The story talks about a young boy known as Cloud who aspired to become the greatest pilgrim warrior in Agaroth (the first warrior realm of mankind) despite his flaws, however there is more that meets the eyes as Agaroth is on the brink of extinction...
In the ruins of Keigra, within a tall wrecked house, Jagami lifts a large cedar that laid on a man and assists the man in getting up on his feet and walking. As soon as this happened, two men quickly came and took over in aiding the man to walk. "Thank you." The man weakly said to the people assisting him. "And thank you too, daughter of Iminko and Jian." The man weakly said as he glanced back at Jagami. While Jagami was watching the minors in the building lending a hand to each other, Jagami had a recollection of Onak brutally beating up Xorian and her begging and crying for Onak to stop. Jagami also recalls quickly as she was in the medical room with her head placed on Xorian's unconscious body while crying which made current Jagami to clench her fist. "Why didn't i do anything?" Jagami asked within herself, " Onak was beating Xorian to death and i did nothing. Why did i sit there and watch? He was my friend; my first friend and all i did was cry and beg, even when he helped me loosen up and see a new path." Jagami had a remembrance of the time Xorian stretched forth his hand towards her with a grin after their battle. "Regardless of who it was, i should have at least done something, be it Onak or someone else." Current Jagami said within, "I won't allow it to happen again." "Still, that person i saw earlier…" Jagami said inwardly as she remembers the face an adult male in a black cloak, "His shadow was odd. Very odd." A flashback takes place as Jagami was in the medical room, sobbing with her head and Galiel's resting on Xorian's body while her parents and Xoran watched them in sadness. "Jagami…" Iminko called as he stretched forth his hand towards her. Jagami stood on her feet and wiped the tears off her eyes. "I-i need to get some air." Jagami said. Jagami takes her leave from the medical room and the Shard court and as she reached the streets of Keigra, Jagami leaned her back against a wall and remembers the incident of her and Xorian walking on the streets and Xorian turning back to grin at her with closed eyes. "This fight is going to be so fun! Wish me luck!" Xorian said. Jagami instantly remembers the situation of Xorian laying on the medical bed with bandages wrapped round his body. "Idiot…" Jagami softly said after the remembrance. During the time Jagami was still reminiscing, the man in a black cloak walks past her and as Jagami peeped at the ground in depression, she notice of the man's shadow reassembling that of a hiveling. Jagami rubs her eyes and quickly sights the man closing in on a tall house and while she looked to the ground again, Jagami takes notice of the hiveling shadow again, leaving her short of words. The man in the black cloak sights Jagami watching him and enters the house which made Jagami frown in suspicion and walk towards the house the man entered; reluctant at first, Jagami opens the door and steps in but as soon as she stepped in, the door shut by itself, causing Jagami to glance back at it. At the time Jagami was staring at the door, the being in black cloak stood at her back with a devious smile on his face. "Hello, human." The being said. Jagami quickly turns back as her irises glowed in a startled manner. "AKAEDIAKA!!" The being said as white light shine out of his eyes and several parts of his body which created an explosion at the time several detonations occurred in Keigra. After remembering everything, Jagami gazed at the minors helping each other. "Whatever he was, he clearly wasn't human and several people in here are dead because of him." Jagami said inwardly, "There is no doubt that he might still be here but regardless, i need to help these people get out while they still can." "You there." Jagami said as she walks towards a man dressed in a grey vest with black trousers and an ocean blue bandana tied round his head, prompting the man to gape at her. "Yes?" The man said. "Status report on the people and situation." Jagami said. "67 dead, 13 injured and 34 unharmed." The man replied, "Helping the injured isn't a problem but the paths of leaving this building are blocked, thanks to the explosion." "I can get us out easily." Jagami said. "Of course, you can." The man replied with a smirk, "You're from a major tribe and you're the daughter of Iminko and Jian; i would expect nothing less." "I need everyone to stay on the alert, though." Jagami said, "The person that did this is still here." "Regardless of who the person is, i don't think that bastard would be a match for you." The man replied. "Just keep an eye out if you see anything strange." Jagami said, "You're one of the first i met in this building after the explosion and part of the people that helped bring out all that were injured in this place; surely i can trust you enough to be vigilant." "Of course you can." The man replied while smiling with closed eyes, "My eyes are as sharp as a hawk." Jagami turns her back on the man and began to walk away. "You can always count on me…"The man said while still smiling with closed eyes. "Human." The man said with a deepened voice as he opened his eyes which were like that of a hiveling. Jagami quickly turns back and instinctively guards against a punch thrown at her but it threw to a wall. In shock, Jagami brings down her guard to look at the one that attacked her, who at that time was smiling and emitting a faint blue aura. "You were supposed to be in the game." The being said as he swiftly transformed into an adult male hiveling with silver hair and blue eyes, "It seems we didn't get all the children of the academy. Regardless, i'm sure our ally won't mind if all weren't brought before him." "What in the... What is he?" Jagami asked inwardly, "Wasn't he the one that was helping me earlier? What is going on?" "No.... His face..." Jagami said inwardly as within herself as her irises glowed again. Jagami remembers the shadow of the being she went after and instantly recognized the shadow's similarities. "You... You're the one i was after." Jagami said to the silver haired hiveling, "Who are you?" "Why seek my name when you won't live to talk about it?" The hiveling asked, "The way things are, you should worry about yourself and how you'll get out alive, because it is not going to happen, human." "Sajarat!" Jagami said as she sends fragments of blue diamonds towards the silver haired hiveling at a blinding speed. "Misdirection." The silver haired hiveling said as he crossed his fingers. Jagami became stunned as she heard several cries of pain and sights her blue diamonds on the bodies of the minors in the building. "Papa!" A little girl said as she ran to her injured father who was clutching his pierced arm in agony. "Mother, are you alright?" A 13 year old boy asked while attending to his mother who was sitting on the ground in pain with a fragment was stuck on her leg. "Careful now." The silver haired hiveling said with a smile, "My kan ability of misdirection allows me to manipulate the energy flow around me, deflecting kan attacks effortlessly. This means that any form of kan-based assault, aside from pure physical strikes, is futile against me. Tell me, human, what are you going to do now?" "Non pure physical attacks can't harm him?" Jagami asked inwardly, "So the only way to inflict damage is with my fist and feet." "Dammit! This is almost like my fight with Xorian…!" Jagami said inwardly as she recalls her fight with Xorian. "Once again, i'm forced to fight with restrictions." Current Jagami said within herself while she clenched her fists, "With this guy's ability and the minors here, i could have serious problems in this fight." "What's wrong, human? Are you having second thoughts about this fight and your futility?" The silver haired hiveling asked while still grinning. Jagami showed up in front of the hiveling with her fist in a position to hit him while her irises glowed. "Shut up." Jagami said. Right before Jagami could punch the hiveling, a knee struck her on the side of her face which sent Jagami tumbling sideways. Jagami stabilizes herself and sees a female hiveling with long black hair and red eyes, standing beside the silver haired hiveling with a smile. "Behind you!!" An old adult man warned. Jagami impulsively ducks a back hand from behind and quickly leaps sideways, seeing her attacker was a male hiveling with a blue buzz cut hair and green eyes. The blue haired hiveling dashed towards Jagami and launched a series of punches and kicks at her which Jagami blocks and evades but in the process of doing this, Jagami got attacked by her side which sent her crashing on a wall, turning out to be the silver haired hiveling with an outstretched foot that smoke was oozing out of. "Pay attention, human." The silver haired hiveling said, "This isn't a one-on-one fight; this is a three on one." "This place shall be your grave." The hiveling female said, "Consider this as your punishment for not joining your peers in the game and not minding your business." "What are you people?" Jagami asked. "We are hivelings. The evolved species you humans tried to eradicate." The male hiveling with the blue buzz cut answered. "Hivelings?" Jagami asked within herself in disbelief. Hearing this, other humans in the building started murmuring among themselves. "Hivelings? In Keigra?" "Wait, they are real?" "I thought they were just rumours!" "I heard they wiped out a couple of races including the Urokai race." "These three are hivelings? But how did they get in?" Jagami asked inwardly, "They said something about my peers facing off the younger hivelings in a game; does that mean there are more of them?!" "Initially, we were just going to take our time and kill the humans here until you arrived. Now we are going to take our time to kill you before killing them." The female hiveling said. "Do you know the sad part of this?" The silver haired hiveling asked with a smile, "You are going to die without knowing the names of the ones that killed you. So sad, i feel like crying for you, 'Jagami'." "I really want to punch that silver haired bastard in the face but i don't think i can get anywhere near him with those two." Jagami said within, "I could use my blue diamonds on them but there is a chance the silver haired one will use his misdirection to protect them, plus i don't know the full strength of the three, so i need to be very careful." "I cannot underestimate them like i did before with my previous opponent." Jagami said inwardly as she remembers the face of Xorian. "Are you planning on using your blue diamonds on them?" The silver haired hiveling asked at the time he placed his hands on the shoulders of the blue buzz cut hiveling and the female hiveling, "Don't bother. These two are my siblings and they both share the same kan ability of misdirection." "Huh?" Jagami said in disbelief. "You don't believe me? Feel free to try them." The silver haired hiveling said with a smile, "I just wonder how many kanless humans you will end up hurting." The worries filled the minors watching as they understood the situation of Jagami's battle. "Papa, do you think she can win?" The little girl (the one that ran to her injured father, earlier) asked. "I'm not sure." The father replied, "I've seen her skills in the tournament and i found it hard to believe she lost, but from what i know about kan, it deepens with age and these three hivelings are adults. Though there are children that are quite capable of defeating an adult but we don't know the full strength of those three and on top of it, we minors in here are nothing but a liability in this fight. We can't leave because all the parts of escaping are blocked and even if they weren't, the moment one or a couple of us tries to leave, one of them could just kill us in a blink of an eye. The situation isn't just complicated for her but it's complicated for us too." As Jagami was staring at the three hivelings, Jagami exhaled with closed eyes. "I'm sorry, minors, but this is the best i could think of for the moment." Jagami said. Jagami placed her palm on the ground and multiple blue diamonds sprung out of the ground and formed shells in covering the kanless humans. "What are you doing?" The silver haired hiveling asked. "Protecting them." Jagami answered. "By creating blue diamond shells to cover them?" The silver haired hiveling asked, "That's not bright at all." "Whether it's bright or not, i don't mind. As long as i can fight without much worries, then it's alright." Jagami said, "Plus, it doesn't hurt to be a little dim at times." "Is this human serious?" The female hiveling asked with a bland face. "For someone who happens to be the daughter of the famous Iminko and Jian of the human race, you are quite disappointing." The silver haired hiveling said. "My parents don't define who i am. I am my own woman." Jagami said, "And if you think because of your kan ability or you being adults, i won't stand a chance, then you three are greatest jokers i have ever met. I have defeated an army of fifty adults on my own, so fighting the three of you is nothing special." "Hoh?" The silver haired hiveling said with a raised brow. "I am Jagami of the Graundar tribe of Agaroth!" Jagami said while emitting a blue aura, "Remember this name..." "Because it will be last thing you'll carry to your grave." Jagami said with a smile as her irises glowed.
