  • "You'd better not betray my daughter or ill cut you to pieces," the king said as he looks at the guy and walks out of the food house. He goes back to his castle and leaves the knights behind him to stay guard both of them.
  • Horses are heard by the guards outside, today is the king's birthday. The guards outside the gate stopped the arriving people with the horses. They are carrying weapons. Someone who looked special dropped his horse and walked toward a guard outside the gate. The guards of that special person were watching the guards, that special person has a paper and it looks like an invitational letter was given to the guard.

His assistant goes outside and goes to the food house to see talk to Elaine.
  • Sounds of horses can be heard. "My lord! Are you sure that the king give you an invitational letter?" One of the swordsmen said as they ride on their horses. 
  • "Yes! I and the king are good friends back in the day we just got to meet once a year," the lord said as he smiled. 
  • The Lord and his swordsmens are in a forest. They're almost at the castle. They keep hearing noises around them. The bodyguards are keeping guard at their lord and looking around they might be getting 
  • The guard's outside the castle can see the lords in the distance of the forest. The guards outside the castle signal to the knights inside that the lords are coming and the king expected them to come along every year.
  • The knights see that there's something in the forest. "Get this message to the king! Say that there's something in the forest and the lord might be in a predicament. 
  • One of the guards ride a horse and came back to the king's castle. He came back. "One of our knights send this message! It needs to report to the king immediately!" The guard shouts to one of the knights. The knight outside immediately gets the message and comes to the king running.
  • The knight knelt as he entered the king's chamber. "Sorry for my haste! My king! One of the guards sent a message outside the castle, saying there was something in the forest and the lord was right there.
  • The King looks at the message. He deciphers **Alpha Order** to his knights. "Make sure every man and every people in this village is safe! Knights! Get every army we have in case something happens to the lord! Ready the armies and evacuate the people!" The king said in a high voice. 
  • "My king this might be a false alarm! The knight said as he knelt. "We have to make sure! I am the king and I protect and defend the next generations of my peoples!" The king said in a high voice. The knight stands up and understands the point of the king.
  • The knight rang a massive bell at the height of the castle. The neighboring areas of the town also rang the huge bell which can still be heard. The Lord heard the bell and he knew it would happen so he speeded up his horse just to enter the castle. The guards were replaced by knights outside the gate. They opened the gate for those who were yet to come. The king put on body armor and went to his daughter. 
  • "We need to get out of here right now get to the castle! Elaine!" The king said to his daughter.
  • "I won't leave him!" Elaine said to his father as his father hold her in his hand. The knights and guards surrounded the king for his safety.
  • "My king! The Lord is coming and one of the guards told us that they speed up their horses," the knight said to the king. 
  • "Deploy the archers at the top of the walls and make sure! You hit your shots not last time!" The king said as he walks outside and ordered the knights that get his daughter and the boy inside the castle. 
  • The King rides up a horse and gets to the front gate. The army is all set up and ready for anything. The peoples are also already evacuated. The knights steady up and watch from the top. 
  • "The first lineup of the army move!" The king said in a high voice. The first lineup of the army is a horse with a swordsman that gonna be doing the work outside if something is chasing the lords. 
  • The first army moves outside the castle guarding the lords. The lord's bodyguard thinks to look left right at the reason the bell rang. The lord saw the gate open and swordsmen on their horses coming out. The lord looked to his left as his horse faster and faster. Suddenly a black aura appeared and swept away one of his crew and flew too far. The horse falls to the ground. 
  • The king quickly climbed to the top to see what was going on. He saw someone attack and flew too far. The guards surrounded their lord. One of the bodyguards saw that there was a black aura coming at him, he quickly drew his sword and was able to split the black aura and prevent him from flying quite too far. 
  • "Don't stop! Whatever you do! Don't stop! Get in the castle!" The Lord said to his bodyguards, they're almost there. An unexpected event happened, there was a black lion suddenly appeared to the left of one of the guards facing the lord. The lord was stunned he saw in front of him its bite on the head. The horse suddenly fell causing it to break behind him. The lord flew a bit because of his stupidity, he flew and his bodyguards stopped because the safety of the lord is their priority and the other guards also flew because they were affected by the collision.
  • "Lord!" One of the guards said. They quickly go to their lord. One of the guards the lord and the other guards and swordsmans pulled out their swords. They see that their lord is bleeding in the head but not that much, he's also unconscious. The bodyguard who is holding him quickly gets him in with the horse. The bodyguard holds his left hand and rides the horse. 
  • The castle's first army finally reaches its guards. They quickly ride in their horses as they go defend their lord. 
  • "Quickly! Get in!" The king shouts to all of them. They see that there's something big inside the forest and it's coming their way. 
  • The Lord and the bodyguard who is holding him manage to get into the castle and some of the lord's bodyguards. 
  • The King quickly ordered them to help the lord and get them the medics. The other visitors stay out of this and watch from the top. 
  • "Two of our men's are down, the one probably got flew and taken some serious damage but we can't save him now," one of the lord swordsmans said. 
  • They all quickly go into the castle. All of a sudden the forest quickly goes into a quiet place. All of the swordsmens and the bodyguards and the first army got in. 
  • The King ordered the knights to get in close the gate and stay guard all night. The King quickly goes to the lord. 
  • "Get him to the bed and treat him make sure he doesn't die!" The king said as he looked back to the forest. 
  • "Tell Agatsuma hit and the other finest samurai that something bad is gonna happen tonight," the king said to his knights. The knight quickly leaves the king's side and goes to the other part of the village to tell the order.
  • The Lord is wounded in the head. He quickly got medical attention from the king. They quickly carry him to the castle medical room to see if he's alright.
  • The King is with them. Middle of the day, the knights are staying in their posts and stay on guard. 
  • The King is with the first visitor. They quickly deployed owls to the other villages that got the invitation. To prevent saving their own lives.
  • A giant circled boulder is coming towards the walls of the castle. The knights are surprised and the king.
  • The wall was broken and its guards flew too far. The king quickly ordered the firing of their bows into the forest. So many casualties in an instant and also lost one of the foundations of their castle is gone. 
  • "Men's! Don't lose hope we will stand no matter what! Help each other to victory!" The king said to his knights and swordsmens.
  • They see so many black auras are coming out of the forest, they don't have time to just ask for help from another nation, "fire!" the king fires their special weapons at the black auras. The special weapon is the magic bow. When you got hit by this bow you will decay. 
  • They fire their arrows at the black aura but it didn't do anything much. Some of them decayed. 
  • "King! It's an entire region of the army!" Terrified said the knight as he knelt and drop his sword. 
  • "You coward! We will defend this castle as long as I stand! I will live for my people and the next generations! Now you will fight with me or not!?" The King said to his knights.
  • The knights became more aggressive and brave because of the king's speech. All of them shout. Another boulder is coming. 
  • It hit the wall again but the gate remains standing. The walls are already perforated and there are too many opponents outside. 
  • Their army is only in the hundreds against thousands of dark auras. The whole army of the king rushed. It is led by the king.
  • Swordsman came out and so the archers fired the dark auras of fire arrows. The king is in league with the knights left-right the massacre and fights with swords the dark aura was able to clear out half of the army. 
  • Gradually as the dark aura entered the castle the king remained standing with his fortified knights. There was an overwhelming aura the king saw in the distance. 
  • It suddenly disappeared and was able to cut off the king's head with no difficulty with a katana. The king knelt and fell it saw his daughter, his daughter rushed with the sword but it was also killed. 
  • His knights were dumbfounded and rushed thoughtlessly, one by one a very strong dark aura killed the knights.

  • Agatsuma hit visits the castle with the last knight of the castle. "You're the last knight! This is not a false alarm!" Agatsuma Hit said furiously. 
  • The knight kneel as he cried. The other swordsmans of the village begin searching for some evidence of what massacre happened to this castle. 
  • "What a tragedy! They couldn't do anything else this castle only holds a hundred men through decades," one of the swordsmens said to Agatsuma Hit. 
  • They see the king's body. They walk towards it. They sensed an extraordinary aura. They quickly stopped. Agatsuma Hit is sensing a lot of Dark aurae everywhere. 
  • "Quickly! We need to leave! They're still here!" Agatsuma said as he hurried out. A Dark aura can be seen, one of their swordsmans got flashed out and flew bunched of meters away. Agatsuma Hit sees that there are a lot of them and there are only five of them own. They can't beat them.
  • An explosion occurred in their front. They all jumped into the big trees and quickly get out. But one of their swordsmans got stabbed while jumping and didn't make it up. 
  • Agatsuma Hit quickly goes back to the main big nations but some of them didn't make it.
  • "How many casualties?" One of the heads of the village said as he sits down in his chair.
  • He punched the table of the heads of the village. He was furious at the fact that his village had no action about what had happened. 
  • "The enemy is Darks ... Dark mobs they killed a whole place so we don't know anything about it and we can't believe it, and we don't want you to go their especially that we found out that there is a Shira, Dark Shira if called," the said the heads of the village as he looked at Agatsuma Hit.
  • Agatsuma leaves the village with other 4 people. They leave the village leaving no traces behind. The other villages got intel from the castle that is not a dead castle that no one holds and talks about.
  • "The rumors are true, they're starting a great war in the north, they destroyed an entire region, and the castle is well destroyed, we don't have enough description about anything," one of the heads of the village said in the underground facility of their village.
  • The other heads talk about the upcoming great danger. They quickly deployed swordsmans in the other destroyed region, castle, and the other parts of the north.
  • Their finest swordsmans never came back. Leaving only emergency teleported messages. The heads of the villages trained a lot of swordsmans. 
  • "The fallen castle is the main reason why we build these armies, the king is right since the start that something is rising from an unknown part of this world," one of the heads of the village said to his other heads and the generals.
  • "The king is brave, he fights till the end for his people, the mighty sword of the king in there is still hidden through ages, even a Shira or a Dark Shira can't hold that much power," the General answered. 
  • "We will start renovating the village with the help of that man! We will not fall till the end as long as our men's stands!" The head of the village said.
  • The different nations hold their post outside the village to keep everything safe for their community and families. The knights are no longer available.
