2023-02-03 19:44:15"Woe to those that make enemy of the priests of the mighty ones, for their fate is worse than death"
"The damned shall mock them, and the hopeless shall look down on them with pity"
"The sick will look healthy in comparison to them, and the shall look alive in their presence"
"For they have made and enemy of the priest and in doing so, they have made an enemy of his god"
These were the words spoken by Orie while he was held in chains in a small isolated room. There was barely enough light for someone to see around but there wasn't that much to see either. It was and quiet clean for a dark isolated room. There was no dirt, no bad odor, no rats. It was only him, some very strong chains and a guard who told him to shut up after he had just finished making a divine declaration.
"One of the perks of being a priest..." Orie said as he stood up
"...is that sometimes, we are required to make declarations before we take action"
"This is so that whoever is making a move against us is given the chance to back out"
"But if they do not take heed, we shall fulfill the declaration without fail"
"You've heard al the words in the declaration I just made" he said as he put his hands together and caused all the chains to shatter
"Do you still want to go against me?"
There was only fear in the eyes of the guard. The man standing before him had just broken through the highest grade chains as if they were nothing. The chains were modified to drain energy from whoever they held but the man that the guard saw looked more like he had rested well and was at full power. He remained stunned and speechless as he watched Orie hold the iron door and pull it out by the hinges.
"You still haven't answered my question" Orie said in a calm voice that sent violent chills down the guard's spine
"Do you still want to go against me?" He asked
Through the fright and quivering, the guard managed to give his answer
"N...n...no" he said
"No"
"No"
"Nooo"
Then Orie looked at him with a smile and said "good"
"Now, I'll be on my way"
Then he made his way through the passages of the empty building talking to himself
"Hmm"
"So it seems like everyone is held in a different building"
"This air..." He said as he took a deep breath
"...kinda smells like Freeland"
Meanwhile, Yamato had just woken up in the small room he was held up in. It was basically the same as that of Orie; dark, clean, with high grade power draining chains and a single guard that watched over him.
"So, you are finally awake" the guard said, but Yamato didn't answer him.
"Hey!!" The guard yelled in annoyance
"Reply me when I'm talking" he said in anger
"Five more minutes" Yamato said as he tried to roll himself into a comfortable sleeping position.
"It's not like you are doing anything important with right now"
"And besides"
"I don't even have any energy"
The guard was annoyed by the arrogance of his prisoner. He felt like a young boy was ruining his pride and he had to do something about it.
"You insolent brat!" He said in anger as he opened the iron door and walked inside the room holding firmly to his baton. But before he could take a few steps in, he heard a voice from behind saying "thanks for opening the door for me"
"It's not easy to push it down"
Before the guard could turn, he was knocked out and on the floor.
Yamato turned around to see Orie but he didn't seem relieved.
"You should have come a bit later" he said
"I was trying to get some good morning sleep"
"You can sleep later" Orie replied as he took the keys from the unconscious guard and began unlocking Yamato's chains
"Right now" he said
"There is something we must do"
"Oh yeah" Yamato said in realization
"We have to rescue the others"
"Not that" Orie replied
"The others can rescue themselves"
"Then what is this new mission" Yamato asked.
Then Orie smiled and replied "Do you remember the bounty that was placed on Shiro's head"
"Yes" Yamato answered
"Two hundred million Arabian gold bars"
Then Orie let out a suspicious laugh that scared Yamato a little.
"What if I told you..." He said
"... that I know where it is being kept"
Yamato didn't know when he joined Orie in the suspicious laugh.
Meanwhile, Mia had just opened her eyes for the first time since she fell unconscious.
She looked up to see a figure standing before her, and the first word she uttered was "GENJI"
SHIN SEKAI SECRET: there aren't many people that know the actual owner of the SHIN SEKAI company. Some believe that the information is hidden with magic.

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
