Chronicles of the Star-King

Chapter 11: The Advisor's Arrival

The Capital City, Lune, of the Holy Empire of Lubelius, the known headquarters of the Western Holy Church.

As the sun stood at its peak, the country remained bustling with activity, as the distant chatter could be heard even in the farthest of its walls. Just another day for the citizens, it seemed.

A small child, accompanied by her parents holding her tiny delicate arms, walked around the market after they had finished their prayers to their absolute deity, God Luminous. Giggling as her father put her on his shoulders, she looked up to the heavens above, until an uncanny flash of light was seen in the distance.

"Papa, Mama. Look, a shooting star"

"Hahahaha. Shooting stars don't appear at noon dear"

"No, look"

The child, pulled her father's head upwards, bringing him to look at the light she was seeing.

Seeing just what his daughter saw, his eyes widened, as he grabbed hold of his wife and child, quickly dashing to the nearest building door he could see and rushed in.

Seconds later, a small, human-sized projectile sped over the city in a blur, until—

BOOM.

A extreme gust of wind, washed over the entire city, throwing everyone around several meters, as if a sudden hurricane had struck them. Screams arose, as the entire city found itself in chaos as many discovered their family injured and children blown away.

Panic. Desperation. Fear. Dread.

These feelings grew in the people's hearts, as the ones they cared about were washed away by the sudden 'storm'. Sight quickly became horrid, small knives flying straight into people's bodies, people flung into the sharp spears on the side lanes and compounds, everything became dark in a matter of seconds.

Amidst all this, many began to pray for their family, their friends, their...everything, to the only god they were taught to worship, their god and protector—

Please save us, God Luminous!

The people prayed, hoping for the guards... no, their 'God' to help them, to aid them in their desperate time of need.

"Gather up the wounded, heal the ones with light wounds, bring the ones who are in critical condition to me"

A feminine, yet commanding voice echoed throughout the region. Turning their heads, the people's widened eyes were met with a beautiful woman with short black hair, and violet eyes, donning the armor of the Holy Knights, with a sharp gaze watching over them.

Recognition hit the people's hearts, as they felt hope being conceded. After all, how could they not, when the leader of the 10 Great Saints, humanity's protectors, stood among them.

How could they not when Hinata Sakaguchi herself had come to their aid!

In another place, the father of the child who had just rushed his family inside a building, avoiding disaster, opened the door, and coming out, was met with the sight of Holy Knights rushing over to help with the injured. But his eyes did not even seem to register it, as his eyes remained fixated at the sky.

Looking up to the sky, he was met with a trail in the sky, piercing the clouds.

Rather than feeling unnerved or afraid, his face beamed happily, something that unnerved a knight who was helping the woman beside him on the ground.

Suddenly, his eyes teared up, glistening under the sun with the familiar sentiment of nostalgia and hope. His mouth opened, revealing his cracking voice—
