//------------------------------// // Summary The History // Story: The Adventures Begin // by Dragon Shimmer //------------------------------// The Team sets the campfire to rest. Afterward, they start to cook soup using the material that Matt had stolen from the Volcano's tent's food storage. Natalie knows that, and she is chasing after Matt everywhere.  Sunset smiles at them, "That reminds me of when I raided Celestia's kitchen," she drinks some of the soup, "Man, it will be good when I come back, but also will be sad to say goodbye to you all."  In reply, Lance points the chopsticks at Sunset and says, "If you are able to go home, or if you are not, then you should stay with us." Sunset smirked.   "Hush you, Lance," Sunset waves her hoof at Lance, "I have to stay here for a while here and you tease me like that?" Lance just takes more soup for Sunset, Sunset sighs, "Fine, I guess I have to stay here a little while. Anyway -" Sunset can't finish the sentence due to Natalie and Matt wrestling each other. "You two should stop fighting, please." Natalie and Matt stop wrestling.   "Fine," Natalie gets out of Matt's back. "But you shouldn't steal anything again," Natalie points at Matt as he nods.   "Fine," Matt says when he comes close to the fire camp, "but I don't think I can't steal again," Matt is smug toward Natalie, making her angry.  "Anyway," Sunset takes some of the soup, "Just a question for you three," The trio turns their attention to Sunset, "What will we do when we complete this journey?" Sunset drink some soup, "I'm afraid that if we can't live like this, right?  "I'm sorry, but I will continue to go out," Matt says to Sunset, "I just want to get to know more about the world, I want to explore more," Matt raises his sword to the sky.   "I will follow Matt to explore the world too," Natalie rubs her fingers together, making Lance and Sunset look at her with that look of admiration. "What does that look mean? I want to beat Sunset in magic," Natalie says with a jealous tone, making Sunset laugh.  "Silly," Sunset waves her hoof to deny, "You can win me anytime you want." That sentence makes Natalie's face red like a tomato. "Could you please calm down, or-" Sunset takes out the wooden staff, "I will knock you out in the most violent way possible," Natalie's face turns pale immediately, "Honestly, I don't know what to do when I complete this journey." Sunset closes her eye and sighs.   "When I complete this journey, I decide to go to the military to improve my skill," Lance takes out the coffee flour and a cup, "In your case, Sunset, you can be a teacher." Sunset deadpanned when hearing that sentence, "What? You can lie to everyone that you are a robot, not biology stuff," "Like if I can -" Sunset gets cut off when a hand pats her shoulder.  Turn her head behind, she sees Eldaro standing behind her. Eldaro joins the campfire along with Sabrina, they sit around the Team.   "Sorry for disturbing you, but what are you discussing," Eldaro puts some food material into the soup pot, "and I can punish Matt for stealing my food storage," Matt turns his head away from Eldaro and whistles.   "Well, just a small discussion about the something," Sunset creates a dragon fire, "Hope that you don't mind,"   "I don't mind," Eldaro start taking the food to the bowl, "At least this dimension pocket spell is the thing I like most,"   "Geez, Eldaro. You really don't know how to make others laugh," Sabrina takes out the boomerang, "Anyway, you can teach some of the magic for our school, Black Mage."  "No, thanks. And why am I suddenly changed into that title?" Sunset stares at Sabrina, "Did you just talk to anyone about something?"   "Why should I care about that?" Sabrina grins, "That title is my people's gift for you," Sunset facehoofs.  "Fine, maybe I should accept that," Sunset points at the Hydra, "At least my appearance is not revealed yet."   "Someday," Sabrina points at Sunset, "I will make your secret being revealed."   Sunset waves her staff for disagreeing, "No and no," then she plugs the staff on the ground, "Anyway, I just wondering what will I do when I complete this journey."   "Like I say, being our teacher," Sabrina eats the soup while waving her left hand to invite Sunset, "You can be our professor of magic. Don't worry, I will pay you a good salary,"  "Still a no, I am rather free to research the magic without anyone's control," Sunset continues to eat the soup, "Besides what point to keep a dangerous mage like me?"  Sabrina tries to deny, "Nonsense, you are not dangerous. That just our people scared of you," she takes out a notebook, "but you don't care that fame anyway, we just want to -" Sabrina is going to push more to persuade Sunset but Eldaro puts his hand in front of Sabrina and shakes his head. Sabrina nods her head for understanding.   Eldaro says, "You four should go back to the campsite. You are going to go inside that portal tomorrow anyway, right?" he points at the portal, "You should have full energy to take on the demon. Don't worry, I will support you as far as I can," The trio goes back to the tent but Sunset still stays at the tent.  "Well, maybe I should stay here a little longer," Sunset rubs her head, "Because... I don't know anything about this country." Eldaro facepalms, while Sabrina grins.   Sabrina is going to talk but Eldaro puts his hand to her mouth, make her silent. Eldaro starts eating the soup as Sabrina glares at him.   "Fine, I will summarize as short as you can." Eldaro drinks some water, " Make sure that you don't get confused about this."   "Please do," Sunset rubs her head.   History of Earth(en) Four hundred years ago, a dictatorial king was ruling the country named Valar. He implemented a corvée system. His focus was to build the military at the expense of all else. Because of this, starvation gripped the people. They tried to find a way to escape this country to go abroad for a better life. But whenever people tried to leave the country, they would get executed by him.  Having enough governance from him, many people rise up and fight against his military and government. Many revolutions were broken out to take over his kingdom and government. But many have failed, from father to son, warriors to master, down to all their ancestors. All effort has been futile. Everyone is in despair, the countries become chaos.  But two people, a man, and a woman, both were trying to free the people in the land. For they both sort of purpose is to free the land. One is for the promise, another one is for the people. As they both created a final revolution, they decided to fight against the king, whatever the cost.   Thirty years of the revolution, many soldiers have sacrificed, many bloods have shred but with the iron will, all the cost is worth it. The revolution was successful. After the revolution, the mysterious man disappeared, leaving the woman to rule the kingdom alone and open a peaceful era until now.    "... So, what is the first queen name?" Sunset rubs her chin to confused    "Her name is Aria and she is known as the Master of the dark spells," Sabrina eats the soup, "And she has a weird way to choose the next ruler though. And that way still applies until now."  Sunset asks, "So what is that test?"  "National secret," Sabrina shakes her head "I won't spoil this thing,"      "Okay, I want to ask another thing," Sunset takes the food, "You know who that man is?" Eldaro sighs, "There is no information about that man, he did not even reveal himself when leading the revolution," Eldaro takes out the book, "But some of the records said, "When the revolution over, the man reveals as a white dragon and fly away," Sunset has taken back by this, she is surprised, "But some say he just a person who wants to free the land, so when he the revolution success, he completes his mission. Then he blends into the people and starts the retired life," Eldaro flips the page. "But whatever he is, whoever he is, the people still know his name, and his name is Whitty. What a strange name, huh?"    "So... that's why your country's flag is the dragon symbol right?" Sunset asks with a nervous tone.   "Correct, see that flag." Sabrina points at the flag that has a dragon in a shield decoration, "It is our ensign. to remember that man who leads the revolution, and to show the strength of our country and show that we want peace."   "I see,... " Sunset stands up, "Sorry, I feel tired now. See you tomorrow," She goes back to with a lot of questions with Whitty.  "What's wrong with her?" Sabrina turns to Eldaro and he simply shakes his head for have no idea    Sunset goes to the sleeping tent with a lot of questions about the dragon. On the way to the sleeping tent, she got cheered by many people around but she doesn't care about that. Sleeping tent By the time Sunset enters the sleeping tent, the trio of her team is already asleep, make her smile at them. Sunset sighs and takes a spot carefully, casting a spell to make sure that no one can take off her hat and coat. Lies down and inhales, she is ready and closes her eyes. Inside Sunset's body   Sunset opens her eyes and looks around, she sees a familiar dragon head is on her belly and sleeping. Sunset rolls her eyes and starts poking the dragon to make the dragon awake.  "Why did you put your head on my belly?" Sunset asks, and the dragon smirks, "That is not your pillow,"  "Because I like it, that's all."    Sunset sighs, "Fine, I can't stop you anyway," Sunset start to look at the dragon eye and asks, " I ask you something,"   "What is it? Is that some kind of new "spell" that you just discovered?" Whitty teases, making Sunset roll her eyes.  "Not a magic question this time," Sunset waves her hoof to show deny, "I just ask you about you and this country,"   "Meh, I just live in this country for one hundred years ." Whitty lies, "Nothing special about me and this country anyway."  "Then why is your name printed in history books?" Sunset says in a hard tone, making Whitty's eyes widen. "Did you lead a thirty-year revolution for a promise, right?" Whitty turns his head away from Sunset. "Don't be like that, Eldaro and Sabrina just told me the history of their country, and your name is marked as a legend. Any excuse?"   "So you know many things right?" Whitty turns  his head to Sunset, "And bet that you want to know more?"   "Please do. I just want to know more about you." Sunset's sentence makes Whitty smile.   "I see, then you have to do this thing," Whitty stands up and takes a walk away from Sunset a distance, "You have to defeat me," Whitty raises his wings, "And show me you will defeat me again,"  Sunset hears that and she starts standing up by two back hooves, she knows that he is not joking and takes out the wooden staff, "Hope that you are ready,"   Whitty breathes a fireball to Sunset. Sunset teleports to dodge. Whitty keeps breathing the fireball to Sunset, Sunset keeps teleporting to dodge his fireballs and her staff is on fire. Whitty sees that as Sunset teleports again, he waves his claw behind him and manages to block the "Wyvern Slash" from Sunset without looking. Sunset's eyes widen as Whitty grins at her. "I will win this battle."
