Chapter 31

Chapter 31 - The King is a Jester

As the war has commenced with the armies, Jin had only laid back, and without realization of anyone, he held a chain with someone attatched to it.

"Now now, dearest. With your... lover, occupied now, when they stop they'll make a decision about whether you die or surrender again. I hope they're smart enough."

The person chained tried fighting back, but had no strength or power to do so.

"He was too busy fighting, he forgot about you." Jin snickered. The one chained tried kicking her way out, but was hopeless as she tried screaming his name out.

...

The war continued, the armies of them had slowly grew shorter, every breath of the resistance groups growing slower and harder every time.

Finally, The King's words had rang when the army was short.

"ENOUGH!" he screamed. Everyone stopped, the Squids finally retreating and the army of Jin's falling down.

"What is it now you coward!?" Tyler exclaimed.

"I have a good feeling that Sky has forgotten something." He said, holding the chained person up. Adam turned around and gasped, dropping his daggars.

"A-Alesa!"

"SHIT! How could we have forgotten..." Max growled. "Let go of her Jin!"

"Why should I!? After my two elite guards betrayed me? Why should I even listen?" He laughed, tightening Alesa's chain more. She flinched, holding onto her bind.

"So! What will it be? Surrender to protect your 'little lover' or let her die in your hands?"

But a few people were steps ahead.

Already, Carlo was setting his wand up to stun Jin, while Sub was in the trees ready to attack above. John was a distraction to charge at him, and Seto was ready to stop Jin with his magic.

As John charged with a sword at hand, Jin smirked and had tightened the chain more as Sub came flying from above, cutting the chain and letting Alesa free as Carlo stunned him with a light beam, Seto charging in from behind to stop him with magic.

"Give it up Jin!" Mitch said. "You're hopeless!"

"You're insane!" Quentin added.

"You killed people." Tyler chimed in, disgusted.

"You're done." Ian growled.

"You're driven." Jerome snarled.

"You're powerless." Ty frowned.

"You're weak." Max finished.

But Jin just laughed and laughed. Cackling. Insane. He was fear. Greed. Selfish. Anything.

"If you think I'm all that then why don't you kill me?!" He laughed, continuing to do so as he clenched onto his sides.

"You're kidding, right?" Jason asked sassingly, putting his hands on his hips.

"Are you blind?" Chris rolled his eyes.

"Look around you, Jin. We only hurt squids because they're squids. Monsters that can multiply. But people like us are only made once." Jorge said.

"I shall be reborn! Take my life! Take my heart out and rip it to pieces!" Jin continued to babble on, wanting his death. Everyone stared at the psychopath king in disgust.

"Whys donts yous justs ends its yourselfs?" John asked. Adam looked at him with concern.

"BECAUSE! I want my death to be meaningful! In front of a crowd, a life taken so I can make my name in history." He explained loudly.

"That's dumb. You do realize that your name would be scribbled into a bad format." Seto said.

"I just want to die!" Jin cried out. He hung his head with a smile.

"Let me die."

...

They threw Jin in the jailcell, somewhere inaccessible to the outside world, screaming out to die. They knew they wouldn't allow that, so they continously kept him healthy to keep his sanity as stable as it could be.

"He seems like a jester... y'know." Chris said, unamused. "Wanting his heart taken out? Sounds like a game I played." Everyone nodded in approval.

"Jin is overthrown now. Adam can finally take the crown." Ty changed the subject, placing his iron sword down to his waist. Everyone smiled as Adam walked to the balcony where the flag of Jin was, and cut it down with his blade. His cape flew majestically in the high breeze.

"KING JIN IS OVERTHROWN. WE ARE FREE FROM HIS WILL AND HIS GREED." Adam announced. The village roared in cheers, happy. Everyone smiled.

"Does this mean we can go home...?" Ashley asked.

"Not quite. We need to arrange things." Carlo answered. Krisalee ran to Ross, who was talking to Jess.

"K-King Ross... Forgive me for interuppting your talk with the Princess but... may I go with Jorge to his journey back...?" She stuttered. Ross chuckled, and had a small grin on his face.

"You are free from my kingdom. You can go with him and you can stay." He said. Krisalee beamed, running to Jorge and hugging him.

"So... now what?" Tyler asked. "Celebrate? Go home?"

...

The heroes stayed for a while longer, finally taking the chance to learn more about one another. Carlo and Ashley worked together on a mural, just like Carlo promised. Everyone spent more time relaxing, and it was nearly time to head out for an adventure.

But the story isn't over.

They wanted to go home.
To see their friends.
To see if anyone was still there.
Or if they missed them.

But what was the decision?

They wanted to go explore the ruins of the castle. Maybe they could've found something others couldn't.

There were more monsters to discover and see.

But it would mean losing contact to home.

It meant going out of their comfort zone.

But what could they do?

I can't do anything. I'm just a narrator.

But I'm not anyone in the world.
