For some time, the desolate Wasteland Valley, became an ocean of claps. This speech was an important one for the people, they needed hope, they needed a symbol, they needed... a leader. Alfonso knew a lot of speechless, as a historian he had studied the most important speechless through history. Alfonso knew that he needed a speech that will give hope in despair situation, that's why he used the speech of Gettysburg of Abraham Lincoln.

After everyone in the town was tired of clapping, Alfonso command to everyone to stay in the commoners' zone, this time, they seem more willing to follow the orders of Alfonso, so they quietly stay there, the people who lived in the agriculture zone stay in a house that was made for storing the food, it was huge, so everyone could fit.

Alfonso with Artemis and Ribeiro didn't return to the manor but stay in the main plaza, he was tired so needed some rest, Artemis stay quietly by the side of Alfonso, looking at him.

"Quiet the speech you give there, I must Said that maybe you were born for being a leader" Said Artemis with a calm tone.

"Well, they need it. If history has taught me something is that in time of despair, the common people are the one who suffers the most, that's why, they tend to find someone who can give them a glimmer of hope, that's why a lot of people through history had taken advantage of this fact, they take despair as a ladder, so they can climb to power, once in there, they forget about the people who make them get there, that kind of people are called dictators, however, there is always two side of history, if dictators existed, then their opposite also exist, people who put aside their own benefits and lead humanity to a new era, people who could move the masses and transcend, people who will forever be remembered as role models, they were minority thought." Said Alfonso.

"Hoh? And then? What are they called?" Asked Artemis.

"They have a lot of names, some people called then Leaders… other idealist…. Even some people called them stupid, however, I prefer another term for people like them" Said Alfonso.

"And that term is?"

Alfonso stay quiet for some time, after that, he made a light smile and then stood up and look at the Jubila Forest from his platform.

"Someday, you will realize it yourself, as for me, I still don't know if is the correct answer, so, for now, I will not say it. In my original home, I couldn't find an answer, maybe in this world, I can" Said Alfonso.

Artemis just stay quiet and didn't insist on the topic, however, she was very curious, what was Alfonso's answer?

"Let's go back to the manor, tomorrow, we have a big day" Said Alfonso while going down and making his way back, Artemis did so as well.

Alfonso and Artemis had a quiet dinner, neither of them talked. Artemis went back to her room and Alfonso went to his. It was a quiet night with a full moon, beautiful night indeed. Alfonso was reading calmly the agriculture book, he was not sleepy yet, so he thought about killing sometime. It was midnight when Alfonso closed the book and decided to sleep, just as he was about to change his clothes, he took one last look at Wasteland Valley.

"Maybe I am not so passionate as people believe with this land, however….. I am starting to like this dead land, its strange thought, when I was on earth, I travel a lot…. I didn't have a place to called home, the world was my home, but….. This is not bad either" Said Alfonso while looking at the moon at the sky.

At that moment…. Something changed…. Alfonso was about to close the window when something catch his attention….. He wasn't so sure either, so he kept looking, at the agriculture zone… something seems off. When Alfonso looked with detail, something entered his sight.

A flame!

A flame began to appear in one the points where he puts the sentinels!

"You gotta be kidding me" Thought Alfonso.

While he was astonished, someone came rushing to his room, It was Artemis. Floating beside her were little blue, little red and little blacky, who were chirping without stop.

"Alfonso!" Said Artemis.

"Tell little blue and little red to bring Ribeiro, Deferio and the soldiers must have seemed the flame and are on their way, we need to hurry as well!" Said Alfonso while grabbing his cane.

It was here

The horde has arrived.
