2023-02-03 16:29:07As they went further into the city, Mina was surprised to see that most of the people were already settled down.
"It's not even getting dark yet" she said In awe.
"Well she isn't called a queen for nothing" she added
"It was Yamato" a distant voice said
"It was Yamato that did it" the voice said again
They turned to see Inumaki walking towards them. He explained everything to them. The the people had settled, the order of the fortress was established, and the new appointed leader.
While everyone was in battle, Yamato brought the people into the fortress. He singlehandedly cleared and refurnished enough buildings to accommodate everyone. By the time we came back, he was already registering people in as citizens. He knew more about leadership than any of the others so they left the role to him. Also the queen retired.
"I would like to meet this queen of yours" Susan said
"I would also like to meet Yamato" she added.
So they took her to the queen's residence.
"I greet your majesty" Susan said, humbly bowing and the queen burst into laughter saying "No need for all that, I'm not even a real queen"
"Just call me Sora"
"Oh, hi Sora" Susan said smiling
"I'm Susan, Susan Schneider"
"I'm actually curious" she said
"How did you become queen in a world like this"
"You seem to be mistaking something, miss Schneider" Sora said
"I am not queen because of any grand achievement, I am not queen because of any favours. I am only queen because of what they could take from me"
"You said it yourself, how could someone become queen in a world like this. It is not possible, unless you have something as valuable as my power."
"I was blessed with the ability to create treasures. Anything I made consisted of gold and precious gems so the order took me for the riches I could bring them and placed me in this storage room of a city. They gathered treasure from all over the world but the ones I made always outclassed them. They gave me a comfortable life that I couldn't enjoy. I bore children but I had no heart to love them. They called me queen but I ruled over no one"
"I am not proud to be called queen. All I feel is shame when someone bows to me"
"I want to simply be known as Sora"
"Ubaneshi Sora"
"There's one more thing I need to ask" Susan said
"Are you ready for war With the order?"
Sora didn't waste in answering "no"
"All the capable people I known can be counted by hand" she said
"We do not stand a chance with what we have"
"But we can change that" a male voice said from outside the room
Everyone turned to see Yamato walking into the room. He looked like he had been working nonstop and was completely out of energy.
"We have Yen" he said
"We have Rosewell"
"We have Fubuki"
"We have Kojiro"
"We have Inumaki"
"We have me"
"We have Mina and her two new friends"
"We have an entire city of people"
"And most importantly...."
"We have you"
"If we can properly utilize what we have, I see victory in our favor" he said
"Besides, we are not the only ones fighting against the order" he added
"What do you mean by that?" Susan replied
"Is there anyone else fighting against the order?"
"Of course there is" Yamato answered
"I like to call him the pathfinder"
"He singlehandedly took down a large troop of the order's army, And he was also the one that summoned Yen"
"The order keeps sending troops to find him but none of them ever returns"
"Hopefully, he will one day find his was us"
Yamato completed his speech by saying "we will make use of everything we have in order to ensure victory, and we will live a life of freedom"
As Yamato was falling asleep in his mothers embrace, Susan asked him a question.
"What do you think about adding beasts to your army"

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
