Lord Aisla and his friend Guiles are tired after the tedious work insinuated by me, approved by the queen, and commissioned by the townsfolk of Kehina. I appreciate the support and the endearment that has poured upon our success. A couple of days prior, we had finally sealed the powerful dungeon portal. And this time, now that we finally have rested enough, we are ready to celebrate our victory. As before we made our way back to the capital - the royal villa, the sole city of Kehina, the bazaar place, and thus the party had already begun. The town is alive with music, dancing, and laughter. And of course, the parade; as everyone celebrates the party's success, Lord Aisla, Guiles and I. Well, despite the frolicking, our dilemma is still out there; war from the other fringe, still looms around the air. We are welcomed back with open arms and showered with gifts and praise. From the ingress, through the arcs, across the alleys and the ghettos, up until where we have reached our destination - our home. Everyone wanted to thank us for the bravery, the gallantry, the audacity, and as well the hard work we put through in subjugating the dungeon and in pacifying the rumored portal. Before the celebration begins, Guiles of Äşaga has been recognized by the folks for the labor he had contributed and has been awarded a token… the tribute of his acknowledgement, a medal dubbed the 'Medal of Active Artistry'.
Medal of Active Artistry is the most prestigious and well-renowned feat that an artist yearns for. The epitome itself is only awarded around the Kehinan jurisdiction only; it was recognized by the reforms of Lady Anda, Queen Kehina. It is an acclimation to those who strive to find a novelty. Strange to technicalities, exhorted by the curiosity of the creative minds. As the data has shown, a large percentage of women derive from the factor that clearly indicates women are more susceptible to liking creative paradigms regardless how masculine the theme and the style is. Men display more muscle when it comes to labor and innovation if it is entertainment. A surge growth of movement that occurred a score in the past or two decades or, to put it in simple terms, twenty (20) years ago; that mostly women not only just in Kehina but also in my home nation Haganalopolis, parts of Inglovia, and Acrania sought employment by the means of entertainment. Moreover, the namesake medal is only bestowed to people of female gender.
Guiles of Äşaga is the sole and first staple who erects the standard banner of manhood when it comes to acquiring an achievement. He steals the show during the ceremony, his work is the limelight of the year and the highlights of this presentation amidst the occuring war outside Kehina. The inner council has discussed this matter with me and Lord Aisla has proposed and which was agreed upon by the approval of Lord Guan on the sideline.
"A banquet would not hurt a business, perhaps." said Lord Guan during the convention.
"Uh-huh. The people seem devastated since the advent of the declaration of the war sanctioned by the Inglovians. It is only righteous to hold such endeavors." Lord Aisla agreed to the conditions, his concern about the welfare of the masses.
Meanwhile, during the awarding ceremony, Lord Guan didn't expect to accumulate a reward in the form of a medal. He utterly cries when his hard work comes into fruition. A work containing the endurance of an above average man is very noticeable. Despite all the hardship of a menial worker, he truly deserves the award. Such an honest man as he cements his claim to be one of the consorts of Lady Anda, Queen Kehina. His determination is unrivaled to any man I've met in my entire life. Hence the reason for his motivation is indeed remarkable. I can't say a thing about Lord Guan only but praises. Lord Guan's embodiment is where the unskilled labor shifts to be honorable. It is because he wears it proudly.

The real hero of this expedition will always be the man who conquered the recent event as everyone would agree to my opinion. All of the military scientists that I came across, Lord Aisla only deserves to be named as the 'genius commander of this era'. If not, one of the greatest among the aforementioned, the greatest marshall of all time. Well, of course, lest not disregard the name of General Kareem Amir Alsaid. Discrediting the legend would be a bold statement and a rude comparison. As far as I am aware, Lord Aisla did not take an education of martial arts elsewhere. He stayed by his personal tutors which he later accounted, 'mediocre'. His reasons for staying here on Kehina, despite engaging in the martial education, are: his financial standing, homesickness, and social ineptitude. Which I digress, taking things into matters by the clout of a blade is their way - the art form of convincing the otherside. The display of dominance. In the beginning, he's handicapped by the studies he received but he is talented when it comes to defying all of the theories written in a book. A true artist of his field. Lord Aisla coined the word, 'déjà vuvu'. He claimed that since: "... doing the same move makes perfection. But, making the same mistake is a different story." 'Déjà vu' means in 'Brianish' tongue - already have seen. In Acrania, the term 'bobo' means dimwit, inept, incompetent, and along the lines of being feeble. As a portmanteau, purportedly 'I already have seen this, stupid.'
After the ceremony has finished during the time of high noon, the party is initiated. Lady Anda confronts me and gives me something. To my surprise, it is also a medal! I look at her in the eyes with my perplexed face. She beckons me a smile and smacks me a kiss on my left cheek. Awarding me in the public might prompt an uproarious protest from the crowd which we are trying to avoid. The war is still lurking around.
The dusk is filled with feasting, drinking, and merriment as the heroes, dubbed by the leadership of Lord Aisla and in the sideline that includes me, celebrate their victory. Our victory. A triumph to Kehina! They share their own stories from the otherside of their adventures in the dungeon and as we recount those tales of bravery and courage in the face of the dangers and the perilous accounts. As the evening wears on, we move from several taverns to a plethora of bistros, sampling different drinks and savoring delicious food. Meads and ales, it does not matter. All's free. Funded by the nation itself, Kehina. Oh, man! How I would never love Kehina! We even stop by a local theater which integrates illusions and magic. We are flabbergasted at this form of act. Where we have watched a performance of an epic battle between the portrayal of our deeds and the evil monster that had taken place in the wretched dungeon just days before. What a show, indeed! But a 'lil bit hyperbolic.
Finally, it is time for me to go home. My first home, Haganalopolis. Without prior notice to the inner circle, as only Lady Anda knows the venture. I shall seek endeavors of alliance to my people. As their former ruler, Earl Geoff will be embarking through the seas. Your father is coming home after several years, my son. Just wait for me.
