RUSTDO AFTER THE GREAT WAR WITH SHRENTI
“I face every one of you my subjects grieving with the lost of our countrymen who braved the war with such valiant and honor that enabled us to still keep our land. Though we had lost a great deal of men; our family and our friends…remember that it is through their sacrifice that we still stand tall here gathered together as a one nation. I, as your king is mourning and with all my heart I pray and surrender them to the Gods.”
The King Garon of Rustdo faced his subjects in the capitol where: men, women and children were huddled together with devastated looks in their faces. The long time war with the Shrenti just ended and a lot of blood was shed and a great number of lives were lost on both sides that made them mutually forced to surrender and pursue negotiations. Although everyone knows that both of the countries are just doing this to be able to revive so that they can once again come in to power and finish off each other and decide once and for all who the victor is.
“Are you sure with that decision? This is a very risky deal!!” an exasperated voice erupted from the chamber belonging to a woman who is the Queen
“I have thought of this for so long! We just can’t let the sacrifice of our men go into waste; we need this in order to assure our victory in the future.” the King calmly explained with such certainty
“I assume that you have finally decided then... I would be glad to hear your resolution now regarding the matter.” a poignant voice surprised the couple
“Ares God of War I respectfully accept your gracious deal.” even though the king was able to say each word with such calm, his body was shaking all over
“Gracious? HA HA It is not at all gracious, I’m not doing this for the sake of any human whatsoever it’s all for my personal interests. You see even with my prowess in war I’m still looked down by the other Gods and so to prove of what I can really do I would have your wife conceive my son who has all the skills and natural talent that I have in combat and leadership that made me worthy of the title as the God of War.”
“I certainly agree.” it was all the words that came from the King who is clearly overwhelmed by the presence of the God
“Well then… if it’s that so. Take this vial and make your wife drink it as soon as possible, and wait till the deal is fulfilled. I entrust everything to you, but you shall name him Elixir.” with that, the voice became distant and the atmosphere in the chamber went back to normal
“He said as soon as possible. Can you drink this now my dear Athilda” the King slowly approached his wife who was in the corner of the room clearly scared of the incident that just occurred
“This will make me conceive the son of the God of War, the person who will ascertain our victory over the Shrentis?” the Queen took the vial hesitantly from his husband who held her other hand assuring her
“Yes my Queen. He will be the one who will avenge all the lives that were lost from our country.”
“Well then cheers for the land of Rustdo.” the Queen drank from the vial without leaving any single drop
