CHAPTER 7 - World Itself
On March 15, 1740, the world once again found itself hurtling down the path of war.
The Amestos, caught off guard, were attacked by the Mage Order.
Keoul, a key city, had already fallen into enemy hands, and the Mage Order was now preparing to launch an assault on the strategically important city of Perlevian.
For the Amestos, Perlevian held immense significance.
It was the birthplace of Charleston II, the sixth king of the Amestos, and considered sacred land.
The Amestos were determined to protect the city at all costs, knowing that its capture would mean a significant blow to their kingdom.
As tensions rose and battle lines were drawn, the fate of the Amestos hung in the balance.

As the days passed, tensions continued to escalate.
On March 18, 1740, the Mage Order launched a full-scale assault on Amestos lands, bringing them closer and closer to the city of Perlevian.
However, just a few kilometers outside the city, they were met with a massive army of 25,000 Amestos fighters.
The stage was set for an epic battle that would determine the fate of the kingdom.
For days, the battle raged on, with neither side gaining the upper hand.
The Amestos were determined to protect their homeland, while the Mage Order was equally resolute in its efforts to seize Perlevian.
The outcome of the conflict remained uncertain, and both sides knew that every moment of the battle would be crucial.
As the fighting continued, the fate of the kingdom hung in the balance.
The fate of the battle was decided on March 24, 1740.
As the sun began to set over the battlefield, the once lush and green valley was now a scene of destruction.
The earth was stained with blood, and the smell of death lingered in the air.
The Amestos army had fought fiercely, but they were ultimately no match for the powerful magic wielded by the Mage Order.
The remaining soldiers of the Amestos army retreated, leaving their fallen comrades behind.
As the Mage Order took stock of their losses, they realized that the victory had come at a great cost.
The bodies of their fallen comrades were scattered across the battlefield, and the wounded were being tended to by healers.
The Queen of the Mage Order, a powerful mage named Aria, surveyed the area. She knew that they couldn't stay in the valley for long.
The Amestos army was sure to return with reinforcements, and the Mage Order needed to be prepared.

Aria turned to her most trusted advisors, a group of skilled mages who had fought by her side throughout the battle. They discussed their options and came up with a plan.
They would retreat to the nearby mountains, where they could regroup and prepare for the inevitable counterattack.
The mountains provided natural defenses and were easier to defend than the open valley.
As the Mage Order began their retreat, they could hear the distant sounds of the Amestos army regrouping.
Aria knew that the battle was far from over, but she was determined to see her people through to the end.
She raised her staff and led her people into the safety of the mountains, ready to face whatever lay ahead.
As the hours ticked by, the tension in the air was palpable. The Amestos soldiers stood guard, scanning the horizon for any sign of the advancing Mage army.
But even as they kept watch, the Mage Order was quietly bolstering their forces, summoning mages from far and wide to join their ranks.
Then, like a dark cloud looming over the horizon, the Mage army appeared in the distance, a vast sea of black and purple robes stretching as far as the eye could see. The Amestos soldiers braced themselves for battle, but their hearts sank as they realized the sheer magnitude of the Mage's military might.
As the Mage army drew closer, the Amestos soldiers were forced to retreat, their ranks decimated by the overwhelming power of the Mage Order. They fell back, their spirits shattered by the crushing defeat they had suffered.
With the Mage army now in control of the territory, the Amestos were left to count their losses and lick their wounds.
The Amestos were left with no choice but to take drastic measures after suffering a devastating defeat at the hands of the Mage Order.
On March 28, 1740, the Amestos leadership issued an order for academy students above the rank of 2 to be deployed to the battlefield.
This decision was met with great sadness by the students, who knew that their lives were in danger.
As the kingdom geared up for battle, the City of Light, the capital of Amestos, launched a tournament for students under the rank of 2 to identify prodigies who could help turn the tide of the war.
The tournament was a chance for young fighters to showcase their skills and potentially earn a place in the ranks of the Amestos army.
It was a time of great tension and uncertainty, as the fate of the kingdom hung in the balance. All eyes were on the tournament,
as it was hoped that it would provide a much-needed boost to the Amestos' morale and military strength.
As the preparations for the tournament were underway, the Mage Order resumed their advance towards the Amestos territory. The kingdom was once again on high alert, knowing that the Mage army could launch an attack at any moment.
With time running out, the tournament had to be completed in just two days, leaving the young fighters with little time to prepare.
The tournament was a grueling test of skill and endurance, with the fighters pushing themselves to their limits in a bid to impress the judges.
The stakes were high, and the pressure was intense, as the fate of the kingdom hung in the balance.
The tournament was closely watched by the new crowned Amestos King - Kreasus I, who hoped that it would provide them with the prodigies they needed to turn the tide of the war.
As the tournament drew to a close, the Amestos leadership awaited the results of the final battle with bated breath, knowing that their very survival depended on the outcome.
It was a time of great uncertainty and tension, as the kingdom braced itself for the final showdown with the powerful Mage Order.
