The Greatest Warlord

Resurrection 1

Days have passed as Anna and the Young Man traveled through valleys and over mountains to avoid being discovered by any civilization. Each day, they journeyed onward, and each night, they set up camp to enjoy the starry sky. When it rained, they sought out a nearby cave to keep their clothes and luggage dry.

They live freely in the wilderness and feel no regret for leaving civilization behind for good. Occasionally, the man in the shadows comes to persuade them. But instead of rejecting him harshly, they invite him to join them around the warm bonfire. Sometimes, the man in the shadows invites his twin sister, the lady of light, Brighter Than Light, Weiss, to join them as well.

Each day is a perpetual routine for both of them. Sometimes there are three of them, sometimes two, and occasionally four. At times, they camp for one to three days longer, as Anna has a hobby of developing potions to rejuvenate plants. The Young Man willingly accompanies her on her journey.

But those daily routines are not just ordinary—they have a purpose and a clear destination. To achieve ultimate peace, they need a proper place to stay. That perfect haven is located near the Great Elven Forest, a land filled with lush greenery and vibrant vegetation.

To reach the Great Elven Forest, they must cross the border between the Human Kingdom and the Great Elven Forest, which is quite troublesome since the humans may already be aware of their identities. Therefore, they choose to take a detour that is three times longer than the original route. Although this detour takes more time, they have no pressing reason to arrive quickly.

Instead, they both enjoy the adventure, discovering worlds they never knew existed beyond the Evil King's Palace.

From the peak of a mountain, they could see how the humans live within the Kingdom, now thriving with advanced technology. It was the same Kingdom that Anna had destroyed in the past, now transformed into something she could never have imagined. The winds of nostalgia hit her deeply, bringing a smile to her face.

The Young Man also gazes at the kingdom the humans have built. It's beautiful to see from such a distance, and he wonders how she feels, witnessing the beauty she once tried to destroy.

"Are you regretted? Finding yourself trying to destroy this place once." the Young Man ask.

"Not even the slightest. I believe it was because of the hardship they overcome in the past; they could grow better like this."

Anna smiles as she answers the Young Man's unspoken question. It was a question she had asked herself long before his arrival—whether she would despise seeing the world grow beyond her expectations or not.

But the real question she can never answer is whether she made the right choice in joining sides with the Evil King.

"That's remind me. Why do you reject the offer from Noir? If they could revive The Evil King, then will be your questions answered?" ask Anna while looking at his eyes.

Averting his eyes, the Young Man look at The Kingdom of Humans once again. The tranquility of the scenery help him remember his reason having adventure with his former colleague under The Evil King command.

"I was once live in solitary confinement and you know that pretty well. The first and the last time I depart from my chamber is when I ordered to gave the little girl's doll, in a place above the clouds. I was mesmerized by the view of that place but I have no choice than to retreat as I should never be exposed to the world. I want to know how it feels to be free, I want to explore the world I know nothing about. Thus my goals remain the same, I want to see the world with you." explain the Young Man.

Shocked, Anna never expected to hear those exact words from his mouth so soon. She had thought it was impossible for him to say something like that, but she was wrong. Perhaps, he was simply too straightforward to understand the deeper meaning of his own words.
