章 40: chapter 40: War
"with human conflicts rises the need for wars , that's how it always has been and that's how it's supposed to be , but what happens when wars are no longer just foolish human conflicts for power ? What happens when wars are fought because of an unclear agenda ? What happens when wars are no longer something we can control? What happens when we start fighting a war we don't understand ? What happens when war is no longer a choice but a must? Complete annihilation of the human race is what happens when humans are no longer allowed to be humans. So to answer your question Timothy the reason for this war isn't for power or anything as complex as that no , it is to find a person , one person that can change the destiny of the mortal realms . But that person is a threat to those in the higher realm so they need to find the person before he becomes a danger to them and war is the best way to bring him out . So we are basically just pawns in a game of deities , that is why I want you to grow strong and fast in order for you to protect your family , friends and also the kingdom" Finn explained and Timothy shook his head
"Friends? I don't have friends " Timothy spoke laughing at Finn's assumption that he had friends
"Am I not you friend? Isn't Elaine ,Jake and Ver your friends?" Finn raised a brow
"You lied to me so right now I can't consider you a friend and Elaine is a quiet person I can't speak for her , however the last two you just mentioned are nothing to me besides being people from the city I grew up, we have no emotional attachment to each other" Finn looked at Timothy with wide eyes as he realized what Timothy had sacrificed but he didn't say anything as he simply nodded his head
Finn couldn't add anything else as he spoke in a whisper " I see"
" So basically we are just fighting someone else's war? What about the innocent?"
"They are all going to die , if we fail to stop the war quickly "
Timothy sighed "Then how can we stop this war?"
"I'm already working on it , but everything has to be done in private since every action of mine is under surveillance of the sacred preachers and the church , that's where you and the blades come in " Finn paused before he proceeded to explain to Timothy his plans
After Finn had explained everything to him , he gently nodded and they shook hands after that Finn left leaving him alone with the little fox on his side
" Do you trust him?" The fox asked as it opened one eye
"No i dont " Timothy answered
"Very good , trust is earned and judging from everything it seems like he has done nothing to earn your trust since day one . All he has done is sell you a story , be wary of him" the fox added Timothy looked at the little Fox and smiled
"Yeah old man I hear you"
"Yes it is very essential for young ones to listen to their elders" the fox spoke using an old man's voice
Timothy shook his head and closed his eyes to sleep ...

" Iver sit up straight and tell me everything" Finn walked into the infirmary and stood beside the sleeping saint
"My Lord , what more can I tell you? I have already shared everything I know with you?" His voice was strained
"Something does not make sense , when it comes to swordmen you are the best our kingdom has to offer on top of it all you a top tier Konqueror so tell me how were you defeated by foul blood creatures ?" Finn spoke with a serious expression
Iver's facial expression was one of agony as he looked at his missing arm with tears in his eyes "those creatures were much powerful than I thought and I was also trying to protect the very few people that had survived the mutationm. As what I knew was that some can survive the mutation , but this time it was different it's not that those people managed to survive . But It was just that the transformation was taking longer in their bodies . And when I was trying to shield them from one of the creatures , the people I was fighting for ripped my arm off of my body" Iver explained with tears rushing down his eyes
"I see" with that Finn left the infirmary and Iver kept on crying until he slept...
...
In the Kingdom of La'faura there was a meeting in the king's court , a big round table was in the middle of the court with twelve men sitted on it , all of them were wearing their armour and they had placed their helmets on the table except for one who was wearing a linen shirt with black pants and tie on leather sandals , his brown hair was neatly combed and he also had a shaved stubble , this man was the king of La'faura Elvis Dupres and the eleven people sitted with him were his Doom generals.it was currently midnight and they all seemed to be waiting for someone to arrive before they could start their meeting . One of the generals spoke up
" where are they ? And how dare they arrive late to a meet with the king " the general's aura was leaking out
"Calm yourself general they'll be here" Elvis spoke in a calm tone like a loving father talking to his impatient child
"Look they are here" after Elvis spoke 4 Men dressed in white and gold mage robes appeared behind him
"Apologies , we encountered some troublesome fellow along the way " one of the Men in mage robes spoke
"All is forgiven , now we can start "
"Yes , in the past two months we have managed to successfully destroy 4 major cities of Zebha with the latest city being destroyed yesterday . And all of this have been staged to look like it's the work of the children of the fallen " one of the men in mage robes revealed
"Very good , you being a cult that also uses the foul and also have blood spells in your arsenal will make anybody believe that this is the work of the children of the fallen . Now tell me what does your master want as payment?"
"A drop of blood from the devil you have in your possession" Elvis smiled
"How does your master know about that ?" He spoke as calm as ever
"Master knows many things"
"Very well then" Elvis vanished from where he was for a brief moment before reappearing with a glass bottle that had a drop of black blood floating inside , the blood looked very much alive "here is what you requested , now let's talk phase two of our plan" Elvis handed them the glass bottle
" The king 9f Zebha will be making his way here in order for us to try and reach a certain level of understanding .he will surely be bringing his strongest forces with him leaving the rest of the kingdom unprotected and that's where you come in , I have found the location of their capital all I need you to do is go and do what you did to the other cities , with the capital gone I can easily conquer Zebha but be warned there might still be hidden threats I didn't foresee coming" Elvis laid out his plan
"What about the king? "
"Leave him to us and do as you have been instructed" one of the generals spoke
"Very well then"
Elvis looked at the sky and smiled "what a beautiful sky"
