2023-02-03 19:23:07Three years passed with peace and there was no attacks from the order. It seemed that the defeat of Albus had caused them to take their enemies more seriously and make bigger, longer preparations.
Mina and the others didn't know what the order was planning but they definitely weren't doing nothing. They had managed to raise an army of thousands; all valiant and powerful, each unit with their own speciaty.
There was the 'Storm riders' who rode large mounts into battle. Most of them wielded wind and lightning techniques, and the elites among them rode their elements. This unit was trained by Minna who knew more about Yen's power he did. Yen on the other hand joined in training under her.
Another unit was the 'ground breakers' who specialized in 'ground breaking' earth and fired techniques. Led by Inumaki these warriors have been trained to bend the ground below them to their will, and the fire users among them helped in their eruption techniques.
Inumaki doubled as the leader of the flame unit but he didn't give them any 'cool' names.
The 'shuan gou' unit was led by Lee. Almost none of them wielded the shuan gou but they were all talented swordsmen.
Susan led the rescue and medical units alongside Rosewell. The units comprised of those who wielded recovery magic and those who were swift and silent.
And finally there was the king's army. They were the best of the best. Every single one of them was strong enough to push Yamato to his limits and some even managed to win against him a few times. This unit was led by Yamato himself and Fubuki and Kojiro were also part of it.
All the army's weapons were forged by Susan and Lee with Sora's treasures as the materials. No one knew how Susan's machine worked but it wasn't like they cared after receiving their shinny swords.
Some significant changes happened during this three years of peace. Yen and Mina got officially married. Lee and Susan did the same. Others also wedded but Rosewell was the only one with children; twins to be precise.
Every citizen was registered, accommodation was good, and the city's economy was quickly growing. They increased in wealth and in power and everything went smoothly, but it was all about to change.
One morning which was supposed to be a pleasant one turned sad for Rosewell. He woke up like he did every other morning; early while others were still asleep, kissed his beautiful wife on her forehead and went to check on his twins.
As he got to their room where they were supposed to be sleeping, they weren't there. He immediately panicked and started checking everywhere he could for his baby boys, then he noticed that a window was open.
Without any second thought, he immediately leaped through the window and started running on the roof tops of the lower buildings. He didn't know where to go but luckily for him, there was someone running far off in the distance and he was Sharp enough to see before the person turn a corner and run out of sight.
Rosewell used his instincts and full knowledge of the city's layout to determine where the suspect would go and followed a shortcut to immediately catch up.
He made sure that there was no room for escape as he approached. He had surrounded his target with his petals and left very little space for movement.
Rosewell's suspicion was right but there was just one not so little problem: the suspect was with only one of the boys.
Rosewell kept his target contained and jumped high above every building in the city. He had the sharpest eyes but it seemed that whoever was with his other boy was long gone.
He came back down took his child from the hands of the one he had captured and said "Remove your mask"
Slowly, with trembling hands the suspect removed the mask, revealing the face of a young girl. She was scared; probably because of all the sharp petals that surrounded her but what Rosewell saw behind all that was her inexperience.
The manner in which he caught her with ease and the way she was trembling in fear before him showed that she wasn't trained properly. Rosewell was worried about his son but he couldn't help but wonder why they would send such an inexperienced agent to carry out a mission in the middle of enemy territory.
The sun was coming up and people were beginning to wake. And Rosewell took his prisoner home for further questioning.
He did not waste time in strapping her to a chair and asking questions.
"WHERE IS MY SON?!!" He yelled
"WHERE IS HE?!!"
but he couldn't get any answer from his prisoner she just repeating the words "I don't know" as she flinched in fear.
"Oh no I'm doing this wrong" Rosewell muttered to himself as he tried to calm down. He paced around the room taking deep breaths with his hand placed on his chest, and when he finally calmed down, he came back and asked. "What is your name?"
"I'm unit B80" she answered
"I don't care about your serial number" Rosewell replied.
"I'm asking for your real name. What is it?"
"B80 is the only thing I've ever been called" she replied
"Are you a robot?" Rosewell asked
"No" she replied
"Then why do you have such a name?" He asked, and she bent her head down and replied with a sad voice, "only the elite get real names. The rest of us are expendable"
Rosewell smiled. He didn't get any useful information but he had found a way to milk all the information he could out of his prisoner.
"Betty" he said
"From now on I'm going to call you Betty"
Rosewell knew it was working as soon as he saw how much her eyes widened. Then he slowly squatted in front her and looked her in the eyes and said. "Now Betty, tell me the details of your mission" as he smiled from ear to ear.

Burn out
As soon as Ellie noticed there was something wrong with Orie, she signaled her crew to turn off their cameras. He had been mumbling for a while but soon the mumbling intensified. His eyes were heavy, his voice was inaudible, he could feel his consciousness fading but he kept on praying.He had thought that he had enough strength to keep up the prayer but his condition was worse than he had thought it was."I'm sorry" he said as he fell to his knees and went silent.As the paramedics were rushing to take Orie away the thing that he was trying to keep under control broke free and took over Natsumi.Kaen tried to call back his flames but they were sniffed out as soon as they came in. The mist was thick, it was cold and he could barely see what was in front of him. Icicles were coming at him from different angles and he could hardly evade any of them.He saw himself at a dead end. He could not see anything he could do that would cause him to win the match. He was tired, bleeding, aching a
Keeping cool
"Who should I fear more?" Kaen wondered"Is it the monster that makes me shudder""Or is it the vessel that contains it?"As Kaen prepared to engage his opponent, all that he could think of was the fear that he felt. He could not forget it.Not many remember it but there was once a great incident that took place in Fubuki island. It was an incident that almost claimed the lives of all who lived on the island.A great frost, so cold that no flame could resist, quickly spreading and freezing everything in its path. In the dark winter night when many slept, this frost came along to take their breath.Somehow, everyone woke up in their beds the next morning with no recollection of the past twelve hours. This event sparked many rumors and among them was the rumour that the residents died and were brought back, proponents of this rumor backed their claims by speculating a tragic event within the twelve hours period.That night came to be known as the night where men slept. The "silent night
I am here
"THE SIGNS DO NOT LIETHE TRUTH WILL NOT DIEAS TIME WILL GO BYWE WILL SAY OUR GOODBYESFOR THE TRUE PRIEST TO BE BORNTHE FALSE GODS WILL ALL DIE"Orie heard these words just before he woke up. He looked around in confusion, trying to figure out where he was. The last thing he could remember was that he was surrounded by dust in the arena.He looked at the nurse who seemed surprised for a reason and asked "how long have I been here?""F... Four days" the nurse answered nervously and Orie remain silent"We thought you were dead" she added"Who won?" Orie asked"What?" The nurse replied, still shaken up"My fight" Orie rephrased"Who won?""Well..." The nurse replied"The other guy was disqualified so...""... I guess you won""Oh" Orie said as he tried to get off from the bed but the but the nurse immediately moved to stop him."You just woke up sir" she said"We can't let you walk around till we know for sure that you're okay""I'm okay" Orie replied as he got down from the bed but
Still standing
Of the expectations that the people had, no one expected that a majority of the spectators would be okay with the outcome of the fight. They were sure that what they saw was real, they were sure that what they saw was fair, they were sure that the contestants gave it their all and they were sure that the winner deserved his victory.Even those who didn't support him in the beginning were cheering for him with all their heart, even those who lost their bets because of him rejoiced at the sight.There were many good fighters in the tournament, many who at the wave of their hands would cause marvelous sights but of all the fights in the tournament, Orie had shown them most invigorating.The cheers went on for a while until people in the crowd began to notice that the referee was yet to formally declare a winner. Soon they noticed that orie had not made a single movement since the clearing of the dust, he was still standing but he could not move.Though one person was on the floor while t
The bird and the beast
From within the circle came forth a huge bird of prey; a hawk. It appeard to be fully covered in silver. Just by looking at it, one could tell that its beak was harder than a rock and that its claws were as sharp as blades, even its wings didn't seem flying was all they could do. At this point in the battle where pride was being cast aside, the same thought ran through the minds of everyone watching. "NOW THE REAL FIGHT BEGINS" "Go" at this command from Chris, the bird threw itself at Orie with incredible speed. Orie evaded the bird without problem but what came next was quite challenging. After evading an attack from above he found himself facing one from below. Not many can escape such attacks from Chris. He would use the bird to make his opponents dodge in a certain manner, then he would go in for the real attack when their balance had been compromised. It was quite an effective move, but just not for Orie. "How is this possible?" Chris thought to himself as h
The market day
"This is my day" "This is my day" "This is my day" It kept repeating but Natsumi could not understand what it meant" "This is my day" She knew she had forgotten something "This is my day" She was sure she had forgotten something "This is my day" Something that would help her discern the situation. "This is my day" It stopped as soon as she realized what it meant. She remembered that when she thought it was Orie's birthday, he had told her these words. She remembered how he told her of the four market days of his tribe and that he shared his name with one of them. She remembered that he told her how the days affected his power, and this made her the least surprised person among the audience when Orie got back up on his feet. "WHAT... THE... F***!!!!?" Ellie screamed at the camera "How much blood does this guy have?" "He's lost so much yet he is still standing" "What kind of immortal dragon sh** is this" "This is not easy to believ
