"Wars, what are they for? Are they for peace? Are they for power? No matter what the attention of war is, War will always scar every side. In the end, we all end up losing. That's why I don't believe in victory when it comes to war. Our battle might have ended in my loss, but the war will go on. This world shall never know peace. Such a thing doesn't exist. Man loves holding a blade than their land and people, Hear me ...Those who believe in peace shall never hold a blade to slay but to divide and share."
THIEF AND A BALLERINA PRINCESS
Somewhere in Aerthys, inside a strange layer passage, a woman is walking, facing a room up ahead. She stands there and knocks, then she opens the door ... In front of her was a chained boy, and she spoke ." Good morning, Blackwood." Then the boy raised his head and found Aria standing there with a big smile on her face.
Meanwhile, in Ignisia, people are doing their daily activities, but this day is very special and the newspapers are selling very rapidly because it is the king's summit will take place. And the only time that is left till then is just 30 minutes.
In the castle of Ignisia, in the round table, the king and queens have gathered for the meeting, and at the table, there is
King Arin, ruler of Ignisia, the host of this historical event
King Thorold, ruler of Terraverde
Queen Calantha, ruler of Aqueria
King Ryker, ruler of Electria
All kings of Aerthys are gathered there, but in this table, there is an additional number of people.
Blackwood Thane of Blackwood village
Zephyr from ....
It's 8:50 am and the meeting is about to start.
Underneath the castle...
Oarkborn: Hahuuhhaa, tell me more ( he takes a huge drink of alcohol)
Mole: He fell into the river (he laughs).
Oarkborn: Hahuuhaa, boy, you have made my day ...I can tell you really are the son of Thorn
Mole: How do you know my dad? You keep mentioning him
Oarkborn: We were the best of friends, we would train together, eat together, and fight together. We were inseparable.
Mole: The two of you must have had fun( he laughs)
Oarkborn: We were four in total, our bond was thicker than blood.
Mole: MR Oarkguy? Why were you crying?
Oarkborn: My name is Oarkborn. You know, you're not so different from Thorn. I don't know what sister was thinking marrying him.
Mole: Mom is your sister?
Oarkborn: Yeah, she is my big sister, Rose Verdani
Mole: Mmmm, I don't see the resemblance.
Oarkborn: It's because I'm a Giant, ain't it?
Mole: Yes. My mom is not a giant.
Oarkborn: I know that. ( He stands up and grabs some bread) Here are some.
Mole: Thanks ( he eats a piece of the bread)
Oarkborn: (sigh) Earlier, you asked why I was crying.
Mole: Yeah, I did
Oarkborn: I lost an old friend of mine, that was the reason.
Mole: A friend? I'm sorry for your loss.
Oarkborn: Thank you, Mole...( He looks above ) aaah it has begun
Back in the round table, the king's summit begins...
All the kings sitting stood up in respect to one another and made a salute.
All of them sit except for King Arin. " As you all know, I have summoned you on the matter of the Echoflayers and Luminary problem. " They all look at him to hear what more he has. " The echoflayers have been attacking villages far from the capital, the Luminary has been kidnapping children to experiment on them, and all of this happens in our land." Before he could continue, he got interfered with...
King Ryker: My kingdom has not suffered such trivial things. Such things happen because your land is ruled by a weak king
Queen Calantha: King Ryker, mind your tongue...
King Ryker: You should mind your tongue, woman. Your kingdom has left this land in waste.
Queen Calantha was surprised and did not know what his talking about. " I have no clue what you speak of."
King Ryker: The water supply that comes from your country, the river no longer flows in this land. Your actions are bringing danger to this land.
Queen Calantha: I know nothing of this.
King Ryker stands up, " This meeting is not going anywhere. If you want the Luminary and echoflayers taken care of, send me a letter."
Zephyr stands up, " With due respect, my kings, I have some news that may be of use."
King Ryker and the rest of the round table members land an ear.
Zephyr: There are some similarities in these attacks. The villages are attacked by echoflayers and Luminary kidnappers.
King Ryker: How are they similar like that?
Zephyr: The echoflayers are the work of Theodorus himself, and they attack in search of his descendants. The Luminary kidnaps children to find the proper sacrifice to free Theodorus.
King Ryker: So you mean all of this trouble is for a thousand-year legend?
King Arin: This Morning, I received word that the tomb of the last King of Aerthys was discovered by the Luminary.
They all remain silent in shock ....
King Thorold: Surely they know that's a declaration of war.
In the castle wall, Prince Zane stands on guard. "Huh," he looks at the sky as if he feels the atmosphere change.
" Lloyd, wake up, let's continue our journey," says Shawn as they continue to walk to find the problem with the river, and suddenly an inside voice comes into the mind of both Shawn and Lloyd ("Lloyd, Shawn, hear me clearly, this is Zephyr... Get out of this Nation now, and do not worry about Mole. You two are the most important now, run."Lloyd and Shawn held their head in pain as they all questioned themselves why they should escape this country.
At that moment, Prince Zane runs to the entrance of the castle with great speed as he rushes. The clouds begin to form in the sky. " What is this that I'm sensing? It's strong!!" He dashes to the round table. A yellow light shines bright in the sky just in the centre of the castle.
Underneath the castle...
Oarkborn: Haahuha, Huh !!( He looks up)
Mole: Is it me, or do I feel some strange heat?
Oarkborn: It's not you, we are under attack
The round table...
King Arin " Gambit!! shield us !!"
Prince Zane continues his run as his about to open the castle doors. A Ray of light strikes the castle and creates a steam that surrounds the area. A huge explosion blows the castle of Ignisia, turning every structure to rubble. The entire kingdom goes into panic, and everything turns into chaos in that explosion. Prince Zane loses one of his arms,
And underneath the castle, Orkborn is kneeling on one knee, and he's raising his arm. When Mole looks around, he sees plants all around the place: flowers, vines, and little trees ." Huh, what's happening?"
In the round table, the kings lie there lifeless, as it seems like the place has taken less damage, but everyone is unconscious." I ..I can feel him, dear Marie, I can feel his presence." A man walking slowly with a stick to balance himself, wearing a black coat that covers his entire body and on the back of that gown a white crest of a dagger was on it, and he was walking with a woman wearing the same clothing " We have found him, but we still have no way of freeing him now ." Says Marie, They continue to walk around the round table slowly... " Ooo my ...they all survived...should we take care of them?" Says the male character
Marie: Yes, they might cause trouble for us in the near future.
They both take their walk and slowly walk toward the kings who are unconscious." Marie, I've been looking through these bodies, and I cannot find him."
Marie: How could we let Zephyr escape!!
Marie approaches King Arin and holds her stick high and attempting to strike King Arin with a beam of flames strickes but she smashes into the wall, and it was Prince Zane. " Flames that flow through me, hear the crown prince of Ignisia, Flame technique Evolution." A great amount of flames rushes in and out of his body, and all things near him start to melt. " You have tremendous talent, boy," the male character says. Marie wakes up and holds her staff," How dare you strike me!!!" She charges at him, both exchange blows and shake the whole kingdom. Zane's technique increases the heat all over the capital as he fights one-handed, defending his people, but he is outnumbered. They both struck him down and knocked him unconscious. "The prince is strong, we have found what we came here for ..." Just then, King Arin wakes up. "Aaaah, King Arin, you have awakened." A yellow beam comes from the sky and lands over both characters. " Next time we meet, it will be on the battlefield," the light disappears with them.
Living King Arin is shocked to see the castle in ruins, and everything around him is destroyed. " What has my kingdom done to suffer such a fate ?"
King Arin couldn't even master the strength to get up.
The king's summit took place to bring about the alliance of the kingdoms in Aerthys, but there was a big interference that brought about the distraction of Ignisia.
To be continued...
