Chapter 9: Ch 9. History(1)

"Yes, Mr. Glade. My country - Gloria is in great peril."

And after narrating the prophecy left by ancestors, the queen started to tell about the history of this world, history of Gloria and the problem it is in.

Gloria. Just like its name - a country of glory. But here glory doesn't mean war victories. This nation is the most developed from other nations. But that's the story of past. Now, even other humans don't even believe that Gloria exists. And the reason is because Gloria floats up in sky!

Yes, Gloria is located in a floating island that moves with the air current and shifts from a random location to another random location. And the altitude at which it is located, it very high which makes all the other races difficult to reach here.

But if it was located in one particular location, no matter how high it is other races would definitely will arrive in Gloria. But the problem is that Gloria moves everytime from a random location to another random location which makes reaching here impossible. If someone wants reach here, he has to have a huge amount of luck.

But the problem isn't isolation. Though this island is isolated, sometimes high class fairies means fairies under queen's command go down to meet others and collect information.

Millennium years ago, Gloria was also located in land. And it was the only land after the Elves that was blessed by the Holy Tree Yggdrasil. But due to a huge disasters the continent was broken apart into many parts. And Gloria was thrown into the sky. And from then, it is in the sky.

The disaster what made it possible isn't a natural one. It is done by the Zodiacs. Yes, Zodiacs - The beasts that suddenly appeared out of nowhere and took over the world giving many tragedies. But with tragedy, Zodiacs also bought wealth and power as well. It is a legend given by the First adventurer Adam - if you defeat the Zodiacs, you can get enormous power and uncountable wealth. And the most important thing is that after defeating the last Zodiac, you can get a wish which can fulfilled no matter what it is.

Gloria which was flunged into sky had a huge problem. And that was the weather. Everytime weather changes randomly which caused this developed nation to huge losses. And to survive, they made a huge decision.

Using the power of Sacred Tree - Zoa, they created a dome around the nation to protect from sudden change. And with the sacred tree's power they also made a machine for constant climate.

This helped the nation, but the Sacred Tree Zoa which is a small branch of Yggdrasil was slowly drying up. And if it dries up completely, then the whole nation is going to collapse!

And there was only one way to solve the problem. That is to plant the Seed of Yggdrasil in this island. But this seed doesn't grow in every place. To grow it, a special sand is needed. And that is the Sands of Mana. Yes, Mana sand is absolutely needed as a fertilizer for this to grow. And in the prophecy, it is said about the saviour who would help the nation from going ruin.

"So, according to your words I am the saviour who will bring this seed of Yggdrasil and Mana sand and save your nation."

Glade asked with a baffled face. As if somebody suddenly stuffed large amount of unbelievable things into his head.

"That's right." The queen nodded.

"But wait. Isn't in the lore, it is said about a trial. You haven't given it to me." 

Glade tried to refuse with the logical arguments. In the lore it is -

"But to acknowledge him, fairies should give him a trial to try..."

But from his point of view, the fairy queen haven't given him a trial. So, assuming him as a saviour of her race is not determined.

"I gave you. And you passed it."

"Hah?" 

"Before coming in here, didn't you got trapped in a illusion field. That is the trial given to others. This trials determines your will. But will is not all you need. It needs luck and strength as well."

The queen explained about the trial to Glade. The illusion field that is setup in outside of the nation. The trial to test luck, strength and most important aspect - will. After all, a hero needs the most is the will. It doesn't mean you do good or evil. As you have a ideal, a will according to yourself and do things according to it, you're someone's hero.

'So, that's what it is. I thought why I thought I got old and suddenly got young. That all of was an illusion. But those experiences were too real. But now I can't give a logical argument to her. And I am a being a saviour? I don't have time for being a hero. To bring the seed and sand. I don't give a damn to it. But during this exchange, I got a very vital information. Zodiacs. And the legend of getting your wish true. I need to get more info about these. I really want to deny it. But to save Blossom, I will use anything I can get. And info from her is too precious for me who just arrived from another world. The most logical action in here would be....'

"Okay I agree. I will help your nation. But you will need to complete a wish of mine."

Glade agreed to become a hero. It is the most logical action in his current situation.

"No problem, Mr. Glade." The queen smiled and agreed to his terms.

"I want .... "

Night, Eden Palace's Queen's Office...

"Your majesty, are you alright betting everything on that guy whom we don't even know for a day?"

Amoura asked Queen Sylvia. From her point, even if he was capable who knows he will not betray later.

"Amoura, I have tried everything to mend up the nation. But it can only for a short period of time. I also don't believe in the old prophecy and lores. But we don't have a choice. And I even knew that he was unwilling to become a hero." Sylvia said with a tired face.

"Then why?"

"But he agreed didn't he. It means he has something - a wish or goal or same sort of thing that he needs it desperately. And he made the most logical course of action. I didn't bet everything, it might be my hunch but for once I just.... I just.... believe that this human might help us."
