In the chaos, tumbling trees were slowly swallowed by the night. Soldiers' war cries sounded like a lively bar. Elash's sparkling bow caught Holly's attention; her joy was back. Her face was like a car that had its lights replaced.
"Oh, how great. Sir Elash, sir!"
The injured man continued dragging his aching body towards them. He fell, but Holly was able to catch him. He was a sight for sore eyes. Serelay appeared, his heavy breathing revealed himself. Also, barely standing.
"As I was saying, the truth of the kingdom of Trellia." Asher said. Holly stopped him, saying they had worse things to worry about, struggling to carry Elash. "This is what we should worry about. It is why they were attacked."
"Please. Conti-" Elash was able to mutter. Holly sighed and used her own specialty skill, Erased Words. Everything within its bounds would be invisible to the outside world.
Asher started, unfazed by the mess around them. King Antrell did not come from Trellia, he inspired the nation's name but he was born in a far away land, across the Forsaken Space, Jehov. Where Asher came from. He described his favourite things about the land: the welcoming people, beautifully made temples and its selfless King and soldiers. He stopped reminiscing, and got back to the story.
Antrell was born in Jehov, with a mighty mission given by the King. To lead a land that would still be under the authority of the King. Antrell would not be a king. He would be, as he saw it, a lowly servant. He pretended to accept the plan, wanting a power the King would bestow; a Voice. An ability like the True King's, to create. With this, he was to do two things: build the kingdom and help its people. The kingdom he ended up making was Trellia, an affront to the True Kingdom.
"So what next?" Serelay said. What really occupied his mind was a way out of their problem.
" We must make haste in getting to Jehov."
Serelay looked over to Elash, he agreed.
They got out of the invisible area and started bolting. Serelay carrying Elash and Holly continually using her specialty. A harrowing task that would leave her as half-dead as Elash, but she had to sacrifice for the mission.
In the kingdom of Trellia, many enjoy chasing luxuries and lavish goods. Few have to fight for the kingdom and its psychotic king Antrell, even though they are helped by magical abilities he gives it wears away at one's soul. Elash and Serelay have a big job that'll take all they have but it might be easier than following Antrell's leadership.
