After running for about an hour the group had finally stopped.
"I think that should be far enough." Said the Commander.
"Yeah." Replied Solaina while still catching her breath.
"let's stay cautious though. We don't know when danger will strike again." Said Phinx while being cautious of their surroundings.
After catching their breaths, Phinx and Solaina asked the imposing question.
"How did you do that?" Asked Solaina
"Do what?" Replied Commander Salem
"You know." Said Solaina
"How did you make your sword glow? How did you send those minions flying?" Said Phinx
"That was the potential of salvation." Replied the Commander
"What?" Said both Phinx and Solaina who were utterly confused.
You see before you were born, before the empire had been captured we were known for our unique power. We were mighty in battle and always victorious. But, our victory did not last as long as we would have hoped. Fear and it's allies had decided to enter our lives. They began their invasion, through manipulating our people into turning away from whom they served and what they stood for as a nation. Slowly we forgot of our potent potential and soon gave way into captivity. We unconsciously destroyed our only chance of freedom. From this our enemies grew stronger as we became weaker."
"How can we unlock our hidden potential?" Asked Phinx
"Through Faith. Faith is the action of belief. Only then can you receive salvation." Answered the Commander.
"I don't understand" said Phinx
"In due time you will, my friend." Assured the Commander
"In any case, we need to move now." Said Solaina
"Yeah, we don't want to arrive to Natori at night. Anything could happen." Replied Phinx
"Okay lets go! We are off to Natori!" Said the Commander full of spirit
The trio then made their way to Natori…
While that occurred the minions arrived at the first stronghold - Panic's Domain.
"Master, we have urgent news to discuss."
"Go on." Replied Panic while sitting and leaning on his arm.
"We were attacked by three on the road this morning."
"And… the resolution?" Asked Panic who waited for their next answer
"We were unfortunately outmatched master."
"Pathetic! You insignificant swines! Do you not understand what you have done to me! You've tarnished my name! You've made me look weak amongst the rest of the ELITE!" Said panic who was furious
"But…sir… we were outmatched only because one of them had an immense power that sent me and my men flying!"
"Enough! Where have they headed?!" Asked Panic who was angered by their incompetence
"To Natori!"
"Gaurds sieze these vermin! Have them hanged!" Exclaimed Panic
" No! I beg you master! We won't let it happen again!"
"Yes you won't, because you all won't be around to MESS UP!" Said Panic
The guards then seized the minions, while they tried their best to resist. They fought and cried as they were being taken away.
"Now… on to more pressing matters. I wonder… who could be so brave to attack the Legion of Fear." Said Panic with a big grin.
