U.N.S.S. & Elemental Arts [COMPLETE]

Chapter 11

We entered the huge, elegant palace. It had marble floors, big square open windows, and beautiful imported furniture's from all different bending cultures. I noticed once we walked in the guards following my Aunt left to stand by the others.
"So, After you get inside the Royal Palace, you're in the safest part of this gigantic city?" I asked, smiling as we walked Into the dining room.
"Yes. Pretty much."
"And since you're a water bender, that makes your whole culture the top dogs?"
"Um, in a way." she said in a said tone.

"I have two questions."
"Shoot." She said sitting down on one of the chairs.
"The First. Why did you build these walls? And why don't you do anything about the system you clearly dislike?" I asked.
"The longer one to answer will be question one, so I'll do that one first." She sighed and started talking.

"Years ago. When My 2 brothers, sister and I can here and learned how to bend, soon people got, sick."
"Sick?" I questioned.
"Yeah like some sort of zombie sick. So they started going crazy and devoured people's life energy, killing the person. We had already cultivated this beautiful planet and didn't want to leave, feeling our ability to bend came from something here. So We erected these walls to protect us... Assuming everyone outside the wall was dead... After a while, we didn't see the turned creatures after the fall of the Outest Wall."
"You. created, 6 walls reaching past the skies?"
"Yes. It was home to the interior of the Outer agricultural zone and farming lands. There were only a few years of peace until the breach of its one gate."
"How did it happen?" I asked shocked. This is so like an attack on titan. But a little different. Renina inhaled.
"I was told the cause was, a traitor. A fire bending traitor. At that time we didn't know people could bend anything other than the four elements. But He could, the founder of fire bending. He unlocked the human ability to manipulate lightning. I witnessed the whole event, standing on a low balcony on THE 6th wall. Only 40 meters away from the ground. I heard all the screams as they poured in.."

-Flashback to the scene. Queen Renina's POV-

I sensed something. Causing me to frown and speed walk over to the railing.

"Your Majesty?" One of my guards said.

I made it to the edge and looked over to see Him in a fire bending uniform, standing a few feet away from the shut gate.
"What are you doing? Get up here now!" A stationary guard said, cupping his mouth. He shook his head.
"No. I can't. This is the only way, for every to learn the truth about, them. I pray what I do now will someday be justified." He looked up at me. "I'm sorry. Please. Find true freedom. Unlock it..." Tears streamed down his face. "From the coming deaths, the road to the true secrets of Our broken Galaxy with being a path. Goodbye." Was all he said before raising his hands up to the clouded skies above.

Unlock the truth? What does he mean?

Before I could ask him sounds of thunder came from above and a circle of light formed over him and the gate. I looked up in confusion. The escort guard next to me looked up in astonishment and then quickly looked down at me.
"We have to go!"' He yelled over the increasingly loud noise of thundering lightening in the skies. I looked around at all the confused faces on the kids there on here as well.

Their parents were working out in the farming fields.
"We are not leaving the children!" I said yelling sternly as the yellow and white light deepened, the wind picked up as the skies above us swirled.
The guard looked at them and sighed. "Yes, ma'am." Moments later, after getting the kids on my airship I looked up one more time to see lightning coming down in a thick, silver rainbow bolt. Once we were in the air moving away from the wall, I saw it happen.
The lightning started coming down faster and faster until it hit the wall with a loud, static sound wave as large pieces of the front gate blow off.
"Queen Renina. There is no sign of Him. It looks like He's gone." A guard said from the radio. I didn't respond, shocked at what I was seeing.
The infected people turned to black dark energy built creatures walked into the farming lands. The earth and water benders down there looked shocked at seeing a chunk of the wall turn into rubble and now the infected were coming inside. I saw them start to run but the infected ran after them. They tackled most of the citizen's everyone and began to tear them about as they drained their Life force. Some tried to defend themselves by fighting back with their bending but were overwhelmed. The stationary guards did their best to evacuate the people but there wasn't enough time. The infected had already over ran the inner zones. I watched in horror at the huge gape at the bottom of the wall, when a little girl came up to me, yanking on my dress.
"Where is my Mommy?" She asked. Tears leaked from my eyes. I knelt down and hugged her aS guard came running up to ME.
