The Ancients World

Chapter 70: The journey to Zenith city VIII

{I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. The ones after this get dark, so if you scare or don't want to read suggested forced violence then I'd advise not reading some parts of the next chapters. There wont be any R-18 scenes or the sort, just a dark reality of the war and the effect it has on NPC's. I added humor to this chapter so enjoy it while you can. Some of the stuff in the coming chapters are gut retching. I'll mark the chapters that are considered dark with a # above it.}

I get up from the couch and head to my mom and dads room, the closer I get the louder my moms sobbing gets. I soon make it to the door of their room and I hesitate like anyone would, hearing a parent cry is a hard things to listen too. I knock on the door gently, and I quickly hear the crying stop. "Who is it?" My dad is the one to answer since he is more composed. I take a moment and say a silent prayer. I don't want my mom getting her hopes up and then get crushed again, but I somehow feel that is unavoidable.

I breathe a deep breath and slowly release it. "Its Cera, there is some important news about Ancients World and I thought you guys should know. The government is helping J&X instead of reprimanding them about the stock plummeting. I just wanted to let you guys know it might be a smart idea to get strong very fast in Ancients World. I don't know how hard its going to be to level up with so many new players." Now that I've finished saying my peace I shouldn't disturb them anymore. "I'm heading back up to my room, I have things to do before the population boom happens again." I turn away from the door and begin to walk away, I quickly hear loud running footsteps coming from the other side of the door. I don't know why, but I begin to run as well. I'm already at the start of the staircase when I look down the hall I just came from. I see the door swing open to reveal my mom.

She darts her head over at me and I sense doom, I start running up the stairs and I hear her charge down the hall I just came from. "YOUR NOT GETTING AWAY TILL WE SPEND SOME TIME TOGETHER!!!" I begin to run faster and faster, I can see my door and I'm overcome with hope. I turn my head back and see mom at the top of the stairs where I just was. I turn my head back and I reach for my door and open it. I look at her and she no longer looks like my mom, more like a furious Tasmanian devil. I slam the door shut and lock it, I hear her collide against my door banging on it.

She is sounding exactly like Taz from those old vintage cartoons, I think they were called looney toons. I'm glad that I found safety in my room, but the next time I come out I'll have to spend some time with her. She obviously needs it, I make my way over to my gaming pod as the banging on my door and the Taz like sounds continue. "Sorry mom, the next time I get off we can hang out!!" The banging and animal like noise gets even louder at that, disobeying her isn't something I usually do. This is going to be one of the times, I have priorities to fulfill and goals to reach. She will understand once she gets to higher levels.

When I meet up with them in Nelmorp I should be wary around her, her personality is not one you can anticipate. I get into my gaming pod and close my eye's, soon the noise my mom is making fades and I wake up in the same tent I set up last night. I have 10 or so hours till Nelmorp, so I should make my way there. If I keep a good pace I'll met up with them in the early morning if their on. I pack up my camp and put all my stuff in my inventory. After taking a deep breath and enjoying the air I take off at high speeds.

While Cera travels for the night, there is a conversation between 2 powerful wielders of Legacy classes. Ghostzero is currently walking the path back to his home village with his partner in crime Creatureman. We have been traveling for a few days now, Creatureman and I have plans to kill Clintock once and for all. Once we free Zelly and the town we can finally repay our debt to her. I wonder how she is doing after all these years. "Should we make a plan or just attack him with our combined efforts? Clintock has much more experience then we do with power of this magnitude." Creatureman has always been great with plans, while I'm skilled as well. He has a finesse that is needed for complex battles and jobs.

So if either of us should plan anything its him, I'm confident we can win either way. It really comes down to how hard we want the battle to be, and I want to swiftly kill him and end all the suffering he's caused. I won't risk leaving him alive and I sure as hell wont risk Zelly's safety. We have come to far to fail now. "I've been brainstorming plans, and I think I came up with a good one. We will need to pick up a mass mana suppression scroll first, as well as some mercenaries willing to risk their lives to make the plan work." I don't know exactly what he's planning, but I can guess he wants to suppress Clintock and use the mercenaries as bait. That's what makes the best sense, but he might have other things on his mind.

We are walking through the forest of Sweet Leaves and we pass the occasional merchant cart that does business with new fairy kingdom that has moved out here. "So do you really think we will see Fenrir? I heard rumors that he patrols the woods and guards the city most days." I cant hide the fact that I'm excited to go to the new fairy kingdom, and if I can I do want to meet Fenrir. A divine creature isn't an existence you get to talk to everyday. My old friend just scoffs at my desire to meet the mighty Fenrir. If only he had some imagination he might find more joy out of life, but if I went through what he did I would be pessimistic as well.

We travel for a couple more hours and we eventually see the massive gates and the huge walls of the fairy kingdom. There are armored guards with butterfly wings and dragonfly wings. If what I heard was true then the ones with butterfly wings are the females. I thinks its weird they have reproductive organs, but only the Holy Willow Tree creates new fairies. "Why do you think the reproductive organs don't work on the fairies? With so many attractive females, you would think they would work." Creatureman laughs at my question, I know for a fact he doesn't know either so there is no reason to laugh.

We make it to the gate and wait in line to enter the city. "I'm sure you can ask someone here Ghostzero, they will be thrilled to answer such a question. I'm going to the magic district to pick up the mana suppression scrolls. I'll meet you at the inn we heard about, spend some time having fun. Once we leave this city we are walking into battle." I'll take his words to heart and enjoy myself here, with so many things to do there is bound to be some babes that would like to join me. Maybe I can get lucky and hang out with some fairy chicks.

While Creatureman and Ghostzero are getting supplies and having fun in the fairy kingdom, the armies the orcs have amassed are marching to Alsoma. The king of Alsoma is currently talking to the Saintess Lucy about how much longer they have. "Please! You need to get here sooner! My scouts have reported they are less than 2 days out! We cant fight off a horde!" I get why he is scared, but we will get there in time. I'm the leader and best warrior of the church, our forces can take a small horde.

I can see the great fear in him, a king my perfect ass. I'm sure if the treaty of humanoid races wasn't signed he and his people would be doomed. "I told you my forces and I will be there in 12 hours time, using the teleport gates for so many troops takes time. Just keep fortifying defenses and sending out scouts, any information about their forces would be valuable." I turn off the hologram and sit in my chair. Talk about a fast moving enemy, this is a good chance to see the orcs army in action. Even if its a small piece of it, we can get a good idea about what we are up against. Unknown to Lucy, after she turned off the hologram a scout rushed into the war councils office.

I run and run up the stairs to my kings war council, we are going to be attacked any minute now. Our last scouts were killed and monsters used transformation magic to trick us. I push open the heavy door with fury and everyone looks at me. "MY KING! THE ENEMY IS HERE! WE WHERE TRICKED!" I look at the face of despair on my king. I'm overcome with a sense of defeat, if our mighty king is like this then what hope do we have. I spit on your name William Blomian the III, you never deserved that legacy class.
