5 The Awakening
In the Empire, there are ten ranks that can be given to a Citizen, once that citizen reaches the 1st rank he/she will be able to receive an honorary noble status. The rank 1 citizen may be promoted into a noble by going through military service and obtaining the lowest rank of nobility, the 7th rank called Knight.
Every 6 months the Empire starts a recruitment to enlist citizens. The recruits are to first undergo special training before they are dispatched to various parts of the empire to slay beasts and protect the territories of the empire.
"Citizens of Zone 9! The recruitment of military personnel will begin tomorrow at the Battle Arena at 7:00 in the morning." A manly voice alerted everyone as his voice reached every nook and corner of Zone 9 using a loud speaking device.
At this moment in time, Cray was doing his own preparations before he left for the Battle Arena. "35, 36, 37, 38....39...40!" He then lied face up after doing his final set of stretches. He had just finished a beginner level set of exercises that are said to be part of what trainee's encounter at the military. He while panting, remembered to head towards the Battle Arena at six in the morning for him to be early in case of anything that might happen to him while on the way. He can't afford to miss it after all.
He then thought of the reason why he's doing this. "Hannah...." I'll definitely return the favour that you guys showed me. He then remembered that he'd promise to go to Hannah's house to have a big feast before he left for the military.
While he was still lost in his thoughts he started to become a bit worried as he touched the necklace that hangs on his neck. He could still vividly see the figure of the girl who told him about his identity, about his real father and her warning of supposedly incoming enemies. "Ugh... Why doesn't it feel like a lie? Even though what she said is clearly absurd, it still makes me uncomfortable."
Cray then started to undress as he headed towards the bathroom to take a shower. But as he started to turn the knob he then felt dizzy. He had accidentally slipped and bumped his head on the floor. Blood started to accumulate as he lied there without moving. Just like that, he had lost consciousness.
In the midst of this, the necklace that was pressed against his chest started to emit a faint light. It then slowly began to shine brighter. then came a soft humming sound it slowly floated as if aiming for his heart it was just an inch away from stabbing its pointy tip. A strange mantra suddenly started echoing out from the necklace. "An eye for an eye, A tooth for a tooth! I'll slay your lies and show the world truth!" Then the light gradually enveloped his body then it covered the whole room.
Meanwhile, Hannah was just outside the door as she was asked to check on Cray as he might have already forgotten about the feast. As she was about to call out to Cray she saw a bright light that suddenly stretched out towards the heavens. the light didn't seem to show any signs of stopping soon so she went inside to look at the source of the light. Surprised she saw Cray on the floor with blood.....Lots of it scattered. Alongside some dark murky substances that seemed to ooze out from Cray's body.
"Cr-CRAY! What happened to you? Cray, please wake up! Oh no! Cray!" She repeatedly called out his name but upon a closer look, his body seemed to be fine without any hint of injury. In fact, it looked like his body a bit better than she remembered.
The light that shone brightly suddenly stopped shining after a minute, but that was enough for those people who saw it from far away. To some selected minority they rejoiced, for this was a sign of the return of the son of an Einder. However, there was also a group of people who were infuriated for this was a sign of impending danger to the empire, the last time this happened was 200 years ago when half of the empire was in the enemy's hands and was seemingly about to completely fall apart.
In a far-off island, a certain man was looking at the sky. "Clan Head! Have you seen the light? Isn't this what you were looking out for 16 years ago?" An elder had reported to a man who has a very muscular build yet still looks so noble and elegant. "Elder Bai, I have clearly seen it, prepare our men! Tiss the sign, the fall of the empire, and the start of the beacon of hope to us! Call out to our other allies! We must secure the Einder descent at all cost!" Just like how a ripple will appear if a stone was thrown into a calm pond, the whole island was filled with a never before seen excitement.
A similar thing was happening in the Capital when a man covered with heavy looking armour was reporting to the current emperor. "LeBran Hanz Brintin Emperor, Son of the Heavens, Almigh-"
"Spare me the honorifics Brian, Is this about the enigmatic pillar of light?" A man who seemed to be in the prime of his life replied to the man wearing heavy armour.
"Yes, your majesty. I'm afraid that this was what the late emperor had warned us about. It was said that 200 years ago a similar thing had happened and that was the sign that destruction is coming."
"SURELY YOU JEST!" The man gave Brian a strange look and started to laugh out loud. "My great empire? Be it the heavens none can fell the empire as long as I am still alive! Find out the source of the light! I'll show just how foolish it is to even think of it as something just because it has managed to scare off the empire of 200 years ago." The man had a crazed look on his face as he then started to make various preparations and plans. As the man had been smiling crazily while contemplating about his thoughts, the man who wore the armour felt the chills as he stares at the person he is serving. He thought on the back of his mind that it was a good thing that he wasn't an enemy of this person. Even the thought of being one made him shudder.
