UNDESTINED

Chapter 5 : Insanity

Zeus asked a nearby shop owner if he know anybody by the name of Lady Llyanna. Unfortunately, he didn't know anybody named Llyanna. So, Zeus asked the shop owner right next to the previous one and he said "Uhm, Excuse me? Do you know anybody named Llyanna?". "Yes, I do, may I know the reason why?" Said the shop owner "Well you see, I'm finding my lost sister and here's her necklace" Zeus replied, and they continued discussing until the shop owner told Zeus to find a three-story yellow house with dandelions on a flower pot in front of the house. Zeus thanked the man and gave him 100 silver coins in return for his kindness. On his way to Lady Llyanna's house he noticed there are a fewer people walking, soon he found Lady Llyanna's House. He's thrilled to see her sister, excited he walked towards the door and knocked.

It was all peaceful until The Kingdom of Greed had wage war towards The Kingdom of Katayaeka. The Kingdom of Greed will launch their attack in a month, and until then there is no confirmation if they will attack. There is no information of how big their infantry is, because of that all person that is currently living inside the kingdom will be trained by an Officer that the Commander will assign. A week has passed and their defense seemed impenetrable, A very long trench is dug, Cannons are placed every 10 meters, and Weapons are distributed to the Officers and will be handed to the civilians when the enemy has come.

When Zeus is about to knock on Lady Llyanna's door he was stopped by his guards, and they told Zeus that King Dmitri is ordering him to come home immediately and will tell him everything after he is back home. Zeus insisted in coming home because he knows that his elder sister is just right in front of him but his guards warned Zeus that they will use force if he defies his fathers' orders. Zeus is Dismayed and Miserably went home.

Diana trained very hard and she volunteered to be a cook for everyone along with five volunteers. After done cooking she now distribute a meal for everyone. She can see the faces of Adults, Children and Adolescents in bliss. She had never felt so happy in her life. She sat down and let out an exhausted exhale; releasing her tiredness and feeling just a little bit more energetic.

Zeus asked his father King Dmitri "Father Why? I almost found my elder sister!", "I'm sorry son, but the whole kingdom will be in danger soon and I must keep you alive" King Dmitri said. "But Father! We could've saved my sister!" Zeus said, "It's been a long-time son, even I don't know if she's alive" King Dmitri said while looking at Zeus eyes and walks away. Zeus screams in frustration and cried out of misery. He hoped that she'll be okay.

A man woke up in the afternoon, Thirsty he got out of his house to drink some water from the rain catcher he made. But he was interfered by the sounds of stomps. Slowly it became audible. "What are those?" He said while squinting at the horizon figuring out what is that tiny silhouette he is seeing. Slowly it became bigger and bigger until the man realized what was going on. He screamed, yelled and vehemently shouted "EVERYBODY!! ALERT THE OTHERS!! THEY ARE HERE!!" Quickly everyone is alerted and instantly knew what was going on and alerted the Soldiers.

Hurriedly they equipped themselves with weapons and armor while one of the guards deliver the message that they are attacking to the other 4 towns. When they all returned the silhouette is gone. All of them are confused because the silhouette is still small when they saw it, could it be a false alarm? Right under their noses they got attacked swiftly with little to no effort. Some of them tried to fight back and some tried to run away. But most of them got killed.

An hour later only the town where Diana lives is still standing. Zeus can't take it anymore, he escapes and tries to find Diana. He rode a horse sprinting on his way to Lady Llyanna's house. But after going there he found nothing. After searching for a couple of minutes of finding she heard a woman scream. Zeus quickly headed towards the scream. She saw a woman about to get killed but hurriedly Zeus equips his bow and aimed for the enemy's head. With extreme focus he let go of the primed arrow; twirling with beauty it drilled itself into the enemy's head with ease. Blood exploded from where the impact came from and the man falls on his back.

He saw the woman's face it resembles very much like his mother's. "Could it be?" He thought to himself. He looked at the woman's neck to see if she is wearing the necklace. He'd never been so ecstatic. "Thank you, kind sir!" She said "May I know your name?" She added "The name's Zeus" He said while in a trance out of shock and happiness. "By any chance is your name Liwanag?" Zeus asked, "No. I'm afraid not, my name is Diana" Diana said. Zeus tried to convince her that she is her youngest brother. They argued that the necklace she wore was the only type of necklace in this kingdom can wore and It was kept secret from the public.

When Diana is about to be convinced, it was too late, three enemies ganged up on Diana beheading her. "Run! Brother..." She said while throwing her necklace towards Zeus. He went home riding on his horse, telling the family the tragedy and Zeus showed them the proof that She was still alive and struggling up until she died.

The kingdom falls down to its knees. Zeus's Family is killed by the enemies, and he was left alone hiding somewhere
