REBORN DESTINY

As the night closes in, the great king of Xarekhta, throws a party to fellow royal nobles of his kingdom.

The dancers, the food, the jewelleries gold and the moonlight makes the night more gloomy than ever.

As the man with a white cape, a platinum sword, a golden armor and a watch around his waist enters the cuisine court with a golden glass of vine,

"Welcome everyone to a very special party that I, the great king of Xarekhta EFREN BLACK MORE on account of this huge achievement of mine.".

As the hall is filled with nobles and richmens  the murmuring takes no time to spread throughout the castle. What is this sore achievement of the king that he threw a party for! The curiosity doesn't stop and a noble comes up with a drunk face, "And  uh...what is that achieve of yours my king".

The king smiles,

"Killing spree! "

As that said the guards of the castle began to brutally butcher all the nobles and their family.

The king replies to this, "Now you'll realize nobody and by that nobody fucks with the king"

The assassination ends with the insane blood bath of the nobles in their own lust for gold.

As the king gives an evil look

" Nobody owns my people except me, if you think you could get away with this, think again. I have reached a new mark of killing 30 people at once . As of their children give them away to the peasants they robbed, they deserve a fair share as well, let them deal with it".

As the forest glooms with the light of moon and the fireflies, the sound of hounds is not a rare case. Leonardo steps out of his house with Claire,

"We will leave right now don't worry I know the way out we won't be lost". Claire is a little worried she replies, "How are we going to get moving again?!". As Leonardo smiles, "I have a special friend who will help us get out in dark". He whistles out in that darken forest, to get a reply of a kneeling horse. The horse then comes right in front of them from the dark forest. Leonardo says, "Meet SHADOW he is my pet".

The horse looks different and strong that makes Claire wonder again she replies, "The horse looks different",as she rubs her hand around the horse, "What breed is this?". When Leonardo replies, "Honestly I don't know, Shina gave him to me as a birthday gift when I was young, anyways didn't you supposed to have a horse?". When she replies, " We parted ways before entering the forest. I did it because of the hounds".

When she realizes they have to share a horse,"So we have to share a horse eh?, guess I can't expect much from a wildling child". As she takes the hood off her facecompletely this time, the hair of her's is crimson in colour that makes Leonardo to think that he barely knows her, that he must be a little more familiar with her.

They both ride on the horse with Leonardo sitting in the front and Claire in the back. With a weird face Leonardo asks, "Where are you from anyway?"

When she replies, "I am from east, well that's where I was brought up so I think of it as my home".when he replies,

"Easterns are really rare case here, any special objective of yours?".

"Yes, like i said it was to train from SHINA, your mentor i was told that she is very powerful".

When he thinks that now it's been too long for him to even remember her face

He gives a smiles, "Looks like she is more popular than I thought she would be"

As the night gets darker, they both on a horse kept soaring through the dark jungle, when they hear a Roar!!

She is panicked, "Wh-what was that?!!" as a group of hounds appear around them 3 of 'em with blue eyes.

When he says with a smile, "you all found me again eh? ".

She fires up her arm once again.

When he quickly stops her, "No need, they are the my friend I guess the came to say good bye".

He gets off the Shadow and pets them. She thinks of this as a no exception Considering he grew up here with them and the other animals around.

When he says to them, "Ain't you gonna miss me, I know you will don't worry I won't be gone for too long". When the hounds roar again, he can understand there language and is shocked, she says, "Leonardo what's the matter?!".

He replies in a unhealthy tone "They found a body of a women....".

Where the sea meets the land Laura Cross confronts Zarah, "Time has come my child as we must part our way here as promised".

There was a promising fight between Zarah and Laura on whether Zarah gets to go off alone, the results were as expected Laura won but still she decided to fulfill her only so called child's wish.

When Zarah replies, "Don't you worry 'kay I'll be just as fine, Laura".

When She comes ahead on the ship that is about to reach the north Eastern BAY OF CROWS banging her head on to that of Zarah, "We will meet again soon child, but until then make sure to be alive the world is cruel, cruel enough to take your parents from you, your pride as a D'ARC family member. Just remember one simple thing, THERE ARE NO RULES OF LIFE BECAUSE YOU MAKE YOUR OWN RULES". As she parts the way on a small boat making her way to the Bay of Crows. As the name goes the Bay is a huge nest of crows. The place has a big statue of a crow which is unlikely to be visible fully in the moonlight.

She was given away some stuff with her and a map of a place marked on it called Old Citadel where she was suppose to go for the start of a new rebellion.

When she reaches the bay there is no sign of humans whatsoever. As she kept walking in the moonlight the statue now looks even bigger. She passes by the statue and entered the rural path that looks. Like was created by villagers for the purpose of fetching water. With having her head around all directions she says,

"This place is so isolated".when she hears a sound of a women crying. She runs towards the sound to find dead bodies of people living in the local areas the local village was full of dead bodies.

She panicked and asked to that same lady, "What happened here!?!".

When she replies "The bandit army came again". Those are the group of bandits which frequently invade the villages for robbing proposes. She is as usual angry and with a heavy tone she says, "Where can I find them". The women points the forest with her finger.

With a whole lot of confidence she says, "Fine I'll deal with them".

She roams the forest without any guard and a sound comes, "Leave this place our you will die".

When she replies, "Show yourselves you fuckin' cowards".

She is hit by an arrow on her leg she looks at it and removes it quickly in a little pain cry. She says, "Damn it what the fu-".she faints with the poison used in that same arrow. A man arrives she can see a shadow of that man. "I'll kil-" and she fainted away.

The night is still tight and going with full darkness as the old Citadel is a perfect pray for it without of its lightings.

She wakes up in a room in the Citadel, "where the fuck am I!". When an old man wrapped his body with a white cloth enters the room, "You were brought here by my student".

When in a worried tone she replies, "What about the bandits!!".

When the old man sits near her and says, "They are still alive, my student found you in that forest of their nest. Tell me child are you the promised D'ARC member that Laura send me a raven for". She thinks about their talkings before leaving the ship and the Valkyries and how she was given the map of this place by Laura.

"Y-Yes I am, my name is Zarah".

When he puts his hand on her head, "Ah I see you are welcomed here dear, don't worry this place is safe for you, as of for your wound it's already been healed". When she looks at her leaf she sees no sign of sound whatsoever and the old man continues, "My name is ULFREG call me master Ulfreg feel free here and when you do you are allowed to have a trip of this place". As he leaves the room making her think again on how all this happened, "Those God damn bandits!!!". When she looks outside following the sound of wood cutting, she sees a man in the shadows cutting some woods. That makes her curious and she goes outside the man on the shadow looks at her and says, "You're awake eh? Wondering who I am?". As he comes out of the shadow a really muscular and handsome young man appears shirt less, with an axe in his left hand. "I am the student who saved you".

When to all this she replies, "Th-Thanks!" as he puts away his axe,"my name's XAVIER" she replies to the introduction "I'm Zarah". He sits on the stone beside and says, "Master says you are something unique, am I right?". When to this she replies, "I don't think of myself any unique rather the fact that I don't know my family".

He smiles and says, "Then you are the one he was waitin' for. Come with me I'll take you to the place".as she is forced to follow him, they both made it to a huge hall big enough to hold 300 men but, yet so empty. She says, "what is this place". He replies, "it's called KINGDOM HALL, it was supposed to be the center of all meetings that were used to take place before WAR OF LANDS".

WAR OF LANDS a war that brought the evolution it the ruling society of Xarekhta. A event so impactful that even the walls speak of its greatness. The event that sparked this story

"So you came Zarah",said master Ulfreg.

He was standing at a huge wall that had carvings done in it. As he lits up the fire torches one by one around the wall it is now clearly visible, a huge wall with carvings on every inch of it. Names of legends that lived for the land and for its people with many different paintings of statues. They both stand in front of the wall with Zarah indulge in wonders of the carving. The master says, "let me tell you about your parents dear". He walks to the right end of the wall, "Your mother, MERLIN D'ARC was a legendary dragon slayer of her time, she was the Queen of the dragons. as for your father LORD CRAIG WOLFSTEIN, he was the great promised King, the same king that sacrificed himself for the sake of his people in the WAR OF LANDS". As she puts her hand gently on the crafted names of her parents, "what about mother?". Master replies, "the death of your mother is still unknown many say she died in the war sacrificing herself for the kingdom, or she was rotten to death in the dark forest. The place she was last seen by a commoner passing by".when she replies," do you know who killed them?" with an angry face. The master walking away from the wall saying, "See child, when kingdoms are at war you cannot judge or guess who killed who may be it was our allies, may it was the enemy, or something natural". Everyone walks away from the wall when she replies, "what can I do to avenge  them?!". When the master advices, "you don't go on a killing spree for that, first you need know more about your family and all the members that are alive".

She is a little shocked, "ALIVE!! THE MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY ARE ALIVE!"

"Indeed they are, you who should find them first, reunite with them and then know who you are and what you can be ". Said the master as the walked towards the passage. " It's up to child, whether you go out and find your family members or you wait for them to come for you, but if you are going to then I shall come with you". To this Xavier replied," Are you serious you'll leave the citadel for this".

"As a loyal duty to her parents I should Xavier ". When he replies in a worried manner," I'll guard the citadel then? "

"Oh no, no child you must come with me as of this journey will finally lead to your discovery as well". Xavier hates travelling as of how many bad experiences he has had before coming to the citadel, he was called here by the same master but why?

Zarah is in a deep thought, she never really thinks about all this so deeply but she is this time. As she replies, "Fine then, where do we get started!", The master have a smile, "As of what I only know is EAST". She replies, "Alright then east it is but could you give me some time I still have a work to do here". "Indeed you have, take your time dear" said the master as he walked away from the Kingdom Hall.

She comes in front of Xavier, "Ah Xavier I have a favor to ask of you, can you fetch me some ropes please! And yeah don't tell this to master please!" to this Xavier is a little shocked as to what is she planning on doing with ropes!!!

Scene change

The night of full moon bothers someone badly but why? Irene enters the same stable room with some food this time, "Guys I got some food for ya'". Faith replies, "Ah sorry for causing you trouble Irene" as she comes under the light of full moon and the cookout of her eyes are clearly visible, pure red eyes her hair bangs almost covering it and her big teeths looks like they are about to fall. Irene replies, " you know if someone saw you both like this they will panic out real hard". Cade enters the conversation from the back, "It's only a matter of time that's all". "you are right, Cade" as she looks at the moon and the stars " it is the matter of time anyway".

"So how is your 'Pretending to be king' going" Said faith with some curiosity.

Irene replies with a worked up face, "Honestly I don't really have to do anything, it's just sitting on a side chair watching stars...", they both start eating the food she brought for them, "sometimes I think we should leave all this and go on a adventure somewhere far away in the lands of mysteries" said faith with her mouth filled with food. Irene replies to this, "some times I think I really do need a reason as to why I am here alive, with these powers, struggling". And suddenly they hear the sound of a running horse, she quickly gets up and locks the room and walks outside to see what happened, she sees 5 horses with the one leading being ALBERT WOODS. He is the lord commander of the great king Elfren Black more. "what makes you to make your way here lord Albert",she said as she walked in front of his horse. Albert gets off his horse, "Don't worry it does not have anything with you Irene I wanted to talk to the king". When she says, "go on I'm the temporary king". "so the king is on the run again eh? Well, as you may've been informed about the ANTI - BRIBE MANIFEST that the great king introduced on account of his 20th year of reign as the honorable. We just needed to make sure that the manifest is being followed"he said as he stands in front of Irene. She replies, "don't worry you could at least trust your going to be son-in-law". It is because the daughter of the lord commander fell in love with Michael Penber that Albert was forced for their marriage. "Oh please it's her wish not mine besides I didn't even thought Michael to be a rightful guy for that",he Said with a cringe face. "I know you don't so does the king", as soon as she says Albert puts a sword in her neck. "Now now lord Albert let's not flow on feelings ok it was just a joke right?? So lighten up a bit", he is really angry, "Don't you dare even joke on my daughter you are not even worthy for that Irene". She smiles, "Alright I won't, mind to come in castle lord". With making another cringe face, "Huh? Castle I don't see any castle I only see that huge STABLE on the mountain is that your castle??". When she replies, "I think of it as a better option then CASTLE MIRAGE". Castle mirage is lord Albert's constructed castle of his own." Whatever I won't waste time here chatting with a maid of the king anyway I would rather check on the other kingdoms", he said as he commands his horses to move on with him leaving Irene behind, "This jerk still haven't changed yet eh? What a pain in the ass". As she walks towards the castle which is on the mountain, "Don't worry I still think of you as a beauty". The castle which is covered in all greenery is also considered as the most blessed castle on the land of Xarekhta though it still is also called as stable by some one's like Albert Woods. She is walking on the mountain on her way to the courtyard, "once the king and the queen return to their home everything will be just as fine it's the matter of time we have to wait and expect nothing worst to happen, whatever does I won't let it call upon you",as she looks at the castle, "it's a beauty to rule". When the moment is broke by one of the maids in the castle, "Irene, go get some sleep, queen will be here tomorrow, a raven arrived from the high guards". She has a descendant smile on her face, "finally you'll be here". As she went into her chamber for some sleep, the moon is about to go off and the sun will rise above all again.

Scene change

It's the high guards a place where Albert Wood's daughter lives the sea is clearly visible, the waves of ocean sings along the wind that blows over it, the rising sun kisses the horizon as the girl on top of a fortress tower looks at the beautiful sight with tears in her eyes, "I'll be missing you again, down the fact that this is not the first time for me, it's always the first time for you",as her maid asks her, "Lady Brianna it's about time we leave for Penber palace, as you must be there to welcome the king on his arrival from the run". She turns around wiping her tears off with her hands looking back on the sea, "hope we meet again". Not even the maids understands what is so fascinating and affectionate for lady BRIANNA WOOD and the sea. She then walks out of the castle with her father, Albert woods waiting for her outside pointing towards the chariot and the army of 20 men, "these men will guard and guide you safely to the Penber palace, be safe dear". She stands in front of her beloved father, " I will don't you stress about it, besides I'll be with Michael so I guess I'll be just as fine". That makes Albert to think that the real threat to her daughter is Michael Penber and that is for some reasons not known to everyone. She leaves with the chariot with Albert standing begins his personal body guard, " you know JAMES she has the real threat loved". James is confused, "what does that mean sir Albert?". As Albert walks away from his horse along James, "The world has rotted to hell after the end of D'ARC reign James, every king has become one for himself including the great king and the five others, the thing is with no supremacy over them, They all are left unbounded they have fights among themselves for power, making no exception is Michael although I act like a complete jerk on his face and his men he is a man to be relied but like I said every man has become for himself in this place". James understands some of it as they reach the same top of the fortress, "so you are implying that Michael's brother, Louis Penber is a threat to his own brother".. To this Albert smiles as they look at the same beautiful view of the sea, " you don't know what will happen, when, where, in this world all you can do is pray for the best, fight to live and may the gods guide us the rest".

The new start shall happen with a new day on its peak. The world is much more than just a revenge complex and where every man is for himself, where brothers kill brothers over filthy richness, where you must be good at having more then one faces and where the destiny is yet to be reborned.
