Chapter 119: Chapter 119-Freedom Beyond Death

Mira couldn't believe how thing's had come to this, she had known that her dear nephew would be attending the academy this year, hell as his aunt, she even had pulled a few strings to help him get into the academy easier

The position of the Dean of the Babylon Academy is extremely important, as the academy where the geniuses from the world gathered, it has to assured that the top brasses of the school should be neutral, hence the position of Dean was shifted every 30 years, the last Dean had only retired the last year, giving the set to Mira, who at the current time was not affiliated to any powers

"Mira shouldn't we do something?"

Grace had a worried expression on her face as she looked at Austin, Mira only shook her head after hearing Grace's question, as the head of the school, she knew the truth about the locked world but who would have thought that the one to open the world would be her nephew

'That boy always invites trouble....'

Mira could not believe how easily Austin gets into trouble, she really wanted to drag him out of that world and give him a peace of her mind but still as she looked at the handsome silver haired man that stood at the cliff, fearlessly facing an army, she couldn't help but agree that her nephew had grown up good

"Calm down Grace, look at him, even though he's facing such a situation he's completely calm, which means that he has a plan at this point we can only put our trust in him"

Though still not pacified Grace could only nod her head as she looked back at the screen, meanwhile back at the screen, Austin held his breath as his body adjusted to the pressure released by the army in front of him

"Sigh...me and my luck"

Right now complaining was no use, if I want to get out of here alive I must focus on the current situation, I focused on my power and soon a beautiful blue and purple harp materialized in front of me, the strings of the harp was purple contrasting with the blue

Ever since I entered this world, the harp kept humming inside me, seemingly desiring to be played and just as I brought it out, a huge wave of voices hit me, painful words seemed to fill my mind

'Help.....pls....hel-'

'Run.....boyyyy..runnn'

'plsss...noo...moree...'

Each of the voices was filled with pain, hearing it for some reason my heart clenched as a tear fell from my eyes, just as the voices were getting overwhelming they disappeared what was left was a beautiful harp floating in font of me

"I see....you want to help them huh....."

I didn't get an answer but the harp did hum, I smiled as I wiped the tear from my eyes, I got the harp as I walked towards the end of the cliff, I stood tall as I looked at the thousands of soldiers in front of me who at a time had fought fearlessly to protect their world, yet now they stand in front of me as nothing more than chained animals

Hero's that should have being buried with honor had being chained like animals without proper rest, the soldiered in the front barked as they snarled in my direction, dense corrupted mana surrounded me, yet a sweet calm blue aura came from the harp protecting me, I looked at the king that sat on the throne as I spoke

"I do not know your pain but I can help diminish the pain you all are going through right now"

Just as I finished speaking hundreds of those at the front started running towards me, there was no strategy or honor just pure barbaric ness left, I held my harp tight as I took a deep breath, it's true that one cannot be saved after being corrupted but that only applies to those who wield normal weapons, what I hold had once turned this world upside down

No words were needed to be said as my hands trailed the beautiful purple string, a mesmerizing sound was heard, it rippled in the seas as it travelled forward, light aura clouded with blue and purple spread from my place hitting the ones that was running towards me

As soon as the sound reached them the ones that were running towards me stopped, for once an unce of clarity appeared, but soon the corrupt mana tried to regain it's front but how could I let that happen?

I didn't stop as my hands speedily traveled through the harp without rest, sending out tunes that shook once soul, I closed my eyes as I focused on my performance, even thought it was short I had felt the pain and despair within the once that stood in front of me, I opened my mouth as I sang a poem

"May I never forget the men and women

who gallantly defend our freedom and our way of life.

Their valiant service and sacrifice

shines with unmatched brilliance.

I pray for their safe return,

that they may enjoy the life for which they fight."

"Thank you; even though we have not met.

You give the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

You leave your families behind and you protect everyone.

May your families be shielded in you absence.

May you also be shielded; thank you."

"Having no family, no home

adopted by those who share no blood, no cause.

I walk the streets where no connection exists,

but familiarity ensures comfort to lay my head..."

(A/N: The poem does not belong to me!)

My voice wasn't exactly loud but thanks to the passive and active abilities of the harp that I was using, my voice was soul shaking, I didn't even stop for a moment playing the harp and it's results showed, the ones that was attacking me completely stopped

Not only them everybody watching it even the rest of the soldiers to the one watching things outside stopped, no sound was heard, everybody seemed to be pulled into the song, unknowingly some imaged started to appear in their mind

Everybody saw a scene of a man leading the army, everybody saw the scene of soldier's protecting their home, their life, their family by their scarifies, even some weak willed students started crying in the stadium


Chapter 120: Chapter 120-Freedom Beyond Death(2)

The soldiers at the front stopped as the corrupted mana around them started fluctuating, it seemed that the corrupted mana within them was fighting against the aura that was released from my harp, they snarled and roared but soon they calmed down

My hands kept moving through the harp without any stop, non stop music kept being played, the soldiers at the front that had come to attack me stopped, the dark mana surrounding them soon swayed, a scream was heard and soon the corrupted mana inhibiting them disappeared

Golden lights started to surround the one's who had their corrupted mana lifted from them, their true features which was hidden was revealed, there was a hint of confusion on their face before a smile broke out to the ones who were cured

"I-I-I a-am freee...."

"Wh-What ha-happened..."

The ones who were free teared up, men who had fearlessly battled without any fear to their life were currently crying with heartfelt happiness, they looked at me with a smile while tears kept falling down their face

"Thank you and please.....please help the rest..."

Nothing else were needed to be said as they broke into golden particles, my hands even at that time didn't stop playing, instead I put more power and mana into it sending waves of my aura towards the rest the soldiers that stood behind without making a move

The power of the tunes that I send out became stronger, all the ones that was standing in the military formation, too felt the effects as they were showing sings of confusion, yet it was not enough, the corruption overwhelmed them as they roared in anger

Blood flew out of my mouth due to the backlash but I still didn't stop moving my hands, cuts started appearing on my hands as blood dyed the strings I played, the corrupts had enough as they screamed in anger, an intense amount of mana and warrior auras hit me

Forcing me back, all of the ones on stand by stated gathering mana as they ran towards me, the sea shook, as the warriors of the sea made their move, yet between all this a single word was spoken

"Stop"

The voice was calm and authoritative, just a simple word and the one's that was running towards me stopped.....no they were forced to stop from the pressure given out by the man who sat on the throne

I raised my head to look clearly at the beautiful man who sat on the throne, the corrupted mana still surrounds him, yet a hint of clarity which was missing had resurfaced but the sings of struggle on his face indicated that it was a time delicate effort

Yet even in such a situation there was deep pride and authority to him, even the mindless corrupted stopped , their unconscious mind caused them to stop, due to the deep respect and admiration they once had for this man, Xavier lifted his head as he looked at the boy that was giving him a chance at salvation, a chance to let his warriors to rest in peace

"Please...."

Xavier only spoke one word, yet it contained all his emotion, I didn't say anything, my hands held my harp tighter as I took a deep breath, a man who stood at the top of this world was begging, this just showed the desperation he held and who am I to deny it?

The entirety of the mana within my body shook, I was putting it all in, my hands that was stinging with pain and blood ran through the strings of the harp with determination, due to the suppression of Xavier the soldier were unable to fight back

"I will not die an unlived life.

I will not live in fear

of falling or catching fire.

I choose to inhabit my days,

to allow my living to open me,

to make me less afraid,

more accessible,

to loosen my heart

until it becomes a wing,

a torch, a promise.

I choose to risk my significance;

to live so that which came to me as seed

goes to the next as blossom

and that which came to me as blossom,

goes on as fruit."

"No matter what is going on

Never give up

Develop the heart

Too much energy in your country

Is spent developing the mind

Instead of the heart

Be compassionate

Not just to your friends

But to everyone

Be compassionate

Work for peace

In your heart and in the world

Work for peace

And I say again

Never give up

No matter what is going on around you

Never give up"

"This moment can be

A New Dawn,

A New Day….

Forgive, Forget,

and move on

Ask your self;

Do I wish to keep repeating the pattern?

Perhaps it's time for something NEW"

This time my voice was not forceful nor moving, it was calm and serene, the song I sang flew deep into the hearts of those who listened, this time I had put in the entirety of my mana and my heart, for a moment the blurry figure of my past family came, which was soon replaced with my new one

Nothing in life is eternal, we all will have new people in life, while the old might fade away but it does not mean that they are gone, it just means that we have grown, the only thing we can do is not to forget them, this time my voice was filled with emotions

All those who heard it felt their heart flutter, images of their parents their loved ones and the ones they have missed or lost filled their heart, the world became silent, only my tune and the poem that I played filled the world

Grace's eyes teared up, she could feel a sense of lose in his voice, not only her, Nora and Elda and Mira Austin family clearly felt it, tears fell down their eyes for a moment, the soldiers who heard it stopped moving completely

The corrupted mana tried to fight, it tried to bring it's corruption back but this time it failed, no matter how powerful corruption is...it cannot fight against true love and feelings, no matter how dark things get there would a single thing in one's heart that causes them to fight, the single desire that causes them to move forward

Every soldiers started tearing up, the dark corrupted mana could only leave helplessly, all of them opened their eyes, deep gratitude filled them as they looked at the boy standing on the hill, a beautiful sight was created as the soldiers broke into golden particles

The sky seemed to shine as the particles floated in the sky, the reflection of the light was felt in the sea, both the land and the sea shone in golden light, mesmerizing the ones that saw it, this was a sight that all those who saw would never forget in their life

It was a day that all the ones of the sea in the future would one day call it.....The Rest Of The Golden Sea
