The Chaos Of Battle III
At first, after the figures had gone, some hot-blooded guild members thought that the best thing to do was to follow them immediately. They began to try to regroup to do so, but ignored their teacher. Though he tried to talk to them, they did not want to listen to Shambala. They were so upset that they were not ready to listen to reason.It had to take Grover and Vladimir stepping in to make them see reason. It took some time, but after a while, they successfully stopped them from going after the figures. They also used the opportunity to warn them not to go against Shambala because he had their best interests at heart. Besides, there were always consequences for such disobedience, even if Shambala did not punish them for it.When they had eventually calmed down, they settled on the ground, ready to listen to Shambala. There was no hall to go back to, and the entire camp was in shambles. Having relaxed, Shambala saw how tired and defeated they looked. This was not a time to beat them d

Chaos After Battle
The members of the guild sat on the ground in a semicircle, and Grover had gotten up to address them. After having laughed at Grover’s quip, and after the latter died down, Grover kept on talking.“I am not surprised that our teacher noticed my little trick, though I tried to be discreet about it. I had noticed early on that this battle was not going to be one of physical prowess alone but also mental capacity, so I reserved some of my energy for battle. That proved to be a very wise decision because, with that incapacitating sound, I would have gone down fully. “The sound mainly affects those using the highest form of energy exertion at the point the sound is made, so it is one’s ability to remain calm despite the pain caused by the sound that robs it of its power, like an endurance test. Hence our teacher’s invulnerability to it.”There was a sound of exclamation all around as the others finally figured out why they felt intense pain and fell to the ground, but Shambala remained sta

Regroup
The entire guild stood ready to fight but had missed the fact that they had left Shambala, Vladimir, and Vancouver behind them, and all three of them had very amused looks on their faces. Shambala chuckled softly and asked them. Won’t you want to find out what is behind the wall before you proceed to attack it?“At this weird question, a few of them relaxed their distance and waited for whatever it was that was behind the wall to show itself. And much to their collective amusement, they discovered that this was no enemy. The villages, who had acted as cooks for them all as well, suddenly came out of hiding, and attention that had built up in the company was suddenly diffused.Apparently, these gentlemen had decided to hide when they saw the caliber of the enemy they had come against them. They could deal with men. But figures such as those from the organization are left to the members of the guild. When the diabolical sound and the three figures have been released, these poor villages,

Journey
That morning, as they got up at first light, they began preparations for the journey. Grover and Vladimir had a discussion with Shambala. The teacher was assigning duties and told Grover that he was going to be in charge of leading the group to the hideout of the organization. Vladimir, who was not affected in any way by that decision, simply nodded and was comfortable with it. Grover, however, protested because, though he had worked with Krystal to participate in leading the group, he had never been solely responsible for the direction of the guild.“I could simply tell you what direction we ought to go in, and then we will all follow you. There is really no need for me to be the one to lead the team. You are a teacher and a leader.“ He said it was near desperation.However, Shambala would not be moved and had made up his mind. “I already told you what I have had the privilege of thinking about through the night. There is no other way for us to be really sure of where we’re going if y

The Gates Of Doom
Grover had pointed at a particular spot, saying that this is where the others had disappeared and that his birds were here. He had been observing that spot for awhile before he made the declaration, but whatever it was that he saw that made him come to that conclusion, only he could see it.The group was shocked by Grover's words because, at that time, they had gone through several parts of the forest, which they had never even been to before, and were in a place that seemed more like a desert. But then, at the same time, they knew he was not going to joke about matters like this and thus believed him, though it did not seem like it.Shambala, who had somewhat drawn off to the side, came back to the front of the company and asked Grover, “What next?” Grover nodded at him in acknowledgement of his question and proceeded to wave his hands in the air in front of him, and out of nowhere, a flock of birds appeared. All of them gasped in shock because they didn't even notice the birds. It

The Gates Of Doom II
Following the suggestion by one of them, they fired at the barrier until a building started to reveal itself in bits as they hit it. And as they persisted, the whole building was shown to be a gate. At some point, no matter how hard they hit, the building wouldn’t budge but continued to reflect their energy against them. It’s only made him get tired faster.Shambala had come to the front of the company and was able, after some time, to interpret the inscription on the door. He voiced out the words in the old tongue and then translated them into their language as “the gates of doom." As if the literal meaning of the words was not terrifying enough, the horror on his face as he said those words made a chill run down the spines of his men. Some of them, who had invariably been to close the door, moved further away from it.Of course, they knew that they had no choice but to go in knowing that Krystal was in there, and they would not leave without him. Seeing these things only made them he

The Gates Of Doom III
Open, open, mother of horror, and let the children come in. Kin or foe, you shall decide. For to kin your cleave and on foe you will feast. These words reverberated in Grover’s mind as he heard the crack of the opening of the Gates of Doom, and indeed, as they opened, he understood why they were known as the gates of hell. The others have been clearly amazed that the poem he heard in the atmosphere turned out to be the key, and as Shambala said the words, the gate opened. However, before they could jubilate, some figures flew out of the building, looking at them angrily; they did not look like they were pleased to see them.Obviously, since no one knew the location of the gates of doom, it was understandable that they had not had guests in a long time. Not like a place called the Gates of Doom would have many visitors at any rate. In Vladimir’s mind, as he looked at these figures, he quickly realized that this was where the battle was to begin. He only hoped that their fate did not e

Battle At The Gates Of Doom
As soon as Grover noticed that the portal and the gates had started shutting them in, he quickly shouted, “Fight for the freedom of the five continents, oh ye men! This is a fight for the earth!”This charge, as innocuous as it sounded, was just the right encouragement that his comrades needed as they warded off their enemies with physical strength and artifact strength. They fought as though recharged by an invisible force.While he was fighting, Shambala found a way to distance his mind from the fight and then his thoughts. And as he did so, he realized something. That one, when the bell was rung earlier, had a code to it. One strike alone would have been a major indication that the barrier had been reached. Two strikes would have been a call for reinforcement, being that the intruders would be too strong. Three strikes were a summons for every possible fighting person in the structure to come out and join the reinforcement. And if that was the situation, it means that every single

Battle At The Gates Of Doom II
Grover and Vladimir have been deployed by Shambala to go find Krystal and his father, rescue them, and bring them to safety while he and the rest of the guild had a face-off with the members of the organization at the gate. Aside from the unfortunate fellow who had seen them attempting to escape and had paid for it dealing with his life, no other person had seen or been accosted so far because of the chaos they had left at the gate. Grover did not think that they would intentionally make such a stupid decision as to drain the entire facility of its fighting force to only one location to fight an enemy.He thought that the decision to concentrate their entire fighting force in one location was born out of the mindset that they had never been attacked here and, with the exception of the members of the guild, might never have even been discovered at this location. Grover also thought of how it was such a good feeling. Nobody was lunging at him to take his life or were trying to fight wit

In The Enemy's Lair
Grover and Vladimir had been fighting the security person they had seen by the gate to the cave, and it looked like he was getting the better of them. In fact, he had begun gloating, teasing, and making fun of them about how weak they were despite being two and coming against him as a single person.Just as he thought that he had defeated the two, a loud yell came from deep inside the structure. When Grover heard it, it took a minute to sink in, and he then became excited because he would know this voice. Anyway, this was Krystal’s voice. Krystal was yelling that he was not going to agree to be used.“ Arggg!!! Leave me alone! I will win! I have already won! I will always win.“ He kept shouting these over and over again, warding off whatever entity it was that he was fighting, saying that he wouldn’t give up and he'd keep fighting. The more they listened to the exchange, the more they realized that he wasn’t fighting with someone outside of himself but with something on his inside. It
