Chapter Eleven: Light in the dark

The kingdoms were under construction and the citizens worked together to rebuild their empire.

Hiro also assisted in the renovation of the kingdom.

"My king, my emperor!" said one of the Zhou to Jin knights. "You shouldn't be out here my Lord. Please, sire, let's us take it from here".

Amata chuckled... "Isn't that nice of you", Amata said, as she walked towards him. "Don't you think it's about time you tell her".

Hiro blushed... "Wh... what are you talking about Amata Khan"

"I know you all too well, Hiro", Amata said. "Especially when you're in love".

He stylishly shushed Amata. "Don't say that", Hiro said. "How did you find out, did Uriel tell you that?"

Amata chuckled... "No brother, I know

when I see two love birds", Amata replied. "And she's definitely into you as well".

Just then, Queen Jade approached. "I'll leave you two out on this", Amata said quietly.

(The crowd greeted the Queen)

"There you are", Queen Jade said. 

Most citizens were secretly watching them, but Hiro, being quite shy, asked Jade if they could go somewhere else, maybe take a stroll or something?

They arrived at a beautiful garden not far outside the border. Hiro complimented Queen Jade's outfit in a romantic way as they gazed at each other romantically.

"I've been thinking about something", Hiro said as he got down on one knee, supporting the other with his leg. 

"I know it's kind of weird, we were both knights of separate kingdoms fighting for the same course, and have been through a lot, and now....." 

He opened a small box that contained a golden ring clothed with diamonds and a silver handle that sparkled like no other, it could be described as the most expensive treasure/ring that the entire world had to offer.

Jade, I've thought of many ways to overcome my fear, but in all and all;

You're my everything, 

Taking things to the next level with you has always been my heart's desire.

And together we'll build a better world that is to come,

--------------------------

Queen Jade, will you be my....

Before he could finish his sentences she'd already accepted him.

Yes! Yes! Yes I'll Hiro... I'll marry you.

Queen Jade said.

Getting up from his knees, he kissed her passionately.

A month later, the kingdom was still gradually being restored to its normal state, as well benefitting from the addition of some new features by the builders. Mages and sorceress also assisted in the renovation of both kingdoms as they merged; for the people of Nylobab kingdom and Zhou to Jin kingdom were now united as one nation, one county ruled by either a king/empress. The secret they shared was valuable, and the kingdoms could no longer be apart.

Bruce was called in to the chamber of knights by both superior leaders, captain Xiao Kain and General Vinnie, and in their presence, all the knights were gathered for the coronation. Meanwhile, the kingdom was guarded by the mages and sorceress. 

"Bruce Wee", Captain Xiao Kain said. "You're been summoned here for a special occasion".

"On your knees, young lad", General Vinnie said. "By the power of our unity this kingdom ordains you as commander over all knights". 

A few knights were also assigned to lead as assistant or second in command to other knights.

THE WEDDING

The citizens in the kingdom all gathered together to celebrate a special occasion for the king's new bride. The ceremony was set in place and the people in town were also invited. 

"You'll do just great, Hiro", Amata said. "Today is your big day, so enjoy it".

"He's really grown a lot", Bau Khan said. "Ten years ago, I found him at the arid cave, and now he's the king". 

The big celebration was awesome. The people celebrated in joy and harmony, a glorious day indeed, both nations united in harmony. 

I felt a mighty wind calling out to me.

I felt the cool breeze on my skin,

I could hear the sounding wave from the sea.

The clouds of heavens well seem to be calling out to me,

It was quiet as a noiseless space,

Out there, somewhere lies an untold mystery;

Is this a sign from the heavens,

Could this be that the heavenly realm is calling out to me:

I could feel my soul whispering to my heart,

I could feel my spirit seeking for answers,

What will become of me, what does the future hold for us.

Where does it end, when will all be over.

The world is changing, as it evolves.

The earth is calling out for untold mystery to be solved,

Never to repeat history again;

Never to bring out the darkness that has always been foretold about me.

If the world was created in perfection,

If the earth and all that dwell is perfect, then why do mankind still fall victim

Why does everything in our world taste for power,

The drive to gain dominion over all.

I am good and I want perfection,

I am bad but no one understands me,

Good and bad coexist:

Light and dark also coexist,

In their presence there are joy and hate,

In their absence there is peace and war;

If life is good then why not make it better,

The human race is always at war with itself:

Fighting for a better cause

To know who's right and who's wrong,

The good thinks they're right and the bad thinks they're good,

Understanding is the key, but patience is the absolute power over all.

True and just, the god of this world

Truly all is according to his will and glory that none can question his authority.

The time of reckoning is at hand,

The day of salvation is at hand

What will be the end game of life itself;

This world passing away for a better world that is to come:

The new Jerusalem.

The home of the righteous living in harmony,

The day of salvation:

The seventh seal, comes the seven golden trumpets,

The seven bowls of chaos, the end of the world.

Armageddon is calling out once more,

The world isn't ready for what's coming.

The new Genesis is at hand, the revelation is yet to be revealed.

(Soliloquy)....Uriel said. Taking a deep breath, as the celebration continued. 

Meanwhile, in Gypet kingdom, the people cried out for salvation as Ba Jizux, the new ruler of the kingdom, who was now in the form of the deceased king Shu'ri Rah, terrorized the people into captivity. The kingdom was now thrust into slavery, and its people hoped and prayed for a hero to come to their aid.

After the wedding and jubilation of everything, King Hiro and Queen Jade were in their chamber having alone time together in peace and harmony.

She stared into his eyes with a pleasure of sensation, looking at him happily like never before.

"I am glad you're here with me", Queen Jade said. "I never want to lose you again".

Hugging her husband (King Hiro).

Somewhere in the Zhou to Jin library, Morris called out to the Captain and general explaining to them about the new engraved prophecy that had been translated in the "word". שובו השני

"No one knows the day of his coming", General Vinnie said. "The question is, are we going to be ready when he arrives".

Morris also explained some important details about the prophecy enlightening the superiors on what was about to come, and most importantly, about the "ARMAGEDDON".

He opened the page of the book, showing them the transcription of the text. They were shocked about it, seeing the prophecy written on the book of ages, another was engraved before their very eyes saying;

There is a new world to come for the old world will pass away.

The new world will give life eternally to all living creatures of the earth,

This new world will be full of wonders beyond life itself,

As this world fades away along with it generation;

Will it give way for the new Genesis

The old Genesis will be reborn along with the old world.

The coming signs for the revelation is at hand,

Only those born of righteousness shall see salvation.

"The reign of the antichrist is at hand", Morris said. "His coming is nigh, the fate of the world is at stake".

"However things turn out to be, good will always overcome", Captain Xiao Kain responded. "For now, we shall put an end to this world threat that's about to come".

The next day, the out in the fields, Hiro seemed to be taking a stroll as he saw Bruce Wee training alone in the field. They talked for a while, and Hiro asked Bruce if they could train together.

"Sure, why not", Bruce Wee replied. "I've always wanted a sparring contest with you ever since at the knight camp".

"Alright!" Hiro replied. "Shall we begin".

Both started off slightly before things began heating up, both started sparring in hand-to-hand combat in base form, dodging every attack thrown at each other without laying a finger on each other, until Hiro got the first blow at Bruce Wee and knocked him to the ground.

"Are you alright there?" Hiro asked. "I hope I was not too hard on you".

Bruce got up, noticing a drop of blood on his lips that he cleaned with his hand.

"A single punch made me bleed", Bruce Wee said. "Let's go again".

Bruce Wee came at full speed, vanishing right behind Hiro then throwing a swift kick at him, as Hiro blocked with both hands, causing him to fall back a little.

They continued sparring all the way up to the sky, not keeping notice of their surroundings as the battle continued for a long period of time.

Meanwhile at the castle, Amata began to wonder where Hiro was. The captain was also wondering about the whereabouts of the commander. Just then, Queen Jade met them, asking about her husband Hiro the king.

"Where could they have been", captain Xiao Kain asked.

"They're probably alright", Uriel replied, as she joined in their discussion. "They are probably sparring, on their current levels of strength".

"It seems they both want to test one another's potential", Uriel said.

"Not again", Queen Jade replied. "They've always wanted to do that for ages ever since we were in the camp knights".

"Hope they haven't gotten out of...", Captain Xiao Kain said.

"Oh no, they're probably doing great", Uriel said. "No need to worry, I'll go fetch them".

They were still going toe to toe, Hiro and Bruce, as they increased their Hans and magic, about to use them against each other. Just then, Uriel stepped in to stop them.

"Enough for now", Uriel said. "Brother, my king, your Queen awaits you".

Immediately Hiro remembered what he had to do. "Oh no, I totally forgot", Hiro said. "Jade is going to be so mad at me". He took off in an instant.

Uriel then turned to Bruce Wee. "You know, there is more than what meets the eye".

"There is a prophecy that need to be fulfilled", Uriel said. "The one that will decide your current state".

Bruce Wee looked confused at what she said, so she explained further. "My brother, whom you know as your king. will bring the end of world", Uriel said. "I know it's a lot to take in and now that he's back from perdition, there's so much that will change, even for you Bruce; your fate awaits you".

The very existence of creation will become the extinction of all life.

This world as you know will cease to exist,

It's only temporary for the human race to comprehend;

And there is a war coming.

A war that will invite the heavens against the earth and all of mankind,

A war that is inevitable.
