Ten thousand years ago all tribes of the maharlikan valley of east and west was living peacefully with the rule of one of the three deities Syaharfa Ammel Rhinderal the deity of good deeds, she was love and hailed by all being in the maharlikan valley, along with the two other deities of the west and the east. But a prophecy uphold a disaster the unavoidable death of these deities in the land and their home coming in the heaven with accordance to the words of the heavens ruler, when the darkness cover the land and a circular light will appear in the sky, the deities will fall and turn in to ashes as they came back to the arms of their king in the kingdom of heaven.

In order to prevent chaos broke out, after the death of the three deities each of them provide crimson stone to the tribes they rule as it will balance the earth. Syaharfa Ammel Rhinderal leave four crimson stones to each of the three most powerful tribe in maharlikan valley of east and west, the dwarfen kingdom of forger who put promises first before them, the elf empire of healers who heals everyone in need allies or not, and the serpent kingdom of warrior the protector of the weak. The first crimson stone was as big as soccer ball and it was filled with burning essence of the deity it appears as gradient of colors of red, orange and yellow with three shining star and scarlet raise of sun in the center, the second was the opposite it was to cold that if any carelessly hold the stone will instantly died with hypothermia it was bright bluish white in color and a pattern of snow visible in the center of the frost stone. The third one was the most and beautiful of all it was the the brightest green color stone much beautiful that the emeralds, it was as if you were looking in the green land and forest of the earth, the forth one was the smallest and the dullest of them all it was a black and while stone that when you look at it you were looking in the eternal slumber of death. when darkness fall upon the maharlikan valley it was the scariest day , when the deities turn in to ashes, the howls and scream echos was heard and the grief and snobs of all the being was seen and world at the day drown by the sadness.

The three kingdom protect the three crimson stone and the fourth one vanish as the deity turn into ashes, multiple century after, chaos fall in maharlikan valley and war between tribes and monster broke out, and the one who reign on the top was the unexpectedly the weakest being, the humans. The three crimson stone was no where to found and became legends as the years go by. But unknown to the many their another prophecy , prophecies by the oldest healer in witch country “the stone of life will broke by times go by and a new beings will born and rule the world - they were bless by the deities and the most powerful second to them, they were called the maharlikan, protector of our land” and the three human kings knew this, and keep the stones by them.

The load noise of drunken men was whole over the place, as he step in side the bar it was 3:30 in the afternoon and yet, this men was already drunk, other was crawling in the floor with the bottle of beer in their hand and other was sleeping in the corner or under table, he ignore what he saw, and direct go to counter as he saw the old bartender who was the owner of this bar “how is the work young man?” the old guy as him, he just shrug as a respond that makes the old guy smile, “you finish it faster than I thought” the old guy said and give him a drink “the job is easy pops, just the - hayys” he said and just drink the bottle of beer, looking the face of the man you can clearly see his having the hardest time of his life, his beat up, shirt was ripped, messy hair and full of kiss mark  “oy, you back, sahar? Hahhahahaha those girls harassed you again” a guy with brown hair, red cheek and smell of alcohol, definitely drunk, his Adante kalim a hunter like him “I envy you cause you attract girls effortless, but seeing you harass like this make me think to be thankful” the Adante said and laugh the misfortune of his friend, his friend sahar is really a good looking guy who could capture every girl heart in a second after their eyes feel on him, with his aqua blue eyes and well built shape, only blind will say his not jaw dropping being. But how much handsome he is, adante never saw this guy please or like anyone even his opposite sex, they known each other since childhood and even how brilliant and how good this guy in doing his job as a hunter member of this guild the thing the was looking since then, he never found it, he look for almost every city of maharlikan valley , even sneak in the three palace of the current three unbreakable empire in the maharlika he never saw his siblings.

“it was you, who only like to be with those women in pub” sahar and continue drinking, adante just shook his head and left his friend who doesn’t knew how to have fun with women “pops sure that guys would stay and get rest even a day or so” adante to the old man and left  “you better take, job in the board tomorrow morning” the old guys said, sahar was used to hear that line from the old guy, he usually take job, finish it, accomplish and take another. The old guy was kind enough to forbid him from taking after another with out resting. He was band just because they want him to rest, even he wont admit it, he was touched by this, that make his lips smile, since he was looking to the crowed the old guy didn’t saw it.

Almost finishing his bottle of beer, sahar saw a figure of a kid out their guild bar, it was so small, must be in teens, she was wearing a cloak covering his whole body, he cannot see her face, as she going to near him a familiar sensation he feel, the blue oreo in his pocket started to shine as if it found it another part. Is she my sister? The only word that he think at the moment after almost 24 years of searching of his sibling he might found them, “is this a guild?” the girl ask when she reach the counter, she was next to him, and the blue ore in his pocket bright evenly, he was sure that this girl had the thing that only his sibling have that stone blessing of their mother “yes this is, why would a little girl like you go in this kind of guild?” the old man said and offer a juice to the girl

“I’m a traveller and I’m on the quest of reaching the destination, of the Hanedderial empire one of my siblings was their” she said and take off her hood, indeed she was too young 12 or 13 years old? Sahar was confuse if she was his sister indeed how could she be so young? She should be same age as him, because the wear all born at the same time? “hanedderial empire was a very long journey that could take almost six month of travel and the route that you ganna travel was dangerous for the little girl like you, are you traveling alone?” the old man said with worry, knowing the little girl destination “I’m traveling alone, grandma Ysabella said that I would eventually found companions along the way” the girl smile as she response the question , the old man who hear that, face palm and shook his head in disbelief how could her grandmother let this little girl in a journey, wherein in this world the weak and the different was capture and use as slave? This world there is no such thing as fairy tale or peaceful life, the reality was awful and rotten “you can, but not all you meet was nice guys their those who was rotten and worst the devil” the old guy said and he continued “but meeting those people teach you to became who you are in the future, so do not trust easily and complaisant just because they show you kindness, evils are good in pretending”

“that is why I’m here, the lady told me if I gonna travel in to the handderial empire I should hire a man from a guild, she recommend this guild and sceleon told me that I might saw my brother here!” she replied the old man, sahar just looking and analyzing the young lady that didn’t notice his presence as if that she and the old man was the only being in the palace “if your brother was here I might can help you I know everyone in this guild, what is his name?” the old guys ask, but instead of answering the young girl looked away with embarrassment, her cheek and ears turn red, the girl was white as snow it noticeable when she turn in to red. “I never met him, and I don’t know his name” she said as her head was down and she biting her finger nails, “but I will know him is I could see him” said with eagerness in her voice  “I bet you can’t kid” sahar said lock his eyes to the young kid talking to the bar owner “uh-hmm I ca-” the kid response and turn to look at him, the girl was cut as their eyes met, and sahar heard that strange voice his hearing since that day siahara Ammiedéll , none of them talk the just starring at each other for the whole minute it was cut off as the old man speak “are you two will just stare each other for whole day?”

Sahar was the one who cut their staring contest, he blink multiple time as he can’t cut of his sight to those black eyes, her entire iris and it pupil was the same shade of black, you can’t differentiate the two, she looks like a bind kid

Hara small companion run over inside her dress that make her restless “don’t get to much excited sceleon!” she whisper as she trying to catch the small moving thing running wild

Sahar just look the girl with question as it trying to find something in her cloak, later the girl hold something in her head, and he saw a mice in between her hands it was a black mice with yellow blazing eyes hmm a demon?he ask his self, demons was know to their shift-shifting ability to deceive other races, wizards who can change appearances had a leanage of demon blood on then, they had this alluring brownish yellow eyes, but they don’t usually like seen in above as their emperor made truce with the humans. “this is sceleon, he was my grandpa pet, he accompany he in my journey, his being excited because you ” the kid said and open her hand letting him see the mice clearer, but a soon as hara open he hand the mice jump to sahar and run wild to his body as if it was finding something, the mice stop in in pocket trying to open it but he fail he can’t open it

Sahar pick the mice and returned it to hara “you need a guild personnel right? To accompany you to hanedderial empire right? Lucky you I’ve been there three time, but the question is, what you have to hire a good hunter?, it take a lot of money kid!” sahar said to the girl, his planning to accompany her since he was sure after that this girl could be his sister, another being who was bless by the deity of good deeds “that’s not a problem” Hara said and show him, her pocket full of gold coins, it was the money her grandparents give her to venture and find her siblings “that is good enough, we will going anytime, just tell me” sahar said as he look her pocket, it was a old black rug cloth, with a fade writing he doesn’t know anything about it, but small symbol catch his eye, the symbol of the most noble demon warrior, he knew it because he get hand on hand on one of the demon admirals and his sword had the same symbol on the cloth

“then from now on you’re duty is to protect me a all cost and accompany me to the hendderial empire, now lets go and I’m lady siahara Ammiedéll” the kid cheerfully said and pilled him as if, right at that moment they going head to their destination “hold up! Its getting dark! You two will go tomorrow morning! I’ll gonna make sure that you’re travel with a sahar is legal, since you will pass from one town to another” the old man said stopping the both of them, he was hesitant with this two,  they sims to have same attitude, and it could lead into big trouble, but he clearly knew how capable his class S hunter is, he is some what had confident that this little girl could reach hadderial empire without being caught to be slave of those bastard aristocrats.

The next morning the two of them bid good bye the old guild mater and the pub owner, they using the old cart and a donkey, lend by the old man to them and a silver stone that could help then to pass check point and enter villages and town with in the land of arrixona’s kingdom the place where their now, they travel smoothly thanks to the silver token, they just stop in the evening to sleep and let the donkey rest, and bandits was easily defeated by sahar.

“we are about to reach reach the first town stop, stay close to me and don’t room around that place was the most dangerous place for woman and kid like you” sahar and look to the kid next to her, he was driving the donkey because because hara was bored she keep bugging and talking things to sahar “dangerous place for kids?” she ask sahar while combing her mice pet hair “little children and woman frequently abduct in that place by town gangster and bandit to sell them into slavery” this was what the old man feared of, this kid would be in danger if she travel alone, when she reach the town of mahibis, known to the town of bandits she would surely abduct and sell into slavery, since this is the only way to reach the empire of hanedderial. “slavery? What is that?” the girl ask that shock him, it was rear to meet someone doesn’t knew slavery especially in this kind of situation “in our home all beings was treated equal, it not shocking that this girl doesn’t know a thing” the mice spoke, it didn’t bother sahar since he figure it out “then why a kid and a mice from the demon kingdom was here?”

“you’re right and you’re assumption is wrong, were indeed we came from the demon kingdom, the only kingdom that was safe in the hand of human, human destruction spread as fast as wild fire, other tribes seek refuges in the demon kingdom, but over the years human, thy became shamelessly fools and trying to invade demon kingdom to catch monster, which in fact they were the monsters in deed” the mice spoke with resentment to human, his hatred was understandable, even sahar has a shared resentment toward them “me and lady saihara isn’t demon nor human, I’m a guardian and lady saihara was a maharlikan like you” the mice spoke and look at him as if he trying to make him believe on what he trying to say, sahar forehead buckle on what the mice saying, it was all nonsense everyone who knew the legend know what maharlikan is, they were the odd beings born from the crimson stones left by the deities rumors said they the most strongest being next to the deities born with deities blessing they ruled the word into peace, but there is no maharlikan , if they were true, where they are? People suffers from the hands of those bastard nobles and aristocrats who only knew to buy slave and stole the money of people killing people and hunting other tribe for trophies. The deserve to be drown in the sea and burn alive!

“maharlikan? Are you kidding me? Their is maharlikan or other such thing about that” in contrast in what he saying there a glimpse in his heart that he believe to the mice, especially that power inside him “wrong, they were true, you are one of them” the mice insist “let say it true, any proof that I’m maharikan?” sahar challenge the mice, hara just look at them unbothered she trying to locate where is one of her sibling location his fire essence was swelling but it to small that she can’t find it exact location, but she was sure that her sibling who wielded the power bright sun never change his location , still their somewhere in that empire

“their! The blue ore, it was the a fragment left when you knock you’re shell and that irritating blue snow snake you who screaming and wanting to get out” the mice point the guy “blue snow snake?” “ghad you’re the oldest maharlikan and you didn’t even know the existence of your guardian?” the mice said and give him the duh face that irritate sahar even more, it was double up knowing that he got a pet like this little but he never knew of

“stop it, older brother sahar Amdeus, the blizzard was swelling to much covering the essence location of the our other sibling who hold the sword of wind” sahar felt fear when he look the kid aura it was deadly and frightening, he tried to calm ice appear everything he can’t hold her anger, that why he tried to be composed and calm every time, their travel was filled with silent until they reach the town of mahibis.

As they reach the town of mahibis sahar hold hara’s hand firmly, for safety purposes of the kid, he also ask her to cover her head by her cloak, since she got unique, and there are some nobles who love to collect those things from toe to eyes and hair “we will stay here over night and buy supplies in morning since the next town is more than 30 kilometer away from here, they stayed in an inn and rent one room with two bedrooms “a room with two bedroom” he said to the teller of the in “you have company sir” she ask, with her seductive face, try to get laid by the new costumer “nah, I’m with my little sister “ he ask and his hand holding hara right hand, the teller look the girl with dismay “if you want to rent a woman who could warm -”  “no, thanks the room key please”sahar cut the girl before she finish her word, he travel a lot and pass this town from time to time he know that inns here offers woman to their customer and those woman was catch and use as **********

The next morning at the market in the town of mahibis, hara was full of confusion as she saw the market situation, there is no kids running and playing in the market road, no mother who buy good for her family even couple who got their date, no loud familiar you can hear in typical market, no merchant who bugging you to buy the stuff they sell, instead it was silent and only the sound of metal clung can hear in the place “why does they had chains in the neck?” hara ask sahar as a guy pass them pulling a huge chained of people who most of them are demi humans and women  “they were pitiful, they were born to be ordinary and not privilege ending there life cage in that heavy metal neck brace” hara said looking those being drags by their handler “stop looking at them, come on well heading to the center of the market”. sahar said and drag the kid.

"I want to buy new clothes and an cloak!, I got only three pairs of clothes and one cloak, I'm using this for days already" hara said looking to the shop next block "we will buy one, after we finish buying" sahar said and pull her to the meat section of the market, hara rolled her eyes and keep her temper down, the man  was acting odd since they reach the town. If it's because of those poor people in chains, she could understand but she capable of defending herself more than anyone "I could buy clothes all by myself" she said trying to pull off her hand, but the man tighten he grip "no, you being alone is not an option" he said and look at her intensely trying to intermediate her, his face was so scary that could make a man scream like a lady, but not enough to intermediate her, they we equally powerful after all.

"Could you stop acting like of old fart dad will you?" Hara said in irritation, "you hired me lady, to accompany you, to keep you safe until we reach that empire. Don't complain it's for you safety" sahar said and keep pulling her to the meat shop, acting like a deaf as  his little sister started to nag.

"Four kilos of this and there of that, you got a big sock for that belly?" Sahar said looking and pointing the meat part he gonna buy, hara on the other hand stop talking since the didn't listen to her nags "you guys are travelers? Kid you should not let go or let your sis?" The old meat merchant ask "yes, mister I'm her sibling" hara said  "young lady, shouldn't walk around the city alone, you might just vanished and be seen in slave shop of human meat shop" the merchant said, it was a plain fact advice, sadness and disgust was visible in her face, her words make hara spined shiver and had a goosebumps, she still doesn't hang about slave and chain  and then their human meat shop? "Human meat shop? How could human do such thing? That was too in humane! The deity will punish those people!" Hara said almost freak out "could you explain me this? I their is rumors about human flesh sailing but, having actual met shop?" Sahar said, this was to over board! They already invading clans and tribe territory catching the and slaving them. And now human where basically killing their own? Just for what? Power? Money? Ego? How far did human greed go?

The root of this must stop! Unconsciously sahar jaws and hand tighten his eyes sharpen anger was seen on it a murderous aura covered him, the shop owner saw, he himself was angry about it but her can't go against the empire choice. His not as brave of others and not as privilege as other, but this man might could be? "This just a secret, I just can't help it seeing a little girl in the town it to dangerous, bandit are salve traders might just stop you in the road in broad daylight and take her away, no one will help you " the merchant said

 "my children was taken away from me, 3 daughters after a day I saw them in the slave store selling as **********"

" What the ****!" Hara was way to shock hearing about it.

 "It took me two months to find 4000 good coins, I bought two of them and let them seek refuge in the elf kingdom with their mother" pains was all over his face, his eyes are watery and bit his lips to prevent crying, they were seeing a hopeless father who done his best to freed his daughter in the chain of slavery

"What happened to the third one?" Hara curiously ask him he only said two that he freed, but three was captured "she wasn't their in the salve shop, her sisters said that she didn't pass the standard of a slave, my third daughter was the oldest, she got walking ang got burn in some part of her face, after a month since I got my two daughters back they reach the elf empire and I left here alone trying to find my missing daughter and that human meat shop, I don't care at first but some of my merchant friends here said that shop sell Human flesh, and their I was my beautiful daughter necklace I give her that on her 16th birthday" the merchant said with faint smile and tears coming from his eyes, it was the grief of the father losing her beloved child, hara and sahar feel pain and cannot believe that their such thing like this " what's more, that shop was legal! Nobles come and buy those to feed their cured beast pet! I'm telling this to you two, not to scare you or make you hate the empire this is a warning! Leave this town as soon as possible!" The merchant said and make a gesture to make them away " we will but first I'll but some clothes, the next town was 100 plus km meter ways and took 5 days to reach it using a donkey" they bid good bye to the merchant, the way hesitant as if he want to add more but he stop, " Uh- never mind keep going and be safe"
