"This is so boring! Why do we have to keep watching this place? For how long?" A boy ranted as he stared at the large empty space in front of him . He kept yawning as he spoke . "Haha, Jack you always whine like a crybaby . " "Huh? How dare you call your brother a baby! You little girl!" "Hehe, that makes you sound even more like a baby . " "WHAT?!" -Grrrr- Jack raised his hands but cowered at the deep, low growl . "Don't side with her!" "Hehe, my Blue protects me . " The girl reached out to stroke the fur next to her . Next to her was a wolf with bluish fur . It was a giant wolf that was at least twelve feet long . "You like it Blue? Hehe . " Herina giggled as she scratched the Guardian's neck and turned to Jack . "Are you sure it will open here? There's nothing here . " "That's what the adults say . And that's why we always watch this place every day . And… huh? HUH? H-HEY!" Jack's eyes widened . There was a blue oval swirl appearing in front of him . The Guardian rose up and began to bark, but Jack couldn't hear it . He was too shocked, as was Herina . "Wow, it's so pretty!" "HEY! Herina, back off! It's getting bigger!" "Ooh, okay!" Jack took Herina's hand and they both moved back . The swirl began to grow in size and finally stopped when it was about as big as a house . "Wow, it really appeared!" "Grr…" Blue growled while Jack was astonished . "Jack! We have to let them know!" "Oh, right!" Jack then took out a signal fire and shot it up into the sky . Tens of Ainos began moving quickly when they saw the signal fire . "Elder!" Elder Hesgal frowned . It was a quiet, relaxing afternoon when he was enjoying his tea without any interruptions . 'Ugh, what's the fuss?' He was now even retired from his 'Elder' title and only assisted Howen when needed from time to time . There was no need to come and look for him like this . "There's a bunch of others who can work . Stop looking for me . " "Elder!" "Yeah, yeah . I'm not an elder anymore . " "R-right . But… elder! The Gate has opened!" "Stop calling me Elder… huh? The Gate?! Did you fire up the signal?" "Yes!" "What about the messenger birds?" "N-no, not yet . " "Then, go on! No, wait . Let's go . Bring all the warriors and the Guardians to the Gate!" -Gate reopened . Let the Emperor know . - Many birds with the same message were released into the sky . "Is it war again?" "Yes, Your Majesty . " Joonbum frowned . He was enjoying a relaxed time with his two wives and his kids . And they were all enjoying various cooked dishes from his mother . It was a peaceful . "What are they up to now?" Joonbum asked . Jackson sighed and answered, "It's just a tantrum . " "A tantrum?" "Yes . I think the Aspens want more . " "MORE? Isn't Aspen a newly created Kingdom? Didn't we give them enough?" "Yes… but they're becoming greedy . I think they are pushing for war so we cower and ask for peace . " "Fools . " Joonbum spoke as he became irritated . He then looked at Jackson and asked, "What do you propose we do?" Jackson smiled . "We will not let them do what they want . However, we can't just oppress them with our forces as that will give us a bad name, saying the empire oppresses the small kingdoms by force . " "Hmph," Joonbum nodded . "That doesn't mean we shouldn't do anything . We'd be raising an enemy . They will compete with each other and then ask the empire for help . We'll then take the middle ground and become a negotiator . " "Sounds good . " Joonbum smiled . "So, when are you going to start?" "I'll start right away . All the preparations are complete . The army they raised to fight us will now have to fight their new enemy instead . We'll stand at the back and aid them with supplies . " It was a quick and calm answer . Joonbum shook his head . "We still have to be merciful . People's lives are at stake . " "Yes . I assume they will ask for help before it becomes a huge problem . " "Good . " Joonbum nodded . "Then I will-" "Reporting! Black signal fires have been spotted at Khalodian Mountain!" A soldier came with an emergency report . Only the most important of reports were allowed into the emperor's office . "Black fire?" "Huh? Black?" "OH!" They all gasped . "It's opened again!" "Finally . " Joonbum, Jinpok, and Doral moaned . Jackson's face also became grim . The more they talked about this, the more they had to fear . After the investigation, they found that the Gate phenomenon was almost random . It opened regularly at the Khalodian Mountain, but there were times that another gate opened at a different time frame . Also, whenever it opened, something came out or disappeared into it . And it proved to have a large impact on the world . All living beings and plants had come through the Gate; the Ainos, the Magnos, and even humans had arrived here through the Gate .
