Fate once again

Meeting Sar'gen parents

+++

From early morning, everyone in the camp was on edge. Alkalala and Jan'gen were due to arrive around lunchtime. Masari had never met them before, but he'd heard plenty. Most of Asira's children were in an absolute panic. Even the usually poker-faced Sar'gen looked visibly tense. Still, it was also clear how eagerly each of them awaited the visitors' arrival—especially the youngest of the triplets, Janlal and Biras.

Those two couldn't stay still for even a second, constantly running back and forth to check the road. It was actually very cute, and Kedra teased them, calling them "mummy's boys."

When Alkalala and Jan'gen finally arrived, it was another shock for Masari. He had never encountered such a strange couple before.

Alkalala was a very tall warrior,  taller than  Vulal, and here Masari thought that Vulal was the tallest man he had ever seen.  She wore her heavy armor, which made her look even more intimidated. Masari could immediately see how the mere appearance of Alkalala at the battlefield could bring the enemies to their knees in fear. She was indeed a monster...strong...tall...fearless...with a huge spear over 2 meters in her hand. Alkalala could fight an army by yourself. Alkalala wore a helm with distinctive features of a tiger.  Every step she made sent waves of power around her, like an earthquake.

Suddenly, Masari felt a strange tingling in the air and turned around, puzzled. The air filled up with powerful energy, different from Alkalala. If Alkalala was an earthquake, the new energy was like water flowing gently but without stopping, pulling everyone inside deep like a whirlpool. It was Jan'gen. He was not as tall as his wife. Jan'gen was a good-looking man, with a pale face and dark blond hair. Jan'gen gets off the horse motionlessly, silently, without making any noise or useless movements. His legs touched the ground, but he seemed like he was floating in the air. Masari remembered that Jan'gen was from a famous family of martial arts fighters, but it was just too simple to describe the enormous amount of energy that Jan'gen released just from standing there. He was a very handsome man with dark eyes and short hair, with an almost perfectly proportioned face. 

-Oh my babies...- Alkalala removed her helm, her long, almost white hair went loose as she hugged her youngest ones, who joyfully jumped in her hands as she lifted them from the ground easily and effortlessly. - I missed you so much... you've grown so fast...

-Solala, Vulala, Sar'gen! - Alkalala continued hugging her children...- Kedra...my baby girl. - Alkalala grabbed Kedra as well in her bear hug. Kedra was the daughter of Alkalala's oldest brother, her niece.

-Oh...who might it be? - Alkalala looked at Masari and smiled, her blue eyes the same color as Sar'gen's, twinkling.

-Mother, it's Masari, General from Gozal. I wrote to you in a letter. - Sar'gen wanted to continue, but Alkalala raised her hands, interrupting.

-Oh...yes yes...I remember now...Masari...nice to meet you. 

- Your majesty. - Masari politely bowed his head, but the woman laughed. Alkalala looked a bit like Vulal and Solala, she was not a traditional beauty, but her distinctive features made her stand out a lot. Her eyes were sharp, capturing everything around her.

- You can call me Alkalala. Zorka, my oldest daughter is now called Majesty....

-Masari...you are a very nice looking man, I would say...- Alkalala walked closer to Masari with a smile. - You are tall, handsome, and your sword...- The mother of Sar'gen noticed the sword immediately.- Your sword is a himur, isn't it?

Masari was very shocked to hear it, he touched his sword and looked back at Alkalala.

- Full package for sure...How about joining my family, Masari?
