Nameless King

"Hey, you have a great castle, it looks like your ego is as big as it is, doesn't it?" Gisle said in an arrogant manner while heading toward Aurora.

"Hmm? Watch your words, this castle is one of the great treasures of the Human World." Aurora uttered with a serious look, "Wain, who is this insolent fellow?"

"That's Gisle, I've already told you about him. We came to see you because we have business with you." Wain said in a calm voice as he closed the door.

They sat across from Aurora, in two massive chairs, and looked at her intently, especially Gisle.

"Ah... Are you Gisle... Is a brat like you the leader of the people in the World of Destiny? That's pretty sad." Aurora muttered with a disappointed look.

Wain remained silent, he decided to leave it to Gisle as it was his battleground in which he was better than the others.

"Are you sure about that?" Gisle grinned, "Wain is only a few years older than me, but you believe in him maybe even more than you believe in yourself."

"Pfff, don't compare yourself to Wain, he is the heir of the Nameless King, it is his destiny to one day become the ruler of all the humans, there can be no other way." Aurora uttered in a confident manner as she glanced at Wain.

'Destiny, right? Damn... I don't like the sound of that at all." Wain muttered inwardly as his aura intensified without his knowledge.

However, neither Gisle nor even Aurora noticed this because the aura emanated from Wain's soul that as though responding to his feelings began to tremble.

"Well, you can't judge whether I'm doing a good job or not, since you haven't seen what Last Light has been able to accomplish in the last few months and we haven't revealed ourselves to the world yet." Gisle said while tapping his finger on the table.

"Hmm? Are you still in hiding? Looks like you're not as stupid as I thought, but you should keep doing it. Arkans will attack you as soon as they realize how many of the humans are in one place." Aurora said in a serious voice.

"Huh, we know about that, but we can't hide forever, it's impossible. That's one of the reasons we came to you." Gisle muttered in a calm manner.

"What are you talking about? There's no way you can handle a few Fifth Chronicle Arkans, they're insanely strong." Aurora frowned as she crossed her arms, then her eyes went wide, "Don't tell me you came here for this...?"

"Yeah. You're very strong, that's a fact, so if you agree to help us in case of an attack it will keep us safe. I know it may be sudden, but you can't refuse such a request to the other humans who have no one in the Fifth Chronicle, right?" Gisle said as a devious smile appeared on his face.

'Bastard...' Aurora muttered inwardly as she clenched her hand into a fist.

'Okay, see what you can tell me about that.' She thought.

After a few seconds, she sighed and said, "Well, you're right, but what's the point of me helping you? I mean, there are tens of thousands of you out there, so alone I can't protect you all anyway."

Aurora turned around, pointed at the city, and said, "If you move all the people here, you'll be perfectly safe. I promise to find a home for every inhabitant. This is the best option that we, the humans, have."

p "Oh, thank you for such a pleasant offer I appreciate it, but it's not necessary, I don't want to strain your system so much." Gisle shook his head with a slight smirk on his face, "I realize you can't do this alone, but we've already thought this through. Besides you, we have another Fifth Chronicle defender."

"Hmm? Who's that?" Aurora frowned, "You can't trust anyone but the other humans. If one of the Pillars offers you that kind of help, you'd better refuse."

"No, it's all right. It's not one of the Pillars, but it's not a human either, it's a Dragon!" Gisle exclaimed as he waved his hand.

"What...? A Dragon? How is that possible...?" Aurora muttered while in disbelief.

"We've seen him once before." Wain said in a calm voice, "This is Kadridas. He gave his word that he would protect us if we were attacked by Arkans."

"Fuck... Looks like you've prepared for this conversation..." Aurora muttered.

"Yeah. If you and Kadridas defend Last Light, even if someone wants to attack us, you can hold off the enemies until other Dragons come to help. They are defenders of the world, after all." Gisle said in a calm voice as he shrugged.

"Argh... Damn, you're a pretty risky guy, you know? You're only in the Fourth Chronicle, but you're trying to build a defense against Fifth Chronicle Arkans... Well, you're pretty good at it." Aurora uttered while shaking her head.

"So, that means you agree, right?" Gisle asked as he looked intently at Aurora.

"Yes. Like I have any other choice. We're all humans, so I can't help but help you, especially when Wain and you, their leader, ask for it." Aurora muttered with a calm look.

"Fine. Then I want to make a contract." Gisle said as a magical scroll with various runes appeared in his hand.

"What...? You don't trust me? Why the hell are you so suspicious? Can I have any reason to deceive you?" Aurora frowned as her aura intensified.

"Well, until you heard that Kadridas was helping us you tried to move Last Light here, but I just met you, so I can't trust you, yet." Gisle said with a serious look as he put the scroll on the table.

Aurora was stunned for a while, then she took the scroll in her hands and with a slight smile on her face said, "Asshole, you know exactly what you're doing. All right, so be it."
