Chapter 11 - brothers reunite

This is the starting of the end. The war has already begun, who shall wave the flag of victory an who shall fall an never see the face of light again, it all begins now.

The fight for the kingdom had begun, but Kluas had another trial to face, " Where am i" Kluas asked as the lights slowly dimmed in, " he is finally waking up" a voice in the distance, " oh he is" the other said.

" well it's about time" the other voice added.

Kluas felt as if he had heard these voices before when finally his vision kicked in, " oh god, not you guys".

" You small fry, it's time for another eldor, since you tried to access the powers and called upon the my jugas, but before you can get to access to oh so great powers of a god, you must complete this task set by the equinox himself, so get ready it's time for the trip." Cal lium said.

"As he said child you have another eldor to face, and you know the rules if you can't complete it within the designated time frame, you'll die, and trust me haven is not what you think it is." Mateous the god of fortune added.

"And now we shall proceed" verdillian added.

Kluas felt a strange sensation as his eyes sunk under the pressure added by the room and his body twisted into to forms he could not comprehend, after that he blocked up for a couple seconds. Then once again he awoken, " ugh, my head" shock struck him when he saw the place he had awoken too, " where the hell am I" he yelled, the the three gods appeared.

" This was once the world of men, before the apocalypse or as us gods refer to it , the great reset" verdillian said.

" This is what it looked like , amazing" Kluas said.

" Yes truly astonishing to see how far the human world advanced. Even us gods were a bit surprised, because let me tell you, the cavemen were the epitome of dumb, kid we use to just sit and laugh at the children of the first creation, the first humans to walk this earth, oh and the book you read about the early days of the world it got something wrong, men came from women. But back to the story we watched as equinox gave them complete dominaun of the world, which the monsters and demons were not happy with, that also lead to there banishment from the earthly realm, there are three realms, the first realm is were we stand the gods, which is known to you as haven then you have your world the earthly realm and the final is where the scum of the world were banished to, yeah hell. It was all fun until the humans thought they had enough of our leader ship, that's when they came across the tree forbidden trees, the tree of knowledge. The tree of life and the last the tree of power, I know, if they were suppose to be forbidden why would they still be on earth, that's because equinox loves games and he made a bet with Al-shaytan, the governor of the underworld, the bet was that the humans would always stay faithful to us god, which the Al-shaytan bet against and said they would eat the fruit, which he was right. The first humans who ate from the medrukillas, yes your family was the first, damn. I know right. After that equinox placed taboo so that they couldn't access all three divine fruits and use there power at once, and that lead to the great war, between humans and gods and the monster also formed an allegiance with the gods back then, I want lie the humans put up one hell of a fight wiping out the royal guards monsters all together, if the true gods hadn't stepped in the lost would have been detrimental. After we put them under submission they went and started another battle with the monsters and made them there eternal enemy's, but we has swore not to intervene with the problems of the below world, but we had to break that, and blah blah blah blah, which lead us to this world we see now. A lot happened" verdillian was interrupted by cal lium. " How about you give someone else a try you've been talking for how long, my turn."

"Ok go ahead" verdillian said

" Great now this is the 24th century when the human race hit the pinnacle of there technology and evolution had come to a stand still. But you humans had on path that you hadn't ventured in yet, monsters. They started to gather information on different specimens and unfortunately for all of you the first monster you came across was druminual. After that everything went sideways, the second great war came to fruition. And now the humans cast there pride aside and asked for our help, we help and have them the mysterious power which is now in your position the jugas. Ironicly the person that asked for our help was a medrukilla, so there the only ones capable of wielding this power, the first ever John medrukilla use the power to cast druminual put of the earthly realm and confined him back in his own world the others use this power for good as well, and now back you you and what your suppose to do. You have to prove your worth before you can truly use this power. Show us your worth by passing the sequence of test that we have set in place. Now shall we begin" cal lium had finished telling Kluas about the last and now the trials were about to begin.

"So this test, what will it be about?" Kluas asked

" You'll see in a moment" mateous answered. In a flash the terrain around them had change and Kluas thought it was familiar. He asked once again, " where is this?"

" let the trials begin." Cal lium said. Kluas had suddenly feel to the floor.

When he awoken all his memories were sealed off and he was a child again.

" hey Kluas, let's go we have to go to training." Kimuah said

" I'm coming brother, I'll be out in a few." Kluas had answered.

As Kluas left the room his brother kimuah had shoved him to the floor and said , " trash like yourself don't belong in a place like this, you better make your self transparent so father doesn't see garbage like you around."

" Ok brother I'll try to make myself as vacant as possible."

Kimuah never liked Kluas because he was more favoured for the crown, and to sway the odds in his favour he picked on his younger brother to discourage him.

" Now get moving you pathetic sack of meat" kimuah said once again.

" I'm coming" he replied.

The place they where going to was the training ground, as the king offspirings it's expected that they be well adverse in combat.

" to the combat area you two, you are already acquainted with the rules, non lethal strikes and the first to reach the floor loses, begin" one of the royal guards commanded .

The two brothers had already put on there combatant suits, and the fight had begun. Kimuah was the first to stoke sending his brother back, the first strike was almost enough to send a grown man flying but Kluas had stood his ground, kimuah started with a barrage of attacks which had Kluas on the defensive.

" czar, kimuah has some talent" one of the high tier commanders had said.

" mhm" the king had responded.

Kluas was still on the defensive while his brother kept hitting and hitting until Kluas finally had enough, he kicked his brother in the stomach, as his brother staggered back to get balance, Kluas already behind him, kimuah made a fail attempted after he had tried to block kluas's second attack, he hit the wall and Kluas didn't let up he used his sword to keep kimuah on the defensive, but kimuah wasn't gonna back down either. Kimuah scraped up the dirt off the ground and flung it right at Kluas , he managed to guard his eyes, but as he reopened them his brother was out of his field of vision then the sword had hit him in his back, Kluas quickly swung his sword and turned around on block the second attack, Kluas took a step forward and hit kimuah in the knee and he went down on one knee, Kluas flashed over his brother and his sword was on his, he had the win in the bag, but he saw his brother looking at the king and the memories replayed in his head, " trash like you don't deserve to be here" he let his guard down intentionally and kimuah struck him down.

The winner, kimuah. The king got out of his seat and went down to the combat area. " not bad Kluas not bad at all, you almost won my boy, if you continue like this you might even get better than your old man, good job," the looked back at kimuah and said, " you are truly worthless, your you get brother was giving you a hard time" and walked away.

Kimuah looked at Kluas fully enraged and Kluas knew what was about to happen, they both left the combat area. After the king was put of view kimuah started his battering, " I told you didn't I, why can't you understand, stay away from my crown, I'll be the one who shall inherit it, not you me, ok"

Kluas held his head down and went on with his day. Kluas's days were fill with unending torment from his brother to keep him in check, but Kluas had already decided he would make his brother the new king.

9 years have now pass, the king is expected to pass on his throne now, an old frail man left with the decision to choose between his two sons, but he had already made up his mind, kimuah was getting ready for the crowning, while Kluas was off still on his conquest today was the day that he would have returned.

" Father, have you not notice, Kluas has not returned, what if something had happen to him."

" That boy wouldn't die so easily, unlike you." The king looked back on kimuah.

The coronation was about to begin and Kluas was yet to arrive.

" Let the ceremony begi-" he was interrupted by a gust of wind, everyone looked back to see who was coming and they saw Kluas holding a child in his arms and a woman next to his side, Kluas then yelled, " Father ready the troops they're here" and without second thought the troops were deployed.

" what happened son, who is this woman and child you hold?" his father had asked.

" they are the last survivors, and I've been traveling with them for four years trying to escape the clutches of that mad maniac known as baula the destroyer, I was tired of running so I came here to make our last stand." Kluas had answered

" i see, we've been meaning to handle those pest for a long time, the golden opportunity has arrived. Go and prepare yourself for battle" the king turned around to address his men, " Yet another enemy has arisen, we shall cut them down for the glory of your new king, Kluas medrukilla, all hail the king."

"All hail the king" they all followed.

The hostility left in his brothers eyes could kill a man with a single look, everyone rushed to the battle field to assist in the battle, but the enemy's forces kept increasing, the king guards couldn't hold them off. All of the kings were troops were slaughtered, the only ones reminding were the king, Kluas and the the two persons he was protecting and kimuah.

" your will has been carried out my liege" one of the enemy's said.

" splendid job" kimuah answered.

The king looked up at Kluas and said, " How could you, you betrayed your own blood"

" if he had just died as I intended, we wouldn't be in this mess."

" brother, what are you saying?" Kluas said.

" i know your not stupid, I'm the one who sent those men to kill you and wipe out any one or anywhere you came in contact with, I'm also the one who suggested this trip for you to prove yourself. All o wanted was to be the king, but you, you wouldnt let me could you"

" That is what you were after, all this just for that stupid crown, I never wanted it, just let us go" Kluas grab the girl and her mother.

" let you go, no no, how about a little game"

" i will not stand for this" the had said.

" Shut up" he hit the king in his face, " I never asked for any input from you." He turned back and looked at his brother, " How about it"

" i don't have a choice do i, let's get this over with."

" no, you never had a choice, now you have three lives in your hand, you have two options you either kill father or you kill that woman and her child, fair isn't it"

" You bastard, how could you do this, stop this at once." The king said again.

" old man shut up, I'll kill you right now. So who will it be."

Kluas looked at everyone in the room, he saw how the kids mother was holding her child and trembling, his father with no hint of fear on his body, then his father said, " son, choose me, I've live long enough, give her a chance."

" but I can't just let you die father."

" just do as i ask Kluas, I'll be fine"

The choice became clear to him, he knew what he had to do, " take my life and leave everyone else, please I beg of you."

Kimuah let out a big sigh, " your playing the hero, ok I shall grant your wish." He then took his sword and ran it trough his father, " I told you to choose, now I'll make the decision for you." Kluas was left speechless with tears coming out of his eyes. Kluas then order his men to kill the mother and have there way with the girl, they did both and all Kluas could do was watch, " do you hate me noe brother, you must" kimuah asked.

" No I don't hate you, I feel sorry for you brother, you'll die a horrible dea-"

His brother ran his sword trough him as well. " You talk too much" kimuah said.

Kluas fell to his knees, and his body made a loud thud on the floor. His eyse slowly shutting, he heard his brothers voice once more, " you were a fool and fools die." His eyes finally shut.

" hey buddy wake up" cal lium was slapping kluas's face, " hey I said wake up.." Kluas quickly jump up screaming at the highest pitch of his voice, ' holy shit, I think we went a little over board with that test, look at him, he's broken now."

" Oh, your right he does look broken." Verdillian said.

Kluas finally came to and asked, " what the hell was that!?"

" That was the test, and you passed." Cal lium answered.

" A test, you put me through all that just to prove that I was worthy."

" Yeah, i don't see what the problem is, great power has a price as well, and these or just some of the prices you have to pay. Now it's time for you to return back to your battle, you now have Accra to the jugas."

" Wait!!" Kluas yelled.

" And remember not to go overboard, you might lose yourself.

The world was going back to normal, Kluas was still unconscious and josel was attacking. His friends, akena, minus, Christian, chronos and, camiliam were protecting him, josel defeated each one at time, until he finally brought down the final one. He then walked over to kluas's body to deliver the final blow, he lifted his sword in the air, both hands on the handle. He begins to bring his hands down, when Kluas's body lit up and sent josel flying.

" look who finally awakes, put too bad your going to die." Josel said. Kluas looked at him with no answer, he then raised his hand in the air as he was waiting for somethimg. The thunder roared, the clouds clustered above kluas's position. The started to rumble and finally a loud explosion with a big shockwave happened. Josel was blinded by the dirt left in the air. He squished his eyes together in hopes of seeing what had happened. His eyes finally focused and what he saw was Kluas holding the Devine blade. Kluas slashed the air, his brother was left confused, but then he was hit with the shockwave from the slash, Kluas sis a barrage of these attacks until josel was on the ground.

" don't get back u-" Kluas lost balance and went to the floor. Josel then got back up and dashed over to Kluas to finally kill him, that's when a black dragon came rushing down to his rescue, he picked up the body of Klaus and flew off, everyone else was left behind, in the end, kluas's side were the ones who lost the battle.
