《Being Human (Completed)》A new ruler rises.

William landed next to the crater he created with his focused mana aura, debris had flew for miles in every direction. He looked around, he was standing in a prison on the very edge of the city. The barrier of the prison rose and multiple mages and elven guards surrounded him.
Erza:"Should I take care of them master?"
William:"They have done us no wrong, we move on."
Erza focused mana in her palm and blasted the barrier in the sky with black flames. The barrier shattered like glass, while the guards cowered in fear of the two monsters that came from beneath. While William rested in those dark days, Raaoq healed his mind forcing his consiousness outward, letting it flow wherever he wished. While in his ethereal form William moved around the city, if he focused enough he could feel a path to the person he focused on. He had visited each person he knew in the city and discovered what had happened and who was to blame. The fly upwards and out of the prison, heading towards the castle.
Erza:"What have you seen and heard while travelling, master?"
William:"The king and queen are dead, assassinated. Arryn was found at fault when the assassins where captured and interrogated. Loke and Rel where also incarcerated as her allies, who planned to grow me into a weapon for their use. That is at least, what the populace was told."
Erza had start to burn bright at the mention of her master being used:"Then what is the truth?"
They arrive at the castle but do not stop, crashing into the side and breaking a hole straight into the throne room. It is a vast room, taking the whole third floor. Inside prince Kolvar was sitting on his father's throne, The high lords kneeling before him, Akkar Daeleth standing next to him.
Kolvar:"William?! You're alive?"
William:"I have heard all that has happened, why are you the throned prince Kolvar and not prince Aien?"
Kolvar is sent aback by his question:"The youngest is normally throned in our culture William...My wall..."
William closes his eyes:"I see..it all fits perfectly together now..."
Akkar is shaking and sweating:"You dare break down the castle walls and enter the throne room unannounced human!?"
William gives him a fiery gaze, his purple eye lights up with magic:"Silence you rodent!" Akkar shuts his mouth, sweating more than ever."Your majesty, the ones who killed your parents are not the ones currently imprisoned. Akkar and the lords plotted against your family and had me kidnapped and tortured. It is all their plan" William stared at the prince, waiting for a response.
Kolvar's expression darkens:"So you've found us out...no matter how, now you're in the way. Guards!"
Eight mages walk in and start casting restraining spells while the balconies filled with archers.
William is unfazed "So you're also in on this plan...The difficulty on this little game has risen a bit.." He grins, his purple eye's aura intensifies. "Erza."
Erza flies in from the hole William made, blasting the unprotected mages with black flames. The archers let lose their arrows, but William doesn't move except for his left arm which he aims upward, palm open. A shockwave of mana blasts fort from his palm, destroying the arrows and the balconies.

Kolvar:"You...you fiend!"
William:"Your schemes end here, Erza warp them in."
She is done as told and starts to chant, three circles of runes appear on the ground. Within those circles Rel, Loke and Princess Arryn along with another Erza appear, the three new erza's lose their form and flow as a black smoke into the original.
Arryn:"I've been told you have been a bad boy Kolvar."
Kolvar:"You!..You were found for treason and high murder!Guards! GUARDS!"
Arryn:"The soldiers will not follow you Kolvar, all those that stand here except us are your loyalists. The rest follow me. I had planned to start a co'up but it seems I have fallen under someone else's move." She smiles at William.
Loke:"William! Are you alright? we where told by your spirit what had happened to you, I can't believe this atrocity! Akkar you serpent! To kidnap the ambassador!"
William:"Worry not Loke, I'm fine. They haven't harmed me."(A lie, but they need not know)
Rel:"You sound..different.."
William ignores her:"Kolvar, you reign ends as quick as it started. Surrender now, and give up your five lords to me, then I shall show you mercy."
Kolvar:"N..Never! This is my kingdom! My right to rule! If it wasn't for that sly bitch being born!"
William:"Then let those be your final words." William's purple eye loses its aura and stops to glow, his grey one gains a blue aura and glows. He clenches his fist and leaps towards Akkar, punching him into the wall, a bloody corpse remains of him.
Kolvar is trembling in fear, lines of tears falling down his face:"M...Mon..."
William grabs the prince by his head and lifts him up, his purple eye gains its aura again.
Kolvar:"Let me go! Aya do something about this!"
The female Lord casts earth magic at William but he intercepts it with blades of wind magic that shred the flowing earth.
Aya:"Impossible!....with the elemental disadvantage..."
William's grin grows wider as he throws the prince onto his lords, making them fall over. The ground under the five then lifts up, squashing them into the roof.
William:"It is done, your majesty. The traitors have been eliminated"He looks at Arryn who is showing some signs of sadness at her brother's death.
Arryn:"Damn fool...I knew he hated me but..to murder our parents and blame it on me...William you have done us a great service, and I wish I could say, that you are now safe...But it seems this kingdom is corrupt to the core."
William walks over to the princess, standing face to face with her. He is about half a foot shorter then her and about 170 years younger but, they look the same age.
William:"Then I propose your previous deal, princess."Arryn shifts her head to the left, unable to understand him. "I was a fool, I misinterpreted your actions and I am very sorry for that. But I believe this kingdom requires a ruler, which is you. But I also believe our two worlds require a new high ruler, and I plan that to be me."
Arryn:"Worlds?..." She smiles at this concept, and starts to laugh. "And you're more of a fool than my brother! To stand against the Gods themselves! I like it. I accept."

Rel is highly confused:"What just happened?..."
Erza:"My master has killed the traitors to your kingdom and announced himself God."
Rel looks at Erza:"Who are you again?"
Erza and Loke facepalm.
--------------------------------------------------
After the ordeal in the throne room, the High generals with many guards arrived, the rest of the royal family a little afterwards. Arryn explain to them what had happened and to stop their plans, the war ended faster than it started. They had planned to start a co'up in the garrison, move to the castle and release the princess. Now there was no need and the priests continued to prepare for the crowning ceremony, but for a different ruler.
Loak looks on at the hole in the wall, being repaired by mages:"You could have used the front door, my pupil."
William:"I can blow it off it's hinges now if you wish, teacher."
Loak laughs:"I can feel it oozing from you, your power has improved. What happened to you while you were imprisoned? Reports say you blew that hole OUT of the underground market. We've been searching for it for years."
William:"Three kept me down there, two are dead the other was never there to begin with. He called himself Birse BlackHand"
Loak's expression hardens:"BlackHand?..He's the leader of an underground mercenary outfit.But he also runs many other groups from the shadows."
William:"How dangerous is he?"
Loak:"Power wise he's on par with me and the other military leaders on this continent. But with his hidden legions, he can be far more deadly. Oh I remember now that I have not taught you ability ranks."
William:"You've told me about the elemental advantages, monster ranks and magic types but..No I do not believe you told me anything about that."
Loak:"Has Loke taught you the difference between sentient races and monster races?"
William:"Yes, I was surprised goblins and Orcs are seen as sentient.."
Loak:"Hah! I'm surprised demons let them be! Anyhow, ability rank is how sentient races are ranked in power. Like the monster ranks there is 5 but with more tiers within each one. It goes; Bronze E, Bronze C, Bronze B, Bronze A, Bronze S. Silver E, Silver C, Silver B, Silver A, Silver S. Iron E, Iron C, Iron B, Iron A, Iron S. Royal E, Royal C, Royal B, Royal A, Royal S. And finally legendary, which has no known tiers as no one was ever able to achieve it."
William:"And how are these rank's calculated?"
Loak:"We use a ranking crystal, here one of the mages should have one" He asks a mage for one but an other hands him it.
William inspects the crystal,its long and white with thorn like bumps coming out.
Wiliam:"Sharp?.."
Loak:"It's supposed to be, it is activated with blood and then using it's bound illusion magic shows your rank. Here let me try first, last I remember I was Iron S." He strongly grasps the crystal as it pokes into his skin, he winces. The crystal glows and a window appears with his full name, title and rank.

Loak:"Well looks like I've ranked up, Wyrran will be quite annoyed" He laughs a little. "Here your turn." He hands over the crystal, no blood can be seen as if it absorbed it all.
William:"What do you think I was when I first arrived here?"
Loak:"I presume a Silver like most of our military. The generals are a Iron E while me and Wyrran Iron S, well Royal E for me now."
William grasps the crystal strongly, it digs into his skin and a window pops up.
Loak gasps in surprise.

William:"Interesting,why all the unknown? "
Loak:"The crystal works on a system built around the leylines, the same system the CCs work on.Since your race is not know to our world it has not be inscribed into the system yet and while your presence here is known to everyone your information is not.Royal C though? What truly happened to you boy?"
William:"Nothing of importance" He makes a gesture signalling he doesn't wish to speak about it.
Loak still suspicious of something:"Well let us prepare, the crowning is about to take place." his expression darkens again, he was good friends with the king and queen.
William:"What shall become of me? I killed a prince and the five High lords."
Loak:"That is for the king or queen to decide, as we do not either princess Arryn will once she is crowned.You could either be ruled a murderer or a hero, it depends on her."
William:(So she could lock me up? Well she could try...And if only he knew about the rest...) William forms a light smile, and follows Loak facing the throne where the priests were preparing. The room was filled with nobles after mages fixed it, the hole still being repaired as the princess put haste on the arrangements. William joined Loke and Rel who were waiting at the front of the crowd, Loak joined the other generals next to the throne.
Rel:"It starts"
Loke:"I have a lot to explain to the council..."
William:"I leave that to you, Ambassador"
Loke sighs and the ceremony starts. Arryn walks in with the royal garb and cape around her, accompanied by two priestesses. The High Priest starts to chant some sealing magic on the crown, Arryn kneels before him and he lays the crown on her head.
Priest:"I name you, in front of the Gods. I name you, Princess Arryn Yesventis. I name you, Queen of the High Elf Empire."
Everyone kneels, including the royal family and the generals. She walks over to the throne but does not sit, the priests look confused as well as everyone else.
Arryn:"As my first command, I name William Smith the hero who saved our people from a traitor. As my second command I name him my husband and therefore, King."
Everyone gasps and looks around in confusion, the priest falls off his pedestal and tries to get back up, Loak looks at William and starts to laugh under his breath, some of the royal family get up and look at their sister in horror. William simply walks over to the throne and sits cross legged on it.
William:"This is going to be a fun journey indeed." an evil grin on his face.

GLADIUS // Eret X Reader
PHANTASM SERIES BOOK 4---Gladius, (noun): (in ancient Rome) a short sword.---Eret perked up as soon as you and Simon walked into the room, a wide and welcoming smile coming onto his face. He was softer looking than his father had been, but you could still see some of the similar traits. He had a head of thick dark curls, and the same sharp jaw that his father had had. He wasn't as bulky though - he was tall and thin - and his face was a lot more open. What separated him most from his father's likeness though was the colorful cape, and the large mirrored glasses he wore - swirling with colors reflected from the room. He stood from his seat when Maven let the doors swing shut behind her, that wide smile still on his face. "You must be the embassy.""And you must be King Eret." You said, stooping into a bow. "Oh, there's no need for that." Eret said as you rose from your bow. He stepped down from the dias where his throne sat - colorful cape trailing behind him - and came to stand in front of you, taking your hand instead. "I'm not really one for formalities." He grinned, shaking your hand. His palm was warm against yours, and you could feel some slight callouses - most likely from practicing his sword work.
