Bloody Rebellion

In the great council hall of the Shadow King, the final moments of the council had now begun to take shape.The king of the north, Varyn, scanned the surroundings with his eyes and said, "This rebellion will reach even innocent people, the great rebellion took the name 'Bloody Rebellion' because of this."King Cypron, with an expression not too harsh, said, "We all know what happened in the last rebellion, but the situation requires this."The scene changes, and now it is the turn of the cold and merciless lands of the north...

Mythos's Broken Heart and Rebellion:

With the sound of his footsteps echoing in the cold corridors of the ice ruins, Mythos sank into deep thoughts. Years ago, the traces of the betrayal he experienced while leaving the Iron Kingdom still felt fresh. As the leader of a rebellion against Jorah Iron's oppressive rule, he had once been abandoned by the people he trusted and declared an enemy. But now, he was filled with hatred and a desire for revenge against his old friends and enemies.

The Rebellion in the Iron Kingdom:

The cold and sharp air of the Iron Palace was like a harbinger of the approaching storm. The capital of the Iron Kingdom was enveloped by the strict security measures under Jorah Iron's rule. These measures seemed to be taken for the safety of the people, but deep down, they had created a mechanism of oppression and control. Mythos was seeing this situation and stepped forward with determination to confront Jorah. The two powerful leaders faced each other for a calm yet tension-filled discussion.

Mythos: (With a determined voice) Jorah, your strict policies and security measures are taking away the freedom and peace of the people. There is a soldier at every corner. People are living in fear. Peace cannot be achieved this way.Jorah Iron: (Cold and stern) Mythos, your naive idealism endangers the safety of the people. Our duty is to protect our people and keep them safe. We must take every necessary measure for this. Our enemies are everywhere, and the safety of our people is above everything. In the past, people could not leave their homes at night due to the chaos and unsafe environment. Now, there are only soldiers at night. Why are they afraid of their own soldiers? This is nothing but the work of a group of conspirators.

Mythos: (With a rebellious tone) Sacrificing people’s freedom to ensure safety? This is unacceptable. The people should be free and live their own lives. These oppressive policies only breed more anger and hatred. People are being chained under the name of safety. Homes are constantly inspected, with the suspicion of harboring enemies.Jorah Iron: (Stern and resolute) I will make every sacrifice necessary for the safety of the people. Yes, perhaps we have strict policies, perhaps we have to give up some freedoms. But this is to protect the lives and future of our people. Your rebellious thoughts only bring chaos and destruction.

Mythos: (Emotional and angry) The chaos and destruction are brought by your oppressive rule. People want their freedom back. They don’t need oppression to feel safe. The way to provide them with true safety and peace is by restoring their freedom.Jorah Iron: (Narrowing his eyes) What you don’t understand is how dangerous our enemies are. They are watching for our weaknesses. Giving the people back their freedom means opening the door wide to our enemies. We must be strong and resolute.

Mythos: (Stubbornly) True strength comes from earning the trust and love of the people. Chaining them to protect them only creates more enemies. We should draw our strength from the support of the people, not their fear.Jorah Iron: (With a cold smile) Then you and I are warriors of different paths, Mythos. My path is a strict and safety-focused rule. Yours is freedom and chaos. But remember this, history will recall the strong. I will do whatever it takes to keep them safe.

Mythos left the room under Jorah’s stern gaze. This discussion had once again revealed how opposed their views were. The thoughts of rebellion in Mythos’ mind had grown even stronger. The warrior standing against Jorah’s oppressive rule was determined to fight for the freedom of his people.

Just as Mythos turned to leave, Jorah grabbed him and said with great anger

"My father sacrificed his life, the things he could have lived, to maintain order in this country. If anyone dares to covet his efforts, I will crush them myself," he said. Then, "Now get out of my palace. If I’m not dismissing you from your post right now, it’s because of your successes on the field."

13 years ago, the "Bloody Rebellion" took place:

Mythos was one of the most trusted generals under Jorah Iron’s command. However, as his concerns grew about Jorah’s authoritarian rule and the dangerous use of technological advancements, Mythos began to experience an inner conflict. The people of the Iron Kingdom were living in unease and fear caused by technology. Mythos decided to stand against Jorah’s dictatorship and rallied other rebels to launch a great uprising.

Shadow King Marc Slaw and Jayce:

The roots of the rebellion stemmed from a broader conspiracy involving the Shadow King Marc Slaw and a great inventor named Jayce. The Shadow King knew that Mythos was displeased with Jorah’s actions and had long been planning a possible seduction. Marc was the Shadow King, and Jayce was one of the most skilled inventors serving the Iron Kingdom. While Jayce served the Iron Kingdom, he created technological innovations and strengthened the kingdom. However, Jayce’s creations were being misused by Jorah for military purposes.

In one of the dark rooms of the ice ruins, Marc Slaw, Jayce, and Mythos were holding a secret meeting. The faint sound of the wind coming from outside the castle heightened the gravity of the meeting.

Marc Slaw: (Breaking the silence) The reason we are holding this meeting is that we can no longer tolerate the cruel rule of the Iron Kingdom. We need to start a rebellion to overthrow Jorah Iron’s oppressive rule. Jayce, with our technological innovations, we are strong, but it’s not enough. Mythos, with your leadership, we can successfully carry out this rebellion.Jayce: (Nodding) Yes, Marc is right. Jorah has military power and technological superiority, but we have our intelligence and will. Mythos, with your guidance, we can unite the people and convince them to fight.Mythos: (With determination) Thank you for your support. Starting a rebellion against the cruel rule of the Iron Kingdom has been my dream for a long time. However, for this rebellion to succeed, we must absolutely plan carefully and earn the trust of the people. Marc, with your shadow agents, we can gather information from the inside. Jayce, we can develop our technological tools and strengthen our defense mechanisms.

Marc Slaw: (Smiling) Yes, our shadow agents are everywhere. We have all kinds of information to learn Jorah’s weak points and flaws. I will do everything necessary to organize the people and start the rebellion. We have been secretly building the communication for this plan for a long time, and finally, we will realize it, and you will rise as an honorable hero who defied the oppressive rule; you will rise as the Iron Emperor.

Jayce: (With a serious expression) We must develop our technological tools and gain superiority in battle. With our energy shields, defense systems, and communication devices, we can stand against Jorah’s army. However, we must earn the trust of the people and gain their support. Mythos, with your leadership, this can be possible.

Mythos: (With shining eyes) Yes, together we can start this rebellion. We must unite the people and give them hope and courage. We must fight to overthrow Jorah’s cruel rule and regain our freedom. We must trust each other in this struggle.Marc and Jayce decided to manipulate Mythos to end Jorah’s dictatorship and ensure technology was used in the right hands. Marc used his shadow agents to show Mythos the oppression and cruelty in the Iron Kingdom. Jayce provided Mythos with the technological tools needed to break free from Jorah’s control.

Agent Eryx

Among Mythos’ men, there was a highly skilled agent: Eryx. Eryx appeared to be one of Mythos’ most trusted men, but in reality, she was a loyal agent of Jorah Iron. From the beginning, Eryx had gained Mythos’ trust, and Mythos had even fallen in love with Eryx. She was the most beautiful and skilled female warrior in the group. At times, she grew close to Mythos, hugged him, and they talked until morning about marrying after the rebellion. Perhaps Eryx had fallen in love with him too? But fate did not will it so. She had sworn loyalty to King Jorah. In the end, her sense of duty surpassed her love, and though it pained her greatly, she continued to spy for the Iron King.

Under the shadows of the Iron Castle, there was an unease, a harbinger of the approaching storm. As rumors of rebellion spread, fear had taken hold across the Iron Kingdom. When news arrived that the rebellion was about to begin, Queen Molys thought of her son, 5-year-old Lordhair, with deep worry. Lordhair, who had been visiting his uncle’s castle, was on his way back to the capital. 

However, Marc had learned of this and set his shadow agents into motion. Marc’s shadow agents had intercepted Lordhair’s path. Queen Molys learned of this from her spies. At that moment, with the Iron King at a diplomatic meeting, she took action immediately. Molys took on the task of protecting her son and set out, gathering all her strength.

Queen Molys embarked on the journey wearing a medallion (Fortune) that emitted a purple aura and carried human emotions, dressed in a black gown, a majestic crown, and with a microeye in her eye. Marc and Mythos were ready to confront her with their magical power and superior sword skills.

When they reached Lordhair’s location, they faced Marc and Mythos. Queen Molys stood before them, surrounded by her purple aura. The medallion adapted to every situation and fulfilled its wearer’s thoughts.

Marc: (Harshly) Molys, how much longer can you resist? This rebellion was started against your oppressive rule. You won’t be able to protect your son.Mythos: (Drawing his sword) "Your oppression is crushing the people, Molys. Today, this place will be your end."

Queen Molys: (With a majestic voice) "I am here for my son and my people. You will only bring destruction. Safety comes before everything."The battle began. Queen Molys’ purple aura protected her from magical attacks. The medallion (Fortune) instantly fulfilled Molys’ thoughts. Marc and Mythos attacked with their magical powers. Marc’s spells strained Molys’ aura. Mythos’ sword skills tried to breach Molys’ defenses.

Marc’s spells began raining down on Queen Molys as black lightning and fireballs. Molys repelled these attacks with a purple shield provided by her medallion. However, Marc increased his magical power, continuing his assault and pushing Molys to her limits.Mythos: (Attacking with his sword) Molys, today’s fight will be your end!Mythos’ sword, emitting a beam of light enhanced by magic, advanced toward Molys. Molys quickly stepped back and swung her sword to parry the attack. But Mythos’ attacks kept coming one after another. Molys tried to resist these assaults with the speed and strength provided by her medallion.

Queen Molys: (Angrily) You will pay the price for the cruelty you’ve inflicted on my people!Molys counterattacked with the power granted by her medallion. Her purple aura spun around her like a storm, striking magical blows against her enemies. However, Marc’s bloodlust and Mythos’ determination left Molys in a dire situation.

At that moment, a metallic roar echoed from the sky. Commander Zelcron’s high-tech Blitzkrieg army was arriving to help. Armed with advanced weaponry, this army could change the course of the battle. Zelcron’s soldiers were equipped with laser rifles and energy shields.Before Zelcron’s army reached the battlefield, Marc and Mythos’ attacks continued relentlessly. Molys’ medallion (Fortune) succumbed to Marc’s dark energy and betrayed her. When Molys felt this betrayal, she made one final move to protect her son. However, she fell powerless against the combined assault of Marc and Mythos. Molys took her last breath trying to save her son.

Fortune, of its own will, detached from Molys’ neck and surrendered itself to Marc.Mythos: (Triumphantly) This is Molys’ end!

As Mythos aimed his sword at Lordhair, just as he was about to strike;

Commander Zelcron and the high-tech Blitzkrieg army arrived. But it was too late for Queen Molys. Lordhair, however, was saved thanks to Zelcron’s army.

When the battle ended, Marc and Mythos retreated. Queen Molys’ heroic struggle and sacrifice for her people ended in tragedy. Yet, Lordhair’s survival kept the Iron Kingdom’s glimmer of hope alive.

Jorah’s Ruthlessness: 

While Iron King Jorah was at an important diplomatic meeting, the palace doors burst open. One of the messengers approached the king, breathless. When Jorah noticed the messenger, his inner unease grew stronger. He sensed something was wrong.Messenger: (Worried and hurriedly) Your Majesty, begging your pardon, we have urgent news. Queen Molys was attacked while trying to protect your son Lordhair… and… and she lost her life.Jorah’s face turned pale. Shock and deep pain appeared in his eyes. Hearing the news of his queen’s death was an indescribable wound for him. Tears streamed from his eyes, and he paused for a moment. Then, unable to control his pain and anger, he slammed his fist on the table.Jorah Iron: (Eyes blazing) Who did this? Who!Messenger: (Trembling) Marc Slaw and Mythos’ forces… They ambushed the queen. Lordhair was rescued, but… Queen Molys… died.

Jorah took a deep breath to compose himself and stood up with fury in his eyes. His anger changed the very air in the room. He grabbed his sword and began speaking with all his strength.Jorah Iron: (With great anger and a slight tremble) I will eradicate them… Marc Slaw, Mythos, and everyone who joined this rebellion will see the power and wrath of the Iron Kingdom. I will show no mercy to any of them! They took my queen from me, they threatened my people. There’s no turning back now, I will destroy them to the end!

Everyone in the meeting room bowed their heads silently in the face of Jorah’s emotional outburst. Jorah raised his sword with determination and began issuing orders to all the generals and advisors in the room.

Jorah Iron: (With a powerful voice) Begin preparations! Mobilize all our armies. We will crush this rebellion and show the power of the Iron Kingdom. No betrayal will go unpunished. But first, we will bury my queen’s body.

As the sun slowly set, the sky was covered with a golden blanket. The courtyard of the Iron Castle was adorned in a manner befitting the glorious memory of Queen Molys. In front of the castle walls stood a large stone platform, and on it lay Queen Molys’ body, covered with a purple cloth. Surrounding it were thousands of flowers and candles, symbolizing the respect of those bidding her farewell.

The funeral was attended by many people who loved the queen, led by her loyal husband, Jorah Iron. The King of the Shadow Realm, however, was absent from the ceremony.Jorah Iron approached Queen Molys’ body and took a deep breath before beginning his speech. His eyes were full of tears, but he spoke with a resolute voice.

Jorah Iron’s Speech;

"Dear Molys,

Today, we have gathered here in your presence. You were not only the queen of the Iron Kingdom but also my beloved wife. We will never forget the years filled with your courage, sacrifice, and love.

You fought for our people, protected them, and always put them first. Your light and guidance formed the foundation of this kingdom. Today, we feel the deep pain of losing you, but we will do everything in our power to keep your legacy alive."

After completing his speech, Jorah Iron went to his watching and weeping children, stroking each of their heads. "Everything will be alright," he whispered to them. Together with his children, they shared their love for Molys’ memory and their determination to preserve her legacy.

The Result of the Queen’s Death:

The rebellion began with the death of Molys, known as the Purple Queen. Her death was both a personal tragedy for Jorah and the spark that ignited the rebellion. Jorah became even more ruthless to avenge his wife’s death and mobilized all his forces to crush the rebellion.

The queen’s death stripped Jorah of all human emotions and turned him into a ruler consumed by vengeance. Jorah mobilized his entire army to suppress the rebellion and unleashed himself upon the rebels using the technological tools provided by Jayce. Jorah’s army tracked the rebels everywhere and destroyed them mercilessly.

Mythos, with the support of Shadow King Marc Slaw and Jayce, launched his rebellion full force. The rebellion initially achieved great success and shook the internal structure of the Iron Kingdom. The people rose under Mythos’ leadership and stood against Jorah’s oppressive rule. Jayce’s technological tools increased the rebels’ strength and gave them an advantage against Jorah’s army.

In the early days of the rebellion, uprisings began in different regions of the Iron Kingdom. Cities and towns fell under rebel control. Jayce provided the rebels with energy shields, magic-enhanced weapons, and communication devices. These technologies made it easier for the rebels to resist Jorah’s army. Marc, using his shadow agents, orchestrated strategic attacks and undermined the morale of Jorah’s forces.

Frontlines;As the rebellion echoed across the Iron Kingdom, battlefields turned into arenas of deadly technology. Jayce’s energy shields strengthened the rebels’ defenses and provided protection against Jorah’s mechanized army. Mechanical drones gliding through the sky monitored the rebels’ movements, delivered real-time reports, and enabled strategic attacks.

Energy Shields and Drones;Jayce’s energy shields bolstered the rebels’ defenses. These shields were translucent barriers emitting a bright blue light around them. They could not be pierced by enemy arrows or bullets. They were also adjusted to allow the rebels to use their own weapons. Behind the energy shields, rebels could move safely and launch counterattacks against the enemy.

Mechanical drones gliding through the sky monitored the rebels’ movements and provided real-time reports. These drones were small and fast, barely noticeable to the eye. Their cameras and sensors tracked every step of the rebels and provided strategic information. The drones could also infiltrate enemy lines to conduct covert operations.

“Jorah’s wrath was merciless. He used the power of the Iron Kingdom against the rebels ruthlessly.” Captured rebels were either burned to death or imprisoned in cells and tortured with electricity until they died. Jorah expressed his hatred and anger in this way, trying to avenge his queen.

But one night, as he fell into a deep sleep, he saw Queen Molys in his dream. Molys approached him and began speaking in a soft voice.Queen Molys: (In the dream, with a sad and pleading voice) Jorah, my love, please end this chain of pain now. Our people have suffered enough. This revenge and anger only bring more destruction. You need to end this blood feud so the war can stop and our people can find peace again.When Jorah heard Molys’ words in his dream, tears streamed from his eyes. The pain and regret within him engulfed his entire being. He awoke with tears, and the words of his queen from the dream echoed in his ears. Something inside him began to change. Molys’ love for him and her concern for the people left a deep mark on Jorah’s heart.Jorah rose from his bed and sank into thought. "I must end this war for our people to find peace."

Jorah paced in the darkness of the room, wrestling with an inner struggle. Molys’ words echoed in his mind. "You must end this cycle of revenge.""Perhaps it’s time to end this war. I must stop this blood feud for our people to find peace." Jorah realized the moment his thoughts changed. He accepted Molys’ dream as a guide and resolved to take action.

Jorah took a deep breath to steady himself and decided to issue orders to his entire army with determination. In the meeting hall, generals and commanders gathered. Jorah began speaking with sorrow and resolve in his eyes.

Jorah Iron: (With tears) Today will be the day when war and pain end. It’s time to stop dealing with fallen soldiers and end the war. To honor my Queen Molys’ memory and bring peace back to our people, I have decided to end this cycle of revenge.

The generals and commanders listened to Jorah’s unexpected decision with astonishment. However, the determination in Jorah’s eyes affected them too. Jorah gave his generals orders to end the war and took action to bring peace and tranquility back to his people.Jorah Iron: (With a powerful voice) We will no longer deal with fallen soldiers. We will bring hope and peace back to our people. We will work together for this war to end and for a new beginning.

Jorah’s decision marked the beginning of a great change in the Iron Kingdom. The pain and destruction brought by the rebellion gave way to peace and rebuilding. Queen Molys’ memory remained alive in Jorah’s heart forever and became a source of inspiration to restore peace to his people.

Is It the World That Is Unjust, or Fate? Eryx’s Betrayal

Eryx was born in a small town and had a difficult childhood. Her father had been unjustly accused and executed by a cruel lord in their village. She and her mother had faced bullying in the village and often went hungry. One day, the cruel lord’s soldiers raided their village, took her mother captive, and beat Eryx nearly to death. At that moment, a young and brave warrior named Jorah Iron, passing by, witnessed the scene.

Jorah Iron rescued Eryx’s mother, neutralized the soldiers, and found Eryx covered in blood. He took her to his palace, ensured her recovery, and taught her how to fight and survive. As Eryx grew up by Jorah’s side, she developed a deep sense of gratitude and loyalty toward him. Jorah had not only saved her life but also given her a purpose and a goal.Over time, Eryx became one of Jorah Iron’s most trusted agents. She had sworn an oath of loyalty and carried out Jorah’s orders without question. Because Jorah was not just a savior but also a father figure and mentor to her. She owed him an endless debt of loyalty…

Eryx was the agent who contributed the most to the rebellion’s defeat. Eryx had gained Mythos’ trust and leaked critical information about the rebels to Jorah. Thanks to the intelligence provided by Eryx, Jorah’s army targeted the rebels’ weak points and launched attacks. Eryx constantly reported the rebels’ plans and strategies to Jorah, ensuring his army always stayed one step ahead. 

And then came a moment when Mythos began explaining his ultimate strategy, the pincer tactic, to his most trusted people. He would slowly retreat the army, widening the gap between them, for 7 days. Then, on the 8th day, he would encircle the enemy trying to catch them. As soon as Eryx heard this plan, she reported it to the Iron King via a microfly—a spy device of that era that sent sound recordings with signals undetectable by radar.

Turning Point: Jorah’s Technological Tools:

Jorah’s army was equipped with cutting-edge weapons. These included plasma rifles that created energy bursts, electromagnetic bullets that pierced armor, and shockwaves that could instantly neutralize enemies. Additionally, massive mechanical warriors at the forefront of the army were used to demolish rebel defenses. These mechanical warriors, with their powerful engines and armor, were nearly indestructible.

One day, he assembled the largest army in the history of the Iron Kingdom and launched simultaneous attacks on all cities. The flying Blitzkrieg team with nuclear bombs, along with the ground-based motorized Blitzkrieg teams and cutting-edge weapons, inflicted the greatest destruction history had ever seen on enemy forces, instantly reclaiming many lost territories. It was as if he was making them pay the price for underestimating the Iron Kingdom.

Eryx’s intelligence played a huge role in this operation. All teams positioned themselves behind the locations where Mythos planned to tactically settle, hiding and waiting, and Mythos’ ultimate plan came to an end.

The Effects of the Bloody Rebellion on the People:

The people were not actually as opposed to Jorah’s rule as Mythos claimed; the Shadow Lord and Jayce had assembled a large team of manipulators and planted them among the people. They distorted Jorah’s policies, making them appear harsher than they were. No matter how much Jorah foresaw and tried to prevent it, the people had already been hypnotized…

The Bloody Rebellion was a massive uprising launched against the Iron Kingdom’s strict and safety-focused rule. This rebellion was a result of the people’s desire for freedom and their anger against the regime’s oppressive practices. However, the effects of the rebellion left deep scars on the people and brought a range of emotions with it.

In the early days of the rebellion, there was great hope and excitement among the people. They believed the years of security measures would end, and they would gain their freedom. The streets echoed with the bold speeches of the rebellion’s leader, Mythos. The people united under Mythos’ leadership and were determined to stand against the strict rules of the regime.But as the rebellion progressed, hope gave way to fear and worry.

Jorah Iron’s ruthless army launched a massive attack on the rebels. The streets filled with blood and tears. People had to face the pain of losing their loved ones. Homes were destroyed, families torn apart. At every corner, they encountered the merciless face of war.

At the rebellion’s most critical moment, a great sense of helplessness and despair took hold among the people. Jorah’s army used every ruthless method to break the rebels’ resistance. People had to hide to survive. At night, the screams and explosions echoing through the streets heightened the people’s fear.Yet, despite all this pain, a sense of solidarity and unity also grew among the people. They did everything they could to help each other. The wounded were treated, food and water were shared. In these tough days, the people’s loyalty and solidarity with one another became one of the rebellion’s greatest strengths.

In the final days of the rebellion, a great sense of exhaustion and depletion prevailed among the people. Jorah’s army had captured the rebels’ last resistance points. The people saw their dreams of freedom crumble and the strict regime reassert itself. But this time, Jorah took a different approach. He launched a massive aid campaign to ease the people’s suffering and regain their trust.

One day: The rebels’ supplies had run out. Hunger and despair had settled into their camps. Mythos had to find a solution to avoid losing the people’s support. But finding supplies was becoming increasingly difficult.

One night, one of Mythos’ most trusted men, Kael, decided to raid the villages where civilians lived. Kael and his men advanced with steps that broke the village’s silence. They forced open the doors of homes and collected the food hidden inside.The villagers were frozen with fear, unsure of what to do. As Kael forcibly took bread from an elderly woman’s hands, he saw the helplessness in her eyes. The woman had to let go of the bread with trembling hands. Kael knew he would never forget this scene, but it was necessary for the rebellion to continue. And this was just one of the tragedies experienced during this war…

Jorah provided resources to rebuild the destroyed homes. Engineers and workers began repairing the damaged buildings quickly. The people met Jorah’s unexpected aid with surprise but had to accept it to meet their needs. Additionally, Jorah sent food and medical supplies to address the people’s basic necessities.This aid campaign created mixed feelings among the people. On one hand, this help, coming after years of strict rule, aimed to ease their suffering. On the other hand, Jorah’s intent to regain their trust with this aid raised questions in the people’s minds.

Jorah Iron announced that he would grant the people more rights and freedoms from now on, and added: "I sacrificed my wife, your queen, for this country. If you rise against me again, the only ones I will slaughter won’t be the enemy’s armies."

The Bloody Rebellion was a result of the people’s quest for freedom and their anger against the regime’s oppressive practices. However, the rebellion’s effects left deep scars on the people. They had to face the pain of losing loved ones. Homes were destroyed, families shattered. Yet, despite all this suffering, a sense of solidarity and unity among the people also grew stronger.

The warrior who wanted to bring freedom had brought the greatest misery.

Mythos’ Escape:

No matter what Mythos did, he couldn’t figure out who had betrayed him. Love had blinded his all-seeing eyes, so to speak. This ignited the fuse of the final battle that would bring the rebellion to its end…

Jorah, using the full might of the Iron Kingdom, launched a series of massive attacks against the rebels on all fronts. During these assaults, many rebel leaders and warriors lost their lives. Even the technological tools provided by Jayce proved insufficient against Jorah’s power. Shadow Lord Marc and Jayce had to accept the rebellion’s failure and withdrew.

Just as everything was about to end, Eryx and Mythos were left alone, and Mythos finally learned of Eryx’s betrayal…

[One night, Moi, one of Mythos’ most trusted advisors, intercepted a secret message.]Moi: (Entering Mythos’ room with a small device in hand) Lord Mythos, we need to leave the headquarters urgently. The Iron King’s army has overwhelmed all our forces and is coming here. But first, do you recognize this device I’m showing you?

Mythos: (Examining the device, his face growing serious) Yes, this is a microfly used by Jorah Iron’s agents. Where did you find it?Moi: (Worried) I found it among Eryx’s belongings. There’s a recorded message inside. I want you to listen to it. (Activates the device)Recorded message: "To Jorah Iron: Mythos’ ultimate plan is the pincer tactic. He will slowly retreat the army and then encircle the enemy. The retreat will begin for 7 days. End of report."

Mythos: (Turning to Eryx with shock and disappointment) Eryx, what does this mean? How could you betray me? I was with you all this time, I trusted you!Eryx: (Eyes filled with tears, head bowed) Mythos, let me explain. This wasn’t an easy decision. My debt of gratitude to Jorah, my loyalty, brought me this far. But my feelings for you were real too. I was torn between the two.

Mythos: (Shaking his head in pain) How could you do this, Eryx? If you really loved me, you wouldn’t have done this. You shattered my trust.Eryx: (Tears streaming down) Mythos, I understand you. Give me a chance, let me make up for this betrayal. Let’s find a solution together.

Mythos: (Taking a deep breath, filled with pain and disappointment) Eryx, forgiving you will be very hard. But because I truly loved you, I will let you go. Go, and be with whoever you choose! But never cross my path again.

Mythos was overcome with deep sorrow when he saw the rebellion defeated and Jorah victorious. But what wounded him most was the moment he learned the woman he loved was the one who betrayed him. He quickly gathered his remaining comrades and left the headquarters, vowing revenge.

The Rebels’ Last Headquarters:At midnight, Jorah Iron approached the rebels’ final headquarters with his loyal men. In the darkness of the night, the silhouette of the headquarters was faintly visible. It was a dilapidated structure surrounded by old stone walls. Dim lights seeped from within. Jorah and his men approached the headquarters silently.

 The smell of rotting wood and stone filled the air. An uneasy silence reigned inside the headquarters. The men searched every corner carefully, hoping to find Mythos, but the headquarters was empty. There was no trace of Mythos. Jorah paused for a moment in the silence of the headquarters, assessing the situation.

 Reflecting on the devastation caused by betrayal and war, he made his decision. He signaled his men, and they set the headquarters ablaze. The flames spread quickly, the old stone walls cracking and collapsing, the wood turning to ash within the fire. Jorah watched the flames rise. After watching the headquarters burn, he took a deep breath, turned around, and disappeared into the darkness.

Some time after the rebellion was suppressed, peace was restored to the Iron Kingdom. But the void in Jorah Iron’s heart remained, filled with the loss of his beloved wife. Today, he set out to visit her grave. Gray clouds covered the sky, and a light breeze blew.Jorah entered the cemetery holding a bouquet of purple flowers. As he approached Molys’ grave, sorrowful memories flooded back. When he reached the graveside, he gently placed the flowers down and knelt. His eyes were teary, and his voice trembled.

"Dear Molys,

Today, I came here to express my love and longing for you. Losing you was the greatest pain of my life. I will never forget every moment we spent together, every struggle, every victory.

You were not only my wife but also a brave protector of this kingdom. Your light, guidance, and love gave hope to our people. I promise to do everything in my power to keep your legacy alive.

If our son is alive today, it’s thanks to his brave mother, not his incompetent father. And I will never forget that for the rest of my life.

This rebellion ended in a victory as we continued the struggle you began to honor your memory and protect our people. But your absence is felt every moment. There’s so much I want to share with you, but being by your side now is not possible.

Everything will be alright, Molys. I will protect our children and keep your legacy alive. I will always love and miss you."

Some wander in the past,
Some yearn and yearn,
Long-dead, finished love,
Want to take it out of the grave and kiss it.
