In the backstages, a total different play from the one Heracles was watching was going on...
At that time, the whole world was in a pivital moment indeed. No empire had remained strong enough, and the winner between the two teams was destined to take control over the world for the long long future.
1523, April the 18th. Was the set date for this holy war !
But before going into details about it. We have to understand who composed the two sides and what events occured before !
One might think again that It is pretty simple, just as black and white. Good and evil! Or is it?
What really defines good or evil is something that should be constant for all humans, yet it is not and has never been! That may be a question for the end of times to answer.
Back then, it was either you give in to the evil and malicious and thus be granted instant powers and results. Or fight for the right and wellbeing but sacrifice a whole lot in the process.
The demons and the Atlanteans knew that war is inevitable, especially seeing how the world was in total unbalance, on the verge of a needed change.
Both made their moves!
On top of the Atlantean association at the time, was a strong fierce looking man in his early 50s, half blond half white hair, blue eyes and a light beard. Armored by his silver armor and always holding his thick long sword in his right hand, as he rode his pitch black horse. He went by the name of Charlemagne, Charlemagne The Great!!
Their castle was actually situated in central Europe, it was in the middle of a very dense forest that little to no people could find unless they were informed of its location.
He seemed to be giving a speech to his fellow men.
"Men of justice, it is now or never...The war is soon coming and we must be prepared. Losing isn't an option or else, god knows what will happen to the earth he entrusted us with!
To make sure of that, we have to gather as many forces as possible. I'll be personally going towards the Roman empire, I still have ties with them even after many centuries later.
Eremiah! You'll be going to the middle east, I am sure you'll be able to bring splendid help from there."
"Will do!" Replied who seemed to be a younger version of the head master today!! A way younger version.
Charlemagne continued to give his instructions, but simultaneously !
Under their feet. Another head master was giving his instructions.
"…Beelzebub, you did this many times before. It won't be anything hard now that humans has gotten even more greedy and low minded."
"Yes father!". Beelzebub replied!
Satan. "Mammon, do not leave a king in the world without tempting them with all sort of means!
Amadeus and Lilith will accompany you as well, as they have a lot to offer.
Leviathan, gather all pirates and wrong doers in the sea and guide them to the land of battle once we're there.
And as for you Belphegor..."
Everybody was actually waiting for his turn, they were curious to know what would such a lazy person be of use in such case. But Satan had everything planned.
"The Atlanteans will surely try to gather forces of their own, your job is to use your means of laziness and invention and stop them from joining the war, or atleast delay them until it's too late."
Belphegor had an annoyed face, but he cannot do no wrong when his father is present.
"Alright, i'll do my best."
Satan sits on his crown, and rests his head on his hand.
"Finally, a chance to have my world back again to me...I hope you don't disappoint!"
However, there was one prince missing from this scene...And for some reason nobody dares question where he is...Or maybe they're not even interested in knowing about it!
....
Time of preparation has ended, the war is literally one day away!!
All Atlantean forces were calm and serious, except one! Who made a rockus in all the castle...
"I can't wait for this damn war to start!!! I want to slice everyone coming my way into pieces.
How is no one else excited!!!?????"
As he kept on rambling, there came Alkeyder smiling from the back and put his hands on his the knight's back
"Galahad! Sit down young man. It is better if you took time to talk to those who you love.
We never know what God is hiding for us!"
But Galahad had such an intense and excited personality that he barely could sit down.
"Hey Sahaqiel ! Don't you feel the same as me?
I know you do, you're only hiding it !!"
Sahaqiel was sitting in front of him, all calm and focused.
"I do! But that can only come out when we're there at war...."
Galahad. "Alright Alright! Make sure not to die though...I heard that even angels die."
Sahaqiel smiled. "…You heard it from me, but not this time..."
Both of them stared at each other, and then shook hands like true childhood friends who grew up together…
Charlemagne entered the big hall room. Accompanied by two men on his sides, one of them was Eremiah.
After he sat on his chair, Eremiah proceeded to tell the updates to everyone in there. Who were about 2000thousands man and woman!
"We were succesfully able to convince 5 kings and emperors to join us in our final battle!
The Roman emperor, The Ismaili Kalif, The persian king, The Ethiopian king and for our last ally, our great leader was able to bring a special one of which we had never seen before, The people from the other side of this heaven!"
Here, Eremiah did not mean another world! He meant the people who lived in the other continents overseas, in particular, it was in fact the red indians!!!
Charlemagne took the parole. "They are now currently on their way to the battle, they'll arrive in perfect timing by tomorrow. This, will shake the enemy's calculations and intimidate them!
It is true we have never been in a direct war such as this. But they too haven't faced opponents of our qualiber!
Again, each and everyone has to stick strictly to his role! Do not panic no matter how the situation becomes, stick to the plan and by God's will, we will prevail.
Beside those who are allowed and capable, all women shall fall back and use their healing technics to keep our human sources renewable!
As for our soldiers, The strongest must come forth! The weakest must assist! The alchemists shall protect and seal!!
I don't need to tell the head masters what they should be doing, to each the freedom to act how he sees best according to the war ongoings. Each of you must oblige their orders !!
At last, before we all sleep very profoundly tonight...I want to appologize to every single one of you!
I do realize that all these years i came off as someone hard to reach, probably I wasn't that great of a leader, you deserved someone way more caring, someone who would make you feel like it was really home, but all i did was being neglecting and seperated...
I just came off to this realization now that i stood up seeing your faces and eyes looking up to me!
What a fool I was..."
Silence...Everywhere!
You wouldn't know why if you weren't there for all those years, Charlemagne is the last person on that castle to say such thing in front of anybody, let alone everybody!!
That is why it had so much impact on them, to the point they couldn't react...
Except again for one person, It had to be him!
Galahad gets up on the table and screams.
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT OLD MAN???
DONT RUIN THE IMAGE I ALWAYS HAD ABOUT YOU!! YOU ARE THE ONE I LOOKED UP TO BECOME LIKE!!! And what's with all these sad faces, do you think our leader can die in this battle? Look what you did, you made them believe that you're saying goodbye!!
EVERYONE HOLD HIS HEAD UP, AND MARCH FOR VICTORY WITH ME!!
IF YOU DONT WANT TO BE THEIR LEADER THEN I WILL!!!"
Another silence took place...But this time it was just a weird one, until…
"HAHAHA....AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....HHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAHAHH". Charlemagne cracked up to tears !!
Hearing him laugh actually made everyone else realize how funny the situation was, and so all of them followed suit, The place echoed with laughter!!
"You brat!! I haven't laughed like this since forever...You are right!!
A man like you is what we need in our war!!"
He raises his voice.
"MEN OF JUSTICE!!!"
*And with it he holds his sword so high up the sky*
MARCH TOWARDS VICTORY!!!"
Everyone, roared right away.
"YYEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS SIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!"
They were as ready as they come...
