Unknown Guests

Year 1000 in a lonely forest at an spring morning

two people one young boy and one young girl roaming around as if they were looking for

something.

"How did we end up here and more importantly what is this place?"

Said the girl in a worried voice

" Uhh... I don't know but I don't know why this place feels very similar as if deja vu "

The boy said scratching his head.

Both of them looked very injured as if they just fought a battle. They suddenly heard the sound of bell

"Renne let's go towards from where the

sound of the bell is coming. "

The girl followed the boy they both walked through the forest when they suddenly met with a young man in the forest. He was a white haired boy, his blue pupils were enough to win the heart of any girl.

" Hey there! You two had a long travel ,if my assumption is correct. " Said the unknown boy to both of them. Both of them remained silent.

"Ah! Sorry I should've started with

Introductions first. I am Luke Anderson, genial of T.S.R.E, just call me Luke." The Young boy named Luke said to both of them

" I.. I am Haruto Yagami and she is

Renne Ryuuki... what do you need from us ?"

The boy also introduced themselves to Luke

, they both were a bit relaxed than before,

" well looking at both of you you do need rest with that amount of injuries, why don't you come to my department then I will explain everything to you. " Luke proposed to them to go with him with a gentle smile. Renne and Haruto both looked at each other .

"okay we will go"

" Great! Then let's follow me."

They all come out of the forest outside

of which there were many soldiers

on guard as if they were on search for something. All of them were clad in very high-tech weapons.

" Hey! I found these two injured in the forest, probably 'it' attacked them. Continue your search I will take them with me, I know them

Since childhood "

Luke said to the soldiers.He took the two of them to his car by which they reached T.S.R.E Headquaters. It was a very high-tech facility. Luke took them to the infirmary...

"Jeam will you treat them ?"

Luke said to a young lady in doctor's dress. She was a blonde, tall lady with pale skin.

"why not? it's my duty afterall "She said unenthuciastically and turned towards the two of them when she stopped for a second. Her face became red suing Haruto. He was a tall boy, black haired, his facial features were enough to win any girl's heart.

"Hey Haruto why don't you open your shirt

so she can check your wounds better." Luke said with a mischievous smirk.

"w_wait not is now I will send my male assistant"

Jeane told Haruto in an embarrassed voice. Suddenly Haruto felt a bit uneasy as Renne was staring at him ferociously.

"Looks like someone's having fun huh?". Haruto smiled awkwardly and calmed Renne • After Checkup they went to meet Luke .

He was waiting outside of the infirmary. He

was talking with someone about recruiting new persons. As soon as

those two I came out he dismissed

the person.

"Looks like both of you are in good shape

now"

"Yeah. Thanks to you gen- oh... Luke"

Haruto almost calls him general although

he remembered about Luke telling them

to leave that part. Harito awkward smiles

at Luke.

"well If you want I can tell you about

the current situation"

"Y-yeah we would like to hear about that

Said Renne in an excited voice. The trio then

went through a few gates which led to

Luke's office. It was a

very spacious

office which had a tea table at a side

with the seating arrangements of

six people and there was the table which

Luke used for his works, It had a

Picture of three child, two boy and one

girl.

"Your Childhood friends huh? "

"Yes Haruto although we don't meet that

of ten now. "

Luke said with a stone of sigh

while pouring tea for them with some

Macaroons. Luke urged them to sit

beside the tea table then he served them

fragrant tea

[ m-mmm so delicious.]

"Thanks Renne-san i made the tea my

self "

" such a delicious beverage! I never had something like this "

Haruto praised Luke's tea while sipping

the tea, the macaroons were also delicious

"well then to describe your current

situation..."

Luke explains that they were in the

Holy Kingdom of Eshtarath

As to why

..

Luke was in the forest , their department detected some unusual space-time

behaviour at that place so the higher-ups

assumed that it might be any mallicious

Creature which teleported to there

without going through the holy gate.

"what is a holy gate? "

"Ah See Haruto - San the gods who made

this place also made a barrier called

'The Eshtarath's Umbrella' since it was

to protect us like an umbrella

Holy gates are the only means through

one can pass that barrier

"

[Ah I feel like as the conversation

goes on I become more confused "

Said Haruto with a confused look.

"so why not start from the basics. "

Luke then starts to tell them about the

history of their world. He said that

long before time had any meaning

A being emerged from nothingness

and created new life forms called

'Alkhalidas' There were six of them.

Five of which had authority over the

fundamental enlements .

The sixth one

Was Eshtarath. She was the

epitome of beauty. Soon the being whom

now people address as 'Him' fell in love

with Eshtarath. 'Him' created all humans

too as he imagined their children would

look like. But happiness doesn't stay forever.

Soon A new being emerged from nothingness possesing almost the same amount

of f power as 'him the people call him

'Nero'. He wanted to take control

of the world and also wanted Eshtarath, In a

bloodshedding fight of thousands of years

'Him' did become the victor but Eshtarath

died due to battle. Humanity also faced

terrible fate that's why 'Him' ordered

the five Alkhalidas to build this

place to protect remaining humans and also to make his dear remembered throughout the total

span of time.

"woah! That's soo sad and beautiful at the

same time. "

Renne said with an emotional voice.

"well it's not the end yet "

Luke goes on to explain more. The Alkhalidas

bestowed authority upon five great spirits

na named the 'Samants'

of that time

They reigned over the five kingdoms.

They furthermore gave power to a few

royal families to handle the ruling

jab.

"You are currently in the capital of Garlack

under the rule of the Earth Samant

"well that explains a lot but why did you

save us? Aren't we a threat? "

Luke then gets up from his seat and goes

in front of the glass window. The palace

of Garlack Kingdom could be seen from

there

" You see I have been a General for over six

Jears. At first I looked up to the royal family

but now that has changed. People say to uncover the darkness one must go to the darkness first ... think of this as a risk taken by me for the greater good of this kingdom"

" Ok but how can we be of any use? We are outlanders."

Haruto asked Luke the obvious question while

sipping the tea with utmost delight.

" Well I can't uncover more until you agree to my proposal , so what do you say ? "

Haruto put his cup on the table calmly..... His expression became serious

" Well do we have any other options than agreeing? "

" Well said Haruto "

Luke takes his cup of tea which has gone cold at this point

" Ah it has gone cold already! "

In just a moment the tea started warming up

" How did you do that ? " Renne asked eagerly

" Let's keep these talks for tomorrow should we ? Well Haruto let's start then "

" Yeah go on "

Luke then goes on explaining the plan to

them.

" well we agree with the plan but I

Want to ask one thing."

"what is it Haruto-kun ?"

"what if we were to betray you and do harm to the Kingdom, what would you do then? "

Luke turns towards both of them. His

face beard a smile and he said with

a confident voice

" I will be there to stop you then Haruto-kun."

The room remains silent for a bit.

"well then everything is sorted. Should

we head towards our room?"

Renne breaks the silence with this.

Luke and Haruto agrees to this and they went towards their room

"W- why there is only one room room ? "

Renne screams in an embarrassed voice.

Her embarrassment reaches its limit

as the door is opened and she saw only

only one bed.

"Why is there only one bed?"

Luke then told them with a mischivious smile

that they are currently short in

rooms so they would have to manage somehow.He closes the door and goes back giggling.

Now Haruto has also become somewhat

shy

"R- Renne - San You could go and take

bath If you want, I will go after you "

"O-Okey Haruto-kun "

Renne goes to take shower. The warm

water made her body refreshed. Then

It was time for Haruto to take a bath

Removing his dress he reveals a muscular

and lean body with many scars as if

he was a seasoned warrior.

"w-well are we really gonna sleep in the

same bed?"

Renne asked Harito with a flustered

voice.

"A- Ah I can sleep on the floor. "

"N-NO You don't have to do that... fine

sleep beside me"

Renne says white covering her face with

the blanket.

"Well Renne I have something to discuss."

"w-what is it ? "

"It's about the portal. "

Haruto then goes on to explaining some

important things to Renne.

"So that's your plan ..."

"yes Renne, I know its dangerous but

according to me it's the only way. "

"Don't worry I have faith in you."

Renne looks at Haruto while holding

his one hand, her purple eyes sparkled like stars.
