Chereads / The Journey Of The Immortal King / Chapter 5 - A Reunion

Chapter 5 - A Reunion

Kazama in his human form entered the north gate and the guard didn't even pay him any attention which makes kazama say

"it's like they just look out for monsters and every human is good so they are not even looking and checking humans".

When kazama stepped inside the border through the gate, first impression of kazama was "it's huge and beautiful", he was stunned by the beauty of the kingdom. Next we see that the camera view changes to first person angle of view and we saw what kazama were seeing. The birds are flying freely in the sky, people are roaming in the streets, buying stuffs and everyone is occupied in their respected work.

The view of houses is also beautiful, we saw that there are different types of houses which when seen from the angle of view of kazama were looking beautiful. Kazama spaced out watching all this but he soon came back into senses and started walking straight.

After seeing many different kinds of shops, one person got his attention, it was Arthur, kazama's first friend. As Arthur already told kazama about his shop, kazama was on the road and the shop is just a few steps ahead and Arthur was selling fruits.

Kazama went ahead and said to Arthur "how are you ? We met again". Arthur obviously didn't recognised him and asked for his name, when kazama says "oh sorry, I am kazama, we once met in the forest. Do you remember ?". Ofcourse Arthur would never forget the person who saved his life but since kazama came infront of Arthur in a human body Arthur hesitated and said "sorry I don't know you" and thought "it might be a trap because kazama was a monster and how can he be a human now".

Kazama was disappointed but since no one was near the shop he says "did you forget that you ran into monsters while coming here" but this time Arthur was assured that only kazama knows that so Arthur grabbed kazama and dragged him inside the shop then he open the curtains and closed his shop temporarily.

Arthur asked kazama "are you really kazama? How are you now a human and how did you enter the kingdom ?". Kazama tried to calm him down and then answered "it's a long story but don't worry i am that kazama and for some reason I was turned into human". This makes Arthur calmed down a bit. Kazama didn't say truth as it will make Arthur confuse.

Arthur asked kazama "let's go to my house", kazama says "thanks but I don't know anything about this kingdom so if you can give me a tour, it would be good but if you are busy then I am fine" Arthur laughed and says "what? If I am busy? I am always free for you my friend". So they both started walking while Arthur gives kazama all the information about everything they encounter or they see.

Arthur explained everything to kazama that this kingdom is very rich and as we already know that the king of this kingdom hates monsters and king's name is James fal 'en crows besta 3. His family lives in the royal palace at the bottom of the kingdom and he never or very very rarely comes out of his palace. This kingdom has many cities or many towns. The name of their current place is shried city or shried town.

While they both were talking, kazama was bumped into a child. The child fall onto the ground, kazama said "oh sorry I didn't see you" and while tending to him he says "are you hurt?". Actually the child was carrying a bag and it fell off, so kazama picked it up and handed it over to him. Arthur also says "kazama, you need to be carefull" but they both didn't see onething.

When the boy stood up he plainly thanked kazama and started walking but then kazama saw the chain which was binding the child from his freedom. He was a slave. Kazama's face turned pale and he asked Arthur about it, Arthur replied "slave trade is common in this kingdom, that boy was also a slave. You can buy or sell anyone. But almost every time it is the innocent ones who got turned into slaves for various purposes". Kazama got angry and asked Arthur "which type of kingdom is this? How can it be possible?" Arthur replied that "slave trading is being permitted since ancient age, and the new king has also permitted it". Kazama was angry but he knows that it is yet not his place to confront such laws as he is still not powerful enough.

After watching the chains on that kid kazama encountered many slaves and he saw the dark system when he and Arthur were walking in the kingdom and they saw that there's a huge crowd infront of them blocking the way. They went near the crowd and saw that an old man is lying on the ground and a soldier of the kingdom is beating that old man while the crowd made a circle and was taking pity on the old man and was saying "how bad, if that old man hadn't been bumped into that soldier". Some were saying "it's soldiers fault but what can we do, I hope that old man soon die so that he don't suffer". Kazama tried to step further but the last hit from the soldier made old man die there on the spot and then soldier says "those who will not follow the orders of the king, they will also end in the same way". Kazama wanted to beat that soldier but Arthur grabbed his hand and after that soldier went and the crowd also started moving Arthur left kazama's hand.

Kazama was standing there seeing that "although that old man has died, no one is coming to see him. Everyone is ignoring that old man". Arthur says "it's now like everyday story, people who don't listen to the orders or people who don't have any money are either turned into slaves or die like this".

Kazama sat near the old man and the eyes of old man was open so he closed them by his hand. After that kazama and Arthur both took that old man near cemetery and buried him. Kazama is praying for that old man standing infront of his grave, while tears fell down from kazama's eyes. Kazama has made up his mind to make this kingdom a better place or to be that strong so no one can harm his dear ones.

After all of these things Arthur suggest "let's go to my house". Kazama took Arthur up on his suggestion. Arthur and kazama walks to Arthur's house, Arthur's house was not far from where they were recently. When they both reached there kazama saw that Arthur has a medium sized house with 2 floors. It is evening when they reach there and in the light of the sun which is soon going to set, the house is looking beautiful. On both sides of Arthur's house there are another people's house and they all are same size as of Arthur's.

When Arthur opened the door and says "I am home", his son and daughter came running to him and wished both of them. Arthur pat both of them and kazama watches this adorable site that a father has returned home and his children were waiting for him. Kazama closed the door. Arthur introduced them and then Arthur's wife came and greets kazama. Kazama greets them in return and they all went in the living room.

When they are seated in the living room Arthur told kazama "this is my family, my son's name is Rem, my daughter's is Lily and my wife's is Nema". Kazama says "your family is good, I hope you enjoy every moment with them". Rem is 6 years old and Lily is 4 years old.Kazama's mood which was tense since his encounter with the soldier beating old man is now more lighter.

Arthur says to his family by shouting a bit so his voice can reach them "bring dinner". Now Arthur asks kazama about his plan for future in the kingdom. Kazama says "since I have no job first I'll try to get a job and earn money and then I'll see everything later". Arthur says "sounds wise". And while they were talking Arthur invites kazama to eat dinner with them and Arthur says "since you saved my life, let me do this atleast". Kazama agrees to eat with them.

Rem and Lily enters the room and sits on the chairs. Arthur and kazama were also sitting on the dining table and the food has been served and the only thing which is left is to eat it. Nema also enters and sat near Arthur. Everyone starts eating and after tasting the first piece of the dish kazama praises Nema by saying "you made such a good food, it's tasty". Rem and Lily both says in the same tone and at the same time "it's tasty,isn't it?". And they all continue eating the food.

After they finish eating the food, Arthur and kazama sat and talked with each other and while talking Arthur asks kazama "where are you gonna spend the night?". Kazama replied that he will go back to the forest and will find a place there but Arthur insisted that kazama should spend the night at their house only and after some resistance kazama agreed and says "ok but it's just for one night okay?". Arthur replied "oh c'mon first spend a night and then we'll see that". Before going to bed kazama also got to know somethings, that is, there are guilds in all over the kingdom where adventures hunt monsters and do all kinds of jobs to get paid in return. Guild has caught the attention of kazama.

Kazama's sleeping room would be the room on first floor of the house. Soon after talking with Arthur all kinds of things he went to sleep by greeting the whole family.
