Chapter 4 - Approaching Disaster

The Trunma Kingdom.

Without any hint of what is about to happen, every people inside is living their lives peacefully like they have no problems at all.

It had been decades since they had a war, they became dull due to the peaceful times.

Nyken, this time didn't go out of the Kingdom as she immediately went and continued her reading at the Library.

Reading all the information about Rakzswei, she had never tried doing it, but she wanted to become one, someone that has power over elements.

In the whole of the Continent of Philpnes, Women can never be a warrior, the highest position a woman can attain is actually just an Alchemist, inscriptionist, blacksmithing, and fighting is out of their jurisdiction, especially the political scene, the only thing they can do is either be a wife, a worker, or an alchemist.

But as free-spirited as she is, she wanted to try everything, hence, she started to study everything that is against the rules secretly.

Nyken then found a very old book as she browsed through it, at the start of that book is a very long paragraph that was written in a narrative form, she then read it.

"A long long time ago, there is no power in our lands, Human race hiding at the face of the demon beasts, the monsters that tormented us all, the Human Race has no choice but to hide in fear of its shadows.

One day, something happened, the creator of our World, the Omnipotent Being decided to help us, he had decided to lend us his power, from the skies, he had brought down a big meteor which struck the center of our World.

A power to control all elements started to embed itself in the center of our World that had caused us to feel it at some time, the very first man to have controlled this power, an unknown being that suddenly showed himself out of nowhere wielded the power of the Omnipotent Being, controlling all elements in this World.

He, the being who called himself Ma// R///r killed a lot of Demon Beast and helped us to build Humanity's first stronghold, The Gailea Empire, The Gailea Empire is like a Floating Fortress with a lot of stones magically floating at its side, but that Empire has been lost for hundreds of thousands of years, the only people that knew it vanished together with the Floating Empire, only leaving a few books of history in our Land."

Nyken finished reading as she looked at the blurry part of the story.

"Ma? R R? hmmm, what could it be, ahh, so this World had such a very sad history, so, that person must be the creator's servant? ahhh, being the Omnipotent Being's servant, what an honor, how powerful could that person had been?"

Nyken continued reading as she became immersed at the story inside the book.

...

Quite fast, six days had already passed and Nyken would come and go at the Library secretly, but finally tiring herself out, she decided to take a walk outside and hang at her favorite spot, where she could see the wide never ending horizon of the World.

She sneakily tried to go at the Stable and rode her personal horse.

"Mhaku! how had you been? Sorry that I haven't visited you frequently, I've been busy reading books."

"Neigh!!!!"

The horse jumped full of spirit as she saw her owner.

"Shhh! They will hear us! We will go out secretly again, hehe."

The horse quieted down like it had understood what Nyken had spoken and walked out of her private room.

Nyken immediately prepared to set up Mhaku but a person suddenly appeared.

"You going out again? Father strictly forbade you right? he said that you need to continue your studies, you`ve been neglecting it."

Nyken pouted as she replied: "But Brother, I`ll do it once I`ve returned."

That person is Gordon, he smiled as he sighed and replied: "Alright, but be sure to return when you see that the Sun is about to set, got it?"

Nyken smiled as she replied: "Got it Big Bro, hehe, you really are the best brother in the whole World!"

Gordon chuckles as he helped in fixing Mhaku's saddle.

After a while, Gordon spoke.

"Done!"

"Thanks, Bro!"

Gordon helped Nyken to get on the horse.

Nyken then out of nowhere felt something amiss and got down.

Nyken looked at Gordon as she tilted her head and spoke.

"Brother, is something the matter?"

Gordon looked at Nyken in bewilderment before answering.

"Nothing, why? are you sick or something?"

Pondering for a bit, Nyken shook her head as she continued.

"Well, Bro, I`ll be going now!"

Gordon smiled as he nodded and helped her back up again.

"Hya! We go Mhaku!"

Gordon chuckles as he looked at the Nyken's figure.

Nyken dashed out of the Castle as she immediately went to her favorite spot.

Gordon immediately went back to his post to check on the Troop's ration.

...

Three kilometers away from the Trunma Kingdom.

A group of heavily armed men was rushing their way towards the Trunma Kingdom.

The one leading them has an eyepatch in his left eye, while the right cheek until its right has three heavily made scratch mark like one that would've come from a bear's attack.

That man shouted.

"How long till we reach the Trunma Kingdom?"

The one beside him looked at the sky as a green light flashed at his eye as a gem floated in the air, a Rakzswei lower tier 1 stone!

"We're between two and a half kilometers to three kilometers away from the Trunma Kingdom, General Keewey."

The one named Keewey smiled as he nodded and shouted.

"Men! We shall drink blood today! Hyaaaa!"

"YEAH!"

They were sneakily making their way towards the Trunma Kingdom, but now that they are close, they couldn't care less about the attention that they will be getting, they are now prepared to have their vengeance from many years ago settled today.

A lot of these men had a Brother, Father, Cousin, or Friend that had died from the great war many years ago, the only wish they have is to have their revenge, and seeing their dreams would come true, they were thrilled and couldn't be more motivated that they had ever been on their whole life.

"FASTER!"

"YES!"

Enemies, from the Neighboring Empire, the Montlan Empire, numbering to a total of 100,000 elite troops, and with a single aim.

"DESTROY TRUNMA KINGDOM!"

"GLORY BE TO THE MONTBLAN EMPIRE!"

"DESTROY!!!"

"GLORY!!!"

"REVENGE!!!"

Shouts and screams filled with hatred can be heard throughout all the direction.

Weaker demon beast was killed on the way as the stronger ones just avoided the strong march.
