REMNANT: A Battle Within

RABW 8: The Triad

He continued to walk forward until he reached his destination. He stopped in front of a door and knocked but nobody answered. He held the door's knob and turned it to open the door.

"Aries are you in here?" Reious called out as he entered an office full of scrolls and books scattered or piled up on the floor and on the tables.

"Yes, yes I'm here!" A cheery voice called out behind the stacks of books piled on the large wooden table at the center of the room.

"You never change Aries, your office is still as chaotic as before," a smile broke out from the general's face. A short, lean woman with messy brown hair and lively green eyes came out behind the towers of books.

"Books are my life, well aside from weapons," Aries exclaimed and smiled at Reious. "So what brought you in my sanctuary?" she asked.

If someone would see this woman and learn that she is a general, many would find it unbelievable but her might is not lesser than that of the other generals of the kingdom. She is a woman of intelligence, short as she is but her mind is sharper than any other.

"The king has given us an order, you are to lead the squad that was appointed to track the intruder who attempted to kill the prince. He wants the job to be done immediately, and he has given you the authority to use any resource you need." Aries's features turned serious at the given order.

"I will start my work right away," Aries answered and within a minute she was gone. He could only shook his head at Aries's enthusiasm. With a soft smile, Reious walked towards his own office and started to devise a plan to control the problem arising from the south.

The general was known for his swordsmanship and is already at the level of a Saint together with the other two people who make up the so-called Triad. He is also a tactician who was able to outwit many of their enemies during the wars that followed after the fall of the stars eighteen years ago.

It was a disastrous event that left the kingdom of Archellia half alive, this was an opportunity exploited by many of the kingdom's enemies to conquer the land. With the remaining force of the kingdom and with the help of the three generals, the kingdom was able to avoid any invasion.

Not long after, the kingdom was once again built brick by brick and they will continue to rise in power and be once again known as a top power in the Prism Continent. Eventually, they had experienced peace once again. Although the falling of the stars was a traumatic event to most, they chose to forget and move forward. This is one of the reasons why Archellia was able to continue standing.

"Reious!" Aries barged in the general's office and effectively startled the man. He sighed and looked at the woman whom he was just talking to a while ago. 'What was she doing in his office' He wanted to ask but never had the chance to.

"I'll be deploying my intelligence squad for the mission together with the appointed squad. Can you lend me some of your castors?" Aries smiled at the man in front of her and gave him thumbs up. She was fast indeed. It was just an hour ago after they talked with each other but Aries already had her men prepare and assemble. The intelligence squad was worthy of praise.

Reious stood up and gestured for one of the castors hiding somewhere in the room to come out. "Go to Captain Sun, tell him to prepare five Sky-level castors to go with General Aries's intelligence squad." The man disappeared on the spot after hearing his master's command.

"Whoa, they really are useful in times like this, I envy their talent." Aries sat down on one of the chairs in the office and casually looked around. "Hmmm, it's really been too long since I last visited your office but nothing has changed. It is still as boring as ever."
