Revelation

The Path is Yours

Hey, guys! It's finally the moment you and I have all been waiting for: a new story! Yes! Finally! This story has been in the works for months and I am so excited to show you guys the finished work! I have to admit, this story wanted me to both sing and sob on multiple occasions. But, I am not one to be deterred from my goal and now, my fellow friends and readers, I present to you: Revelation.

A young woman stood in front of a lake, gazing at the sunset. Basking in the warmth of the retreating sun, she closed her eyes and took slow, deep, appreciative breaths. She was alone but at peace.

She opened her eyes, taking confident, trusting steps into the water, the water calming itself upon contact. She could feel it welcoming her back, like an old friend, as she began stepping deeper and deeper. While doing so, she began to sing.

Swaying and being swayed

One's thoughts flowlike bubbles

Down the river stream

A lone tear escaped her cheek. Taking a deep breath, she slowly descended into the water, no trace of her left behind on land.

That hand will open up the path to tomorrow

She closed her eyes for a moment, relishing the peace and solitude that the water brought her. Up ahead, a bright, shining light was glowing, almost as if it was beckoning her. With no hesitation, she swam towards it, disappearing altogether.

Two armies stood at opposite sides of the rough terrain, awaiting their command from their respective leaders. On the side that had a cliff that served as an advantage for incoming troops, stood the Euna Kingdom, the nation that was known for being glory-seeking and cunning. The opposite side, with plains that stretched far and wide, was the Hnda Kingdom, a nation that was revered by many as peace-loving and bountiful with good resources for its citizens.

Two armies. Two kingdoms. One war.

The leader and also the eldest prince of the Euna kingdom, Eugene, gave a silent command with his hand and immediately his army started running towards the Hnda army, which was not long followed by the Hnda Kingdom charging at them also.

The eldest prince and the leader of the Hnda Kingdom, Hiccup, was running at a god-like speed, skillfully jumping past and vaulting off enemies with an acrobat's flexibility and slashing them with his sword, the Night Fury blade.

After defeating a group of Euna soldiers that had surrounded him, he looked up to the cliff and saw Eugene.

"You!" he pointed at him. "You should know me as the first prince of Hnda, Hiccup! To all of your Euna troops," he smirked, "I hope you do your worst."

The opposing leader seemed unfazed by his insult. "I am the first prince of Euna, Eugene.

"Brace yourself," he said solemnly, drawing out his weapon, Corona, a sword wreathed in dark flames, "for you shall disappear under my blade!"

He spurred his horse on and masterfully jumped off the cliff, slashing any unfortunate Hnda soldiers who got in his way, his furious eyes on the equally wrathful Hiccup.

With their swords both drawn proficiently, and a revenge for each other's kingdom, they began a bitter clash to see who would come out on top and who would stay at the bottom.

Both figuratively and literally.
