Chapter 19:Goodbye without saying goodbye!

(We find Anorah who was still travelling for a year had passed since he left the kingdom,during this time he had some run ins with some demons but managed to avoid confrontations.He had crossed valleys,rivers and climed mountains but the emerald forest was still not in sight,but due to his mothers words,he didnt loose hope no matter how long it took he will find it.Anorah was now at sea in a little boat which seemed to be caught up in a storm.He fought through it but it was just futile as the waves overpowered his boat,sinking it together with him,as he slowly lost conscious the only thing in mind was..)

Anorah:"Is this where my journey ends?!"(As he continues to sink.)

(Moments later he woke up at the shores of an island,it was now morning.)

Anorah:(Waking up with sore muscle and coughs out water.)Dang!How am I still alive.(Just then he feels vibrations on the land as he turns to face the island and sees a vast amount of Emerald green plantations.)Wait!Am I here?Mom wasnt kidding when she said the forest will find me,but is this place moving!(As he moves a to the far end of the beach to see the island itself well rather the size of a small country was moving,as he sees a head of what seems to be a giant turtle pop out of the water.)COOL!(As then we move inside the forest to see little creatures spying on the boy who had arrived at their shores,Arnold feels their gaze.)Whose there?(The creatures were to afraid to show themselves as Arnold slowly creeps up to where the creatures were but at seeing him they run into the forest.)Hey wait im friendly.(As he gives chase into the unknown dodging the branches while using some as leeway,when suddenly the creatures were but as he came closer they decided to scatter away as we see Anorah chasing after them into the forest,as he was running he was coming very close to a clif,he tried stopping but couldnt slow down in time as he went straight down,but just as he thought it was over he felt smth lifting him,multiple infact as he opened his eyes to see multiple spirits of different shapes,size and colour,as he saw to yellow koala like spirits with floating holding him at the arms and a white squirrel spirit holding him by the hair.)Oh wow,actuall spirits I thought they were just myths.(Just then a big blue bear spirit floated from below and held him,hoisting him back to the top.As multiple others spirits came to see this human for they had never seen one in a very long time.)

Anorah:Well then I dont know how to thank u all for saving my life,i would give u some food if my boat wasnt at the bottom of the ocean right now.(As the spirits come and examine him closely and see that he is a kind soul as the small one hop on him showering him with their excitement of meeting a good human.)Well ur a joyfull bunch.(Just then a voice comes from within the forest.)

Voice:Well thats because they seem to like u young man.(As he comes out of the shadows,it a very old looking man with along bushy white beard across his face.This was Abul, the great sage known by all but only a few have ever actually laid eyes on him,he was said to have vast knowledge,wisdom and power,but the spirits know him better as the father of spirits for he was no human but a spirit itself the 1st spirit and he chose to leave the spirit realm for a while to see what the human realm has to offer.We see the spirits bow to him.)

Arnold:So its u who I was sent to find.

Abul:Well I expected ur mother to be the one,but the universe is full of wonders.(As the mood shifts to a more solemn one.)But at times,it can be cruel,I am sorry for her loss.(Arnold looks down but then speaks.)

Arnold:Well if she were here she wouldnt want me too just stay sad all day.(As a smile creeps on his face.)

Abul:Uve grown since then,thats good.Now then...(Stroking his beard.)U must be tired why dont we go settle in and get some food in ur stomach young Anorah.

Anorah:U know my name!

Abul:Is that surprising?

Anorah:Guess it shouldnt be.

Abul:Now then follow me.(As he moves into the forest and the spirits follow him as a golden steed spirit come to Arnold seemingly asking him to ride on him.On the way he asks what is the island exactly and Abul answers that it is a turtle spirit which hailed from the spirit realm together with the hundreds of other spirits on it and that the forest itself is a spiritual one and that it had special properties such as healing and rejuvinating those within it.Within moments they had arrived at Abuls home which seemed to be a huge tree like house.)Make urself at home child,for u will be here for quite a good while.

(He spent a good 15 yrs there and within that time Abul told him that the powers of the chosen were never even unlocked,they were there but dormant for the person who bestowed the power had never meant for it to be used unless the wielder fully understands its origin.This is when Abul taught him that the powers hailed from a realm higher than creation itself even higher than the heavens themselves for it came from the creator himself,the creator was trying to find a person who was trully worthy of the title Angel of the mortal realm,to achieve this u had to be willing to sacrifice everything and just to follow him,to unlock the full potential of the power,be rid of all worldly attachments and pledge ur life,being and purpose to serving the creator only then will the power trully awaken.With the help of Abul Anorah managed to unlock some of the powers such as the wings of order,powerful wings that can be called upon automatically that give the wielder the power of flight and strong enough to protect its wielder.The limit of their full potential was only limited to its wielders view of them,another was the ability to conjure the silver amour and claymore said to be crafted by the Angel of crafts herself and yet again the limitation of these were limited by the wielders view of them.He learned to compress the armour in 2 bracelets on his wrists and activate it whenever he need to and the sword took the shape of whatever he imagined it to be and he made it to be a claymore,with these new powers he attained greater magical and spiritual power,his strength,speed and durability grew exponentially.He grew in strength as he did in age for now he had started to develop a beard and mustache for he was now 28yrs old.During this time Anorah felt truly at peace,but little did he know of the horrors that happened outside of the spirit turtle island,as we move to the outside world to find multiple kingdoms fallen due to the rampage of Baruk and his forces just searching for the boy,till he finally decided,instead of searching for him,he would make the boy come to him.He took his forces to the kingdom of Reinhard at this time Princess Hanya was now the queen and her scoutmen came with a report that the demons were headed their way.She ordered her elites to ready themselves,every knight in the kingdom,the adventurer and mages who wanted to fight by their side and for the citizens they had to be evacuated,but some wanted to fight for their kingdom and the queen couldnt convince them otherwise for during her rein she took to her personal choice to personally oversee the kingdom and its ppl,so every morning she would get up and go through her kingdom greeting everyone and suggesting what they could do where they had trouble and just helped everyone in general.)

(Later that night,on the turtle,Anorah had a vision of Reinhard falling and Hanya being killed.So he decided to leave immediately as he just summoned his wings and shot out in the direction of the kingdom hoping he wasnt to late.As we see Abul looking at the light that was Anorah flying.)

Deep voice:U do realise that he still isnt ready father.(It was the turtle which was speaking.)

Abul:Well thenthe choice is up to him,besides its his life and the creator himself wanted his creation to live freely,if he leaves omnipotence for the ones he loves I support him in that notion.

(As we move to See Anorah flying past several other places that had suffered at the hands of Baruk,and in mere moments he arrived at the kingdom of Reinhard and found it still intact and was so relieved,he wasted no time and went straight for the castle when he was welcomed with arrows but used his wings to block them.)

Anorah:Wait,I am not ur enemy.(As he drops down at the guards who were weary of him for they had never seen a man with wings.As they tried to attack him but their swordsmen were just carefully taken care of as he continued trying to tell them he wasnt their enemy and was there to help.)Why wont u guys stop for a sec and litsen,just get me the princess,she knows who I am.

Voice:If u mean queen,she is right infront of u.(As he looks in that direction to see Hanya,as the men stopped fighting and as Hanya took a bit closer at him she seemed to recognize him.)

Hanya:"It cant be...Is that really him."Anorah is that really u?(She asked unsure of herself.)

Anorah:In the flesh.(Chuckles nervously as they share a moment of silence,as Hanya slowly walks towrads him.)Hanya look im sorr...(As he is silenced by a hug as the guards stand in shock as to why the queen just hugged the stranger.)Whats this for?

Hanya:U have no idea how much I missed.(As she releases the hug.)Now then this is for leaving without so much as a goodbye.(As she kicks him straight in the next generations hold.)

Anorah:(Falls to the ground in pain.)I deserve that.

Hanya:Dont worry men,this is a long lost friend who has returned.(As he takes him inside the castle where he tells her everything that happened to him.)

Anorah:So when did u become queen and wheres mom and dad.

Hanya:Well then guess news doesnt reach if ur in the middle of the ocean on a giant spirit turtle.(As she chuckles anxiuosly.Anorahs already knows its not gonna be good news)They both died…

Anorah:Oh!Sorry for asking.(He says sadly.)

Hanya:If ur thinking the demons did it,dont blame urself they died peacefully from old age,it happened 2 years ago,after the funeral I got crowned as queen.

Anorah:I see.(Trying to figure the right words to say.)That mustve been some huge responsibility for u and,it was so sudden.

Hanya:It was,but I had people around who helped me with that…(Anorah looks down in shame knowing that he wasnt there in her time of need.)Lets just not talk about that now,ok?(As Anorah nods.)We could use ur help in the upcoming battle,im guessing the sage was the one who told u about the trouble weve been having out here.

Arnold:(Realising he left without saying goodbye.)Ye he totally did.(As they enter the war room where the generals of the guards were speaking of ways to stop the demons and plans on how to retaliate against them.As they entered they all stayed silent to address and greet their queen,other greeting her as her highness and other as.…)

General:Whose the new kid,commander?

Anorah:(Not expecting that.)COMMANDER!?

Hanya:What!Did u think u were the only one out there training?

Arnold:Well u were the tomboyish type,so I dont know….Just caught me by surprise I guess.

Hanya:(Scoffs and turns to her generals.)Generals,high priestess u might not remember him,but this is Anorah,the only reason why we lived to see this day.(They spend a few minutes getting acquinted with each other as they talk battle strategies for the demons would arrive by morning,when Anorah decided to speak.)

Anorah:Actually what if I told u I could handle all the demons including Baruk all by myself.(As the general are astonished and shocked from hearing this.)

Woman:Preposterous!

Anorah:No im serious,i have spent the past 15 years realizing my powers and mastering them and Abul told me that beings like Baruk never train,for they never think anything of humans.(Just then Hanya said to believe in him and they will just stay back incase he fails.)

(Moments later we come to find them outside the kingdoms walls,thousands of knights,hundreds of archers and mages with Hanya at the lead with her general,sword and weapons at the ready.We see Arnold at the top of it all but just to be safe he casts a spell on the whole kingdom to prevent any demons from teleporting inside,it was a barrier that covered the whole kingdom.As the clouds take on a crimson glow,as they look over the horizon to see multiple demons coming upon them,Anorah summons Divine breaker,the claymore that could cut whatever the wielder decided it could,as we see him infusing it with immense spiritual energy,and then sends it out in the directions of the demons as it cuts across their numbers but the demons were still coming as we see Anorah heave a cold sigh as multiple blue magic circles form above the demon forces and we see them release a barrage of icicles of all size on top of them,just then we see several flying demons charging towards them but Anorah turns the claymore into a dagger as he moves at light speed through the demons in the sky as we see several cuts and slashes in the sky killing all of the airborne demons and the Reinhard army took it as their queue to charge in and attack for the demon numbers had been greatly reduced.Anorah wasted no time used his powers and searched for Baruk.)

Anorah:(As Baruk feels him.)There u are!(As he speed to the back of the hoarde of demons destroying the ones in his path and finally reached Baruk.The humans cried out their war cries as they dealt with the few demons that remained without any casualties on their side as Hanya decided to go help Anorah.We come to see their fight and Anorah is absolutely decimating Baruk,this isnt even a fight but a beating,for Baruk stood no chance.Baruk saw there was no way he could win this fight,so he decided to use a spell that would detonate every single demon body in the area,the same he used to wipe out Soniah,as they started glowing,Just then Anorah saw Hanya coming to him and saw that Baruk was also about to go boom and had to make a choice fast and so he did,as he swiftly moved to Baruk and incased both him and pin pointed all the other demons with his ice as he incased them with ice compressing their explosion and nuetralising them,but the force was still felt as we see Hanya getting pushed back.Anorah prevented Baruk and his demon from exploding.The generals came to check on hanya.)

General 1:Commander!Commander are u ok?(As she helps her up.)

Hanya:(Staring at whats in front of her.)Im fine,Im fine.

General 2:Are u sure?

Hanya:(Continue to stares ahead,as he moves close to it.)He saved us...(As we see a huge mountain of ice where Baruk and Anorah were.)Again,he saved us.(As tears comes falling from her eyes,as the generals know what she trully feels.)

General 3:Oh!My queen...(She says solemnly.)

Hanya:(Griefing.)I know he just saved us,but couldnt he just say something before he leaves me….(As she cries.)Again?!(As she punches the ice wall in sorrow,for the other family member she had left,leaves her again.As she whispers.)U udiot.(As the generals come to comfort her.)

(Few weeks later the kingdom was coming back to its normal state as the demons bodies return back to hell but Anorah was still incased in the huge ice,Hanya and the entire kingdom tried to break the ice,but no matter what they did to the ice,it would not break nor melt,no matter how much time passsed it would not thaw out or no matter how many fire or ice mages they brought to remove it they couldnt even dent it,till she said to just live it there as a memorial of the one that saved them and earned them that victory that day.Anorah the hero.)

(Then years passed,and Hanya was now an old lady,as she came with flowers in her hand.)

Hanya:(Smiling at the ice.)How are u,Anorah.Not reall sure if u can here me,but...(As she looks to the sky.)Do u remember what today is...Its the day u came to us,Anorah,the day we met.(As she sits across from the ice wall.)I know that day was not a very kind day for u,but forgive me for being selfish,but for me it was my happiest day.(As she starts crying.)I know u lost very many ppl close to u that day,but it was also the day I got to know u,and from then I grew attached to u,like a broth...(As she chuckles.)Who am I even kidding,i fell for,over the course of our time together I grew more closer to u,more drawn to u,i never even got the chance to say how I felt,and that night when ur mother came to u,and said u should leave,i wanted so badly to come with u...to tell u how I felt,but now...(As she starts to cough.)Ill never get the chance,to share what couldve been.(As she coughs even more.)With u,guess ill just have to see u and tell all these on the other side.(As she smiles and rests her back on the ice for the final time,for her years had finally caught up with her.)

(Hundreds even Thousands of years passed as we see the ice just slowly sinking to the ground as time passes,500k years had passed when now we are in the modern world to see some cave diver who had discovered the ice and this was at the time Arnold finally awoke breaking through the ice himself,He was taken in by the cave divers but at 1st they were afraid of the boy,for something occurred to Anorah during that time for he reverted back to his teenage years and not only that but he had also lost some of his memories if not all.Afew months of living with the cave divers he started rembering his past hiss real name for Arnold was given to him by the cave diver,and Hanya who was now long dead for it had been 500k years,his sadness then called forth his bracelets to appear and wings,and it was at this time when George sort him out and came to get him and made him into a member of gamma after he examined him and trained him for the divers had taught him abit of how to live in the modern world,he still lives with them actually for they are like his parents but smth even crazier happened for 3 years had passed and he didnt appear to be aging,they never knew the cause till this day what made him revert back to his 19 year old body and forever stay in that state.)
