The world has Four continents.
The mysterious and vast continent of " atlantis " , The beautiful and vast forrest of " green lands " , and the continent his currently in " Gea " . And of course the all mighty and powerful continent of agartha . Where the Dragon king said where his daughter was last known.
Currently lucio was making his way back to the city after dissapearing for two months. He could see the massive city walls in the distance.
As he entered the familliar city . He quickly made his way to his house. Ah there it is. The big house made out of stone. It cost him all of his savings to purchase all those years ago. As he approached his house he heard a familliar voice.
" No fucking way.. lucio? "
He turned his head to greet his best friend. He had blond hair and a pale blue eyes his face was rather good looking and so was his muscular physique making him well recieved by the females.
" Hey Jake i- " before he could finish his words his best friend now named jake pulled him to a tight hug.
" Im glad your alive man " he said sincerely as a smile perked to his face.
" But you look like you need a hand. " Jake joked pointing out lucio's missing right arm.
Veins was visible in lucio's head , " im glad your still being a clown even tho i was gone ".
Jake grinned scratching the back of his neck , " what happened ? Everyone thought you were dead with the others " he curiously asked.
Sigh*
" Ill report later but now i need a shower. " Lucio pointed out he had a proper cleansing in the past two months.
Jake pinched his nose. " Yup alright , ill meet you there " he said before leaving lucio alone as he entered his house.
It was untouched the same way as he left it .
" sweet home. " He said before hopping into the showers.
He rested for a bit enjoying the peace and comfort of his home. Eventually he started packing , he putted on his best gears. And his best sword a black obsidian blade.
It was his favorite and was only used on big missions.
After packing a couple of his favorite clothes , and things he use for hygiene. He gave the house one last glanced before leaving for the house agency.
Later that afternoon he arrived the the adventurer hall to report. And also resign his comrades were shocked specially Jake who started adventuring with him since day one.
But of course after his near death experience it was totally understandable considering he only has one arm and eye now.
" Damn so your really calling it quits kid? " Darren the oldest adventurer of the guild approached him , he was a member since even before he joined.
" Yep. As you can see im no condition to fight anymore "
He replied.
Darren gave him a pat and a assuring smile
" good luck kid. "
Soon his other comrades bid him farewell as well. Lastly jake accompanied him to his walk.
" So where are you going now? " Jake ask.
" Im going to say goodbye to lilith before going. "
Jakes eyes widened as a grin appeared on his face.
" You gonna confess again ? " He teased.
Lucio ' s cheeks were a hint of pink before replying .
" Yes.. for the last time ill shoot my shot "
Jake smirk widens " seriously if she says no that means no " jake said trying to discourage his friend.
Lucio let out a determined expression , " my father said the way to a womans heart is by determination i just need to prove how much i like her.. " lucio replied.
" And how did that go for the last 5 years? " Jake responded.
Sigh *
Soon Lucio arrived in a secluded spot of the city as jake walked on his own a bit. Lucio was about to meet a friend he knew since childhood the girl of his dreams.
She was standing there. On the same tree they always hanged out all those years ago.
" I heard your leaving. " Lilith said. She was a red haired woman in her mid twenties. She was wearing a light iron chest plate and a skirt . And held a fencing sword on her waist .
" Im retiring. "
Her eyes widened as she saw his current state of disrepair . " I see. Where are you going ? ".
" My hometown , i called you here not just to say goodbye lilith. " He said as his heart started to raise.
Lilith eyes lit up she had an idea of whats his about to say.
" Will you.. come with me ? Settle down and start a family.. " lucio ' s voice was loud and firm .
Lilith let out a smile. Appreciating his offer.
" You know the answer to that. " She replied with a smile. She has been doing this to the past 5 years.
" No i dont. can you please give me a straight answer for once ? " . Lucio was nervous but he wanted her to be clear.
Her smiled drops a bit looks like she cant get away anymore she had to give him a straight answer.
Sigh*
" No.. im a part of the elites now. A royal knight the highest honor a warrior knight can get. " She explained a bit of guilt on her voice.
" I see , i respect that thanks for being forward. " He said as he turned his back away from her feeling a bit defeated.
" You wont resent me for this right ? " She asked. Worried he might hate her since she led him on for about 5 years giving him riddles and unstraight answers whenever he tries to confess.
" Im man enough to accept rejection dont worry. " Lucio replied. He felt a bit heavy but he had expected this in her eyes he was just a Common adventurer . Not comparable to her status as a knight of the royals.
As lucio walked off to the distance. Lilith gaze of his back
Her heart clenched as he walks.
" Im so stupid. " She cursed herself. As lucio's figured dissapeared from her sight.
As he walked jake patted his back , " ahh too much drama im glad thats over " he said with the usual grin.
" Yeah.. Im glad its over too "
Soon they reached a horse and a carraige it was his ride to agaroth . He paused for a bit checking if everything was there.
" All good. " He mentally commented.
His friend glanced at him. Checking the carraige his eyes was full of suspicion.
Jake ' s smile dropped as he let out a question
" Where are you going now ? Dont feed me that bs of visiting your hometown. " Jake let out a grin knowing hos friend very well.
Lucio eyes lit up knowing he cant really hide anything from his friend who knew him like the back of his hand.
" Agaroth . Im going there "
Jake's eyes sparkled. He was taken a back by the far destination. " For what ? " .
Sigh*
" Its a secret mission "
Jake patted his back " why did you not tell sooner ? " Jake wrapped his hand around lucio ' s shoulders.
" Im sure you need a protector specially now your handicapped. " Jake smiled . As he got into the carraige.
" Well i cant say no to a class A archer like yourself " lucio smiled greatly appreciating his friends company.
