"Remember,I told you there were three arcs of killing techniques;Plain,Elemental and Primordial."
"Yeah I know but,… what do you mean by I just used a primordial killing technique?"
"Primordial as the name imples,are techniques with no known origin,believe to have just existed, since the dawn of time"
"Coolll"
"It is further divided into time,chaos and space,but it has been years since a primordial user has been located"
"What happened to the last ones"
"That is unknown,they could have been murdered by people who feared their power,or even could have killed themselves"

The three men that were beaten senseless by Ren ,were sitting on a table,within a bar.
The three men were all drunk and in despair.
The dagger was of grave importance to them.
The conman in the stand that day was of tge Shikamaru,the other two were Wan and Shu respectively.
They were thieves,they could even be referred to as pirates,they travelled the globe searching for priceless items.
They searched for treasure.
But they did not search for it honourably,like through mining ,or any other method ,that was not frowned upon by society.
Instead,they stole precious items from the rich and even sometimes,from the poor.
They may had not be assassins but compared to regular humans,they were incredibly strong.
They had countless priceless pieces,which they sold for a high total of coins,but none were as priceless as the blade they had stolen.
They had no idea it belonged to a tempestarii,they just felt it was luxurious,by the markings on it.
The markings were craftily designed and looked beautiful,they stole the blade because of its looks alone.
They had hijacked a chariot rider;he was delivering sets of items to numerous addresses.
The blade was amongst the items to be delivered.
They took the blade,and sent a letter to the address posted on it .
The had written on the letter,that the blade shall only be delivered,if 15 gold coins were given to them instantly.
The receiver had accepted their terms and was prepared to come to the west to retain the blade .
That was their reason for being in the west,they had planned to make the exchange in a few days ,but Shikamaru had other plans.
He had thought he could make more money from the blade,by scamming people into thinking they had a chance of claiming the blade.
He felt that if his plan worked,that he could make double or even triple,of what they were originally gonna make.
But obviously his plan went south.
"What were you thinking" asked Wan confronting Shikamaru
"I thought the plan was flawless,I did not think I would meet someone so skilled at fighting"
"You should have known it would be a terrible idea"
"I know it was risky, but it was most definitely not idiotic,if it had worked,and I brought back the money and blade,you would not be insulting me right now"
"Hey calm down,we are all friends here,right?" Asked Shu
"No,this guy is an idiot" said both Shikamaru and Wan towards each other in unison.
"Let us all calm down ,we have bigger problems" said Shu
"Like what ?" Screamed the both of them towards Shu in anger.
"I don't know,let me think,someone with a lot of money and power,like uhm …-the receiver that we hijacked the blade from"
"Oh yeah" sighed both of them in acknowledgement before screaming on Panic.
After finishing their worrisome screams,Wanlooked at Shikamaru and said;
"So Uhm …what size are you"
"What do you mean"
"I mean your height and width"
"Why do you need that information"
"So we can build your coffin"
"What he's not gonna kill me"
"We'll you are the one who lost the blade"
"If he kills me ,I'll -Ill -I'll kill you"
"That's not how it works dude"
"Enough guys"interrupted Shu before saying
"We stole the blade from him,and we had the gall to ransom him for it,we are lucky he did not send dangerous men after us,but if ge is so willing to pay us 15 gold coins,then he is immensely rich ,and therefore he is very powerful,we have to retrieve the blade ,or we are all day"
"Okay how many days till the exchange?" Asked Wan
"Only three" replied Shu
***********
"I want to have complete control of the entire of the western federation's armed forces"
"What,you cannot ask that"
Queen Kaida was sitting in the council room ,confidently .
She was relaxes on the chair of Darius and no one had to fall to complain .
The difference in power between the north and the west was much to wide,for even western royalty to dare to speak up.
"Listen Darius,I do not think you understood the situation clearly,I am not asking,I am commanding you ,and I said I want to seize control of your armed forces"
"I do not see how taking away my soldiers will help you with your search"
"I am not taking them off you,they will only be under my command ,until Lord Hiroki is found."
"I do not care,what you are trying to do ,this will not speed up your search in anyway "
"Oh-Darius,You are beginning to make me think ,that you are tryna hinder my progress"
"I am not ,I am sincerely trying to help you with your goal,but commanding my armed forces,is not the way to go"
"You are right"
"Really"
"Yes,the armed forces are not enough,I want control of every sector of your army and the Nation itself"
"No way ,I am not agree to such ,that is basically just colonisation"
"Yes,but this is temporary"
"You expect me to believe,that once you have found Hiroki,you'd give up all the power"
"Precisely"
"Lies!!" Screamed Hiroki
The other members of the council sat on their chairs ,watching the battle unfold between the national leaders.
The elders in the council understood that It would be better,for Darius to allow Kaida,have her way,in order to avoid future problems.
Darius heeded to the advice of the elders,before relinquishing authority to Kaida of the North.
