The Journey of Akasha

Outside of the Secret realm all the warships had been waiting for the past few weeks. The time inside of the realm moves much faster than on the outside so not much time passed. Especially for these Guardians who were all much stronger than the first realm of power. 

On the Kalpa ship Liora, Riona, and Jax were all standing around talking to each other. 

"How do you think they will do?" Riona asked because she had been worrying about them since they entered. She knew how dangerous other factions in wider world could be. 

"I'm not sure, but I hope they are at least able to make some progress." Jax said while shaking his head. 

"Heh, they will be fine. Well, Akasha's group will be alright at least." Liora spoke with a slight grin.

"Eh? Why do you sound so certain?" Jax asked 

"Because.... that kid is a monster." Liora said 

Right after these words a light flashed by the entrance of the secret realm. This light was bright enough to catch the attention of all the people waiting. Seeing that the people who appeared weren't from their faction they ignored it. 

Well, most of them did....

When Riona and the others spotted the students from the Academy the immediately noticed something wrong. 

"Where's Luke? and Why are they out so early?" Riona asked. 

"Well, Luke is probably... dead" Jax replied solemnly 

Liora didn't say anything she only watched as the nine of them make their way over. While they were waiting, she felt as if someone was watching them. She spread her senses and found a ship separated from the others and it seemed to be concealed. Although not enough to escape her.

Seeing this she smiled a bit. 

'Maybe I'll get a chance to show off for Akasha~" 

When the students made it onto the ship, Riona wasted no time. She activated the barriers and began to depart. 

Once they made it a considerable distance away, she took a moment to observe the students and asked. 

"What happened? Why are you out ahead of time?" 

When they heard this, they all looked toward Akasha. Feeling the glares on him he shrugged and spoke. 

"Apparently Luke and his group got into some sort of battle. Luke died and the others were able to escape, and we are out early because we accomplished the mission. Lyria was able to obtain the Elven inheritance. The other things weren't that useful for us." 

Hearing this Riona and Jax sighed. Liora didn't too much care about anything other than Akasha and his group. 

"It really sucks to lose such a promising genius. But as you see things can be dangerous out here so just use this as a lesson. We are currently on the way back to Kalpa so, you can relax or do whatever you need to do." 

After Riona said this, she left along with Jax. The other students left too leaving only Akasha, Raven, Elara, and Liora. 

Liora approached the trio and asked. 

"So how was it?" 

"Well, it was alright. It was good to have a bit of action, but that was far from enough." Raven responded.

"Yes, we were able to increase our comprehensions with rule stones too." Elara added in. 

Liora nodded hearing the girls then said

"That's good, those rule stones were a big help for me too back when I was around your rank. There are plenty other resources that can help in different ways too, you guys should visit the Alchemist at the Academy." 

As they continued chatting, they moved to find a place to sit. 

When they sat down cross-legged Akasha finally spoke again.

"Liora, I will need some help. When we get back to Kalpa there are a few things I need to do. I plan on starting my own force and I want to start recruiting members once I make it back. 

I need your help to cover for my absence. I will need a few months to roam around Kalpa to explore and also to find members. Once I'm done, I will enter seclusion and reach the next major rank."

"Your own force? What kind will it be?" Liora asked

"Hmm, well, it will be similar to an assassin organization, but not entirely. They will move in the shadows and be spread all across the Galaxy. They will be my eyes and ears during the Supreme Golden Age and even after that."

"Alright, I can help with that. The most I can give you is about a month though." Liora replied. 

"That's great I only need to find one person for the moment anyways." As he said this he turned to Raven and Elara. He took some rule stones from The Sanctuary and handed it to them. 

"You can use these to increase your comprehension some more. I will do the same until we reach Kalpa." 

"Thanks dear~" The girls said as they gave him a hug. 

After they separated, they both began their cultivation sessions. Akasha smiled seeing them acting like that and then he looked at Liora. 

"Jealous my dear teacher?" As he said this, he approached her and wrapped his arm around her waist. He then pulled her close to him.

*BaDump*

Liora's heart skipped a beat as she felt the warmth coming from Akasha's body. Her face turned beet red as she looked like a teenage girl in love. 

"N-no I'm not." She managed to say after gaining some of her wits. 

"Haha, you look even sexier when you're all shy, you know?" Akasha said teasing Liora before he let her go and spoke 

"I will be cultivating my dear teacher~" 

Then he walked away leaving Liora in a daze. As she watched his back she thought 

'MINE!!!!!' 

She was losing even more screws!

While Akasha made his way to cultivate, he told Luna to take him back on top of the ship. Which she did immediately. When he got up here, he sat down cross-legged and observed the view. 

"Haaa, this truly feels like home." 

After he said these word the two spirits appeared and snuggled up against him. 

Luna like always sat in his lap while Elysia was to his side. And slowly he began comprehending the rules of space.
