⚔ CHAINS OF WATER: RISE OF A KINGDOM ⚔
S01E06 – Battle of Friends! On the Way to Yellow Castle
---
[Beginning: The Weight of a Warrior's Journey]
Zedo clenched his fists, looking down at the ground. His recent defeat still echoed in his mind, but instead of breaking him, it fueled his determination. He realized that his journey had only begun. He needed to become stronger. Not just for himself, but for his friends and for the challenges that lay ahead.
However, he wasn't the only one who had something to prove.
His comrades—Mido, Karota, and Hekagu—stood beside him, each filled with their own determination. Today was their first real test. If they passed, they would be granted the opportunity to enter Yellow Castle, where the real training of the Yellow Knights would begin.
🏰 The Yellow Castle was known throughout the land as a place where warriors were forged, not just in strength but in wisdom, discipline, and unbreakable willpower. But only the best students could enter. The test they faced today would determine their worth.
A cold wind blew across the training grounds, carrying with it an air of tension. Would they succeed, or would they be forced to return home in shame?

[Scene 1: The Test Rules Are Set]
The warriors gathered in a massive stone arena, the very heart of the Yellow Knights Academy. Hundreds of students stood ready, their eyes filled with excitement and nervousness.
At the center of the arena stood Master Raiga, a towering figure with sharp golden eyes that seemed to pierce through the souls of every fighter. His presence alone demanded respect.
⚡ Master Raiga: "Today's test is not about who is the strongest. It is about who is the most worthy. Each of you will face an opponent in combat. Only those who prove their worth will advance to the next stage."
The massive stone doors of the Training Arena groaned as they opened, revealing the battleground where the matches would take place.
The names of the challengers were announced:
🔥 Mido vs. Kenji – A battle of swordsmen!
⚡ Karota vs. Goru – Speed versus strategy!
🌀 Hekagu vs. Leona – A clash of magic!
The battles were about to begin.

[Scene 2: Mido's Fight – The Will to Win]
Mido stepped forward, gripping the hilt of his sword tightly. His opponent, Kenji, smirked with confidence.
⚔ Kenji: "You're not ready for this, Mido. Fighting is about skill, not dreams."
🔥 Mido: "I know… But my dream makes me strong!"
Kenji wasted no time, dashing forward with a Flame Blade Strike. His sword ignited in fire, slashing toward Mido with incredible speed!
⚡ CLANG! Mido barely blocked the attack, his arms shaking from the impact. Kenji's strength was overwhelming.
Kenji suddenly spun, slamming his knee into Mido's stomach!
💥 Mido was sent flying backward, crashing into the ground!
He gasped for breath, his vision blurring for a moment. Was this all he had?
His mind flashed back to Zedo's determination… to their promise to grow stronger together.
🔥 Mido (gritting his teeth): "No! I won't lose!"
Gathering his remaining strength, he activated Yellow Flash Strike! In an instant, he became a blur of golden light!
Kenji's eyes widened. "What?!"
⚡ SLASH! Mido appeared behind Kenji, his sword cutting through the air. Kenji staggered forward, his blade slipping from his grip.
💥 Kenji fell to his knees.
⚡ Master Raiga: "Mido wins!"
Mido stood tall, his chest rising and falling heavily. He did it. But the real challenge had only begun.

[Scene 3: Karota's Fight – The Unstoppable Speed Duel]
Karota rolled his shoulders, grinning at his opponent, Goru.
⚡ Goru: "You think you can keep up with me?"
🤣 Karota: "Nah, I just hope I don't blink and miss your attacks."
Goru disappeared in an instant! WHOOSH! He reappeared behind Karota and delivered a powerful strike to his back!
⚡ BOOM! Karota stumbled forward, nearly falling to his knees.
Goru appeared in front of him next, punching him straight in the chest!
💥 CRASH! Karota slammed into the stone wall of the arena!
Blood dripped from Karota's lips. The speed gap between them was terrifying!
🔥 Karota (smirking weakly): "That all you got?"
Goru scowled. "You're not taking this seriously? Fine!"
He dashed forward at lightning speed for a final blow.
But Karota suddenly spun in place, creating a flaming vortex around him!
🔥 Fire Burst Spin!
The moment Goru entered the flames, his body was burned slightly, and his speed was slowed!
💥 Karota took advantage of the opening—
⚡ "FLAME STRIKE!" He punched Goru in the gut, sending him flying!
🔥 Master Raiga: "Karota wins!"
🤣 Karota: "Told you you'd lose!"

[Scene 4: Hekagu's Fight – The Silent Shadow]
Unlike the others, Hekagu showed no emotion. His opponent, Leona, smirked.
🔮 Leona: "You're too quiet. Weaklings are always quiet."
🖤 Hekagu: "Weaklings talk too much."
Leona immediately fired a Light Beam!
💥 BOOM! The arena floor cracked from the attack! But Hekagu was already gone!
She spun around—but he wasn't there!
🖤 Hekagu's voice whispered: "What you see is not always true."
Suddenly, a blade slashed from the darkness!
⚔ SLASH! Blood dripped from Leona's arm!
She gasped. "W-What?!"
Before she could react, Hekagu appeared behind her and delivered the finishing blow—Dark Blade Slash!
💥 Leona collapsed.
⚡ Master Raiga: "Hekagu wins!"
Without saying a word, Hekagu turned and walked away.

[End Scene: The Journey to Yellow Castle Begins]
As the last battle ended, Master Raiga stepped forward.
🏰 Raiga: "You have proven your strength. But this was only the first step. Now… your true training begins at Yellow Castle."
The doors to the next stage of their journey opened before them.
🔥 Zedo, Mido, Karota, and Hekagu had passed!
But little did they know… a far greater challenge was waiting for them.
