The World Of The Venerate: Everwhite
Chapter 19 - Recruiting one of the Venerate
“Sister, stop it.. Why are you so rude.” Lucierence then commemorates Hephaestus for his remarks to Artemis.
“I'm sorry miss, my sister actually does not know how to be kind to people.” Lucerence then apologized to Artemis representing Hefaistos.
“By the way we came here is to recruit a top-level Venerate who lives in this area.” said Hefaistos, explaining their purpose in coming to the village.
“I heard that he has the ability of shooting accuracy, as well as very great reflexes.”
*
“Ah, damn... Is it possible that they are actually looking for me?” Hearing Lucierence's explanation, Artemis immediately realized that the Venerate they were looking for was her.
Artemis never thought that her existence could be heard by people outside the northern region of Lightio. Artemis ability is actually now at the level of Continent Venerate so that it can be glimpsed at any time by the Venerate who want to recruit him into a Lighthio warrior.

“Hey you.. It seems like something is strange about you.” At the same time Hefaistos felt the pressure of strong power from the woman.
Quickly the young man immediately grabbed Artemis' arm tightly and pulled her inside the village elder's place.
“Hey, what the fuck are you?” Artemis asked suddenly pulled by the young man.
“Sister, what are you doing?” Seeing this, Lucierence immediately helped Artemis release the hand of Hephaestus.
However, because Hephaestus's hand was so strong, neither could let go.
**
Hephaestus brought Artemis to the room of the village elder, who was none other than Timonar.
At that place were also seen the Lightio warriors who had come with Hefaistos and Lucierence, to meet the village elders.
“What is this Hefaistos?” Ask.
“Dad... I mean commander..The person we're looking for is this girl. I felt a strong force pressure coming from him,” Hefaistos said, explaining about Artemis by referring to the soldier as his father.
“I think you're wrong son..” Said the father of Hefaistos.
“How is it possible? You must also be able to feel that the force pressure of this girl is stronger than the level of Land Venerate.”.
“I also know.. However, the person we are looking for is not a woman..”.
“She was named Apollion Hairoll, but she was so sorry she couldn't go with us.”
“You're looking for my dad?” Artemis was shocked to hear the soldier mention his father's name.
“What's wrong with that guy?” Ask Hefaistos.
***
A short time later, Hephaestus, Lucierence and their father went to see Artemis' father in their home.
They witnessed the father of the woman had been lying weak and unconscious due to an abnormal disease she had suffered since birth.
It is the same disease as Zchaira, but to a greater extent, the man's consciousness is completely gone. Her previously black hair had turned white.
“The higher the level of a Venerate, the more severe the effects of gelaja will be obtained by him.” Said the father of Hefaistos and Lucierence.
“However, Mr. Apollion is a great man. He can even endure his illness to the level of Continent Venerate.”.
**
“Mr Timonar, what exactly happened until they searched for my father?” Ask Artemis.
“I'm sure they need top-tier Venerate to add to their combat power.”.
“The wars fought between the north were Lightio and Fuegonia, as well as the south, Machora Tira and Mormist, now dominated by the countries of that mixed race.”.
“Your father has a record of achievement in warming the speed of the Vampireman race's deportation ability and the movement speed of the Ogreman race with his reflex ability.”.
**
“Master Apollion can no longer do his job..I think this should be left to his daughter only,”, said Hefaistos, giving a suggestion.
“Stop Hefaistos.. Unlike her father, the girl still seems not ready.. Plus she has to take care of her father, so we forget it.” But his father did not want to take advice from his son.
“But what's wrong we invite the girl..”.
Hephaestus' father did not respond to his son's remarks and preferred to leave the room of Artemis' father for not arguing with the young man.
Hephaestus seemed annoyed at the attitude of his father who did not want to understand his words.
–4 September 2999–
Time passed, after the day of Hephaestus' arrival with the young man's brother and father, Artemis returned to her hunting activities.
In the middle of a vast meadow, when the sun was almost completely sunk and the human equipment at that time had been blocked by darkness, Artemis activated her powers of observation to let her know something far around her.
Artemis took one by one the arrows which she immediately launched in several directions.
With a flash the arrows he launched charged into the several white-headed hawks that were flying at high speed.
Artemis again picked up one of her arrows and quickly launched it backwards without looking in that direction when she sensed something approaching.
The target of the woman was none other than Hephaistos who had secretly approached her from behind. It was fortunate that the young man responsibly caught the arrow that shot towards him.
It turned out that after three days, Hephaestus still had not left the area. The intention of the young man was not to leave the area of Wiaminnota because he wanted to convince Artemis to join them to the war previously discussed by Timonar.
Hephaestus then approached one eagle that fell not far near him and noticed the carcass of the animal.
“Hei stupid girl...Are you too primitive to know that the animal you hunted is protected by law?” Hefaistos.
“What punishment will be given for hunting the animal?” Ask Artemis.
Hephaestus walked a little faster toward the woman and clasped her hand firmly as at their first meeting.
“His punishment is to become a soldier in war.” Hefaistos said with a serious facial expression.
“Release..” Artemis thrashed, trying hard to try to let go of the young man's hand grip that felt very strong.
The young man suddenly released a stranglehold on Artemis' hand, making the woman lose her balance.
Hephaestus quickly embraced Artemis, so that she would not fall.
Now that the eyes of the two men met, Artemis with a surprised and speechless look looked at the face of Hefaistos who seemed to act cool in front of a woman.
The moment also becomes romantic when auroral light suddenly illuminates the night sky.
“Eh, what's with the sky?” However, Artemis was astonished to see the light in the night sky, which she had not seen since she was there.
“How can this light be seen in this country? Places on the continent only the states of Fuegonia and Blueland can be seen.” Likewise with Hephaistos who was astonished to see the light, which actually can only be seen in the northern part of the world.
Unwilling to be swept away in the phenomenon, Artemis suddenly realized that Hephaistos was still embracing it.
“Hey, until when do you want to be like this?” Artemis then blushed shame because it continued to be embraced by the man.
“Let go... Shit, you're so strong... I said let go!”
“Ukh..”
Artemis thrashed to try to release the strong embrace of Hephaestus and made one of his hands suddenly punch the young man in the face.
“Ah..!” As a result, the embrace of Hephaestus was released until Artemis finally fell.
After the woman fell, Hephaestus gave her hand to help her stand up.
However, the annoyed Artemis stood alone and then left first leaving the young man alone.
