Parallel - A Virtual Reality.

V2. Chapter 5. First Death, Unforgiving Time. (Part 2)

"What should we do about this?" asks the man in front of Kagito and Eliana. He is one of the commanders that they had positioned—his name is Arthur and he is currently level 136

"We will wipe the floor with them" Eliana orders, trying to make sure that Kagito wouldn't intervene

"Yes, but wouldn't it be better for us to call the other two?" asks Arthur

"There is no need, they are on a mission" Kagito interjects before Eliana could interrupt him again

Both Arthur and Eliana become surprised. Arthur also knew of Kagito's and his moments of seriousness, and while this is war, it still was only a rather small one. In fact, it could simply be classified as a skirmish.

"Even so, this needs the cooperation of every member"

"They are doing what they believe is right, and so we will respond in kind. Let's begin preparations" Kagito orders to terminate any further conversation.

"Okay, but what should I tell the others?" Arthur inquires, still unconvinced by Kagito's answer

"Tell them that we will win, be it by defending or with us attacking. Our ambition is to become even stronger and expand; if we were to need them now then we will surely be doomed in the future"

Eliana was surprised by the answer that Kagito gave, but she also recognized of its truth.

"Ok, I will tell the others and begin preparations" Says Arthur as he takes his leave, of course, he could have just PMed them, but some of the commanders are NPCs. Therefore, they needed direct orders.

"Well done, Kagito" Says Eliana praising the spineless man in front of her who just sighs as if his life force was leaving him.

"Thanks... but I didn't expect another guild would wage war against us..."

"It was within my expectation; no one would just leave a growing guild in peace" Answers Eliana and she continues "I will notify them too"

"You shouldn't"

"Huh? Why?" asks Eliana concerned about the matter, after all, he just contradicted her

"They must be at their best; this will just put them on alert and make them unable to focus.

"...As you say, but will you be able to manage when they ask you as to why you didn't tell them of the upcoming war?" Eliana questions, her gaze taking note of Kagito's expression.

It seems to be one of seriousness and yet at the same time radiates an aura of calmness.

"I will" He answers with a solemn look.

Kagito had a plan in mind.

Annihilation was not the answer. If he plays his cards right, he can gain more power for the Guild, and Eliana is beside him too, and with her to keep him in check and steer him in the right direction, there is absolutely no chance of failure, he thinks to himself.

"When shall we begin preparations?" Asks Eliana

"Tomorrow"

Kagito walks off out of the room.

It's fun, and with a smile on his face he just thought

'Bring it on'

I woke up and start my mourning routine, but I was anxious throughout.

I had died.

Thus, I have to wait a few more hours to enter Parallel.
