Chapter 15: Skylands Arena Battle

"Wowwwww it's so beautiful! There's so many fairies... and they all come in many shapes and sizes! This place is so wonderful! I've never seen a city of fairies before, my cheeks can't stop smiling!"

Elizabeth walked around the skyland city hastily. Up above them was the clear blue-sky, and clouds that floated around the large sky-island. It was a city of flaunted riches and exorbitant wealth, and due to its extreme-high elevation, the strong winds sent the trees bending over on their sides, and making the tall buildings creak. Fairies lived like this everyday however, it was just their daily norm. 

"So windy... hey, anyone wanna come with me and explore the City?"

Elizabeth said as she turned around to face them all.

"...We've came here for a particular reason Elizabeth, not to explore the—"

Grimhild was suddenly cut off.

"OW!"

"OOF-! GET OFF OF ME!"

Out of nowhere Jean fell through the portal before Kyto fell on top of him, smashing their bodies into each other.

"Looks like we've arrived."

However Fhiron made a safe landing on his feet, levitating slightly to the ground.

"Looks like you all made it. Isn't this place wonderful? We've got to explore! It looks so rich and beautiful!"

Elizabeth said in full of excitement. 

Jean started to rub his head whilst laying on the ground, Kyto now getting off of him.

"This is... a fairy city?"

Jean's eyes were full of amazement, slowly picking himself up from the ground and dusting himself off. The adventurer ran a few feet from the portal entrance and into the city-square. On the side of them was a weeping willow in the middle of the city square, blowing in the wind.

"It's so organized and very, very clean! It reminds me of home, back at the Rozenheart Residence. I'm getting so many memories just by looking around..."

Grimhild started to evacuate the City square and make her way down the streets, entering foreign territory. 

"Woah hey, Grimhild wait up!"

Elizabeth ran over to the golden mage while the rest looked around them, slowly walking behind.

"...I wonder..."

Jean said under his breath, catching Fhiron's attention.

"Hm? What is on your mind Jean?"

Fhiron questioned, while leaning slightly down to be closer to Jeans face.

"The Realm of elves, also known as Lothlórien... I wonder if it's pretty as this?"

Fhiron eyes widened from Jean's question, proceeding to stand back up straight and close his eyes in reminiscent.

"If I would tell you the truth, it is beautiful, Lothlórien that is. But it doesn't match the design of fairies. We elves are more-so focused on the nature. We live in large trees, our city has nothing but forest and wildlife of earth, such as deers, bears, and even other animals of known origins. It is beautiful and there is no violence or hate, other than the humans."

Fhiron opened his eyes again and took a deep breath.

"But... despite all that, one day it'll come to an end. My brother will be the next king, and his ways as a ruler is... wicked..."

Kyto and Jean both looked up at Fhiron in question, raising their brows.

"Huh? What do you mean by that? Aren't you the first and only king!? I thought you'll rule forever?"

Kyto asked.

"Well all things comes to an end unless you're a god. As elves, we live long, however I haven't sat down in my throne for over twelve years, as I was adventuring and searching for a beautiful wife in Midgard. That's why."

"You're serious—?"

Jean asked in disbelief, but with the look on Fhiron's face... he was telling the truth.

"Wait you're totally serious? You gave up something so important for another wife? How stupid can you be...?"

Fhiron slapped his face in regret.

"I regret it everyday young Jean, but that's how it is—"

"No! If you regret it then you can just go back home, so why don't you?"

Kyto asked with a higher pitch in his voice.

"Well... I've... lost my... absurd amount of mana to even crossover into Midgard by casting an Catastrophe spell, and my mana has been recovering for over twelve years now."

Kyto sighed, looking down in shame.

"I have no words. Nothing you say from this point onwards will surprise me King Fhiron."

"Kuhahahaha! I admire the respect of you still calling me King, young Kyto!"

"Looks like we're here."

The three talking didn't even realize that they were walking towards a large White building that looked wide and tall as a mountain in front of them. It had fairy dust sprinkling off of it, and many fairies gathering around it, cheering in sync.

"Settle down! Settle down! I know as of tonight it is the biggest night of Skyland island number one! Tonight is the night of our Arena battle, where many across the world gathered together in order to win incredible riches and the ultimate gift of them all… a fairies kiss!"

Talking behind a small podium was a fairy who stood on a large-stage set up in the middle of the streets, and in front of the huge white building.

"Hey… what's going on exactly?"

Elizabeth asked Grimhild.

"I can answer that!"

Pippy said while flying in the front of them.

"As of now we're hosting the Skyland's Arena battle, and it's our 500th one! We're labeled as Skyland number one due to the countless other skylands spread out in the outside lands! We were the first skyland ever built and we've been kicking for 500 years now, officially!"

"That's amazing… s-so what do you exactly get from participating?"

Elizabeth asked while tilting her head.

"You get what Lord Ensley said of course! Incredible riches and a fairies kiss! Which bestows someone the life of Immortality!"

Jean had an surprised look upon his face after hearing Pippy.

"I-Immortality…? Is what you say true?"

Jean asked whilst making his way over to the fairy.

"Yup! It's known as a fairies kiss! We fairies are all immortal, and we can't die no matter what happens to us. You can destroy our physical body, our souls, or even destroy our mana force and we'll still regenerate from our immortality! That's the kind of stuff people all across the world are fighting for!"

"If that's true, then how did those people enter the Skylands? Isn't it sacred to enter? Even the gods cannot breach through."

Kyto asked, curious to the reply.

"Well the event and travel committee takes care of that! The event committee sends out letters across Midgard and other realms to tell people of the Skyland Arena battles that take place every year. Then when they sign up for it, they put their first and last name and the letter disappears back to the event committee. After that, the travel committee sends them access into the Skylands a week before the arena battle starts. If they don't want to go then they just don't gotta enter. Simple as that!"

They all looked at Pippy whilst Grimhild looked down in thought.

"Hmm… I didn't know that was a thing… I really must missed a lot."

Elizabeth cluelessly blinked at Grimhild.

"Huh? If you didn't know about this, then why did you exactly bring us here Grimhild?"

The Golden mage glanced at Elizabeth.

"To receive a blessing of course. You know fairies can bless you with extreme luck that even manipulates the probability of things? Your luck will help you throughout life for the rest of your life. I want you all to be safe when I'm not there to provide…"

Elizabeth eyes widened from her friends reply… tearing up slightly.

"Grimhild… you're so kind. Why do you hide things like this from us? You can just tell us beforehand."

Elizabeth suddenly walked up to the witch and hugged her tightly, whilst pulling her into her smaller body.

"You're the greatest friend I could ever have!"

Grimhild risen her brows, slowly falling victim to Elizabeth's kind words. She couldn't help but pat the Rozenheart's silver hair, rubbing her hand back and forth.

"…Of course…"

Kyto and Fhiron both smiled.

"Honestly you can tell us this Grimhild, no need to surprise us."

Kyto had said, joining in on the hug, and wrapping his arms around both of them.

"She is truly a goddess."

Fhiron said in the background, taking pride in his words.

"Uhhhh… sorry to ruin the happy moment but, you guys know Jean just signed up to enter the Arena battle right?"

Pippy said whilst hovering over them, staring with an oblivious look on his face.

"WHAT?" (All)

Grimhild seemed the most concerned while they broke up their hug, now running through the crowd of fairies in search for Jean.

"What did you do?!? You fool!"

"Hey! Grimhild!"

Kyto was worried from Grimhild's sudden action, causing them all to follow behind.

"Jean! Where are you? Left…? No… right…? No!"

She looked in every direction and couldn't find him, until she could see Jean standing on stage next to the fairy on the Podium, also known as Lord Ensley.

"Please introduce yourself to the crowd! You wish to participate in the arena battle, then we must at least know your name!"

Ensley said, now stepping to the side and allowing the young man to stand behind the podium.

"G-Greetings… my name is Jean! Jean Parolette! I am participating in the Arena battle in order to obtain a fairies kiss. I truly do believe if I obtain this kiss, then I will be able to achieve my goal and do what my father couldn't. Therefore, I will put my name on the list… of the skyland arena battle!"

"Jean…"

Grimhild uttered underneath her voice.

"There's no way of getting out of this if you enter. The rules on victory is… life… or death. Please, refrain!"

Grimhild whimpered, desperate to stop him, but also held back her desire to outburst.
