In the castle of the capital city Grambat emperor 'Himwell Gram' the 3rd finally received some information on the person responsible for the murder of princess from General 'Zor Kranz'. "Emperor, I've found out about who brought misfortune on our young princess, our 1000 knights in woodstle, and also who cause the incident of the goish village but you might not believe the words I speak today." said general Zor with a very serious look. "I'll believe each and every thing you say, just tell me the names of people who did this, I'll personally kill every single one of them, just tell me already." said emperor with a anger.
"Not many people, just 1 person, only 1 person is responsible for the slaughter of our 1000 knights as well as killing princess, A young girl named Lily Wraith, she is of demon race so she can be considered one of most dangerous criminals and for the goish village incident, it's yet unknown how he did it but a boy named Eri, singlehandedly killed every person in that village, the shocking part is that village had many strong warriorswho had unique powers while Eri was the weakest one in the village. " said general Zor.
"it sure is hard to believe those 2 young ones can cause harm to my kingdom but I'll take your word, find where they are and send our army there, make sure those 2 don't make it out alive." said emperor.
meanwhile in the forest,
"How do you know I have experience in killing." said Lily with a worried face.
"don't worry I won't be judging you, you must have your reasons, and I don't have any unique powers or something, honestly I'm very weak so you can drop the your gaurd, but yaa I can tell that you've killed people just by the look in your eyes." said Eri.
"oh so you don't have unique powers like the rest! must have been rough growing up." said Lily
"yaaa it was tough, kids would bully me, beat me, use their powers on me to practice and all kind of things." said Eri with a emotionless face.
Lily got a little sad after hearing his story and seeing his face but when Lily looked in his eyes she saw something, something she didn't knew.
"I guess you had done the same.... like... killing someone..." said Lily while hesitating.
"Ya, I've killed people too, though my reason for killing and your might be way different." said Eri while faking smile.
Seeing Eri's face Lily stood up walked to Eri and said, "I don't know what your reason was but... don't give me that fake smile, trying to fool people into thinking your are happy when you are not, we've just meet yet we are already like buddies so as a friend I'm saying this, you don't need you hide your feelings when you are with me, and earlier you asked if I would like to travel with you, my answer will be yes, you don't have powers to defend your self then let me be your sword."
This made Eri emotional and he teared up.
"Lily, you maybe the first person I am telling this to." Said Eri
"I am ready to listen, just tell me." said Lily
"My dream is...."
Eri told Lily his dream, Lily was shocked and surprised.
"I guess to tag along on your journey was definitely a great decision, but what will be your first step towards your dream?" asked Lily with a Motivated face
"My first step will be destroying this Kindom."replied Eri with a huge smile on his face.
"Let's do it then." said Lily.
The next day they reached the city they were traveling towards. The city was called Post city 'Bluse'. As they entered the city they were shocked by what they saw. There were stone statues of people all over the city.
"Why are there so many stones statues here, it's as if..." Said Lily to which Eri replied, "Yaa it's as if The people's are turned into stone."
As they walked around the city they came across 2 twin brothers who were standing as if they are protecting something.
"Hey kids, do you know what happened her." asked Eri.
The kids looked scared.
"Oi Eri, don't be rude to them, they are just kids, hey kids, what are your names." said Lily
"That boy is beautiful, but you are scary old lady." said the older twin.
"Old lady? who is old lady!!" Lily said with scary face.
"see I knew you are scary." said the older twin.
"Well excuse her, would you kids tell me your name and what happened here." said Eri to the twins.
" I am 'Rue' and this is my younger brother 'Mallow', what you think are the statues are actually real people turned into stone by the curse of sea, I won't be surprised if you don't believe me but this is true." said Rue.
"Curse of sea? it honestly doesn't sound real but I'll believe you." said Eri and gave Rue a headpat.
"Looks like I won't be getting my Dish anytime soon, well would you tell us anything more." Said Lily and Rue replied, "we don't know what really happened, but day before yesterday in evening a weird person came in the city and yelling in front of of the city center that the town was controlled by the king and the revolution will be brought to this town with the curse of sea, we don't know what that mean but the next morning ad soon as the first ray of sun fell, people turned into stone."
Lily looked at Eri's face and she realized that Eri might have figured what is going on so she took Eri and asked him what happend here, Eri replied,
"This town was directly under kings control because of its port so this town is very important to king, And the person which yelled those words maybe of the people who don't want to be govern by the king, they call themselves freedom fighters but they are just bunch of criminals who want to dethrone the king by any means possible, I still don't know how did they manage to turn the people into stones."
As the Eri and Lily are trying to find out what happened in Bluse city, the freedom fighters are making their moves and the kings army is on the way to capture them.
