Inside the Namuh Tavern, Hazeki told Kiera everything about Dystopia while drinking beer and how they will make Dystopia a world with peace..
"So you're saying that if we kill all the demons, peace could happen?" Kiera asked Hazeki.
"Yes, and my father has been training us for years to accomplish that mission. I know it may seem hard but I think you will also need training to fight." Hazeki said.
Kiera grabs Hazeki's hands and look at him. "Haze, please, teach me how to fight, I want to end this nightmare." Kiera said.
Hazeki flustered and lost himself in Kiera's eyes.
"Haze? Hazeki!" Kiera said when she noticed Hazeki staring at her.
"O-of course. We can start tomorrow." Hazeki said.
"Thank you." Kiera said.
Many footsteps approach Hazeki and Kiera and when they look up they saw the general.
"Father, what brings you here?" Hazeki asked.
"Levin and I talked about Kiera having a training for our next mission. I think it would be best if more of us humans could fight the demons." The general said.
"I also said that to Kiera and tomorrow we will start our trai-" Hazeki was about to tell his father but the general cut him off.
"That's why I put Kiera in hands of Levin. Levin, you can train Kiera right?" The general asked Levin.
Levin looked at Hazeki and saw that he was disappointed of not letting him handle Kiera.
"Yes sir." Levin respond.
"So it's settle then. Kiera, you and Levin will start tomorrow. Also tell everyone about our Plan will be announce tomorrow for the next mission." The general said.
"Yes sir!" The warriors agreed.
The people prepare themselves and leave the tavern. Kiera stood up and approach Levin but Hazeki is still there looking at them.
"Levin right?" Kiera asked and smile at Levin.
Levin nod.
"I'm Kiera, I'm looking forward for the training tomorrow." Kiera said and offered a handshake.
Levin shakes Kiera's hand. "I don't like late trainees. Be there on time." Levin said and leave.
"Okay..wait...where?" Kiera asked.
Hazeki looked at Kiera and said "The training place is behind this Tavern, we call it the The Place, don't worry."
"Oh thank you Haze." Kiera said. "Um..Haze, I know you really want to help me for training but your father put me under Levin so I'm sorry for that. Kiera said looking downward.
"It's okay Kiera, you just need to focus on your training now." Hazeki said. "It's late, you should get some sleep."
"Y-yes, you too. Thank you... Haze." Kiera said.
"Kiera..Kiera..come here.." A woman's voice call out to Kiera.
Lost in the woods, Kiera followed the voice and she saw a figure of a woman that is very familiar to her.
"Who are you?" Kiera asked.
"Kiera.." The woman's voice slightly changed. "SAVE ME." The woman's voice became deep and evil.
"AAAAH!" Kiera woke up in a bad dream and found herself inside her room in the tavern.
"This world is enough as a nightmare..why do I have a bad dream?" Kiera said talking to herself.
Kiera stood up and prepares herself for her training. Kiera was facing the mirror when she thinks about the things that happened to her. Kiera grabbed a scissors and cut her long jet black hair into a short one.
"I'm not gonna let this world drag me down." Kiera said looking at herself.
*CREAK* The door of Kiera's room opened and when Kiera went out of her room she saw Hazeki with a food in him. Hazeki was amazed how gorgeous Kiera was with a short hair.
"Haze?" Kiera said.
"Woah Kiera..you look different." Hazeki said while lost in Kiera's beauty.
"Oh yeah I cut my hair, it's in the way if I train with long hair." Kiera said.
"You're beautiful.." Hazeki said.
"I- I know right! You don't have to tell me!" Kiera said while blushing and grabs the food from Hazeki.
"See you later." Kiera said leaving Hazeki behind staring at her.
"Where is she? She's late." Moga said.
"Why are you even here? This training is for Kiera only." Levin said.
"Can't I watch Kiera?" Moga said with excitement.
Levin turned his back at Moga and wait for Kiera. After a few minutes Kiera came.
"Sorry for making you wait!" Kiera rushes to Levin and Moga. When they saw Kiera, both of them were drawn by Kiera's beauty.
"Levin?" Kiera said waving at Levin's face.
"Uh. Y-You're late..." Levin stuttered.
"I'm sorry, I cut my hair so it could not ruin my training." Kiera explained.
"Alright, I'll let you off this time." Levin said.
"You look amazing Kiera." Moga said with a look of drooling dog.
"Oi Moga, why are you still here?" Levin said.
"I'm here for the training." Moga said ignoring Levin's face and stares at Kiera.
"Heeeeey! Am I too late?" Hazeki rushes to them.
"Haze? Are you also here for training?" Kiera asked.
Hazeki looked at Moga and Levin. Levin was staring at them deadly.
"Y-Yup. Hahahaha" Hazeki said.
"Shall we start now?" Kiera asked.
"Come with me." Levin said.
Kiera followed Levin to the other side of The Place and saw a table with different types of weapon like sword, bow, pole arm and claymore.
"Choose your weapon." Levin said.
"Um.." Kiera picks the bow with a red and gold color and showed it to Levin.
"You want that?" Levin asked.
"Yeah, I think this is the easiest one to learn with." Kiera said.
"You really want to fight that badly huh?" Levin said.
"Um..uh.." Kiera stuttered shyly.
"Haha.." Levin chuckles and looked at Kiera.
"Don't be shy, choose whatever you want." Levin said smiling at Kiera.
"O-Okay!" Kiera shouted and bowed at Levin.
While the two were talking, Moga and Hazeki were eavesdropping about what they were talking about.
"Did you see that Haze?" Moga said poking Hazeki.
"Yeah..he just smiled." Hazeki said staring at Levin.
The training started and as Kiera practices her bow and arrow, Hazeki and Moga are moving barrels from outside to inside of the Tavern.
"Ugh..Levin why are you doing this?" Moga asked.
"You want to train as well, right?" Levin said.
"You meanie.." Moga said with sad face.
Levin looked at Hazeki and saw him already finished in his training and walks toward Kiera.
"Here!" Hazeki said passing a bottle of water to Kiera.
"Oh, thanks Haze." Kiera put her bow at the table and drank the water.
"So, you chose a bow?" Hazeki asked.
"Yes..I've always wanted to learn archery." Kiera said smiling while closing the water bottle.
Hazeki hold Kiera's hands. "You can do it." Kiera was shocked and looked at Hazeki. Hazeki left Kiera to help Moga.
Kiera blushes and saw Levin looking at her. "Huh?" Kiera said. "Is he mad?"
Levin signals to Kiera that the training was over.
"O-Okay!" Kiera respond loudly to Levin.
*THUMPS!* The General slams his hands on the table and showed everyone the map.
"Alright everyone, listen! This map shows where we can find the adventurer that once fought the gatekeeper.
The only thing we need to do is find this man." The general said.
Kiera and the others were listening and other warriors were rejoicing because of the success of finding the map.
"So this is it?" Tamaia said appearing next to Kiera.
"What's the gatekeeper?" Kiera asked.
"It is the demon that guards the gate to go back to our world." Amanda said while standing beside Kiera.
"You must be the new human." Amanda said.
"Umm...yes, I'm Kiera." Kiera said.
"Yes I know you, my brother's been training you, right?" Amanda said with strong personality.
"Oh, Levin is your brother?" Kiera asked.
"Yes dear." Amanda said.
"Nice to meet you uh?" Kiera said guessing Amanda's name.
"Amanda" Amanda said tapping Kiera's shoulder.
"Nice to meet you Amanda." Kiera said.
While planning on the next mission, a warrior barged in the tavern looking horrible.
"Sir! Sir! DEMONS!! DEMONS ARE ATTACKING RIVA TOWN!" The warrior shouted.
"Everyone prepare for battle!!" The general said.
Everyone went outside the tavern. As Kiera walks out of the tavern she saw each house of the town were burning, many people were dead. Kiera heard a voice of a child shouting for help and when she saw the child she immediately run to her and save her.
"Don't worry, I got you okay? Let's get you out of here." Kiera said carrying the child.
The general told the warriors to evacuate immediately.
Many demons with a shadow form were killed but there is still a demon that is superior from others. This demon was chasing Kiera and the child, Hazeki saw Kiera and the child and try to stop the demon. The demon was so strong that it could kill Hazeki in any minute. Levin run towards Hazeki and helped him. Levin bruised the demon and had their time to run from it but it is still alive and causes more trouble. The strong demon changed it's form from shadow to a human like form that has black skin, long fingers, sharp nails, and burning eyes.
While Kiera and the others were running the child fell to the ground and Kiera got nervous and threw the kid to Hazeki to help her.
"Hazeki!" Kiera threw the child to Hazeki and stood up.
"Kiera! Let's go!" Hazeki shouted and climbed up to the horse.
When Kiera was about to run her body froze and couldn't speak. When she was turned to face the demon she can see that the demon was holding and stopping her from moving and is about to kill her but a sword slashes the demon and made Kiera move again. Kiera saw the general saved her from being killed.
"Run! Now!" The general said to Kiera while holding the demon.
"B-But..." Kiera said while tears fell from her eyes.
"GO!" The general said and pushed Kiera to Levin.
"Kiera let's go!" Levin pulled Kiera and hop her to Levin's Horse.
Levin climbed up to the horse and starts to command it, while escaping, Kiera saw how the Demon killed the general with just a slash of it's hands. Kiera cried so hard closing her eyes as she rest her face to the horse. Levin saw how sad Kiera was but when he saw Hazeki riding the other horse with the child, unaware of his Father's death, made Levin cry.
