It exists. In a faraway place, beyond the reach of anyone, outlying and isolated from other realms, remains a domain name 'Aurara'. The beautiful place was beyond the reach of any mortals. The basic law of physics didn't exist as the land size of an island was literally floating in the air. And the number of islands wasn't small either. Actually, it would be great if you could see the land from this place. Looking below, you could only see a massive dense of white clouds. If not for the distorted space below and weird-looking sky, it could be mistaken that it was the country formed into the sea of clouds above the earth.

Saying the weird sky was an understatement. Sure, in comparison to the earth, it sure was somewhat weird but its weirdness was extremely beautiful. So elegant and artistic, it was just mesmerizing. The sky was filled with auroras despite it not being a terrestrial pole, maybe it was, who knows as the realm didn't have the round planetary shape. Even then, doubt there is magnetosphere disturbance caused by the solar wind. And more amazing factor was that the sky wasn't just covered with green lights, but also with many rainbow colors. The sky looked just as fantastic as it could as those amazing lights patterned around the moons with many different colors.

Three moons had their own name but let's leave it for a later date. Anyway, just the point was, the world wasn't what you would call earth. In fact, you can't see a single creature called pokemon in that world. All it had was actually quite normal animals, no more than that. Their world was developed more than our current world, in fact far more developed. Especially with all these aurae following around. For example, Even the train that was connected to one island with other was actually run using the energy called an Aura. They were master when handling the aura around.

Midst such beautiful scenario, then what was that thing that was creating bent on such fascinating place? Who were those people creating disturbance within such mesmerizing accommodation? Just kidding. Well, even though these two people were roaring, it wasn't causing annoyance with the small audience watching them. It wasn't because their shouting was a normal occurrence, in fact, both of them were prideful and highly respected people by society. They were also in the highest position within the country of Aurara. One was the king and another one, the prince.

The one with the beard that could give Mr. Santa the run for his money was no other than the king of this realm, King Ban. This was probably for the first time the most of his aides saw him this angry and over his own son nonetheless. If they were bickering, the people of such high position, the ruler of the realm, then sure, it couldn't be just some catfight. While it wasn't public, citizens didn't get involved but the close aides were still able to make how horrible the current situation was. Of course, no one dared to show it in their face. Putting the poker face, they watched the exploding of father and son.

While they should do something about such a situation but it was indeed over their path. Their battle of voice was enough to remind everyone in the room just how problematic the situation was. And such development was caused by non-other than his own son. Prince of Aurara, son of king Bam and Elaine, and candidate king of Aurara, his name soared through the sky of Aurara... known far and wide as the ruler of superbia, Ash.

"You have no idea how powerful 'Pandora' is... Do you have any idea just what Pandora is? No son no. You just released a calamity upon all the infinite realms. You aren't fit to be a king." After lots of shouting, the bickering eyes of the old king died down. No matter what he says, the deed was already done. His own son issued the threat upon all these worlds. His son was problematic and time just made him more. His hope that his son would learn on his own lost with the flow of time.

It wasn't that he was stupid, in fact, he was loved by everyone. It was just that his head was filled with pride that he couldn't let go of his own ego. He can't through himself at defeat and that's why he wasn't fit to be a king. "Ain't fit to be one. Don't fuck with me. Unlike you, I'm not a coward to hide from the inner threat." Of course, why would he back down too? He didn't even know where he went wrong. His adrenaline was full of young blood and battle, why would he let go of such amusement? And that amusement was what led him to all these scoldings.

"You can't even accept your mistake?" The old man pointed around him as visible displays displaying the different parts of the realm appeared there. "Look at all these people. They are your people and you released the disaster upon them."

"No, I didn't." Ash shook his head. "I want to protect their smile. That's why I want to destroy the lurking shadow before it could manifest. Unlike you, I would be the king who would kill his enemy rather than hiding." The king raised his hand raining down near Ash's check, only to stop a centimeter away. Could he really though? In the end, it was his own fault for not stopping his own son. He knew how prideful his son was and how bloodthirsty, it was he who turned blind eye to it. If only he thought the boy, maybe... just maybe...

He cupped both of Ash's cheek as his eyes turned soft, "Listen Ash, a true king may fall but he never yields. Wield that integrity to put a hold to Pandora."

"No father, if a king stands still, yielding may it never come."

King Ban swayed, "Such naivety. Learn my son." Then the old king put his index finger in the forehead of Ash, "DOTUVOIDRUKEZAVOIDKIKABUTERURUTERUBU." The moment those weird words left his mouth, some unknown pattern appeared in Ash's forehead before vanishing into his skin. "Ash, Prince of Aurara, from now on, you are banished from the land of Aurara and no longer Aurarian. May thee seek the trail and halt what thou transpired."

"Don't fuc-" Before Ash could finish his own sentence, he was suddenly sucked into the wormhole, disappearing from the sight of everyone. As the king watched his son, he looked at the bewitching multicolored sky enchanted with billions of stars and three different colored moons. And for what the old king was thinking, no one knows...

Arc 1: END [Underwater Lab Escape]

Afterword:

Thank you very much for reading and supporting this fiction. I didn't think much when writing this fiction but seeing that many were following and favoriting it, I just couldn't keep my hand folded at one end. There are many things I could say sorry like my slow updating pace and small chapters and likewise. Writing on the basis of 1500 words per chapter, maximum up to 2000 and laze around 1000, maybe even lower... Sorry about it and for my poor grammar too. Well, if you have read my profile, then I'm sure how my updates work. As long as I'm not being distracted by my own favorites things, I would keep on writing.

Aside from all these, when I tried to write this fiction, I was trying to create Ash remarkably powerful but decided to hold back. I tried to create him into a powerful dragon but later changed his claw into a paw. And sure, Ash's power level would increase as he discovers the mystery over his own birth and about aura too. He would get stronger while solving the mysteries around him. Also for the introduction chapter, I included the backstory too. Well, I would like to say, while it did touch their story, I wanted to tell how much Tracey loved his wife and Blaine's obsession over subjects. I started because I wanted to tell the stupid ideas over aura about then I thought, let's just keep it for later.

Once again, really really thank you for reading and if you have any thought over it, please don't hesitate to let me know. Also, you can give me ideas and plans. I would be really grateful. Please keep on supporting me. Thank you very much.

Yours truly,
YUU...

Damn, I would say... Just writing all those afterword is getting me nauseous. Do you all really enjoy when someone... I don't know, use some flowery words... Hell no... I don't really care if you read it or not. If you love it, feel free to. If not, just fuck it... While what I said above wasn't wrong so I guess I could say, tha... than... tanku... Whatever... Just be glad that you are getting to read the story written by a real dragon... Whahaha... Don't think this me being awkward... This is pure SARCASM. Oh, and I don't love S&M play. Don't mistake.

Also for everyone who loved this series, I would keep on writing as long as I don't have to battle with Covid. Well, for your information, even a majestic dragon such as myself can be vulnerable to such a dangerous disease. So, for a mortal being like yourself, be careful and try to keep yourself safe alright... OK... A-ahem, I-i'm not being nice. Hmph... I'm a majesty itself... You think a NEET can't be majestic... Oh, suck it up...

Well, this would be the last time I will ever write something like this (probably). Just so you know I would probably be glad for your thoughts too... Probably alright...

Then, see ya... next time...

P.s. You don't have to give the fuck about the above chapter. It is just extra... Well, it might connect to later release but for now, it would be nothing more than a disorder chapter... So you can choose to do whatever you want.

P.p.s Ash got caught at the end, so why didn't the old man try to do the same... Because of the plot...
