From a King to a God [Awaken ] Chapter XVI

The room was infiltrated, smiles that hid lies were displayed infront of the Queen and her Guard. The Emperor and his advisor reached a conclusion and realised the outcome of this battle.

Shikage Ryu'Sugimoto

" That bastard...to think he had this trick up his sleeve...my people will be killed ... he's been planning this from the start!! Prepare my carriage. I must leave at once.

Eiji Miyamoto

" My Emperor, I say you stay here for a little longer~

Shikage Ryu'Sugimoto

'' Ecttapede will try with all his might to obtain the feather, why should I sit here?!?

Eiji Miyamoto

" Now now ... indeed Ecttapede has the upper hand here but in due time, you'll realise that his plan will crumble in an instant.. because there is a fatal flaw that Ecttapede has yet to realise.

Shikage Ryu'Sugimoto

" Eiji ...you are calculative ...and weird.

Eiji Miyamoto

" Haha, thank you my Emperor. It warms my heart when you say that.

An odd relationship Emperor Shikage and his advisor Eiji had, together they agreed to remain silent and let time take its course.

~IN OKILUARN KINGDOM~

Venska D. Veeygra

The servant will bring us our blood tea, it is not made from actual blood but it will allow us to sign our names and form a pact between the two families, your brother will be engaged to my daughter.

Venska D. Veeygra

and we will all be one family. Is this not amazing??? — She smiled brightly.

Ecttapede S'Ranski

" Indeed it is your royal highness! I cannot wait to see my brother get engaged, it reminds me of the past a little. [ I can barely remember scrap about the past...heh. ]

A servant walked into the room, holding a bowl full of red tea, another from behind holding a piece of paper and a fountain pen, they were both pushed aside. The tea fell and the pen. Broke...

A guard immediately told the Queen what happened below, a guard that survived the attack. He revealed Ecttapede's plans.

Allapede stood there in shock when he heard such, to think that his brother would go this far?!

Venska D. Veeygra

You ....— She turned to look at Ecttapede — " What did you do ...to my people?

The moment Venska raised her hand, a sword poised at her right eye ball. This weapon as held by Sauko, the battle began.

A flare went off, indicating their success in retrieving the golden feather. Ecttapede immediately ran, pushing Allapede away. Ogriek began to fight against the two siblings, he took on Sauko while Venska dealt with Suhiwo.

The Silvermoon guards came rushing out, now the tides had turned. Sauko ran after Ecttapede after realising his betrayal. All of them, Ecttapede, Allapede and Sauko ran down the stairs, chasing each other. Alussev who watched from the sidelines, smoking his troubles and worries away.

Momoyo and Taeu fought against anyone who tried to attack them.

Ecttapede S'Ranski

GIVE ME THE FEATHER!!! — He shouted as he reached the bottom of the stairs.

Momoyo

" YES YOUR HIGHNESS ~NGH — She moaned from the excitement as she pulled out the feather and immediately threw it.

Ecttapede S'Ranski

" IT'S MINEEEE!!! HAHAHAHAHA.

Allapede S'Ranski

" IT IS NOT YOU TRAITOR!!!! — He lunged forward, pushing Ecttapede.

Together they fell and so did the golden feather, Sauko reached the bottom and tried to take the rose, only for her hand to start melting.

Sauko Hakiyama

"ha-HAAAAAAAA MY HAAANDDD — The pain felt everlasting, excruciating and horrific. Not once has she ever experienced this.

Momoyo

" You shall not take the feather , you Samurai Hoe. — Her needle which was tinted with poison,pierced Sauko's hand, causing a reaction resulting to her hand melting.

It was absolute chaos, people took note of it and began their retaliation, they moved forward to the palace and so did knights, guards and other fighters from all other Kingdoms. The struggle increased, everything the Queen believed and fought for began to crumble and to think that peace would last long? A joke that many laughed at.

But even when the Queen's beliefs began to fall, one still held on to them and with that, she ran with all her might. Down the stairs and at the bottom, when the guards failed and were overpowered by the people, she inhaled as much air as she could and spoke...

Sorbera D.Veeygra

" DON'T MOVE !!!! " — Her voice caused vibrations in the air, the ground cracked as everyone froze in an instant. She installed fear in their hearts, as no one dared to move.

Sorbera D.Veeygra

" Mother....this marriage... everything... — She went down on one knee and took the golden feather, with both hands she stared at it " Is all of this... this chaos, bloodshed...was it all caused by this feather? By my power..?..I must leave...I can not stay in this kingdom, or else many will come to Okiluarn...

Sorbera D.Veeygra

and no one will be safe...

Sorbera immediately ran away with the feather in her possession. Allapede was relieved but couldn't move due to her power, if the feather could just go far away...just far enough for no one to be able to reach then maybe the Kingdom would be saved? But those were just hopes.

The colour of red was seen flying in the air, an arrow pierced right through her heart, Sorbera was shot by an enemy from afar and that enemy...

Alussev

" Sorry princess but this won't be your happy ever after.... — He exhaled the smoke as he set his bow aside.

The feather fell off from her hands, everyone stood in shock as they watched the princess fall down the stairs and lay on the ground lifeless. Ecttapede, using the little strength he had grabbed the feather and with the bracelet.... connected them.

Allapede S'Ranski

" No....

Ecttapede S'Ranski

" You were wonderful Alussev...." — He said faintly so.

Allapede S'Ranski

" No no no .. please... — He barely crawled over to her body, tears running down his eyes.

Ecttapede S'Ranski

" I knew I could count on you ... — The feather and the bracelet began to glow, his smile showed happiness even if he didn't know where Alussev stood exactly. He knew Alussev could see him.

Alussev

— A tear of his own, down his soft cheek. He knew that it was not a smile that belonged to him but it was all for her and that pained him deeply. [ Why do I feel....cold..? ]

The Golden Feather and the Bracelet connected, under a minute. All of these sequences, these deaths and bloodshed occurred in under a minute. Emotions that were let out, cries of Victory and stares of horror. It was finally time for the world to see the power of the Golden Feather, it transformed. Together they formed a golden sphere, gold dust shimmering around it. Ecttapede found beauty in it, but that beauty immediately went against him. His hands began to decay alongside his entire body His eyes filled with shock, the ground formed deep cracks, creating large halls which people fell into, Sorbera's body began to decay into golden dust as well right infront of Allapede.

This power that everyone so desperately wanted realised how destructive it can be, anyone within it's radius began to turn into dust, falling into nothing more but particles that can be blown away by the wind. Alussev watched in horror as Ecttapede, Sauko, Momoyo and Taeu began to fall apart, starting with their legs to ensure that they don't escape. True chaos began.

It was at that moment in time, the calamity started and kingdoms suffered greatly.

A surge of magical power spread throughout the world,people began to unlock magical powers but many died due to being too weak or sick.

This was the....

Golden Era of Magic but also the Great Calamity. ” — She opened the next page.

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

I see...so this is it... — She closed the book then sighed. " The Golden Feather and the serpent's brace... Interesting I must say.."
