The Great War of Rhodesia

Antology Story: The Night Before

"Even now the central region is no longer safe." Karka is seen talking to Joan at a bar in the refugee area on the eastern border.

"But wherever it is now is not safe. As long as the person with such a weapon is still around." Joan responded.

"Why do I still have to hear such concerns here? I want to dispel my worries and fatigue by enjoying a drink in this place." Suddenly Versica came and sat down next to Joan with a drink in her hand.

"Yes, sorry-sorry. Such a hilarity came out unnoticed." Karka apologized.

"By the way this place is like a city just now." This time Joan tried to change the subject.

"Right, what did I say? Otherwise it would be impossible for Mr. Pietro to open his first Bar branch in this place." Versica.

"Yes, I think you're right. Then how are you doing now, Ve?" ask Joan later.

"Not much. It's just that a moment ago I watched as the Teleportation Gate was activated,\= Versica replied.

"really? You were there during the attack on Arcane's mine?" Karka responded with a little enthusiasm.

"Yes, even from far away. But when activated, the Teleportation Gate lit up with an extremely glittering beauty." Versica continues the story.

"really? I'm so jealous of seeing it too." Karka looked a little disappointed.

"There is no need to envy everything. I was able to record the moment of the incident." Suddenly a voice came from behind Karka.

"Oh, Prince Eden? Good night." Karka immediately lowered her head in greeting when she found out that Eden had just answered her.

Joan and Versica looked down and greeted each other.

"Night Prince of Eden."

"Night." Eden took the table next to the table of the three men with some of his team.

"Is it true that Prince Eden recorded it?" Karka asked with a bit of enthusiasm.

"really. Because Mr. Aksa made an image-capturing magic tool that can be saved and played back. Although the duration is limited." Eden replied.

"Is it possible for us to see it?" Karka asked again in a slightly pleading tone.

"Could only. But it was in the tent in the Teleportation Gate region there. Come by there sometime." Eden replied.

"Oh, fine. I'll drop by there. Thank you Prince." Karka's face looks radiant.

"When you are a Prince you can hang out in a place like this" cut a voice from the entrance.

"Oh, Herman?" sahut Eden when he found the source of the voice.

"Well, how's our young merchant." This time Versica said hello.

"Well, miss Versica," replied Dirk's first son as he walked closer. "Good night, Mr. Karka, Ms. Joan," he said.

"Tumben you're here? Do you want to evacuate too?" Karka asked in a joke.

"Hahaha, I came with Mr. Huston and the alliance of independent merchants." Herman answered. "We are bringing in food aid from Western intervention" he explained.

"Ah, so it seems," replied Karka. Herman's reply made him recall the situation the region was going through.

"Ironis indeed, the citizens of the Central Region had to evacuate to a place made to accommodate outsiders." Eden spake.

"Tomorrow in the morning, was there a massive attack?" Joan asked.

"really. The main force has been preparing around the Teleportation Gate since yesterday the day after." Eden replied.

"Hopefully the attack goes according to plan." Joan says.

"Let this crisis pass quickly." Herman answered.

"Yes, hopefully this problem will pass quickly" said Karka.

Versica is not speaking. In her silence she is more than just hoping for the best.

Meanwhile, on one of the cliffs above the cliff cave of the Star Alcoves, Aksa and the others just finished installing a new protective Magic-producing mystic tool.

"As I promised."

Aksa handed the dark black circular wooden box to Yvvone as they were taking a short break before deciding to descend to the bottom of the ravine.

"What's this?" Yvvone received the box.

"Special mystical equipment for you." Aksa answered.

"Eh? That right?" Yvvone broke the intention to open it and slightly distanced the box from his face.

"Don't worry I didn't make you a weapon like mine. That mystical tool would not be harmful to its users. Rafa and Luque are helping make it." Aksa hurriedly explained.

"True, it's safe Miss Yvvone." Luque.

"And I'm sure you'll like it." And Rafa added.

Yvvone began to look full of anticipation when it began to open the box. And the other Elves.

Even Ymon, Solas, and Kanna had approached to see what was inside the wooden box.

And there was a metal no bigger than a piece of money with a small Arcane stone in the middle. There were six pieces in the box.

"What'sthis? Sort of dig? Or pendants?"

The Elf girl lifted him up then scrutinized each side closely. It was as if trying to find a privilege that escaped his attention.

"Try giving one to Rafa, he'll show you how to use it." Aksa.

And then Yvvone gave one to Rafa.

After receiving it the Seithr girl walked away from the entourage.

"Try to hold one of those pieces, Miss Yvvone. And give the Soul Stream into the Arcane crystal in the center." Rafa gave a guide.

"Oh, okay. Like this?" yvvone asked while showing the pieces in his hand that the crystal looks reddish purple.

"true." Rafa replied while also holding the puck given to him. "Prepare, miss Yvvone," cried the Seithr girl later.

"Preparate for ap-"

Not yet Yvvone finished his remark, there was a strange sense that the young Elf was feeling. And now his position has been in the position of Rafa before.

All the Elves were shocked by the incident they had just witnessed.

"What... actually happened?" Yvvone twists his body and finds Rafa now standing between Ymon, Solas, and Kanna.

"Hows it? I call it Blink-Disc. They can switch places when both are activated in a particular time and condition." Aksa proudly explained the device to others.

"And you don't always have to trade places with someone. Rafa will give another example" continued the young man with more enthusiasm.

"Oh, okay." Yvvone nodded stiffly. Still not fully understanding what is going on.

"Like this, Miss Yvvone. Rafa took another piece from inside his box, then filled it with Soul Streams until the crystal glowed a reddish purple.

After that unexpectedly Rafa threw the pieces into space. And then he lifted the piece that he still held and re-filled the Soul Stream into it.

And in a matter of seconds Rafa's body was already on top as if moving very quickly.

Everyone was again surprised by the incident.

Rafa cast his magic while in the air. And a pillar emerged from the ground, then captured Seithr's female body before it could fall down.

After that the pillar of the land sank again and lowered Rafa's body safely.

"Yes, so it's like that. The concept was that instead of manifesting the Transferring Magic, I used the medium to run the Converting Magic directly." Aksa explained.

"So the result is that you can teleport over a certain distance instantly without the need for a transfer Magic door.

"And if you practice its use, you can even jump several times to help you avoid or do surprise attacks in a battle. How, great, right?"

Yvvone and the other Elves did not react. They are still silent, feeling that they have misunderstood the ability of the tool.

"And that's why I said this device only suits you, because you have wind magic that can take back the pieces after you throw them. Because I can't add Magic Formations to pull back those pieces automatically without any impact like the one on The Omnipotence." Aksa said again. Looks excited.

"So you'll be the most Aeron Elf of the entire Aeron clan. Because you have the ability to move even without using magic circles.

"And if you want to be more excavated, the use of the tool is very diverse. Like to do an intrusion. You can throw the pieces into a room just from the door or the vent, and you can already enter the place. Kece, right?"

Aksa continued to babble at length as the Elves were still silent not reacting.

"Why? Is all that less cool? You disappointed?" ask Aksa later. There was something wrong with the Elves before him.

"Loved? Are you out of your mind?" yvvone exclaimed then as he walked quickly towards Aksa. "This equipment how did you make it?"

"really. Notify us. This was a breakthrough in the manufacturing of magic tools based on the Transferring Magic." This time, Ymone asked.

"Oh, so you're silent because you're too amazed and impressed by the tool's capabilities?" Aksa said as if she had just realized it.

"true." Almost all the Elves called out the same thing to Aksa.

"But sorry. Because this is a tool I built specifically for Yvvone, so in order to remain a unique object, I can't tell you the secret" Aksa later said.

"But at least now you know that Magic Transfers can be applied to many fields in many ways" continued the young man's song.

"Are you really not going to tell us his Magic Formula?" Yvvone asked to make sure.

"No. But you're allowed to try to make it based on that tool." Aksa answered.

"So this is the only thing I have in this world?" Yvvone muttered to himself. A little disbelief while returning to flip the pieces called Blink-Disk.

"Ah, I'm so envious," ymone said later.
