CHAPTER 67- RISING SUN

A L E X

I woke up on the voices of the soldiers outside the tent, marching preparing themselves to war. The General started to assemble his men, sparring and lastly speech like it'll be the last day. An honor and also a farewell. I never been so nervous and sad at the same time like this, because I didn't wrote this part of the story because it still updated and I don't know what to do to end this part of being alive. I don't know how to save this people from that witch. I don't know what's her plan, tactics of leading the coup. It's just my first time and my soldiers always reminding themselves that it is for the kingdom, they will fight, dying in glory.

I rub my arms because of the goosebumps and crazy scenarios that is boggling my brain about being stab of slash or maybe be strike with those spears and fell down and die. Mas Lalo ko lang ata pinaworst pero no choice siguro naka destined sakin mamatay. One of General Zhyperbliss closest friend, was holding his full plate armor and waited to help him done it. Next was his weapon, a two-handed great sword with he sheathed safely into its scabbards strapped into his back.

I shouldn't be worried!! Ahhhhh!!

"Your highness are you alright?"

"Oh, yeah..." I sighed and tap my legs and puff he air out of my mouth. "I need a moment" I said and my ladies-in-waiting watch me stepping away from the camp site finding a peaceful spot to rest my mind out of this mess. A princess are stepping closer to a perilous path. Breath caught in my throat, fear coursing through my body, froze. It was dark and cold the sun seems to be late to rise and my foot lead me to a cliff. Watching the beautiful horizon, fog were walking on the trees like a holly ghost. My lips wrinkled as I watch my kingdom sitting alone, it maybe beautiful but the castle looked like a woman who was left alone and weeping until she died on the very spot. That's how I describe my kingdom. Why am I so sad?

It's so heavy. I don't know why I'm feeling this burden. Is this a sign that I will be lying defeat when that day come?

I'm gonna die single. My head just camrack a joke and that made me laugh at myself.

I sighed and sat on a patch of grass waiting for the light. Until bit by bit. My eyes witnessed her beauty, arising like a goddess visited the land, with her golden sword marching alone and spread the light, chasing away the darkness back to once it came.

A beam of sunlight peeked through the mountains, casting a golden path on the forest floor. The sun rays filtered through the leaves, creating a shadow on the ground. It's rays stretched across the horizon. And my kingdom is like a sunflower glanced at her grace. Started to play an exquisite song for welcoming her.

I have to deal with this, even the pages are still unwritten. It maybe blank but I will started to put the ink, filling it with words not leaving any blank spaces, on every plain bland white paper I surely make it into an art, a piece of my imagination, creating a story is like painting on a canvas, putting colors, making something beautiful, an art that made and put something to life. That is writing is all about for me. It gives me happiness then why should I be worries if I'm gonna make a master piece. Dying in a battle is a very honorable death.

Shess what am I saying. I should have be calm and embraced profailantism. I must not hold back. If in previous life was I'm just sitting creating scenarios on my head now I'm gonna make it reality and I want to see it. Shouting the blaze of glory on the eyes of evilness.

I rose up to my feet, smoothing my clothes and turn back without hesitation and regret. I have my promises to deal with.

I could hear the crunchiness of the dried leaves on my booths and the cute harmonic voices of the birds, mating finding food and making shelter, I saw a squirrel winding it's way up to the tree and rabbits hop out from there hiding. As I finally reach the camp site they faces turns to me with such a beautiful smile, it was very very touching.

As the day came, the galloping of thousand of horses, sounds of the marching booths, clicking armors and voices of chanting the oath. I was standing in front of my armies. And halt the line, heart of mine was panting like I was running on a marathon to win the cup. A Lump on my stuck on throat and sweat drop on my shoulder. I heard the loud drums of war, and the trumpet was like a sudden bomb that would kill my men on an instant. My hands were trembling and I tighten my grip on the rope and pat my horse.

Someone touch my shoulder and I looked back and it's the lunarian. Marching beside me.

"Numbers are not a measurement of the skills and hardwork on the heart of the soldier" said zig with an obvious loosing battle smile

" Were might be few in numbers, but it's okay it's an honor to meet you, we'll fight you even it'll be last"

"Hey don't say that!"

"Kidding, just do careful" The patten me and I inhaled a deep breath before I approached the Queen with her black stallion horse. As we came closer and closer. Her smile widen. Like she was waiting for this moment to end the blood line. I dampened my chest and calm and blow an air.

"It's a beautiful day isn't it?" She said, she was proud and laughed because our numbers are just like five mice with twenty cat in the house. I saw the movement of he lips like she's enchanting some spell and I felt a bit dizzy and the dark started to darkened. There's a pungent smell lingering the air and it had me groan in pain but I  still smile and remained my head high

"Yes it's is, sadly darkness have interrupted the light"

"Aww you should said something like a farewell to your own mother"

"In your face madapaker" I said slowly and we turn our back, going back to our position.

"Esthelian!!!!" I heard their sreeching scream and I felt the arrow hit me and I fell on my horse.

My armies shouted and race to to attacked. A shadow came close to me and I looked back and saw a horse raising, neighing and a glimpse of the light coming from the blade slowly slashing on the wind.

But right before I noticed I was save my Luna Ziegler healing me, while his driving horse. Until the pain slowly disappearing and he jump down, tumbling and rose to his feet, unsheathing his sword and slashing the enemy in a diagonal way.

I stop the horse and unsheathed my sword and attacked while drawing. It was hard but I felt satisfied when I hit one and another.

My eyes darted somewhere and saw one of my men helplessly crawling to gets his sword and someone is about to kill him.  My eyes looked for the spear and saw one and pull it out from the dead body and draw it straight to the air and it hit his neck, merely slicing his head off. I leaned him a hand before I turn back to attack again.

"Shield formation!!!!" Shouted the general and someone jump on me with a shield and it's baroness Amara. I saw the arrow strike to the deadly sand.

The men race again and she grab the spears and she draw it to the approaching men and it strike perfectly. Three in one spear.

"I wanna die today... Haha" she said that with a chuckles and she fight like a crazy woman, she laughing while slashing the blade to the enemies. I heard something coming and i dock and pushed the sword to his abdomen and pulled it out with force.
