On Duskrice 4, 1850 AC (Arbiter Calendar), High Elder Arwen instructed Alistair to stand and calm his thoughts using one of his abilities. "At ease, young one. There is no need to feel pressured by this," High Elder Arwen said as he looked into Alistair's eyes. "Hmm... Seems normal, Aura Materialization Realm, with an Aura Color Level 5. Nothing seems extraordinary, I see. Perhaps you are simply very lucky to have found these treasures."
Alistair then moved the custom-made treasure chest outside so that the governors of different cities and the Cardinals of Seraphine could witness the power they had sensed. "Young Alistair, I shall be the one to appraise the sword that young Selene was unable to assess," High Elder Arwen declared. Alistair nodded in agreement as High Elder Arwen pulled out the powerful sword. It unleashed a beam of light into the sky, and everyone present felt the sword's immense power.
"I see, to think I would witness a legendary sword," High Elder Arwen remarked. The crowd was surprised to hear the mention of a Legendary Sword. Lady Selene then asked, "What kind of Legendary Sword is it, High Elder?"
High Elder Arwen replied, "This legendary sword is known as the King of the Sea: Tidebreaker. It was created by Captain Vaedric V. Seastone during his historic naval battles against the Neutrality Continent, which took place over 1,000 years ago. The Freedom and Neutrality Continents no longer wage war against each other; now, only internal conflicts persist."
"What intrigues me is that this sword is of the finest quality; it hasn't shown any signs of wear, including its durability and power effects. As a historical relic from over a thousand years ago, selling it would yield an unimaginable sum. It would be better to store it in the Grand Relic Museum or return it to the Seastone Family Household. However, I am unsure if any of their descendants are still alive."
Everyone present reacted with cheers, greed, shock, and a mix of other emotions, especially the governors from various cities, who now had their eyes on the weapon. High Elder Arwen noticed the change in atmosphere, as did Lady Selene and the members of the Cardinals of Seraphine. There was a high likelihood that something would happen if one of the governors attempted to steal the weapon out of greed for power.
Suddenly, the system informed Alistair that it would call someone to address this "tiny problem." Alistair thought to himself, questioning why it was considered a tiny problem, but the system did not respond and ignored his query. Moments later, as the tension surrounding the Legendary Sword escalated, a figure appeared in the sky, breaking through space as she descended. Those present at the Aura Empowerment Realm recognized her presence and immediately knelt in respect. Those of lower status followed suit only when they saw her face.
As everyone spoke in unison, "Greetings, Lady Celestra Altair Sunstrike!" she released an aura of pressure directed at specific individuals, particularly the governors, to quell their ambitious thoughts regarding the Legendary Sword. She started descending down from the sky and spoke, "Hunter Alistar, you may rise." Alistair slowly rise up, as Lady Celestra brought a scroll that was releasing divine aura and spoke:
"In accordance with the will of the Goddess of Aura, the bearer Alistair from Leaf Village is hereby entrusted with a Divine Mission."
"By divine recognition, Alistair shall walk the path of aura and seek the hidden truths of its origin, flow, and boundless potential. This mission shall be undertaken alone, guided only by the bearer's will, discipline, and understanding of aura."
"No fixed time binds this mission, for the path of aura reveals itself only to those who endure."
"Let it be known that this mission is not to be spoken of beyond those who witness this divine accordance. All present shall keep silent and guard this secret."
"Should any individual reveal the existence or purpose of this Divine Mission without divine sanction, the Divine Judgment of the Goddess of Aura shall fall upon them without mercy."
"That is all, Alistair of Leaf Village. You shall receive the Divine Mission bestowed by the Goddess of Aura. You may embark on your journey as soon as possible to explore the endless possibilities of the Two Arbiter Continents of Freedom and Neutrality."
Everyone present was in total shock that Alistair, at his young age, had received the first Divine Mission in 1,000 years. This was a historic moment, marking him as the twelfth human to receive a Divine Mission in that time, though it could not be officially recorded in the Historical Records of Humanity due to the Accordance of the Goddess of Aura. However, those who witnessed this event kept it in their hearts.
Inside his thoughts, Alistair asked the system what the purpose of this mission was. The system responded that he would need outside experience and that the Divine Mission was merely an excuse. When Alistair asked if the system was the Goddess of Aura, it replied no, stating that it was much older and more powerful than the Goddess of Aura and the other two goddesses of this world. Confused, Alistair realized he only knew of three goddesses, leaving the existence of the system a mystery.
Suddenly, Alistair's mother stood up. "No, I won't allow my son to embark on a Divine Mission. He is still young and inexperienced." Lady Celestra looked at her with a serious expression. "I apologize, Madam. As one of the Apostles who follow the Goddess of Aura, I am only here to relay her message. Anything beyond that is beyond my control."
Alistair's mother, Astrid, began to tear up at the thought of her son embarking on his journey. Then, Lady Celestra presented another scroll. "Due to the sudden announcement of Alistair's Divine Mission, his family—Madam Astrid and his two older sisters, Lady Ismeria and Lady Lyra—will be compensated with a new family name, bestowed by the Goddess of Aura Blessings. From now on, they will be known as the Dawnstrike family. They will also receive a small plot of land to the south of the City of Valor. Additionally, the legendary sword, the King of the Sea: Tidebreaker, will be safeguarded by the Cardinals of Seraphine."
"My purpose here is complete. I regret the circumstances of your son's divine mission, and I wish young Alistair a safe journey," Lady Celestra said. With that, she used Aura Flight to break through the space and left Leaf Village, having fulfilled her duty to deliver the message.
