[Terra's First City.]
Aaron, Protean and Emily appeared in front of a huge gate after clearing the spies on their back.
Emily stared at the gate with utter fascination and confusion, she then turned to Aaron In mild Surprise.
"Where are we?" She asked.
Aaron chuckled, and walked towards the gate. When the two guys guarding the gate saw them, their faces brightened up with huge smiles plastered on their faces.
They quickly walked up to them.
"My King! You're finally back!!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Emily observed the two men and exclaimed in shock; "Rob?! Is this you?!"
"Yes, Miss Emily."
Rob gestured to the gate, all these are all thanks to the King, He created these, gave us gold coins to get anything that'll be needed... As for the moment, the small Village you knew is no more... Our village is now a city, which can house thousands of people... All the refugees, are being brought in, but none will enter without the test."
"Test?" Emily was confused.
"Come on, Emily. You'll know everything ones you're inside... As I said, your father is waiting."
Aaron smiled at her, and walked towards the 10 meters gate, which automatically opened... He then walked inside, with Emily, and Protean; leaving Rob and the other guy behind.

In the center of the city, a silver Castle was built by the best craftsmen, and builders in the whole World, Dwarves... This small humans will do anything if given Gold Coins, and in matter of two days, the Castle was fully built and furnished... Unbelievable.
[In the throne Hall.]
Aurora sat down on a throne, which was placed on the right side of the Emperor's, and Empress's thrones.
Her gaze fixed on the two people below her.
"My Queen, we got news that Zukor is the one leading the army, and they'll reach us by Noon."
Egon said with his head bowed.
Aurora nodded, and asked; "What about our forces, and the enemy's?"
"We have a total of 200 soldiers, while the enemy has the total of 2,000." John answered.
Aurora was silent for some couple of seconds, then looked up at the two.
"We'll go with defense, the huge walls will help us in the battle."
"But my Queen, Zukor is coming with ten catapults, we don't even have one... And the people in the city will be in danger!!"
"Don't be so excited Chief Egon, I know the people are our top priority... So... Lead them to the underground bunker Aaron created."
Egon and John needed.
"Welcome the Emperor!!"
Aurora and the two men turn their heads in surprise, they stared at the double doors, which opened. Aaron and Emily walked inside.
"Aaron!!"
Aurora stood up, and quickly climbed down the stairs, rushing towards her son, more like running.
She stopped in front of him, and squat down, giving him a big motherly hug.
"How are you doing, Mum?"
Aaron asked with a smile, hugging her back.
"Good, and... Helping you take care of your city."
Aurora joked, which caused Aaron to chuckle.
"What about me, don't I deserve a hug?"
Protean asked with pouted lips, staring at the two.
"Come on now, Protean, You know I miss you."
'What the? How can a powerful warrior like her turn so timid? Even thinking I'll leave her for some title or wealth? I already have all that!!'
He stood up and walked down the stairs. He stood in front of her, and hugged her waist:
"I'll never leave you, Mum. NEVER."
He emphasized the word "Never" so she could understand, that he'll always and forever be her son.
"Thank you." Aurora smiled.
Protean stared at them in mild confusion: 'Are all mothers like this?'
BANG!!
The door flew open, with the two guards flying inside, falling in front of Aaron and Aurora.
Seeing the two figures walking inside, Aurora quickly summoned her sword, and her armor appeared on her body... She placed Aaron behind her, while her gaze fixed on the two strangers.
"Who are you?! And how did you get in here?!"
"Slow down, Queen mother... I'm Modena, the first Lord of Flash Eaters' Forest."
Modena walked towards them, and got down on one knee.
"My King, The Hell Demons are waiting for your order."
"Son?"
Aurora turned her head to Aaron, who in turn smiled at her.
"Mum, This is Modena, and... She's Rhea, the one I told you about..."
Aaron walked out from Aurora's back, and stood in front of the two. Read new chapters at empire
"Good, But..."
He looked at the two guards who slowly stood up from the ground; "Why did you break in?"
"Sorry for that, these ignorant fools said I can't enter, so I had to use Force."
"Hmm..."
Aaron thought for a moment, then snapped his fingers, the next moment, a white badge with the logo of a red sun, and Modena Engraved on it, appeared in her hand.
"Huh?"
"This will be your badge, You can use it to enter anywhere. I don't want this to repeat itself."
Modena nodded with a smile, while Aaron turned to Rhea.
"She told you everything, right?"
Rhea, who was still in her robe nodded.
Aaron then grew the Alliance circle and passed it to her:
"If you place your hand on that, you're agreeing to be my ally, and your kingdom will be my vassal state... Now Decide."
Rhea stared at the golden circle for some seconds then nodded again. She placed her palm on the circle, which shattered and entered her body.
"Done."
Aaron nodded and turned to Modena, who was still kneeling.
"Please, rise. How is Gjon and his people?"
"Your plan was successful, he will never doubt our strength again."
Modena stood up with a smile.
Aaron turned his gaze to Protean:
"Protean, It's time to summon the undead, Let's show Zukor Terra isn't to me mess with."
Protean grinned hearing his master, and took the form of the Alpha Undead.
"Let's have some fun!"
