Grievous Scars

He gets up, the cube sealed as it goes back to floating around him; he stares at the scar running across the land.

Water Flooding throughout it as the Very land is nothing, the more concerning part being the exact hole throughout the Atmospheres of the earth.

Turning away from it, he walks towards the massive damage afflicted by a full force physical attack. Nothing remaining as the ground is cracked asunder from it.

The incinerated Wastes from his blur of action, nothing short of Godlike, Akiyama just gazes upon it. Kneeling, he presses the desolate Land created from the tier ten,

actions Neil residual glowing in the distance "why did he use the last form of it to try to one shot the Ten odd?" he mumbles, eventually.

Stopping his action, Lythima approaches, landing beside him. She just hugs him as he holds her hand, "how many casualties?"

She was gentle asks, Akiyama responds coldly, "two Neil and Augustine."

She glances ahead in the distance, seeing the massive cylinder. "Was that?" he nods. "That was the Quasar doing the Tier ten is dead."

clear grievance in his eyes, Lythinma remains silent, having heard the bitter tone within his voice, he gets up "We'll need to restore these areas from desolation."

He says, still cold, Lythinma nods. "What will we do, we don't have bodies?" she states, Concerned Akiyama silent "I don't know really Neil disappear into black and Augustine was obliterated by my air cannon."

He says pain within his voice, "that damn Tier ten and her fucked obsession." He squeezes her hand as she flinches. "Aw."

he stops near crushing her Hand, standing tall "maybe planting forest In Augustine name over this desolate Zone would be a send off,"

The voice of Jade entering "Neil would never like to be remembered in mourning or grief." Akiyama looks at her, "No, he'd never want mourning but to be honoured in battle as a war cry for those of Low Morale, a war hero."

She nods, "we will deal with this desolate Land today less it bit us in the back tomorrow." the trio walking towards the Capital from their spot.

Jade rubs her lower stomach, Lythinma being beside her holds her hand whispering something as jade blushes even in sorrow.

They enter as Ignis and Lilliana rush towards their father. "DAD!" Lilliana says Ignis, remaining silent, not publically his son for the marriage with his mate Lilliana."

The effects of the bond occurring at first sight in the background only approaching the age of a teenager does it truly blossom to effect.

Ignis and Lilliana growing but still relatively young. "Hello Dear." she looks "where Uncle Augustine." even Lythinma flinches at the direct responds.

A spotlight put on him as he placed under pressure "he's" tears run down Akiyama's face. "Away Somewheres akin to paradise for a very long time."

Lilliana staring, "Why are you crying though, Dad?" he brushes them away. "It's nothing Darling, something must've gotten in my eye. How about we head to the castle?"

She nods quietly, Letting her down he holds back his tears No King meant to break in grief affront the Public. they Walk Towards it, jade splitting off from them.

Lythinma glances at him, "no we could not save him. Even if we gave him Royal guards as backup, it would just add to the pain afflicted by the zombies created from them."

Lythinma, as if reading his mind breaks down his doubt Akiyama shot up looking at her wide eyes, the Maid smart enough to Take Ignis and Lilliana. Away though, Ignis already figured out the meaning of how he said paradise.

The truth of it being Paradise is that beyond the veil of death, Sonia rushes over "Akiyama!" holding his shoulder as he ponders to throw her away. Another hugs his arm. "Don't burden it alone, honey."

Lythinma says "you predictable when you're upset." She kisses his cheek, "So we won't let you do it." he sighs. Iku remaining on the roof not good with grief at all"

Selene's sigh appears too, "He really does shoulder too much himself, doesn't he?" Iku nods. "Every man does that, it just his may be heavier than the rest."

Selene Smacks her, "It's not a maybe it was a fact." Lythinma Sonia and Akiyama Move into the castle, Selene, and Iku dispersing.

Akiyama is sitting down within a room as food is brought in by Regan, something simple and light to be easy on his system.

He Finally Breaks downs entirely as tears stream down from his eyes. "If only I were faster returning," he whispers,

Laughing through his tears as it converges into a sobbing cry. Regan standing as a bulwark of professionalism, far to use to death already.

Akiyama entire face red from his Sobbing Desperation, Regan closes his eyes. "Please, sir, at-least eat." He glances at the Soup.

Lythinma walking in and wrapping her arms around him, as he sobs she herself also crying but far more silent about it.

"Please leave us Regan." Regan exit Iku And Selene Standing either side of the door. "How is he holding up?" Regan responds, "The master is well… breaking down, if I was to call it anything."

They nod, "Augustine Death will be tough on the whole of the Military." Regan agrees, "it is even tougher on the master he had a deep bond with Augustine."

"So all of his frustration and stress from his position is imploding with this defeat." Iku says defeat all they call it, Losing Two generals.

Selene agreeing as they leave, "how will we secure a Supreme general and two General Positions?" Regan responds, "It would've been Neil, but since he has passed."

He sigh "it would pass to Jade. however she on leave for personal reason so can't be anointed Castillo. Injured, so the only one we can put in place is Umbral."

"Eike and Gojko are more well oriented for advisory positions." Regan himself clearly stressed from this abrupt passing but keeping himself together to manage paperwork with Walter until the lord can return.

"Such I believe the queens will take one of two paths in this scenario." Selene finishing "one allowing him to fall deeper to rebuild normally or using their bodies as a conduit for his frustration."

Regan shakes his head. "as low as Lythinma can fall, she would rather him fall deeper and rebuild well. Supporting him Neither option is good for the kingdom for extended periods of time."
