Political Surrendering

The Next Day After The Crash, Survivors Wake Up as the layer above the lake on which they were resting can be seen to have lowered in density as they have left prints on the land where they were sleeping too signifying that the land may have grown fragile in the meantime. Although no one focuses on it, they decide to continue their search for food and water for the day till any rescue is found.

Everybody gets up and starts going but Jean's leg gets submerged in between the land as if it was a marshy/buggy land but it was not happening with anybody else and they were shocked by what was happening too. 

The whole day, they push the sand out and dislocate it all over the place in hope to find something but they couldn't find anything. Jean despite being the most injured was able to do things with more effective strength and capabilities which was still a mystery to everybody including Jean. All he said was he was feeling energetic inside. 

Rehan rubs the sand with his wound believing the superstitions his parents gave to him may come true by healing them. But all they did was more hurt but everybody had rubbed it with their wounds too in the same hope which came to no success.

Dawn strikes and they all go to sleep again at another plain place finding nothing and all hungry Inside.

The Same Day all the Platoons Were searching for the survivors but from the commander's faces, it could be understood that they didn't find anybody.

Another day opens and survivors get up again but are weak to the extent from hunger that they can't walk properly. While they were moving miserably, they were able to see a cart and start waving their hands calling for help.

It was actually the Rescue platoon Headed by Commander Kaiden Of Shinguki who had seen some kids offshore at the same Time. He ordered them to move to those Kids.

Platoon Approaches them and Eris orders them to help them. On it, Kaiden wasn't able to recognise her but as soon as her face was cleaned, he could see that It was The Daughter of King Betelguese Himself, Princess Eris. The Medical gets treatment immediately. Jean has a Chat With Kaiden who had met him before on a tour to Okyot and reveals they are the first livings He Has Found on the Search. 

Kaiden is shocked to see that the surroundings weren't looking like an asteroid may have crashed here as it was all quiet and Clean all there. 

Eris Sits on the Cart and asks about her father if he was out already or not and why a person like him was on the outskirts and not in the Centre on which Kaiden informs her of the Fact that the King wasn't out till the Crash Happened and an another Faction is out looking for him Specially. Eris satisfies herself with her own sayings and punches it with small force in the Pain the Medications were Causing which results in breakdown of the flooring of the Cart. Kaiden is shocked as Jean Scolds her for not doing things Rashly as discussed Earlier among them and the fact she has always remained careless even at this point. Eris ignores him. 

Kaiden asks Eris if some Questions could be asked from her personally regarding the Incident to be given a report later on but Eris Declines for the meantime and tells him to ask from her other friends themselves as per their will. They are being treated alongside her too. Kaiden asks Jean if the Questions Could be asked from him on which he agrees on the Condition that His Friends will be Arriving with them in the Same Carriage. Kaiden Firmly Agrees on it saying that he wanted to ask the Questions from everyone Afterall.

By the Dawn, they Arrive safely in the Palace of Alamba where all the Kings Were Staying and get to know that they were the only Faction who had come back till now from the mission with Some Findings.

They all are allotted their rooms to sleep and given a good meal which they enjoy to their best as if it was their last meal. Deyja Personally Meets them and greets them.

Next Day, the meeting starts again with a brief introduction by Deyja of The Survivors and Princess Eris and a formal Thanks to the highly like Brain of King Bradford, Commander Kaiden.

King Harald Asks of King Betelguese on which Kaiden informs of having no information about his departure or finding in Okyot till now on which everybody expresses their sorrows. King Alfred asks if he was the new King Of Okyot by Supremacy on the idea of which Eris Protests hardly but Deyja clears he has no desires or intentions of such a high status till then.

King Bradford diverts the path of conversation by Asking Kaiden to be given a full report of the Conditions in Okyot by his perspectives on which Kaiden expresses that the Land had Nothing, No Animals, No Humans, No Life and it was all flat. He stated the Land to be newly Formed.

King Bradford is wondering on his statement on which Deyja clears more that there wasn't even a piece of debris left of The Infrastructure or The Asteroid which should have been there but there wasn't anything. It was like the Land was deserted for a long time. 

King Alfred asks if Kaiden is suggesting some kind of his own Conspiracy behind it but Eris panicked in between and says that Kaiden was telling Lies as it wasn't what those kids saw there. There was the smell of dead people, their Burnt to death bodies, rotting bodies and everything and questions on how he couldn't see them.

King Harald scolds the little Kid on her Sanity of cutting in between without an authority but confirms that he wants an answer on what Eris Said.

Kaiden continues his report by saying that the Children survived are found to be different too and have gotten some supernatural powers. A ruckus happens on his statement as the Kids accuse him of lying from his promise in between them and The Kings are confused and want more details. Kaiden describes the Incident he witnessed in front of Eris when she broke the Flooring of the Cart with little strength which can't be considered a coincidence because they didn't eat anything for 2 days straight so it wasn't a small Feat. He Says further that the Kids didn't eat anything except Jean who ate a piece of rock out of sanity. 

King Bradford says that Kaiden was contradicting his own statements by saying now that Jean ate a piece of rock when he couldn't find a piece by himself. Kaiden replies that he didn't have answers on those 2 things, The Debris Leftover and the origin of powers among Kids.

King Helios confirms from kids themselves if they are feeling good now and have eaten well after getting in Alamba or not. He further wants to know from them what happened after Crash and how they Survived.

Eris starts speaking but is Stopped by King Bradford as they want to know from other Kids too and dares her to use her royalty instinctively not Strategically.

Ivar starts speaking and informs that they all were travelling together with his and Gina's Parents but since the Crash, they haven't seen their parents. Hina says that they were able to find bodies of a couple who were suspected to be her parents but it couldn't be confirmed because of the burns they had and of no solid evidence being found. King Helios asks if any other bodies were found on which they say that they didn't find anybody else than that.

Jean explains that he agrees with both Eris and Kaiden as after the Crash, only A disaster could have been witnessed for who was still alive there but only a day after, most of the things had disappeared or vanished which was a shock for him too.

Rehan says that he doesn't have to say anything else and just wants to know about his parents who were still in Okyot. King Alfred bluntly says that they would be most likely dead for which he is sorry but instead of feeling sorrow Rehan looks more relieved than ever and starts smirking which is questioned by King Bradford but he prefers to go on the topic of Discussing what was ought to be done with Okyot after the Crash. He orders the kids to go out of the court in the meantime and rest and the orders are followed by them.

Deyja thinks if Bradford had gone paranoid at the moment because Okyot was supposed to be rebuilt with the financial help given or not. King Bradford furthers clears and makes Deyja reminds of the fact that the pact done 7 years ago has only 2 resolutions, the peace treaty and military assistance in the time of distress but special assistance was provided to Okyot on the plea of King Betelguese for the happening of crash only and he shouldn't even think of Nations giving them financial assistance. Deyja understands he is on the back foot here and suggests to postpone the discussion on the matter by the time King Betelguese arrives Personally as it is a serious matter. King Harald Notices the Ambition on which King Bradford was rising and asks him to complete his viewpoint on the aftermaths of Okyot.

King Bradford tells that Okyot in any way isn't having any source of active or passive revenue for now because of the Crash and as Kaiden says everything being made flat and it being a new Land. So they all should divide the kingdom among themselves and make it prosper as it will be impossible by the Okyot alone at the moment and if it's allowed, it weakens the pact and credibility of Alliance Nations at the Same time Provoking other Nations to wage war at Okyot anytime.

King Alfred Completes his statement furtherly by saying that in such a situation, we have to provide military assistance regularly to Okyot free of cost increasing expenses on their side. King Bradford agrees to him and suggests to just transform those expenses to Investment by taking the land for themselves as then any other Nations wouldn't even think of waving a war.

King Harald and Alfred both agree to Bradford but Deyja says they should take the opinion of King Betelguese in this matter too and shouldn't decide it on their own on which King Harald says the decisions are taken on a vote here. King Helios puts another scenario to the lookout that the Kids have awakened some powers as Deyja says, and if we do as King Bradford says, they may come to have revenge on us. 

King Harald calls Helios a coward of just 5 small kids but Kaiden reminds him that he shouldn't be fooled again by his own mind of thinking someone as a kid and Harald grows a fury among him remembering his Past With Kaiden.

King Alfred is interested in listening to what King Helios was saying and Helios continues that The Kids may be Useful to them as a symbolic representation in many ways. They have powers, they will grow strong and alliance could use them as a symbol against other Nations as a leader itself.

King Bradford calls the proposal nuistic and suggests Helios to come up with a better plan. Helios completed his word by suggesting to divide the Kids among themselves one each and grow them to evade any possibility of revenge at the same time.

Deyja protests against the offer and says they can't take the independent status of Okyot on their own and take up the custody of kids at the same time. King Bradford says what if Okyot is kicked out of the Nation right now ? It wouldn't be unfair to take up the nation then. 

King Alfred tells King Bradford to calm down and remember why he joined the pact,which was to get away from his monopolistic mindset. King Bradford laughs upon himself and after some time of Awkward Silence, he thanks Alfred as Deyja is surprised on this and wonders what brought this sudden change in King Bradford while he was going all wild Currently in the Meeting. Although his Wonder is unanswered, the meeting is brought to an end for the day bringing no conclusions to any decision.

At Night, Deyja can be seen discussing Deeply With Eris on some matter while on the other Side, King Bradford is in his Balcony with King Alfred and Kaiden beneath the Moonlight of 2 Moons discussing on his side too. After some time, Bradford stands up in confidence and thanks both of his accomplices for their support.

"What will happen to Okyot Now? Divided or Remained Same? Well, we all know the answer to it already, don't we?", Narrates Flamen.
