Shazara realized... time flew without care and the people of Ryuushaku were the same. She realized how much Días and Hiaski grew for the past 3 years and two months while she remained the same. Not only that. She also realized that 365 days were 1 year outside of Ryuushaku Region. While the body of the people in Ryuushaku took longer to age. 730 days were a year so the people of Ryuushaku would age every two years and the non-Ryuushaku would age every year.

At the moment Shazara is 15 years old(the Ryuushaku age) and soon would be 16 while Hiaski, who was 16 four years ago, is 20 and Días, who used be 9, is 13. But if Shazara had to calculate her years then it would be... 30 years old so basically she was allowed to marry Hakuyuu but she wanted to keep a secured 'safe' for her soon to be husband and both her and his country.

At the moment she had opened many stores that was selling few fruits, vegetables and fishes from her land under the name of Fanfan. Ryuushaku was gaining money which they didn't really need and they only use it when they wanted to try eating something that wasn't from their country which was rarely. Her growing company was doing well and her customers were asking for more of their products. Slowly she was increasing the amount of the products.

Shazara was enjoying her tea that she had prepared herself while Hiaski and Dias were training to become stronger and protect both their savior and the what they had built together, the Fanfan company.

"Shazara-sama," Shazara yelped and had let her cup drop but it was quickly caught in someone's hand.

"Veiron!"

Veiron was her half-brother from her father's side. He had taken the leadership first before handing it to Shazara. Veiron had dark wine locks and hazel eyes that were under his mask.

The fanalis heard the commotion and turned their heads toward to it. They knew Veiron. After all Veiron had joined their travels and also helped build Fanfan.

"Good evening Veiron," Hiaski said politely and Días greeted Veiron with his own, "Sup Veiron!"

Veiron only nodded towards their direction and guided his attention back to Shazara. Shazara spoke with a smile.

"If you are here then the task is completed then?"

Veiron nodded before adding, "yes but something happened today."

Shazara's eyes sharpen behind her mask as she waited for her brother to continue.

"A tower has risen 15 meters from the coast."

"No one has entered?"

Veiron nodded in confirmation.

Shazara nodded in understanding but was still confused about the tower itself.

But she couldn't exactly leave the company alone... It was true that she had opened many markets in Reim, Balbadd and Parthevia and was about to go to Heliohapt to open another one but if she left it alone... what if someone came and attacked?

"My lady, you may go ahead. Veiron, Días and I will watch the stores for you."

Shazara perked up at Hiaski's voice. Oh right, she had Hiaski and Veiron for that... she didn't need to worry because Hiaski could be at any store in a matter of seconds. How?

Well let's take an example of this shop. The storage room for this store actually opens the time and space magic room that connects to the rest of the store's storage room door but also to her basement room's door back at Ryuushaku, where all the fresh products where. The only way to enter or for the magic to activate was the magic emerald rock that Shazara had created. The emerald jewel only worked on Hiaski and Veiron who has their own piece. Días couldn't use it. Shazara had soaked the jewel on Hiaski's blood so the key would only react to Hiaski. Veiron had his own too. It was almost the same as the amethyst stones but different. Shazara could come and go through the door whenever she wanted because she was the caster. As for Días, the moment he opens the door it would only guide him to an empty storage room. Días had received one but he had gotten too excited and left the store unattended and for punishment, his key was confiscated and he was watch the Reim store for 5 months. Veiron, Shazara's sister and 4 other people Shazara met during her travels between Reim and Parthevia would help in the stores that were located in Pathervia which were 6 stores and Hiaski would watch the stores in Reim which were 4 but Días would watch one of the four.

Shazara didn't have to worry for Hiaski's and Días's protection because she had forced them to swallow a ruby. The small ruby was created by Shazara's magic. Anyone who got close with an ill-intent would immediately bring up a borg.

Shazara was glad she had created that because Días had almost been dragged back into slavery. He had swallowed the ruby and had gone out to buy some food for Shazara and Hiaski when a slave-trader tried to capture him by whipping him but the ruby had activated immediately. Shazara had been gone out to look for Días until she saw the slave-trader trying to get to Días and she had intercepted and made the slave-trader pay a fee for trying to hurt her friend.

After that no one ever tried to hurt Días or Hiaski and for caution, she made Veiron, her sister eat the ruby too.

"Okay then, I trust you three to watch the stores while I am at the tower," Shazara said as she stood up and walked to the storage room.

"Of course my lady," they said behind her as she entered the time and space magic. She went through the door of her underground room and saw all the fresh products and a few of her people organizing the area.

They greeted her with a smile before returning to their task.

Shazara greeted back wholeheartedly while taking her mask off. as she pulled off her mask.

"Shazara," a feminine voice called out.

Shazara turned to see her other half sibling, Meralda. She was also from her father's side. Meralda had dark brown locks and hazel eyes. She handed a scroll to Shazara.

"Please check this week's sale and also the quantity of our products" she explain and followed Shazara as they climbed up the stairs.

"The sale is going up and our quantity is more than enough. The company is growing but I want to make our customers desire more of our products to the point where they have to kill to have it so let's not raise any more quantities for the products in the shop," Shazara informed. The cocoa powder were selling sky rocket and the avocado was loved by everyone. The guabina fish were all gone the moment it was set out. The flowers were out the moment it was set for people to see. Shazara was overwhelmingly happy. She couldn't wait to open shops for their furniture products and their clothes too. Their company would be the top trading companies ever but Shazara didn't want to attract too much attention. Not yet at least. She wouldn't rival against the Sindria trading company.

As Shazara came out of the basement with Meralda, Meralda took out another scroll and handed it to Shazara.

"We have suggestions for this summer's products."

Shazara nodded and took the scroll to open and read it.

"Tayberries, boysenberries and the lychee nuts are good..." Shazara said thoughtfully.

"Actually, we all thought we should open one seafood restaurant on summer and a meat restaurant on winter."

Shazara's eyes shined at the idea and smiled widely.

"That's such a great idea!"

Even though Shazara already had the idea in mind she wouldn't say it. Not because she was afraid they would reject her ideas but because she wanted her people to agree with it without her pressuring them. They would give the ideas when they thought and felt they could handle it.

Her people loved giving ideas after all. They all thought it was fun to give ideas and working hard on it, although they did not exactly interact with the outside except for Veiron and Meralda who helped in the shops.

"Oh yes, the imperial clan of Kina tried to come in again."

Shazara frowned and stopped walking. The king of Kina was being persistent in coming. Shazara wasn't sure if the Imperial Kina knew that Ryuushaku existed but if they didn't know then they wouldn't be this persistent in coming in. They most likely knew that Ryuushaku was real.

"I will deal with them after my marriage," Shazara said and went towards the coast.

"We prepared the boat and necessary stuff we thought you might need."

"Thank you for the hard work," Shazara said and made her way to the shore. Her people greeted her as she went through until she was near the gates. She wore her mask again before stepping out. She was excited of the adventure waiting for her.

Shazara gazed at the tall tower and she couldn't wait to enter just so she could see what it was stored for her.

She pressed her hand against the entrance and went in where she would blink and she was in whole another world... The dungeon.

Shazara looked up ahead and saw a door. It was well built but old. Shazara opened the door to see a table with some antiques on it and the table place in front of the entrance of a labyrinth. Shazara looked over to see the antiques and noticed that the table had been carved. "Choose the path you seek."

On it was placed, a golden sword, a bell and many coins of gold.

"The path I seek?" Shazara smiled and she grabbed the bell and attached it to her haori for the moment.

As she walked into the labyrinth her bell sounded. The soundwave traveled across the whole labyrinth and it bounced back to her, leaving a map imprinted in her mind. Shazara smiled as she travelled through the labyrinth and finally met a door which she opened.

She stepped in the middle of the room and the door disappeared.

"Welcome," a voice rumbled and Shazara smiled.

"Good work everyone!" Shazara said as she dried her hair.

She had just cleared the dungeon and she was left in water while the treasures safely landed on the waiting boat.

"How much time was I in there?" she let her hair fall so she could start wringing her robes dry.

"A month with two weeks," responded Meralda, "we were starting to get worried."

Shazara laughed good heartedly.

"This isn't the first time I enter a dungeon and you still worried?"

Meralda only shook her head in annoyance.

"What will you be doing?" she asked.

Shazara tilted her head in thought. In a few weeks Shazara was turning 16 so she had to go to Kou soon and after that go to Heliohapt to open a store. Kina could wait a lifetime.

"I will be going to Kou," Shazara finally said.

"Is my room at Kou ready to receive me?"

Meralda nodded and Shazara was good to go when she reached Ryuushaku. She went back to her house and changed to a proper attire before opening the door of her closet and walked inside and outside of the closet inside of her room in the palace of Kou.

Smiling to herself with excitement, Shazara ran out of her room and towards the training grounds would be. Yes, the gift she had given him was guiding her. It was telling her that the one she loves is behind the door that was nearing her impatient hands.

"Hakuyuu!" she slammed opened the door
