Bill was always the one who tried his best to see that Nathan smiled or even looked lively with them, but there was nothing he could do to make him feel happy. He was still trying to heal from the pain of losing his family and the nightmares he had. They would constantly keep him awake, driving him crazy whenever he thought about it. It only took one night, and everything was still playing in his head. “You know it’s not your fault?” Bill would always try to talk to him, Nathan had told him what was on his mind and how he was trying to make sure that he wouldn’t fall into despair. “You were a child and you think that there is something you would have been able to do to save yourself from all this.” Bill placed his hand over Nathan trying to make sure he was not going to lose a friend. It wasn’t clear yet what would happen if he were trying to leave alone. “You know, there were many things you could imagine happening but then you are still alive and kicking so there is no need o

Five Years Earlier—The Northern Plains The shining generals were still under the Lord of the North's control. They were the strongest forces that held everything together. Cruz, the rampaging tank. Elena, the Princess of Thorn Roger, Jade Dragon Liu, the Azure tiger Billy, the caped griffin. Nathan, the masked general. The Northern Plain was one of the toughest places to even think of attacking, the mere thought of it would bring the end of a land. And it would be done so quickly that no one could explain what happened. They had people around the North talking about Nathan and his allies like they were legends that were being overlooked. “The great Lord knows that the shining generals are the main reason why no one would even think of coming close to the North!” “Yes, their powers are beyond the mind itself.” “Especially the masked general!” “Ahh yes, we have never seen his face but we know that he is something else.” “True!” One man cut in, his eyes glimmering with joy

“So let me get something straight, you're telling me that there is a chance that she is part of the family that was one of the major heads in Caldor?” Cruz was looking at Ohera, he had learned something about Rachel and he could see a silver lining with her and there was a way that they would use it to hurt Nathan, or better yet take him down. “I found that out in a very peculiar way but then it isn’t something we should act on soon.” Ohera knew something wasn’t going to be right if they were going to rush in and use that to their advantage. “I know you want to make sure that there is nothing going to hold us back but listen to me, if word comes out that she is the last member of the Arias family then there will be major trouble in Caldor.” “How so?” Cruz asked looking at Ohera, he didn’t know what he meant when he was trying to tell him not to use it. It wasn’t something he would fight to ignore or even try to keep aside while he was looking at the bigger picture and trying t

“You now have the choice to work with her and make sure that you don’t upset her, or you can try to go against her.” Nathan moved forward looking at the men, his eyes were not going to let them think that he was joking. The men didn’t utter a single word, they knew what they were up against now and how it would be unwise for them to even try anything to move away.They didn’t even know who it was they were dealing with, he didn’t look like someone they would meet and he looked normal. “We understand sir, we are sorry for any problem we caused.” They bowed their heads, trying to see if they would get on his good side. Nathan stared at them for a while, not saying anything or even trying to push things further knowing that they wouldn’t even think of trying anything with Rachel. He turned back to look at her with a smile on his face. “I am sorry that I took a bit of time to handle this, but you can see that they aren’t going to be causing you problems again.” He smiled, taking h

Somewhere outside the party, far in the dark parts of Caldor, a silhouette of men in suits can be seen guarding a warehouse. It couldn't be seen what was going on inside the warehouse, and it was almost like they were pillars there. Inside the warehouse, Neo Ackerman was standing there with men seated around him, and something was biting him a bit. He knew the only reason why they would call him was to make sure that they would get a message through. “So you are telling me that Petoria was taken down. I will not take a joke!” One of the men roared, but Neo didn’t act like they were talking to him. He moved forward looking at them with a calm face trying to be sure that everything would be taken care of immediately. “Please calm down, there is no way we would have known that something like this would happen.” Neo was trying to make sure that there was nothing going to cause more problems for him and he was trying to put them at bay. He turned to look at one of his men, it was l

The men turned to look at each other, trying to see if they would understand what Nathan was talking about. They didn’t see him as the kind of man who would be a threat to them and they were not going to be scared of someone who wouldn’t even do a thing to them. “I don’t know what you think you have that would make it possible for you to even think of threatening us like that.” The shady-looking man said with a smirk on his face, trying to see if they could press Nathan down and not let him get the chance to breathe. Nathan pulled his phone out of his pocket, looking at them as they kept running their mouths like they were the bosses in everything. The phone rang for a while before it was answered from the other side. “Hello Nathan, is there any problem?” A voice could be heard from the other side. “Liu, I wanted to see if you would help me out with something important.” Nathan was looking at the two men in front of him, and the smile on his face widened. “Anything you want, I
