Chapter 5 The Breakdown

"Leodeus power?, the region you're in makes no difference if you're not parts of the kingdom you old fool".

He said as he leaned over in his seat with his fingers crossed under his chin.

"Did you really think that a Kingdom would go out of its way to protect a backwater Village, that refuses to integrate for years. No, no, no this isn't something new, just something in the makings for years it's your fault really. You didn't want anyone to take you under their wing  of protection, so now the only choice we had is to just take you by force. Oh and also you made one error in what you said about me having no power here, this is not a statement from me it's an order from the Kings".

(Kings huh…now it makes sense they haven't been forgotten, they have been cast aside. And now the two Kingdom that supposedly hate each other, with a complete opposite mindsets and beliefs . Are now working together for a common goal, judging by the Kingdom's that's working together is easy to tell what both of them are after. The Beretta Kingdom mostly wants more soldiers for their experiments and their military and I'm guessing the Holy Kingdom just once more space). While I was lost in thoughts.

"Did you honestly think I would take this lying down and just give you my Village, my people to you boy!" said Tetsos.

Tetsos immediately slamed his fist into the desk between them,

(Sfx Bam)

Smashing it to the ground Flat.

"We would rather die than to be enslaved, be it by that wretched king of yours or that ass of a pope. Please show me how you would try to take us by force, but don't…for a second think you won't suffer as much casualties as would we little BOY!" Has he stands on top of his seat.

Kari unfazed by his declaration of defiance, just look straight at replied "Oh I believe you, and that would results in the opposite of what I'm here for, so that's why I came to you personally", said Kari.

The calm old man persona left, and the old Warrior mode kicked in.

"For what!…your two Kingdom seem to have planned everything already, unless you really think you can negotiate with me. Do you really think l would give away my own peoples, land and freedom" Shouted Tetsos.

(Well…even he wouldn't be crazy enough do that right?. I understand it was the plan but why is he alone, while all his soldiers are standing by outside. What exactly is the plan?, there's something more to this).

"Well... to be honest yes!" with a smile said Kari, in the instant those words left his lips.

(Sfx Crackling)

Sound of iron grinding against each other between his fingers, "rakt loha" he whisper with intent to kill. Tetsos has the elemental blessing that allows him to harden his body to the point that it would resemble Steel.

(Sfx Clench) This was concentrated in his fist heading straight for Kari's head.

(Sfx Whoosh)

Kari instantly reacted jumping out of his seat, drawing his katana going straight for the fist with the full intention of cutting it in two.

(Sfx Snapped)

But when the blade reached it snapped the sword like a twig. Without stop the fist continued its path coming for his head, he then grin and said "Bomb ignis".

Tetsos seconds from hearing this stopped his punch stop mid air, the force blew everthing to the corners or the wall.

"What have you done" Tetsos ask with cold sweat running down his head.

"So now you settle down. Ha ha don't worry just a suggested measure to keep you from trying that plan of removing my head from my body again" said Kari.

While that was going on the force from the Chiefs last attack caused us to blow into my eyes so all I could think was ( damnit didn't hear what he said in that brief seconds, but it did manage to get the Chief's attention).

Kari looking the chief in his face started to taunt him "The hot iron blood Tetsos, ha you must have really gotten soft hearted from being a old chief for this long. The legend I've heard of before wouldn't even make a flinch even with that threat".

The concern Chief replied "you little shit how many people on both sides are you prepared to kill with that failsafe boy" Tetsos visibly shaken from the threats.

"Honestly as I said before this isn't really the main plan, it's just suggested measure nothing more. The original plan is for you to go out and tell your people that you have join with the Beretta Kingdom,  no need for the both of us to lose all we want" said Kari.

"How wicked can you, being that you want me to lead my people to their destruction boy. What kind of Chief could do that to their people" shouted Tetsos.     

"A smart one old man, at least in that scenario you'll still be a chief where you were not to choose this, you wouldn't be considered a chief without your people now with you".

"What do you say chief, it's your choice really, for you, for your whole Village fate is left up only to you". Kari then starts playing with the broken katana blade by throwing it gently into the air back into his hands and continue.

"A simple trip to The Lacs hollow Plains in Sizlion can make out of a hundred corpse at least, 10 of them should revive as an undead and at least one of them should have capable mindset two become one of my soldiers so either is good". Kari sideye Tetsos, absolutely loving his expression of pure rage "I'm just following orders it's your choice. Either I take your people alive or I'll keep a few dead, as it stands we have your whole village surrounded".

(Damn… I knew they were getting bold but I didn't expect them to be dealing with common villages this organized. Guess when they're not fighting against each other they're working together perfectly).

Kari with his signature boastful grin "So wats your answer old man".

"Like their a choice in the matter you bastard" saided Tetsos.

With veins of frustration pulsing around his body showing over his robe with his head hung low gripping his fist so tight that his hands are bleeding. Still hiding behind the door I'm starting to get a little irritated while I thought to myself. (This dumbass is just toying with him now I guess, Kari knows he's won the moment he mentioned the safety of the villagers).

(Wait!…The Lacs hollow Plains in sizlion, but that's).

"Not possible without" ruptly came out from his mouth without him noticing his thoughts were out loud.

Kari heard it, immediately turn this face and pointed to the door, "who's dare interrupt this meeting by eavesdropping come out now" he shouted.

( guess the hidings over) he thought to himself as he got up, but as I was opening the door to look on the two.

All his eyes catch was Kari pointing two fingers I still holding the broken Katana in the handle at me and within glancing that, he said softly "acri pila!".

(Sfx Cobooom)

The force blew away most of the room the heat charred what was left.     

"Tsk!, I thought the report said you live alone now with you're only son migrating to the east and your daughter to the Chapel" said Kari.

"Now look… our agreement was to leave the buildings intact if possible, well I can always blame it on you old man".

" Wha-" before Tetsos could say what he was going to say " ignis pugione"

(Sfx shau)

Kari close the distance between him and Tetsos in an instant.

(Sfx Splurge!!)

And landed his flame dagger in Tetsos third rib before he could even react. Tetsos began coughing out blood while landing to his knees.

"Yooouu cheeapp trricck coowarrdd" Tetsos staggering back as he was barely able to speak.

"What… you can only blame yourself for that, not telling me about our unwanted guest how rude".

Has he threw behind him the charup remains of the broken katana, "plus I have to make it look like you put up a struggle and as a bonus this works as a perfect deterrent to show where you and your people stand. Honestly it's all to keep your strongest warriors from resisting".

He stooped down to whisper in Chief's ear "to tell you the truth my original plan was to cut off one of your arm to prove a point" said Kari.

(Sfx Ptooep!!)

Tetsos spits blood in his face without hesitation after Kari pulled away.

"He he he yup… we knoow wheree… wee stand boy". Said Tetsos

The dragon tattoo seem to came to life with the blood rushing in his forehead through the veins the fire dagger extends out into a katana shape he lifts his hand up over Tetsos, it seemed for the brief moment all the blood rush to his head cuz all he was seeing was red. He didn't even care about the plan anymore, then.

(Sfx Rustling)

" Hold up!… for a sec would ya" both their eyes turn to follow the voice.

It was coming from the charred side of the room.

"Sorry but something about your explanation earlier has been really bugging me. And I would really like it to be cleared up in my head, so could you stop doing whatever you were about to do before".

Both of them with a shocked expression on their faces, as they stared at me coming out of the rubble of what was left of the room covered in suds. I was wondering what was the big deal but as I was unharmed I started dusting off my clothes.

" You said something abo-", Tetsos surprised at what he was seeing blurted out as I was still talking" how the hell are you stil-" Kari hand which stop mid way to look at me then. Started to keep going as if it was just reflex.

" Shut up!" Shouted Kari

Swinging with full force then.

(Sfx Clang )

Kari making that same shock look again as I grabbed the flame blade just inches before it could've reach Tetsos head right between his elbow and his knee.

"YO! I said chill for a sec didnt I",as I glared at him.
