In the palace of Izhar...
"It's been what? TWO WEEKS!! and you can't seem to find one person?!" The queen roared as all the subjects knelt down to avoid direct eye contact with the outraged monarch. Her strawberry blond hair flowed straight behind her back as her green eyes glared at the people below her throne.
General Mason, who has always loathed General Scarlett since she outshone the rest of the generals of Izhar, stepped forward to speak.
" we are trying our best mother queen... but we must also take the possibility that General Scarlett may not be alive after that fall. The Nithe river is known for its violent currents, added with the fact that there are countless rapids, highwaterfalls, and" before he could proceed Octavia strongly intercepted his speech.
" She is alive! ALIVE! This is not some mere soldier or some weak individual. This is General Scarlett, the she-devil of the battlefield. Grim reaper of the enemies.The pillar of the military faction of Izhar. Descendant of the Gonsalva clan, a line of outstanding brave generals. Not even the enemies could claim her life lest some river?!" She spoke, glaring at Mason, who lightly chuckled hypocritical.
"General Octav-"
"Second commander Octavia, the general is still alive, I can not take the position." She coldly stated.
Mason gritted his teeth before he turned to the queen mother. Her crown felt heavy for the umpteenth time today, glaring at her arguing generals.
"We can not ignore true facts, my queen! So I've come up with a proposal, " Mason stated with more emphasis, glancing at the officials and other generals before proceeding.
" Since the general of the southern faction is presumably dead, let me take control over her army at the time being until this case is classified and justified."
The court blew up in murmurs immediately. They all got Mason's intentions. Everyone desired to possess the Amethyst Army of General scarlett. The outlet of the country is a formidable army with high discipline and a number of victories in war.
One who possesses the Amethyst army then, he or she commands quarter and half of the nations soldiers. For a greedy general like Mason who possessed the Ruby army protecting the borders of the north, to also want to take control of the south, too?!! It's absurd!
" As high authority of the Amethyst army, I seek the mother queen to decline the proposal. We dont want anything to do with General Mason. His army is enough for him as of now." Octavia spoke, going on her knee before the queen.
The queen sighed as she signalled her to stand. " General Mason, the North is where the capital is stationed. We need you fully focused with the northern region as of now. Jotham aint the only enemy we should be worried about." Her voice carried authority that made one want to lay their life at her command.
Yet Mason's greedy stubborness was persistent.
" You clearly heard second in command, Octavia. If not me, then who would take- "
" His Highness, the crown Prince will take over." The queen concluded in finality. Defeaning silence reigned the court.
The targeted said royal, stepped forward, and nodded in acknowledgement at the officials and generals in the room.
" Since I see fruitless search from 'you', from today the search would be led by prince Kamal and second commander Octavia may join the search with him."
Prince Kamal smiled, blinding the officials with his blond hair like her mother's and phoenix blue eyes. His cold demeaner gave him a royal look. Octavia almost face palmed herself as she realized that she may as well jumped the fire only to fall into a magma pit.

General Fiction" Who are you? Who do you work for?" I asked in a hoarse voice as I pinned the intruder to the bed. "Y..You have...startling eyes!" He commented innocently as he stared at me straight in the eyes. I tightened my hold on his neck and squinted my eye...
