Chapter 3 The King

  • "I'm at the King's command, here to give you a message from one of the Samurai. That samurai is currently in that land. It was dead land, a hidden village. She's about to reach that place and I request backup for her. She might need it, I almost died and I didn't even get in," the unknown man said as he breathed heavily.
  • The unknown man in front of him nodded and suddenly he vanished. He closes his eyes as he vanished the unknown man. He was thinking clearly and he remembered Kuroe Aka Kodai. He folded both of his hands and there were sudden particles flowing around his hands.
  • Kuroe was in the kingdom about to walk when all of a sudden she started hearing voices in her head that made her stop and sweat. She looked around at first and saw no one near her.
  • "I heard you're looking for a wizard inside this kingdom... I'm the guard of this kingdom... Tell me what brings you here young woman?" An unknown voice asked inside her head.
  • "I'm from the future and. Yes, I know the future, but this past is different. Unknown extraterrestrials will attack this current present of yours and that will equal no future... It was an unexpected event. If the current past gets destroyed, then there's no more future, that's why I'm here and the Grand Sorcerer is the one who sent me here," she thought as she heard the unknown voice chuckling.
  • "Make me believe you and we have a deal," the unknown said in her voice again. It suddenly went away. She looked up and sees someone in the window wearing a crown. It was far up and she saw that it was the king looking out at the window.
  • He glances and sees her. As he looked down he managed to see a glimpse of the shadow and it covered the ground. Suddenly, he sees the woman vanish that was on the ground.
  • That made his eyes widen and he quickly turned around. He was about to go back to his throne when all of a sudden a man appeared kneeling. He was wearing armor and a green necklace on his neck.
  • He also has a giant sword behind his back and has black hair and bright yellow eyes. He knelt and thought for a moment before speaking. The king continued to stand and he looked around and felt complete silence and peace.
  • "I got a message from our sorcerer. He said that there was an unknown woman sorcerer who had entered the kingdom and said to be her from the future... What do we do with her? The sorcerer of ours thought she wanted to talk to you and cooperate with you," the unknown man said.
  • "Warrior... If I die right here, lead the entire kingdom to victory... War can occur anytime in different kingdoms and we might be against them, and I want you to take her head off if she kills me... You're my only warrior, my champion," the King said from the bottom of his heart. The unknown man who was a warrior was honored.
  • The warrior bowed and said thank you. He left with great speed and shows a good and kind and strong justice presence. At the same time, he also has an overwhelming aura.
  • "One more thing, my King, one of the Samurai, has entered one of the places that are said to be infested with Darks. I've warned her that it's too dangerous because of the traps that cannot be undone, yet she's now there," the warrior said, as the King wondered.
  • "We will send the other Samurai and with Kuroe Aka Kodai, shocked? I know her name... She's the only survivor in that clan, but this time it's her future self... I can't believe she managed, but we need to see if she's really worth it to be there... Let's send them both to her and see what they both think," the King replied with a great tone. The warrior smiled and stood and bowed and turned around.
  • Suddenly, there was an unknown man leaning in the shadows in the left corner of the room wearing a demon mask and a kimono and a sword on his left waist. The warrior signaled and he stopped leaning and nodded and suddenly vanished.
  • "Hmm... I see you've already talked to him, how's his day?" The King asks as he sits down on his throne and the warrior quickly turns around and kneels.
  • "He said it was not going well, he doesn't know where she went and now she's dealing with this woman. Do you think we should tell him now, don't we? My King?" He answered and also asked as he slowly raised his head and looked at the King with respect.
  • "Yes, maybe... But we should deploy him with her. I know he heard what we're talking about and now he has decided, that is why he didn't ask questions. You know he's the kind of man among the seven warriors that has a lot of questions that I cannot answer. I was hoping that I could but I couldn't, except for the others... But don't get me wrong, all of your answers are hard, but he is different. I know he has a terrible past with her, yet he chooses to protect others. He was hoping that his past had never happened to any people or any children, but that couldn't be concluded, since we live in an Era where the Dark Realm is in the shadows waiting for the right moment and have supposed that the other Kingdoms has no idea about this great danger that they're about to come across," the King answered as the warrior were suddenly serious.
  • Aka was walking around the castle in a dark alley. She wandered around and sang. Her voice was so low that she was whispering. Her eyes were normal and her necklace was still around her neck.
  • Suddenly, she heard someone land behind her, which made her turn around and see a swordsman wearing a demon mask. That made her terrified and almost shouted, but she remained silent and cast magic round cube energy in her left hand.
  • "You must be that sorcerer... I'm a Samurai! I've been sent by a sorcerer from the land of Kirin... It's a lightning thunder clan, and that's where sorcerers live. The protector of this Kingdom... He's not from that clan but he has a wife from that clan. Now do you mind showing off a little bit?" He asked menacingly as he showed his overwhelming aura.
  • "What do you mean?" She replied in a terrified voice. That made him think and grab his sword with his right and draw it gradually and menacingly.
  • "I'm a Samurai! And my mission is to protect this at all costs... Now tell me! Why did that old man choose you as the savior of the world? You're not worth it! You had better die while you're still young and strong... That old man was a fool bringing a young inexperienced into this timeline," he said menacingly. He was mad and he was showing his terrifying overwhelming aura as he gradually pointed his blade to his right side.
  • The King sent him and that unknown sorcerer also sent him. That's why he was in the shadows inside the King's castle a while ago with one of the warriors.
  • He was about to step on his left foot and there he showed his killer intent aura that made the necklace she was wearing light up brightly around her neck. That made him stop advancing, as he didn't remove his eyes from looking at the necklace that she was wearing.
  • There he was convinced and he quickly put back his sword at his left waist while closing his eyes and he knelt and gave respect to her. Her eyes widened as she stopped releasing energy into her hands.
  • "W-what are you kneeling for?" She asked in a hurried, shy voice as she quickly approached him. But then he opened his eyes and stared at him menacingly.
  • "You hold an ancient power... That's why I kneel, because I respect your bravery... Walking into this kingdom without knowing that there are deadly warriors and sorcerers wandering around inside this place... You're lucky that you didn't encounter that man in front of the gate. I wonder what he's up to," the samurai asked as he smiled behind the mask.
  • "I don't really know what you are talking about... This necklace was given to me, my grandmother gave it to me... She said that it would protect me and it did... But things started going differently when I started wearing it... She died and I will never forget her smile, and then my family... My sister and brother all died. I can't believe its fate and I hold a kind of power... No, it's not only me, it's my entire clan that holds this kind of power, it was not rare for us to have this kind of necklace... Now I know what its purpose is." she said in a serious tone as she held her necklace with her right hand while tears came out of her eyes.
  • "Good... You're definitely not ready, you're not powerful enough to beat down those enemies. Come with me, Aka, I'll show you to the King and you'll meet the number one warrior that protected the whole kingdom alone while we're away. That day was the Dark day or Doomsday. I couldn't express my thanks to him," the Samurai said as he began to walk out of the alley and signal a hand sign to Aka to follow him.
  • Inside the castle. It's the King's throne room. A door opened and Aka and the Samurai walked in with respect and silence. The Samurai glances in the distance and sees the King has expected him and her. She looked around her and saw a bright light room and tiles on the ground to walk in.
  • The Samurai kneeled and removed his mask and hat that he was wearing. He also put aside his sword that was on his left waist with his left hand and bowed and stood kneeling.
  • "My King, this is Kuroe Aka Kodai, a powerful sorcerer in my opinion," the Samurai welcomed her as the King stands and looks at her from above. She was serious as all of a sudden a warrior came in that she hadn't noticed except for the Samurai.
  • There were bodyguards right outside the throne room. The door closed behind the unknown warrior and he kneeled quietly while hiding his presence.
  • "Are you sure? She doesn't look like one to me... Bring the sorcerer of thunder right here and tell him to train her before handling a war and bring me that Grand Sorcerer or I'd say the master wizard," the King snapped and the Samurai nodded and turned to his left where Aka Kodai was kneeling.
  • "I'm afraid that he won't be showing up anytime soon. He got sent on a mission with a whole other clan to guard a region right outside this Kingdom. They've decided that in the next year their region will be part of this kingdom," the warrior said behind them both and that made Aka turn around while sweating, not noticing him.
  • "You take care of yourself here, I'll be away... The warrior behind me will be the one guiding you. The master Wizard asks us a favor and, the same as that Wizard you're looking for, if you make a wrong move out of this Kingdom you could be sentenced to death or will deal with deadly mobs, and My King... Auctions are happening in the region in the western part of the kingdom. You should bid for fun since it has been a long time since you left this castle," the Samurai said as he proposed an idea to the king that made him smile.
  • He stood and grabbed his sword and hat and bowed. He then turned around and left without giving any presence. She then turns to her right and then behind her and sees the warrior kneeling completely unfazed.
  • "Kuroe Aka Kodai, tell me what did that Master Wizard tell you? I'm concerned since he randomly picks which one and maybe there's some difference, like you're not in our timeline. There's a possibility that this isn't your timeline and meaningfully, possibly, that this timeline was doomed, anyways, but I'm not hoping for that." the King said in a pale voice as the warrior suddenly approached him and helped him sit down on his throne. He suddenly feels dizzy and the warrior notices it. She also tried to reach her hands towards his hand and help him sit down, but the Warrior came out of nowhere.
  • "He's fast! And it's not only that he's strong! He has his giant blade behind his back and it's an enchanted blade, but its enchantments are hidden. Once the holder touches the handle tightly it will glow bright and could shine or give heat like a torch, he's dangerous alright," she thought nervously.
  • "I told you, my King, you should rest... Even though it's near evening, your body can't any longer keep up. I'll assign a loyal soldier to help you out every day, every second. Every minute, and every hour," the warrior said in a serious voice as the King sat down on his throne and looked pale. He quickly turned around and was about to leave to call a doctor when the king showed a presence that made him turn around. She sensed it and her eyes widened as she lowered her head down.
  • "There's no need to call a doctor, my Warrior...! Now, let's talk, Aka. You had to better listen, and same as you, my trustable warrior and the others in the shadow, I'm the Second King, a past swordsman, a past warrior, and a past protector of this Kingdom. I protect this Kingdom whatever it takes, even if it kills me. Now what's the issue?" The King asked as the warrior knelt and he was a little far behind Aka.
  • "Uhm... Yes, the Master Wizard has sent me here to train and get ready... He said it could happen anytime and I'm ready... I'm already trained and ready but there's magic and energies here that I sensed and it passed over mine, but I have abilities that can compete with those energies and magic and more... Also about the Dark Realm," she answered nervously.
  • "I see. The Dark Realm, you say?"
  • "How did you know about the Dark Realm? Does the future still have one?" The Warrior asked, making her wonder and stand and raised her right hand. It started lighting up and all of a sudden black smoke appeared and covered her right hand and there was energy and magic flowing around her right hand.
  • "Yes, it is... I didn't obtain this... My father has this and he chooses to keep hiding it... That Dark Realm is far more dangerous than this timeline and may I ask, does the Master Wizard have a secret special ability?" She asked and thought deeply as the King and the Warrior stared at each other for a second before one of them answered.
  • "Yes, he has one, and I feared he might get mad, but that's not that big of a deal... Now Aka, his special ability is Timeline Approach. He can ask himself in another timeline to help his own timeline, but that would be a risk if the person borrowed him in that timeline and didn't come back. That universe has a possibility of getting destroyed or that world specifically... Now, he chooses you to help this world and if this world is defeated, then so is the future of this world... I can say that a multiverse exists," the King answered in a serious tone. She stared at him and looked at his crown and saw that it was shining brightly on top of his head.
  • "Then he's dangerous alright... Then I asked... How many sorcerers are there in this Kingdom? Your Highness, I fear that you don't have much time left. I'll state to you my plan. But before that, let me say that I'm in the first division of existing powerful sorcerers in my world... I have another prime level and a store of power," she said in confidence, as all of a sudden the door opened behind her and three unknowns walked in dressed differently than the others.
  • That made her turn around and sense their overwhelming aura far from her aura. Sweat dripped on her forehead as she stepped to her left and moved out of the way.
  • "We all heard that from far away and sensed that you had a powerful necklace... Don't worry, we won't kill you, we are the other Warriors sent by that Sorcerer. I will tear that man apart... I can't believe he didn't even show up here in front of the King," an unknown swordsman said as he ate a dumpling and kneeled.
  • "How are you, my King? Have you been doing well?" An unknown woman asked who was also a swordswoman and she had a bow on her back and a sword on her left waist. She had bright green eyes and she was in front of the two unknowns. She also kneels and puts aside her blade.
  • "I-im fine, all of you stop kneeling... I only have a couple of months left. Now make sure to guide this woman, and don't be mad just because I want you to do it. I want you four to guide her and hide her from others, since she may get a lot of hatred and burden, and a lot of things won't go in your way. My warriors, a lot will happen and unwanted visitors may soon come," the King said in a serious tone, and every single one of them was silent and listening. They listened to every word and didn't forget it. They respected the King to the bottom of their hearts.
  • "I'm sorry My King... But I cannot acknowledge some woman sorcerer entering our timeline without the other's permission... But they have... But I don't... And it is so Grand Sorcerer has made many mistakes that I can't even speak everything... But at the same time, he has done so many good things, but the death and the loss are still remarkable and the civilians of this Kingdom will never forget that tragedy. It was his call, a soldier of his alarmed him that he would be framed, but he didn't listen and his men and women soldiers got killed and the same as his underlings, leaving only him," an unknown said in a calm voice. He was on the left side of her staring at Aka, who looked down at the ground.
  • "Our knowledge about him in our universe is different... I'm from the first division and I believe this Kingdom still has this kind of gimmick... We found out that he died protecting their souls. His soul is the only one that got sucked in... If that soul gets sucked in, it will forever be in that void of darkness and nothingness of it will torture for eternity... He saves their souls but he can't save his," she said in a low, sad voice. That made everyone in the room look at her.
  • "He's the Grand Sorcerer, Aka... He's advanced, no one can step one more than him in strategizing, he's even far from me, I'm not a sorcerer or anything, I'm just a swordswoman who serves peace for Kingdoms. I'd like to add one more Aka. He's the man who fought a thousand men in the land of Karan village. It's a village full of jungle trees, and that is a powerful clan. They've been exiled for seeking power. He fights them alone and fights to win without anyone's help. Now that the clan is sleepless and hiding in the shadows, if they manage to know that he is no longer in this world, then then war will ignite and we can't stop it. We can only stop it by killing all of them," the unknown woman said in the middle of the two. She stared at Aka with a terrifying aura.
  • She was nervous and sweating as she sensed it. She continued to look down while her necklace was lit up.
  • "The Dark Realm is expanding... This is a sudden alarm for all of us. There's a total of eight warriors in this kingdom. I sent the other Samurai and the other Samurai will be there after a while... It was a realm into another realm... A meteor struck land near a region outside the Village Graden in the west of our village. Apologies from me that I just said it this time... I was expecting a meeting with you, My King, with the others, but this is an unexpected event and the Samurai are already on the move," the Warrior said in a high voice, the one that has a giant sword on his back.
  • "My King, I need to ask... Is one of the seven warriors not accepting one of the warriors as a warrior?" Aka asked as the four of them lowered their heads down, but the King. He folded together his hands and stared at his warriors.
  • "They only consider themselves as seven, but I consider them as eight and also him. Your conclusion is wrong. Aka, one of them, didn't consider himself one of the warriors, they didn't know that there was a meteor that struck the ground near the village Graden. Aka hides these words for now, and all of it is the truth," the King answered as they all lowered their heads.
  • "We must send Aka with him. You have to gain our trust first... Let's see if you're truly worthwhile, find the two Samurai. The other Samurai that my Warrior is telling hasn't left yet in the village... I can still sense his presence. Aka, if you come back alive the same as both of them and they've explained various things, then you've officially gained my trust, but I hope it's the same as them... Now you should advance," the king said in a serious tone. He was dead serious when he said it.
  • That made Aka Kodai stand and nod. He whispered thank you and left. She was honored. The other four were left behind and they sensed Aka using magic right outside the door to teleport to the Samurai that was just about to leave the Kingdom.
  • "She has some kind of force and natural energy... That seems more dangerous than I thought and I sensed it from here... That Grand Sorcerer might be right to pick her, she's already gone... She's next to him. I can sense her from here... Red Ancient Energy, huh? I wonder what the consequences and the outcome will be," she said and thought as she stared at the ceiling.
  • "You all might be wrong but you might also be right... She's a mystery to us, but that Grand Sorcerer's thinking is just on another level... She went through a lot in her life that we couldn't expect, and now she's heading to that place. That region is long gone and now it's a place for us. The Dark Legions are coming, I expect you to be at service," the King said to the women that were kneeling. She grabbed her sword with her left hand and bowed and left the throne room without saying anything. Three of them were left and their aura shows differently.
  • "My King, you've lied a couple of things in this conversation, I believe it was a wise thing to say" the young warrior added. He said it in a low, respectful voice.
  • "She must've thought of something, she's thinking and that always makes her silent... Her inferring and thinking are different. She was like a leaf that cannot be torn or turned to dust... She was like an undying leaf, I acknowledge her thinking, she thinks like a real captain, she's the only one who handles those menaces and now it's happening again," an unknown man said in a calm voice. It was a young man and he was already part of the Warriors of the Kingdom.
  • "Then prepare the troops or I'd say our whole army... Don't let your guards down, never let the King down nor each other, and protect each other till the very end. Warriors, you now begin you're working, and thank you for your service, this Kingdom is not here if you, my warriors aren't here... Thank you!" The King thanked three of them but they were incomplete. The King said he would also thank them personally if they were in the castle with him. The three vanished in a blink of an eye and left the King alone with two of his loyal soldiers. Then he started coughing.
