“ Well, it started when their was 9 peaceful rulers of this world. Kai was one of them. All he sought was more power. Power hungry, he betrayed the other 8 while they were fighting a Kogi to protect our world. When they defeated the mighty beast Kai killed them, they were weak from the fight so they each easily fell victim  to Loki's  wicked magic. Even the soldiers that helped the rulers were slain because he didn’t want anyone to tell the people what really happened. He told a fake story about how he was the only one that survived. The people had no choice, but to blindly follow the one ruler that was still alive. Once he had all the power he banished magic. He didn’t want anyone to have a chance of even taking a little of his power. People who would used what they were born with and should be able to explore were thrown in the barracks and left to die. Kai is just a power hungry fool who is not fit to be leader, “ the man explains. 

The man told the story so fast that it was liked he said it a billion times before.I was so overflowed with information but,  something still didn’t add up. How could this man assume that Kai was lying. Unless….

“ Are you one of the rulers, “ I ask.

Laughter fills the air, I don’t really know what was so funny. I just asked a simple question. I take a glance over at Kia, she's as confused as I am. Glad it’s not just me.

“ If I was one of the ruler, I would have already overthrew Kai, “ he laughs.

“ No, I was one of the soldiers sent by the rulers side to destroy the Kogi. My father was one of the rulers though, we call them the ancient 9, “ he says with seriousness again.

“ I’m sorry, “ Kia says.

Kia has a warm, comforting look in her eye. Kia knows what it’s like to have your parents die. She lost her father to a thief when she was only 9.

“ What do you plan on doing, doesn’t Kai a whole army under his command, “ I try to return us back to the main topic.

“ We’re just here to protect the people, we send squads to almost every town to protect the commoners from guards, monsters, etc,” he states.

“ We need to talk to Kai to return to our world though, “ I say annoyed.

I don’t know if this whole thing is real or not still, but if it is I still need to be able to return to my world. I have people there that need me, I hope my family’s ok. 

“ Why such a rush, for now you need training even to get close to one of Kai’s guards, “ he says.

He gets up. He’s actually fairly tall. The man walks towards the racks of weapons. Kia and I follow, again not really having much of a choice.  The racks contain weapons I have never even heard of, a blue and black trident has my eyes on them. The man points at the racks.

The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

“ Pick a weapon, you can learn more later, It’s better to have one that you master though, “ he says as he walks toward the dummies.

Kia and I are left alone, almost 50 different kind of weapons in front of us. Kia looks them, eyebrows slightly raised and mouth slightly open. I look at the blue and black trident. I went for a touch. The long handle of the trident feels smooth under my palm. The handle was black while the 3 blades at the top of the trident were blue. The top of the trident looked like the one of those claws you use to get stuff animals in that box, except the blades are much sharper and look like they can cut through metal. I grab it out of the rack slot, it felt cool between my hands. 

“That looks cool, “ Kia says out of nowhere.

Kia has a bow in her hand and a quiver of arrows on her back. She reminds me a little of Momo. All Kia arrows look the same though, and her bow and quiver has a sun on it. 

“ This is going to be so fun, “ she smiles.

I wish I could share her same excitement. I’m a little scared, never been a fighting kind of person. Kia and I walk up to the man. The man had two long swords on his back. I just noticed.

“ So those are your two weapons, a bow and a trident, interesting. I’ll get you both of you a trainer, stay here,” he says.

“ Welcome to Raven Cliff, the name’s Kage, “ he says while going out.

I’ll follow this crazy world at the moment, until I can think of a plan. I’ll get my information and leave with Kia while the people here are busy. Kia seems like she wants to stay, but i’ll change her mind. Hopefully. 

“ Do you think this Kai guy is evil Kia, is he worth killing, “ Kia says as she glances at me.

“ I don’t know anything at the moment, let's just try to go with it, “ I say.

Kage walks in with two other men. One is a male and one is a female. The male is medium sized, a little bit taller then me. He had blond hair, and a devilish smirk. The girl on the other hand had red hair with leaves in it. Weird, seems like the leaves are stuck to her hair. She’s Kage’s height. 

“ These are the new people, you can explain to them how you train and which tent they will sleep is, “ he says as he goes back to his desk.

The male walks up to me. He doesn’t look that old, probably still only in his early 20s. 

“ The name’s Laurence, let's go to your new tent, “ he says.

He walks out and I follow him, I give one look back to Kia. She winks at me, she’s having too much fun with this.
