3914 Arvos

"Vartin city," I said as the city came into view. I have been traveling here for

It is a big city with Peak Sky Sovereigns as its lord. Though, I am not going to stay in the city.

I am here for the teleportation gate, which will take me to the headquarters of the Arvos.

Thud!

A few minutes later, I landed in front of the city and flashed my badge, the same way Ranis would have.

The guards bowed and let me in without stopping.

A minute later, I sensed the woman coming through the gate, flashing her badge as I did.

She had been following me for days. She didn't even stop in the past day since I had entered into the territory of Avros.

As she entered the city; the runes of the city inside her began to shift, while other runes started to come out, becoming a completely different seed.

From the clear connection, it had turned extremely faint.

For the five months, I had worked on the seed. Studying the changes in their constitution and the past five days, I made an even bigger change.

Earlier, I only had saved meta-scans; with her, it was live.

I was able to test a few things and made a change according to it.

Now this seed hides deeper into her; it will be seven times stealthier than the seed earlier.

All my seeds are hard to detect, even by soul sense, but I have worked especially hard on this one.

I used my medical and runic knowledge and also the data from the scan. The Prime Aevith did on me. Creating a seed, I hope, that not even Prime wouldn't discover.

I don't know, how good they are, but I hope. They will work.

The seeds will be my greatest asset in finding out what the hell is happening in the Arvos.

If they get discovered and find out, there is forbidden power. Avros will be the last of my worries.

I pushed those thoughts and walked toward the teleportation that had called me to the headquarters directly. If I had been to Earth Sovereign, I would have needed to go to the Governor's office, but Sky Sovereign changes things.

Avros is a Sky Grade organization, and I am Sky Sovereign. One breakthrough took me to the top tier.

It comes with privileges.

Soon, I reached the gates and walked toward the second, which was for the members of the organization.

There is one, that is for Sky Sovereigns.

I flashed my badge to the gate, and it opened, and I walked toward it.

"Ranis?" I heard the feminine voice behind me, and I turned. I saw a woman with golden blond hair and dark horns above her head.

"Sky Sovereign Lidris," I greeted. Putting a respectable tone that Ranis had toward her.

"I thought it was you and look, you have become a Sky Sovereign," she said happily as he appeared beside me.

I have to say, she is a good actor. She is the same woman, who had been following me for the past five days.

Ranis had some contact with her.

She had led them in a battle against the Grimms, five years ago, which Ranis had been a part of. They met a few times after, and he was always respectful to her.

"Yes, finally," I replied.

Ranis Card may be a little silent type, but he isn't the one to be humble.

"Congratulations. You have not become a true powerhouse of Arvos," she congratulated.

"Thank you, Sky Sovereign Lidris," I replied with a joyful grin.

"You are going to the organization?" she asked. "Yes. I have been away for over one and a half years. It's time, I return and let be some use to organization," I replied.

"The organization is lucky to have you," she said.

I smiled and turned toward the teleportation gate. She followed behind.

Step!

I stepped into the gate and entered the familiar tunnel; I remained frozen till I got out, several seconds later.

"Home sweet home," I said as I stepped out of the teleportation gate.

"Sky Sovereign Card. You have been summoned, by the Sky Sovereign Tardon," said Earth Sovereign man, waiting for me. He didn't even give me a second to look around.

"See you later, Sky Sovereign Lidris," I said to the woman and followed the man.

Soon we were out of the building on the hill, and I saw the organization. It is massive, much bigger than most Sky Grade organizations.

The center of it is a massive white fort, with tall spires pieces in the sky.

This is Avros Fortress or Raventop Fortress. Nobody uses that name anymore. They simply called it Avros fortress.

It is a thing that Avros is most proud of; it is why no Sky Grade organization could touch them. Even Primes are fearful of it.

We are moving toward it.

"I thought the whispers, I heard were a joke, but it seemed like. They were true," I said, as I looked around.

"A few cultists had infiltrated the organization; the higher-ups have increased the security," replied the man. He didn't seem happy about it.

I understood a minute later as we stopped in front of the fortress, which is even more magnificent up close.

Though, before we were able to pass through those massive gates. We needed to go through the three checkups before we were able to enter inside.

There is a completely different world inside. It is spatially enlarged and filled with thick energy.

Though, even thick energy couldn't compare to the one, I have in my suite.

It used to be Silver Prime at its peak, while Tor is a Silver Prime.

More powerful than what Arvos was at its peak.

We walked inside and stepped into the teleportation gate, before walking some, before stopping in front of the bronze gate.

Knock Knock

The Earth Sovereign knocked. "Come in," came a moment later.

I pushed open the door and entered inside. There is a Wolf Beastman who looks to be in his mid-thirties; he is handsome as well as powerful.

A peak Sky Sovereign.

"Sky Sovereign Tardon," I greeted. "Take a seat, Ranis." He said, and I nodded and sat down.

The seat is small, but it was immediately adjusted to my size.

"First of all, congratulations on your breakthrough. With another Sky Sovereign joining us, our organization would become even stronger," he said.

"Thank you, Sky Sovereign. I will not let the organization down," I said, and the man smiled.

"You must have heard about the infiltration of the cultists?" he asked, and I nodded.

"It made us tighten our security policies. Including those who had returned from the break of year or longer," he said, and a frown appeared on my face.

"It is not we don't trust you, but it is a new policy that everyone needs to follow,"

"So, there will be some tests aside from the report and several rounds of questioning," he explained.

"This feels a little too much," I said with a clear displeasure, and the man nodded.

"It is, but they are the orders from above and we will have no choice but to follow them," he said, shaking his head.

"Fine," I said with a sigh.

"I know you will understand, Ranis," he said, and I nodded, but I kept my expression a little angry to tell them, I am not happy with this.
