dear diary I'm currently in the forest looking for
a village to rest in, the journey of going forward is a gruesome one but I'll make it this is just a step forward of my goals finding a way home and being the second master rank guild ever in history.
Astra kept writing in her diary as she walked along. she felt a tug on her pants when she looked down she saw lumi tugging on her. "aww lumi want me to hold you?" Astra closes the book then she picks up Lumi and keeps walking.
with one more step she fell off the cliff.
Astra let out a scream as she fell all the way down.
She stretched out her arm and propelled enough water to slow down their descent.
"oh" she said out of breath "that's why you did that." she puts lumi down
lumi was shaking in fear as she walked along.
"Ok first things first, finding a way out of here."
Astra looks around.
As she kept walking more and more rare stones started to appear on the walls.
"ooh pretty" astra said as she dug one out of the walls she looked at it and it was a green emerald big enough to barely fit in her hands.
Astra stuffed that away into her bag and kept walking.
Eventually she found an area where the cliff spreads out further. She kept walking and reached a dead end
"ok" astra picked up lumi and placed her on her head "we're going to climb this" astra put one hand on a rock that was sticking out and started climbing.
A few minutes later her leg slipped and both of them almost fell.
"..ok a minor slip up ..but we'll be fine don't worry lumi" astra continued climbing.
When she finally reached the top she found a village that looked depressing.
"I guess we will stay here for a while" she looks up to see if lumi's still there.
lumi jumps off of her head and starts to lead the way.
"h-hey wait won't you??" Astra ran after lumi.
[ kings palace[granite kingdom]]
"this is boring"
Two guards were standing watch on a door that leads to the princess's room.
"agreed" one of the guards said
"When we joined the ranks I never knew we'd be put on guard duty."
"Well not much we can do about it Ari," one of the guards explained.
"I know Connor but it's still frustrating" Ari looked out the window.
"oh I know we could talk to the boss about this. I'm pretty sure he'll let us switch." ari suggested
"uhh maybe" connor sounded unsure of this.
"You don't sound convinced" Ari stares at connor.
"Well our boss isn't exactly...flexible, " Connor explained.
"You worry too much, just let me talk to him he'll let us switch you'll see." ari said confidently
"if you say so" connor let out a deep sigh.
----BOOM-----
A big explosion could be heard outside the castle.
and eventually the same explosions break down the doors that ari and connor were behind.
Both Connor and Ari picked up their weapons and got into fighting positions.
and the person that walks through the smoke was a tall man with black hair and blue eyes
"Hello there" the man stared at the two of them.
"What business do you have here?" Ari demanded to know as she got ready to attack him if he made any sudden movements.
"I'm here to see the princess" the man explained
"I'm afraid she shouldn't be having company now" connor said "so turn around and leave"
The man took one step closer.
"if you take one step closer you will be killed right where you stand!" Ari shouted.
he took one step closer and as promised ari rushed at him with her sword about to strike him.
The man dodged this attack and went to hit ari from behind but he had to dodge again because Connor was about to strike him from above.
"interesting-" the man looked at the two of them
"You're not weak like the others..." "Why are you here? shouldn't you be out in the fields instead."
"where we are assigned is none of your business!'' Ari shouted as she rushed in again, this time sliding under him to cut his leg ,soon after Connor came rushing in to attack whilst he's confused.
The man got cut on his leg but still moved fast enough to stomp on ari's arm breaking her wrist and punch connor sending him back a few inches.
"you fools move it I only have so much time" the man rushing to the door but began to feel tired
He looked down and saw his blood being moved to Ari's arm.
she grinded "so much time till reinforcements arrive.. we're taking your ass to jail."
Connor ran after him to cut him down but the man jumps through the window leaving everyone confused.
"3..... 2.....1" the man counted down as the very floor Connor was standing on exploded making the whole palace turn to rubble.
[30 mins later]
Ari pushed a boulder off of her.
"connor?" she started to look around.
"connor!!" They dug through some of the rocks to see Connor's face crushed by the rocks and his legs destroyed.
ari eyes teared up but later widened in realization.
" the princess!"
She started to dig frantically in hopes to at least save her before it was too late.
but her body was too deep to even reach.
but she kept digging ..and digging and digging.
"I'm coming princess dont worry!" she shouts in Hope's that the princess could hear her
seconds then minutes then hours go by
and when she finally reached the princess her body was too crushed to even identify. ari let out a scream.
"Damn you!! I swear I will find you and I'll kill you myself before my own execution!!" Ari started to cry as she screamed those words.
"MARK MY WORDS!!"
