After the events of the valley city's destruction and the multiple kingdoms destroyed single handedly by king Reinlas the magic had gotten to him and knocked him out until the next day where he woke with massive headache and a pain in his soul as he remembers the events of the previous day.

"Dammit Farenhale why didn't you just leave the city?" Reinlas asks himself

Laraka knocks on the door.

"My king are you alright?" Laraka asks

"No, no where close" Reinlas says sorrowful

Kylorn flies out of his scabbard.

"Do you remember what happened Reinlas?" Kylorn asks him

"Only seeing Farenhales body without the illusion magic before it all went dark" Reinlas says

"We destroyed four kingdoms" Kylorn says

"Fucking what?" Reinlas asks

"Some kind of magic took over both of us or more accurately it took over you then me through you and everyone responsible in those kingdoms for the valley city massacre where destroyed by shadow creatures of their own nightmares" Kylorn says

"What the fuck? why don't I remember this?" Reinlas asks

"My guess? The magic is which took over you also put too much strain on your mind, body and soul and after it knocked you out it erased your memory of the destruction" Kylorn says

"But not of what caused it..." Reinlas says getting up putting his armour on

He opens his room door and walks to the throne room with laraka after kylorn goes back in his scabbard, when they reach the throne room which felt like a marathon for Reinlas's body even though it was just a few doors down they see Linra. Linra looks over and teleports over hugging Reinlas.

"Are you alright my love?" Linra asks concerned

"I am fine, do not worry" Reinlas says with a smile

"I'm glad your alright Reinlas" Linra says joyful though she is incredibly sad because of what happened yesterday

"Whats been going on?" Reinlas asks as he hugs her back but also knows the kingdom is likely freaking out

"The people are panicking and looking to us for direction but you were unconscious so I had to step in to weather the storm till you woke and a decision could be made" Linra says

"What has been done about the dead in the valley city?" Reinlas asks

"We sent part of the army with people to the city to get the dead and have them buried there has been no attack as of yet due to well..." Linra says

"What I did" Reinlas says

"Yes" Linra says

"What of farenhale?" Reinlas asks

"His body was the first to be brought back for burial in the royal tomb but his funeral hasn't been done yet as rightly you should be there" Linra says

"Right..." Reinlas says

"On a lighter note people from those kingdoms you destroyed have come here for protection from 'The King of Shadows' as they referred to you as" Linra says

"Such a weird name" Reinlas says

"Given what you became its rather fitting" Linra says

"Became?" Reinlas asks

Linra uses her magic to show Reinlas as the shadow he became from what Laraka showed her.

"By the rest of the first..." Reinlas says astonished

"It is an interesting yet terrifying sight, are you sure you are alright Reinlas?" Linra says putting her hand on the side off his face

Reinlas sighs and sits on his throne.

"In truth no, my body feels weighed down, destroyed by magic I'm still recovering and dont even have any magic currently" Reinlas says

"Did you lose your magic?" Linra says concerned

"I dont believe so but the pain in my soul is extreme and I cant even use healing magic on myself or even more than that my main magic" Reinlas says

Linra scans him.

"I detect no magic coming from you whatsoever" Linra says more concern in her voice

"I will hold the belief that its temporary until proven otherwise" Reinlas says

"Right but what do we do now?" linra asks

"Now, we give the people direction" Reinlas says determined

Linra nods.

"How should we address everyone? Criers?" Linra asks

"No, channel your magic into me and use telepathy across the kingdom this needs to be as one and from the voice of their king. The last of the first generation" Reinlas says

Linra nods and starts channelling her magic into reinlas and starts using telepathy across the whole kingdom.

"My people, this is your king speaking the tragedy that befell our kingdom yesterday has scarred us, our families and friendships. Keireen has declared war on us with that first strike and I know we have always heard of the terrible wars across the oceans and never wanted to be involved but today we have to, we have to avenge those we lost, I lost my brother Farenhale and many of you also lost brothers but also sisters, parents, children or even friends we must avenge every last one of them from this moment on any who wish to join will go with the rest of us to fight Keireen and his forces. We will never yeild" Reinlas says

Linra closes the telepathic link.

"Lets hope we have enough volunteers" Linra says

"Indeed" Reinlas says

As he finishes speaking theres knocks on the castle doors and the guards open them and outside is a huge crowd or more appropriately small army of people. One man steps forward.

"Your right we lost family and friends thats why we will all join" The man says and the others behind him agree

"Laraka take some of your men and begin training them and send our forces into the valley and past it if we can get our kingdom defended in case he attacks soon" Reinlas says

"Of coarse my king" Laraka says and then whistles and some of his men come over to him so he can do as ordered

The people are taken away from the castle by laraka to be trained.

"There may yet be more volunteers, given how many were slain he has an army leagues beyond what we have" Linra says

"Indeed" Reinlas says

"I worry for those who cannot fight" Linra says

"Well we can institute a law so that everyone has to learn how to fight whether or not they become soldiers" Reinlas says

"It would protect them should keireen target a village instead of any castles, fortresses or outposts" Linra says

"Indeed" Reinlas says

Linra walks over to Reinlas and sits in her throne which is next to his.

"Your thinking of Farenhale arent you?" Linra asks

"How can I not? Did you see his body?" Reinlas asks

"No, given your reaction to it I didnt want to" Linra says

"Fair enough, regardless of what happened to him as well, he was my brother, my own flesh and blood, now gone forever" Reinlas says

Linra hugs him.

"He may be physically gone my dear husband but he is here with us in spirit" Linra says

Reinlas nods and hugs her then lets go and gets up.

"Lets go lay him to rest" Reinlas says

Linra teleports to the tomb under the castle with reinlas and Farenhales coffin is there closed for the sake of not hurting Reinlas when he came down to lay him to rest. They walk over and Reinlas puts his hand on Farenhales coffin.

"I had hoped I would never see this day Farenhale, I had hoped you'd always be by my side through any terrible time but now during our worst days you are killed, I do not know if anything rests beyond life but if it does I wish you well my brother, you will be avenged even if it takes my last breath to do so" Reinlas says slightly tearing up

Reinlas flashes back to many years ago when farenhale and him were talking in the potion room in the castle.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Thank you brother, I can't thank you enough. Heh what would I do without you?" Reinlas says

"You would do fine without me brother" Farenhale says a little sad

"No, I would be lost without you brother. I may have Linra but you are my brother and we have relied on each other since day one" Reinlas says happily

"Thank you brother, In truth I have no idea what I would do without you either" Farenhale says

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"You'll never know brother, and all I know to do right now is avenge you, rest well Farenhale I will miss you" Reinlas says looking down crying slightly as linra hugs him

"As will I Farenhale, you have always been great to everyone and done everything you could to help everyone even if it ate away at you. Goodbye" Linra says as she hugs reinlas tighter

Reinlas looks at the coffin and uses magic to levitate it to its place in the tomb and extinguishes the torches next to it.

"Your souls fire has been extinguished, I dont know if one day ill join you brother but whether or not I do, I know you'll be there every step of the way somehow" Reinlas says

Linra teleports back to the throne room with Reinlas and he sits back down onto his throne looking defeated but stops crying for the sake of the guards in the room. Linra sits on her throne.

"Reinlas are you-" Linra is cut off quickly

"I'm fine Linra, it will just take time not being able to sense him anymore" Reinlas says

Linra nods knowing that is true as she also finds hard not sensing him. Reinlas looks at the guards.

"We need time to grieve in the mean time get some of our stealthier soldiers and outfit them with lighter and quieter armour and get them partnered with illusion magic users and send them to spy in Keireens kingdom" Reinlas says

"Of coarse, King Reinlas" The guards say and they leave the room, all of them as they understand

Reinlas and linra hug knowing that even though its hard, its all only beginning...
