped her in a tree. And as for the horns, they came from my evolution."

As Rowana's eyes sparkled with wonder at the two dragons, Ephrain interrupted them. "Come on, Rowana. You can meet up with your lover later. We have a quest to complete."

Rowana shot Ephrain a withering glare before turning back to Archer, her lips curving into a sad smile. "It was wonderful to see you, Archer. We must catch up soon."

He nodded and produced a small token, which he handed to her. She looked puzzled, but he explained, "If you're ever in trouble, channel your mana into this token and it will transport you to safety. It's a one-time use, so be sure to use it wisely."

Rowana's violet eyes sparkled as she gazed at the token. "Thank you," she said with a big smile, "we will meet again."

Archer nodded to Ludo and Ephrain as she joined the caravan and disappeared into the distance.

"You've done it again," Teuila chided, her eyes dancing with amusement. "I thought you promised not to ogle women."

Archer turned to her, a hint of defensiveness in his voice. "I wasn't ogling Rowana. We met on a quest years ago, and she treated me with respect."

Teuila grinned mischievously. "I know, I'm just teasing you. But what are those tokens you gave her?"

Archer's expression softened as he explained, "They're teleportation tokens. They allow someone to enter the domain with a single use. I give them to people I know so they can quickly get to safety. But for you and Ella, I have something special in mind. You'll each receive a bracelet that will allow you to teleport at will."

Teuila nodded as she reached out her hand and started stroking Sera, the little dragon stared at her and chirped.

A smile spread across Teuila's face as Sera flew over to her and perched on her shoulder. Archer looked at her and shook his head.

They already saw Vassia City in the distance. Right after exiting the portal.

As they approached, the towering walls loomed overhead, casting a shadow over them. Drawing closer, they saw a long queue stretching out before them.

After joining the line and waiting for a while, Teuila turned to Archer and asked, "Will Ella be joining the celebration?"

Archer turned towards her and replied, "Yes, she will. Is that okay?"

Teuila nodded, "I wanted to speak to her, but the real question is, how long will we be waiting here?"

With a smile, Archer slipped his arm around her waist. He instructed Sera to hold on to Teuila, then cast Blink, appearing on the city wall.

He quickly Blinked off the wall and into the city, causing Teuila to burst into laughter as she saw Sera clinging to her.

After they landed, Archer released her and began walking towards the main street. Teuila caught up to him and inquired, "Where are we going now?"

He spoke as he searched for the shop, "You enjoy magic, don't you?"

She nodded, curious as to where he was leading her. Archer was looking for the Witch Way Out.

He was going to buy Ella some earth and light spells along with water spells for Teuila, not long after leaving the alleyway he found the shop.

Teuila spotted it and her eyes widened, ''It's so big, and it only sells spell books, why are you bringing me here?''

Archer beamed at her. "I'm planning to purchase some new spells for you and Ella. Since we'll be traveling together, you'll need them, especially where we're headed."

The duo, accompanied by Sera perched on Teuila's shoulder, entered the shop. As they looked around, it felt just like two years ago, except for the abundance of books.

Archer's ears perked up at the sound of an old woman's voice. "Look who it is! I never thought I'd see you again, boy. Oh, and you have two beautiful girls by your side," she exclaimed.

Gallaka emerged from the back, now having to look up to Archer. He replied, "Yes, it's me. How have you been, Gallaka?"

"I've been good, boy. Are you going to introduce them, or are they just going to stand there like silent statues, staring at me?" Gallaka asked.

Archer smiled at the old woman's words. "This beautiful blue-haired lady is my soon-to-be fiancé Teuila Aquaria, and the cheeky little dragon on her shoulder is Sera," he introduced.

Teuila couldn't help but roll her eyes, but she still smiled as he started browsing the store.

Gallaka observed as the couple perused the books, with Archer eagerly showing Teuila various titles with a smile on his face.

'Young love blooms the brightest,' Gallaka thought to herself.

Archer was searching all different spells and found six spell books for the girls but unfortunately, the shop didn't have any light spells.

Teuila will have access to Water Jet and Water Volley spells, while Ella will learn the defensive spell Stone Wardens and learn Magic Stones for offensive attacks.

Archer scoured through the spell books, hoping to find another useful spell. However, his search proved fruitless, and Teuila watched him sift through the pages with mild interest.

Suddenly, his attention was drawn to an ancient-looking tome with a worn cover. As he pulled it out, the title caught his eye.

"Crown of Stars." But before he could delve into its contents, a voice from behind him cautioned him.

"No one has managed to learn that spell," Gallaka said. "They say it's too complicated and expensive."

Despite the warning, Archer was undeterred and eagerly opened the book to explore its secrets.

After poring over the ancient tome for some time, Archer finally deciphered the spell's incantation.

The spell would create seven glowing motes that would circle his head, acting as sentinels that would shoot anyone who dared to approach him.

Delighted with his newfound knowledge, he finished reading the book and was surprised to see a notification appear before him.

[Crown of Stars Learned].

With a grin on his face, he looked up only to see the three ladies staring at him in shock. Confused, he scratched his head and asked, "What's up? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Gallaka coughed before speaking. "How did you do that, boy? You're only a Magus. How did you learn such a complex spell?"

Archer gazed at the old woman whose eyes are wide, he pondered to himself, 'It's too troublesome to hide my powers.'

He sighed to himself as he looked at the old woman and Teuila, Archer started speaking.

"I am known as a White Dragon, the closest beings to the mana of the world. Being what I am enables me to learn magic almost instantly, but I still need to know how the spell works to be able to use it.''

Gallaka looked at him with a shocked expression while Teuila had a big smile on her face. Archer shook his head as he brought the seven books to the counter and waited.

Emerging from her brain fog, the old woman made her way to the counter. Archer watched her approach and spoke up, "How much for the seven?"

She glanced down at the books and replied, "40 gold altogether, with a small discount for a good customer."

"40 gold it is," Archer said as he placed the coins on the table.

Gallaka's eyes gleamed as she snatched them up and muttered something under her breath as she walked off.

"At least I'll have another seven days to pay, and RoRo can stop worrying about them for now," she said.

Archer's ears perked up at the mention of paying someone. He walked over to Gallaka and asked, "How much do you owe, old woman?"contemporary romance

Gallaka snapped out of her mumbling and glared at the boy. "Why do you ask? It's none of your business, boy."

"I know, but you've been kind to me and given me a few deals," he said as he stowed the spell books in his Item Box, while Teuila observed the exchange.

"So, how much do you owe to the person you're worried about? And when did you borrow their money?" Archer asked.

The old woman was stubborn, but Archer persisted until she relented. "One year ago and it's 112 gold coins! Satisfied now, boy?" she grumbled.

Archer pulled out a pouch filled with gold and tossed it on the counter.

''Here, there's a little over 120 coins there. If you come across any rare spell books in the future, let me know. Anyway, Gallaka, we're leaving. Have a good day," he said as he walked out of the shop, followed by a stunned Teuila.
