"When the time comes, I'll be lying here resting my eternity of peace." Esther murmured while sliding her hands through the beautiful green grass. She took a deep breath to let the fresh air rush over her. She knew that on this serene mountain where she found sanctuary, that this bit of land would someday become a magnificent kingdom, and when that time does come, she would still be here, Waiting for the serenity she desperately longed for. Will the Young God be able to find peace after a millennia of chaos? Will she be able to find a Love to whom she can finally protect and unveil her hidden Heavenly immense powers?
"Heave Ho! Heave Ho! Heave Ho!"
A loud cracking scream of soldiers in excruciating pain, hoisting the massive wooden trunk with weapons and armor that they had prepared for the war.
The Evedel empire has been at strife with the neighboring kingdom, the Rakeesha empire. These two kingdoms were among the most outstanding of the world's seven great empires, but they also have the fiercest rivalries of all history.
Because of its size and massive gold and diamond mines, the Evedel Empire holds all of the worlds largest assets. They also have one of the greatest seas in the kingdom, and they also have talented mages and well-constructed high base fortifications.
The Rakeesha Empire also possesses wide spectrum mines, including gold, emeralds, and sapphires. They also have the best mages and warriors, and has one of the most formidable attack force in the kingdom.
Because of their strongest advantages, they are likely to be in such a competition for years, and neither of their rulers are willing to concede the fight.
The Seven Great Empires were: The Kingdom of Argenia, which has the main asset for a variety of delicious delights; The Thryn Kingdom, which has the finest and brightest Magicians of all time; and Also the Kiren Kingdom, which has the most mystical beasts and creatures, Fairies and Elves. The Luite Kingdom has the largest academy and all representatives from across all kingdoms study there. Last but not least, The Aura Kingdom possesses the greatest assets for dark magicians and witches whose power knows no bounds and it also has the most mysterious secrecy in the world.
"Charge!!!!"
The General Captain of the Rakeesha Empire commands his troops to attack the Evedel Empire's base stronghold. The magicians and warriors put a lot of effort to unleash a formidable onslaught against the Evedel Empire's defenses. However, it appears inefficient.
"Oh look, they done it again. They planned an attack, and it is still pointless."
The Evedel Empire's Guard Captain said while gazing towards the foot of the fortress fortification.
"They never give up, do they? No matter how many times they attempt, they can't break down the barriers in any way." Levi sighed and rolled her eyes.
"The genius magician Levi, who doesn't even sleep to figure out how to make the walls even stronger, are you still stressed off because of those idiots?, c'mon cheer up! hahaha" Rio said laughing.
"Oh, shut up, they're so annoying with their crappy magic." Levi said mockingly as she fled to the troops.
"Are they not gonna stop?, I still have a swordsmanship classes to attend." Lyra asked.
"I'm not sure Sis, maybe a few hours?" Levi replied.
"I really don't have time for this nonsense, I have to get going." Lyra said as she marched out of the tower door.
"Even Lyra can't afford to remain here even though she likes fighting, those Rakeesha troops are ridiculous." Rio chuckled.
"Ugh, damn right," Levi groaned.
The Rakeesha Empire began attacking a few years ago, when the rivalry between the new monarchs of that age began, and the two kings became envious of each other's empire.
Today, the day of the empire's fighting, and the people have become accustomed to it, to the point that they believe it is futile to continue fighting.
After a fruitless attack, they were exhausted and retreated.
"I guess they're finished now, they're preparing to leave." Captain Aldo of the Evedel Empire's Guard announced.
"Those poor soldiers must have been exhausted by their dimwitted king." one of the head magicians said.
"I know right, so much drama." Levi replied exhaustedly.
"All troops prepare for withdrawal! The enemy has retreated!" Captain Aldo commanded.
Because the anticipated cliché invasion had been conducted, both kingdoms began to seize all of their weapons and equipment as they retreated.
Meanwhile, in the mountains of Kingdom Liberia, the marvelous land yet to be discovered, lives a wonderful and omnipotent woman.
"Esss! Helloooo!" Jira exclaimed as she dashed towards Esther.
"Slowdown, you'll hurt yourself if you keep running around like that." Esther said worriedly.
"I'm sorry....huuh! running is so exhausting...wait a minute, let me just take a breath." Jira exclaimed as she took a deep breath.
"Oh okay, is there anything wrong that makes you rush like this though?" Esther asked curiously.
"Ohhh...the Farmers seemed to have a crop problem, well if it is alright with you, they have requested me to seek you if you could help them." Jira asked, hopingly fiddling her fingertips.
"I thought the entire world was on fire, that's why you rushed like that. No problem, I'll help. Just lead the way." Esther chuckled.
Esther and Jira rushed into the Farmers' land, and as they approached the field, they noticed farm owners discussing what to do with the withered crops.
"We're hereeeee! Esther's hereeee!" Jira exclaimed enthusiastically to the farmers.
"Oh my lord, our dearest Esther, could you please help us again? The crops seemed to be having problem these days." one of the elderly farmers said.
"What seems to be the problem, Uncle Sil?" Esther asked.
"The crops are wilting without us knowing what is happening, the same condition happened on nearby farm land, we don't know what we should do." Uncle Sil said sadly.
"Let me take a look." Esther said.
"Ohh my such a kind hearted angel, go on ahead dear." Aunt Lina gasped, relieved.
Esther looked at the crops, and as she got closer, her golden gleaming Azurin eyes detected a dark aura encircling it. She used her detection alice to figure out where these black auras were emanating from. the plants were withering due to something devouring it underground.
She use her fast steps through the abandoned stable and found a monstrous, hideous demonic pig devouring the essence of the plants. Esther took a step closer, opening her palm to unleash Clarent's sword, her hands glimmering as the golden blade illuminated the area and pierced the demon with her weapon. When she glanced at the monster, she was astounded to discover that it was a cursed creature, not a demon.
"Thank you, Young God, for releasing me to my endless Hunger," the demon muttered as its dark aura vanished into the air.
Esther saw a glittering light on the creature's body, it appears that it is relieved that its curse has now been lifted and it can now be at peace.
Esther smiled as she stared at the empty stable.
"Estherr....Esther....the plants are no longer withering, they...they have regained their vitality! Thank you Esther, Thank you." Jira rushes through her and cries with joy.
"Thank you, my dear, if you hadn't come, we wouldn't have known what to eat in the coming winter." Uncle Sil said gratefully, with a tear in his eye.
The other farmers were overjoyed as well, for they could now store food for the land. They express their gratitude by thanking her and giving her crops.
She left the farmer's farm land after the uproar and is on her way to her peaceful home up the hill.
