"Noli leonem dormientem excitare"

("Do not wake a sleeping lion")

—Motto of the Empire of Neragon

---

15:31 WT, 18th of February, 1639 (18th of Memesa, 1995)

Embassy of the Kingdom of Paqueonia (Reino de Paqueañes), Loweheim District, Greater Wilding, Aialand, Neragon

---

The next week passed in a quick blur for Anna James, between her duties at VROEMG, the looming threat of I-01, and keeping tabs on the activities of the Neragese government ever since the displacement, time seemed to slip through her fingers like grains of sand.

And now, Anna found herself making her way through the once graceful courtyard of the Paqueon embassy. Makeshift tents and shelters were sprawled across the once elegant gardens and pathways. Reminding the green-eyed Avisian of the shanty towns she had once lived in during her youth.

She grimaced at the unpleasant memory, clamping her teeth together as she stepped over a discarded blue blanket, pushing her way through the maze of tents and people, like molasses through a narrow passage.

Eventually (read: a whole 10 minutes), she managed to reach the entrance of the embassy building where a line had formed, some had anxious and worried faces while others were bored, all waiting for their turn to enter. Anna mentally sighed; this was going to be a very long wait.

She normally wouldn’t even be here, if it had been a mission, she would’ve sent one of her subordinates instead. It was not that she hated this place, far from it. But if the recent rumours were true, the Paqueon Embassy had been accepted as under the control of the Council of Deities.

Like her Director, Evans Nott, she distrusted them. "They are a relic from a time long gone, and they knew it," He had said to her offhandedly when he heard the news of the forming of the Council. "But it seems they now want their former glory back."

"What do you mean by that?" She had asked.

"A shift in power is coming, many still hold the gods in high regards, and many more yearn for the return to the… Old Ways." Nott had said with a hint of derision – Anna could practically feel the contempt by how he had pronounced the phrase “Old Ways” – "They might present it as an advisory role, but trust me, they are aiming for something more."

But this wasn’t a mission – or at least, a VROEMG mission. She had been sent an e-mail 9 days ago saying a minor had been stranded from his family due to the displacement and she was their closest relative.

She couldn't simply abandon someone even if she hadn't even known she had any relatives alive until now, and she was rather curious as well.

It was eventually arranged for her to meet him this day due to the hectic events related to VROEMG and the Great Displacement she had to deal with.

The boy was her third cousin once removed, the embassy staff behind the e-mail had written. And his name was Saul Rodríguez. Anna was surprised to say the least that she had relations so far south as to be from Paqueonia, although to be fair, she had never bothered to check her genealogy before…

She waited for about 7 minutes in queue before a dark-skinned man in the white-suited uniform of the embassy approached her. He seemed to think for a moment before opening his mouth "Ar-are you..." he paused, struggling to find the appropriate word. "you señorita James?"

Anna did not know what "señorita" meant but she knew what he was asking. "Yes, I am."

The man exhaled lightly. He nodded quickly, before replying in his light Paqueon accent. "Please, follow me. I will... bring you to your... pupilo."

Anna was led through the embassy entrance, stares coming from the people in line. The embassy interior itself was just as packed as the courtyard.

She followed the black man as they pushed through the crowd, men in suits with briefcases, families huddled together in corners— Anna nearly tripped on a luggage bag which was lying in her path.

They eventually made their way into a corridor where the mass of people thinned.

"Aq— Here." The embassy staff said once they had reached a particular door. "The boy and his... acompañante should be waiting inside."

"Thank you," Anna said politely, and she pushed forward the door without a thought.

The room was a small lounge and a silver-haired man in his 60s immediately stood up from a plush brown sofa to greet her, a small smile on his face.

"Head James, I presume." He spoke, sticking his hand out.

Anna knew exactly who he was just by voice alone. She shook his hand. "Yes, you are Professor Gallagher." It was not a question.

The professor's eyebrows shot up, "Do you know me? Never mind, that's off-topic. Please, have a seat, Young Saul here has been anxious for your arrival".

Anna acknowledged with a nod. Saul had stood up from the sofa, fiddling with the hem of his worn, blue shirt. He looked no older than a late teen with brown hair which seemed to have been combed recently, most definitely for this occasion. He looked apprehensively at her.

"Hello ma'am," he said rather woodenly.

Anna smiled. "Well met, Saul. I'm Anna. How are you holding up?"

Saul's eyes darted between Anna and Professor Gallagher. "I'm okay... I guess, I still can't believe all of this is happening."

Anna leaned against an armrest of the sofa, prompting Saul to sit back down as well a few metres away.

She nodded sympathetically, "It must be hard to process, being separated from your family like this."

Saul was uncomfortable, that much was obvious as he looked away, but he still nodded in response.

There was an awkward pause before Professor Gallagher cleared his throat. "Right, well we have the necessary documents for you here, everything's been processed with the Department of Visas and Immigration so you can legally take guardianship of Mr. Rodríguez and he can become a Neragese citizen." he explained, reaching for a file on the nearby table. "Expect an e-mail from the Ministry of Interior sometime in the near future once you’ve signed it… about identification matters."

Now it was Anna's turn to be surprised. "Well, that's quite fast, I expected such a process to take a few months at least." She spoke.

The professor’s eyes seem to twitch. "It just needed a small push in the right direction." He handed over the file to Anna, who accepted it with a curt nod.

"Thank you, Professor." Anna glanced through the contents briefly, and then, she thought of something. "Do you know what kind I am, Saul?"

At that, Saul huffed, his previous nervousness gone. "I'm not racist!" He exclaimed.

Anna laughed, "I needed to check."

Then, she turned to the professor. "Saul is enrolled at the Magical Institute in Auchblair, correct?"

"Yes, that's correct," Professor Gallagher confirmed.

"And he will be staying there until the end of the school year?"

"Of course." The professor replied.

Anna had to make a decision, she did not have a house as she lived and worked at Site Alpha full time. So she had to either have him live with her at the Site during the summer breaks, which might not even be approved of and potentially lead him to danger even if it was, or arrange for Saul to stay with someone else, probably one of his friends.

She voiced her thoughts.

"Umm... I could stay with Ja— my best friend?" Saul said.

Anna nodded slowly, "That would do if they agree to it."

"I can call him now,” Saul offered.

"Do so."

She watched as Saul pulled out his phone, fingers tapping hurriedly across the screen, putting it to his ears after a brief moment. The conversation on the phone seemed brief as Saul nodded and whispered a quick "Thank you" before hanging up.

"He said it's fine," Saul said.

Good. It's settled then," Anna replied, "you will stay at the Institute for the school years and stay with your friend every time else." She paused. "I will have to visit you occasionally to fulfil my obligations as your guardian, ensure your well-being and all that."

"Um, thanks, Ms. James."

"Not a problem, and please, call me Anna."

Professor Gallagher interjected. "You'll need to sign the document to formalise this arrangement."

Anna glanced at the professor. "Of course, do you have a pen?"

"Yes, yes." He said quickly and dove into his pockets, retrieving a sleek black pen. He handed it over to Anna who was now skimming over the document carefully.

After a while, she uncapped the pen and signed the document in her usual slanted manner.

"There we go," she said, handing the pen back to the professor. "I'll be filing it in the near future."

"Splendid," the professor said with a satisfied nod.

Saul sprang up from the sofa as if ready to leave the room and probably the embassy as well.

At that, Gallagher seemed to realise something. "Ah, would it be alright for you to bring him back to the Magical Institute?"

Anna gave the man an appraising look. "I suppose it wouldn't be an issue."

"That would be greatly appreciated, Ms. James."

Anna nodded with a small smile. "No problem." She turned to Saul. "Are you ready to leave?"

Saul nodded. "Yes, ma'am– Anna." He corrected himself.

"Alright then, I would hate to keep your education waiting." Anna gestured for Saul to follow her.

11:18 WT, 16th of February, 1639 (16th of Memesa, 1995)

Infirmary 02, East Wing, Site Alpha, [Unknown County], Tirnikt, Neragon

---

Evans Nott entered the infirmary, greeting a nurse caring for a man with a bandaged arm with a silent nod of his head.

It was decent in size – about the same area as a proscenium stage, but the emptiness of the room made it feel larger than it actually was.

He quickly made a beeline to the bed that contained one Marcus Fairweather.

As he did, the doctor who was sat up on his mattress, looked up from some papers he was reading. "Herr Nott." He said in a hoarse voice, after which the man promptly cleared his throat.

"Doctor Fairweather," Evans said, a smile on his face. "How are you feeling."

"Like a failure." The man said flatly.

Evans frowned. "Don't be so hard on yourself doctor, the only way you could've seen it coming was if you were a seer which you cer—"

"WE COULD’VE ALL DIED!" The man roared. He threw down his paper onto his covered legs with such force he winced.

Evans raised an eyebrow.

Fairweather sighed. "My apologies Director… I found out what went wrong with our portal."

"Yes?"

The doctor flipped to another page of the paper he was reading and gestured towards a small table on the sheet. "It was a…" – he trailed off, struggling to find the appropriate word – "miscalculation… a flaw in the design. The energy fluctuations during the attempt to open the portal exceeded the runes' capacity, leading to a cascade failure."

"And that is related to the displacement?" Evans asked, taking the paper from Fairweather for a closer look.

Fairweather nodded, shaking slightly. "Definitely, the excess energy not only scrambled the magical ambience of the North Wing but also caused the… manifestation of a large… lets say… bubble around the Neragese isles which pulled us into the world we are in now."

He contemplated something for a moment, before adding. "I must say, we are quite… lucky, for us not to have appeared on any… landmass, or the middle of outer space of that matter."

Evans grimaced but quickly schooled his expression. "What about our territories overseas, or even our Moon Bases for that matter. How was it possible for them to have been displaced as well?"

Fairweather sighed, "We don't understand that aspect yet. And I don't want to give any theoretical explanations until we conduct further investigations. This is worthy of the title of an anomaly in every sense of the word." He chuckled humourlessly.

"Indeed," Evans replied. He looked across the infirmary briefly, letting a solemn silence settle before speaking up again, "I do have another reason for coming here.  I want to get your opinion on something we have recently discovered."

Fairweather hummed, signalling Evans to continue.

The director waved his hand around for a few moments, casting a spell that would minimise the chance of eavesdropping. Satisfied with his work, Evans spoke.

"Two weeks ago, we were notified by a displacee of a version of a world called ‘Earth’. He pointed out a region of the new world looked quite similar to his home country called Japan..."

Fairweather gave a start at the name.

"You've heard of this place," It sounded more like a statement than a question.

Fairweather nodded faintly, almost in shock. "Do you remember the works of John Manfield? They were all the rage back in the '50s to '70s."

Evans looked almost offended. "Of course, you have to be both blind and deaf to have not at least heard about him."

Fairweather offered a small, apologetic smile. "The reason I mentioned Manfield is that – although many people don't really know this – his works are primarily set in a world called 'Earth'…" – Both of Evans’s eyebrows shot up at that – "…and a country called Japan was mentioned countless times across multiple issues and there was even 1 short story dedicated to it."

Evans frowned. "How odd, I would have known if a displacee decided to chronicle their world through the lens of fiction – do you think he might be one that we simply haven't accounted for?"

Fairweather leaned back on his pillow. "It is a possibility." He allowed.

Evans paced a few steps. If the man really was displaced, there would be no point in asking him as he had died back in 1981. But... "I could send an agent to interview his son."

Fairweather nodded in agreement. "That sounds like a good plan."

Evans filed the information away for later and made a mental note to do as he just said.

"Now, back on topic, our spies in the Central Security as well as several other displacees that we employ have confirmed that this region in question is indeed a country that called itself 'Japan'. Intelligence we stole from the Agency states the country was displaced last month and is at least around the same technological level as us."

"Well, that certainly matches," Fairweather mutters. He looked thoughtful for a moment before continuing. "I might be biassed, but I believe we should contact Japan as soon as possible... I am curious to see if they resemble anything like those works by Manfield.”

Evans nodded contemplatively, “I will take your suggestion into account.”

14:51 CMT, 25th of February, 1639 (25th of Memesa, 1995)

City Hall, Salerosi District, Cartalpus, Barruan Province, Holy Milishial Empire

---

In one particular area in the city hall of Cartalpus, several figures congregated as Prime Minister Sonnenfeld strode stiffly to the middle of a stage behind a marble table at the front of the room and shook hands with the king of the Holy Milishial Empire.

With that, the entire chamber of dignitaries of both parties rose up in thunderous applause as the two powerful leaders acknowledged each other formally for the first time.

For Sonnenfeld this was the big break Neragon needed an opportunity that could help save the country from the projected economic downturn.

And save your entire political career as well, a voice inside him said snidely. He can't help but dream of the popularity he would gain by successfully steering his country out of another crisis. He would have basically guaranteed himself a spot on the ballot of the next election, and hopefully the position of Prime Minister as well.

The current meeting had been planned carefully by the two countries at least a week in advance and ever since the Neragese party had landed in Cartalpus 2 days ago, it had gone quite smoothly…

The terms of trade between Neragon and the Milishial Empire had been drawn over the last few weeks by the Milishial Ministry of Foreign Affairs and their ambassador in Runepolis, Tobias Myong (on advice from the Neragese government of course):

The Holy Milishial Empire agreed to export coal and agricultural goods to Neragon. In exchange, Neragon would initiate a technological transfer programme with the Milishials, more specifically, in the fields of aviation, infrastructure, and runic magic.

Almost in tandem, both heads of state approached the central marble table where two sets of paper lay, showing the details of their newfound agreement. Sonnenfeld sat down as did the emperor a few moments later, each signing their separate documents with a pen and quill respectively, leaving indelible marks that opened a new chapter in the history of both empires.
