Appendix 1: Aelaranthae’s Descent

APPENDIX 1: AELARANTHAE’S DESCENT

The war has come to an end. The new Aelaranthae empire was stable and prosperous. Yet, every creature held a secret. Inside The White House, there was a hidden staircase, openable only by Aelaranthae. There, a tunnel stretched far and narrow. Only made by Aelaranthae and for Aelaranthae.

The seemingly neverending path leads deep into the mountain. Over ten miles away from Aelaranthae town. Afterward, a neverending staircase leads into the peak of the mountain. There, the eternal winter laid upon the barren land. Such barren wasteland with nothing but ice as far as the eye can see was perfect for the Aelaranthae. Deep inside the mountain was warm because Ae Nae heated up the place. In the meantime, the storage room beside it was freezing cold. Filled with so much food the Aelaranthae had stored.

A few days prior, Ae Zir had received the call and accepted it. Like Ae Nae, she became fragile. Lost was the luster from her hair. Lost was the strength in which she took down Rashandur. Even more so for she had sacrificed her blood for the mad king Luferia. However, it does not matter for they are safe. This time, they have three Aelaranthae. Ae Nae’Ire will handle the governmental affair while Ae Nae becomes the caretaker of Ae Zir’ call.

They will not be caught off guard any longer. Even if worse comes to worst, they have everything needed here to last for ten years. Ae Nae would ensure Ae Zir will realize her potential. The call in her body will bear fruit, just like she did before.This time, free of threat.

Aelaranthae were all the same. So, Ae Nae’Ire could certainly take care of governmental affairs as well as Ae Nae would. Even if she was young and inexperienced, all she needed to do was call Ae Nae through their psychic link and Ae Nae would answer any question in a mere fraction of a second.

Even when they said they believed in humans. Even when they had said that they will live with the humans. Aelaranthae had lied. The fear they experienced during the Mad King Luferia attack had left an everlasting scar on their heart. And so, they went to great lengths to secure this place. No expenses will be spared for this was Aelaranthae’s only need.

As expected, Ae Zir completed the call this time without an issue several years later. And thus Ae Zir’Ire was born. When the populace learned that Ae Zir had completed their ascendance and brought more messengers of the goddess, they rejoiced.

Ae Zir was happy when she felt the emotions from her people. Thus this ritual will be called Aelaranthae’s descent for people though an additional Aelaranth will be requested and added from heaven to help them.

Such news was propagated and people now viewed Aelaranthae’s descent as a sign of a better future. Ae Zir’Ire, who was born in a peaceful time, did not pursue the path of military or governmental affairs. She went on to the path of art and music, elevating the culture of the Aelaranthae empire.

And that was the story of how The Call was called Aelaranthae’s descent by the masses. None has ever seen how Aelaranthae borth a new Aelaranth
