The King Of Priests
The Ordination Day

Today was a happy day for the budding priests. Today is the graduation day of young priests after studying for ten years. Ten years of young priests learning how to use magic as well as various rules and prohibitions for priests in carrying out duties. The heavy duty of the priests in protecting the kingdom and people from the threat of enemies of other countries or monsters with the magic power of gods for selected humans. That is the priest, the chosen human figure with the heavy duty of risking his life for the peace and well-being of mankind.

Ten years have passed since Hansel, wilson and lucy first met. The three friends are inseparable with magic power different from each other. Hansel, an old brown-haired young man, golden eyes and a handsome face with the ability to control fire magic. Lucy, a plain young woman with brown hair and a sweet face has healing abilities as well as wilson, a bespectacled young man with cute eyes and a flat face with the unique ability to create a barrier. Although different, the three of them become supporters of each other and complement each other well. Until the three of them properly stood side by side before the king of the most glorious athian kingdom to be ordained as the priest of the athian kingdom.

"young priests are the hope of this country and the light of this kingdom, rise up and be the guide for the nation and people of the future" the king said with dignity before placing a badge with gold on all the graduates.

The king placed a badge that was an official emblem for the priests and was recognized as the official priest of the kingdom. The king continued to attach badges to each graduate until it was Hansel's turn. Hansel stood up nervous and sweating. He was unable to look into the eyes of the king whom he greatly admired. Seeing Hansel's face made the king smile and put a badge on him and then move on to wilson, lucy and continue until the last graduate and the ordination ceremony have been completed. All the graduates came out in an orderly manner from the palace. They came out tired from having to stand from morning until sunset. However, their happiness and joy could not be hidden nor could the faithful families wait before the palace gates.

The fathers, mothers and relatives met each of the graduates and hugged them tightly. Wilson's father and mother ran to Wilson and hugged him tightly.wilson showed his badge to both of them with pride.Wilson's parents cried happily and continued to say that they were really proud of wilson. they are proud that a poor fisherman's son was able to graduate so incredibly. Pride is also shown by the grandmother of Lucy. Lucy was only cared for by her grandmother because her parents were dead. Lucy is lucky enough to still have a family that loves her. Hansel, on the other hand, had lost all his family members since childhood he became a waitress in a clothing store in the center of the capital city of Axitia for Hansel, being able to enter and study in the priest academy alone was a miracle.

hansel smiled at wilson and lucy before leaving them with a few tears. He walked slowly and more and more away from the palace. Hansel is a carefree child, always laughing, has a positive and kind aura, very good. All Hansel friends like him because he is always able to provide enthusiasm and happiness for those who are sad and down. However, who can be the light of happiness and fire of spirit for Hansel when he is sad. Hansel's cries grew heavier and he felt an excruciating pain in his left chest. Hansel began to run and run until a hand held his left shoulder to stop Hansel. He looked up and saw wilson and lucy smiling at him.

"we may not be your biological family but whatever it is you are our family, my brother, congratulations on your graduation" said wilson hugging Hansel as well as lucy who had sobbed. Those words and hugs made Hansel cry very loudly while tightly hugging wilson and lucy. He continuously thanked them in a stammered voice.Everyone there looked at them with great joy because they knew how hard and difficult it was to graduate from the academy. Everyone in the kingdom knows how every graduate has worked so hard and every one of them deserves recognition especially from loved ones.

wilson rubbed Hansel and lucy's tears and smiled and said that from now on the three of them will always be together.The three of them are family and the family will not be separated by anything. Wilson's words were encouraging and gave Hansel a new spirit. The three of them stared at each other and laughed together releasing all the happiness in their hearts.They kept laughing until a palace priest approached the three of them. the priest said that the three of them got a mission from the king and had to report tomorrow. Of course the priest was also puzzled as to why the new graduate could get a mission directly from the king but, he simply relayed the message and asked hansel, wilson and lucy to directly face the king. Not to forget also the priest of the palace gave a paper scroll with a king seal. Wilson holding this scroll then thanked the palace priest before he went back to the palace. wilson also asks Hansel and lucy to rest because wilson knows that the mission of the king is never easy. But, he hoped that at least this mission did not risk their lives.

The morning had come, they had gathered before the gates of the great palace of aksitia.a large palace with many towers and an entire white building with roofs made of orange pottery. Even though they had just arrived yesterday, this vast grand palace still remained intimidating. Likewise, the gate guards served without a smile and full of assertiveness.The guards had been watching hansel, wilson and lucy with a look. Their piercing gazes made these three young priests disinclined to enter the palace gates. Slowly they passed through the gate guards and met the palace priest.In contrast to the guards, the palace priest is in charge of guarding the inside of the palace.they are more friendly and also often accompany royal guests. Priest palaces were one of the most desirable priest jobs in the entire Athian kingdom because these priests were in a safe place and earning great wages.

A large white staircase made of marble with a handle made of gold is between the dance hall and the hall. Hansel walked first followed by wilson and lucy. Hansel was very curious about the mission that the king would give to the three of them.wilson had said that the mission of the king will never be easy and it makes Hansel more excited. He believes that this mission will be extraordinary.

the priest of the palace arrived first in front of the palace hall door.he said something to the priest of the palace of the hall guard before the guards opened the door and let hansel, wilson and lucy enter. The door opened and featured a magnificent palace hall with huge white pillars on the left and right. The hall was enormous even twice as big as the dance hall. on the left and right of the room there are large windows with colorful glass typical velmier.on the other side of the room there are two large throne chairs lined with gold with intricate carvings. The chair was so magnificent, yet what occupied it was much more magnificent.the king and queen of the athian kingdom sat there with great dignity and an extraordinary aura. Just by looking at them can make Hansel, wilson and lucy feel the pressure of overwhelming force.

the three of them continued walking in front of the king and queen then kneeled respectfully. The king continued to watch carefully each one of them. Whether Hansel, wilson or lucy did not escape the look in the eye of the investigating king from head to toe. Hansel peeked a little and saw the look on the king's face was unpredictable. for a moment the king looked dissatisfied but in the end the king smiled and nodded his head.The king looked at the queen and the queen smiled as she nodded her head in agreement.

"hansel, wilson and lucy stand up, I have a special request for the three of you" the king said with a serious look replacing the smile that had suddenly disappeared.

the king conveyed this special mission to them very clearly. He asks Hansel, wilson and lucy to go to the village of hylas in the north of the athian kingdom to recruit the strongest priest. A revered priest of legend, the strongest priest of the ten strongest priests in the entire world.the strongest priest of the strongest priest in all the kingdoms and countries of this world. a tough and challenging mission even though the king said that this mission does not need any strength and will not threaten life, despite worry and anxiety, this mission does not need any power, in the end the three of them supported this mission with incredible wages.In addition to being paid handsomely, their ranks would also rise directly without going through the test.

This meeting was over and the king was very pleased with the decision of the three of them. Hansel, wilson and lucy stood up and bowed respectfully before retreating. wilson and lucy limp along in dismay at the mission while Hansel excitedly continues to talk about how much he looks forward to the mission. Hansel and Wilson parted ways with Lucy after they promised to meet at the city gates the next morning. Hansel currently lives in the home of Wilson because the clothing store where he worked used to refuse hansel to return to live there even though this situation seems not to wear, although the situation is not wearing, hansel is very grateful to be able to stay at Wilson's house. Hansel had met his parents for the first time and was shocked when his father and mother treated Hansel so well. he felt very welcomed and felt the affection of parents who had never felt.

today was a pleasure for Hansel, he had a wonderful mission from the king. He was also given the opportunity to live in the Wilson house with all the family warmth that he had never felt. Hansel was also given a private room with a padded mattress and full equipment. Without lingering, Hansel immediately jumped on the bed and in the blink of an eye he fell asleep. Hansel smiled little in his sleep looking forward to tomorrow which would be the beginning of a great journey towards the village of hylas, a small village far north of the athian kingdom.
