The question was one of the simplest that anyone could get asked, but it is the hardest to answer right now for the master. How could he tell his dear friend, he sought for the wizard at Shinjuya? Shinjuya was the mother country to many nations. It housed the Krep Nation (also known as the Fire Nation), Juisah, and Hokona Nations among many others. How could he look his friend in the eye and cause him more harm and pain? He could not do that. It was a lasting feeling the emperor still battled. This might be his greatest battle yet. Master Yonda was brought back from his deep thoughts as a strange hand touched him. “Yes?” He blinked “Are you okay, dear friend?” The emperor asked, concern written all over his voice.“Yes. Yes, I am. I was just trying as much as I could to devise another plan.” Master Yonda smiled at the emperor.“One would think with all your magic and magicians, you would have worked less hard but no, here you are being the same Tam.” The emperor smiled as his hand

“What does he think he is doing?” Kakashi asked Daichi’s footsteps were short and calm as air. He continued his movement toward the figures who weren’t so far away anymore. He took two more steps and suddenly, fog covered his vision. He stood straight, confused. He turned back to see his friends, but there was nothing in sight. All he saw was the light cloud that hovered all over him. “What is he doing?” Kakashi asked as they all watched Daichi stop suddenly. “I think... wait, no!” Zoa dashed toward Daichi. Air was caught in her hands as she swung her arm from a close distance to drag Daichi from the same pattern that had gotten her sister. “N—noooooooooo!” Her shout woke up half the students that lay in bed; Jiro came rushing, he cheated friction with the expert stop he got on his feet. “What is it? Why did you scream?” Jiro looked at Zoa. Zoa was on her knees, her neck bent over her body as her head hung in the air. Her face was swollen and her eyes puffed like an eruption

“Kakashi!” The piercing scream of excitement from Tanya moved heads toward the direction in which her legs took off. A strange violent wind of ice, rather than dust, had blown to the surprise of everyone. Students were not in the circle, but they loitered around. The screams and cries had kept them awake. How could they sleep? Their doctor had just died. To get to where these screams came from, you had to pass by the gory sight of the doctor’s brutal death as if the attack by the chaos monsters days before wasn’t enough. Kakashi rose to his feet weakly. He held his right side with his left hand, gingerly walking with the aid of Tanya’s shoulders. Tanya brought him from the disappearing location to where they all were, still plotting how to go about their return. Jiro knew Kakashi was special, but he did not expect him to return with Daichi. If he had returned alone, it wouldn’t have taken him aback, but him and Daichi? That was incredible. He stood in awe of his abilities, watching

“After our punishment, I refused to join her to sneak out like we used to. I missed it, and it became a problem in our friendship. Our friendship was drowning and it fought to be saved. I had no one anymore, she could have the whole school if she wanted. After a while and a deep thought, I told her after training to meet me outside at night. I was lonely, I missed her.” A tear rolled down Jiro’s right cheek. “I really wish I hadn’t. I should have just remained lonely. I shouldn’t have tried what I did. I just wanted my friend back. I am sorry.” His head faced down in disappointment and in guilt of what had happened.“Whatever happened, you do not need to beat yourself too much about it. This happened a long time ago. You can forgive yourself Jiro.” Syouei moved closer to him. He put his arm around Jiro’s shoulders. The sound of his regret continued in the form of his head calling back the tears that streamed from his nostrils. “It was not a long time ago; it still feels like yesterd

“Ready the horses!” Tomi shouted the emperor’s orders. The guards rallied around to get more horses from their stables while Tomi went to get properly dressed for the occasion that was at hand. The generous clanging sounds of steel against steel were a testament to the extravagance of steel weapons possessed by Yahuza in their arsenal.The guards trooped into the armoury, making way with their preferred weapons. Bows & arrows hung on a special wall, away from crossbows and the special katana swords that showcased the true craftsmanship of the Yahuza people. Their steel weapons were their most notable skill. Their katana swords made them very famous in the land. Only a select few knew they had even better resources at their disposal. The unmistakable thud of footsteps echoed in the gigantic halls of the palace, and the marching sounds of his war boots left the guards feeling underdressed and unprepared as his robe floated with the gentle breeze that resonated with his grace. The emp
