Tomorrow will be the start or even the end of the new Era. Everyone was clenching their weapons!
"My Queen I think we should lend the content of the Armory to our people. The newly arrived peasants and other refugees had already decided to fight along with us. But they don't have any weapons to defend themselves." King Eres reported.
Luna is currently surveying the content of the armory and she held her hand to give the order.
"Let all of them get their weapon. Only those who are willing to fight for their destiny will be chosen by the relics to be their owners." Luna ordered.
The refugees followed Luna's order. They all fall in line and everyone had chosen their weapons. And one by one they went back to their designated post.
Luna watches them in triumph. But her attention was caught by a two youngsters who are hiding from the distance. She smiles at them and motioned them to come closer.
"What are you doing here?" She asked them in kind and sweet tone.
The two young lads looks at her sternly and they answered.
"We will join the war! And we heard that you can lend us the weapons that we needed." The two lads chorused.
Luna stares at the two lads for a moment. He can see the determination on their eyes. And it will crushed their hopes if she will reject their request.
"What are your names and how are you?" She asked the two lads.
"I'm Saki. I'm 13 and this my Sister Maki she's 11.Actually we are not blood related. We live on a same village." One of the lads answered.
"Where are your parents? Your family? Will they allow you to join the incoming war tomorrow? You're two young to join this battle." Luna answered.
Suddenly Maki cried and Luna comforted her by hugging her. She can feel the pain on girl's cry.
And Saki narrated what happened to them.
"Our family had been slain by the Rundaryans. We saw how our village burned to cinders and how our friends been killed by those soldiers.Maki and I managed to escape when my Mother put us on a empty barrels we saw everything that happened. They had set our home on fire and Maki loses her consciousness because of the smoke. Somebody helped us and she managed to let us escaped our burning house. The Soldiers had fled and they left our whole Village in flame. That stranger helped us as we keep on looking for possible shelter where we can stay. But she's severely injured and she didn't make it."
Luna felt sad to hear the two sibling's story.
"But before she died she told us that we should go here. And she just said we should follow the light and moon will show the way. And after days of starvation and endless traveling we finally arrive here." Maki added as she wipe away her tears.
Luna glances at the open doors of the armory.
"Are you sure about your decision that you will join this war. You may die if you still insist to join. The battlefield is not a playground for young lads like you." Luna asked in serious tone. She was hoping that it will change the lads decision.
"We are sure and we don't care if we die. If we won't fight for our freedom what is the essence of living if we will just depend to somebody to do it for us." Saki answered.
Maki just nodded her head but her determination flares on her eyes.
The other leaders are listening from the distance.
Luna looks at them and they just nodded their head showing they had already given their approval.
She motions the two young lads to follow her. And she lead them to the chamber where she let Lady Godiva get her lunari relic.
