"Let the earth bear witness"
"Let the sun bear witness"
"Let the morning bear witness"
"On this sacred day"
"We bind our lives"
"By flesh and blood"
"By mind and soul"
"By life and death"
"One shall not depart without the other"
"If one departs, the other shall follow"
"We seal this bond with the power of death himself"
"It cannot be shaken"
"It can never be broken"
As soon as Hanzo and Jade recited this spell, they were bound for life. If one of them was to die the other would follow immediately.
Even though they worked for the order where romance was highly prohibited and punishable by.... well no one knows exactly what happens to those who get caught except for the fact that they were never seen again, these two lovebirds were still brave enough to perform such an act.
"So what now?" Jade asked
"We're now bound death but we are being separated in life" she lamented
"I know you're worried but you have to calm down" Hanzo said to her
"It's only for about two weeks and you'll be back in the kingdom"
"I'm pretty sure I'll still be here by then"
"Just focus on establishing our new safe zone while I protect the king and wait for you"
"But I'm worried" Jade said
"What if they find out?"
"Don't worry too much about it" Hanzo replied
"Even they do find out, there is no one among the among the Prophets that is as powerful as me"
"And if it is the two of us against anyone, we are unbeatable"
"If things get out of hand, we can always escape. Just like our predecessor, Mina"
"But I highly doubt they would find out"
"The only thing they know about what is going on here is that I'm sending off my subordinate on a mission, nothing more"
"So don't worry, just go on your mission and I'll be waiting when you return"
Jade heeded Hanzo's words and walked out the city gates to go on her mission while Hanzo made his way back to the palace to stay at the side of the king.
"What took you so long?" A voice asked as Hanzo entered the throne room, but he ignored it and kept on walking
"I asked you a question" the voice said again and Hanzo replied.
"Just shut up" he said
"I already know it's you, Genji"
"I don't mind you and your silly games of hide and seek, just tell me the king is"
"In his chambers" the voice answered and Hanzo immediately went to see the king in his chambers.
As Hanzo approached the king's chambers, he was halted by a group of soldiers guarding the place.
"STOP RIGHT THERE!!" thier commander yelled
"Who are you?" He asked
Hanzo was infuriated by the man's words. He lifted up his face and gave the commander a cold stare.
"Is that how you speak to a cardinal?" he said, as his fury flow with his words
"I'm sorry sir" the commander apologized
"We didn't know it was you"
"We would never disrespect the north cardinal" he said as he and all his men bowed to Hanzo.
"What is the emergency?" Hanzo asked, and the commander replied "we received an official declaration of war from the Yamato kingdom"
"The council has issued a state of emergency in all the cities, and a troop is being prepared to give the first strike."
"When did all this happen?" Hanzo asked
"Just a few minutes ago" the commander answered
"Alright" Hanzo said
"Stay here and guar the outside"
"I'll be inside with the king"
"YES SIR!!"
In truth, there was no declaration of war from the Yamato kingdom. It was just that the order had finished their preparations and were ready strike so they forged a declaration of war to set their plans in motion.
It was a nice beautiful morning with a bright sun and a clear blue sky. The guards at the walls of Yamato were chilling as usual when they noticed a horde approaching from afar at an incredible speed. They immediately blew the emergency horn and every civilian ran for their safety.
The soldiers were immediately assembled in front of the walls and were ready to intercept the enemy.
"GRAND ERUPTION!!" the ground breakers screamed as they unleashed thier joint technique on the incoming enemy. And from below, flames began shooting out from the cracks in the ground. The cracks got bigger and so did the flames, and it went on consuming their enemies until it was countered by another technique.
"GREAT SAND STORM". This was the technique performed by Dune of the red sand. As soon as he unleashed his his technique, there was a more intense sandstorm than anyone had ever experience in a desert and it swept through the enemy frontline and kept going.
The storm riders were quick to react, and they responded back with their own technique.
"STORM BREAKER!!" they yelled as they intercepted the incoming sandstorm and cancelled it out. But the enemy wasn't done. As soon as the storm riders cancelled out sandstorm, the were met with Zephyr's 'breath of hell', a wind that carried both darkness and pain.
As the Yamato army choked on Zephyr's wind, Hopper released her own technique "GREAT PLAGUE" and all forms of poisonous insects swarmed into the battlefield and began causing havoc.
At this point, Shin began to notice that his side was losing and he had to do something quickly. He dashed onto the midst of the enemy aiming to take down one of the Prophets. But before he could reach any of them, he found himself surrounded by a horde that impeded his advancement. He tried to fight his way through but as soon as he touched the first one, all the others around him exploded.
The Yamato army lost morale and retreated into walls of the fortress. They had suffered heavy casualties. Half of the deployed forces were dead and the ones that were left didn't escape injury and poisoning. It was a disaster. The enemy was way stronger than the expected and they had the advantage of numbers.
The Nihon army won the battle but they weren't satisfied. They wanted to completely wipe out their enemies so they advanced until they reached the walls of Yamato. Not even the defense system of Yamato's wall could hinder their advancement and soon, they got to the wall and set off an explosion that brought it all down.
They began wrecking havoc on everything they saw as they moved forward.
Meanwhile, in the field far away from the city, Shin had regained consciousness.

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
