Chapter 1 Breathtaking view

A thousand years ago, all races were in a state of war, fighting to the last for self-proclaimed justice, liberty and world peace. The war lasted several weeks. Many lost their lives, and many betrayed each other in pursuit of power, fame, wealth, treasure, and all that mankind desires. At that time, all races fell into deep despair and cried out to God to rid the world of terror and ugliness. And all races have prayed until the last day, and your wish has been granted. A gigantic black sphere landed on the world, erasing the world's ugliness, beauty and fear.
It took the lives of all who lived there, and the world plunged into total darkness. There was nothing left, not even a shred of life. At that time, the world was truly devastated and devastated for generations. Until one day, seven entities descended into the world and succeeded in restoring life, creating a whole new world, and bringing new life into this world, life and people's happy faces should not yet be caused. Another tragedy to return. Decades later, in an exotic land filled with plants, trees, rivers, mountains and breathtaking scenery, brave the arduous climbs full of obstacles even the veterans dare not overcome. It pays off for people.
There were two men who climbed steep mountains with the most beautiful views.
"Oh, I wasn't lying when I said these guys had the best view, because that's a sight to die for, so it's true, hahaha."
"Certainly, this scenery is pure, and life is really important." I'm glad I came here. The two boys, one with brown hair and the other with blue hair, both have breathtaking views of the forest and mountains in front of them.
"From time immemorial, the world seems to have been in complete darkness for generations. At least that's what you hear when you walk past the orphanage. They say the world is at war and their desires. It says it was destroyed by the greed of those who took advantage of it.” We call ourselves honest to prove we are the best. What a foolish group of men to dare to ruin such a beautiful prospect in their own pride and greed!

A thousand years ago, there were people who held power at the top. Those who controlled the people and the state, those who held the highest power, gave power to others, some used it for their own benefit, some used it to control their country and people. Some used it to perform cruel experiments, some used it to cause havoc upon its own nation. They were queens and kings, the people at the tiptop of the world one’s who the world couldn’t defeat or disobey no matter the circumstances, ones whom people always obey no matter the order. They secluded themselves at 7 nations aboard the world and controlled.

They controlled everything surrounding their nation be it lands, criminals, war, peace, treasure, everything was at the palm of their hands, and none could steal or replicate it, however the only ones who could stand against them were fellow princesses and kings of said nation as they held equal power to each other. Other races didn't even hold a candle as some were made to serve under the queens and kings of the world. '' Apparently even today some still linger though most of them have already died down their power and erased most of the conflicts that their country faced and are in peace not knowing when it will be disrupted.
'' Hey Aki, do you think we can keep on walking and walking all day without a place we call home just mindlessly searching for a place to rest instead of a place to call home?'' ''while there may be difficulties in our life its at least much better to keep on walking and not stop then to get engulfed in wars and lose our one home, that's why it's better we keep on moving I don't like losing things but some need to be kept away in order to move forward you have to be prepared to lose things, you can't live life simply by keepings things with you you'll eventually lose them but if you accept that they'll be with you at all times then what's there to fear losing them, it's the memory that's important even if you lose them at the end you'll remember them and they'll become a precious memory for all.''
As the two boys keep on moving in the forest, they both notice a huge ray of light in front of their road worried and confused they both instantly rush towards the ray of light in front only to witness a single man in front of them with a torch and a sword that is covered in blood both Ariel and Aki reminisce them.
first time making the house the memories they shared and had all put into all burned away. Ariel stares into the fire in front of him shaking with fear '' It's okay it's all just a bad dream that's all I'll just wake up from it and everything will be the way it was I'll wake up and Aki will prepare food like always, that's right this is all just a bad dream our house it safe and secure nothing is stripped away from'' just before he finishes his sentence. "Oh, I'm going to kill you, you bastard, did you set your house on fire?" Aki rushed to the person who set the house on fire. The man sheathed his sword and punched Aki in the face, knocking him down. "Aki, are you okay?" When Ariel charged in front of the man, the man kicked Aki in his direction and knocked him down.

"Oh, I'm going to kill you, you bastard, did you set your house on fire?" Aki rushed to the person who set the house on fire. The man sheathed his sword and punched Aki in the face, knocking him down. "Aki, are you okay?" When Ariel charged in front of the man, the man kicked Aki in his direction and knocked him down.

‘’ yet it’s still beautiful not everything needs to be dark and cruel it can be nice and normal and peaceful and that’s what I desire and will do anything in order to obtain that, I have fought enough wars and will continue till the end of time’’ she takes a small piece of wood, and it transforms into a sword which is simply made of veins and the roots of plants and trees.

‘I will eliminate you’’ she points it and all trees present heed her calls and points towards where the queen points her blade, the white queen moves at a fast speed towards the black princess moving in light speed points her blade and creates a huge slash to cut the woods and gain an opportunity to slash the black queen, however.

She disappeared and slashed her despite coming in to slash her she gets the brunt of the attack and falls she tries to get up, but the veins hold her so that she won’t run anywhere, the black princess jumps down on her almost crushing her whole stomach. The white princess screams of agony,

the black princess lowers herself down to her and holds it “You mocked my peace and hurt my nation you think you’ll get away without any reprimand please don’t make me laugh the only thing you’ll get is despair and pain from insulting me and hurting the person closest to me and burning what was close to two innocent kids you really are the filthiest princess ever’’ with only tears in her face she begs ‘’ please spare me I won’t attack again I’ll leave you alone please spare me’’ ‘’hmm I can’t do that after all I’m type of girl who always finishes what she starts a truly cruel princess that shows no mercy to anyone you of all people should know well I don’t like to waste time bye may we meet again sometime and talk over a cup of tea maybe’’ and with this she slashes the white princesses head off her body the roots and vines leave nothing behind. amidst the whole fight, both Ariel and Aki managed to run far into the woods where no one managed to find them and hid in a small cave waiting for the morning to arise and trying their best not to alert any attention since they almost died there, and that enemies can be close by to not alert them. ''Well, what do we do now our little house is burned down, and some random people came and almost tried to kill us, and a kind man saved us and got almost killed too by a female knight and another one appeared and almost got us all mixed up, thankfully we managed to escape amidst all that''.

''Yeah, everything happened too quickly I can't exactly process what happened myself for now let's just hide here this space is small and cramped so I believe no one's going to find us for now, so let's just hide here for the night.'' '' Hey Ariel, did you know that there is a certain place called kingdoms in here?''

''kingdoms? Are they like huge palaces for the royals to enter? I read it once in a book in the orphanage” ''yup they are that however only a certain set of people can enter and they are people that are blessed by the queens and kings of said nation normal people like us can't enter because were not blessed by them'' ''why not assuming we are why not hide there?? That might be the best place to go." "The reason, Ariel, is because we've just seen that the conflict will never end, and one day we could all be caught up in this mess, and I hope not, I want to help people, but at the same time, I don't want to risk my own life. It's good to think of others, but it's even more important to think of yourself. I stumbled upon him on a snowy night ten years ago and survived thanks to his instincts and actions. I can't wait. "I understand that it's better to keep moving than face this situation again. Is there a place? That's where the shelter is in the north,' he said. "So, let's go there first and see what we can find." Aki and Ariel, about 15, walk north along a path to find a place to rest until they decide on their next destination. a trail to find a place to rest until they decided on their next destination.

But unbeknownst to both, tragedy changes their destinies, and embarks on a journey unlike any they've taken since childhood. their destiny was about to change, for better or worse. It's a journey filled with partings and beginnings, deaths and events that lead to the acceptance of one's identity, and journeys that change the way the world is viewed by others and by oneself.

"We're finally here. It took us a whole day to get to this shelter. We walked a lot." I'm sure it will be warm inside. As the two boys head further into the shelter in front of them to seek warmth the snow gets even fiercer and harsher to the point where it felt like walking in water it was hard and extremely cold, yet the boys managed to persevere till they arrived in front of the door and with little strength Ariel had he knocked on the door to get anyone’s attention to instantly open the door. Ariel and Aki's hair is covered in complete white due to snow and their fingers and faces are all red.

They both passed out and the door opened in front of them '' oh boy what do we have here??'' The door opens with kids and a woman in front of it looking at Ariel and Aki laying down in front of the opened door and she instantly takes them by their sleeve and drags them inside to a much warmer and less cold place. The place was a small house with two levels to it and a fireplace where all the kids gather up to warm up and a few rooms for the kids to sleep and one room upstairs, the whole house is made up of wood and also with a chimney up top and some plushies and pillows in the ground to rest in it was truly the safest and warmest place to stay at

however due to certain circumstances later we both said our farewell regretting not being able to do anything to change a certain outcome. '' it's been a while since me and Aki have a lived here as a normal family chopping woods, getting food, cleaning the house and getting rid of the snow in the house and around it to make it easier to move' Achieving all this quickly became less difficult and more achievable regularly. Ariel, your shining eyes remind me of the first queen in the myth of the legendary queen. Reia carried the supplies she had gathered in a nearby town in a wooden box and talked to Ariel in front of her "Do you know the legend of Princess Nea?" She was betrayed and felt guilt for killing her comrades. Ariel was surprised she knew a lot considering there weren't a lot of books around for her to stuff from the ancient past, but that didn't bother him much longer Aki interrupted'' The bath is ready if you want to get in Reia ‘

’ I’m sorry to interrupt but the bath is done Reia’’ Aki spoke coldly despite Ariel always knowing that Aki can be cold at times, especially during their travel ‘’ all the kids are asleep and it’s already pretty dark outside so go sleep after you take a bath good night’’ with that she walked to the toilet downstairs straight and to her left she opened the door and shut it open to take a bath ‘’ hey Ariel what do you think of this story?’’

Aki asked with a worried voice as if he was hesitant to ask Ariel about it and he responded with ‘’ Well it is interesting, and I would like to know more about this world and the kings and how it all started. What about you Aki’’? ‘’Well, I’’ turning his head down as to avoid Ariel's sunshiny gaze pondering on what to say Ariel walks up to him and pats him on the shoulder, and says to him ‘’ You don’t need to come with an answer right away’’ ‘’ Ariel and Aki I finished bathing so who’s taking a bath between you two’’?? Ariel heads to the bath as if saying I’m bathing first ‘’ I didn’t know what to think when Ariel said what I thought of the story I couldn’t come up with an answer right away unlike how I always did, I always came up with an answer no matter the question’’ Aki pondered that thought whilst still looking down he wondered whether being near him would be better or not going forward and would he be able to protect him unlike last time when they were attacked had that strange man not come to their rescue they would have both died and their journey would have ended there.

‘’ I was powerless in front of him despite saying I’ll protect him; I wasn’t able to protect my dear friend at all. I want to protect him, he's all I have left now. ‘’Afterwards, Ariel left the bathtub and I was last to go in it was warm which was a refresher, due to living out most of the time and not being inside at all I felt relieved even though it didn’t fit me at all warmth was something I thought I wouldn’t get it at all because I betrayed my family and convinced Ariel to come with me for selfish reasons at this point I’m just using him for my gains is this the right way’’ Aki ponders worriedly whether to leave or not ‘’ If I left would he be disappointed or perhaps happy??? I’ve never considered people’s feelings much because I thought I understood it best however, I never understood what Ariel wanted I just simply took him that night because why??’’ as I kept pondering these thoughts I then went to sleep in a warm bed.

‘’ thoughts flashed my mind as I kept on pondering over and over about why I tagged along with him despite losing something precious to me, I kept pondering why our little hut burned down and why we came all the way here in this cold weather, I kept pondering on why we got attacked even though we did nothing wrong and were just trying to survive and morning arrived ‘’ hey both of you can you get some firewood we’re running out of them’’ Reia said to both Aki and Ariel whilst they are eating warm bread with potatoes, ‘’ understood’’ both Ariel and Aki agreed to gather some firewood and after eating they both head out ‘’ it’s finally warm huh??’’ Aki said to Ariel whilst looking at the sky with the sun finally glowing in front of them whilst they both head out ‘’ Yeah it is warm out here this place looks so much better when the sun is out and it's warm here.’’

said Ariel with a smile on his face they went to the edge to gather firewood that’s fallen‘’ thick ones should be able to burn well so we should look for these’’ Aki said while looking around he reminisces exploring this specific spot with Ariel before their hut was burned down by roaming warmongers the peace they were enjoying before everything was burned down and they were forced to throw it all away due to warmongers attacking them, Aki ponders these thoughts whilst trying to search for firewood ‘’Hey Aki I managed to find a few thick ones these look good’’ Ariel rushes over to Aki with the thick firewood he found by the looks of it he managed to get quite a few and Aki says

‘’ looks good, why don’t you go back with these for now’’ Aki said with a smile and Ariel responds with ‘’ what about you? You’ve been in a daze for a while what are you thinking about?’’ ‘’ Nothing important’’ said Aki with a slight smile reassuring Ariel that it’s nothing major or important ‘

’ Oh yeah Reia said she’ll tell us more of Nea’s story that I can’t wait to hear more of it’’ Ariel said while smiling and cheerful Aki responds with ‘’ Well that’s’’ right as he was about to complete his sentence ‘’ wait I hear footsteps coming from behind us lets goo hide for now’’ Aki quickly grabs Ariel’s hand making him drop all of the firewood he gathered and went to hide somewhere away from the footsteps ‘’ These footsteps didn’t sound normal I didn’t see any wild animal here so the only answer I can come up with is’’ horses and soldiers marching forward towards the front and Aki thus Aki deduced that it was warmongers scavenging what they see in front of them and while witnessing them ravage the forest he ‘’ Ariel we need to warn Reia to take the kids and run away from the forest as fast as possible without them noticing her’’ Aki says with a worried face ‘’ Yeah of course but we need to be careful otherwise we might not be lucky unlike before’’ Ariel says so reminiscing when their hut was attacked and they were at death's door

meanwhile at the house ‘’ Hmm what’s taking the kids so long to just gather firewood there can’t not be any right?’’ Reia ponders the thought of Ariel and Aki staying late outside and worrying about She decides to ‘’ What if they’re both in danger I have to help them There’s no reason for them to be this late outside it’s been almost 20 to 30 minutes and a forest is full of thick firewood usually it took like a few minutes, maybe I’m just worrying too much’’ she managed to relieve herself from worrying about Ariel and Aki ‘’ I just hope they stay safe even they come empty handed I want to take more about her after Nea is a special princess that died trying to save her loved one caused by someone who she followed since they were kids, I wonder how Ariel and Aki would think of that part of the story.’’
