A ruined battlefield stretched as far as the eye could see. The sky was scorched red, the earth cracked and broken beneath the weight of destruction. A lady 's voice came: What is that? Where I am? Then at a distant there was a few dead bodies laying in the chaos. A middle aged old man and an old lady, both were looking royal. Then a voice came from behind a man came, his face was completely blur, badly injured and stopping his blood by his hand. He came and said: You have to run. Run. Go, Rose. I'll take care of the rest. Just go. The voice came again: no, I can't you all will die.
Then another voice came but this time it is scary full of chaos: Yes, you are the reason of your loved one's death. If you stop resisting, they won't be get killed. Just come to me and I promise I won't hurt any of them. Then she screams.
And then—darkness.
Rose awoke with a sharp breath. Her room was quiet. Moonlight streamed in from the balcony.
"Just another nightmare…" she muttered.
She rose from his bed, and walked out and start searching room to room in a vast palace. A few minutes later, he stepped into his own room and sat down, she took a box out and opened it, there was glasses in the box. She wore them and a high tech screen came in front of her. A calm and robotic voice came in her ears: Good morning, Lady Rose. You have an unread saved voice massage from Lord Arsh.
Rose sighs and muttered: Not again.
She took a deep breath and said: Okay play the massage.
The massage played and a calm, peaceful and a bit strong voice came in his ears "Good morning, my beautiful sister. I know you might've already tried to find me everywhere, and yeah, you are thinking right, I already leave to a new journey."
Rose's face turned light red in anger, he tried to took off her glasses to throw them but that voice came again. "Wait, don't throw it, at least hear me out first."
Rose calmed down and took a deep breath that voice said "Good girl. So, first let me answer the questions what is in your mind."
Rose thinks Is he really? Then voice said again: 1st. This journey is going to be almost a few months long.
Rose thinks, where, and the voice answered: It's in Sitler.
Rose thinks: Why Sitler? And the voice answered: Well, because, there is too much demon activities are being recorded. I don't have clear confirmation but have many clues that I can find a Commander there.
Rose thinks again: Why you? You can send someone else.
The voice answered: I can send someone else but It should be risky and time-taking and time is costing the lives here. So I can't risk more lives.
Rose sighs and leaned back and think How can I'll manage here alone?
The voice said again " I know you will and don't worry, I already talked to the other ministers. You don't have to attend any government meetings. I also assigned them works also. So, just relax and I also assigned you a few field checking works, so you also can go on trips too with just a few works. And you are incharge of the city so, you also have to take of it. And don't worry, Sitler maybe a under development city but they have network, so can call me anytime, but not too much."
Rose stopped the player and tried to call him. The call didn't meet.
The recorded voice said again: Well, I maybe in my jet, so my phone is not under the network. But don't worry I'll call you as soon as I land. I also prepared a special breakfast to cheer you up and to say sorry also, so you can check that out too.
Rose's gloomy face turned into happy, she stands up and walk towards the kitchen: Okay so, I am finishing this now, because I know you are going to busy with your breakfast. Good bye.
The recorder turned off.
At a small but luxury private jet.
The jet almost invisible for every radar. The interior was way too classy and luxury like a small luxury room. There is two luxury chairs with a table on the left and right side. A handsome, man sitting on the right side's chair, calm, composed, his blue eyes were calmly calculating. Outfit was simple but classy. White shirt with a back pant a watch resting on his wrist.
Then a middle-aged man came out with a cup of the coffee in his plate. His outfit was classy, black coat on a white shirt, just as a western butler. He came and bowed in front of the man sitting on the chair and served the coffee and said: We are almost entering in the boarder of Sitler, Lord Arsh.
The man (Arsh) saw at him and said with a smile: Thank you. Noar.
Noar stared at him and Arsh noticed: Tell, if you have something in your mind.
Noar hesitated, then said: N. Nothing my lord. It's just unusual to see you in this kind of cloths.
Arsh asked: Am I looking weird?
Noar said: No, my lord, you are actually looking quite handsome, even in these normal outfit.
Arsh smiled and said: Thanks, and please don't say Lord or Arsh in the sitler, we are at a secret mission. My name will be Azura there, and I am just a normal student.
Noar bowed and said: As you say, My lord.
Arsh smiled and said: I don't think you get it, but it's okay if you say so.
Noar still standing there, like there's still something in his mind.
Arsh saw him sighs again and asked: Tell?
Noar asked: Sorry to ask my lord but, you are quite famous around the world as the lord of the world. If you didn't disguise yourself properly, you might be get caught.
Arsh took his glasses or specs out and said: Well, I won't be, because of these.
Noar saw them and asked: Just specs can't hide your personality charm and everything, my lord you are way too famous, even a few years old child knows your name, your face is used as the symbol of peace, courage, hope and many other good things. You are the most searched person on every search engine since last 5 years.
Arsh gave him the water and said: relax, Noar. These are not just normal specs.
He took the specs out and wear it. And his hair and eye color changed. To Dark Black.
He stands up and asked: Do you think someone can recognize me now?
Noar got shocked and didn't said anything for a few seconds. Then said: I don't think so. But how's that even possible?
Arsh took the glasses off and changed his hair back to white and said: Well, It's my new experiment, it all works as a hologram but a little different. It's basically works on molecular level, so my hairs look natural even while touching, and also my eyes didn't change color even if we look from glasses out corners. It's fully metallic so, It won't break easily, and I already going to carry another one for emergency. So, don't worry.
Noar bowed and said: Sorry for underestimating your intelligence. I am ready for any punishment, my lord.
Arsh said: It's okay, you are just saying that for my good.
A voice came from the plane's speaker. "We've entered in the Sitler's boarder, Sir."
Arsh nodded and said: Good, OSAI, have you sent the notice to the principle and others of my incoming?
The voice came again: Yes sir, all arrangements have been done. We going to land now.
Then Arsh turned to Noar and said: Ship is safe to land here, but we can't let it be here for a long time so, you go and park the ship on the outside, I made all the arrangements. I'll gather the info and take a look to the city after that I have to meet the principle of the Great Sitler University too. So, you have to go alone.
Noar bowed slightly and said: As you wish my lord.
At the entrance of the Great Sitler University
The university was quite lively. Students were smiling and enjoying. Arsh entered and seek for the principle's office.
As he entered the office to find all of the staff members waiting. They stood quickly when he walked in, with welcome bouquet.
Arsh—Azura— entered and asked calmly. "Didn't I say not to attract attention?"
Head master (Principle) took the presents from the staff and said: Sorry, Lord Arsh they just wanted to see you in person. The staff members bowed in front of him and leaved.
Arsh gave a proper introduction of himself.
"So… I'm Azura, second-year transfer student" Arsh said, extending a hand. "From a humble background. My last college was... too expensive."
The headmaster nodded, smiling. "Welcome, Azura. If you need anything, just come to me."
As Arsh exited the office, OSAI's voice buzzed in his earpiece.
OSAI warned. "Sir, Level 4 demons spotted—just a street over. Two civilians in danger."
"I can't run at full speed," Arsh muttered. "I'm a student here now."
"Best route is through the fire exit, but it's locked."
"Transfer access until I reach it."
"I can't. The system's isolated from external control. But I can disable the alarm if you breach it."
"Do it."
He reached the fire exit, cracked his knuckles with his bare fingers, and punched through the lock. The door swung open, silent.
OSAI said: "Alarms disabled. You're clear."
At the next street
flames licked broken buildings. Two terrified refugees were backed against a wall by snarling demons.
"OSAI, mask," Arsh ordered.
A sleek mask formed over his face from nanotech particles.
"There's another human here," one demon growled, noticing him. "Let's make him our meal too."
Arsh reached there, he stops and saw the refugees are safe and Demon's attention is now on his. He stepped forward slowly, hands in his pockets. "Well, my first-period bell already rang. I don't have time to play long, so, if anyone wants to leave, leave now."
"Hey, do you know who we are?" another demon barked. "Level 4 demons. Who do you think you are? The Great Arsh?"
The demon charged.
A flash of steel.
Silence.
The demon's head hit the ground before his body even realized it was dead.
The others froze.
"Who's next?" Arsh asked casually.
They attacked together. "You'll regret this." He danced between them like wind —graceful, lethal. In seconds, all lay defeated.
As he stood among the dust and silence, he looked at the refugees and whispered, "Please go away from here, It's not safe here."
The refugees bowed, said Thank you and ran away.
He turned back toward the college, brushing dust from his jacket.
Then a voice came in his earpiece.
"I'm here now, sir. You can leave the rest to me," Noar said firmly.
Arsh gave a nod. "Take care of these bodies… and bury them properly. We can't let anyone find a trace."
With that, Arsh adjusted his disguise and stepped into the college campus, blending in as the quiet and composed 'Azura'.
