2022-04-25 03:31:07"come to think of it, I don't know how my village came to be"
"and now it's been destroyed and wiped out of history...."
"wait....."
"what is history?"
these thoughts ran through Uzo's mind as he evaded the fleet's lasers and headed back towards the ruined village.
he was glad when he saw the entire fleet follow him back and he was assured of his family's safety. as soon as he reached the outskirts of the village, he immediately sunk his arm into the ground and turned it as if he had held on to something. then suddenly two cannons rose up from the ground and began firing at the fleet.
"my power amazes me sometimes" Uzo said as he sat back and watched the beautiful display of fireworks.
The show was fun and all but it had to come to an end at some point, and that point wasn't when neither side could no longer fire anything at each other. the fleet was the first to run out and they received a lot of damage until Uzo's cannons ran out. but the show was far from over and Uzo was very aware of the event that was about to unfold.
He stretched and flexed his muscles as he watched the remaining ships land and open their doors. and from inside the ships came large troops, all looking like they were the embodiment of tactical gear. each one of them covered head to toe with armour, the night vision goggles that they were obviously not going to use in the hot afternoon, and of course the guns, who doesn't like guns.
The guns seemed high-tech and quite powerful but unfortunately they didn't get much use after the first few shots.
Uzo with his incredible speed immediately got in their midst taking them down. he did it bare handed(and also barefoot(and also bare chested) so the best way was to either punch a hole through his foes, rip them apart, or use their own weapons against them. but as the battle unfolded, Uzo showed no intention of using the third option, partly because he was doing fine with the first two and mostly because what the soldiers were.
"these are not men" he said as he ripped apart their synthetic flesh and wires that held them together. "but they sure look like they were made by men" he added as he continued his savagely evasive attack.
as time passed, Uzo began nearing his limits. he could no longer completely evade the attacks that were directed towards him and as time progressed, he started getting hit. even though he could see every move the enemy was making and how to stop them he had become too weak to carry out his evasive actions. and this continued until he finally fell from exhaustion.
as he laid there with time moving slower than it should, Uzo looked up at the evening sky and thought
"at the point of my death, why couldn't the clouds give way, so I could see a beautiful sunset."
"Instead they remain up there, refusing me a sight of beauty and unwilling to shroud my agony in the rain" these thoughts ran through his mind as he got tired of watching his life flash before his eyes and closed it. then a second thought of "one more time" ran through and his eyes opened with the brightest glow known to man.
everything and everyone one that was near him got pushed back by the intense force that came from him. then at the top of his voice, he yelled "AMADIOHA!!!" and lightning struck the earth around him with a force no man could withstand, and the thunder that came from it could be heard from where Uzo's family were. Ada and her mother were worried but they made a promise to keep going and did not stop.
the lightning struck around Uzo for several hours, preventing anyone from coming close. anyone who dared was immediately reduced to ashes and all the soldiers could do was to stand and wait as nothing could pass the lightning barrier.
after a few minutes the lightning barrier seemed to have gotten weaker. the intense force could no longer be felt and the thundering was no longer heard. but as the soldiers got closer, they saw a man kneeling next to Uzo. his hair was as white as white could be, his eyes were as blue as an ocean of sapphires and he was clad in a pure white garment. the surrounding lightning flowed into him until none was left. and then he stood up and looked around him.
before the soldiers could take the initiative and attack he had already begun, and in a manner of seconds, he was the only one standing. then he walked over to Uzo and picked him up facing the direction of the forest.
Meanwhile, Ada and her mother were finally close enough to the forest to see the entrance. they had no problem getting there but the distance took a lot out of them. they were tired and hungry and the only thing that kept them going till morning was hope and sheer will. as they got closer, they could see someone running towards them from the entrance of the forest.
"are my eyes deceiving me?" Ada wondered as she rubbed her tear filled eyes "Isn't that Uzo?" she said as looked again. and Indeed it was Uzo. she forgot all her exhaustion and and ran to hug her brother, there was no word that could be used to describe the amount of joy she felt. tears of joy fell as the family was reunited. even though they were just separated the day before, it felt like it had been years. then Uzo's mother popped the question "but how did you get here before us?" but Uzo didn't seem to have an answer, he just remained dumbfounded until he was told to not worry about it. they headed into the forest to begin their new life.
Inside the forest, they met a few people who were already living there and they were given a warm welcome. Uzo spent most of his years using his power to try and figure out the true meaning and purpose of the Order, but his power was not the type to show him what he wanted to see. he aimed at causing the true end of order but even after he looked through fifty years of the future he didn't get the information he was looking for. although he did get an instruction that would lead to the true end of the order, he never got see it happen.
Uzo went ahead to live a prosperous life and have prosperous family till the day he accepted the embrace of death. but long before that, he became the first 'Dibia' and represented the gods.
Under the instruction of the gods, Uzo sent his second son who would become the next Dibia on a mission to retrieve Amadioha's thunder in order to thank him properly.
from the long line of second sons, none of the Dibia completed their mission. It wasn't because they couldn't but it was because they would rather not. but the gods kept telling them to pass on the mission to the next Dibia in order to achieve their true mission which only the gods knew.

SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD Before we go on
as we have come this far with the story, there is something that I have felt the need to do. you surely have noticed that some of the words I use are not common or do not exist in the English dictionary. well that's because they're not English (obviously). one could check on G****e or use any other translation software but you might be led astray. not because the translation is wrong (it is sometimes) but because one word could mean different things and most translations don't take metaphor into account. what I'll be doing isn't translations. but rather, I'll be trying to let you see the meaning of those words from my own perspective. I won't be explaining much unless I feel it's necessary. so without further ado, let's get into it. FUBUKI: this this is Japanese word for snowstorm. in this story it is used as Natsumi's surname and it is also the name of the island most of the story's events take place.

SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD destination unknown
For days, the lightning walked past countless villages, scaled many mountains and crossed hundreds of rivers. he didn't know why he saved Uzo's life, he didn't know why he left the forest, he didn't know where he was going, he didn't even know who he was. all he knew was that he was going in the direction of where he should be. hunger and thirst could not stop him, neither could the dangers that lurked in the dark. there was nothing on his mind other than the direction he needed to go. this continued until he arrived at beach and couldn't go further. he was sure that he wasn't in the place he was meant to be but he could no longer tell which direction to go. as he contemplated his next decision, he laid on the sand and fell into a deep slumber. he slept for hours until he was finally woken up by the waves that crashed into him and after that a great amount of pain came upon his stomach. he soon noticed that it was hunger but he had nothing to eat so he had to bear it. n
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD Home
Mina's agony was apparent. the tears that fell down her cheeks were filled with great sadness. on the other hand, Yen was sure that he had arrived in his destination, the problem was to do when he got there. he was aware of Mina's pain but he didn't know what to do about it, and before he could do anything he was distracted by a loud voice that said "we have you surrounded. come out with your hands in the air" on hearing the voice, Mina's sadness immediately switched to anger. "I want those bastards dead" she said as she reached for her crossbow and got ready for battle. then she looked outside and saw the great number that she was up against. it was like a welcoming party of death. each one of them looked dangerous and hard to deal with and Mina immediately realized how irrational her decision was and crawled to the part of the deck that couldn't be seen from outside. "don't listen to them" she said, looking at Yen "It doesn't matter what we do, they're still going to ki

the walls stood tall, the gates shone like the morning sun, but what surprised Mina the was the fact that Yen called it his new home. "What do you mean?" she asked "how can you be so sure?" she added. and Yen replied "I don't know, but I have this great feeling that I'll spend most of my days here" "there are a lot of things I do without fully understanding them" he added "this is one of them" he said as he threw a lightning bolt at the gate forcing it open. Mina's expectation was for a large number of armed guards to immediately rush out and face them, but the actual response was quite calm. the gate opened and a single person came from within. a Middle aged man stood in front of Yen and Mina asking the questions "who are you? and what is your aim here?" "I'm a traveller." Yen answered "and I need a place to stay" he added "so you are the intruders H.Q was talking about" the man said as his already angry looking face began to look angrier. "how did
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD Queen of the fortress
after a few minutes of walking through tall storage buildings, they finally they finally came to a wide open space in the middle of the city. there were a few residential buildings around (mostly mansions) and at the centre, a tower stood. the tower was taller than every other building in the city and it had an architectural style that made it unique from the times. Inumaki led them to the largest and most beautiful mansion of all. and at the entrance, they were stopped. "do not proceed any further" a voice came from inside and four young men darted out ready for battle. they all had that serious look as if it was their first time having to defend the mansion. "these guys are definitely noobs" Mina whispered. "it's quite apparent" Yen whispered back. taking a deep breath, Inumaki said as calmly as he could "let us in, we have a message for the queen." but the answer was "no" "we know that you were defeated by that man" one of the young men said pointing at Yen.

"why are you defying your queen?" she yelled in desperate anger. "it is your duty to protect me, why are you refusing to do that?" "I'm not abandoning my duty" Yamato replied. "I'm just choosing to not senselessly attack a man that can end me when he just wants to talk" "so mother, if we don't to listen to him right now, we will be doing so in a charred state." "my refusal is for your own safety" meanwhile Mina was wondering "he's her son right?" and Inumaki answered her "they're all her sons, all four of them" "isn't she supposed to protect them?,not the other way round?" Mina asked, and it became clear to her that no one there understood how family works because Inumaki didn't have an answer to her question. "what of the father?" she asked, and Inumaki answered "he is no longer with us" and Mina sighed and said out loud in frustration "these guys are bred like ants" and everyone heard it. the one who took offence to the comment was none other than the
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD The O.Gs
as they all stood in a daze watching the missiles fly through the air, Yen thought to himself "before my descent, I heard a name called out loudly. I believe it to be the name of my father, the one who made me and has been directing my path. I believe to be a name that is called in the time of need. and I believe it is the name I should call now" and with all the power in his breath, he yelled "AMADIOHA!!!" and from the clear afternoon sky, lightning fell into his right hand which he had raised up and it was overflowing with energy. he swung the hand forward and a huge amount of lightning came out and formed a blanket above all of the villages, causing all the missiles to explode midair. it was a sight to behold. everyone that saw it stood in awe, not just at the power but also at the beauty. it was truly magnificent. after being amazed, Mina and the others made their way to the nearest village to try and warn them about the coming dangers and to also convince them to make t
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD When the rose blooms
the speech was a success. Mina took advantage of the fact that most of villagers were young people that didn't have a solidified belief in the words of the order. by Mina's intuition, it was speculated that the reason why there weren't any actual elders in the villages was because of the wisdom and influence that came with age. If an elder questioned the order of things, a lot of young people would join him in it. so it was very possible that the elders were replaced with well programmed androids because if the elders didn't question, the young ones wouldn't be motivated to do so. and according to Mina's experience in her travels, the process of replacing elders would have continued until elders didn't need to be replaced and everyone followed the words of the order as if it was ingrained in them by nature. Uzo's village was an example of a huge success. every of the order's will was done naturally by the people. only the order knew how long it took them achieve that but one thi

Burn out
As soon as Ellie noticed there was something wrong with Orie, she signaled her crew to turn off their cameras. He had been mumbling for a while but soon the mumbling intensified. His eyes were heavy, his voice was inaudible, he could feel his consciousness fading but he kept on praying.He had thought that he had enough strength to keep up the prayer but his condition was worse than he had thought it was."I'm sorry" he said as he fell to his knees and went silent.As the paramedics were rushing to take Orie away the thing that he was trying to keep under control broke free and took over Natsumi.Kaen tried to call back his flames but they were sniffed out as soon as they came in. The mist was thick, it was cold and he could barely see what was in front of him. Icicles were coming at him from different angles and he could hardly evade any of them.He saw himself at a dead end. He could not see anything he could do that would cause him to win the match. He was tired, bleeding, aching a
Keeping cool
"Who should I fear more?" Kaen wondered"Is it the monster that makes me shudder""Or is it the vessel that contains it?"As Kaen prepared to engage his opponent, all that he could think of was the fear that he felt. He could not forget it.Not many remember it but there was once a great incident that took place in Fubuki island. It was an incident that almost claimed the lives of all who lived on the island.A great frost, so cold that no flame could resist, quickly spreading and freezing everything in its path. In the dark winter night when many slept, this frost came along to take their breath.Somehow, everyone woke up in their beds the next morning with no recollection of the past twelve hours. This event sparked many rumors and among them was the rumour that the residents died and were brought back, proponents of this rumor backed their claims by speculating a tragic event within the twelve hours period.That night came to be known as the night where men slept.

"THE SIGNS DO NOT LIETHE TRUTH WILL NOT DIEAS TIME WILL GO BYWE WILL SAY OUR GOODBYESFOR THE TRUE PRIEST TO BE BORNTHE FALSE GODS WILL ALL DIE"Orie heard these words just before he woke up. He looked around in confusion, trying to figure out where he was. The last thing he could remember was that he was surrounded by dust in the arena.He looked at the nurse who seemed surprised for a reason and asked "how long have I been here?""F... Four days" the nurse answered nervously and Orie remain silent"We thought you were dead" she added"Who won?" Orie asked"What?" The nurse replied, still shaken up"My fight" Orie rephrased"Who won?""Well..." The nurse replied"The other guy was disqualified so...""... I guess you won""Oh" Orie said as he tried to get off from the bed but the but the nurse immediately moved to stop him."You just woke up sir" she said"We can't let you walk around till we know for sure that you're okay""I'm okay" Orie replied as he got down from the bed but
Still standing
Of the expectations that the people had, no one expected that a majority of the spectators would be okay with the outcome of the fight. They were sure that what they saw was real, they were sure that what they saw was fair, they were sure that the contestants gave it their all and they were sure that the winner deserved his victory.Even those who didn't support him in the beginning were cheering for him with all their heart, even those who lost their bets because of him rejoiced at the sight.There were many good fighters in the tournament, many who at the wave of their hands would cause marvelous sights but of all the fights in the tournament, Orie had shown them most invigorating.The cheers went on for a while until people in the crowd began to notice that the referee was yet to formally declare a winner. Soon they noticed that orie had not made a single movement since the clearing of the dust, he was still standing but he could not move.Though one person was on the floor while t
The bird and the beast
From within the circle came forth a huge bird of prey; a hawk. It appeard to be fully covered in silver. Just by looking at it, one could tell that its beak was harder than a rock and that its claws were as sharp as blades, even its wings didn't seem flying was all they could do. At this point in the battle where pride was being cast aside, the same thought ran through the minds of everyone watching. "NOW THE REAL FIGHT BEGINS" "Go" at this command from Chris, the bird threw itself at Orie with incredible speed. Orie evaded the bird without problem but what came next was quite challenging. After evading an attack from above he found himself facing one from below. Not many can escape such attacks from Chris. He would use the bird to make his opponents dodge in a certain manner, then he would go in for the real attack when their balance had been compromised. It was quite an effective move, but just not for Orie. "How is this possible?" Chris thought to himself as h
The market day
"This is my day" "This is my day" "This is my day" It kept repeating but Natsumi could not understand what it meant" "This is my day" She knew she had forgotten something "This is my day" She was sure she had forgotten something "This is my day" Something that would help her discern the situation. "This is my day" It stopped as soon as she realized what it meant. She remembered that when she thought it was Orie's birthday, he had told her these words. She remembered how he told her of the four market days of his tribe and that he shared his name with one of them. She remembered that he told her how the days affected his power, and this made her the least surprised person among the audience when Orie got back up on his feet. "WHAT... THE... F***!!!!?" Ellie screamed at the camera "How much blood does this guy have?" "He's lost so much yet he is still standing" "What kind of immortal dragon sh** is this" "This is not easy to believ
Silver blade
Chris Vanadium. The only reason he didn't make it to the finals as much as Cal was that he faced Waramaki in most of the semifinals. He is one of the few people that have been able to beat Cal in the previous tournaments. He is also a one time champion and the one he beat to earn that title was none other than Fuji Waramaki. There were many reasons to fear him, but most feared attribute of his was the speed of his blade. Yes, he fights with a sword and he is really good with it; so good that a large percentage of his matches end in less than a minute. Anyone that saw his previous match was immediately reminded of how dangerous he was, even some that had faith in Orie in the previous match lost it for this one. To sum things up on how dangerous he was, the chance of him making it to the final match of the current tournament was ninety-nine percent. Though Orie's match was the first of round one, in round two, his match was the third. Not many had high hopes for this match beca
The doubt of many
There was complete silence in all parts of the stadium. It wasn't that people had nothing to say but what could they say that could explain what just happened before their eyes? They just watched as the referee ran in to confirm the outcome. It took longer than usual as the referee also had his doubts but in the end he had no choice but to declare Cal unable to continue. The silence broke immediately he stood up to declare Orie the winner. The doubt of many began to flow out in words. "IT'S A LIE!!" "THIS IS BULLSHIT!!" "THIS GAME IS RIGGED!!" There was no word of doubt that was not spoken at that moment. Even when the medics came out to put Cal on a stretcher, people still thought it was an act. What could Orie do? He had just won a match and no one believed it. There was hardly anyone cheering for him, all the loud voices expressed nothing but doubt, hate, and disbelief. Despite all the hate he was getting, he just cracked a smile and walked out of the arena
Fight like me
You never truly appreciate a miracle unless you heard of it before it happened. That moment when the thing you thought was just too impossible begins to unfold before you for the very first time. There is no look more precious than that of one who has had such experience. Miracles happen only once. After that, it becomes a possibility. Cal and Orie were initially rated on a seven to one ratio. This meant that the officials of this tournament believed that Cal was at least seven times more powe6r than Orie and seven times more likely to win. At the current time the ratio had become ten to one. It seemed hopeless for the few that had put their faith in Orie. The match wasn't over but the situation made them feel the winner was already decided. "What is he doing in there?" "Does he have a death wish?" "Just give up already!!"even some of those that were on his opponent's side felt pity for him but Orie was not one to dwell on pity. He could not hear their words, al
