The finding

Shotaro began to walk above the stairs of the green tower. it was tall, nearly a kilometre, but the view was amazing, minus the filthy deeds that was happening, the architecture was still peak.
"You know" Paliv said, "I live in this tower for so long I have grown numb to that view, seeing my mother's incompetence, the fall of the kingdom, I don't suppose we need emotions here".
Shotaro suddenly stopped, Did Paliv said she has grown numb?, he knows how it feels to be indifference & apathetic, & it disgusted him to his flesh, whenever he is not numb that is, no that can't be happening, not on his watch, he doesn't want another him around.
"Paliv" Shotaro said, looking at her eyes, he gently held her down, this girl needed a father, or any positive male model in her life, almost if he knows how it felt..
"You've been through lot kid" He started, not knowing how to, "Without anyone to guide you, you can't differentiate & understand the lovable words & stern lessons" he continued, "But what guides through all of them is what we feel" he said gently carrasing the little girl on cheek, "I don't know much about my past, but I knew I had many people there waiting for me, like those peasants wait for your mother's grace ness to return".
"Never" He said, "Let go of your emotions".
"Cause what makes a sentient being sentient, are those little chemical reactions in his mind" Shotaro continued, "We both are person with our emotions, without them, we're walking flesh & bone".
"Emotions are a person's individuality" Shotaro ended, "Never let them go".
Paliv looked at him, her eye glistening, seemingly indicating a potential arrival of her childhood glow, she didn't see her father since decades, but seeing Shotaro now, she admitted it is what exactly he would have said, as a red warm crept through her cheeks, she said, "Ok, Ok, let's go meet my mother" before joyfully skip dabbling towards the stairs above.
"It's being a long while" Granny P. put a hand around Shotaro's shoulder, "Since I have seen the child I played in my arms, not the over serious princess with self blame to her father's death".
Shotaro looked back, "She blamed herself?, yeah, that makes sense".
"& your speech" Granny P continued, "About emotions, it was cheesy, but it was motivating".
"You should try to be a king" She said "this world can use a leader with such views".
"No I am better as a wannabee her of saving" Shotaro said embarrassed "I was never a fan of monarchy" he added, "& those words, maybe I understand emotions so deeply I contradictory not feel them".
"You're more than what most people expect" Granny P. said, "Mugyiwara".
"People" Shotaro replied, "Often say the same".
"Maybe there is a reason why Luthor bet it all on you" Granny P. said sternly, "But don't think I still haven't let go of the past grudge between me & your madness inducing tale".
"Like I care" Shotaro shrugged, "don't make me hide your meds Grandm---" crashed into a wall.
"Humph" Granny P said, "You may be the hero, but you still need to train". She added, "much to learn" She added, "Too much to prove, little boy".
"IDK what was that supposed to sound like" Shotaro rubbed the back of his head where it still stinked.
They entered the upper sector of the tower, Shotaro saw pics, many, many paintings.
"They" Shotaro monologued to himself, "Must be from when the city wasn't in ruin".
Suddenly he bumps into a stand, containing an armour.
"It's an Ugly armour" he said, gritting his teeth in rage, "this stupid armour, this fucking hideous armour I would rather see Donald Trump & Joe Biden have gay scat orgy than this fucking armour".
"This armour" he repeated, "this armour this armour this armour this armour.."
"Shotaro" Paliv shook him out of his state.
"huh" he snapped out. "Where was I?"
"You were talking to yourself" Granny P. informed the man, until her eyes went to that armour.
"Oh" She said, "I get it".
"Get what?" Shotaro asked, annoyed at her gatekeeping.
"That's wrath armour" Paliv informed, "It makes one hate it" she added, "You will go berserk if you wear it tho".
"Wrath...armour" Shotaro said to himself as a certain black swordsman came in his mind, "What is it tho?" he asked.
"Don't bother yourself with it" Paliv replied.
"Hey" Shotaro complained, "I don't like gatekeeping".
"First help us put the queen out of her miserable state" Granny P. barged in the conversation, "You will have me explain everything to you afterward".
As they walked in the courtroom, Shotaro sniffed a hard stench of liquor.
"This is way stronger than anything I remember back home" He said to himself, "I mean remembering Elves have higher level of metabolism".
He entered the courtroom, only to find it...empty.
"Huh" Shotaro thought to himself, as the two ladies began to see here & there.
"Where is mother" Paliv asked, "Where is everyone in general" Granny P. added
But Shotaro already had started his own investigation, as he looked around found many disposed bottle of vine.
It was a usual sight for the courtroom, ever since Queen's descend into the alcoholic mess of flesh & bones she was.
But to Shotaro, something was off, despite his amnesia he can recall watching Sherlock on television, one of his favs, & there is also a slight recollection of the fact, that whoever he was back on earth, he did kinda solve a bunch of cases separate from officials.
"Was I even a normal child" he says to himself before continuing his search.
"What are you doing" Granny P. instigated, "I swear if you're trying to find a bottle not empty for yourself" a tinge of frustration peeked in.
"I know my mother for decades" Paliv chuckled, "There is no way even a drop of a drop is left".
"Shut up" Shotaro said in a cold, calculation voice as he picked up a bottle next to him, seeing that it's opening glistened in the rays of light that trespassed from window.
"this is" He said as his eyes widened.
"That's Horsefruit vine" Granny P. informed, "Good for women who fail to bear children".
"Shotaro have a vagina" Paliv exclaimed in shock.
S M A C K
"Owie" Paliv clenched her head "You don't hesitate do you, you mean little".
"The opening of the bottle" Shotaro said, "Is still moist".
He takes a sniff just to make sure, "it's a saliva, a hard drunk stench filled saliva".
"& your point?" Paliv asked confused.
"Your mother didn't disappear for more than some moments" Shotaro said, "It's like she drank it empty" he pointed at the throne, "there"
He ran & sat on the throne, as it raised a shocked reaction from both.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING YOU DUMBASS ARE YOU RETARDED?" both of them exclaimed as Shotaro tried to imitate the situation that led to such disappearing.
He acts to drink the empty bottle, then he throws it on the ground.
"What next happened is up to me" he said to himself, "Right".
"The door can't be the escape" he said to himself, "We would have seen when we entered".
"If my theory that the disappearance didn't happen more than 5 minutes ago" his eyes wandered for answered as they laid upon the windows, most were closed from inside, so there is not much chance for them to be answered, but one big one was open, the one directly behind the throne.
"Look" Paliv pointed at an invisible clothe that was tied to the window.
"Nobody can use magic inside this castle's barrier" Granny P. explained, "that window seems the only solution".
"Are you sure?" Shotaro asked, "This building is way too tall for that kind of travel to be logical, not that someone can teleport in its premiss".
"Also there aren't footprints on the ground, it's more like a distraction to keep us away".
"Your eyes are sharp, sharper than most humans I presume" Granny P. said, "counting your ability to see the grass below".
Shotaro choose to not reply that as he investigates the room, "No chance for door, the window is a distraction...." he looked back at Granny P.
"was there a secret door connecting the room?" he asked.
Granny P. had her eye widening in recollection, as due to her age's long existence, she developed Alzheimer, she pulled a tile from the back of the throne revealing a staircase down, "If only I have not had my mind rotted with ageing".
But Shotaro & Paliv jumped in before she gets chance to finish her.
"Kids nowadays are too rude" she said before joining them as Shotaro asked her, "Do you remember the path or your Alzheimer ate that too".
She stops, rubs the back of her head in shame, "Now you reminded me that, the only speck of info I have is that this place is heavily filled with Bobbie traps, I forgot where tho".
Shotaro facepalmed himself knowing with Alakshmi & it's properties on his waist, he will end up stepping on one....then he had an idea.
"What if I turn my lemons into a Lemonade" as he looked at Alakshmi, "A small blast wouldn't do much, but I can make a way"
He knows that he made a vow to not use it until he has a control over it, but now he thinks about it, how can he make the sword listen to him if he never says anything to him?.
He pulled Alaskhmi out, as it shined in its iconic black glow with red accent.
"How are you using a weapon under the barrier that surrounds the green tower?".
"Let's just say" Shotaro pointed his weapon towards a direction, "My sword cuts through the anti-magic properties".
Suddenly after weeks, he finally unleashed the attack that decimated a hole, as the civilians saw a dark pillar ripping through the barrier that was said to be able to sustain infinite suns vaporising at once like a bullet goes through a tissue paper reaching beyond the sky.
Beyond the sky, were the arcs, huge dimensional ships used as a residence of the above order, thousands, millions of them, the biggest arc, called Noah, the one that had the throne of the absolute, Queen Marafyre the absolute saw the pillar of darkness with crimson accent pass through her ship, by just some yards, they never really went to surface, no they can't walk on the same land as mortals, yet such power to be originated from them?...No it can't be.
She grabbed the armrest of her throne, the one she is bound to for eternity, that throne was like a organ to her, where she comands countless outergods, with her proper omscience, a mind that was omnipresent, & her omnipotence, she was just next to Bhramha after all, so she used the countless eyes to see into the source of such power, & she saw a face.

HE IS HERE
Back in aetheria Shotaro stood still as he saw he just created a tunnel of sorts with this ablity, vaiporising most, if not all the traps under the green tower.
"OK this is better than before" he said to himself before looking back, if he accidentaly vaiporised the two ladies, "no they are good".
Suddenly Paliv found a weird feather, one with a dark purpilish accent with silver at main color, it was no doubt quil of a Nightdread, which can only means.
Dark elves.

Running through the ruins of his creation, Shotaro exits the barrier he ripped a hole in off, he feels bad for blowing the green tower like that tho, but Paliv reassures him that she can have someone else use time magic to undo his destruction, but Shotaro, knowing Alakshmi's properties isn't sure if magic can redo its destruction, whatever he says as the trio makes their way to the other side of Olive dale, as Granny P. informs "The dark elves are blended into the crowd, try to find them with your supposed sharp eyes".
"I never fucking met one, I wouldn't know" Shotaro replies.
"Just how most elves have blonde hair & green eyes with bright skin" Paliv explains
"Dark elves have darker skin tone, reddish-purplish hair & golden eyes".
"So they are basically Isekai Ni---Sorry I didn't say anything" Shotaro clenches his mouth shut.
Granny P decided to investigate the area near the eastern bank river, while Paliv & Shotaro were ordered by the former military general to find the intruders in the western, basically olive dale is a riverine island type of city with only the Moss bridge connecting it to main land, so they got separated.
As they were running here & there, Shotaro bumped into a familiar face.
"Sho-dono?" Kazam said in surprised.
"You're that dude I met some hours ago, that ass seller" Shotaro replied, "& what with that nickname".
"Hey" the fem boy smacked his chest lightly in an offended way. "I have a name, you know".
"Who is this girl, hero?" Paliv asked, not knowing the pole between Kazam's legs.
Kazam looked at her, his eye widened in shock "The princess!!!" he exclaimed in shock followed by a bow, so fast he accidentally hit his forehead.
"This is giving.....suppressed civilian" Shotaro commented into confusion before he got an idea, "if you live here, & sell your ass, you may know most of these people right?" he said with a smirk before picking him up, "he may help us sort them out".
"Who...exactly?" the ass seller asked.
"The dark elves" Paliv answered followed by a shocked gasp.
"The dark elves?, why would they break the treaty & intrude beyond the Evening glory valley?" he asked, "this would only cause a war".
Shotaro had a face of obliviousness, "umm..am I missing something?".
"Oh I forgot" Kazam "you're a foreigner right?, actually that's an understatement".
"After The Elvan War, the resources were fucking depleted so it caused The first Elvan Civil war, the light elves got the favour of the great wolves somehow & won the fight & enslaved their dark counterparts, made them work in the fields, inhumane behaviour & all, treating them like dirt" Paliv explained.
"Great..wolves" Shotaro had a moment of recollection, "Garm....her people helped defeated the elves?".
"& what was the treaty?" Shotaro continued.
This time, Kazam answered, "Basically the dark elves had enough & had the that time king, Bardwin I killed & boom, the second elven civil war".
Suddenly, a certain familiar old man's face came into Shotaro's mind, "Halasar, he was in the second elven civil war, wasn't he? So it was his father that was killed all those ages ago?" he monologued to himself, feeling a bit of pity, even tho he finds that guru kind of annoying.
"But this time, the wolves decided to be just the observers & boom, it was a draw". Paliv stated, "Both races were almost finished so Bardwin II Ellarion decided to sign a treaty & announced the Dark elf tribe, consisting of the remaining dark elves & gave them the evening Glory valley to themselves while he ruled the remains of Olive dale".
"That sister fucking bastard?" Shotaro replied.
"Why would they intrude now?" Kazam wondered.
That made Shotaro think to himself, "Why would'n they, it was once their land too & after all these years their population have grown too much for one valley to sustain, if I was them I would be crashing the fuck out too" but he thought to himself again, "But he is right?, why now? That's a mystery I am eager to find out".
Kazam joins them, out of respect for the princess, as they sprinted across masses.
"There are millions here, Where could they be amongst all these rotting life & filth?".
"Think about it" Shotaro said, "If you are able to be pointed out by your skin colour or bodily features, you would be covering from head to toe".
"That makes sense" Paliv said.
Shotaro saw a woman, wearing a full white gown, he thought it was weird for such a warm-humid climate, he smirks, "You think you're slick huh" he grabs the woman by her hand.
The woman exclaimed in horror, suspicious to him, said some foreign language but Shotaro didn't have time to listen, so he pulled the white veil off her body, "found YA--HUH?" he exclaimed at it was just a woman, not even an elf let alone a dark one, just a woman with a nose pin, & ear lobes pierced of gold...the woman screamed & ran off, Shotaro looked here & there, people were looking at him with horror. "Shotaro" Paliv informed him, "She was from the desert cult, probably a trader's wife, They follow the deserted god, their own religion" her eye saddened by grief "You soiled her by seeing her face"
"She will get killed by them, that veil was her honour".
"You got her killed" She said
suddenly, Shotaro felt the moons & stars shattering over his head as he realised his deeds, he got that poor woman killed, no he can't just let it happen, "I will try to save".
"You can kill a person, maybe even a god" Paliv said, "Shotaro Mugyiwara, but how will you kill an ages old believe?".
Shotaro gulped in shock as the star of people, in his mind became big red eyeballs in an abyss like room, he literally caused an innocent woman to lose her life.
"Sho-dono" Kazam tried to make him listen, "Let's focus on finding the queen".
But Shotaro could feel his soul getting stabbed again & again by his own ribcage, that was the amount of realisation he was feeling, "Do I even deserve the prophecy written for me?" he wondered, "Am I really the supposed messiah, or just an asshole who does stuff out of over-confidence & fucks up the already fucked-situation?".
"Snap out of it, brat" an elderly angry voice ranged from behind him, Granny P entered the scene, "I didn't find shit at the east bank, so I decided to come here & you are already tweaking like that".
"But I" he gets cut off mid-sentence.
"You're prophesised to be the great saviour, that doesn't mean you ALREADY are" Granny P said "You lack knowledge, self-control, decision-making & look that caused that poor woman her life".
"But all you can do" She said
"All you can do" Paliv repeated
"All you can do" Kazam added.
"Is keep moving forward" Shotaro finished the line as an idea came across his mind.
"I get it" he said to himself, "Dark elves Can't eat lemons, oranges & amlas right?".
"Yeah" Paliv said, "I wonder why?".
"One set of pattern is there" Shotaro added, as he scribbled something on a wall next to them.
C6H8O7.
"What is this?" The ass seller asked.
"Some kind of spell" Paliv added, "or a mantra perhaps?".
"Some kind of seal maybe?" Granny P put a hand on her chin.
"I present you" Shotaro said, "Citric acid".
"umm...what?" Granny P asked.
Shotaro rubber the bridge of his nose by his finger in pride, "I remembered I was quite good at chemistry".
They all cringed at his usual over-confidence, but wasn't that what was charming about Shotaro Mugyiwara, out of his convential attractiveness?.
"Ok brat" Granny P asked with a knowing smirk, "How is this Kemastry of yours going to help us".
"I need lemon & orange juice, SHIT TON OF THEM" Shotaro replied, "your time starts now".
"But how are we gonn---" Kazam gets cut off by Shotaro, "Paliv have botanical spells".
Paliv instantly realised what was he on about, "On it".
After cultivating a shit ton of lemon juice, processing it with fragrance & itras with his earthly knowledge, Shotaro creates a perfume, the one that expands instantly in contact with heat.
Shotaro just goes in the middle of Olive Dale, where the tall statue of Luthor Ellarion was, kinda poetic even after his death, he still sorts his kingdom's problem out, sets the giant torch its hand on fire, despite the angry chants of the citizens, throws in the barrel of the liquid he processed, as a citrus filled, pleasant, fresh fragrance spread across the land, despite how big it was.
Shotaro can see some people, covered in head to toes, coughing.
He unveils all of them, & the dark elves intruders, after 12 hours of constant search, were caught.
So he beats them up & had them lead them to where they kept the court members.
It was a secret cabin, in the sewage system.
"Not a good place to keep a queen" Paliv commented, knowing she's going to find her mother soon, but unveils it to the usual sight of Queen Mellirion just laying on the ground not caring if she dies or not, not even while her daughter stands right there.
"As drunk as always" Paliv said in mock frustration.
But Shotaro had other plans, he had Kazam take the court members to safety.
He walked towards the queen, "Hey you're the queen, right?, I wanted to meet you so badly".
She looked at him, not recognizing the hero, "Huh?".
But before she could say anything, Shotaro smashed his fist into her face, "GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER" he punched her again & again, forcing her out of her drunken state out of sheer pain.
Everyone was shocked as Shotaro kneed their queen in the face, Paliv tried to stop him by blowing him away but Granny P stopped her from saving her mother, as she noticed the return of life in those eyes that were apathetic to all existence after her love died.
"SHOTARO WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING" Paliv screamed & shouted, trying to get out of her grip.
The queen vomited blood, looked back at him with shock, "Do you even know what you're going, you dumb brute".
"Who is the dumb brute here?" Shotaro asked with rage, "Me or the failure of a queen, even bigger failure of a wife & a mother who let her masses eat each other out in filth while she drowns herself in pathetic drunken apathy, trying to run from her duty" He said as a gust of wing sliced his ear off, but he didn't cared.
"you bastard" the queen said, her life returned to her mind, the vessel of return being rage & realisation, "WHAT DO YOU EVEN KNOW ABOUT PAIN".
"YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO WENT THROUGH SUCH LOSS & YOU WILL NOT BE THE LAST" Shotaro shouted back, "Your pain just matters more cause you're the queen ain't it???" he said with sarcasm.
The queen held her bloodied body, with self realisation, he literally punched some senses into her, she can't die like this, not as failure, she has to live, just as Luthor would like her too, for Paliv, for the kingdom.
Seeing Shotaro's point, she asked, "You're right, what I was living was'nt what Luthor died for".
"Even if you gonna live for eternity, you have to live as you won't".
Shotaro sighed to himself, knowing he may have finnaly don him something that earns him his title, or if not, it was closer than ever, so that's also a win.
Paliv ran & hugged her mother, who hugged her back as she kissed her on forehead, "I am sorry, dear, for everything" She said between tears, "I will compensate all those ears where I could'nt be your mother from now on by being 4 times the mother I am".
"That didn't maked sense but thank you mother" Paliv replied.
Shotaro & Granny P was looking from far away, with smiles on his face due to the wholesomness, Shotaro wraps around his big arm, as Granny P looked at his red eyes with deep fondness.....WAIT.
They snapped out of it as Shotaro gagged, "What was that shit?? FUCKING FOSSIL".
Granny P did the same do, "Don't do that again kid, that was actually disgusting".
"I am not Grandma-fucker" Shotaro replied.
"& I don't like man" Granny P said.
Suddenly hearing this commotion, Merrial looked at the duo & asked, "I forgot, who are you, so audacious to hit me? yet understanding enough to know the importance of such action".
"Me?" Shotaro repeated, he smirks, Paliv said, "Mother, he's the great savi--" gets cut off by Shotaro.
"I am Shotaro Mugyiwara".
