Call of Lightning
14. I Must Be Strong for Aeera
Aeera was able to survive long enough to maintain Lord Kalandra's existence. Aeera was happy because Lord Kalandra taught her the ability to strengthen her divine mana. It would be a huge help since she could keep Lord Kalandra in existence much longer.
The map created by the duplication of magic is a map of everything in this world. Toman and Eudor continents Aeera's divine mana was running low; Kenan Kalandra had to return to earth, and he brought a copy of the map with him. Before leaving, Kenan advised several things: Aeera must practise divine mana well, and they will go on a journey in search of the strongest weapon, the lightning sword. In addition, Blacksmith Kai will make magic items for Aeera.
Blacksmith Kai must prepare a new place for the people who follow him. Kenan returns to earth.
JEGLAAARR!
War preparations begin.
Kenan opened his internet at home; he was so excited. He opened his laptop, looking for a marketplace store. He bought some needed items. The journey this time is very dangerous, and Kai has told him that this trip will be a very tough one.
Kenan must be able to protect Aeera well.
"This is the right thing!" Kenan opened some of the items he could buy. He still has savings. He bought some simple things at the marketplace, and Kenan smiled. He had bought a few things.
HAAHHH!
Kenan smiled, stretched in his chair, and raised both hands up. happy. Kenan seems to have found peace, and he can be of use.
However, a moment later Kenan recalled something he didn't want to remember.
"Step on him!"
"Disarm him!"
AAAAAHHHH!
The chair was pushed back, and Kenan even sat down. He covered his head with both hands. His hands gripped his head tightly; he didn't want to remember anything about his memories of experiencing past torture and humiliation.
That's really embarrassing!
It really hurts!
Kenan gripped his hair tightly; he even grabbed his long hair. His eyes were closed and twitching, and he felt a great helplessness.
No!
I have to save the world, Aeera! I can't be weak.
Kenan's eyes lit up and opened, and he tried to regain his composure. He didn't want to plunge himself into ruin. He was nearly powerless against his agoraphobic disorder. That was because he had been subjected to torture for so long and couldn't do anything about it.
I have to be strong from now on! Aeera is waiting for me; she needs a powerful summoned beast!
Map!
Correct! Kenan remembered the map—a copy of the map that was in the world of Aeera. Kenan will learn everything that is depicted on the map. As long as Kenan hasn't been summoned by Aeera, he will study all the places and details on the map made by Blacksmith Kai.
Kenan tucked the map in a bind near the loop of his pants. There still is! Kenan studied the map carefully. He also marked with his memories the places of cities and hills, wastelands, and the residences of monster kings and demon lords.
There are red marks, which are towers, in two places; each continent has one tower marked with red marks. World Towers! So, what is the function of towers that are towering and red in colour?
There was one thing that Kenan prepared for besides studying maps: he had to exercise. Correct! He must become strong and be able to defeat the Demon Lord and King of the Monsters, who rule the world of Aeera.
Kenan excited! He doesn't care about anything.
He warmed up. He remembered warming up before doing sports. It was part of the lessons at school.
1, 2, 3...
push ups!
Move your arms and legs in sync.
Do all kinds of moves. Kenan just didn't dare to leave his room yet; he did light exercise in his room.
Until he could start to make two advances in his life, First, after starting to eat voraciously the food from his mother, The second progress was that he began to replace his mental disorder by doing light exercise. Usually, he would scream, scream, hit anything, and sit shuffling in the corner of the room, crying.
Now, he is starting to get rid of it little by little by exercising in his room.
He must become strong!

"Aeera, we have to separate."
Blacksmith Kai's voice says he is going to a place on another island. He had already marked on the map that the continent was safe enough from Monsters and Demons. Kai will install the array when he arrives on the island.
Kai and the residents of York City were ready; the ship was in front of them. They had to leave New York City. If the place is known by one of the demon races or monsters. Then they will be attacked later.
"Be careful, Uncle Kai!" said Aeera, and the witches behind Aeera also said their goodbyes. They had all obtained artefacts that were freely given to them by Blacksmith Kai.
"Aeera, keep the necklace left by your mother carefully. Apparently, it will be useful if you guys go on a trip to look for the Lightning Sword."
The Lightning Sword is the sword in the prophecy capable of defeating the Demon King and the Monster King. The sword was hidden in an undetermined location, but the path to the weapon was written on the map.
"Be careful on the road, Uncle Kai," said Aeera again.
"Of course, and this..." Kai took out a staff from under his robe. A staff that has been upgraded by Blacksmith Kai. Kai added a powerful item to Aeera's magic wand that was handed to her yesterday.
"I added a powerful item to absorb mana faster. This will help you keep your magic and divine mana stable. Isn't that what your summoned beast ordered?"
Kai knows that Aeera's summoned creature is different. He is very strong, and perhaps he will be able to bring the prophecy to reality. The dream of a summoned beast to defeat the Demon King and the Monster King
Aeera smiled and was happy.
"This is the best gift I've ever received, Uncle Kai."
They smile at each other.
Blacksmith Kai's group also said goodbye; they boarded the ship first. Before leaving, Kai left behind one of the powerful armies protecting York City. He is Yuhas, a powerful sorcerer who wields a sword. Yuhas was assigned to look after the little girl Aeera, and even Yuhas was assigned to accompany Aeera to get instructions about the legendary weapon, the Lightning Sword.
Yuhas accepted the assignment obediently.
The ship leaves; it's time for Aeera and the witches to return to the Cyprus Academy. Aeera will prepare for a long journey to find a legendary weapon that can defeat the Demon King and the King of Monsters.

"Ting! Tong! Ting! Tong!"
Kenan's doorbell rang.
Kenan knew something; he saw from the window that his mother had gone shopping. Nobody is at home. Kenan's legs were shaking; he was afraid to meet anyone. Even after meeting his mother, Kenan felt unable to
"The package is coming!"
Kenan was still shaking.
"Package is coming! Package! Package!"
Kenan's legs were hard to move, trembling. He was afraid to meet a human after everything that had happened to him.
However ...
Aeera. Kenan's eyes widen; he must be able to fight all his helplessness. He needed that item before being called again by Aeera.
Kenan started holding the doorknob to his room, his hands trembling to open the door.
Aeera!
Aeera!
Aeera!
I must be strong!
Clack!
