10 years ago.
Soviar Capital.
A woman running fast in the streets. She has blonde hair and silky white face.
“Big sister!!! Big sister!!! I’ve heard about it.” That woman said to Marsa while gasping for air.
“Oh Mika, what is it that you heard so urgent?” Marsa smiling.
“Are you going to war? Isn’t it dangerous? What if you didn’t make it?” Mika said with sad voice.
“Oh my lovely little sister. There’s nothing going to happen to me. I’m strong after all.” Marsa said while flexing her arm.
There is a slight tear on Mika’s eyes as she was sad to see her big sister go to war. She can’t do anything as Marsa is the holder of Medallion of Pheonix. Only the strongest magician can wear the medallion. So far only 5 people who has the right to wear the medallion that were bestowed by the king. After a while, came a man running while gasping for air. He was tall and handsome with short black hair.
“C’mon now Mika, don’t run away so suddenly. You know I can’t keep up with all this running.” He said.
Marsa gaze fall unto the man. The man smile and nod.
“You can take care of her do you, Raiser?” Marsa said with a serious expression.
“O-of course, I may not look like it I’m pretty strong you know?” Raiser a little frightened by Marsa intimidation. Marsa smile and then she look into her sister eyes.
“I’ll be back in a jiff. Don’t worry about it.” Marsa said softly.
They then hug each other tightly as if it was the last. Mika cried helplessly as she was scared what would happen to her sister in the frontline. Before departure, Raiser give a necklace to Marsa saying that it’s a charm from his village up north. It is said that it can protect its wearer from devil’s harm. Marsa smile and receive it with a smile. Then, she depart.
In the midst of crowd near post in the north frontline.
“Make a way!!! Make a Way!!!” a horse rider shout as he galloping fast through the crowd of an army.
As he arrived at the command post, he unmounts the horse and running into the post. There were 4 people in the post seemingly discussing about some matter. Those 4 people are greatest people in nation. Within those 4 people, Marsa included.
“Urgent letter from the king!!!” he shout.
“Could you keep it down. We hear you just fine even if you said it normally Jose.” a man in heavy armour glowering. He has a brown hair and a serious face with a scar across his chin. He has a well build body, a magnitude of a warrior.
“S-sorry Sir Ludius. It’s an urgent matter from the king.” Jose apologized.
“What is it?” another man with heavy armour ask. He has a golden hair and a handsome face.
“Yes, Count Percy. King wants the army to move to the west immediately as it pose a great danger according to [Sight].” Jose explained.
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Every time a king were rise to throne they receive a blessing from the goddess. Every king had a different blessing. This time, it’s King Harlaus VI, with the blessing of [Sight]. [Sight] can make the wielder see what’s to come even if it’s 1 second to the future but it requires mana according to how far in the future he can see. The farther to future he see, the more mana he requires.
“West? But there’s almost to no threat over the west. We already send a scout team.” Said a man in dark robe and a long beard.
“Well, it’s the [Sight] from the king. All we have to do is to follow orders aren’t we Fusa?” said Marsa. She is wearing blue robe.
“W-well I guess we had no choice then.” Fusa sigh.
“Quick assembled 10 thousand army to the west, the one in charge will be Marsa and Ludius. Me and Fusa will take care of the north.” Percy said.
Everyone agree with Count Percy and nod.
After a few days, in the west.
More than 10 thousand army were relocated to the west. Only Marsa and Ludius were assigned to the west as they didn’t want to neglect their defence on the north. As they were prepare there’s thousand of devil army marching towards them geared and ready.
“Well, well ,well, look’s like the [Sight] isn’t for show huh?” Ludius smirk.
“Of course, it was called [Sight] for a reason, stupid. Can you explained why I have to work with you again?” Marsa respond.
“Don’t be salty love, it’s a duty we have to abide. Can the past be in the past? ” Ludius said smiling.
“Well, if its not the duty I would’ve burn you to crisp with [Firebolts].” Marsa pout.
“Ugh, that’s scary. Haha. Well, if it’s coming from you, I wouldn’t mind.” Ludius smiling.
Then, a loud horn was heard and the battle begin. Both army collided with each other as the thousand of human and devil died. Ludius slay the devil in the frontline with his big sword. Killing the demon left and right. Marsa and the other mage casting a destruction spell in the back supporting the main army. Both suffer great casualties. The battle last for a week. The human army successfully dominating the battle. The devil’s army were scattered and the rest run into the forest scared. Marsa and Ludius command the army not to chase after them as it holds no meaning and a waste of time. They move towards the command post of devil’s army. As they arrived at the devil’s army command post, they saw a figure sitting crossed leg as if he was meditating. They puzzled. It’s a devil with alluring presence. He has an elegant face and he was shirtless with a lot of scar on his body. When Marsa and Ludius steps foot in front of him. He opened his eye slowly.
“Oh, so the human has win huh? Or so you thought.” The devil then stood up.
Marsa and Ludius then took a stance ready to attack. They take a caution if things goes out of control.
“Today, is the day you died devil. All of the suffering you place on our people end today.” Ludius said angrily.
“Why didn’t you run like the rest of the devil? Is it bravery? Or just foolishness?” Marsa intimidate.
“You human like to dabbled with your so called pride. Calling them honor. Heh. Such pathetic excuse. I stand before you because of pride and nothing else. In the name of Devil Lord Ashgal, you shall perish. ” he said proudly.
Then, red magic circle appear behind the devils. Creating hundreds of fireballs. Those fireballs then fired at Marsa and Ludius. Ludius evade the fireballs with his quick reflex as Marsa create a barrier around her, protecting herself from the fireballs. Those fireballs create a foggy atmosphere. The devil stood still as it became quiet. Then, came a swing of a big sword toward him. He dodge and throw the fireballs in the direction of the sword but nothing happen as the sword disappeared. It’s quiet once again. Then, a fireballs came fast to his face. He was surprised and barely dodge to the left. Then, came a sword from his left. He then block the sword with his hand. He were send flying and scream in pain as he hit a wall. He’s injured badly and barely moved. Marsa use a spell [Disperse] to clearing up the fog. They approach the devil and were surprised as the tough looking adult turned into a little boy.
“You good? Are you really a general?” Ludius puzzled.
“P-please don’t kill me Sir. I’m sorry.” The boy beg.
“I’m sorry kid but war is still on and you being on the wrong side at the wrong time.” Ludius said while about to swing his sword downward.
“Arrghh!!!” The kid were frightened as he cover his face.
Then Ludius sword were stopped by a force.
“Oi, oi, what you trying to pull love?” Ludius glancing towards Marsa.
“He just a kid. Are you out of your mind?” Marsa said.
“He’s a devil alright. Don’t get mistaken cause they will grow one day and be the same as other devil.” Ludius said.
Marsa just holding the sword with magic and look at Ludius with a serious expression as she had a tear in her eye.
“Haah, I got it, I got it, you want the boy right? Just don’t regret it love.” Ludius sigh as he put down his sword. He move aside as Marsa walks towards the boy.
