The End & Apex

Somewhere inside the unknown

Seth who is still trapped inside the creature's domain. Knowing that he's talking to a creature he became cautious of what he says, in fear of upsetting it.

"What!?, what does that suppose to mean"

Seth contemplating what the creature claiming to be him says. Knowing that he died he assumed this to be the afterlife

"You know I can hear you right?, it doesn't matter if you've a monologue or speak out loud. You're nothing but a fragment of mine"

He figured there's nothing he can do and came to realisation that if the creature wanted to kill him it would've done that early with ease - he accepted fate and dropped his guard.

"What do you want from me?".

He asks as he waits patiently for the creature's reply. The creature getting pissed outta of nowhere stares on a blank space and runts

" Can you stop calling me a creature!!, I've a name dammit!".

Seth confused on what is he talking to.

"I'm Seht, you damn terrible!!"

Uhm... anyway the creature's name introduce itself as Seht. The name is quiet common to the Seth of this novel - it's a given they have similar name, as Seht stated before he is Seth or Rather Seth is his fragment of this Dimension. But his appearance to this universe is yet to be revealed.

"You've died Seth, your journey ends here - I've come to reclaim you and make you part of me again. I shall venture this new world in your stead".

Seth looks down as Seht approaches him and lays his right hand on his head.

"Any wish you want fulfilled?, I should do this much for being my fragment".

"I know it's too much to ask but please take care of my family, please help dad on the farm, please make my siblings happy (sobs) please buy sweet for Salina, plea-".

Tears falls in a thought of his family, even though he will never gets to see them again, but he felt relieved that at least his self(Seht) will continue to fulfill his dreams. He started to slowly vaporise as he's being absorbed slowly by Seth. The Absorption process became concluded - now Seth has become one with Seht.

"I was planning on doing that, it's time for The Unwritten to Emerge Once more".

In the Sapien Empire, Eastern Temporary Base

Gin and Rez arrives on a horseback at the Base. They gets off the horse and walks towards the Villagers temporary shelters. It is around 8 AM, they went inside the tent - The Kids seeing their father rushes and hugs both of them for returning safe. But they noticed that their mode is down, in that moment Gin kneels on both knees and his hands on the ground. Rez who was standing next to him is seen Sobbing.

"I'm sor... sorry, for being a worse father for Seth...(Groans)...I apologize for my inability to protect your eldest brother...".

These words were cemented on their brains as they realised that their Oldest Brother is no longer with them. Tears fell as they reminiscences about precious moments they had with Seth. This Day Left a Mark on their heart for the very first time in their lives and for the 2nd time for Gin. People who were present in tent Gaze on them - the kids hugged Gin as they Cries, Mourning Seth.

Sapien Empire, Eastern region

Sapien imperial Army clashs with the Ergaster Military. The Unorthodox Nzawu has entered the battlefield, his men are holding off the Ergasters for some time - Commander Kang is no where to be seen, this is a good opportunity for Nzawu to secure all the victory to himself. Chaos spread throughout the battlefield, screams of Anger, Fear, Hope & Madness harbours the Soldiers heart. The Warlord of the Ergasters is not present in the battlefield and his 2nd deciple is leading the assault. On the Sapien side Commander Nzawu is accompanied by his two Vice - Commanders, The one leading the Army is the Prodigy of the Empire who mastered the arts of swordsmanship at the age of 10 and became the vice commander at the age of 15 she's known as the Crimson Flower, Swordmaster Regina Hawkins. The arts of swordsmanship is not the only thing she is famous for, she's known for her strategic tactics that rivals even that of a full fledged Commander with years of experience in the arts of Battlefield. From afar above the hill, Commander Nzawu oversees the battle and on his right side Vice - Commander Bruno Valencia an archer who dominated many battles with his skills of archery alone. He's known to fire energy based arrow with an insane precision and accuracy that few Ranks up to him. He pledge his loyalty to Nzawu and vow to protect him from incoming threats while Miss Crimson leads an Assault against the Adversaries. The battle between talents commerce - as we wait to see who comes victorious.

Crimson Flower Regina Hawkins stationed on a rear end oversees and commands the army for strategic movements.

"My Lady, the Guards seems to be holding off the enemy forces well, indeed your tactics are divine".

The Crimson Flower pouts, she was if she's being bored - she was constantly looking at the battlefield as if she's locating her prey.

"I have not smell a spark yet, these enemies don't peak my interest. I waiting for their Leader (pouts)".

She puts down her katana and lays down, facing the sky - she became too relaxed for the person who is in the midst of war. The Ergasters forces were slightly being pushed back and that made the Sapien Guards motivated - the enemies were slowly being annihilated. However that didn't last long as the 1st Deciple of the Ergaster's Warlord swiftly appears on the battlefield and starts to carve every Sapien with his Blade. This phenomenon strikes fear into the Sapien' souls, they watch as one man turns tides of the battlefield with a single Blade. The Massacre continues for awhile - the first Deciple Truedren Arrives.

"Tsk, is this what they all got - this won't count as my morning training, let me install Chaos upon these filthy Sapiens".

The 2nd deciple appears

"Do you really have to showoff this much brother?, give us a spotlight too dammit".

Truedren turns and faces his martial brother Yusher. Tension is seen between the two brothers, their relationship seems to be that of two rivals than family.

Seeing the changes in battlefield, the Crimson Flower's interest was piqued she finally smelt the spark she's been looking for, she grabbed her two katanas and haste towards the spark's main source. Like lightning she covers large distance in an instant and came face to face with the two deciples

"There you are!!!,The Smelly Rat!!"

She quick unsheath her katanas and swings her right hand katana towards Truedren, performing a forward stab - with his higher reflexes Truedren faintly dodge the attempt assault by simply enhancing his footwork with Chaos magic and Leans to the left, it was not an easy dodge though - Regina was able to leave a cut on his right cheek. He quickly responded by doing a vertical upward slash that was invaded by Regina's left hand katana, he manage to push her off to some distance. Yusher as a notorious Mage he tries to use a fire based chaos magic skill but was stopped by Truedren

"Don't meddle in my battles, this one came looking for me - stay out of this you might lose your limbs if not careful".

Yusher frustrated by Truedren's action Replies

"I'm not going to be defeated by that Puny filth".

"I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about me".

Thrills were felt on Yusher's spine as he never seen his brother this malicious before. He senses danger and decided to retreats

"Tsk, I'm retreating just because you're my Master's favourite".

Regina seeing this unfolding, she's pissed

"Oi~ you two meatheads, what do you take me for - to show your trash backs against me, am I a joke to you".

Truedren turns and gave her the death stare

"Shut up and get ready to die"

She grins as she takes her battle stance

"Right back at you Cockroach Face".

The battle between the Sapien Empire's Sword and the Ergaster Empire's Blade Commerce.

Sapien Empire, the Royal Capital, Imperial Palace

In The midst of the battle the Army messenger is sent to gather information about the war and keep the Emperor informed. Inside the imperial palace the messenger brings news about the ongoing battle. The Emperor then permit the messenger to speak

"Commander Nzawu and his forces have made clash with the enemy forces and the Vice Commander, Miss Regina Hawkins the Crimson Flower is leading the Army".

The Emperor's advisor Come forward and asks the messenger

"What about Commander Kang activities?".

"Commander Kang has not make any moves and is still stationed on the Temporary Base on the south east side of the Empire". The Messenger Replies

"You may Go" the Advisor says

It was given that Commander Kang has not move his forces, he is someone who moves when his victory is guaranteed. Both Commanders had no record of losing battlefield and are promising talents to be the Empire's Scourge. The imperial palace waits and hopes they bring positive results.

Eastern Region, Sapien Army Temporary Base

The Imperial Messenger arrives to bring updates about battlefield. Commander Kang who has not made his move is informed. This caused him to send a command to the Imperial guards to prepare for their advancement to the battlefield. The time for the Mad Man Kang to make his movements begins.

The villagers were informed to prepare to move out to the Royal Capital for shelter. The Guards assists on moving the villagers out as they were informed to board Carriages. The grieving Wiesenthal Family prepares to move - Gin tells the kids that they'll have a proper funeral when they arrive at the capital were they'll grieve Seth. The children were able to compose themselves and accepted that their brother is dead, although some of them were down. Gin pays the Mercenary and joins the line of villagers to Board the Carriage - this time he didn't want to be separated from his kids due to the trauma caused by Seth's incident. The imperial guards were swarming the base and trying to keep order to successfully board everyone. In the Midst of this process - Charlie a Charismatic kid who became down due to his brother's passing, sees the imperial guards that initiated his brother's death. Fury rushes throughout his body, Jacob who noticed Charlie's behaviour changing he tries to secretly stops him from doing something stupid as their father instructed. Seeing his brother secretly chatting Ace noticed that Charlie as spotted the culprits he also became enraged - he slowly takes off a knife he was hiding, Jacob alert Rez to try and stop Ace but was dumbfounded to see his reaction, Rez and Gin were spacing out - it was if they've been to countless Wars. Gin who was carrying sleeping Salina was lost on his thoughts, reminiscing about his lost Son. Ace dropped the backpack down and rushes towards the culprits who were conversing with eachother not paying attention to the surroundings.

"Hahaha, you could not get your hands on one woman and you think you'll stack victories in this battlefield, hahaha".

"Eyy!, I would've totally gets her if it wasn't for that geezer from bef - arrghs"

Aces who climbed the Guard and Stabs it on neck and instantly kills it. He tries to takes it off but was quicky kicked off by one of the guards.

"Wtf, this kid is insane or something".

The guard approaches Ace who's on his one knee with blood all over his face - his eyes were deep it was if a hunter with years of experience is staring upon them.

"Tsk, this kid (unsheaths)"

One of the guards stops the other from using his sword due to many people watching. The guards sheaths back his sword and grabs Ace by his Collar. As they were focusing on Ace Charlie broke free from Stuned Jacob and haste towards the Soldiers and grabs a knife from the dead Guard and Stabs on the three remaining guards on his guts. Seeing what just happened the guard quickly unsheaths his sword

"Fucking Village Scums (groans), Die you piece of Shit"

He swings her sword vertically downwards and amputates Charlie's left hand.

"AAARRRGGGHHHH!!"

Charlie responding to pain inflicted on him, the screams made all nearby people turn and were horrified by the scene. Gin who was spacing out heard Charlie's screaming voice and quickly turns only to be greeted by Charlie laying down struggling with the pain as the guard slowing approaches him with a sword tainted with his blood. Gin quickly gave Jacob the youngest and rushes to stop the guard

"NOOOOOOO!!!"

He screamed as he fears to lose yet another son on a same day he lose Seth. He grabbed a stone and throws it at the guards direction hitting it on the head making it to collapse quickly. Ace bites the Guard that is grabbing him by collar and breaks free to move Charlie away from the Guards. The remaining two guard rushes and clash with Gin as they push him down. The nearby imperial guards separates them and quickly attends the bleeding Charlie. They moved Charlie to the infirmary and Ace followed them. Gin stands up as he's surrounded by guards, the remaining two culprits who had already unsheathed their swords were suppressed to minimise further chaos. The villagers stares and talks about the cruelty of the guards who amputated a kid. The Vice Commander arrives and asks the guards about details of this incident. The Vice Commander who sees the Royal Guard as the God's vassals was enraged but what he is being told, he tries to keep composure because too many eyes were watching. Jacob approaches with Rez

"Dad, are you okay? Where do they take Ace & Charlie?" Jacob asks

"Jake, don't worry about me and go to the infirmary - take Rez and Salina with you"

Jacob who senses that sometimes bad might happen to his father he tries to convince him so he can stay

"Father, I can't live you here ple-".

Gin quickly hugs them

"Please, listen to your father's wishes just this once - Aires take care of your brother's while I'm gone"

Rez's stares and grabbed his father's shirt and holds on tight

"Nooo...I can't bear this (sobs)..I'm not prepared. .. please don't go (sobs)".

The imperial guards forcefully separates them

"Lovey dovey time is over". The Commander says

He then instruct the guards to send Gin to be jailed, he then instructed the other guards to retire their sword and be jailed too for humiliating the imperial army dignity. Gin and the Culprit were moved to the Chambers - the Commander turns and faces the three kids and gave them a death stare. This made Jacob and Rez fear that this might not end with their father being locked but their safety is at stake too. The Vice commander left the scene and Rez, Jacob and Salina who's asleep hasten towards the infirmary to see their siblings Ace and Charlie.

Inside the Military Base infirmary

Charlie who is known sedated and patched on his left arm, near him is Ace who's sitting waiting for him to wake up the Nurses gave them blanket and new clothes since theirs were covered in blood. Rez and Jacob enters, they quickly check on them.

"Ace!!, are you okay?, are you hurt anywhere?". Jacob asks

"Yes I'm fine, Charlie is the one who was hurt by those bastards".

Seeing Ace who was once hyperactive completely changed, Jacob feared that he will his brothers he once knew and they'll reborn to be something fearsome. He even feared that for himself too - the fury he's been bottling for quiet some time is slowly trying to break lose.

"I can't believe they've destroyed our family to this point, Rez let's prepare food for Charl-".

As soon as he turns to face Rez, he sees the face of someone who's traumatized and been living in constant fear, he passes Salina to Ace then proceeds to hugs Rez, as soon as he was hugged tears fell down and was ventilating, panting as he grasp for air. It seems seeing Charlie affected Rez mental State more. The nurses quicky assist him and organise a bed for him and sedated him to keep him calm. Jacob takes out food from the backpack and gives some to Ace to eat.

"I'm fine, I don't feel hungry right now".

Ace who's staring at Charlie and Salina on his shoulders sleeping. Jacobs understands.

"I'm going to visit father, I'm going to tell him we're safe he shouldn't worry".

"..."

Jacobs exits the infirmary and goes to find his Locked up father. He runs towards the direction they took his father to. He asks nearby guards for detections but they weren't very helpful. He looks around each tent but was chased out every time he tries to approach and asks about the Chambers whereabouts. He shifted from asking the guards and asks any Villagers he sees

"Excuse me Sir, can you direct me where they keep villagers locked up". He asks to a random villager.

"It's about 100 meters from here and a tent with black flags surrounding it, will be the place you're looking for young one".

The villager seems to sympathise with the kid and directed him to the Chambers. Jacob thanks him then proceeds his journey - he ran as fast as he could and at last he made it to the Chambers.

"Phew, (deep sighs) at last I have made it".

As tired as he is, Jacob enters the premises and passes the Security Guards - he went inside then ask the guards about his father

"Excuse Me Dear Sir, I'm here looking for my Father Gin Wiesenthal".

The Guards turns and looks at the boy

"Wait here, I will check if he is still detained here"

The guard then went on a nearby tent where villagers who causes trouble are locked, he shouts out Gin's name so he can come forward and escort him to the visitor. However no one came forth, the guards tries again but Gin did not appear. The guard came back and tells Jacob

"There is no someone Named Gin Wiesenthal in there".

Jacob hearing that becomes anxious

"Impossible, he was detained about a hour ago - he should be in there".

The guard irritated about the kid's stubborn behaviour takes him with him to the Chambers, Jacob shouts out his Dad's name but it was all futile - Gin did not come through. Jacob leaves the Chambers and was confused while curious about his father's whereabouts. He thought maybe his father was released and is with the Family in the infirmary. He quickly runs back to the infirmary meet his Dad, he was slightly at ease that they released his father. He enters the infirmary and looks around, he sees Charlie who is now awake being fed by Ace while Salina is laying next to him(Charlie). Rez was still asleep. He approaches and asks his siblings

"Where's Dad, did he went out or something?".

He asks as he sits down on a chair next to Ace.

"Father hasn't come back".

Ace replies

Has soon as he heard that he remembers the gaze that the vice commander gave them. To not worry his siblings any further he plays it cool

"I'm going to pee".

"Ehh? Why didn't you pee before entering here". Charlie Asks

"Just because this occured now not before dum dum". He flicked Charlie's head playfully

"Hey! Be careful with him". Salina shouts

"Sorry princess, my bad".

He smiles as he runs outside and quickly runs around the base looking for his Father. He asks around if they've seen an old man with bruises on his face roaming around. He decided to look for the Mercenary who was in the line where other villagers were at, he looked around for some time and finally was able to find some who used to work at the farm. He told them about what happened to his father and requested his aid. Some became resistant to his request as they feared they might suffer the same fate as his father. Two of the Mercenaries agreed to help him, they spread and look around the base - it was a tiresome thing as they were many people swarming the base.

2 hours passed, they regrouped as one of the Mercenaries has found him.

"I've found your father...I don't think you should meet him...".

"No it's fine, where is he? Lead me to him Sir".

Jacob anxious that his father might have been beaten and laying somewhere helplessly. He Persuade his father's whereabouts, the journey seem long - it was if he's climbing a mountain while pulling a Ton worth of weight. His intuition was telling him to go back but he pushed forward with his stubborn behaviour. They arrived at the destination, the outskirts of the base - his feets were heavy as he turns right and was greeted by his Father and the Culprits next to him Crucified. This was all it was needed for Jacob's Fury and mental state to Collapse. He kneels as he cries Infront of his now dead father. The day marked the End of once happy family and shows the cruelty of the world toward those powerless.

Inside the unknown, Seth felt an unpleasant sensation he despise the most. Jacob went back to the infirmary, the they were boarded to the carriage and sent to the Royal Capital. The Battle of the Ergaster and Sapien ends with victory of the Sapien as Commander Kang made suprise attack on a rear of the enemy lines, Truedren, Yusher and Hemis were able to escape with a cost of their Master Being impaled by the Commanders
