Phase 2

If there was an Richter scale then the most recent quake was around 5.1 Richter. That is enough for houses to fall.

But this process was slow as hellnso much that the people were starting to get used to the daily quakes.

Even if the increased in size.

Something is going wrong. I thought we could just end it at phase one

Jay :

What is happening. The gold skinned have no reaction at all. And the mercenaries are pretending nothing is happening at all.

McElroy :

They have tightened security and are even barging inside houses. If we are found out. Then it would lead to more casualties than anticipated.

Era :

Why are you worried about people that aren't related to you any way.

Jay :

I don't intend to follow that Xs orders. So I will revolt in my way.

Era :

But he never stated to kill anyone. Then why.

Jay :

It's good to keep your blades clean for once.

McElroy :

We must prepare phase 2 or this isn't going to go anywhere.

Meanwhile Delcado

Delcado was having a meeting with his captains. After the humiliation he received from the intruder he wasn't going to. Let them go.

Delcado :

Captains, today we are hunting for a rat.

Hiding in our hideout. They are humans but they are strong.

We need to smoke them out.

Captains :

Do you knoe how do they look like.

Delcado :

I don't know much. There was something I managed to see.

One of them had a red crystal embedded on their left hand.

And they are extremely skilled in combat.

Captain :

What are we after these men.

Delcado :

Their objectives are still unknown. But they are very dangerous individuals. Who can cause immense damage.

And the mercenary hunt stated. Every human who lived or visited the kingdom. Had their wrists checked.

For that gem.

And at the inn where McElroy and group was staying also had mercenaries visit. They opened the door by picklocking it. And entered inside. And there were Jay and McElroy discussing their plans and their inventory was fully laid out in the open.

All weapons were laid out. From the spear of the successor to the Two weapons of Chroma. And they were checking their durability.

And seeing all this the mercenaries who came in suddenly were startled.

Jay :

Do you need something.

Mercenaries :

We are here for the check. Show me your wrist.

Jay :

Seems awfully random.

Jay showed his wrist with the stone of the crimson dawn shining as light. This made the mercenary much more vary.

Mercenary who were patrolling in the groups of three. Two of them stood back while one of them fled. What a textbook strategy. The one who fled called back others.

Mercenary :

So you're the one who has upset our boss. Once I take you to him I will be awarded.

Now kneel and put your hands behind your back.

Jay :

One second.

Jay took the opportunity to put everything back into his inventory. And once again pretended to be a hostage.

And McElroy jumped out of the window. While Era who knew everything just left the room before the mercenaries arrived.

Jay : (Faking it)

No I am a weak defenseless person don't take me.

I have a family and three kids to take care of

That acting was so bad that when Jay would be given the strawberry awards for worst acting. He won't be handed the award. The award will be given to him by the announcer aiming for his head. After witnessing his acting.

Mercenary :

Even a kid can tell you're faking it.

Jay :

You don't want to take me hostage do you.

And even though Jay was taken hostage. The mercenary who took him felt very disgusted.

Jay :

Let me go, let me go I'm innocent.

Mercenary :

Would you just shut up. I'm tired of your faking.

The mercenary dragged him to The Black whistle headquarters and showed him before his boss.

Delcado :

The moment you entered the room. I knew that you were the one who broke my bones yesterday night.

And to add insult to Injury you pitied me and left me a potion.

Jay :

I'm sorry that I broke your leg by mistake I didn't intend to do it.

Delcado :

Leave all matters aside. I want to know just one thing.

What are you planning here. At night you've been digging something what?

Jay :

I'm helping the Kingdom. There's a curse that has taken ahold of the Kingdom and I am just trying to do my best to get rid of it.

You've must have felt it. The tremors which increase in their intensity. If I don't make it in time. The whole kingdom will be destroyed.

Mercenary : (Punching Jay's head hardly)

Don't talk to boss like you know him.

Jay still tried to maintain his persona decided to forgive him.

Delcado :

So why do I believe what you're spewing is true.

Jay :

Then hear my predictions.

The waters nourishing the land will stop

the earth's blood is boil.

It will unleash it's anger in the form of fire.

And the fire will be spewed onto the earth.

That's when the stars will unleash their anger on the very earth that has been marked.

Mark my words.

Even if we're not here the end was always near.

A mercenary ran into the room.

Mercenary :

The water supply of the Kingdom has stopped.

The drainage systems are failing one by one.

Delcado :

Use the reserve water.

Mercenary :

Yes boss.

Delcado :

You were really talking the truth. Then tell me how will this calamity be stopped.

Jay :

Now there is no stopping the calamity.

Once it has begun it cannot be overcome.

From behind there was a blast. From the windows a blast could be witnessed.

Jay : (Maniacally)

Your only hope is to take everyone and forsake this land.

Delcado :

I can't leave this place. Once I leave I will be killed.

Jay :

What will you do save everyone by leaving this kingdom or take everyone with you.

Jay stood up and broke the chains of iron binding him.

Jay :

I will give you time till sunrise. Once the sun is risen. You will make your decision.

You can find me at the fountain. At sunrise And only you will come.

Giving that warning Jay walked out of that room.

Mercenary :

Should we apprehend him.

Delcado :

Can't you realize. There is no curse, on this kingdom.

I can see the end in him. There is now noway of stopping him.

Tell everyone to pack their bags. We're leaving.

Jay was unstoppable as he trance out of the black whistle headquarters. He pounced with joy.

Jay :

What an easy target. Who knew acting could be this simple.

Jay joined with Mcelroy.

Mcelroy :

I've frozen the river up north there shouldn't be any water for atleast 2 days.

Jay :

Good job man. Now all we have to do is to keep up the pressure.

Hows our casualty rate.

Mcelroy :

A perfect Zero.

Jay :

Nicely done.
