Year 2851 | Month 3 | Day 26
After the discussions with the Class S magicians come to an end, which takes longer than I thought it would, I find myself with a good chunk of free time until the plan begins. Specifically a few days to myself.
And during those days several other things happen. Some of which I am very happy about.
First off, the skeleton finally decides to free my parents. Something about the war being so close to an end that he doesn’t see the need to keep them locked up anymore.
Which makes sense. After all, even if I don’t fight in the war at this point it will still end with our victory. And I’m very determined to fight the doctor. So whether they’re locked up or not won’t change my plans.
I think this might be one of the first times I’ve felt even the slightest shred of gratitude towards him.
Other than that, the Undying Caverns ends up playing host to a few more guests. Including but not limited to the parents of some of my friends.
The reason we didn’t bring all of their parents here was because of the war and all, so there’s no reason for them not to at least visit now that we’re on the same side of the war. And the team is very happy about this new set of events.
And with all of this going on, I end up spending the next few days just relaxing with my family and friends. Taking the time off from experimenting and fighting to do so. To play games with them. Talk with them. Catch up with them.
To introduce my family to my friends. And to make up for lost time with them all.
As for the other Class S magicians during this time? Most of them have gone off to their own nations to deal with matters at home. Seeing as time isn’t just stopping simply because they’re not home or anything.
Even Juan heads back to Natra to handle a few things there. Although he won’t say what things.
But I don’t really care what he’s doing. At this point I trust him more than I trust the skeleton.
Juan hasn’t ever done anything to hurt me after all. Unlike the skeleton who turned me into a vampire and locked away my parents. All without a single say from me.
After the rest period – during which I hear the doctor has just been fleeing everywhere, especially since one of the Class S magicians actually did head straight to him to back up the others instead of taking this little break – all of the Class S magicians return. With each one of them ready for their own little assignments for the war.
Most of them will be heading to the Collective Kingdom’s territory, whether within the Kingdom of the Fallen or on the mainland continent itself. But a couple will be going to the doctor with me.
Amongst them all, the skeleton will be fighting against the Collective Kingdoms within the Kingdom of the Fallen, Juan will be following me to the doctor in the Barren Pass, and Archibald has already headed over towards the doctor before any of us took our break. Where he plans to freeze those little ice caverns the doctor has been hiding in solid to block his safe places.
Next up are Katherine and the newly advanced Class S magician, both of whom are heading towards the Collective Kingdoms territory on the mainland.
Leaving just one Class S magician who won’t be participating in the war. However, the man will be staying behind in the Kingdom of the Fallen to heal our people.
Leith. Which is a bit surprising, but that’s apparently why he came here.
To heal the injured here since he knew we were absolutely going to win at this point.
Although another reason for him coming was apparently to see me for some reason. One I’m not absolutely certain about.
He says it is just curiosity to see an immortal, but I’m not really sure what’s going on in his head.
Either way, he can’t actually harm me. And he wouldn’t dare do anything with the skeleton watching over the Kingdom of the Fallen. So it should be fine to let him heal people.
As for the people themselves? The soldiers and lower Class magicians amongst the many nations on our side? They are all assigned to different Class S magicians to join in their separate missions.
Albeit without any of them being assigned to the Class S magicians or me going to fight the doctor. Seeing as the doctor would just slaughter them all.
Plus the doctor doesn’t actually have any soldiers of his own. So there isn’t all that much reason for them to join.
And his teleportation spells would cause a major problem with bringing an army anyways. Specifically how he could just teleport in and destroy the army’s supplies or kill the leading officers.
All he has to do is manage to give the Class S magicians chasing him the slip for even a brief moment after all.
But before anyone heads anywhere – except Archibald who is already long gone – we have one last meeting within the Undying Caverns. One that even the three Class S magicians chasing the doctor attend through video call.
A meeting where we share intel with each other one last time before what hopefully is the last mission of the war begins.
Although not all that much actually happens at the meeting, what with everyone keeping up to date with their own sources of intel. So it mostly ends up being a last chance to make sure everyone is on the same page before the mission begins.
And after the meeting ends, we all begin to make our last minute preparations to leave.
Which for me means heading over to see my friends and family one last time before going to the Barren Pass.
