Pilatun valley - A valley between In'thren and Tlâng(Two tall mirrored hills) which stood at Sloan in the valley's west and Arienne in it's(the valley) east respectively. In the middle of the hills lies Pilatun a flat land with a river in the middle - an incredibly unique biome-rich in minerals, the valley holds stones magical and all, with every and any essentials that could easily feed and supply a number of Kingdoms - It typically is an endless supply of minerals with heavy augmentation of all known and unknown.
*Rumored tales insisted that the land of the floating islands, Ea'chhûm detached itself from the valley*.
The valley has many names, the most distinctive one is êng'reng meaning ever-light.
Light orbs - mixtures of different magical stones, formed Itself in the valley naturally - however a strange phenomenon disallows any to unearth it - for when done so, it crumbles. The harmonic choir of lights with different variations of colours used the sky as canvas for people of far and nigh to see. An ever aurora Borealis with variations.
The rich land of Pilatun - fought over for ages, All kingdoms from far and nigh - held camps for skirmishes and mines, long was the stand still and a decision finally made - that none was to own Pilatun, it's richness to be untouched but only for a single moth the vast lands of Kansho unites, friend, foe and all - to mine those valued resources.
The mines where the villagers of Fuu'ue were taken and held captive as slaves, laid along In'thren the hill on the border side of Sloan.
The dimmed light partially shadowed by the tall hill, provide enough stealth, and deeds of illegal activities.
"As I said, these mines are illegal, so what we do here is justifiable,so you understand right, kid? " said Wadu quietly.
"Right!" answered Al, looking determined but at the same time his face showed that he was not at all grasping Wadu's words.
Sighed Wadu looking at the kid, "It means, since the overlord is making mines, which is illegal----" said Wadu but halting his explanation for a second since the who - he explained it too seemed to not comprehend the word 'illegal' as judged from the blank look he lets off, "Illegal means.... not allowed!", Wadu explained with a shook of the head, " Ohh! Got it." said Al.
"It just means that we can go to Arienne without any consequences!". said Wadu, Irritatedly whispering-his toned downed voice now sounded like a shriek from angry beasts.
"Yes consequences!" replied Al, with a droplet of sweat and still on his dumb look.
"*haaa*" sighed Wadu heavily, however, he ignored the dumb Al.
"whatever kid! you got the plan right?" Wadu asked.
"Yeah!" said Al.
The two sneaked out from the trees towards the mine - which wasn't guarded - a stroke of luck thought Wadu.
On reaching the mine, they heard faint sounds of clinking- irons hitting rocks and a faint illuminance of lights coming deep within the mines.
'Not even a track?? cruel bastard!' Wadu thought, his face holds a distinctive look of anger - more so now than ever, hatred played a gruesome role. A man of heavy conviction.
"Remember don't blow up too much, we're in a mine." said Wadu warning the hot headed Al.
The unlikely allies ventured further inside.
Not long after Wadu stood and said, "Stay behind me, Kid".
He closes his eyes and summoned a nigh visible wind - force, that solemnly blew further deeper inside. The winds-precisely used as scouts- as a detecting agent with no body- a most useful technique, searches-touched, every nook and cranny of the mine.
"1.. 2..3..4.5..6...7..8...".
" 8 guards 73 workers!" said Wadu, "You ready, kid?".
Yes nodded Al.
" Go in, alert the bastards, and do what I say" ordered Wadu.
Al played his best as a decoy, "Hey assholes!" shouted Al, the guards as expected turned their attention towards Al.
"Come at me pigs, I'll beat you all up" said Al, with a smile of confidence.
"Check out this runt guys!" said a guard, "Take turns beating him up?" raised a question by another.
"Coming in so brave runt, you think this slaves could help you?, they're all chained up you see, hahaha!" They laughed, Al - who in appearance just simply looked like a kid, angry for taking his father as a slave, so these guards gathered up to ease their itching hands.
Al keeps up the look of a vain angry child, the guards cornered the poor kid in a circle - all eight of them.
"Nothing personal kid" they said,
"Yeah! this ain't personal too!" said a voice, the guards in alert, for a voice so deep and rugged, much so different from the little kid's tone from before. It was Wadu - from the dark he appeared with a grin so confident , the guards sweated like he's known.
Immediately he casted winds so fierce-so sturdy it brushed the guards and slammed them to the walls, with a constant flow - masterfully controlled - kept the guards stuck in their place, unable to move.
Wadu with his hands held up in place, "Kid,cut the chains and scram."
Al made his hands volcanic hot, like hands made of lava, the men were freed of their chains.
"Go go go,,, hurry!" shouted Al.
"I'll kill this asshole" said a villager, "There's no time mister!" yelled Wadu.
"tch!" exclaimed the villager.
"Wait!, Is he here?" asked Al, just the looks from his eyes showed what he meant.
"No, Al!" they answered, bleak faces in reminiscent of the beloved elder who hath passed.
"HURRY KID!" yelled Wadu, the villagers although with grudges ran out of the mines.
Not long after,as when all seemed evacuated. Wadu took an excessively intense breath in- then a slight moment of pause, he let out a strong blow-casting a wild twirling wind- a hurricane by all means. The blast so strong - it blew the guards the tools and all - further deep inside the mine, struggling as they did so, the guards failed to counter or even make the faintest of moves, the wind-the hurricane so fierce and constant with it's twirl - it sent the guards in a uncomfortable panic ride-the recoil however could be a con, but since Wadu was a master of his own, the recoil he used as an exit plan and since the mine was straight he shot out in the air, "Heat this bitch up Kid!" shouted Wadu - still in the air. Al followed the command - strange, he himself thought for once did they fought and lost - and now he's like a saviour but without a clear cause - a motive behind his actions, were all what the villagers asked. Grateful they were but wondered why- Wadu a stern man, clearly a man of heavy conviction and patriotism, would save citizens of Sloan.
But yet who'd knew a cause for patriots, maybe people's what they truly fights for? or a lover but who? and what? they simply don't know, for now without a question asked, they simply accepted the help.
Al did what's asked of him, he blasted volcanos, he remembered what Lu did to him and burned his fire - a bright a more.
The mine filled with red hot substances which melted from the fire. Survivor none , as he preferred and he thought , 'this is the first for many'.
The aftermath - the villagers hugged and kissed and cried tears of sorrow and joy.
Wadu smiled a bit, un-missed by Al who said , "Hah! Kid" with a smirk.
"Runt" Wadu smiled back, what formed between them - seemed like a start of a strong bond.
Brave and slowly the villagers walked through the night - leaving their past behind.
A long walk awaited them all - onto whatchers-keep they marched. Children, elders and all, their journey tiring but not once did they frowned - leaving their homes was heartfelt sad but the cause was evil unrest, so they marched on, no tears for the past but with hopes of a new life, a new place and still the memories of the death they upheld.
The night was rather peaceful way over the capital, the Palace seemed lively for once, the guests were a bunch. Lucy, Sako, Pay and Szlick had their beauty slumber, Lu stood up in the high roof staring at the lights, "That light will turn itself off one day, like every one does in time, man! that old man.." his eyes looked teary for once "...don't you die yet old whitey, I haven't thank you yet" he said and stared now at the clouded sky, "I will find youu - !" he shouted, the nights a gift for - sleep- he didn't take into account. What's sleep to a null-man? only a simple boredom skill!. He stayed up all night alone but never he felt alone, he lived and spent all his time with beasts and cold nights since -born-. ''Hmmm! those moves!" he said, thinking about his fights, 'first the katana man and now that guy, I need to learn how to fight!". He laid on his back atop the middle of the roof, 'Old man, Szlick, Lucy and Sako' he thought about them all, 'Is this friendship?' he asked himself then remembered Lucy's blushed, "meh!!!"...'women are liars boy! caress them but don't fall for them, just follow one thing my boy, have fun in everything you do, the old man said' he thought and directs his mind on Sako, "Sexy!" he remarked, a sudden bulge on his pants. 'Fun inc. the first of it's kind' he remembered what Dekadora had said.
"Your fucking majesty!" he imitated himself, he laughed - a short one, "look what I did old man?" eyes still fixed on the cloudy sky, "You remind me of two guys" he said, with another teary eyes.
Peaceful and serene the palace's theme, the King called the bunch. Lu, Szlick and the rest stood before the throne awaiting the King's council.
"So you'll be our manager?" asked Szlick.
"Yup! His majesty said so!" answered Lucy with - cutest of smiles.
"Why?" asked Lu, irritating Lucy.
"Because kid's are in need of constant watching" replied Lucy sticking her tongue out.
"What about you?" Lucy asked Sako but quickly Lu replied, "She's mine for all time, right babe?" he said, slapping her lightly in the tushy.
With a seductive moan Sako replied, "Ye-yes m-master!?" her face bright red but so was Lucy but hers was of an unknown feeling to her - . Jealously Szlick noticed.
"FINE!! She's Your Wife!" she blurted aloud, her mind was on - off - again. Her shout just now paused them all and, "Eh?!" she exclaimed, blinking fierce and fast she stared away and stood frozen in place.
Sako felt proud and glad that she won their first war, for Lu did slapped hers first and 'babe' he called me she thought, knowing her rival now in utter jealousy, her expression read proud, she now stood high and with pride looking down on the first war's loser, in quotes her seductive, lustful facial expression said 'That just happened bitch.'
Lucy thought, 'does he hate me? or am I not seductive enough', then again her mind ran a series of marathons, 'should I throw myself in his arms but would that be true love?, should I just treat him with kindness and hope he'll confess someday?, or should I just roped him up and force him to confess?, I know he liked my looks that time in the bar he was hitting on me right?'.
her cute questions brought to an end, the King and his ministers came forth.
"With serious debates on the guild and it's to be members, we the council agreed to Colonel Mustang's proposal, but it should be in your up most concern that the crown is the head of you all!" declared the King, which erupted - Fun inc.- with a wild joyful cheer, "A high paying job!" said Lucy, feeling butterflies all around.
"Not kicked outta town!" danced Szlick with his most jubilant "Woooooo~~~".
Sako simply stood - inside she too cheered, for her deepest most wanted wish was now to be with her master and that seemed accomplished.
Lu without a word simply walked up to the King, he bowed to each's surprise and said, " teach me the thing!".
"The thing?" the ministers questioned but the King smiled and said, "Very well, boy! come here after a while".
Ahu now present stared at the kids - cheering and dancing, his eyes wrote fear and shame and looked away immediately.
" What's wrong Anu?" the King asked.
"Nothing Sire! If I may, I'd like to close this eyes for a minute" Ahu requested a slight rest which the King nodded yes.
He sits in the first chair he finds and closes his eyes, visuals of him younger in the edge of a crumbling cliff, he held out his hand to another boy but the boy slid down with the cliff.
Tears escapes from Ahu's eyes, with a teary, shaky and a mucus tempered voice he said, "You're alive!!", "Oh! Thank God! You're alive!".
