[h2][color=a36209]Gentsai[/color][/h2] [b]Location:[/b] Edolas Capitol He was upset inside but had a worried expression as he saw Liana go inside the palace. The man quickly followed her inside and caught up with girl. [color=a36209]"Liana, you mustn't take the throne. The main reason why I came here was to tell you that you cannot take it. That throne is a curse, changing anyone who seeks to claim or use. How can you not see it already?[/color] he leaned against a table nearby with one arm supporting him as he rubbed his head, obviously showing great concern about something that he tried to just say. [color=a36209]King Faust was a mad ruler, attempting to steal another world's magic that didn't belong to him or any of us. Something like that isn't fitting for a king, even when our magic supply was scarce at that time. But it was when I read a few documents about King Jellal, the lost prince and future king. It was a amazing what he did for the people, to protect what was left after he stopped that fire breather King Dragneel that took all our magic. However, why did he make it up, the battle against that king,... why was it all an act. Why did he LIE to us and kept it a secret. Why did he write that he was the one that sent our magic away? What gave him the power and authority to decide for all of us that sending all our magic to a world with it as an overly abundant resource? Sure, the way it was being used and taken by the king wasn't right, but throwing it all away is even worse. That magic, the magic we had left could help people during his reign, yet he didn't see any benefits in it, the great potential that it could have brought. The king, your father, my best friend,... he seemed to carry that same ideology of no magic being used. We were the best of friends, almost like brothers, but our disagreement about magic was what separated us and led to my eventual banishment. It was after his death that I truly saw that no one was fit for the throne.[/color] Gentsai finally found his composure and walked away from the table and looked at Liana. His concerned look was gone and replaced with a composed expression. [color=a36209] “Neither King Faust or Jellal saw the correct use of magic. The fake King and Queen weren’t fit as rulers for our people; those two didn’t see the difference from right and wrong, they obviously couldn’t even lead a dog on a leash properly. Maddox was a fool if he thought he could forcibly take the throne with brute force and satisfy his thirst for power. Pen was an idiot, thinking he could do a successful coup to take the throne. Your father, my friend… no, that throne, it’s a curse that changes anyone who seeks it. A curse that brought nothing but a senseless cycle of corruption, violence, and lies for the people of Edolas. It would repeat cycle for anyone who sought the throne. That is why I’m here, to tell you to not take it. Just like happened to your father, I don’t want the same thing to happen to you. Liana, you must listen and end this here.[/color] [h2]You'll know who once you read this[/h2] [b]Location:[/b] Edolas Captiol After the area where the Maddox died and arrows flew. He saw it as a great opportunity as any to leave his ride since there's not as many people as before. Behind Sayrui, her shadow extended out of the ground, separating from her and formed its own body. As the body grew with more details, the darkness faded from the body and revealed Shutler who stood, staring at whoever was left and glance over at Sayrui. [color=662d91]“I must thank you again, that blast that sent us here took a lot from me. Before, as our little battled neared its conclusion and you sank your blade in my shoulder, I simply transferred my relatively important shadow to yours as quickly as possible before you pushed my dull copy off the cliff. Also, thanks for the great view that your shadow gave me.”[/color] He turned back towards everyone else so they could all hear, or if they wanted to hear. [color=662d91]“Normally, I would have some fun right now. But if I’m in Edolas, then I rather use my time to find a way out of here and back on Earth Land than waste my time with you people. Oh, it would be fun to find my counterpart here.”[/color] After that speech, he fell back into the ground as his shadow scurried away somewhere in the Capitol.
