Sunlight fell through the windows, landing upon Yuna. The light warmth stumbled her from her sleep. She awoke to find the ground where she embraced Won empty. She looked to the side and saw Won.
Won's hair flowed down his back and his robe fluttered as wind lightly nudged it front and back.
Won turned around with a big smile, "You're awake."
Yuna smiled, "I'm awake. So what will you do?"
Won looked at the horizon, clicking his tongue he said, "I'll do... what I want. If I want to protect someone, if I want to kill someone, if I want something, even if it's hypocritical, even if it's wrong and naive or dumb. I don't care for I am the one who desires."
Yuna stood up and hugged Won from behind, "Not that what will you really do. What you just said is a complex way of saying what I said yesterday."
Won laughed, "Well I'll strive to create a world within my reach where the things I wish come to fruition. I'll make a sky for my people and I shall never become a monster who misuses his power. I shall desire everything, but I shall mind myself in an appropriate fashion that suits the class of being a powerful person."
Yuna kissed Won on the cheek, "Good. Then go and do it. I look forward to the world you make."
Won gazed deeply and lovingly at her, "Did I win or did you?"
Yuna bit her lip as she smiled and said, "We both win."
"Meaning?"
Yuna laughed as she walked away, "We're both tied to each other forever. We both give our all for the other."
Won smirked, "You're really my type!"
...
Won looked at Ozaris and said, "Cancel the orders I gave yesterday, and... thank you Ozaris."
Ozaris bowed, "Of course Master. I shall do my best to fulfill your commands."
Won nodded, "Well I'll ask you to handle Kaito appropriately, make sure you can convince the people."
Ozaris nodded.
Won gazed outside and said, "Actually I'll do it. Hm. Also send a letter to the Emperor to arrive he should also be present."
Ozaris questioned, "Master rather than negotiating with those of Suzaku what if we were to to force them."
Won asked, "You're worried because if they are willing to use that insane medicine to fight, most of the citizens are probably fanatics who won't give up even at gunpoint?"
Ozaris nodded.
Won said, "I have a better option. Did you know only 30% of the total population of Suzaku are in the military, with 60% being Alchemists and the rest being common people."
Won continued, "Alchemists are a proud breed, they wouldn't use this kind of medicine on themselves, and so if we coerce the other Empires to snatch up the Alchemists we can easily dwindle down Suzaku's power. Furthermore although Suzaku's citizens are rather patriotic, most of them are not optimistic about their situation and their government? With a numerous of their citizens being addicts due to the high availability of narcotics, and with the Royalties brash and crass attitude, the citizens although Loyal are rather discomforted by Suzaku. Firstly I doubt the common people actually know about the potential drug killing them. Secondly if we could promise them a rectification of their Empire and also semi independence by being an Empire under us, I think the general public would acknowledgement it. Of course we need to make their situation horrible first. So start spreading rumors and forcing Suzaku to remove some of the benefits Alchemists normally get, most importantly make the Alchemists forced to become part of the Army. Then use the evidence we've gathered of the Empires that attacked us and use it to force them to accept Suzaku's Alchemists. Of course only the bad ones, make sure those with potential think they have a place with us."
Ozaris chuckled softly, "Of course Master."
Won asked, "What's funny?"
Ozaris said, "You are back to your cunning way, rather than your brutal and barbaric ways from before."
Won lounged on his chair and said, "Ai, if you have time to comment on me why don't you hurry up and conquer Suzaku! You win a war and then talk!"
Ozaris held his hand to his mouth and chuckled, "Well I'll try to match masters expectations."
Won snorted, "That cheeky fellow. Hehe."
...
Won was walking down a lonely street with Yuna by his side.
Won asked, "How should I propose to you?"
Yuna said, "Why are you asking me? Shouldn't you surprise me?"
Won tilted his head and said, "Well rather than surprise you I'd like to comfort you."
Yuna stopped and stood in front of Won and asked, "Will you do anything I ask?"
Won nodded, "Hm."
Yuna touched her chin and then said, "Then say you love me, that's enough. You've already been mine since the beginning and I've already been your's since then. Any shows of affection are simply for others to know that the other is mine."
Won laughed, "Well then I love you Yuna! I really really love you!"
Yuna clicked her tongue, "How sweet... How cliche, how gross!"
Won stared wide eyed at Yuna.
Yuna walked closer to Won and kissed him. She smirked and said,
"But well I like it."
Won smiled and pulled her in for a kiss.
...
Won faced the horizon at a mountain top. He sat at the top and poured some tea to a table he had filled with all sorts of snacks.
Won said to the sky, "Master you said a weak heart could never do anything, at the time I misunderstood what that meant. But now I think I know."
Won whispered, "A strong heart to bare the losses, a strong heart to bare the joy, a strong heart to make decisions. I tip toed and doubted many things and I probably lived wrong, but now I think I understand... If only a little tiny bit, I think I understand the truth to desire."
Won chugged the tea and said, "I'll work hard!"
Won smiled toothily.
...
A battlefield a place where blood spilt like rain water, where the Heavens would darken and the Earth would be eternally scarred. A terrible and horrible thing, done by terrible and horrible people for their terrible and horrible reasons. Throughout all of time War has been a constant and it's need had been greatly contested, but never could a man ever call a war good.
No matter who started it or why someone did the atrocious things they did, they would never be recognized.
Even though war at times was considered a needful expenditure of human life, it was never forgiven or accepted. It simply existed as a necessity
Yet even though was hated and despised, wars continued on and on.
And even right now waves of Humans clashed against one another. The split ferocity causing endless life to be severed.
Red eyed humans born again in blood shed fought, as the deafening crackles of Cannonballs being shot flying through the air and shattering earth filled the battlefield.
Deep in the middle of the battlefield, wrapped in blood a demon fought.
His eyes had a deep glow to them and his pinkish white hair flew around.
He ducked down as a spear passed by his back leaving a thin mark across his jade like skin, he pushed forward and impaled the stomach of another solider and caught another's neck with his hand and shattered it. He jumped up and his hand turned purple.
Thin finger shadows drifted through the battlefield taking endless life.
The man exclaimed loudly, his voice like the strum of thunder, "My people we have nearly won this war! Keep fighting!"
"All hail Ito! All hail the Lord! All hail Ito and it's victory! All hail Won!"
Chants like explosions shot up.
Won nodded and turned into a shadow killing.
He pushed up and used {God Aim} and {1,000,000 Golden Buddha palms}.
A golden glow filled the darkened skies and a rain of gold fell.
[Ding... Congratulations on leveling up from: Lvl 34 > Lvl 35!]
Suddenly from the horizon a whistling sound exploded.
Won turned his head and suddenly... Boom!
A violent heat flooded down to the battlefield, everyone's looked upwards as a ball of flames filled the skies like a second sun.
"Lord Won!!!!!!" All the soldiers of Ito exclaiming!
As the sparks fell one could see a deep gold remain.
A small Buddha Body appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Half the Buddha body had shattered and there were ferocious burns apparent on Won's skin.
Won snarled, "Bastards."
[Ding... Skill {Explosion resistance} has leveled up! Skill {Heat resistance} has leveled up.]
Won clasped his hands together and the golden Buddha around his body rose to the sky.
The size of the Buddha was like a mountain, with its head above the clouds and its lotus leaves covering the sky like gigantic covers.
The Buddha moved it's fist forward, and the air stilled. The Qi all around began to tremble and become violent, even the Qi within Cultivators began to slow and become hard. With normal people feeling their chests tighten.
Won exclaimed in anger, "Wrathful Buddha punch!"
The Buddha's fist glowed in a deep red and the lotus below it turned into a fire lotus, a deep ruby color twisting and bending.
Silence...
Absolute silence from the bugs to the birds, even the hearts of those around quieted in fear. Silence reigned like an Inviolable God for countless Kilometers.
Then finally an explosion filled the world!
The ground didn't give away or crack, instead it simply dissapeared completely.
A deep red pit in a straight line for hundreds of Kilometers appeared.
Everyone gazed in fear and reverence at the one who slowly fell from the sky, his burnt and half destroyed robe fluttering in the wind slightly, his long hair flying and his sharp eyes passing over all of creation.
The sound of weapons falling to echoed throughout the battlefield. The thudding of knees hitting the ground.
A war had yet again passed.
