Part 1:

“How Long Until The Crown Breaks?”

4. Bow and arrows ready from the archers, the flames and swords of the soldiers ready, the creatures ready to devour and tear, and Morlagon and Mashina, ready to take charge and protect, just like their warrior days.

All of them hidden up top the mountain, with them secretly looking down the mountain, through the vicious fog to try and see their opponents. 

Then as it silences between everyone, they suddenly hear the sound of powerful and large footsteps, multiple footsteps, and then screaming and shouting, the clamor of battle coming their way!

"They're here..." Mashina whispers, then right after, she shouts heavily, "they're here!"

Morlagon smirks to Mashina saying, "you ready...?"

"Always." She replies as she takes out her infamous sword and Morlagon his infamous seven bladed chakram. They take charge through the fog and noise and begin to attack from their position as the Dorianians make their way up.

With the exhilarated people making their way up through the fog, on Morlagon's command, the men and women begin shooting, attacking, and fighting their way to not be up close and bombarded by the Dorianians.

As Morlagon and Mashina keep their weapons tight in their hands as they aim and kill, Morlagon says to his men, "you're getting them! Keep shooting, keep shooting!"

With Morlagon and Mashina sending Roid and Lunar down to attack the enemy, their plan works proudly as the screams are heard of the people. But what the archer's did was take out one whole side from the right side of the lower mountain already, causing Morlagon and Mashina to work even harder. 

As they start to dwindle the Dorianian rebels, they start making their way down as nothing but the men and women fighting by Mashina's side stay alive, so far, only three wounded.

As the men slash and swipe their way through the rebels, they fight with all they have, not even realizing the power they have to diminish the Dorianian rebels like this. 

With the power of the Lesothian forces, they ravage through the Dorianians with ease as they keep shooting and shooting.

And fighting like this for over thirty minutes, they finally push them back down the mountain to where Morlagon gets in contact with the leader.

"Keep going! I'll get through the last one you get to the leader Mashina!" Morlagon shouts as runs down the mountain with Roid joining him, running the same speed, Morlagon makes it to one of the rebels as he charges towards Morlagon with his crystalized sword, but effortlessly, Morlagon throws his seven bladed chakram at the man, cutting him instantly.

And behind him Mashina jumps over Morlagon and lands on Lunar, with Lunar running forth through the leader as he tries to push his sword through her, but with her strength and anger, she shoves her sword right through the leaders stomach, all the way through to where she takes her sword out from him through the blade itself. 

And taking hold of it, the leader falls right down the slippery slope and starts sliding down with his body parts still and blood right on the ice.

Mashina stands there, cleaning off the end of her sword as Morlagon walks down, saying, "so much for my help..."

"Maybe I just wanted to show off." She smirks as Morlagon says, "well good, let's get our men and women before I vomit from this." 

He points to the sliding body as Mashina says, "right..."

Walking back up the snowy and icy pathway, Morlagon and Mashina make it back up with their armies after searching out for anyone else.

But then…

Mashina has a plan.

"I want us to meet with the Dorianians themselves, right outside the cave they call home."

Morlagon turns to Mashina saying, "a dangerous..." 

She looks his way.

"For anyone that is not us..." Morlagon adds with a smirk, "come on, let's make our way down!"

With the armies following after, they all make it down the pathway.

Mashina looks up once making down, "I never realized how high my people live."

Morlagon turns to her saying, "was the place we just were not the beginning?"

Mashina laughs out loud, causing some of Medaian soldiers to laugh as well.

Morlagon and his army stare at each other then to the Medaians in wonder.

Mashina places her hand on his shoulder saying, "that is our bottom half, you see...We live on the part of the mountain where the clouds are our tall buildings."

Morlagon widens his eyes in thinking of what that is like to live. "It surely is your home," he replies.

But making it to the Dorianian cave entrance, Mashina walks up to the cave as Cregor says to her "The entrance is closed off? How? We just battled their rebels?"

"Remember Cregor, the rebels live outside the cave, not in it live the civilized."

"Yes, my lady, I do remember now, which I suppose will bring us to negotiation with them."

"You bet it will be Cregor." Mashina smirks to him before knocking on the door six times.

"My lady, I'm sure they know your presence by now?" One of the soldiers says. Then Cregor replies to him, "it is their signature way of telling what the visit is about, six times means warning and negotiation."

"I see you kept up studying Cregor." Mashina says as she steps back, with them all watching the crystalized door slowly open up, revealing inside, a dimly lighted cave.

"Let's go in Morlagon, I'll take Cregor and two of my women, you take three of your men." Hearing her leadership type of voice, Morlagon lifts one of his brows and bows down to her a bit, doing this, she smiles and laughs before adding in, "your highness."

He rubs her head, "that's better, let's go in."

Walking in first, Mashina follows after as the rest of the army and men of Medaian stay outside.

Walking down and down some rock-like steps for a bit, Morlagon whispers, "they have made the cave like a city."

"Only great thing they have ever done, your highness." Cregor replies.

With this, they make it fully inside the underground and crystalized city, to where people are casually walking and talking together, with what looks like four angry guards coming their way.

But Morlagon stands his ground, saying, "you don't look like a people who just lost about a hundred men."

"What?" The guard angrily says with a strong unknown accent to Morlagon.

Mashina steps up saying, "tell your leader to stop sending your rebels to come and fight us, tell them that we will diminish your population even more if you all keep it up!"

All of their voices echoing in the cave, two of the guards back up and walk away somewhere while the other two stay in the view of the crew.

Suddenly though, Cregor snaps his fingers three times and slightly taps his foot on the rock stairs behind him.

The guards walk over to him as if to investigate what he is doing, but Mashina turns around saying, "what are two doing?"

"He makin noise, we no like noise here, it'll awaken the big gray bear."

"Huh?" Cregor questions.

Then during this, the other two guards come back with what appears to be their leader. A woman dressed in all white, normal looking with long gray hair, middle aged, and pale skin with white freckles on her face that compliment her white eye color.

She contrasts greatly with the dark scenery around her.

"What is it that you what from me now..." Her reverb voice and confident tone immediately speaks to Morlagon as he says to her, "I am Prince Morlagon of the Lesothian Nation from the Province of the Lion, and I am here as son of the ruler of the world to tell you and your people to let the Medaians keep the mountain they were made from, regardless of what of you all have lived there or not. If you don't make your stay with them peaceful, then stay here, unless you want to be amongst the hundred of dead men from your cave."

Almost feeling threatened, the woman introduces herself saying, "I am Queen Adessa of the Cavern Cities from the Dorianian tribe, and you come in here trying to tell the will of what happens between me and those fiends of people?"

With sudden anger filling her lungs with mentioning the Medaians, Morlagon replies with, "keep you and your rebels here and your people will have nothing fear."

Queen Adessa steps forward as her men guard her, but Morlagon stands well before her as she says, "you don't understand how much will and land my people have lost from the mountain."

"You can have any part of it below the middle line if you want some air from the Solvians?" Mashina states.

Queen Adessa then says, "we tried that, you fought it away."

"Well we will negotiate it, if you just stop sending rebels and actually speak to us." 

Stepping forward next to Morlagon now, Mashina speaks again saying, "we don't use the first to three levels of the mountain, only do we go there if we desperately need to, like for hunting when all our food has perished from avalanches. And to add, we use our snow birds to fly down the mountains."

Queen Adessa looks dead in Mashina's eyes before looking back to Morlagon, with him saying, "you two will corporate as a nation, and if you all try to attack the Medaians again, I'll have your whole nation destroyed. And honestly, look at this, look at where we are? I find it beautiful to stay in your majesty, there is nothing you need atop the mountain I'm sure, it seems your people living well enough, but for good measures I will send you all some resources."

With a snap of his fingers, he tells his men, "bring the body."

They nod their heads and make their leave up the stairs, coming back down with a ripped up body which they throw before the guards.

With Queen Adessa saying after showing a little smirk, "we will discuss case with Medaian people ourselves, no need to threaten us, we will make peace soon enough; you have humbled my people enough today."

With her guards grabbing the body and throwing it away into what looks like a pool of dry ice, Morlagon says right after, "I'm glad you understand, I will be sending my flyers to make sure every now and then that things go well, so with this, I'll leave you. Good day, your majesty."

With the crew, they all turn around and leave the Dorinian cave, making their way out, Mashina jumps out with the biggest smile on her face saying, "my people truly thank you." 

She hugs him as she says, "let us go up and celebrate."

"Only for the rest of the day we will, my people are leaving at dawn since our deal was made."

With a nod of the head, Cregor says after, "sorry the rest of us haven't been talking, they don't speak any language but ours." He laughs as Morlagon reminds him that it's okay.

Up on the mountain, which Morlagon calls cloud city as he and his army wear special masks to help them breathe so that they can converse, eat, and rest with the Medaians.

It was the morning after when Morlagon and his army made it down the mountain on their orpa's that Mashina and her men and women flew down with them. Flying through the snowy and cloudy sky once again, Morlagon manages to give Mashina a look as she turns to him, smiling at him as well.

And once landing down on the pathway to the mountain, they all gather with Mashina and her people before the mountain and Morlagon and his people standing opposite them.

"It was nice to spend time with you again, warrior Mashina, but I must return to my princely duties and affairs, so...Whenever we see each other again, just know that this time, it will be for a good occasion."

Mashina smiles at him and says, "It was nice spending time with you again, warrior Morlagon. And..." Walking up to him with a sly smile on her face, "I'm sure we will see each other again very soon."

With this she hugs him as they all watch, with them breaking the hug and Cregor coming up to Morlagon as Morlagon shakes his hand saying, "you be good to Mashina and your people."

"I will, your highness." He bows, throws his armor and backs up, getting back on his snow bird.

As Morlagon bows his head with Mashina doing the same, all the people say their goodbyes as Mashina says so last, looking as if wanting to say something else.

"What is it, Mashina?"

Looking down, playing with the snow she grabbed in her hands, and letting it fall off from between her gloved fingers, she looks up to him and says, "you should see everyone again, you have the resources and ability to. I feel that it would be very nice to see how everyone is doing, visiting their lands, seeing if anyone else has spouses, partners, children, kingdom growth, you know, all of that stuff." 

She smiles.

"I shouldn't be the only one you get in contact with again, they should all be visited too."

"Are you saying this occasion was also just a visit?"

She laughs a little, "no no, I mean, regardless of problems, they should all be visited by the leader of all the nations and us warriors."

Bringing a smirk on his face, he says to her, "that sounds fun, I will bring that news around."

Mashina smiles and hops onto her snow bird as Lunar hopes on after her. 

While doing this, she says, "bye Morlagon, I hope to see you again soon."

"We will, don't worry."

Then she smiles and with all her men and women, they fly off into the distance, making their way up the mountain.

From this, Morlagon and his army return to Lesothia and decide to have a celebration with large dancing and powerful singing for making new allies with the Medaians, showing off the power and greatness that the Creator has granted them of the Second Earth world.

And in a span of six months, the Lesothian kingdom became allies with the Medaians.
