Zjjan Master 101 sp05 02 07, The Clash Echoes From the Pas

The Guilty, the Lost Piece, and the Seeker, flashback: "Eladin, long before you were born, I was but a cruel king. Feared by anyone... until... until... an unblessed one, discovered a certain ability that protect him from harmed. And he had power surpassing mine.

"But I of course, seeing them as but a pest, no... Actually... the me before... I wasn't able to accept that them, who were just plain norim could surpass us, the gifted one.

"He proposed to me about the legality of his technique in the schools' academic to teach for those unblessed norim yet I was enrage... after he told me... one person can't master two specializations at the same time, for while the person is growing it hinders him from achieving the necessity of his technique.

"And yes, a battle between me and him broke out. I was unable to defeat him. But I did found a way. And it was the way of trickery. I forced hostage his love ones and relatives by the exchange of his death."

Tears flow from the king eyes. His body is shaking. He cries. "I, I wasn't' able to find the documents about his technique. By, by... that time I raged and forced to torture every single person of his relatives. And, and it was not fruitful. I was so depressed, so in despair. What had I done?

The Revival of a Dragon, flashback: "Woman, the current Dandia can go to hell. And for that to happen, I shall remove you to this place."

"You're so assured that you can beat me?"

"You stand no chance against me." Both persons begin their offensive. With her quickness, Cally is already behind him. Yet without looking back, Viegro holds her wrist. In the midair, his body revolves once and he slams the woman's back into the ground. He stands and unsheathes his blade. "This is your end—" He stabs her neck's...

...nearby ground. "—your end as being a guardian to this place. And your new life is to follow me. My mates are trying to change the kingdom. A kingdom that is worth for your protection and will acknowledge your and your tribe's efforts and dedication."

His words give a sudden tears on her eyes... as she realizes about his intention.

Founder's Proclamation, flashback: A man from the council speaks, "You choose violence. Tch, and how do you intend to bury us alive? You should be grateful you're working as a highest official instead."

"Hear me, I don't want my peaceful life to be dragged away."

"Even if Kilie wants your protection?" has asked by the prince.

How did he known Kilie? "Harm her and I shall destroy the kingdom myself. I'm warning you, don't make me an enemy."

"You'll destroy the kingdom that your father protected?"

"What do you know about me?"

Another man in the council speaks again as the place halts from trembling, "We protected your identity, but that doesn't mean, our royalties are not authorized to know. And of course, he knows you. Son of Viegro Diarke, Jaino Diarke."

The Curse Black Swords, flashback: "Ritzel, there are few people who can touch both of these swords. You are the second that I meet. And of course, the first one is I myself. It means, you are suitable enough to wield these swords."

She finds his hand no blood from bleeding and unharmed. She thinks, Is he a medou?

"Ritzel, you have mastered the swords' basic a necessity for my lineage's technique."

And the messy replies, "But, I wasn't able to master all of the hand grips."

"Mastering one of the hand grips is suffice. The sole goal of swords' basic is to expand options in the battle, either a clash of battalions, a duel, or any situation.

"You know, the author of my lineage's technique wanted justice about the imbalance of all the norims treatment. So he pursued to surpass a mere norim inability and his progressive efforts born my family's technique. But the old cruel king many centuries ago denied the author's ascension. The old king sent out assassins to silence the author of my lineage's technique. The author, he was my ancestor. That's why we preserve our treasure in the silence in hope we can be accepted by most of the norim races. And I shall bestow you what your mother wanted me to teach you."

Failed Advice, Flashback: For the meantime, Jaino eats barely while staring at the sky; securing the surrounding by just listening while reminiscing his past; a village was attacked and burning that not many people could visually see the assailants.

He thinks, Father, thanks for saving me. I can assured you, I'll live by your anticipation and ambition…

The Revival of the Dragon, flashback: She asks, "For what reasons are you doing this?"

He smiles at her. "I'm doing my father's expectation. To protect my mother's duty, to protect the current Dandia. And to protect the current royal family, including you of course," His words have stunned Vilyarin.

Sai Mea thinks, She is a royal blood?

To Vilyarin's lips, Jaino lands his lips again.

Sai Mea has witnessed, at the overgrowing mutation, dark huge wings spread widely. Giant dark claws surface outside the mutation. Sai Mea has her eyes wide open to see, at them, the claw swings down, collapsing the floor of the throne.

—End of Intro

A veteran man, Martinis Digs, an elite of the underworld, runs through the rooftop of many buildings. Chasing behind him, the young woman, Mefany Emerald, Sharron's Reliever, and the male, Jerome Zabital, a follower of Samuel Larigan, they both stop as Martinis has, atop the northeastern wall. Far from his location, a bloodbath woman, Niala Silviray, is lying face-down and unconscious in the floor.

Mefany speaks in a low voice, "That's Olyn's subordinate."

Jerome scrutinizes at the situation. He whispers at distance, "If that man do funny things, attack him. I'll save Niala with all I can."

All of them hear a deafening roar of a monster from afar. Those three, their attention diverts at the source of the sound.

What the hell is that, has thought by Maritinis Digs. Seeing at his chasers preoccupied and astounded, he jumps down outside the wall of Jelfyr.

Near the southeastern wall, Zahamara, who has witnessed the winged creature above the ruined throne of the queen, he speaks, "What is really happening?"

A voice of a veteran man— "This might be what your son has been feared of," has replied by Salvan Untalban.

The fifth exceptional general follows up, "No comments here."

Somewhere inside the sharp tall tower, scared castle guards and members of the royal squad are rushing, running looking for path to escape from the place. A frightened member of the royal squad reports to Maritis, "Mistress—" he pants and pants "—a huge monster has destroyed the throne and now is nesting the place. Jaino wants all of us to escape before it becoming more stronger by devouring us all!"

I don't know if I should believe it. The loud roar is real. Still, considering the people running away from this place—

Maritis, my dear.

Mom?

Believe of what your man has said. You are all in a dangerous situation. A terrifying creature is in the throne. I hope Jaino and the prince are okay.

Thank you mom. To the member of the royal squad, she tasks, "Then continue the evacuation. As possible, don't leave any alive-and-endured person insight."

"Yes, mistress!"

Near the northwest wall, Olyn gazes at the black winged creature roaring again and again. For some reason, I don't have any premonition. Jaino, our fate is in your hand.

Among the curious onlookers in an evacuation site, the tomboyish Judith thinks, Despite of others don't know of your struggles and accomplishments. Despite others don't know how you saved their lives many times. The stories about your adventures came from my butler, your man, I believe them all. I'd witnessed your efforts in Asteron Village. I'd heard your success in the operation to end a calamity. I wasn't there to witness them all. But I believe them. You saved me twice. You saved many people right in my eyes. Jaino, don't stop. And please be safe. My only friend and my true love. My savior. She closes her eyes. Her hands she unites.

Near the southwest wall, the area in shattered state; the missy Ritzel, the woman Criselia, and Jesifer; the three of them are speechless. They are watching at the black dragon, roaring atop the sharp tall tower.

In the northeast, a noble, a client of Mike, asks to Renze, member of Jaino's division, "What's happening inside?"

"I think, it's better for us to remain outside. Another monster has appeared. It destroyed the throne of our queen."

"I see. In your opinion, can we win?"

"I don't know..."

Hearing their conversation, Mike remains silent. I'd seen how Jaino fight once. He's no ordinary norim. He speaks to Renze, "Soldier, I approve at your opinion. Let's remain outside in the kingdom."

Gazing at the winged creature atop the sharp tall tower, Jesifer demands Criselia, "Let's head their quickly. I must save my brother." Realizing Criselia idled staring at the black dragon, she loudly speaks, "What are you waiting for? Please, make haste!"

"Nope," has replied by Criselia. "I don't wanna...

"...You stand no chance against that evolution. I don't have a chance either—"

"If you won't cooperate, I go there myself!" She wields the giant blade and lies its back to her shoulder. Barring at her path, Criselia has stood a distance from her. "What are you doing!" has asked by Jesifer.

"Keeping you safe." Criselia smiles.

"You are not protecting me! You're hindering me from saving my brother!"

"You are a hotheaded girl. So impatient. Try to calm yourself, Jes."

The dragon roars again. Thick and light-gray clouds are gathering in the sky. And above the dragon, a black huge ball emerges. Its darkness spreads into the clouds.

Jesifer rages. To Criselia, Jesifer dashes and she swings her giant blade. Her attack has stopped by Criselia's hand holding the giant blade's cutting edge. The queen turns speechless. How comes? I'm sure I swing it by the wind, full force. She listens at Criselia,

"Jes, if you want to save everyone, cooperate with Jaino. And I... shall be... watching you guys..." She smiles.

At the grassy plain, Vilyarin surrenders herself. Her palm she lands on Jaino chest. She distances her lips from Jaino lips. She sees, a necklace has its existence on Jaino's neck. Her eyes looks at Jaino face. Confused and astounded, she gazes down. Her two fingers she runs on her lips again.

Holding the necklace currently equipped, Jaino thinks, Spirit of void?

...Spirit of void?

...Hey guys?

...So, turning them to items, won't allow me to communicate at them anymore... I guess I have to believe that this necklace can suppress my rage, and retain my conscious away from being berserk. That's what I wanted. My spirit of dark, light, and void, I'll you use guys for the goodness of everyone.

He speaks as Vilyarin jerks and recovers her strictness posture quickly, "You guys, please take care with the prince." Seeing Sai Mea nods, he continues, "I be going now." To Vilyarin— "Thank you." —has made Vilyarin gulps in hiding. And Jaino disappears in the place.

Sai Mea asks, "Are you really a royal blood?"

Vilyarin replies, "I am the second daughter of Yaume."

"I see... Thank you my highness and forgive me for my rudeness." Seeing Vilyarin smiles a bit; to the person lying in the grass and covered with blood, Sai Mea holds the man's hand. "My prince, my dear... be well for us, for the people of Dandia."

Below the sharp tall tower of Jelfy, in all four bridges, scared castle guards and members of the royal squads are running out the place. Taila carries her unconscious sister, Shaira.

Holding two (a black and a white) swords, Jaino appears on her side. She states, "Good thing that you're well."

He replies, "Same to you. I have a task for you." Seeing her smiles, he continues, "With your psychic, inform every person on Jelfyr, to leave the kingdom. The thing above the tower might perish us all."

She smiles again.

And so the news causes panic to every person in the kingdom. In the four evacuation sites, everyone runs rampant to escape. The castle guards, the soldiers of Zahamara, the shadow army, and the mercenary guild assist the people to escape. To the northeastern gate and to the southwestern gate of the kingdom, the guidance leads the people for their salvation.

Atop the tower, in the ruined throne of the queen, the dragon roars. And to the escaping herd the dragon breathes darkness. In afar, Jaino swings his black sword, banishing the dark flame, and cleaving the creature's face. The dragon recovers and roars again. Black holes are appearing in the sky. Surfacing from them, countable numbers of solid earth are about to fall down.

In Jaino's thought, Father, guide me.
