45 parts Complete A sword drops to the ground in the middle of the arena... everything is quiet as the crowd stares at the two men in the middle of the ring. One male with strawberry blonde hair stands over a blonde male, a sword pointed to his throat. Both stared at each other expectantly, waiting for the other to make a move.
"I'd like to make a compromise. " The strawberry blonde finally spoke. The blonde eyed him, trying to ignore the blade near his throat.
"What kind of deal?" The blonde tried to move backward, but the strawberry blonde grabbed his arm, and slowly pulled the blonde up, blade still at his throat.
"Let's rule together. With our skills, no one would ever dare to mess with us." The strawberry blonde let go of the blonde, only to hold his hand out. The blonde stared at the hand, his mind racing. Ruling together? Definitely not what he expected to happen when he woke up. Then again, he didn't expect to be the one on the ground either.
The crowd watched, both sides quiet. Some spectators hoped he would say no, in fear that the kingdom would become corrupt and unjust. Others hoped he would say yes, to end this 15 year war.
Then, the silence was broken with one word.
"Deal."
----------------------------------------------------
Months passed as the two males ruled together. The people lived in fear, each day filled with fights and terror. No one was safe and no one could protect themselves.
Until another male rode into the kingdom, an odd blue mask over his face...
