In the Recorded Pages of True History, the disappearance of Kyros began to sow seeds of worry in everyone. Everyone paused their adventures as the disappearance of Kyros was also followed by the disappearance of two prestigious people.
Lea Olethros, Grendelor Princess of the Netherlands, and Listrel Protos Endoxos, Princess of the Planesworld, disappeared.
The retainers of Listrel witnessed the disappearance as they felt a strange power that ripped through the earth and space itself.
Both the High Lands and the Netherlands were in upheaval at the confird disappearances of both forces.
The Netherlands had actually lost their daughter earlier. But they kept silent as the life talisman of Lea had shattered. They could not use her disappearance as an excuse as the one who was reported to cause it was Listrel herself. But now, even Listrel had disappeared, and the life talisman of Lea shattered.
This was grounds enough for the Highlands and the Netherlands to send their strongest warriors to travel the vast space and appear in the Lowlands.
A war between the two forces began, but the battleground was the Lowlands.
As for the Nephilim's army, they could not complete any of their plans due to the mobilization of the teams and the change in the terrain. It was common for the Planesworld to have portals leading to other realms. There were several hundred of them. But now, Middle has beco the sole obsession of both forces, and their warriors were gathering in Airom.
The war against the Lizard races forced the entire land of Middle to a montary ceasefire as several powerful people had arrived to search for their Princess. Both the High Lands and the Netherlands demanded to send their teams to explore the Lowlands. The rules had forbidden both from sending teams of stronger power least the war would escalate quickly.
But eventually, it was decided that Cardinals would be sent to search for the missing princesses in Middle.
The arrival of a Cardinal in Middle brought fear to the many different races and forces inside. The arrival triggered a ceasefire for all races, and no kingdom dared to fight each other. The Cardinals from the Netherlands and the High Lands requested details from kingdoms, and all willingly gave their information, knowing that lies would lead to extermination.
The sudden loss of Kyros forced an ergency eting where everyone was forced to travel back into the Temple. The power of Dark Link was lost, and aside from a few ssage talismans, the group had no ans to communicate. And so, a regroup was necessary.
Days passed, and eventually, the group was able to move into Middle and gather at the Temple of the Nephilim.
The Steele Family, the Coven, the Emberdons, the rest of the official knights and mbers of the Steele family, and the newly recruited allies and leaders of each team were there.
"It seems that what Kyros feared has co true. And it's amazing how Destiny has orchestrated it to occur at such a quick pace." zal chuckled as the group gathered.
"Indeed."
"Am I the only one who is worried?! We have to find him!" Scarlet shouted angrily.
"You're just worried since he's with two frighteningly beautiful won." Martha laughed.
"A fault of your own doing." Aron reminded.
"Fate tricked ! But we have to do sothing! Not even the Temple can sense him!"
"Of course, it can't. We had a ti-traveling trip to Middle, which is not within the tiline! Kyros must have gone to a place like that!" Branze answered.
"Scarlet, I know you are worried. But it's Kyros! He calls her mother, and he exemplifies the very honor that and Branze desire for him to have. His word is his bond. If you're worried that your plan to claim his heart backfired, I will tell you to know that it won't be as terrifying as you think. His love for chiel isn't as fragile as you think it is." Diana added.
"Indeed. The bonds and powers that connected my wife to were hidden in him. Through Mysterion, Gennaios Steel and Katara Kyriachos have beco one. That bond is also in him. If anything, your plans could work as exposure, and close kinship with all those girls could help you claim his heart." Branze added.
"Or, he could go my route and get all of you girls for himself." zal chuckled.
SLASH! SLASH!
DING!
Two slashes suddenly erupted out, but a massive shield appeared over zal.
"Put your soul into it, kids! Otherwise, your True Cut won't even leave a scratch at it." zal laughed.
Branze and Aron glared at their father.
"Lucky Lord Kyros. I wonder how many girls he would end up with." Avary laughed.
"Hmm... I think Lord Calaminus was here, he would say sothing like..."
"This isn't that kind of novel." All the Steele family chorused.
Everyone began to nod and sohow felt the strange powers of Calaminus.
"A-anyway, before we start saying weird stuff, we have to talk about what happened. The effects of their disappearances are a little troubleso." zal laughed.
"A little? Father, our plans to take over kingdoms are ruined because of the appearance of these Cardinals. Wars are stopped. Traveling from one place to the other is even more difficult! Look how long it took us even to regroup here!" Aron frowned.
"It's a little because the answer is quite simple." Branze began.
"They sent Cardinals. Our goal is to simply cause the High Lands and the Netherlands to move away from here so that things will go back to the way it was before. And it just so happens. We do have it!" Branze explained.
"What?"
"A level ninety golem. Petra."
"Are we going to have Petra kill those Cardinals?"
"No! But we can scare them. If we lure those Cardinals back to the Golem City, and Petra appears, we can make Petra explain to these Cardinals what happened and how those two princesses are alive but were flung to another world. There are nurous portals that connect the Planesworld to other worlds. Both teams will be invested in that, and with a Celestial appearing in Middle, the two sides would think twice in sending forces here."
"Branze is right. That should do the trick. And after that, we should have the freedom to do our previous plans and take over various Lowland kingdoms to fight against the orcs. We just have to follow what we were ordered to and to grow stronger as we do that!"
"Then, I would like to propose a change to the orders Lord Kyros gave ." Hunter began.
Everyone listened to him.
"I heard the lands of the undead received trendous losses. Lea appeared and devoured a lot of their strongest heroes and disappeared, leaving them weak. I wish to conquer that first."
"Why?" Martha asked.
"There was a wish, a hope, and a question that I have always asked Fate. And now, I could finally see the answer. I want to resurrect Hemsey. There is a way that is open to the north!" Hunter declared.
"In the undead lands lies a key to saving my brother from the hands of death!"
Back in the world of the Unrecorded Pages...
The march of Kyros and the Liberation army continued.
They continued to move east and conquered more Brimstone Beast. A supply chain was made, and the rocs of Castle Rock proved to be useful beasts that transported objects back and forth.
With food and a supply of resources now possible, the Liberation Army marched bravely with enough ammunition to face the next threats.
Kyros and the team continued to fight at the front lines.
All of a sudden, Kyros gazed to the distance and cursed.
"We have to hurry up! Otherwise, the kingdom ahead will fall!" Kyros suddenly declared.
"What happened?" Listrel asked.
"Histerion. His back. And I feel that the armies he has ready will be three tis more terrifying than what we saw before!"
On the vast water kingdom of the reptiles, the king watched as the water was slowly drying up. The power of Brimstone had increased, and everyone could feel the heat.
In that water kingdom was a young man who gazed helplessly. He was brought here and served the king, for he was the only known cause of a brimstone beast to have suddenly turned back to a man!
"To think I awoke from my Brimstone form to only be killed by Brimstone." The young man sighed.
