The World Of The Venerate: Everwhite
Chapter 31 - City of Work
–13 May 3024–
Returning to the present, Artemis has completed her past story when she meets Hefaistos which makes Zchaira amazed and sad at the same time.
Likewise, Megathirio who actually felt the same way, but did not show an expression of admiration to them.
“I did not expect that grandma had been alive and was in the land of Machora Tira... You have never told me mother.” Zchaira said.
“What else are you still hiding?” He asked Artemis.
“From that, I still ring about the declaration of love from Mr. Hefaistos to you mother.”
“Sister, let's stand..” Zchaira pulled her brother up, wanting to try to demonstrate the moment when she had been sharing her feelings for Artemis for years.
“Zchaira, what are you doing?” Artemis also blushed with a reddened face to see the behavior of her two children.
Although he seemed embarrassed too, but Hephaestus smiled to see his two children wanted to demonstrate it.
“Instead of you doing that, there are important things you should know as well Zchaira,” Artemis said.
“What is mom?” Zchaira became curious and stopped what she was doing.
“Listen... Megathirio is not the only brother you have.. You have three older brothers of this brother of yours and live with your father.”.
“So you mean I have four brothers?” The statement from Artemis made Zchaira wonder and wonder about it.
“Mother why didn't you say it a long time ago?” Ask Zchaira now with a serious facial expression.
Artemis then explained that when he brought the girl to the place of the sacred creatures in the north, only Megathirio was with them.
When Artemis decided to protect Zchaira from outside threats and chose to settle in the Wiaminnota area, she actually also felt very guilty to her three children for having to leave them.
The reason why the girl's mother did not say that was to make Zchaira have no strong desire to get out of the northern region.
Zchaira could only be speechless in disbelief for the sixteen years of her life she had just learned that she had a brother other than Megathirio.
“Zchaira.. Forgive mom for never saying that, but this time it's different our family will be back intact again,” said Artemis, reassuring her daughter.
“Alright, I understand..”
Zchaira prefers not to ruin the moment just to make a fuss about it. He understood the reason of Artemis, which was important that it would no longer be hidden to him.
“Hefaistos, are the kids okay?” Ask Artemis.
Hephaestus daydreamed of something, not answering when Artemis asked him.
“Hefaistos..” call Artemis again.
“Eh... Yes.. They are of course... Fine,” replied Hefaistos with a little stammering.
Hephaestus was worried about how Artemis would arrive and learned that her three children were no longer living with her and preferred to support the Venerates in the west.

Time passed, the next day their ship finally reached the area of Workyen and leaned on the riverbank.
While descending the ship with the others, Zchaira seemed surprised to see a sight she had never seen before.
“Wah... This city looks very large compared to our countryside.” Zchaira was surprised and amazed to see the city buildings on the edge of the river looked more modern than where he lived in the Wiaminnota area.
“It is still too early to be surprised.. There are still bigger cities still compared to this city..” Artemis said.
“Really?”
“Your expression is exactly like that of a girl, who also seemed surprised the first time to set foot in this area of Workyen,”, said Hefaistos, they continued their conversation by discussing a woman who was none other than Artemis, when they first saw the territory of Worken.
“OK, let's continue the following trip to the city of Workyen..”
Lucierence and Rayvor also got off the ship and led them straight to a plane.
All boarded the plane and resumed their journey about a few hours to the city of Workyen.
***
In the city of Workyen, Flophia, Rayvor's mother was in a room that was soon encountered by one of the soldiers from the Silkbar clan who seemed to want to report something.
“Sorry to disturb Madame Flophia, but we have guests,”.
“Good, I'll be there soon..”.
Flophia smiled at the report. The woman had already learned from Lucierence's earlier revelations that Artemis and her children would return from the north.
The woman was very excited to meet Artemis and the others to make a direct run out of the room.
***
“Welcome.. Eh...” Just about to welcome, Flophia was immediately surprised by the arrival of the guest who was in front of her.
***
A few hours later, the plane boarded by Zchaira and the others finally arrived above the city of Workyen.
“Kakak, step aside first.” Megathirio who sits beside the plane window is immediately removed by Zchaira, because the girl wants to see the scenery below.
“What the fuck is all this..?” Zchaira was more surprised to see the view of the city outside than when he saw the city on the river before.
Because the city looks more modern again by having buildings that rise high into the sky and close to each other.
***
Their plane then landed at an airfield, which was immediately greeted by several Lightio soldiers complete with several vehicles that will take Zchaira and others to the destination.
One by one the people on the plane came down and led by the Lightio soldiers into their vehicles.
“Oke, the residence of the Silkbar clan is near..” Hefaistos said.
Zchaira and the others continue their third journey and head to the residence of the largest clan in the area.
The vehicles they boarded then crossed into an island that became the center of the city.
Zchaira was amazed by the crowd in every corner of the city, where in every corner he passed there were many people who were doing their daily activities.
***
Their vehicles arrived in front of the residence of the Slikbar clan in the middle of the island.
The soldiers on guard opened the gates to let the vehicles in.
After being in the main courtyard of the residence their vehicles stopped and everyone in it went down.
At that place also seen Flophia who was waiting for their arrival.
“Sister Artemis.. Long time no see you.” Flophia went to Artemis and hugged her.
Artemis immediately returned the woman's embrace, feeling very long after not seeing her for a long time.
“You two must be Megathirio and Zchaira right..” Flophia said, greeting the two brothers.
Megathirio and Zchaira responded with a smile.
