Standing at the now opened ramp door of the Airship and gotten the glimpse of the busy, Aero Port in New Sunders City, Anita and Jana were carefully listening to Corporal Amanda on her teaching to them about why an ID were important to Aeternum. For the pair of young lady that were about to get one, they were particularly interested to know why, and Corporal Amanda were not stingy at all to let them know the reasons why, as for her such inquiry is not at all a stranger to her, and for as long as she has been tasked with transporting a lot of people to Sunders City, she had been talking about the same talking point quite multiple times already. Naturally being a helpful person as she is and also a Proud Aeternum, she definitely does not felt averse at all to explained it to them.“...By the way, Corporal Amanda….why…are this ID is so important?…..”.(Anita)“Huh?..”.(Corporal Amanda)Naturally when she was asked like this by Anita were blurred a little bit, but she knew about the girl,
At this point both ladies were already able to dismiss their discomfort and settled their curiosity, finally they know as to why Aeternum really adamant about their ID Cards so much, it not because it provided them with a certainty of their identity, but also through the ID card, they will now, be truly be cared by the nation and not just getting some empty promised like their lord and ruler used to always said to them, and instead all the got were being forgotten as the time went on.“The ID were more than just a symbol and the way to connect with the government….but lets think about it…look all around you….in Aeternum, when it comes to interacting with the people….everything that is related to the connection with government and people…it was done perfectly and with care….All the other government and monarchy in these world…when they get on the throne…they always throws away sweet an empty promises…..but, when they were before you…they gave you no respect at all, they didn’t help you
Being apart of Aeternum as it’s citizens, is always something that the Alemia Nation people wanted ever since they have gotten the first taste of it. They all know just how good it felt and just how beneficial it would be for them and their future. It is because, unlike their own nation governance that has been given them nothing but suffering, in Aeternum everyone were able to live happily and without worries at all, now that is something that everyone wanted and deemed as a perfect living conditions, especially in the medieval times, when only living alone is already something that is very hard and complicated to do. At this moment, everyone who already saw the big changes in Sunders City had already known for sure that, this city is no longer a it’s old one and governed by that ungrateful and evil Baron. Instead this city, is now under Aeternum governance and also, it means, it is a new city that is Apart of Aeternum, thus everyone can anticipate many new things.“Ma’am Corporal!…t
“It is not just packed…it is busy as heck, as well…”.(Jana)“Although, despite the big numbers of people here…for some reason everything were moving accordingly….look…there is now commotion at all…”.(Anita)“Yeah, you were right..”.(Jana)Only those that observed carefully can see it, although the area were heavily populated with people, there is no disorder at all, in fact, everything just move constantly like a water in a river flow. Villagers like them, that came out of their Airship, were guided to someone and they they entered a bus, then got out of this place, those that comes into the area, with their vehicle, move around and parked then entered the Airship, Airship leave and a new one entered it’s place. It is a constant moving actions but yet, everything were moving steadily and without any interruption. Anita and Jana together with their fellow villagers were moving to their designated area, with the lead of Corporal Amanda at the head of the pack, and they were moving at a
Anita, Jana and the villagers finally stopped moving as they were in front of the bus that they were supposed to be. Corporal Amanda went forward together with Village Chiefs to talk to the Officer that were waiting for them. And being at the front of the pack, Anita and Jana were able to hear their conversation.“Morning Corporal…Good morning, Village Chiefs…You all are coming from Airship 035, Correct?..”.(Specialist Oghar)“Yes, Sir…Corporal Amanda of Airship 035, Under Captain Joanette of Royal Air Force, Sir….arriving with 4 Village, Villagers…all villagers were accounted for and safely arrived…”.(Corporal Amanda)“Understood…...…”.(Specialist Oghar)The appearance of Specialist Oghar were something that no one have ever expected at all, and it instilled fear on every single soul that looked at him, especially the villagers, why, it is because Specialist Oghar is a 2 meter tall, muscly, scarred face, Orc. A well known fierce and blood thirsty race that always instille
Anita, Jana, as well as everyone around that listened to their conversation, naturally nodded their head in agreement, after all, everyone can see that, Aeternum have a lot of races in their masses and they all just lived along with each others nicely, and in a constant harmony, no one were disrespecting with each others, and now thanks to this everyone knows that Aeternum are really serious in making sure that their culture will stayed as it is.“I see…so, that means, me and my folks has passed then?…”.(Rose Village Chief Ori)“Hahaha….with flying marks, Chief Ori…”.(Specialist Oghar)“Oh thank god!….to me, Young man…I don’t really care how you look or who you are….seeing that you are wearing that military uniform I know that you are dependable like any Aeternum officer I have meet…besides, I have dealt with a lot of people of all kind….so I know which is a good person and who are not…..”.(Rose Village Chief Ori)“Your are Certainly wise, Ma’am…”.(Specialist Oghar)“Yeah, sure I am…s
Seeing all the villagers were excited to get on the bus and be marveled at the comfort it provides, bring a smiles to Corporal Amanda and Specialist Orghar faces, as the crowd were getting on board the bus and settled on their seat, Both of the Aeternum soldiers take a time to talks a little bit, after all, for Corporal Amanda there were some development that somehow new for her just now.“Lovely Crowd right, Sir….”.(Corporal Amanda)“Yeah it is….and all of them deserved the kind of work and contributions that we provide for them….not gonna lie thou…..there were quite a problematic people before your batch here…”.(Specialist Oghar)“Oh really?…what kind?…”.(Corporal Amanda)“You know…the usual kind….the stupid self indulgent people, an obvious racist….and a lot more…there were even a Noble’s in disguised as well…and that guy really just intolerable…”.(Specialist Oghar)“That must be hard, right, Sir?…”.(Corporal Amanda)“Oh it definitely is….one of our officer got punch in the face fo
For corporal Amanda, her job at the moment is alreadyconclude, but not entirely as she and Airship 035 still have more transport job to do, after all there were about close to a million people in Eastern Alemia Region right now, and all of them had to become an Aeternum Citizens with appropriate credentials as soon as possible. Although it seems rather impractical to transport a lot of people to a single place, but as a low level Aeternum officers, for Corporal Amanda and Specialist Orghar, they were only doing their duty and stayed with their order.The new convoy of buses made their way into the city, and as always for the crowds inside the bus, the sight of the new city, the hustle and bustle of it, that seems to be a sight that they ave never seen before on this city, does made everyone shocked and in awe, seeing it from the top and seeing it up close and be in the midst of it, certainly very interesting to everyone, the city itself already came to life, there were a lot of const
Mrs. Jamey blinked. “Pardon?”The Queen’s proposal was gentle but clear. “Our kingdom—Lirya—is small, yes. But we have abundant cotton, some of the finest silk-spinning traditions in our mountain region, and a rising population of tailors looking for stable work. Nicole’s… would be cherished there.”It wasn’t long before other leaders joined the conversation. Prince Thelric spoke of his nation’s dye-producing forests. A dwarven delegate mentioned an offer to help forge enchanted weaving machines. Everyone wanted to be the first to secure Nicole’s expansion.Mr. Jamey chuckled, both overwhelmed and humbled. “We always thought expansion meant bigger cities in Aeternum. But… I suppose we’ve been looking too closely. Nicole’s could mean something far more if we carry her name into the world.”By the time the sun began to set, the Jameys had exchanged contact crystals with six different representatives. Nicole’s might soon go international.And Nicole’s was just the beginning. Across New C
“It is said that if knowledge was water,” said their guide, a half-elf librarian named Vestra, “then Aeternum’s library is the ocean.”In a grand central chamber, they passed under a dome showing a starmap that changed with real-time sky positions. Every known nation had a section—yes, even the smallest and poorest. Aeternum had made it a point of pride to gather the history of every people in the continent, even those now forgotten by time.“This is… our old crest,” Queen Inariel whispered, her fingertips trembling as she reached toward an illuminated tome. “From three centuries ago… when our land was still one forest, before the wars divided it…”“We thought this was lost,” murmured Thelric as he came upon a scroll written in his kingdom’s ancient language, long dead and unspoken.Their tour grew quiet. There was no mocking here, no pompous declarations of Aeternum’s superiority. Only quiet reverence. A nation this strong, this secure, chose to preserve—not dominate. It guarded the
A knock at the door interrupted the quiet hum.It was Director Kwak Lum, again dressed in his signature dark blue robes, his draconic features smiling as he entered.“Honored guests,” he said, bowing respectfully. “Allow me to welcome you, on behalf of the Aeternum Crown and President Mies Sai. You are the first stars to light the Summit’s sky, and we are honored by your presence.”The gathered leaders rose and bowed in return.“We will ensure your time here is not just comfortable,” Kwak Lum continued, “but fruitful. Tours of the city have been arranged. Economic delegates will arrive within days for pre-summit discussions. And the Four-Leaf’s hot springs are now fully prepared—though I dare say our chefs may be the true stars of the Resort.”Laughter rippled through the room.As Kwak Lum left, Queen Inariel turned to the others. “Let them come in airships. Let them come with fanfare and marching bands. We came with purpose.”“And humility,” Brogath added.“Let’s make sure the world
Ambassador Roland cleared his throat. “Director Kwak… if I may speak freely?”“Always, Ambassador Roland.”He stood, brushing a hand across his waistcoat. “We are humbled. To house our people in such a place… it is more than any of us expected. We… we feared being seen as the weaker voices among the UNA.”Kwak Lum’s smile broadened, his eyes gleaming like starlight. “We do not see you as weak. We see you as family.”The moment lingered in silence, the kind that needs no words. Roland sat down; cheeks slightly flushed but heart a little lighter.Outside, beyond the floor-to-ceiling window, the sprawling city continued its dance of preparation. Massive floral displays were being installed at the roundabout leading to the Summit Plaza. Colorful banners were raised in quick succession, displaying the names of each arriving nation. Already, the delegation from the Dukedom of Angela had arrived in a train of shimmering glass carriages. The Republic of Telvinia’s airship hovered just beyond
“Attention citizens of the Free Nation,” a cheerful voice echoed across cobblestone streets, “this is an international broadcast. In four weeks’, time, the UNA Summit will commence in New City, Aeternum. Thirty-one proud nations will stand together under one flag of progress, cooperation, and shared security. We celebrate an era of peace—an age of unity…”The words echoed like thunder in the council chamber.Outside, people paused to listen. While many among the elite scowled and turned away, others in the lower districts paused, curious. Some even smiled. The promise of unity, safety, and growth was seductive—especially to the common folk, burdened by Triangle Guild’s centuries of unchecked power and exorbitant fees.Kennedy noticed it. “Look at them… even our own people are considering it.”“They’re weak,” Carn muttered. “They don’t understand what’s at stake.”Alphonse’s brow furrowed. “Or maybe they do. Maybe they’re tired of being bled dry by guild taxes and levies. Aeternum gave
In New City, President Kaiser Mies Sai met with his advisors. The room buzzed with discussions about the upcoming summit and the potential threats from dissenting nations.Advisor Elena: "Mr. President, intelligence reports suggest increased propaganda from the Principality. They aim to discredit the summit and our initiatives."President Mies: "We anticipated resistance. Our focus remains on unity and progress. Let their words be drowned by the chorus of cooperation and shared prosperity."The President's resolve was clear. The UNA would not be deterred by the dissent of those clinging to outdated and oppressive ideologies.As the summit drew nearer, the world watched with bated breath. Supporters of the UNA saw it as a beacon of hope and collaboration, while detractors viewed it as a threat to their traditional power structures.In the Principality of Light, the Church intensified its rhetoric, urging its followers to resist the UNA's influence. Yet, whispers of dissent emerged even
The Ministry of Infrastructure has begun preparations to reroute major traffic corridors to accommodate the anticipated diplomatic convoys and foreign delegates. The Ministry of Culture is also curating a week-long cultural exposition to showcase Aeternum’s diversity and progress.President Mies’ spokesperson confirmed that multiple major policy announcements are expected during the summit’s plenary sessions, including topics rumored to include:Official designation of the Aeternum Credit as the UNA’s preferred trade currency. Establishment of the UNA Education Oversight Bureau. Expansion of continental transport infrastructure, and. Strengthened defense cooperation under UNA guidelinesNo foreign media has yet been granted interview access to the President ahead of the summit, but sources within the Black House suggest the upcoming event is being viewed as “a generational turning point.”"The world is watching. The people are ready. And in five weeks’ time, New City will become more
Aeternum would continue to offer education, security, and infrastructure assistance—but always in a way that ensured we maintained our lead.We would teach them how to build schools, but we would own the publishing rights to the most advanced textbooks. We would help them create local militias, but they would still call for Aeternum troops when true threats loomed.We would help them modernize, industrialize, prosper—but they would know, always know, that Aeternum had already blazed the trail further ahead. I didn’t want vassals. I wanted allies who could never quite catch up—because they didn’t need to. They needed us to lead.I rose from my chair and walked toward the window. New City stretched into the horizon, its shining towers and clean streets proof of what discipline and vision could achieve.If left alone, the world would fall back into darkness. If left to their own devices, these medieval kings and nobles would tear each other apart again. The future needed guardians. The U
I knew what was at stake. We had to uphold this example. We had to show, beyond doubt, that the age of “Human First” was over.That the only supremacy left was the supremacy of character. Wisdom. Unity. Vision. And if we could carve that truth into the very soul of the UNA—if we could bury the old hatreds under libraries, not graves—then maybe, just maybe, this world could finally, finally leave its chains behind.I stood up from my chair, moving to the window. Out there, the city pulsed—an endless, living testament to what was possible when walls were torn down, not built higher. I closed my eyes for a moment. I didn’t want to be remembered as the conqueror of nations. I wanted to be remembered as the architect of a new era.One where no child was born inferior. One where no citizen was condemned by the shape of their ears or the color of their skin or the tail on their back. One where power didn’t mean oppression—but opportunity.Aeternum would be the beacon. And the UNA? The vessel
