The Owner raised his hand horizontally and immediately shifted the space to a small yet never-ending plane of sand. While shifting, the Owner was met with a chain targeted at his forehead. The Owner quickly evaded and made distance but was abruptly stopped due to the ropes that bound him below.
The one holding a candle and book immediately released a wave of Magic Arrows from the book that was aimed at the Owner's torso. A large boom echoed in the small environment. After the dust was cleared, the Owner, who was bound by ropes immediately disappeared. "What the-" as soon as the one holding a candle and book looked behind, Its head was flying.
"One more to go..." The Owner excitingly said.
The one holding a chain and scales is in complete jeopardy and unleashed a barrage of needles filled to the brim with various poisons on what has been collected throughout its experience. The Owner inhaled deeply and let out a roar louder and more powerful than a lion's roar which completely halted all of the needles.
immediately after, the one holding a chain and scales immediately threw a smoke bomb hidden beneath its cloak and began to retrieve the body of its partner.
"Do you think I would let you go?" The Owner's Crimson Broadsword immediately began to shine even brighter and stronger. As soon as the light on his Crimson Broadsword began to violently spark, The Owner then calmly inhaled and stopped the Crimson Broadsword as soon as the blade reached the sky and released it all in one go.
"Cleave." With a Vertical Swoosh that was louder than any swing, the light of the Crimson Broadsword is gone, it took the form of a crescent moon and it quickly reaches the one holding a chain and scales. Instead of a Boom, it was a clang. As soon as the vision of the target was cleared, they were gone.
The Owner took a sit and sighed. "What a Rough Day."
...
Kash violently woke up from sleeping. His head is ringing, and his sense of touch is numb. he looks around and found out that he's in a wooden cottage lying on a bed. He checks the window to see where he is. As soon as he tries to get out of bed, he heard a creaking noise on the floor and halted his actions. Kash had a lot of doubts and assumptions about who could be behind the door. But as he slowly regains some of his senses, he concluded that the one who let him in their house is their savior.
"Thank you for saving my life. May I ask where are we?" Kash questioned. "You're in the middle of nowhere." a man said behind the door. Kash stood up and sat on the bed as the man slowly opened the door.
"Precisely, you're in the no man's land between 2 opposing kingdoms." The man said while carrying a pot of beef stew.
The Man is wearing a casual white t-shirt and black pants with a belt. The belt has 3 leather pouches attached to his left waist carrying all sorts of herbs. His body is well-toned as if he trained without rest for the entire year and yet still healthy and full of life. His face is very clean and his eyes are that of a green emerald. His hair is black and wavy. And he looks very tired.
The man tossed some clothes on Kash and said, "Clean yourself, you stink."
"Ah, ok." Kash grabbed the clothes and went to a nearby river to take a bath. While walking, his surroundings are full of Natural Life. Trees are standing firm and tall, the grass well-trimmed, and the path is clean. As if it's like a beautiful scenery and a tourist attraction.
Kash spotted the river and began to run toward it. He feels light and energetic. As he reached the river, Kash immediately began to unclothed himself and dived. The river is clean and free of moss, the rocks are as smooth as the leaves and the water is cold yet soothing. Kash felt so relieved to the point he felt like it remove all of his worries. While scrubbing his hair, he saw a glance at what he looked like;
He has a clear and innocent-like face, his eyes are dark blue, his body is slim yet sturdy as if he regressed to his prime age, and his hair is black and pointy.
"I look amazing," he said while smirking. After scrubbing his hair, a strong Wave came in and crashed through kash. Completely caught off-guard, Kash immediately resurfaces and took a deep breath. As soon as he looked to his left, a Log was flying straight at him.
"Oh, shi-" The Log took a turn and hit Kash's face immediately sending him flying out of the water. Like a bat hitting a still ball.
"what the fuck my face man!" Kash angrily screamed while his left cheek is bruised.
Kash wore the clothes and went home after that accident. After reaching the Wooden Cottage, Kash was about to open the door until...
"BOOM!"
A wave of black smoke escaped through the window and between the doors. "Hey!" Kash shouted. Kash went ahead and open the door to find out that the inner walls of the cottage had been painted black and the Man standing in the middle while holding an exploded spoon ladle.
"What happened here?" Kash asked.
"I made a mistake." the Man answered.
...
Sunset was approaching that time. The breeze feels cool as ice and the trees are waving. Kash and The Man sat near the campfire as they try to warm themselves up and cook some food, and a small conversation arose.
"Where did I come from and how did I get here?" Kash asked.
...
The Man replied, "I was doing my everyday routine until you fell out of the sky. Though I had some suspicions of a dude falling from the sky fully naked and surviving it, I just shook it off and carried your unconscious naked body to my house. Though I'm surprised that you had some clothes on the next day."
Kash tried to dodge such an embarrassing moment for him, he tried to sway the topic and asked, "What are the 2 opposing kingdoms named?"
The Man took a deep breath and said, " Right now at the West, there is the 'Kingdom of Phantasma' led by the People of the 'Umbra Concilium' — and to our East, we have the 'Kingdom of Sanctus' led by the '7 Hagios Ecclesia' " — "Alright, our meal is done cooking." The Man got up and picked one of the skewers filled with a variety of meat and vegetables. "Here, eat up. We have a long way ahead of us tomorrow." The Man said. Kash looked in awe as he stared at the delicious-looking Skewer, he immediately grabs the stick and took a big bite. "This is amazing!" Kash shouted. "Were you a cook before?" He asked. "Well, I had been a cook before. It's not that much to brag about haha." the Man happily said as kash devours the meat.
...
After the meal, The Man went to the wooden cottage to find some oil lamps to lighten up the area at night. "Hey, Wouldn't it be dangerous to leave them lying on the ground?" Kash presumed. "It's fine," The Man said. "It's used to keep the beasts away."
"I see..." Kash nodded.
After The Man had set up the oil lamps, he stood up and looks at Kash as if he is curious about something. As he tries to approach with the intent of asking his name, Kash asked, "Oh yeah, What is your name?" The Man is surprised to think that he had read his mind. The Man let a subtle smirk and replied, "The name is Rei."
"Rei, I will be in your care from on" Kash smiled. "I suppose so haha," Rei replied.
"I would love to converse with you more often but it's getting late now."
"I guess so. Let's head to bed now, we have a long journey ahead of us." Rei said as he tries to hold his yawn out of tiredness.
