STARS OF DESTINY: League of Revelations

Star 9 - Farewell -

Princess Vallena and Captain Dunan return to the palace. Princess Vallena's face was delighted. "Thank you Captain Dunan, for buying the sandwich at the tavern."

"It is an honor for me to make the Princess this happy" replied Captain Dunan.

"Then, I will return to my room and memorize the sword techniques," Princess Vallena said to Captain Dunan who was standing at the entrance of the palace.

"Where are you?" reprimand Prince Melvin who just came out of the throne room and passed by Princess Vallena.

"I just got home from Mr. Locosmic's Blacksmith Shop. What's up, brother?" Princess Vallena scrunched her forehead.

"Don't you know that the Devourian Empire is about to launch an assault on the City of Arcabellum?" ask Prince Melvin.

"I haven't heard the news, how do you know?" ask Princess Vallena while opening the hood of her coat.

"Dad called me and also called you, but you weren't in your room" Prince Melvin's face looked irritated.

"Pardon me sister, I left without saying goodbye first" said Princess Vallena bowed down with guilt.

"Hurry to meet Dad, there's something he wants to tell you. Oh. and also stay away from Porta" Prince Melvin reminded as he passed.

Princess Vallena entered the king's throne room. There he found his father talking to a woman wearing a green and white dress, wearing a belt Hannya face with 3 swords, 1 Odachi Sword, 2 pieces of Katana Sword. The hairpin ornaments are gold and the hand protection of iron is golden black.

"Ah.. This is your student, Miss Eiko," said King Tremora as he stood when he saw Princess Vallena enter the throne room.

"Good day, Princess Vallena, long time no see" said Miss Eiko.

"Eh... Are you not Miss Eiko Masashi?, the daughter of the sword legend, Mr Masashi?" princess Vallena's expression was shocked.

"Truely, I am Eiko Kana Masashi" replied Miss Eiko.

"Why did you suddenly come here?, what about the elite army of the kingdom?" ask Princess Vallena.

"Your father asked me to practice your sword skills," Miss Eiko smiled.

"Then what about your other teammates?" ask Princess Vallena again.

Miss Eiko sighed as she said, "Since our kingdom is at peace, we return to our respective lives. Then when my father died a year ago, I decided to go back to farming in my father's garden."

Miss Eiko took her eyes off Princess Vallena, "Then my friends decided to part ways and make their dreams come true. I heard that Rexomillian has become the owner and manager of restaurants and bars in Arcabellum City, while Amellia has married and settled with her husband in Bellarum City."

"I think it's enough to remember the past, it's time to look to our future. Right now our kingdom has been haunted by the shadows of the Devourian Empire" King Tremora said.

"What?! So they're gonna attack us soon, Dad?" princess Vallena's face looked surprised.

"Not long. Now practice with your teacher, and guard your homeland!" king Tremora.

Princess Vallena quickly bent her knees to her feet before Miss Eiko, saying, "I'm ready to be your student, teacher."

"Then, let's follow me to learn the basic things of sword techniques. Your Highness King Tremora, I beg you to stay with your daughter" Miss Eiko bowed her body a little sign of paying homage to King Tremora. King Tremora nodded his head with a smile.

"We will attack the City of Arcabellum tonight through the Sura Forest. It is likely that there they have set up a trap to surround us. Then the hurling squad should get ready to hurl flint into the Sura Forest first. After the fire that burned down the forest had subsided enough, the entire army quickly entered into the Sura Forest and stormed the gate of Arcabellum City. Understood?!" exclaimed Commander Serphano.

"Ready, go!" boisterous all the soldiers.

"Commander Wu," said a general of the Devourian Empire named Dominic Zhang.

"General Zhang," replied Commander Serphano.

"I entrust this assault to you, don't disappoint me" said General Dominic.

"No need to worry, just leave it to me" Commander Serphano saluted General Dominic then passed towards his steed.

"All the troops, time for the attack!" commander Serphano exclaimed to the whole army marching behind his horse.

"The glory belongs to the Devourian Empire!" shouted the entire army as it stepped foot following Commander Serphano who was walking in front of them.

The sound of the pounding of the footsteps of the iron shoes echoed, making anyone who heard it would be daunted.

Today also shows its glory. In the City of Arcabellum, the door of Major Zero's house is knocked by an Kunoichi. He rushed to open the door.

"Well, it's you, Miss Himawari. What's the need to come here?" ask Major Zero.

"I and the rest of the ninja squads are doing the task given by the Governor of Vestigia to evacuate the entire population of the city towards a safe hiding place. I ask that your wife and children follow me to the hiding place" replied Himawari.

"Did something happen? Why so suddenly evacuate the entire population?" major Zero asked as he scrunched his forehead.

"One of the ninjas had seen the movement of the Devourian Empire's army on its way. It is expected that by midnight tonight they will be here, and you and your colleagues will be asked to gather in the residence of the Governor of Vestigia now!" himawari.

Major Zero immediately called his wife and three children. He told his wife what was going on.

His wife became sad and shed tears imagining the fate of her husband who would go to war again. He hugged Major Zero tightly with tears. "Please promise to come back and protect this kingdom, my dear," said his wife, accompanied by sobs. Major Zero returned his wife's embrace and said, "I will definitely come back again, don't worry. Take care of our children. Even if I don't come back, tell them that his father was a hero who died for his kingdom and his family."

His wife hugged Major Zero's large body more and more and more into her sobs.

"Come, there's a lot of wasted time. We'd better hurry to the hideout" Himawari took to Major Zero's wife with teary eyes.

Major Zero's wife let go of her arms, and Major Zero hugged and kissed her three children one by one with cries as if they were also afraid of losing her father.

"Dad," his youngest daughter tugged at his father's shirt as if inviting him along with them. "Dad has to go, son, you take care of your mother and your brothers, yes" said Major Zero who was holding her little daughter while shedding tears while smiling.
