The Calling

Chapter Five

As the meeting started, Nameless two male champion counterparts kept glancing at her. 

"King Trex, there must be some reason for you to choose...A girl?" the king of the heavens remarked smugly, while his queen nudged his side hard. 

"not that there is anything wrong with it." The queen added to stay polite. 

King Trex smiled large amused that the King of the Heavens, King Horizon hasn't lost his touch. 

"It is not something to trouble yourself with Queen Celest." King Trex and Queen Sora both smiled. 

King Horizon gesture for the tall arrogant, blonde boy to step forward. He puts his arm around the boy, "This is Skyward Malcone. He is the Champion of the Sky. He has the largest wing span and is of the family Malcone, they own a wing racing tournament." The sky king boasted, Skyward puffs out his chest, Nameless rolls her eyes unimpressed. 

The king of the earth and sea capital, Poseidon, King Driftwood and his queen, Queen Reefly, had their champion, the sensitive brown haired boy. "This is Mako Waves. He is our champion, he has the fastest swim time for the water and land race, making him the perfect fit. He also is single." King Driftwood stared at Nameless as she growls lowly. Uninterested and pissed off he would suggest that she would ever want stuck up snobs. 

King Trex glared at the two other kingdoms, Queen Sora cleared her throat. 

"she isn't an easy prize to win." she plainly states, making it obvious that I wasn't swayed to dating let alone marrying either champions. 

"I am not some prize in general. I am a person, and gods forbid if I have to beat the ever loving crap out of you two I will not hesitate." Nameless glares at the two other champions before her. Skyward winks at her while Mako waves at Nameless shyly waved at her. She curtsied to stay polite but looked absolutely pissed at everyone but her own king and queen. 

King Horizon gave out a belly laugh as his wings opened, they were wide, and large. He even looked similar to Zeus himself. He wiped his tears from his electric blue eyes. 

"You have a true spit fire there Trex." King Horizon leaned onto the table "Now down to business, the Shadow rogues have been spotted up in the Sky Capital. I want to know how the ever loving gods how they got up there, and more importantly how they grew to be not only in Hades, But throughout the entirety of Olympus." Nameless remembered how a Shadow wolf came to her at the night and she couldn't read the rest of her letter due to her destroying it before this very meeting, how ever she still kept the necklace. The very one she wanted back in the day. She knew her father was involved some how, but she had to do more digging. This could have gone back to the war of the capitals from nearly 3000, years ago. 

After the meeting, the champions was allowed to go meander around the palace. Nameless head down to the largest library in all Olympus. The Library of Hades. Nameless opened the enormous doors of the library entrance. As she searched the shelves, that were 12 levels high and 24 levels side to side, she finds it. The history of Olympus. She sat down rolling out the scroll out. 

'Around 3000 years ago, a war broke out between three different factions, which were known as Hades, Zeus, and Poseidon. They all had assassins, but the top three that served their factions were the Tidal Waves, the Sky Hawks and finally the Shadow Rouges.' Nameless paused her reading. 

"Just how old are the Shadow Rouges?" she asked, absolutely confused and stunned. 

'During the tidal wars, set on the land, that war was known as the Moki (Mo-Kie) war, named for the bitter sweet winning of the Zeus realm.' As she kept reading, it kept getting vaguer and vaguer about what really transpired during the war. 

Nameless growled in frustration, "How the hell isn't there anything left of the old ages?! It was the turning tide of our civilization!" She rolled up the scroll as she put it back she noticed something under the bookshelf, she reached under the bookshelf, and left something. She grabbed and pulled out a USB drive, one built for a super computer, as she looked it over, it was sleek and metallic, it glowed a blueish green hue, pulsing as if it was living. Nameless stuffed it into her dress pocket as the doors opened. Skyward strutted in along with Mako trailing behind him.

"Hey there pretty thing," Skyward fluttered his wings, trying to impress Nameless, "I was wondering if you wanna get to know us more. Ya know, pick one of us?" Skyward wiggled his eyebrows trying to act charming, but it wasn't working. 

Mako speaks up, "I'm just here for the books." Skyward looks at him confused

Nameless chuckled softly "So you like books too?" Mako softly smiled back, "Knowledge allows for a better understanding of the world we live in today. How we were in the past doesn't define us, it's our present that helps define our future, and there's always a redo button." This makes Nameless smile, meeting someone just as wise at times as she can be. She sighed. She wished her father could see her now. A part of the royal court, getting a better life, a higher education then the crap they tried to teach her in the slums they called a school. She sighed having to remember just how many people ended up in the medical wing, in detention, fights, and each other.

She shuttered at the thought, remembering a rumor of two of her old school mates doing the dirty in the horrid, haunted, second floor boys bathroom. They ran out screaming due to a ghost sighting. She chuckled, knowing it was the school prankster, Robbie Mcinunny. He was a total menace and didn't take anyones crap. Nameless and him were close friends. But that didn't last long. She knew why, even if they said it was a tragedy, she knew better. She knew the truth. It wasn't a case of  stray bullet, he was deliberately killed. She knew why.
