Chapter 1941
After the talk with Crystal, Adrian headed to a few more places to meet a few old friends. At night, he headed home to Swallowston.***Life was peaceful over the next few days. Adrian spent his days in Swallowston with Samantha, Gloria, and the others. He also took Nova out with him to have some fun every so often. A month later, the monument along Evercrest Mountain and Geras City's railway was finished, commemorating the hundred thousand soldiers who had sacrificed themselves. Scenes of the battle were depicted on the monument’s surface, and the structure stretched from Evercrest to thirty kilometers outside Geras. The monument was named the Evercrest Monument, and it attracted a large crowd of visitors upon its completion.Early one day in Swallowston, after learning of the completion of the Evercrest Monument, Adrian said, "Nova, let's go somewhere special today."Nova agreed. After informing Samantha, they left the house. Adrian and Nova drove to Evercrest Mountain and ar

The pair then arrived at the top of Evercrest Mountain. "Nova.""Yes, Father?"Adrian pointed toward the Evercrest Mountain camp and said, "That's where the camp is. More than twenty years ago, the Excenomers and four nations in the outlands came together to invade our borders. At the time, I sent out a team of vanguards to take control of this mountain and make it our base. After we won, we established this outpost. Do you see that sentry tower behind the camp?""I see it." "Do you know how it came about?""Yes, I do. Thunderstorm was the one who built it so that his men could keep a lookout for Excenomer activity at all times. After all, our nation’s moat is just a hundred meters away from the tower. "There's a dragon head statue at the top of the tower called Dragon's Gate. It's meant to be the entrance into Navia, and the men guarding this base were all ready to sacrifice themselves to protect our country from invaders."Nova had read about all these in books. Adrian s

A deep sound resonated throughout the camp as a huge screen at the square played a scene of a hundred thousand soldiers departing for their mission. Although these soldiers were paid actors, their acting was so superb that coupled with the music and scenery, the visitors felt as though they were watching the real scene.Adrian stood quietly in the crowd, unrecognizable to those around him. Nova teared up, her heart stirred by the scene. She had heard stories from Steel about the hundred thousand soldiers and how Geras would have been destroyed if not for them. Without Geras, they would not have located the Godkey. And without the Godkey, none of what they were enjoying at that moment would be possible. "Father..." Nova softly said as she grabbed Adrian's wrist.Adrian glanced at her and replied, "Let's keep moving." Nova nodded, and the pair left the camp to walk along the railway.On one side of the railway tracks were stone steles, each boosting the engravings of a soldier

“Mr. Steel taught me so many things I can't even begin to count them." Adrian calmly replied, "I'm going to teach you one more thing today. I want you to remember it for the rest of your life, understand?""Yes, Father. I promise I'll remember it forever." "Human potential is limitless. Everything you experience will become the tools you need to succeed in the future. No matter what sort of disaster befalls us, remember that there is hope as long as you're alive." "Yes, Father," Nova answered firmly.Adrian affectionately patted Nova's hair and continued along the railway.By evening, they reached the end of the monument. A kilometer away from the end stood a visitor’s center that provided accommodations, transportation, and a cafeteria.After walking all morning and afternoon, Adrian said, "You must be hungry by now. Let's grab a bite. We can head back in the evening.” "Okay."He led Nova to the visitor’s center which was crowded with resting tourists. The pair headed tow

Adrian smiled wryly. "Unlike Strider, Rozi and I have gotten old and are no longer the people we used to be.""But aren't you two the same as Strider? Weren't you two transformed by the meteorite?""Activating the Apex Obelisk sparked super radiation from the meteorites, and it killed the mutated cells inside our bodies. I'm actually doing pretty well myself, but Rozi is much, much older than I am.”"You can't be serious. She looked so beautiful though.""She's actually from twelve hundred years ago. Theoretically, she shouldn't be here. That's why after her mutated cells were killed, her metabolism sped up and her cells started aging. The truth is, there's another reason why I've brought you here aside from wanting you to see the Evercrest monument." Nova asked, "What is it, Father?""Rozi doesn’t have much time left. She probably won’t make it past half a year if we don't find a way to stop her cells from aging.""But the Timewinder has been destroyed. Can we still save her?"

Adrian tenderly stroked his daughter's hair. "I know I'm not being the best man I should be for you and your mother, but I hope you'll be able to understand my intentions. It's not just you and your mother I need to protect, and one of them is Rozi," he asserted."I understand, Father. You'll always be a great hero in my eyes. Go ahead and do what you have to do without any worries. I'll talk to Grandmother. Also, Mother's grown used to not having you by her side. She’ll be happy enough to know that you're okay.""It's a deal then. No backsies!" "No backsies!" A voice then called out, "Sir! Nova! What a coincidence!" Adrian and Nova turned to see Sage in a long dress while walking hand-in-hand with Strider. They, too, had come to visit the camp."Hey guys!" Nova cheerfully greeted upon seeing the couple.Sage smiled. "You've become so beautiful, Nova."Nova giggled.Adrian gestured. "Perfect timing. Join us, won’t you?"Everyone had been busy recently, especially Strider

Sage chuckled. She said regretfully, "Strider and I were planning on inviting you to our wedding, but it looks like you won’t be able to make it.""What?!" Adrian looked puzzled.Nova became extremely excited. "The two of you are getting married?! That's great! I'm definitely going to be there!" Sage laughed. "Strider and I have been through so much together. Plus, I'm almost forty now, so I don't want to wait anymore. Strider's physique is different from mine, so I'd like to settle down while I'm still relatively young.""Have your parents agreed to this?" Adrian asked. When Sage nodded, Adrian said, "This is wonderful. It feels like it was just yesterday I saw you at the selection, Sage. Who would've ever thought you and Strider would end up together? Well then, I may not be able to attend your wedding, but as your senior, I should still say a thing or two as a blessing."Strider, Sage is a wonderful girl, and I'm sure you two will be happy together."Strider looked down and

"He's busy reorganizing Wyvern Peak and assisting Crystal in managing Navia. He's pretty occupied currently. I've only been able to meet him once last month. Remy, Sylvia, Zack, and Polaris have been promoted and have been assigned their own teams.”"What about Jerome's girlfriend?" Adrian asked. There had been a girl who was waiting for Jerome when the latter became the new legate of Wyvern Peak.Sage responded, "The two of them have reunited and she moved into Wyvern Peak. They're planning to get married too, but they haven't been able to fix a date due to how busy Jerome is.""What about Remy's younger siblings?" Adrian further inquired."They’re all doing well, nothing to worry about.""That's a relief. I'm going to need all of you to guide Nova while I'm gone. Make sure to never forget your roots for as long as you live. You need to work together to protect our world, understand?" "Yes, sir."Adrian turned to Nova. “Each one of these people has their strengths, so I want
