Thousands of Cherry Blossom ( Rise of a King )

Chapter I : Foresight

15 leaders Conference Call

as the call was answered Ruler of Destuction started speaking.

"What's the news over there? Are you able to subdue the Rebels?"

The rank 1 leader started answering in a respectful manner

"Yes sir"

"Have you found the head of the one who wants to defy the Rulers?"
The Ruler of Destruction ask in a calm manner

The Rank 1 answered
"Not yet sir, even if we subdue and threaten to kill them, they're not saying anything"

The Ruler answered while scratching his chin
"Hmm... that's fine just kill them all. Submit the reports to me now"

As the conversation progresses the ranked 8 leader started to interrupt

One of the soldiers of Ruler of the dragon 🐉 started speaking

"You know, we can just sunk this place to the ground"
He formed a small grin while saying it confidently

He disrespected the Ruler of the Destruction.
The Ruler responded with killing intent, making the soldier sunk to the ground. Making him bow down without even uttering a single word.

The Rank 1 said something
" Forgive me for my colleagues incompetence my liege "

The Ruler responded
"Know your place"

The Rank 8 responded
"I'm sorry"

The Rank 1 added
" I shall send the reports to you now sir"

The Ruler responded
"Don't bother, read the report to me right now, if I even deemed your teams progress as incompetent. I'll kill you all myself"

The Rank 1 shakes out of fear but ultimately had the courage to respond.

The Rank 1 Responded
"In the past 3 months we subdued over 568 groups of resistance in this country, killing over 10 million of it's population. "

"Some of the people started to obey and submit sir."

The Ruler answered
"Good, but not your best work, either way it still works to inflict fear in their eyes."

The Rank 1 answered
" I'm sorry sir, this team you've built will deliver you the head of the snake"

The Ruler answered
"Well I'll be expecting that, You are dismissed"

The Rank 1 bowed his head before leaving

Conversation started when Rank 1 and 8 got out of the conference room

The Rank 1
"You know you almost have gotten us killed right?"

The Rank 8 responded
"That overwhelming presence is disgusting, it's as if he's here with us. I can't believe that other than the Ruler of Dragons there's 5 of those who wield that kind of strength. It's terrifying."

The Rank 1
"Some people considered us as monsters, but those 5 Ruler are even beyond that statement"

The Rank 8
"Sorry for my incompetence"

The Rank 1 responded
"It's fine, we need to find that head, notify the other members, it's time to take this seriously"

The Rank 1 is filled with killing intent.

The Rank 8 responded

'This is the strength of our Rank 1. Even I can't think I can win against him. This guy is also a monster. Well I guess everyone in our generation is a monster'
The Rank 8 thoughts had became clear

"I'll call them"

The Rank 1 responded
"Good"

Meanwhile
The coffee shop in the main city

The Manager started speaking kindly
" Wayne you'll be the one cleaning the store today right ?"

Wayne responded kindly
"Yes ma'am"

The manager added
" The keys are in the backroom don't forget to lock the store okay ?"

Wayne nodded

'Curfew is about 2 hours away, hmmmm .... I'm pretty tired, time to go home I guess'

While Wayne was about to close the store a Strange hooded person came in

Wayne said something nicely
"Uhm excuse me sir, we're currently closed"

The stranger said something in return
"I'm pretty tired will you spare some food and coffee"

Wayne's thought
'That person is a girl, I thought it was a guy. Well she doesn't seem dangerous, might as well provide her food while I clean the back room'

Wayne said something
"Go take your seat ma'am, I'll provide you with something"

The girl added
" I don't have money to pay for the food"

Wayne responded while smiling
" It's okay ma'am, you can pay me back when you're rich" he laughs jokingly

The girl sits while waiting for the food and coffee.
As Wayne started walking towards her she said something.

"Can you accompany me while I eat?"

Wayne answered kindly
"Ofcourse ma'am, I'm done cleaning anyway"

As the conversation lengthen she stared into the eyes of Wayne and started asking some dangerous questions.

She asked him
"What do you think about this country's situation?"

Wayne was shocked because of the deep question that came out of the mouth of a girl.

Wayne's thoughts
'Woah... that's one dangerous question, if a leader manages to hear that we'll be killed on the spot'

The hooded girl noticed that Wayne was hesitating to answer

She added
"Don't worry no one can hear us"

Wayne's thoughts
'Okay this is getting creepy. Did she just read my mind?'

She added
"Don't you trust me ?"

Wayne finally answered
"Okay I'll trust you. You asked me what do I think right?"
"Ever since the war happened, everything seems dangerous. People are getting killed on a daily basis"
"That's not the only thing though, I heard that the rulers are absolute"

She laughed
"You put your thoughts in the question to much"
"But you're not wrong"
"The rulers are beyond the name of monsters"

Wayne asked
"Why did you asked me that?"

She responded
"Cause I can see what your future holds Wayne"
"The path you're going to take"
"And the consequences you're going to suffer"

Wayne's thoughts
'Waaaah... is this girl crazy or something?! But given the situation of power being acquired These days, seeing the future is kinda not that hard to believe'

'How the fvck does she knows my name!!'

Wayne Responded
"What are you saying?"

She said confidently
"You'll feel it soon, the change you're going to undergo"

She started walking out of the store after saying thank you to the one who served her food.

Wayne chased her and screamed a question
"What's your name ? you haven't told me your name yet?!"

She looked back after removing her hood and smile and then responded

"I'm Joy"
