Uncontested Grounds

Uncontested Grounds

Nov 27, 2023

Despite the many things to do within the town of Kens, they had to move forward onto Luitol as soon as possible, Uli and their parents did not live anywhere in Kens and hadn't been registered in the town. Not only that, they were live targets of Lyririe's commander, remaining within Kens' borders would be bad for the town, and the only way to solve the conflict would be to settle it.

Their original goal was simply to find all the missing people in their lives, but now they had to settle the score. Kezdar, Enkita, and Lilian all wondered if maybe they had ventured across the Choshire bridge somehow, if they couldn't find them in Luitol either, then what other place would they be in? The bridge was located on the outskirts of Luitol, many rumors sprung up from the town over the 10 years of Choshire.

Horrifying rituals, poor treatment of citizens, no work-life balance, but despite all that they hold themselves in high manners. Confident that they can control all of Choshire and beyond, without a second thought. 

All within Choshire wondered what kind of plans Luitol had for the world. 

The group had been left at the entrance by the gate of the Luitol Bridge, they were left with plenty of resources to make it across. The bridge was not long and due to trade deals with Luitol, they had carts set from the entrance to the end of the bridge. This was a great thing for the group as it meant they had an easy way to travel toward the town.

Regardless, they still wouldn't want to make any direct contact with any Luitol officials, since they were wanted by Lyririe and also fleeing from Krester, they weren't sure how they would be perceived. 

"Bro, I never thought I'd get this far into Choshire," Kezdar exclaimed. 

Lilian jumped in excitement, "I heard! I heard... THE SWEETS in Luitol are AMAZING, we need to get in that cart and RUSH there," she screamed in excitement.

Enkita watched them both, "It's nice Azura gave us so much information, but I'll miss Kens... everything here was awesome despite me being arrested for most of it," he laughed. 

They jumped into the cart with their bags and headed toward Luitol, due to the fast tracks built a year ago, they would be arriving at Luitol within an hour at most. They needed to move fast and that was probably their best bet. Luitol was uncontested grounds for them, unknown territory, they didn't know what kind of danger they were approaching, and neither did they know anyone there.

They had no information on Luitol as Kens and Krester did not have any public information other than rumors. As the cart rolled down the tracks, they watched the enormous path the bridge had, and the beautiful surroundings. "I heard their leader, Shamath? Shamhat? is pretty scary, but I think scary women are kind of, attractive," Lilian spoke.

Kezdar stared at Lilian with a worried look, "I- yeah? You like killers?" he questioned.

Enkita acted as if he heard nothing. "WELL. Not that I like women... I mean, they have an approach to things, you know? Like, they will tell you what they want" Lilian stuttered as her face became red. 

They suddenly became quiet, ignoring Lilian's comments, and continuing to live as if they heard nothing. Something weird could be seen in the distance, "What's that ahead? That yellow armored thing," Enkita pointed out. 

After some time of having been in the cart, someone was standing next to the cart tracks, and they had yellow armor covering their entire body. Suddenly, it blew up the tracks they were heading toward, "Jump out!" Enkita yells in the moment. 

Enkita covers the ground with a smooth water surface to soften the impact of their fall at high speed, "That fucker blew up the tracks," Kezdar exclaimed. 

The cart made it to the end of the tracks and spiraled out into the abyss of clouds underneath them, "If Enkita hadn't yelled at us in time, we would've been in who knows where," Lilian exclaimed while she caught her breath. 

The fully armored knight walked slowly toward them as light engulfed the area, "I am instructed to kill you both," a female-sounding voice could be heard. The group continued to take steps back as it tried to walk slowly toward, "I cannot play games." 

The armored knight cast a massive lightning strike down on the group, throwing them across the ground and hurting them a lot. Enkita and Kezdar quickly engaged their Harpes even while hurt, "Who are you? Are you with Lyririe?!" Enkita yelled.

The armored knight made lightning strikes hit spots around them as she grew closer in a swift manner, two swords appeared in her hand, she slid next to Kezdar and left two slices on his arm. "Meet your end, criminals." the knight declared.

Kezdar screamed in pain but he wouldn't let those slices back him down, he made a fire wall, making her slide through it, but her armor didn't suffer a single scratch. Unknowingly, Enkita was also hit with a slice across his leg. The armored knight acted quickly, despite having heavy armor.

Lilian looked at the back of the armored knight, "Enkita, I have an idea," Lilian spoke through the Hegiraas she hid behind a rock. Enkita is barely able to stand, "This is a Harpe user.  A very dangerous one, we need some sort of plan to escape this," Enkita spoke through the Hegira. 

"I know. Hold back there, there's a keyhole in her back, and I wonder if that opens the armor. You have water abilities and I was wondering, maybe you could make a key with water?" Lilian communicated, however; the rock was blasted away and she was thrown right next to the cliff.'

"Lilian!" Enkita screamed. If Lilian fell down the cliff, only death came to mind. Kezdar overheard the plan and rushed toward the knight, pushing her head on, "I will distract her, FUCKING do it!" Kezdar yelled at Enkita through the Hegira.

Kezdar made lava flood underneath her further distracting the knight, she used light to quickly traverse away from the flood of lava; however, Kezdar responded by making lava walls around him, and making her go through them without expecting the end result: a fist of lava directly to her face. 

Pushing her toward the ground, once again falling directly into their setup. A conveniently placed water bed with a key directly entered the direction she fell onto. The helmet compartment in her armor opened, showing the truth underneath. "Are you Eve? Weren't you dead!?" Enkita exclaimed. 

 Light engulfs the girl, who they knew as Eve. She was left in a bunker and now she's fighting them as an armored knight? What was going on? As the light took her, they were only further confused. 

"There's no way, right?" Kezdar watched as Eve vanished away.  

Enkita got on his knees, troubled as to what was going on. Kezdar also stared into the distance, Lilian sitting on the path as she watched them see their friend, seemingly teleported away.
