Morning rose in the city of Monia. To be more precise on the top floor of a certain hotel owned by a guy with blue curly hair. In that hotel, there was a female elf with brown skin and green hair that was getting awake because of some sort of noise. She got out of her bed and sobered up a bit before changing into her clothes and getting out of her bedroom. She saw that the noise was coming from the living room. It was her companions, as lively as ever, making chaos. Melton was making omelets for breakfast while Henry and Mathias were arguing over something.

"Trust me, man. The stuff I am talking about is real. Real I tell you!" Mathias said. He was looking like a paranoid man trying to convince a news reporter unicorn is real.

"Shut up man. You are just bluffing" Henry said. He looked like someone who was trying to just chase away a said paranoid man with his words.

"But it's a true man. That plant exists. All you have to do is take the leaves, dry them all up, and smoke them like tobacco. AND THEN! YOU BEGIN TO SEE! YOU SEE EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING!" Mathias said, continuing to convince Henry.

"You are nuts. Alcohol must've made your brain rot" Henry replied

In the middle of all that Niha tried to greet them.

"Umm. Hi guys" She said trying to be nice even though she was completely lost

"Oh! It's Meltons property" Mathias blurted. The moment Henry realized what that idiot said he immediately slapped him so Mathias corrected himself

"I mean. It's our companion"

Niha was feeling uncomfortable but she tried to brush it off.

"It's okay. You don't have to be so considerate of me"

"REALLY!?" Mathias said with excitement but Henry slapped him again. The second slap made Niha giggle a bit.

In the corner of the room, Melton was holding a bunch of dishes and started putting them on the table. He managed to do it with great speed and efficiency so everything was set quite quickly. Once it was all done he called them to sit at the table.

"Everyone. The dinner is ready. Wash your hands and no alcohol." Melton said

Mathias sighed and they all went to wash their hands. Upon doing so the breakfast finally began and they started eating and chatting. After a bit of time, Niha mustered up some courage to join the conversation. She felt a bit relieved that they don't seem to mind if she joins too so her day started perfectly. After finishing the meal she went to wash the dishes but Melton said she can relax since the workers will do it themselves. Instead of leaving it, she insisted to do it herself since it was a way she can show her thankfulness for everything she got. Melton thought it was a little weird but he just let it go. When she finished washing the dishes they all went down the seemingly endless spiral of stairs once again and met up with Demi. Demi was wearing some summer stylish shorts and an unbuttoned shirt. His face was radiating a deadly amount of positive energy and confidence. Niha thought it was a bit too much and that he probably has something on his mind that will be a great bother. She looked at her pals and they all looked like something sucked out all of their life force. She gently touched Mathias and politely asked him

"Um. What is wrong sir Mathias?"

"Ugh. I am not sure either but I know it is going to be one big pain in one small ass. Also, don't call me sir I am in peak youth."

"OH MY MY! WHY SUCH FACES DARLINGS! I ONLY GOT A HANDFUL OF LITTLE TASKS!" Demi said with great confidence

"Let us just get over it. This was supposed to be a vacation yet we are working like slaves out here" Henry said

"COME ON DARLING! All you have to do is check a few things and see if is everything finished." Demi said with his hand clinging off of Henry's shoulder. Henry tried to punch him but he dodged it quickly and backed off.

And so they sent them by carriage again. This time they were checking if everything is okay on the beach and they didn't have to do any hard work. Once made sure everything was set up perfectly they were going in the city center to help with the finishing touches. Considering less than two weeks passed by since this town was nothing but dozen houses and a beach infested with all kinds of monsters but now it looks like a city that never sleeps and always parties. Even though it was a very painful and tiring process they felt great relief and pride in what the city of Monia became. Upon helping unusually fast construction workers they went to eat at one of the restaurants that were pretty much erected from the ground with the speed it got built. After lunch, they finally had some time to relax at the beach. It was still hot and nice so they all got some light clothing and went on their more than well-deserved relaxation. Melton and Niha were sunbathing while Henry and Mathias were in the sea. Mathias was teasing Henry that he is a slow swimmer and Henry did not take it lightly so he challenged him to a swimming race. They were swimming across the horizon left and right for quite a while until they got tired and were forced by Melton to go on shore.

When Mathias and Henry dried up properly they all went to grill some meat on the beach. Do you wonder where they got both the grill and the meat suddenly? Another magic of Demi and his unusually efficient workers. They decided to roast some nice meat on skewers along with some vegetables. They had a lot of fun on the beach even though Melton and Niha were the only people capable of cooking something without starting a nationwide fire. When they cleaned everything up and called someone to pick it up Demi just appeared out of a carriage.

"Darlings today is the official opening of brand new and improved Monia! It is stated by the law I made up on the spot that we are to party !" Demi said and clapped his hands a few times. The moment his third slap was heard few carriages appeared and dragged our crew to the city which was now completely lit up. It was very beautiful and there was a great crown which was not here a few hours ago. Demi explained that he called up a few people to celebrate and also did a few things related to acquiring new citizens. Once they all got through the back of the crown security let them pass on a platform that was not there a few hours ago when they were in the city. They stayed behind while Demi gave a speech.

"HELLO MONIA! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT TO START YOUR NEW LIFE! FROM NOW ON MONIA WILL BE A CITY THAT WILL RIVAL THE CAPITAL ITSELF SO LET US CELEBRATE IN THE NAME OF SUCCESS!"

Suddenly everyone started cheering and the butler Demi hired swiftly started serving people drinks. There were various sorts of drinks from champagne and whiskey to cocktails such as Mojito and Blue Lagoon. Everyone seemed happy and satisfied with what Demi just did so the atmosphere was quite pleasant. Melton decided to get drinks for everyone and they celebrated at a table backstage together with Demi. They were enjoying the view and chatting.

"You see Demi. Even though you are a damned tyrant working us to the bone you seem to know how to do things properly" Melton said while sipping on whiskey.

"You can't do a job unless you do it properly dear" Demi replied

"So? What's next" Melton asked

"Isn't that the joy of life? The mystery of the future." Demi said

"You are right I guess," Melton said and finished his whiskey. After that, he decided to go to bed early and rest a bit but before he had the time to do so guards were surrounding them.

"What the hell is this?" Melton said and put his guard up. He knew that if anything went bad it was better to take a few heads than to lose one. The guards bade space for a man to move and he went straight towards him and kneeled.

"I beg for forgiveness for interrupting you sir but you've got a message from the crown prince"

"Oh. So he got something on his mind?" Demi said

"Indeed. But I am just a lowly imperial messenger and do not possess any knowledge of what His Highness may think. All I know is that you have to arrive at the palace as soon as possible."

Demi turned around to Melton and the rest of the gang and said " Guess you guys sleeping in the carriage tonight" and clapped his hands. When he did so his workers immediately appeared with bags that were filled with the stuff our crew left in their hotel and they were immediately sent to the carriage on the way to the capital. Demi and Messenger went in the first carriage, Melton and Niha in the second carriage and Mathias and Henry ended up together in the last carriage. Without delaying any further the horses started going and they were going to meet a prince. Is he going to be a new friend? Is he going to be a new foe or rival? What is he going to bring to the story? You will have to find that out at a later date for now.
