The Thousand Year Dynasty
Anthology 17

The next day, it appears Yvvone was already in the tent when Luque just woke up from his sleep. Rafa was nowhere to be seen on his bed.

The two of them, Luque and Rafa live in Aksa and Nata's tent. Luque slept in Aksa's bed, and Rafa slept in Nata's bed. While their own tent located right next to it was left empty.

"Morning, Miss Yvvone. Where's Rafa?" asked Luque who looked half sleepy. Sitting on a chair next to Yvvone who was moving pictures from his Smartphone to Aksa Laptop.

Aksa has taught Lily, Yvvone, Rafa, and Couran the basic ways of using her Laptop.

"August, Miss Primaval. Rafa was picking up supplies of food and drinks in Mr. Couran's tent," Yvvone replied half-indifferently. "He looks excited today. What did you say to him last night? Now I'm becoming more and more convinced that human beings are easy to change" he said later.

"It's not easy to change, but good speech can change a person's life." Luque replied to Yvvone's words.

"Yes, maybe sometime I will try it on the Morra one," said Yvvone with a finger that looks busy on the laptop.

"Morning, all," suddenly appeared Rafa from behind the tent door with a bag in his hand.

"You look excited this morning" said Luque, greeting him back.

"All thanks to you, Miss Luque," Rafa replied later.

"Well, did you call Primaval by name, Miss Rafa? There is something strange indeed today," said Yvvone who seemed really amazed to see Rafa could change in just one night.

"And after this, it'll make you warm up even more" Luque said later, pointing to Rafa, "and Miss Yvvone will see things getting weird" he added with a smile.

"meaning?" Rafa looked confused as he put his fist earlier into a small closet at the end of the tent.

"I think it's time to fulfill my promise to Aksa" Luque replied later.

"Your Promise? What is it, Miss Luque?" Rafa looks confused.

"I'll return your right arm as you were," Luque replied then with a broad smile on his lips.

"Oh, really?" Rafa stammered in surprise.

"REally?!" Almost simultaneously with Rafa, Yvvone half shouted after hearing Luque say that.

"really. Stand here" said Luque, asking Rafa to come closer.

"You mean, you're gonna do it now?" asked Luque who was still trying to prepare himself to get back his left hand.

"Yes, now. Stand here," call Luque once more.

"Oh, all right." In a hurry, Rafa stood at the spot that Luque had pointed at.

"In the meantime, I have to perpetuate this incident, Miss Primaval." Soon Yvvone took his Smartphone and started recording images as Aksa had taught him before.

"It's up to you" Luque said. "Well, I'll start, Miss Rafa." And Luque immediately took a position in front of Rafa.

"Yes, I'm ready, Miss Luque," said Rafa advancing his right arm while closing his eyes with a face like he was holding back, preparing to anticipate if the magic hurt.

Then Luque seemed to start chanting something. And three pieces of magic circles began to appear glowing around his right arm. Light-sparkling light purple.

Then Luque raised his right hand forward towards Rafa. And barely dissected, the ground where Rafa was standing began to appear a magic circle that seemed to shine dazzlingly.

And before long Rafa's right arm began to glow a bright blue. Then, as if being pulled forward, the beam began to look elongated.

Meanwhile, Rafa felt a strange sensation tickling on his right arm. Starting from the base of his broken arm, the tickling sensation runs up to the tip of his finger that should no longer exist.

And after the light was gone, it was seen that Rafa's right arm had returned intact as usual.

Rafa only fell silent to see his left arm that returned intact by twitching his eyes repeatedly, while starting to move his fingers one by one.

"For the sake of the gods." suddenly Couran's voice came from the direction of the tent door. Almost at the same time with the noise of several books falling from his grasp. "What magic was that?" he asked with a face that looked like he had just seen a ghost.

"Wait a minute, Primaval?! The magic circle pattern and the purple color were the usual ones I saw on the Arcane stone magic formation. Don't tell me that magic was time magic?!" Yvvone exclaimed as he jumped up from his chair.

Luque smiled in response to Yvvone's guess.

"You. You can use Time magic, Primaval?" Yvvone seems to be losing control. "This is amazing. Can you, I mean you, no, I mean you, tell me how to trigger that magic circle like magic formation?" the tanyanya then looks passionate.

"No. I'm not going to talk about magic any more than this. I mean, we're not gonna talk about this magic any more than this. Understood?" luque then looked around at Rafa, Yvvone, and Couran.

"Yeah, I understand." Couran sounded straight out in reply.

While Rafa just nodded, still trying to digest that now his right arm has returned intact.

"I'm not going to talk about this magic of your origin, at least tell me about how it works and how you can use magic that no living thing in this world is capable of using," sahut Yvvone is increasingly looking passionate. "Yes, unless you are, of course," he added later.

"Well, I'll tell you later, but don't expect too much." Luque gave an answer to Yvvone's request.

"I see," replied Yvvone who looked much more courteous to Luque, than before.

"Thank you, Miss Luque," said Rafa who suddenly hugged Luque. It made Luque almost fall because he was not ready.

And then the four of them sat down after Rafa finished making four glasses of warm tea and prepared some snacks, while starting to tell him about the magic of time, as well as the reason why Luque healed Rafa's arm.

"So what is the possibility of your power coming from Mahan Staan?" couran asked then after hearing the story of where Luque had gotten his hands on that ability.

"Come, Mr. Couran. I don't understand either," Luque only shook his head lightly.

"But it remains unbelievable, that you are not only controlling the Soul Flow, but controlling the time flow of an object." Yvvone seemed to be in disbelief. "Did you know all this time that the things you've changed have a certain impact at some point?" ask again.

"What do you mean are the things I've been updating, getting damaged or getting younger and then disappearing?" asked Luque who only got the nod from Yvvone in response. "So far I've never found anything like it. Or perhaps, at least the impact of my magic lasted for approximately three rutus years," he replied later.

"Are there any special restrictions or rules in using magic?" Yvvone still asked enthusiastically.

"I have not marked it specifically. But to restore the time of an object, it can only be done in less than one year. The rest, can't. I've tried it before" Luque replied later. "At least that's what I know so far. Because honestly I never really tried it with all my might," he added.

"One year has included something extraordinary," said Rafa who had just quietly listened.

"Obviously, knowing someone can intervene in the flow of time in an object alone is already quite remarkable, Miss Rafa." Couran immediately chimed in on Rafa's words that sounded like an understatement.

"You're wrong, Mr. Couran. This is a natural wonder" Yvvone said quickly. "Because nothing can ever change the flow of time in this world. Even the workings of the Arcane stone is only to stop time when doing space displacement. Not change, even reverse it as Primaval has done," he explained later.

"Oh, right too. I just realized it, Miss Yvvone," replied Couran while nodding.

"But even so, the most important thing is, don't say anything about this time magic to anyone." Luque. "Because I've been hiding it for hundreds of years, so please don't ruin it" he added.

"I get it, Primaval." Couran and Rafa answered almost simultaneously. Yvvone nodded silently.

"All right then." Suddenly Rafa stood up to everyone's surprise, "Because now I'm a new Rafa, then I'll start doing my job again. And apologize to the others for being a burden for this month." Rafa looked excited as he raised his fist upwards.

"That's great, Miss Rafa."

One afternoon at the bar where Luna worked seemed to be filled with many people. The day after news of Rafa's healed arm spread.

Then Livia, Fla, and the Fire Star members who were in the Middle City, had the idea to hold a small celebration for Rafa. It is also a temporary relief of all the problems that are happening in the region.

The event was attended by several Fire Star members who were not only from the Central City headquarters, but several other wilayh that allowed to attend.

Then some friends who live around the city of Central, such as Fla, Livia, Luke, and James. Also Couran, Haldin, Ellian, and Katarina, who at once they use as a place for reunion.

The rest are Luna, Seigfried, Rafa, Yvvone and Luque.

"You do indeed fit your reputation, Primaval. It was hard to believe there was healing magic up to this level," asked Ende who looked enthusiastically speaking to Luque from one of the seats across from the table where Luque's seat was.

"True, as a healer, we were really amazed." This time Diana who added from the chair right next to Luque sat down.

"I'm so jealous of that ability." Thomas who stood behind Diana, chimed in.

"You're too complimentary, this is a talent I've had since childhood, not one I've worked for. So it's much better for you to be an expert in your field because of the results of your hard work so far" Luque said, trying to reject the praise of the Fire Star members.

"You're too low, Primaval." - Diana quickly chimed.

"Fixed talent is a part of us, Primaval. So even though it is not something that is sought, it is still our own excess" said Ende agreed to Diana's speech.

"But my magic is not perfect. I can only heal wounds that have just happened," Luque replied later. "So sorry, Luke. When you have the thought of asking me to heal you as well, it seems like I will let you down. I can't heal your arms and legs" he said, looking down at Luke, who appeared to be standing next to Thomas.

"Oh, no, Primaval. You don't have to apologize for that. I don't have such a thought. I am used to this limitation. Maybe I will even have trouble adjusting if suddenly my hands and feet are back in one piece" Luke replied in a hurry. The other responded with a laugh.

"Good night, everybody!" Suddenly emerged from the entrance with a shout.

"Oh, Mr. Edward," said Shuri who was sitting on a chair at the table next to Rafa's table.

"I brought something to balance your drinks" said Edward as he placed the parcels in his hands on the table in the middle of the room. Which immediately moved almost everyone to stand up from their seats and rode to the middle table.

"Well, thank you, Mr. Edward. You are indeed the greatest" said Sigurd after finding several boxes of yellow and green bread.

"Oh, Miss Rafa. Congratulations, yes." Edward seemed to approach Rafa and grabbed both of his hands. "I was very happy when I heard the news yesterday" he continued, holding Rafa's hands tightly together.

"Thank you, Mr. Edward. You do not need to bring food like that all," replied Rafa who felt a little hesitant to the kindness done by Edward.

"It's okay, Miss Rafa. After all now is a good time to celebrate something and help those people relax a little, in the midst of the problems they have faced lately" Edward said.

"You are a good man, Mr. Edward. Thank you," Rafa replied later.

"No need" Edward replied, patting Rafa on the shoulder. "Well, I'll say hello and thank you to the Primaval, first. Come tomorrow to the tavern" he added, walking to Luque's place.

"Well, Mr. Edward," replied Rafa quickly.

"Hey, Morra. How are you?" greeting Yvvone upon seeing Segfried behind the Bartender's desk, was storing a few drinking glasses into the shelf.

Seigfried seemed to be indifferent to Yvvone's greeting. He was still busy keeping the glass on the shelf, as if he had heard nothing.

"Hey, why are you just quiet? Are you having a stomachache?" sahut Yvvone again tried to get the attention of Seigfried.

"Why are you guys making an event at this place? Bother me." said Segfried who this time began to wipe the edge of the Bartender table in front of Yvvone.

"Why is that?" asked Yvvone who looked completely confused.

"It's clear that you're going to make this room dirty. And because of that, I had to work more to clean it up," replied Segfried who was starting to look sewot.

"You don't need to worry. I'm sure if it's just this, you can do it" Yvvone said suddenly. "I know you have the potential and the ability to do it and get it done quickly and well" he continued, which he meant to Seigfried.

"What are you talking about, Elf? Have you gone crazy? Or are you drunk now?" seigfried looks confused. And then walking away, Yvvone headed to the other end of the room.

"It seems like the kind words and words that Primaval had taught before, did not apply to Morra," said Yvvone, as Seigfried was no longer in front of him.

"You look like anything, the Primaval is really pretty amazing." Ellian spoke from the table at the end of the room sitting around the table with Couran, Haldin, and Katarina.

"True, I just almost died when I saw Miss Rafa's arm suddenly return as usual just like that" replied Couran who was seen shaking slowly while crossing his arms to the front of the chest.

"The gods are not just silent." Katarina interjected while still staring at the figure of Rafa who was talking to Fla and Livia from a distance.

"By the way, why are you wearing a belt to store a magic wand, Kat? Didn't the Druids not use a magic wand?" couran asked suddenly, which made Haldin choke suddenly in the middle of his drink.

"Oh, this? It's-it's okay." Katarina simply answered quickly with a slight stammer. While it looked Ellian only chuckled little looking at it.

"You are indeed sometimes very strange" said Couran later, without realizing there was something strange going on.

.

"What's? You guys married? I'm sorry for being a loser the last month" Rafa said after Licia and Fla told him about the wedding they had a few days ago.

"It's okay, Miss Rafa. We understand, we also apologize for not telling you, because we were afraid that news of our marriage would make you worse" Fla replied later trying to explain.

"But I'm really grateful, that you're okay" said Livia, who was very relieved. "And. and. and your arms are back to the way they were, I'm so happy" he added, looking glassy.

"Thank you, Livia." Rafa patted Livia's back.

"So how does it feel, Miss Rafa?" axel asked then, who looked as if he had just approached after picking up Edward's bread.

"It feels a little strange" replied Rafa as he moved his arm and fingers on his left hand. "But this is really something really extraordinary" he added.

"Meaning now I should be more alert when we rehearse the match," Axel replied later, responding with a laugh from the others.

"But your idea of having this event for me, really makes me very happy. Thank you." Thank you." Rafa once again thanks Livia, Fla, and some of the Fire Star members.

"There's no need to feel awkward, Miss Rafa. Actually this is also the reason we make a party to be able to have fun in the midst of problems that are now happening." Sigurd spoke from Axel's arms while sounding joking.

"Hopefully all these things pass quickly" Rafa replied later.

Suddenly as they were conversing, there was a loud explosion that roared almost all over the city and shocked everyone.

"What sound, is that?" Some people ask the same thing, almost simultaneously.

"explosions?"

And before long the sound of sirens alaram in each guard tower on the outskirts of the city began to sound one by one. Which makes the faces that were cheerful start to speak become worried and afraid.

Meanwhile, Lily, who was seen meditating with five Yllgarian Wise in a building in Yllgarian Village inside Sekai Forest, suddenly opened her eyes as if she was being startled by something.

"They attacked" said Lily who sounded worried.

"Darkness from the east" said Golus the Yllgarian bull from next to Lily.

"I think we should move immediately" said Vurg the Yllgarian Owl.

"right."

A Morra woman was seen in a Steam Train car with her son, from the South City Upper Station on her way to the North City.

The sky to the west still looks quite bright, even though the sun suddenly disappears behind the West side cliff.

"Already, you can not eat more sweets, your throat can hurt later," said the woman Morra forbid the child.

"But, ma'am, I've never tried this one before" replied the boy who was trying to find a reason to be able to eat other sweets.

"There's still tomorrow. The sweets can be stored until tomorrow" replied the mother who did not change her decision.

"But.." whined the child later.

"Already, no but-but," cut the mother firmly.

"Children are like that sometimes Madam" said a Morra man sitting right in front of the mother and child.

"really. Though it's been two sweets that he spent all day," said the mother while looking at her son who looks angry and upset staring out the window of the train.

"Are you also from the Southern City?" The Morra man asked continuing.

"True, we are from the Southern City about to head to the Northern City" the mother replied.

"Do you live in the North City?"

"really. Yesterday we were visiting my sister's house in the Southern City. You alone?" The mother asked back.

"I live in the South City. Now he was going to the city of Central to meet a friend" the Morra man replied. "I heard the matter with the Elbrasta region is worsening, is the Northern City alright?" tanyanya.

"Just like the Southern City, the Northern City also had little impact with the problems occurring on the outer side of the gate wall," said the mother while looking back at her son who was seen starting to cool to see the scenery outside the train window. I started to forget about the previous sweets

"I think we should be grateful that the area on the inner side of the cliff wall is safe from..."

Not yet Morra's man finished talking, suddenly the train's locomotive head exploded. And because the train was in a state of running, the force from the explosion caused the rest of the passenger cars behind it to be thrown off the track, and rolled wildly.
