PLANET CITARADA
(4 DAYS EARLIER)
Ivo'Zen and many Amargans were now at the once known battlefield. The dead Amargans warriors and the Anti-Meta Human travellers soldiers bodies that had been burnt from the fire were all there present.
It was a form of burial that they wanted to practice for their dead souls. The sound of many Amargans crying could be heard as most of the Amargans wept loudly. Tears were flowing through their checks like a high current river falling.
Anti-meta human travellers soldiers were also present. They felt sad for their comrades who had fallen, but they did not weep as they found it to be weak. They maintained their composure.
Even the current highest commander of their shelter came, and it was Selena herself.
(NOTE: REMEMBER, I WROTE EARLIER IN THIS NOVEL, THAT THERE ARE MORE THAN ONE HUMAN SHELTER ON THIS PLANET. ALL OF THE SHELTER ANTI-META HUMAN TRAVELLERS SOLDIERS WERE PRESENT INCLUDING THEIR HIGHEST COMMANDERS OF EACH SHELTER).
"You all fought well in battle, you decided to leave on your feet than on your knees and that led to your death. Your death would stand as a fuel for us to Fight our enemies. Your death shall not be in vain" Ivo'Zen shouted to everyone's attention.
The Amargans and Anti-Meta Human travellers soldiers circled the area. The dead bodies were inside. They had digged what looked like a hug pit close to the center to throw away the bodies of their dead comrades.
The sound of Amargans crying could only be heard in the place. With all their leaders dead(this was because all of their leaders decided to attend the contest to watch the contest), the person that was closest to a leader's figure was no other than Ivo'Zen; their Strongest warrior on the planet who was now wielding what was now referred to as the THE CRYSTAL BLADE OF ANNIHILATION.
Even other great warriors like N'chokat and Rael'Dor saw Ivo'Zen at this time as a leader.
Ivo'Zen also felt that way. It had not been long since the council appointed him as A Champion figure, which looked identical to a Leadership figure.
Honestly speaking, even before that appointment. Ivo'Zen had his charismatic leadership that followed him around because he was the planets greatest warrior.
Before the Bodies were thrown into the huge dug pit. The Amargans made their last wishes to the dead bodies. They prayed for them to find peace in the world of the dead.
In Amargan culture, a prayer during a burial ceremony for deceased Amargans might convey a sense of reverence, remembrance, and seeking solace.
All the dead were now thrown into the pit Successfully. The pit Immediately filled up reminding them of the amount of people that watched the contest and died that day.
"Ode to the Departed, Amargan Souls" Ivo'Zen said. Because of the silence that was there except for the sound of Amargans weeping, his voice could be heard clearly.
Ivo'Zen continued:
"Oh, cherished spirits of our land, In sacred soil, we lay all of them to rest. May their journey beyond mortal bounds
Be embraced by grace, divinely blessed."
"Grant us strength to bear this loss, For they were all beacon in our lives. In memories woven, their light forever glows, Guiding us through sorrow's relentless tides".
"May your essence merge with ancient whispers, Harmonizing with ancestral refrain.
As the stars in the night sky illuminate,
May your spirit ascend, unbound and untamed."
"With grateful hearts, we recall your presence, The warmth of love that touched our souls. Though tears may fall like autumn rain, In our hearts, your spirits forever unfolds."
"Oh, departed kin, dear Amargan kin, May your journey be gentle, serene. Rest now, embraced by eternity's embrace, Knowing our love for you will forever gleam."
"In hallowed reverence, we bid farewell, To Amargan souls, now free from strife. May peace enfold you in eternal embrace, As you dance among the stars, the tapestry of life."
Ivo'Zen was now done talking and he and all the Amargans, including the Anti-Meta Human travellers soldiers and their highest commanders all bowed their head as a sign of respect to the dead bodies in unison.
"GOODBYE!" Ivo'Zen shouted.
WHOOSH!
The dead bodies that were even now almost ashes were burnt again. The Amargans saw burning a dead person as a sign of purity.
The smokes from the burn had covered the entire atmosphere, it was a very sorrowful day for all, both the Amargans and the Anti-Meta Human travellers soldiers alike.
Inside those crowd of people weeping was a specific Amargan that almost wept like she wanted to die. Her brother and Mother also wept the same way. To her mother it was her husband, to her brother and her, it was her father.
It was no other than Keikon'Kei; which was Kisa'Kei's father. Keikon'Kei who was an Amargan warrior was watching the Contest and had also followed his fellow entire Amargan warriors to fit Kalzifrax, which they had all died as it was evident now.
Looking at the ashes of her father. Kisa'Kei: "He who killed my father.... i shall hunt him down, face him myself, and make him pay for his sins." She said it with tears in her eyes.

After the burial everyone went to their seperate place. The Celestial HARMONIZER was still searching for the CHOSEN ONE.
"How much time is left?" Ivo'Zen asked the device which was the Celestial HARMONIZER.
The device replied with these words with a hum and a strange kind of beeping.
[THE SEARCH FOR THE SYSTEM'S CHOSEN TIME LEFT]
[THE TIME LEFT IS 70 HOURS, 47 MINUTES, 13 SECONDS]
"This is really a long time" Ivo'Zen said to himself.
Ivo'Zen had already crossed his mind that he would give Kalzifrax the CHOSEN ONE if he found him. Whether dead or alive. At this state, he was ready to do anything to save his planet even if it was to kill the CHOSEN ONE.
There was one thing he did not understand, which was the word SYSTEM. What does A System have to do with the chosen one?.
Why did the Celestial HARMONIZER not refer the person as: THE CHOSEN ONE but rather THE SYSTEM'S CHOSEN ONE?.
What was the system doing there? What was the System? And what was it like?.
*Knock Knock
Ivo'Zen's thought was interrupted by a knock to his door.
"I am coming" He said as he went and opened the door.
Immediately he opened the door he was greeted by a Young Amargan teenager who was still very sad.
"I want you to train me to be a perfect warrior" Kisa'Kei said to Ivo'Zen in a demanding tone.
