"Goodbye my child, may we meet again in another reality"
A soft sad voice echoed in the nothingness void, following it a dot of purple light fall down the abyss of nothingness getting wrapped in the nothingness, it's form despaired in it getting forgotten from existence.

Drevioskeen archduke main castle deveray. Northern hall.
"Everyone hurry up, I can feel mana waves coming out of the alchemy lab!"
A short black haired maid shouted while running up the stairs in a shocking speed.
behind her were five maids and three knights two of the knights wore white Armour, a wolfs head image was carved on the chest armour and three fangs were carved on their forearms.
the third knight wore a similar armour but it was dyed In a light red colour and had four fangs on the armour's forearm.
"Vivian how could you take your eyes off him?!"
"When Selleni hears about this she will tear off our souls and grains them to soul dust and feed what remains of our bodies to the sloth hounds if anything happens to young master!"
The red armoured knight shouted at the short haired maid furiously, terror and fear could be seen on his face.
"How was I supposed to know that he could use illusion magic! His body is supposed to be very weak he can barely stand, how was I supposed to know that."
"Oh northern star I only took my eyes off him to go bring his medicine and I made sure to lock the room. was I supposed to take him with me all the way down the medicine storage room! "
The short haired maid shouted back her eyes pale with panic and fear at the thought of the head maid Selleni finding out.
"Your supposed to ask someone to watch him until you bring the medicine! It's not a math equation!"
The red armoured knight shouted in return and while the two of them were arguing.
six figures were running behind them.
two white armoured knights and five maids were running at a close speed to the two ahead.
The two white armoured knight's did not say a word as they focused all their physical strength on running while the five maids focused all their mental strength on using enchanting magic to enchante their speed.
none of them could spare a thought to argue.
After fifty second's they reached the top, standing opposite to them a large door with the words " northern alchemy's lab" was written on it.
It had seven runic symbols arranged besides each other making a circle.
There was seven circles, one large circle that was spread from one door to another and six smaller circles that was arranged on the sides of the biggest circle mirroring each other on each sides of the door.
Two on the upper side, two on the far middle end each on one side of the door and two on the lower side.
Each runic symbol shined with a white light that looked illusory.
the red armoured knight looked at the short haired maid not wasting any second.
"Quick open the doors, the mana ripples have grown so strong that even I can feel them!"
He shouted and the short haired made named Vivian started searching her pockets immediately, then a look of extreme horror appeared on her face.
"F@uck…I….I….I lost them!"
"oh northern star I must have dropped them when I found out that the young master in the bed was an illusion!"
A complete silence had fall on the group none of them spoke from how strong the shock was.
Then the red armored knight clenched his teeth, veins could be seen bumping on every part of his body that was not covered in armor.
His face turned red, almost as red as blood.
"What kind of idiot are you!!!"
"How could you forget such a thing!, you good for nothing low intelligence waste of air dump head…"
insults continued to fall from his mouth like rain on winter but she said nothing in response even though she's not the kind of person to take on insults easily.
she knew how massive her mistake was, she is lucky that insult's is the only thing she getting right now.
She looked to her side, one of the white armoured knights was on his knees holding a small necklace that had the face of a beautiful young girl on it.
he was sopping while whispering to the necklace.
"My beloved forgive me for not being able to return and ask for your hand in marriage I should have stayed home and found another way to rise my status to be able to ask your father for your hand…I'm sorry.." hic"…I'm "so" sorry…very sorry…."
He was sopping uncontrollably regret squeezing his heart, the pain of it was stronger than the hits and kicks he got while training with his mentors or the injuries he got while completing missions assigned to him by the order or the massive beasts he fought while in patrol.
Beside him the five maids were also on their knees prying that everything is going to turn out good, meanwhile the other white armoured knight was standing still, his expression could not be seen because of the helmet he wore.
"Can't you just break the door your a rank four aura user with extreme battle experience, you should be able to break the door without making an impact that would harm the young master"
Vivian said trying to calm herself and the others.
she knew that nothing would be fixed if this continues.
"No. I can't break it, the door contains a lot of sensitive alchemy circles if I try to break it using aura instead of the correct alchemy circle it will self destruct and explode, the impact will be so strong that even with one hundred percent of my aura storage I would turn into dust so it's obvious what will happen to the rest of you"
The red armored knight said while looking at the runic symbols trying to calm himself down as best as he could having similar thoughts to Vivian.
As both of them spoke trying to find a way to enter, a formless mana wave emerged from the door making their hearts freeze with terror.
But two seconds later Vivian eyes grow wide a miraculous idea shined in her head.
"Wait….if mana waves and mana ripples could get out of the door passing through the alchemy circles doesn't that mean it could get back in, if we could make them have the same frequency level they used to get past the circles"
Vivian said quickly, surprising even herself.
but the group beside her was in more shock than she was.
"That…..could actually work!"
The red armoured knight said his thoughts moving at lightning speed.
"You five should be at least rank three mages specialist in healing magic right, that means you know a bit of alchemy too since both alchemy and healing can be used to enchant and heal the body it should also share some principles….can you five do it, is it possible?"
The red armoured knight asked the five maids with desperate hope in his eyes.
the five of them looked at each.
"Can we do it?"
One maid with braided blonde hair asked another maid that wore glasses.
The glasses she wore shined with blue faint light for four seconds then she gave an answer.
"In theory we can but...it's very risky if we fail at any step while raising the volume of the combined mana the backlash would be way too severe for us and the young master on the other side would probably get harmed, the damage he would get in theory should be very little since the purpose of the alchemy circles stationed here is to protect the inside from outsiders attack's but some power would seep inside so that the circles would use it to replenish the damaged runes, a normal person would not get effected very much inside the room at most they would experience uncomfortable echoes in their soul core's but the young master soul core is already severely damaged since birth and in his state right now there's a possibility of him getting really harmed and even…..for him to die"
The maid who wore glass said then the maid with braided blonde hair thought for a second then said in return.
"We can inject a very small amount of our mana in turns so that the echoes would not harm his soul core but that would take days to do so…"
They all fall into deep silence.
then the white armoured knight who was standing still took a step forward looking at his commander the red armoured knight.
"Sir, I think I can solve this problem"
He said then he took off his helmet, his face looked handsome and young but it was full of scars the majority were small scars and there was three big scars one from his forehead to his left cheek crossing his left eye the second was from the end of the right side of his upper lip to his ear and the third was across his forehead.
his pupils were pitch black and he had dark circles under his eyes, his expression was still and his glare was cold.
"What do you mea___wait you don't mean….for how long we're you?!"
The red armored knight said with shock in his voice then Vivian looked at the knight with the scared face deeply.
"What do you mean knight. explain immediately!"
Before the knight start speaking the red armored knight raised his hand stopping him.
he sighed deeply.
"I'll explain. Derek I command you to stay still and don't act unless I order you"
The red armored knight said firmly and Derek took a step to the back nodding his head.
"Understood commander"
Derek said his gaze was hollow looking towards the door as if he was doing a watching duty not bothered or worried about anything.
"Well what are you waiting for speak before it's too late!"
Vivian screamed in anxiety at the red armored knight.
"Derek is not a pure human....he's part blood creature"
The red armored knight said and the five maids moved aside from Derek taking a few steps back from him.
"That's…..that's impossible! How did the archduke allow such a creature here!"
Selleni said furiously looking at Derek but all he did was stare at her coldly not with anger but with indifference.
"Whether you like it or not fate has decided that this lowly creature of corruption is your only hope right now, and he could just stand still and not do anything after all whatever punishment He would get it would be nothing compared to what you will get"
The red armored knight Said with a tone of dominance that could not be ignored by anyone weaker than him.
"so step aside and stop asking stupid questions, saving the young master is our top priority"
The red armoured knight said looking at her deeply in the eyes.
all she did is sighing deeply.
she knew that he is right, because now Derek was her only chance to get out of this predicament.
so she swallowed her pride and stepped aside muttering.
"I never thought there would be a day where my survival would deepened on such damned creature"
Derek could hear her muttering but he didn't answer for any of it or even look her direction.
after all she wasn't the first and won't be the last one to say such things to him, he already accepted that this was the attitude he would get from most of the people he would meet in his life and comparing this to what he had to hear before he came to the order her words could be considered polite and civil but again she needed him so she couldn't say everything that was in her heart however the commander standing beside him did not tolerate her words like Derek did.
He put his hand on his sword handle a dangerous aura emitting from him.
"Personal maid Vivian I will not tolerate you speaking like this to my subordinate!"
"no matter his race, right now he is wearing the grand armor of the dire wolf order. any disrespect towards him is a disrespect towards the order and me his commander"
Selleni upon hearing the commanders words flinched a little then she took a deep breath and said calmly.
"I understand your words commander Ivan and I apologize for my ignorant words it was never my intention to speak disrespectfully about the grand order I take my words back"
Selleni said calmly though everyone standing there could see that the underline of her words is that she apologise for the order not to Derek but time was running out so none of them wanted to continue this conversation.
"You five start injecting your mana into the door inject all of it in one go and I'll take care of the echoes and mana ripples"
Derek said as he stretched out his hand touching the surface of the gigantic door.
"Hurry up!"
The five maids looked at each other then they said in worry.
"B…but if we do so the echoes and mana waves might be so strong that it might cause a fatal damage to your aether body"
"There's no time just do it"
The five maids looked at each other then they nodded and all five of them rised their hands.
Five mana circles appeared in the air one is blue the other is green and the last three are yellow.
Immediately after the five circles pressed against the door the mana started seeping in.
lightning sparks started to appear at the places we're the circles has connected to the door.
Derek eyes turned red his face stiffened for the first time as he started to absorb the echoes and mana waves.
Lightning sparks started to move from the circles to him covering his body as blood started seeping from his five orifices.
"More, Increase the volume!"
He shouted and five more circles appeared on top of the previous five as the lightning increased his skin started to melt and boil.
"Ugggh! "
He growled then his commander put his large hands on his shoulders, red aura ingoliving both of them as the physical damage Derek received fall to half of the original amount.
"I may not be able to observe echoes like you but I can at least protect your physical body from outside effects however I can't protect your aether body I'm not a five fang knight after all"
Ivan said with Firm voice and hearing his voice Vivan coursed to herself and stretched out her hand to Derek shoulder black and red aura emitting from her.
"I will help too"
After her the white armored knight that was crying stood up with fire in his eyes as he stretched out his hand purring all his aura to Derek like a mad lonitc.
"DEREK. if we succeed in this I will spend all my yearly savings on treating you to the best restaurant in the whole empire so you better succeed! You hear me! My future kids depends on you!"
He shouted madly, the speed of which he was purring his aura was faster than both Vivian and Ivan.
Seeing this Ivan nodded at the white armored knight proudly.
then the five maids started increasing the mana circles and soon a total of fifty circles appeared forming layers on top of each other.
by now even Ivan and Selleni who were only supplying their aura to Derek started to feel their Aether bodies getting scratched, so they knew that by now Derek condition was horrifying but all they could do is to give everything they have.
"It's working I can feel the runes being weakened"
One of the five maids said with a low voice that could be mistaken for a self murmur, after all they are using every bit of mana they have in their bodies speaking was already hard to do,
After twenty seconds the fifty mana circles disappeared and the five maids fall on the ground unconscious even Derek fall on one knee breathing harder burned marks covered his scared face, Selleni and Ivan were just exhausted from using more than half of their aura but they still had more than enough.
however the white armored knight was already unconscious at the verge of death.
"Quick enter before the alchemy circles reconstruct themselves!"
Derek shouted on top of his longs and the two standing waisted no time hurrying to open the gigantic doors entering the room and seeing their young master laying on the ground unconscious.
"Oh my northern star! Young master"
