Neacht embraced Antariksh with a large smile on her face as she spoke, "Congratulations sister."
Antariskh returned the gesture as she spoke, "Thank you, sister."
It had been a month since her tribulation but because of the coup d'état the celebration was put on hold but now since everything had been settle Maheswara decided to celebrate Antariskh's accomplishment to lighten the mood after the tragedy.
Neacht looked around as she spoke, "Where is your baby brother, I heard he was injured is he alright now."
Antariksh's smile dimmed a bit at the thought of her brother she replied, "He is recovering well, for now, mother was forced to remove his entire nervous system as well as certain parts of his brain before growing them, now he is trying to acclimatize with his newer parts otherwise it is alright."
Neacht let out a sigh of relief before she spoke with a frown, "Ryuu really has very bad luck being forced to suffer something like that one after another."
Antariskh could not help but nod in agreement as she spoke, "You are right though you can also say it is Heaven's way of balancing the fact that he has risen so high so fast."
Neacht nodded before her eyes roamed around as she spoke, "So where is he?"
Antariskh grimaced as she spoke, "Remember how I told you he was acclimatizing with his new nervous system well…"
A few minutes before Ryuu was pleasantly chatting with Leo one of her elder sisters' acquaintance though his mood had soured seeing how even his Aunty Khygnos had tried to persuade him to leave the army, and with each second he as getting more and more agitated but he was soon rescued by none other Leo who dragged him away in the guise of having some small talks.
Standing a bit away from the rest Leo spoke with a small smile, "I believe amongst all my friends I had the least interaction with you."
"So true senior brother."
"I heard about you surpassing us in Eden, congratulations."
Ryuu simply gave him an embarrassed smile as he replied to him, "Thank you though it was mostly because of my luck."
"Luck is a very important part of you Ryuu, it is as much your strength as your sword techniques so please do not downplay your strength."
Ryuu nodded as Leo continued, "Ryuu I know I might sound like I am preaching but please they are only worried about you."
Ryuu groaned inwardly as he quickly deduced the direction their talk was heading too, 'There we go again."
Leo raised his hand in mock surrender as he spoke, "I apologize for trying to sound like that but you know they are saying and trying to persuade you because they care for you right."
Ryuu's jaw hardened as Leo continued to speak, "So why are you trying so hard to stay in the army despite all odds, despite the threat to your life."
Ryuu with a frustrated sigh was about to retort only to be stopped by Leo who raised his hand before continuing, "You know Pangu despite being praised as a golden child was not without his faults, he had an ego larger than a planetary system, in fact, I have never seen anyone as prideful as he was, are you the same are doing so because of your pride and ego, please tell though do not worry I simply wish to understand you not to order or advice you to do something that you do not wish to do."
Ryuu was silent for a moment as he stood still before he began to speak again, "True maybe my pride and ego are involved in it but that is not the only thing that is at work here, I since I became my teachers' disciple I have been handed everything, if I said I liked the moon then the moon was brought down to me."
With a small breath Ryuu continued, "Everything I had achieved it was handed down to me, unlike others who had to work hard I was handed down everything, I hate it, being the army meant no matter how insignificant the accomplishment maybe but I achieved it through my own work not because it was handed to me."
"Every place that I have been safe for some extreme cases like Eden I had guards following me, no matter how foolishly I had acted no matter how dangerous my foes were the worst I had received was a few broken bones because they always rescued me."
"Even my increase in my level is because of an accident I had nothing to do with it as su…", whatever he was going to say was stuck in his throat as he rolled his eyes as he fell unconscious, as Leo quickly caught him with a dumbfounded look on his face.
'Eh, what happened? He was speaking with me just not and all of a sudden he collapsed.'
His answer came in the form of Maheswara as he quickly came by his side as he spoke in an apologetic tone, "I am sorry Leo, Ryuu is healing from severe nerve damage and thing like this tends to happen from time to time, though it is becoming less and less as time passes by."
Leo only frowned as Maheswara took his student from Leo's hands as he spoke, "Thank you for catching him now please excuse me I will have to carry him to someplace where he can rest.", and with that Maheswara left with Ryuu.
"… he seems to be collapsing now and then which happened just before you had arrived and father along with Leo took him away to recuperate."
Neacht frowned as she spoke, "I see, I hope he gets well soon."
"Do not worry, he will be completely healed within the next month though have you heard about brother Saidhal and his family?"
Neacht sighed as she spoke, "Not good, Zywia tried to kill herself a few times."

Neacht nodded as she spoke, "That may be good for her."
Meanwhile back with Maheswara and Leo, the duo simply watched over the sleeping form of Ryuu for a moment before Maheswara spoke, "Thank you, Leo."
Leo simply waved off his hand as he spoke, "There is no need to thank me uncle, and this was the least I could for him, though what are you going to about what he said."
Maheswara ran his hand through his hair as he spoke, "Of all the time he had to enter the angst-filled phase, hmm, I understand why he is feeling such a thing, but do not worry I have something planned for him as soon as he is healed."
"That is good to hear, though have you heard about Saidhal's daughter's condition?"
Maheswara frowned as he spoke, "No I have not, the last time I saw her was when she had just stepped out of Eden, more like she was unconscious and was being carried around by her family."
"She tried to kill herself many times, and as such her family has to keep her under constant watch because of it."
Maheswara's eyes widen as he spoke with a swear, "Between Antariskh's tribulation and the invasion I forgot to keep a track of them, how shameful of me, as nephew has always been so kind to us, so shameful I think I will pay them a visit as soon as possible."
A few hours later Ryuu stirred from his untimely sleep and was greeted by the smiling visage of his teacher as Nuwa spoke with a small smile on her face, "You are wake Ryuu, though you might have missed the party but fear not we have made something especially for you."
Ryuu sat up straight as soon as he had heard those magic words came to his ears making Nuwa stifle a giggle before handing Ryuu his food.
She loved the way Ryuu always acted whenever something cooked by it was mentioned, it reminded her of her children's younger and more carefree days when they acted more like Ryuu whenever she cooked.
Her eyes then went towards Ryuu as she let out a mournful sigh inwardly while reminiscing about days that had passed a long time ago.
'Of all of our children only Pangu reacted in such a way whenever we made food for him unlike others who outgrew such behaviour, now Ryuu still acts in that manner and it makes us happy, so are we wrong in babying him a little? Are we wrong trying not to let him go?'
"Seconds mistress is something wrong? You looked a bit troubled."
As Nuwa's attention was drawn towards Ryuu she gave him a small smile as she spoke, "Once you have finished eating we will tell."
Ryuu nodded and soon he finished eating everything his teacher had brought him, though with great difficulty he had to once again stop overeating least he failed to listen to his teacher's words.
Nuwa took a deep sigh before she began to speak, "Zywia did not take the death of her lover too well, she tried to kill herself a few times, and as s such we are planning to pay her family a visit and maybe even lend our hand in these trying times."
Ryuu's eyes widen as he jumped up from his bed as Ryuu spoke earnestly, "When are we leaving? Zywia and her family are nice people and I do not want them to suffer so much."
Nuwa stood up from her seat as she spoke with a smile, "Well since you are awake we can leave now though remember Ryuu take a deep breath do not get agitated."
Ryuu calmed down as he took a few deep breaths to calm himself as he did not wish to fall unconscious like every time he was agitated.
