Kingdom of Marinda

Dawn timidly reflected against the tranquil lake. Igna and Yui's night is lost in the latter's retelling of her harsh survival on the enigmatic Marinda. No words need be exchanged, Igna rose from the lonesome study, moved to the grown floor, and got ready for another day of work. Yui followed his step, copied the motions, and was soon helping in the Jelly shop. Deep down, the life he'd come to know and the relations would come to an end. 

  "Master," glanced Yui, "-about the return to Hidros?"

Head solemn at the stove, he breathed in a way to gather the passing thoughts. He rose a warm smile at the assistant,"-guess enough time's passed. Returning now will either make or break the political status of Hidros."

  "Are you afraid?" 

  "Yeah," he said, "-everyone's afraid. The world stage is the end game, screw there and there wouldn't be anything left – no one alive to pick up the shattered fragments of a fallen nation."
