Shu and his family were at the entrance to the kingdom of Elsia
" Remember Shu, don't you go on escalating things, do you understand? Otherwise the dwarf king might just wage war against our kingdom "
Ayami said as she would then grab Shu's face, pulling him close to then press her lips against his, giving him a sweet kiss
" Me and the children will be waiting for you here, alright? "
Ayami added as Shu would then back away from her, smiling a little to then look down at his children, giving them a small wink before looking over at the thousand of civilians that were wondering where their king was going
" Yo Shu! Make sure you come back soon, don't forget about the fact that we have a dojo, our students are desperate to train with you "
Ean yelled whilst walking out of the crowd of people only to receive a thumbs up from Shu, who would then sigh
" Don't worry y'all, I'll be back in a bit "
Shu said before disappearing in a blur of speed, causing the dirt to blast everywhere in the form of a mist, only for him to appear above the kingdom, tensing his muscles to prepare himself for flight.
His body began to flicker, before he suddenly disappeared in a burst of air, leaving behind a trail of energy, which others could use to assume where he had went.
Now in the air, Shu was flying through the skies like one would swim on a pool, flawlessly piercing the clouds, and causing sonic booms the more he increased his speed, then suddenly he stopped, and as he did a giant sonic boom was heard.
The clouds parted, and the sky was clear as if it hadn't just been surrounded by heavy clouds, the sun came in and shined upon the kingdom Shu had arrived to.
Beautifully the rays of light would crash against the buildings which the dwarves lived in, the kingdom was huge, and it's people were prosperous, the merchants in the streets would sell their fruits and the people walking by would buy them, all with a smile and cheerful hearts.
All of a sudden Shu stomach began to growl, of course the reason being the fact that he had just laid eyes upon a splendid dish a dwarf citizen was eating, but he would shake his head, denying his stomach of the food that it craved, reminding himself what he was there for.
With no care in the world he would fly down toward the entrance to the dwarf king's castle, crashing against the ground, creating a crater which he would walk out of seconds later, proceeding to knock on the castle's door.
Seconds later the huge door was opened and Shu was greeted by what seemed to be a servant
" Sir, the king of humans Shu Himura has arrived— "
The Servant said as from behind it, a giant man with a huge beard on his face walked forward
" I know, I sensed his energy "
The giant man said, his voice sounding threatening like that of a monster's.
" Hey, along time no see Bjorn "
Shu said as he looked up, taking a closer look at the dwarf king who's name apparently was Bjorn.
He had a long brown beard, with soft and long brown hair, he was tall and extremely buff, he had no shirt, he only wore pants and boots made of metal.
In his pants he had a hammer shoved in it, a square hammer with very odd designs to them.
On each side of the hammer there were Helm of Awe symbols carved into them, with the Valknut symbol in the middle of the already mentioned symbols.
He was full of veins and his eyes glowed blue; his pupils were the shape of snowflakes, his presence entirely was that of a god
" You're sweating, were you forging something? "
Shu questioned as he bluntly walked into the man's castle, making the dwarf aware of the sweat that was dripping down his head and shoulders
" Im surprised you haven't attacked me yet, after what happened last time "
Shu added as he would then glance over at the Dwarf king's back, seeing a huge scar on it, a scar which by the way he was staring at it was his doing
" Why would I attack you? I know what you're here for "
Bjorn replied as he would then close the huge door, proceeding to walk down the hall toward his smithy, being followed by Shu who seemed kind of surprised
" What do you mean? Have you become aware of the fact that there's a demon in control of the elf and mermaid kingdom? "
Shu questioned, tilting his head a little as the dwarf king would simply sigh, opening the metal door to his smithy whilst taking his hammer out of his pants
" I was aware of the fact that an unknown being had taken over the elf kingdom, because I had a few of my informants in their way there, though they returned as soon as they saw fire overtake the entire kingdom, as for the mermaids I didn't know they were also taken over, nor was I aware of the fact that the being was a demon, so thanks for the new info "
Bjorn replied as he would then begin to hammer against what seemed to be a break of metal that he had pulled out of the fire
" So are you also aware of the fact that I'm here to make an alliance with you? "
" Yes, I am, there is no other reason for you to be here besides that "
" So? Do you want to make an alliance? "
Shu questioned causing the dwarf to stop hammering, looking over at the man with a serious expression
" Yeah, I have no other choice anyway, if this demon was capable of taking over two kingdoms so effortlessly then it means we have no other choice but to make an alliance "
Bjorn replied, but before Shu could answer, the smithy would collapse on itself as from the walls a creature similar to the ones Shu and Ean fought came through, punching the Dwarf king right in his face, sending him flying out of the castle, destroying a lot of the rooms and even killing four of the king's servants.
