It was around evening time when everyone showed up after being summoned by me. When I entered a room, there were many unknown people in the room, with only 4-5 that I had already known from my previous visit and stay in this village. The elder made a hierarchical system to govern the inflow of people.

Salim: Welcome! The reason I summoned everyone here is to set some ground work for the rapidly developing village.

Some of the strangers began to mumble between themselves and one of them who I had not yet met said out loud.

Stranger: Who are you to summon people such as us?

Salim: I am your Emperor!

Stranger: I am not going to listen to this ignorant brat. Who thinks he’s an Emperor.

Elder Fin: But he is the Emperor.

Stranger: Senile old fool, he can’t be and I won't ever listen to him.

Salim: I suggest you at least apologize to Elder Fin. I will give you 5 seconds.

Stranger: OR WHAT?

Salim: Let me all introduce a very important being who will punish you for every deed you do wrong. Her name is Sally. Sally, would you please take a form so that everyone can see you.

The life like illusion appeared in front of everyone. It was that of a beautiful girl.

Sally: Hello Everyone. I am an Artificial Intelligence that governs the New Trinpik Tower.

Salim: Sally, what will you do when you have ignorant people such as this insulting stranger who has no respect towards elders.

Sally: With the given parameters by you, Salim, I cannot kill him. However, if you would like I can put him on an uninhabited island.

Salim: No, that won't do. However, let’s bring his ego down a bit. Strip him to his underpants and fly him around the town for a bit.

Sally: Easy enough.

The strangers staring at all of the things happening, suddenly realized his clothes down to his underpants tore and he was nearly naked as he began to fly out of the house and across the town.

Salim: Don’t bring him back here Sally and drop him off at some other Empires doorsteps.

Everyone else at the meeting never objected after that incident, it showed who’s really in charge. The meeting continued until morning. Different rules and regulations were decided upon. In the end we came up with a system that would properly govern this world.

A three-ring system, where Sally is the OVERSEER OF EQUALITY amongst everyone, then Elder who was chosen by the people, was in charge of LEGAL MATTERS and finally the person chosen by chance THE PROTECTOR. The term for their position would be different. Sally was the constant, Elder was appointed for 20 years and the person who was chosen at random had 10 years in position.

All of them could be re elected earlier if ever there was a death of one of the members. I, as the Emperor, would not meddle in their affairs as the supreme ruler unless I deemed it absolutely necessary or if they became corrupt, since I had more important things to worry about than just this world.

For starters, Elder Fin would be the Elder who was already appointed by the people to be the Elder. The Random seat would be chose across the entire world with a restriction on a minimum age of being at least 22 years old, and be a person who would want to protect everyone and despise wars.

The way the random seat would be chosen was by, the use of the towers ability to pinpoint people all over the world, although that was as much as the tower would do. It would then make dots on a globe the size of a human, which then was spun in any direction by a random person. Then Elder of the town would be blindfolded in the presence of the village leaders and anyone who wants to see this ceremony can, for fairness purposes. The blindfolded Elder would take a needle and stick it into the globe and at that time the tower would pick up the person that was at that given place at that moment, if no one was there then the nearest person/ being to that location.

There had to be a 100% agreement between the three leaders in order for a major decision to occur, like waging war. However, saving a life did not need the consensus of all three leaders, just one was enough.

So we asked Sally to create a world like globe almost 2 meters in diameter. It appeared right before us and even had every single detail on it. We then blindfolded the Elder and spun the world that floated in front of us. Naturally, it would probably spin forever however we all agreed to add around 5 mph wind resistance in the opposite until the globe stopped. The globe would be spun in any direction desired: north – south, east – west, etc. After the Globe was spun and had stopped the Elder was then told to place the needle. As the needle was placed, Sally acted accordingly.

Salim: Sally! Take any means to transport the target to this location safely and willingly. He may stay there if he wishes. Take form and approach the person. Tell him you need his help and ask if he is willing to help. If he refuses immediately go on to the next closes person/ being. However, tell them that you only have a few silver coins to pay them. If they agree make sure you first travel around 5 kilometers to confirm their intentions. When they accompany you for 5 kilometers find a private area and tell them what has transpired and offer them the position of one of the leaders of the World.

Sally: I will then begin immediately. I have to note that there is what seems like a large-scale battle going on in that area. What would you like me to do?

Salim: Man. Well drastic measures do need to be taken sometimes. So make 3 meter tall Golems and stop the battle. Protect the candidate and ask him what he would like the outcome of that battle to be. If he says he wants peace and end of fighting then he will be the leader.

Sally: I have constructed 15, three-meter tall golems with swords 2 meters long.

----------- The Battlefield ----------

As I was catching my breath while standing in a circle of my dead friends and family, there were about 400 of us completely surrounded by enemy forces. As I stood there I, in my mind, was also battling with myself. “This is it. This is the end for me. I am going to die. Our side is at a big disadvantage and we are losing. I wonder what will happen next. We are completely surrounded. There is nowhere to run. We have already lost our leaders. Everyone is in despair. I know only a miracle could save us. Why? Why? Why did they attack us? What did we ever do to them?”

:gyaha:

Enemy Captain: Listen you lot. We said before the fight ever began. We want you to be our slaves. Either you come willingly or we will destroy you all. So I want to extend one last opportunity to you all. Will you give in to our demands or will you face annihilation? We have killed roughly 1.5 people already. Do you want to also die?

There was silence. After about 30 minutes the Enemy Captain came forward again and saw that no one wavered, ordered our complete annihilation. As the enemy charged at us at that moment the ground shook and in between us and the enemy rose 15 golems around 3 meters tall. With different types of weapons that are roughly 2 meters long.

Hope and even more despair filled our eyes. I did not know if they were enemy golems or what. However, we watched in anticipation for a quick death or salvation.

Enemy Captain: Destroy them with magic, hurry!

When we heard him yell that, hope filled the air around us. It would seem like it was possible to defeat the enemy.

As the magic came down upon the golems, fire, water and other elements, the magic was being completely absorbed by them. The attacks still continued without stop. Then the golems began to strike upon the enemy. Hundreds were flown into the air as the golems struck with their swords. The slaughter to the enemy continued roughly for 1 hour until the retreat sound was heard. However, now there stood 5 golems that were around us and the other 10 golems all completely unscathed that started to run as the ground shook and surrounded all of the enemy soldiers from escaping. All of the enemy forces now fell into despair and all of the golems yelled.

Golems: EVERYONE!!!! DROP YOUR WEAPONS AND CEASE YOUR HOSTILITY.

It was completely in unison. Amazement filled my eyes. As soon as everyone, including us, dropped our weapons one of the golems started to approach me.

The golem then pointed a figure at me.

Golem: Young man, what is your name?

:noei:

I think he is going to kill me for sure.

Me: I, I, I, I, I, I (stutter) ammmm caaaalleeeed Leeeeeo.

Golem: Leo! What would you like to do with the enemy?

Leo: I don't know. I don't want any more bloodshed. I want to put a stop to slavery and free all the enslaved.

Golem: I have deemed your request noble. This will be done as you wish. Just one more question though, will you lead the free people or even other people?

Leo: If that’s what it takes I will.

Golem: Then it is agreed.

The golems then rounded up the enemy in cages that appeared out of the ground as if they were summoned. I got stormed with question from my friends. Who are these? Why do they talk to you and not us? Why? Why? Why? One of the older people told everyone to cease their question since I myself didn't know. Then again straight out of the ground a girls shape came out just like golems although she was as tall as me and approached our group.

Sally: Hello Leo. I am glad you chose to be the leader. I was sent here to explain the situation to you further. I am one of the leaders of Trinpik Empire. You are also one of those leaders now. The other one is Elder Fin who is currently at Trinpik. Elder Fin, you and I will be the ones guiding this world to a better path from this point on. You will be one of the leaders for the next 10 years. So you can offer the survivors and the now free people that have been release from captivity, a new home or you can also rebuild here if you would like.

Leo: Why me?

Sally: It is a system that is part of our Empire to choose a random individual and as luck would have it. You are that random person chosen to lead. So you may choose to make a living anywhere you want with your people.

Leo: How far is the kingdom that you are from?

As a globe rose from the ground it floated and details appeared on it.

Sally: We are currently standing right here and the empire is right over here.

As I looked at the globe I could make out major empires and kingdoms.

Leo: You are nearly ¼ of the planet away? How are you able to have influence all the way here? I have seen the range of towers and none have this type of reach.

Sally: Oh that. Well to be exact I am that tower's intelligence system. I was built roughly a day ago. As we speak, Emperor Salim is setting the groundwork for this newly made Empire. The tower actually completely covers the Earth. So the reach is unlimited around the globe.

Leo: Are there battles like this one going on right now?

Sally: Quite a few actually.

Leo: Could you stop them all?

Sally: Yes. Do you want me to?

Leo: Yes and please hurry.

Sally: Easy enough and Done. I made 15 golems just like the ones you see here at every battlefield around the globe. What would you like me to do at those battlefields? Will you determine the victor?

Leo: No, no. No victor. Make them all go home and cease hostility.

Sally: If they don't listen then what?

Leo: Force them. Use cages such as these.

Sally: Will do. Now back to the topic are you going to rebuild or move to the empire?

Leo: I would like to rebuild what the armies have destroyed. We live 3 kilometers away from here. They burned everything down.

Sally: I see. Very well then, I will leave you to guide your people and I left you a little present for when you return back to the village. One thing you should know, you now have the authority to command the elements under the tower's control to help you.

Leo: I can command elements?

Sally: Yes. In fact I am going to make an illusionary birdy that everyone will see including you, which you can command as you wish. The Emperor will be going to create something soon so the likelihood that you’ll meet him soon is slim.

As the remaining survivors, including me, came back to the village I saw it was burnt completely to the ground. We all gathered in the center of the town to decide what we were going to do. After a short discussion everyone decided on rebuilding. As soon as the decision to rebuild was made, the ground began to shake. We saw the old and ruined building being torn apart further, as it began stockpiling right outside of town as if making a huge bonfire. Then stones and wood flew in all from different directions, whole trees were being trimmed with sharp stones into planks and other shapes. It was not long however, before we stood at the center of town to see our homes rebuilt and even to a degree that made it look like nobles homes. Everything was rebuilt with more space in-between each lot. It made the village expand by nearly 200 meters. Each house was now at least two stories. With the town hall a single story which was as tall as 2 stories. The only other building was a 4-story inn that now stood in the center of the town. The illusionary birdy sat on my shoulders the entire time. Then it spoke.

Birdy: This is my present to you. Also where would you like to live?

Leo: Anywhere is fine.

Birdy: That won’t do you are the leader of Trinpik after all. Here this will be for you.

Immediately, more stones flew through the sky making it seems like night. However, the new light poles all over the village illuminating everything. Then we saw a huge Castle being made as we watched. Everything including the castle was built within 4 hours. It was a sight to see. Everyone, in amazement, looked and even noticed that there were now golems that were 2 meters tall around the entire tower just standing there. A few seemed to patrol the perimeter of the town itself. Everyone was dazzled in disbelief that such an event occurred in front of them.

Villagers: Why is everything happening like this? We were about to be annihilated.

Birdy: It seems luck is on your side. At the time of your battle it was literally pinpointed on Leo as one of the Leaders of Trinpik. Trinpik is a new Empire however its reach extends to and covers the entire planet. So the Leo you now know is actually one of the leaders of this new World.

We then went about to pick the houses we wanted to live in. Since currently everyone agreed that, the castle was indeed only built for me as its owner, since the golems did not let anyone else in except me and people whom I'd permitted to come along. I then told everyone that I was not going to be their leader but a friend. For everyone else who would come to live in the village they would then have to see me as the leader of the village or town at that point. No one objected and agreed to the terms. There were many empty homes and we agreed to give them to new settlers that would come to this town.

As I lay in my new bed in the castle I could hear how quiet it was and then it hit me, we still needed to bury our dead and mourn them. Well I guess that will come tomorrow.

************** Back at Trinpik Village **************

Sally: The new leader's name is Leo. He didn't say his last name. He has stopped the war and even spared the enemies' lives. He is worthy to be a leader. He also stayed behind to help the villagers. They do live on the other side of this world, even if he wanted to come here with no way to teleport him here it would take him years, even with my help.

Salim: Well done. It is settled then. I did my part and now leave everything to the new leaders of this town. One last thing Sally, the wizard that is working at the tower, I truly forgot his name already, help him out; he wants to develop that teleportation network.

Sally: I will do as you say.

Salim: Well I have to go and I will leave everything in your hands Elder Fin, Sally and that new leader Leo. I promised a certain Emperor a visit if he ever abused his power. So do not worry about Azitium Kingdom. I will take care of it. Farewell.

Elder Fin: Hope to see you soon, and are you taking anyone with you?

Salim: Everyone has free will after all, and there are few that can keep up with me.

Sally: Salim, before you go. I feel some being ripping this planet apart. I don't know how to describe it but it would seem the things it digs up and eats are completely disappearing. As if its mouth is a portal to some other place.

Salim: How big is it and where is it?

Sally: It's the size of a dog and it's currently at the South Pole.

Salim: I guess I'll go there after my brief visit to the Azitium Empire. I'm off.

My journey had started again. It was as if a new sun rose into the sky. Fricks joined me and I sat in my carriage, the one I was awarded with and rode of towards Azitium with Fricks lounging on the roof. Even Sally decided to accompany us in her new found form. It was made up of thick mist but looked very life like.

(This chapter I decided to experiment and see how many readers prefer this method to the ones I used earlier with pictures and stuff like that.)
