A Journey That Changed The World.

[Eight years before Archer got banished]

Archer sat comfortably in the library, surrounded by shelves upon shelves of books. His nose was buried in a thick tome, lost in the world of words.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching and looked up to see his mother entering the room with two new faces in tow.

"Archer, I'd like you to meet our new maid, Sheira, and her daughter, Ella." His mother said, gesturing toward the two figures behind her.

Archer took a moment to study the newcomers. Sheira was a kind-looking woman with warm green eyes and a gentle smile.

Ella, on the other hand, was a really cute girl around his age with short blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and pointed ears that poked out from underneath her hair.

"Hello, young master Archer." Sheira greeted him warmly. "I hope you don't mind us interrupting your reading."

Archer shook his head. "No, not at all. It's nice to meet you both."

Ella looked around the library with wide eyes, taking in the vast collection of books.

"Wow, you have so many books," she exclaimed, her voice filled with wonder.

As Ella's eyes sparkled with wonder, Archer couldn't help but notice the curiosity and excitement in her gaze. He cleared his throat and spoke up, breaking the silence.

"Yes, there are hundreds of books in this room," he said, gesturing towards the shelves. "Father collects them, but he hardly ever reads any of them."

Ella turned to him, her bright blue eyes examining the black-haired youth who was to be her new young master.

Archer felt a slight pang of self-consciousness under her gaze, but he tried to remain composed.

"I love books," Ella said, her voice filled with enthusiasm. "Do you have a favorite?"

Archer thought for a moment before responding. "I'm not sure if I have a favorite, but I do enjoy adventure stories and tales of magic."

Ella's eyes lit up with excitement. "Me too! Maybe we can read some together sometime?"

Archer smiled, feeling a warmth spreading through his chest. "I'd like that."

While his mother showed Sheira around the castle, the women watched the children talk, leaving them in the library.

The two children spent a couple of hours reading together. As they finished, Ella turned to Archer and asked a question.

"Young Master Archer, do you want to learn magic?" She asked.

Archer looked up at the cute girl and set the book he was reading down.

"I do. I would love to," he replied. "My elder siblings have been able to use magic and are skilled with the sword."

He looked away, feeling a pang of self-doubt. He wished he were better with the sword, at least.

Ella noticed the self-doubt in Archer's blue eyes and spoke up. "I'm sure you'll be able to use it when you turn 13, Young Master." She said reassuringly.

Archer saw the girl's smile and nodded his head before continuing to read with Ella. Most of their childhood was spent like this, or walking in the garden during hotter days.

Years later, Ella turned 10 and became Archer's personal maid, bringing immense happiness to both of them. Over time, they grew incredibly close.

When Archer's siblings pushed him away for not being as good as their older brothers Oswyn or Aldwulf, he retreated to the library alongside Ella, who never left his side.

As time passed, their friendship blossomed, and by the time they reached the age of 13, it became evident to everyone that they had developed romantic feelings for each other.

However, Archer never said anything due to his insecurities about himself and his skills.

Unfortunately, their happiness was short-lived when Archer was seriously injured by a beast, causing him to fall into a coma. It was Ella who stayed by his side, never leaving him.

However, upon awakening, he found himself transformed, no longer the person he once was. Something within him had shifted, setting him on a journey that would change the world.

[London, Earth]

Twelve years before Archer's murder and transmigration to Thrylos. A little boy with brown hair and eyes was playing in a playground.

As he went down a slide, he saw a moving van pull up outside the empty house next to his. A man and woman got out of the van, followed by a little girl that caught his attention.

Curious, he ran over to the van and saw a little girl with navy hair tied up in twin tails and big green eyes. She looked at him with a smile as he approached.

"Hi there!" Archer said, introducing himself. "I'm Archer. What's your name?"

The little girl giggled and replied, "My name is Alexa. Nice to meet you!"

Archer couldn't help but feel drawn to her infectious energy and playful spirit. "Would you like to come to the playground? They've built new stuff, and it's fun," he suggested.

She turned to her mother, who had just appeared. She looked at the cute boy who was trying to get her daughter to come and play.

Pamela smiled as she introduced herself. "My name is Pamela, and my husband's name is Harry. What brings a cute little boy like you here?"

Archer looked down, feeling a bit embarrassed. How could he tell them that he had no friends?

"I just wanted to meet new people and make friends," Archer replied, trying to hide his nervousness.

Pamela's warm smile put him at ease. "Well, you've come to the right place. We'd love to be your friends."

With that, Archer and Alexa ran off to the playground, their laughter filling the air. He felt grateful for the chance encounter that had led him to make new friends.

They played together for hours until the sun began to set. Pamela arrived at the playground and called out to Alexa, who said goodbye and ran over to her mother. To Archer's surprise, Alexa quickly returned with a smile.

"Archer, do you want to join us for dinner?" Alexa asked eagerly.

He nodded and said, "Let me tell Mum. Come with me."

Together, they headed towards his house, but Pamela called out to the over-excited children.

"Archer, I spoke to your father, and he's happy for you to join us. Come on, you two," she said, turning on her heels and leading the way back to the house.

Alexa grabbed his hand and pulled him along. He felt a mix of excitement and nervousness as he followed her, wondering what dinner would be like.

As years went by, Alexa and Archer's bond deepened even further. Both sets of parents strongly believed that they were destined to be together.

From childhood to adolescence, they were inseparable. They attended the same schools and even pursued higher education at the same college.

Now, at the age of 17, their bond remained as strong as ever. One day, Alexa rushed back into her house in a panic. Pamela saw her red face and smiled, suspecting what had happened.

"Lexi, what's going on? Why do you look panicked?" She asked, stopping in the kitchen doorway and leaning against the doorframe as she watched her daughter.

Alexa took a deep breath before blurting out, "Archer just asked me out on a date!" Pamela's smile grew even wider as she hugged her daughter, thrilled for her.

"That's wonderful news, Lexi! What did you say?" she asked.

"I said yes, of course!" Alexa replied, beaming with excitement. Pamela hugged her daughter again, feeling grateful for the bond that had formed between the two families over the years.

Pamela was sitting down, watching television, when she suddenly heard a panicked knock on the door.

She quickly put on her housecoat and opened the door to see Billy, Archer's older brother, standing there with tears in his eyes. Before she could say anything, he spoke.

"Auntie Pam, something terrible has happened! Archer has been severely stabbed, and they rushed him and Lexi to the hospital. Can you please drive me and my sister there? Everyone else is already on their way!"

Shocked and trembling, she snatched her car keys, her mind reeling from the devastating news. Billy and Lucy swiftly hopped into the car, their expressions filled with concern.

She ignored all speed limits and raced towards the hospital screeching to a stop outside the hospital entrance and the three rushed inside.

They reached a room just as they heard an anguished cry that pierced their souls. At that moment, the three of them knew, without a doubt, that Archer had not survived.

Over the next few years, she watched her daughter sink into a deep depression and never leave her room.

Archer's siblings, unable to bear the weight of their grief, distanced themselves and never returned home, the memories of their baby brother were too painful to confront.

Despite the parents' best efforts to move forward and support their children, the family remained fractured, the bonds irreparably broken..

Alexa, in particular, was sinking into a deep depression after Archer's loss. However, when she did manage to get some sleep.

she dreamed of a fantasy world where Archer was still alive and spoke to her, igniting hope within her.

With newfound determination, Alexa left her room with a renewed focus and returned to college to continue her studies.

Eventually, she secured a great job in a top financial firm and moved on with her life. However, deep down, she still longed for the day when Archer would return come to get her.
