Chapter 7 - Short Bath Of Glory

A large parade had commenced in an opposite realm, As King Grit basked in the celebrations of his new fortress, a sense of triumph and power washed over him. The impenetrable wall surrounding his realm stood as a symbol of his strength and authority, a barrier against any who dared to challenge his rule.

By his side, his beloved companions and entrusted Guardians, all bathing in the glory of their common milestones.

However, amidst the revelry, news of the attack on the Realm of Grace reached the King, shattering the illusion of peace and security. His initial reaction was one of anger and indignation, fueled by the belief that the immortals had turned against each other, plunging their realms into chaos and discord.

Without hesitation, King Grit began plans to mobilize his forces, with the intention to intervene and restore order to the Realm of Grace. Blinded by his own sense of superiority and the desire to assert his dominance, he failed to see the deeper machinations at play, unaware of the true nature of the threat that loomed over the realm.

As confusion cluttered his mind, the messenger who informed King Grit of the attack on Grace also delivered a notice of warning from the Realm of Leisure. This notice detailed a conspiracy to overthrow the rule of the Queen of Leisure at the hands of Grace and Torment, adding another layer of intrigue to the unfolding situation.

The King felt a war stirring, uncertain of his stance in the eyes of each Imortes.

In his perplexity, King Grit believed that these warnings confirmed his suspicions about King Torment's involvement in the attacks across the realms. He strongly believed Grace and Leisure would never result to unwarranted violence, but the implication of Grace burrowed a well of doubt deep into his impenetrable heart.

Despite the common values that Grit shared with Torment, the motive behind targeting the Realm of Grace remained unclear, leaving Grit with more questions than answers. He knew that he could not take action until he had concrete proof of the attacks, in fear that a pre-emptive strike may cause more harm to the fragile nature of this brewing war.

In a bid to gather information and assess the situation firsthand, he entrusted his Senior Guardian Amex, and Junior Guardian Valerie with the task of investigating the attacks on the Realm of Grace. Their minds focused on unraveling the mystery behind the assault and uncovering the truth.

Meanwhile, King Grit waited anxiously for news from his guardians, knowing that the decisions he made in the coming days would have far-reaching consequences for the realms. As he prepared to take decisive action to protect his realm and restore order to the land, he could only hope that Amex and Valerie would succeed in their mission and bring an end to the turmoil that gripped the realms.

As Amex and Valerie prepared for their mission to investigate the attacks on the Realm of Grace, they shared a meaningful conversation about the task ahead. Despite Valerie's inability to speak, her understanding of Amex's intentions was clear, a testament to their strong bond and effective communication as a team.

Amex, with his strategic genius, felt it was crucial to convey his plans to Valerie before venturing off into the unknown. He knew that despite Valerie's inability to vocalize her thoughts, her keen intellect and prowess in battle made her an invaluable asset.

"Valerie," Amex began, his tone serious yet filled with trust and confidence, "we have a challenging mission ahead of us. But I believe that together, there's not much that stands in our way. Your skills in combat and your intuitive understanding of our objectives make you an indispensable partner."

Valerie met Amex's gaze with a prideful nod, her eyes reflecting her commitment to the mission. She may not be able to speak, but her actions spoke volumes, conveying her readiness to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

"As for our approach," Amex continued, "You can rely on my strategic expertise to analyze the situation and devise a plan of action. I trust that you will be by my side, ready to execute our plan flawlessly."

With their roles defined and their mutual trust unshakeable, Amex and Valerie set out on their mission, united in purpose and determined to uncover the truth behind the attacks on the Realm of Grace. They knew that their unique partnership would be their greatest strength in the face of the foreboding quest.
