Nash's P.O.V

Well, that went well that I expect it to be!

During my talk with the Edenia ladies, Bo Rai Cho was sitting at one of the chairs drinking his favourite wine in his hand. Mileena was exchanging glances between me and Kitana, who was tending to her mother. Jade had her arms crossed, her head down.

Long story short: It is decided that Kitana will rule Outworld but it was just a suggestion since we have other fighters and let's not forget a certain Aztec god might not be okay with it!

"But other than that," I began, voice wavering. "I think we should all rest for today and plan a meeting for tomorrow? So that everyone's on the same page?"

I was afraid that I might have offended them, since none of the Edenia ladies were smiling aside from Mileena. I feel alone in this room even if it's full of people who wanted to speak with me. Guess it's just me not being an expert on social cues as Bryan would have called it.

Should've let him dragged me to every hangouts and parties back when we were in school.

"I'd take that offer anytime!" said Bo Rai Cho, taking another swig of his drink. "Ladies, you know how much we all need to recover. Besides that, we need support from all sides or else we're just enhancing Shao Kahn's goal."

Bo Rai Cho was slapped in the face by Sindel's hair, much to my horror. Remember when I thought coming to the Mortal Kombat world meant having a harem just like my favourite types of anime? Yeah, I wished I didn't imagine that after everything I've been through!

"Do not even compare us to that monster," Sindel growled before turning her attention towards me. "Young man, as much as things has changed in the past, we all agree that you and your friends need to go home."

I could only nod. If we stay here long enough, time might as well passed in our world. I'm scared at the thought of us coming back but everyone around us are either gone or aged badly. Not to mention the girls might not want to go home since they decided to date Outworld men.

I'm not going to mention Azril and Frost's relationship since either one of them is going to have my head as a trophy. 

The only one I would like to talk to now would be Bryan, who's probably busy with the Special Forces right now. Okay, he and I may be different but the both of us do share the same wavelength. I just hope after this I could go and talk to him.

"I think Bo Rai Cho is right," I spoke up, back stiffened while my hands are balled into fists. "Let's see what all sides would say about this and in the end, we can decide who can be the new emperor. I don't know whether it is Outworld or we could actually get Edenia back, but I know one thing's for sure."

I scanned the room. All eyes were on me and now the feeling of doubt was starting to come back. I took a deep breath and said: "It's a new era. We can rebuild what was destroyed and make sure all of Outworld knows that they are safe."

Mileena and Bo Rai Cho seemed to be the only two people who agreed with me while the three ladies sat in silence.

Dear god, when will this nightmare end?!
