A Journey That Changed The World.



Eight years before Archer got banished.

Archer sat comfortably in the library, surrounded by shelves upon shelves of books. His nose was buried in a thick tome, lost in the world of words and images.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching and looked up to see his mother entering the room with two new faces in tow.

"Archer, I'd like you to meet our new maid, Sheira, and her daughter, Ella," his mother said, gesturing toward the two figures behind her.

Archer took a moment to study the newcomers. Sheira was a kind-looking woman with warm brown eyes and a gentle smile.

Ella, on the other hand, was a really cute girl around his age with short blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and pointed ears that poked out from underneath her hair.

"Hello, young master Archer," Sheira greeted him warmly. "I hope you don't mind us interrupting your reading."

Archer shook his head. "No, not at all. It's nice to meet you both."

Ella looked around the library with wide eyes, taking in the vast collection of books.

"Wow, you have so many books," she exclaimed, her voice filled with wonder.

As Ella's eyes sparkled with wonder, Archer couldn't help but notice the curiosity and excitement in her gaze. He cleared his throat and spoke up, breaking the silence.

"Yes, there are hundreds of books in this room," he said, gesturing towards the shelves. "Father collects them, but he hardly ever reads any of them."

Ella turned to him, her bright blue eyes examining the black-haired youth who was to be her new young master.

Archer felt a slight pang of self-consciousness under her gaze, but he tried to remain composed.

"I love books," Ella said, her voice filled with enthusiasm. "Do you have a favorite?"

Archer thought for a moment before responding. "I'm not sure if I have a favorite, but I do enjoy adventure stories and tales of magic."

Ella's eyes lit up with excitement. "Me too! Maybe we can read some together sometime?"

Archer smiled, feeling a warmth spreading through his chest. "I'd like that."

While his mother showed Sheira around the castle, the women watched the children talk, leaving them in the library.

The two children spent a couple of hours reading together. As they finished, Ella turned to Archer and asked a question.

"Young Master Archer, do you want to learn magic?" She asked.

Archer looked up at the cute girl and set the book he was reading down.

"I do. I would love to learn magic," he replied. "My elder siblings have been able to use magic and are skilled with the sword."

He looked away, feeling a pang of self-doubt. He wished he were better with the sword, at least.

Ella noticed the self-doubt in Archer's blue eyes and spoke up.

"I'm sure you'll be able to use it when you turn 13, Young Master," she said reassuringly.

Archer saw the girl's smile and nodded his head before continuing to read with Ella. Most of their childhood was spent like this, or walking in the garden during hotter days.

It was years later when Ella turned 10 and was named Archer's personal maid, which made the two of them very happy. As days passed, they grew extremely close.

When Archer's siblings pushed him away for not being as good as their older brothers Oswyn or Aldwulf, he retreated to the library alongside Ella, who never left his side.

Their friendship continued to grow stronger over time, and when they both turned 13, it was obvious to everyone around them that they had feelings for each other.

However, Archer never said anything due to his insecurities about himself and his skills.

Unfortunately, their happiness was short-lived when Archer was seriously injured by a beast, causing him to fall into a coma. It was Ella who stayed by his side, never leaving him.

But when he woke up, he was no longer the same Archer. Something had changed in him, and he began a journey that would change the world.

[London, Earth]

Twelve years before Archer's murder and transmigration to Thrylos.

A little boy with brown hair and eyes was playing in a playground.

As he went down a slide, he saw a moving van pull up outside the empty house next to his. A man and woman got out of the van, followed by a little girl that caught his attention.

Curious, Archer ran over to the van and saw a little girl with navy hair tied up in pigtails and big green eyes. She looked up at him with a smile as he approached.

"Hi there!" Archer said, introducing himself. "I'm Archer. What's your name?"contemporary romance

The little girl giggled and replied, "My name is Alexa. Nice to meet you, Archer!"

Archer couldn't help but feel drawn to her infectious energy and playful spirit.

"Would you like to come to the playground? They've built new stuff, and it's fun," he suggested.

Alexa turned to her mother, who had just appeared. She looked at the cute boy who was trying to get her daughter to come and play.

Pamela smiled as she introduced herself.

"My name is Pamela, and my husband's name is Harry. What brings a cute little boy like you out here alone?"

Archer looked down, feeling a bit embarrassed. How could he tell them that he had no friends?

"I just wanted to meet new people and have some fun," Archer replied, trying to hide his nervousness.

Pamela's warm smile put him at ease. "Well, you've come to the right place. We'd love to have you join us."

With that, Archer and Alexa ran off to the playground, their laughter filling the air. He felt grateful for the chance encounter that had led him to make new friends.

They played together for hours until the sun began to set. Pamela arrived at the playground and called out to Alexa, who said goodbye and ran over to her mother. To Archer's surprise, Alexa quickly returned with a smile.

"Arch, do you want to join us for dinner?" Alexa asked eagerly.

He nodded and said, "Let me tell my mum. Come with me."

Together, they headed towards Archer's house, but Pamela called out to the over-excited children.

"Archer, I spoke to your father, and he's happy for you to join us. Come on, you two," she said, turning on her heels and leading the way back to the house.

Alexa grabbed Archer's hand and pulled him along. He felt a mix of excitement and nervousness as he followed her, wondering what dinner would be like.

Years passed, and Alexa and Archer grew even closer. Both sets of parents thought they would end up together.

From childhood to adolescence, Alexa and Archer were inseparable. They attended the same schools and even pursued higher education at the same college.

Now, at the age of 17, their bond remains as strong as ever.

One day, Alexa rushed back into her house in a panic. Pamela saw her red face and smiled, suspecting what had happened.

"Lexi, what's going on? Why do you look panicked?" she asked, stopping in the kitchen doorway and leaning against the doorframe as she watched her daughter.

Alexa took a deep breath before blurting out, "Archer just asked me out on a date!" Pamela's smile grew even wider as she hugged her daughter, thrilled for her.

"That's wonderful news, Lexi! What did you say?" she asked.

"I said yes, of course!" Alexa replied, beaming with excitement. Pamela hugged her daughter again, feeling grateful for the bond that had formed between the two families over the years.

Pamela was sitting down, watching television, when she suddenly heard a panicked knock on the door.

She quickly put on her housecoat and opened the door to see Billy, Archer's older brother, standing there with tears in his eyes. Before she could say anything, he spoke.

"Auntie Pam, Archer has been stabbed badly and was rushed to the hospital with Lexi. Can you drive me and my sister there? Everyone else is already on their way."

Shocked and wondering what had happened, Pamela grabbed her car keys with shaking hands. Billy and Lucy quickly piled into the car.

She ignored all speed limits and raced towards the hospital.

She screeched to a stop at the hospital entrance and rushed inside, following behind Billy and Lucy.

They arrived outside a room when they heard a heart-wrenching scream. The three of them instantly knew that Archer had not survived.

Over the next few years, she watched her daughter sink into a deep depression and never leave her room.

Archer's siblings left the area and never visited again, as the memories of their baby brother were too difficult to handle.

Despite their parents' efforts to move on and be there for the other children, the family remained broken.

Alexa, in particular, was sinking into a deep depression after Archer's loss.

However, when she managed to get some sleep, she dreamed of a world where Archer was still alive and spoke to her, igniting hope within her.

With newfound determination, Alexa left her room with a renewed focus and returned to college to continue her studies.

Eventually, she secured a great job in a top financial firm and moved on with her life. However, deep down, she still longed for the day when Archer would come to get her.
