Animal Tamer's Dominion

Chapter 4: Holy Servant.



After asking a few more questions, Mayumi and the rest already have a small grasp of understanding of this world.

They then walked in silence for about three minutes before finally arriving at their destination.

It was a very big two door opening kind of room. On the door were mysterious runes and pictures and drawings of legendary men and women with powerful looking beasts and monsters. At the center of the door was an orb like engraving. It looked like a sacred item that could only be touched by legends.

When Kenji looked at it, he felt some kind of sense of familiarity towards the orb, he seemed to have seen something like that before.

" Now everyone, please take off your shoes, for we would now be going into holy ground," the king said, as he bent down and began to remove his shoes from his legs.

Seeing the king taking off his shoes, the others also followed suit and took theirs' off also. Immediately they took off their shoes, the king opened the door to the chamber after saying a few words or some kind of prayer chant.

" Let's go in," he then walked inside.

The group looked at each other first, before they finally followed him in.

As they got inside, they were suprised by the splendor and mystic of this place. There was no ground, they were actually standing on water! The walls of this place are like thick and tall willows and oak trees.

At the center of this room was an orb, an orb that looked as pure as light itself. It looked so holy that they had the sudden urge to kneel onto the ground and begin to pray to it.

" What is that thing?" Curiosity stemmed from Kenji's heart as he asked solemnly.

The king, without looking back smiled," you felt it right? The urge to worship the orb, the urge to go and sing praised to it,"

" Yes, how did you know?" Kenji asked curiosity piqued high.

" That's because, you are in the sacred space of the god of magic. Magiris! He is the one who creates the magic orb which we use to assess the magical energy in a creatures being. He is also responsible for keeping the balance between magic users, so as one wouldn't become too overpowered or weak," The king said serenly, as he lowered his head a bit to show respect to Magiris.

" So this is what we would be using to check our aptitude and class?" Yuji said with a curious gaze in his eyes.

" Yes, that is correct. But I will not be the one to do it," he walked closer to the orb.

" Wait, if you're not going to be the one to use the orb and chaeck iyr aptitude, then who is?" Mayumi asked iwth an inquisitive look in her eyes. The same went for the return of the group, they were confused since it was clear that none of his co-workers had even seen this before today, not to mention use it.

" I will not be using it because I am not a guardian, but the Magiris servant will,"

As soon as he said those words, the water in which they are mysteriously standing upon began to stir violently like a tsunami was about to occur.

" What's happening?!" Due to the water stirring so violently, the group were beginning to lose their balance, all except one person, Mayumi.

Then a voice suddenly echoed from all corners of this mysterious chamber of Magiris.

" Only those with faith can stand upon a raging river. And it seems only one person has faith in the group of young people that I see below. I shall not attend to then.

" Loyal servant of Lord Magiris, come out and guide the lives of the faithful heroes summoned by god to purge this world of it's impurities," the king said in a tone of mystery. It reminded Kenji of a movie he onced watch, this scene is so much like it.

" These are the destined heroes of which the gods have bestowed onto us as our saviours?" The echoing voice said with a tone of inquisitiveness.

" Yes loyal servant, these are the ones in which have been summoned through the spell in which the gods granted onto us. I have brought them here today so as you can assess their abilities, so as we would be able to get a better grasp of their powers and decide on their next step," The king said with a heavy voice that seemed different from his regular voice in which they have gotten accustomed to.

" If what you say is true, then I have no right to stop you from assessing them, for this must be the will of the gods,"

Then almost immediately, the water began to stir violently as a hole just appeared at the center of the water.

The water shook so violently, that the group almost lost their balance and began to fall to the ground.

Kenji looked at the king who stood with a calm exppression. He stood like a rock in a giant wave. Unwavering and unshakeable.

" How is he not affected by the violently movement of the water?" Kenji said with a curious look in his eyes.

Then he suddenly spotted a golden hue surrounding the legs of the king," so that's it, he's using magic to stay above the water by just a little,"

Boom!

A pure white orb suddenly flew out of the whole in the center of the water ground.

The light looked so pure and holy, that it seemed much brighter than the sun, they even have to use their hands to protect their eyes from the light.

The orb of light then began to chang shape, as the outline of a woman began to appear.

It suddenly went from an orb to a holy lady drapped in full on white garments, as a holy staff of light was being held in her grasp.

" I am the loyal holy servant of the god of magic and god of light. I am the holy servant,"
