Chương 75: ARRIVAL TO A GREAT CLAN IN THE COASTAL TERRITORY.

***On Planet Gieă, In the Outskirts of the Continent 'Eclipse of the Oceans', Chingford's Academy gates..

It's a lively afternoon within Clingford's Martial academy grounds. After a much desired one week break, the students have mostly resumed back into their respective social and martial space. Martial disciples linked up with friends and mates as they discussed petty matters with smiles and liveliness instead of the former tired faces and weary attitudes that had infected the Academy grounds before the break.

It's both surprising and heart-warming to onserve what a single week with each person's families could do to their mental and physical state. Every disciple looks re-energized and prepared to face the difficulties that comes with a new martial term.

Well,.. everyone but one person.

With his Sheathed Claymore sword and hikers bag on his back, another packed bag held up in his right hand and one more packed bag held up in his left hand - Navi walks through the Academy school gates while attracting small confused stares even from the Gate Guards at his pathetic looking physical state.

The dark circles around his eyes could be seen from a mile away. His lustrous ink black hair is very long overdue for a trim and his skin is in an inhumane shade of pale. His steps were firm but his pace suggests that he feels no comfort from swinging his limbs. Tiny stressed veins revealed a redness around his orange iris that makes Navi to look more than a little tired and freaky.

Getting to the checkpoint, Navi distractedly scans his Disciple slip at the front gates before calmly continuing his journey through the Academy's grounds at a calm pace.

Sometimes, a gaze would stay on his lone figure for a little too long and sometimes a question filled look would be directed his way but he could actually care less as the pains coming from his 'bones' is working wonders on his still buzzing mind despite his indifferent expression.

His neatly ironed white robes stands a very sharp contrast to his ' rough state' and somehow, he still manages to pull off a striking image with his odd visuals. With his short height and distinct eye colour a lot of people can immediately recognised him as the cold and young martial disciple but they do not care enough to ponder about him for long as they withdraw their gazes after a bit of time.

It had taken about fifteen minutes due to his pace but soon, Navi finds himself back inside the building that's hosting his dorm-room. Navi halts his steps as he looks towards the base to the flights of stairs that leads up to where he needs to be.

His room sits on the third floor so he has to go through a good six flights of stairs before making it up there!. For a moment, the flights of stairs looked like tiny little mountains he has to overcome.

Giving a small sigh, Navi places his leg on the first set while immediately giving a small gulp as his leg muscles trembles in agony.

Regardless, what has to be done has to be done.

...

***In the Coastal Clan's territory of Continent 'Eclipse of the Oceans' *Consort Tamara's Imperial Carriages..

Its mid afternoon in the Coastal Clan's territory and a live spectacle occurs to thousands of onlookers.

Five Majestic Imperial Carriages with an aura of the purest Nobility can be seen magically gliding through the air while being pulled by wingless Crystal Dragon-horses.

The toned and muscular Dragon-horses with bodies made of Ruby Pink Crystals looked beyond breathtaking in the Sunlight as the crystal beasts gives coordinated and harsh strikes against the air with their hooves.

Each of the Crystal-Horses strikes would create crystalized multi-coloured Diamond-like plates for a second and the horses used this plates as stepping stones over the air.

The air itself seemed to sparkle from the Majestic aura of the Crystal Dragon-horses and the clouds parted ways in declaration to the presence of the highest order of nobility on these lands.

Inside the Distinct Personal Carriage belonging to Imperial Consort Tamara... Imperial Consort Tamara can be seen clothed in an Elaborate Purple and Silver robe that took her body up in a fiery yet noble grace.

Imperial Consort Tamara had her jewelleries made of the rarest jade's, the fanciest gems, the rarest metals and the most breath-taking patterns. Her make-up is done not in an attempt to re-enforce her already destructive beauty but rather in tones of subtle aggressive and passive authority.

Currently, Imperial Consort Tamara can be seen calmly standing inside,.. just three steps away from the Carriages closed double door. Her eyelids were lightly closed to hide her beautiful brown eyes as many small calculations runs through her mind.

Imperial Consort Tamara's Counsel-(Lea)- can be seen just two steps behind and by her master's left side. Lea is in a set of simple but breath-taking crimison robes with a few simple yet luxurious jewelleries hanging off her wrists.

Light make-up rests on Lea's face and although she looks indomitable, a slightly lowered posture that shows her utter submission to her master. Lea's breaths comes through as steady and noiseless and although always looking forward, she seems to gives the illusion of seeing it all and more.

Standing just one step behind her mother right side, we see True Imperial Princess Seflim.

True Imperial princess Seflim can be seen to be clothed in an exquisite sliver robe that's neither a battle nor a casual Royal attire. Life-like image of an Eclipse flood dragon are weaved into the fabrics of her robes with a story seemingly weaved with them.

Her blue eyes were as sharp yet calm as ever and unlike earth customs, she isn't trapped in a 'royal' gown but rather, Seflim can be seen wearing a set of cold purple trousers that comes in a style that puts the Royal symbolism behind gowns to utter shame!. Her boots were pale white but with designs of gold and a lace of royal copper.

Seflim face is completely calm and unlike her mother's tight braids, Seflim's blue hair is packed-up into a heavy ponytail while using nothing but a elegantly crafted metal gold band.

Every details in the trios dressing choice is a coded message to those who can read them. They are about to arrive at one of their compulsory visit as far as their journey through the Coastal Clan is concerned and they plan to send powerful messages.

The place they were visiting is of course one of the many powerhouses under the wings of the Coastal territory. These particular group that has earned the right to a visit stands as a massive and influential grand Clan that's mostly independent.

This clan are known to have a gift that's worth more than fortunes as well as a rich history that's worth Imperial attention.

Thinking of all the little and big thing she have learnt about this 'Clan', Seflim can immediately realise how important of a piece they would be in the future Imperial 'game of thrones' but the question now is 'Would this piece be for her or against her?'.

Outside, onlookers observed as the Flying Crystal Dragon-horses does a sharp dive downwards with their smooth crystal bodies becoming more scale-like as they quickly closes in on the ground. A dusty Brown-Gold cloud begins to foam out of the Carriages sleek bodies as landing becomes imminent.

Strong and Imposing Imperial guards with proud wine Cape and cold Chocolate armours seemed to be magically ejected out of every Carriages with the cavity-like outlines of their chests plates giving a magical glow of fiery red that sends messages to the might of these guard's. For distant cultivator's who dared probe directly at the Knight's, they get mild backlashes as absolutely nothing is behind the Knight's helmets gap expect a shade of dreadful darkness.

An intimidating polearm made of scaly matt-black metal rests in these Knight's hands or rather gauntlets and a timid purple glow stretches out like small veins from the centre of their Pole Arm's heads.

*(A polearm is a spear like weapon but a little longer. It has a head and a staff just like a spear but the head of a pole arm isn't mostly designed for throwing as it is much bigger, heavier, longer and sometimes in a completely custom shapes).

With their capes shaking the air and flapping behind them like fiery thunder, these cold sets of knights got into formation in a second as they began to fly by the sides of the rapidly descending sets of Carriages. Fully taking in their visuals, the Knight's well earned titles echoes through every onlookers mind.

RÅDIANT DÂRK KNIGHTS..

The elite defenders of the Ruling Imperials!.

These knights have sworn their lives to the Imperial family and they are known well for their many outstanding feats with upholding their vows.

Onlookers cannot help but tremble in both fear and excitement as their minds comprehended the significance of their dark armours and wine Cape.

The ground draws closer and the harsh strikes of the Crystal Dragon-horses hooves against the multi-colour plates of Crystals they have create began to echo through the air and grounds then finally, the horses skilfully stops their devastating momentum as they turned to the upright position.

These horses then balanced themselves in the air just a few feet above the ground. The dusty gold clouds rushing out the Carriages slowly fades to reveal the full beauty of the Imperial Carriages as well as the Imperial flags above each Carriages that flaps boldly with Authority over the lands.

The Radiant Dark Knights touched down a second later while preserving a tight formation around the Carriages with their body straight and their weapon by their side and pointing to the sky.

Slowly, the Carriages floats to the ground before making contact with a small pulse of unknown purpose going into the earth.

From one of the Imperial Carriages, a sets of Imperial knights in Dull red robes and royal blue capes that carry the symbol of the Imperial Household opens the main double doors of the Carriage.

These new sets of Knight's holds the doors as majestically yet traditionally dressed female escorts slowly exits. These escorts are wearing neat, long and heavy white robes and they slowly steps out in rows of two.

The calm and spotless escorts all come with lustered black hair braided neatly into a style of neat traditional Asian. Similar clothes, bearings, styles and pace made the escorts all look alike and the only jewellery the escorts pit on themselves are two golden sticks(Pegs) used in holding their heavy braids together.

The escorts all walked slowly yet elegantly out of their Carriage with their arms clasped together and in front of their waists and their body bowed slightly forward.

Following this, another Carriage is then opened up as two men each with neat white beards and hair steps out while wearing fitted purple Imperial Scholar robes. The two men stayed side by side just like the approaching twelve escorts formation-(Two per row)-. Getting into file, the escorts stopped moving once they were exactly five steps behind the scholars.

Tension grows due to the organised and very Majestic aura from everything that's simultaneously happening and this makes every on-looker near or far to tremble from the might, luxury and uniformness of the Imperials.

Finally, a massive Knight draped completely in a lustrous golden armour and elaborate light patterns steps out of seemingly nowhere.

A golden lion-like helmet masks thus monster's face with his helmet's gemed Ruby-red eyes chilling the souls of all.

The power in his imposing stature and appearance cannot be denied. A heavy blue cape flaps thunderously behing the Golden Knight's metal armour as he/she moves forward with the Imperial symbol loyally on his/her cape.

Topping-up this already suffocating appearance, a massive aura of doom remains constant in the Knight posture and destruction seems buried within his steps as he seems to have belont to the blood and flames of war and destruction.

A few could recognize this monster and their souls got chilled by their realizations.

GOLD RADIANT KNIGHT!!!.

A symbol of destructive terror and ultimate respect that's said to be able to single-handely destroy a Calvary of Rank Five Army!. These faceless figures known as Golden Radiant Knight's are known to be able to battle with terrifying elemental domains as masters of destruction and protection only second to the Saints!.

The atmosphere seemed to change under the presence of this 'metal monster' and then he walks up then opens the third and most luxurious and Imposing carriage that has been pulled by powerful Rank Five Crystal Dragon-horses.

Nobody comes out of the darkness of the opened door as the Gold Radiant Knight humbly takes a step back before placing a knee to the ground as he enters a completely submissive posture.

*GROOM!*.. As soon as the Knight's knee hits the floor, a small shock wave goes into ground with light tremors that lightly shakes up hearts and souls kilometers away.

The Gold Radiant Knight remained on his knee, waiting and then,.. a foot slowly places itself out of the darkness of the Carriage's open doors and into the dazzling sunlight while carrying with it an aura and beauty that made all eyes seem unworthy!.
