"Welcome to your life,"

Operator looked at the rookies training and discovering their special attacks,having a magic user was already as rare as having a jewel colored avatar.Among the sea of purples,she could see a jade avatar as well as a opal one.Her cape billowed in the wind,giving Operator a regal yet menacing look as she watched from her office.

"There's no turning back."

Jester laughed as he watched his fellow entertainers performed in a parade,specially for him of course.Clapping his hand like a child as he watched an avatar swallowed a burning stick,he could behave like a elementary child sometimes.
His yellow paint shone off the sun like he was the most gorgeous thing on the game,which he thought he was.His jester hat's bells jingled softly  in the wind,however,the view that he chose allowed avatars to see how charming he can be of time.

"Even while we sleep.."

Contrived sat down,sipping a cup of tea.It fascinated him how a game could made a virtual image of a liquid that could give you the thoughts of drinking an actual tea.Sighing,he lied down and looked at a book about warfare and peace,hoping it would satisfy his mind dried of preachings.

"We will find you æçtįñg œñ ÿøür bęßt bêhåvįœr..."

The new green king,Trooper was very strict.He did not believe of having his soldiers doing 'training' on their own,but underneath that armor was a kind heart.He'd already proven that to Operator,whom he thought as a love interest,gave her roses which she accepted kindly.

"Tûrn yœür bæçk œn Mother Nature."

Few years ago..after Preceptor was killed and before Combatant was executed.
One of Bowman's great general had fallen under Combatant's wrath,murdered miserably and thrown into a bloody basin.The general was only found hours later,already in a fatal condition,too late.

"C-combatant..."He muttered before coughing some more,Bowman  just stood there,bewildered and shocked.The Blue King carried the general in his arm shedding a few tears.'This was not happening..'Bowman thought while pulling the general closer to his armor,crying helplessly now.

"D-don't cry.."The general demanded weakly while his head patted Bowman's shoulder..and then he was gone.His particles floated away like dust while the Blue King cried even more,tears leaking out from the holes on his mask.
A broken King with his colleague taken away from his grasp.

Combatant laughed as he saw his army fighting Bowman's,a sick King drenched in the gluttony of power.His hands thirsted the way that lives were in his hands.His servants looking scared out of their minds as him as Combatant chuckled darkly.He said,

"Everybody wants,..to rule to world."

Operator gasped as Combatant held her throat,her soldiers and friends all gone..because of him.His grip on her was tight,never had in her life,she had felt so weak and helpless.Combatant traced her jawline and tilted her head up forcefully while chuckling at her helpless position as his other hand gripped her throat.This isn't the Combatant she knew,he was brave,strong and loyal not a lying and manipulative snake.If Bowman had not saved her at that moment...who knows what would've happened.

"Its my own...design,"

Bowman shook that memory away,breathing slowly as he stared at a photo frame.He never wanted to remember his friend nor the incident,it's too painful,from Combatant's death to his general's.

"It's my own...remorse."

The current Red King,was Scarlet Rose,or preferably called,Greenskeeper.She was a hyperactive and happy character who fit in exactly with the citizens of the Saffron reign and befriended Jester.However,she had haunting pasts just like any other King she'd met.

"Help me to decide.."

Scarlet screamed when she saw her commander dead,Bordeaux,half of his body was already blown by the wind away.She clenched her gun tighter,determined to end the bloodshed.She roared with fury and angry as she knelt down to her friend's corpse,shutting her eyes closed as if it was all a bad dream.She breathed in and out shakily as fear covered her face behind the visor.

"No!"

"Help me make the most of freedom....
         And of pleasure..."

"Nothing ever last f.o.r.e.v.e.r."

"Everybody wants to rule the world."
.
"There's a room where the light won't you...holding hands while the wall come tumbling down.
                                       When they do I'll be right behind you,so glad that we almost made it,so sad that we had to fade it."
