Gentsai
Location: Edolas Capitol
The mysterious solider appeared in the room and whispered something to Gentsai.
“I suppose.” Was all Gentsai said as the soldier step backed to give the two their space.
“Liana, you’re just like your father, which is why I must do this.” He slowly backed away as looking at Liana wondering what would happen to her.
“Before I go, I must say this. You might know their pain and suffering, but knowing is different than feeling. I see your father in you, even the part that separated us. You said that throne won’t corrupt you, but it will and you’re blinded by it already. That throne, pressure, responsibility, respect, power, are a few things that can take a toll on a person. You were gone for years what gives you the power to simply take such a great power!” Gentsai noticed how fierce each of his words became and it reminded him of what happened before. He took a few deep breaths before he continued.
“I’m going to free our people from this curse’s cycle. True, it won’t stop everything, but at least it’s something. That something being one person’s every single decision to rule, control, and tell us what is right and wrong. We alone have the power and right to decide how we can seize our own destinies. Remember this, even when you claim that throne, I still won’t see your authority and I won’t allow you or anyone from caging our dreams, not now or ever.”The man left with a scowled expression as he followed the soldier out. Outside, there were two legions ready to take off, one for each. Gentsai jumped on top of the beast and nodded at the soldier who was on the other legion.
“Just as planned, we’re starting it now.” Both flew off their separate ways, the soldier flying away from the capitol while Gentsai remained as he flew over the citizens.
“The fighting is over! Meet at the Central Plaza!” Shouting as he tried projecting his message across the capitol.
He eventually landed in the center of the plaza as a crowd appeared waiting for some kind of message. Waiting a few seconds for the crowd to calm down, Gentsai began speech.
“Citizens of Edolas, the battle is over, but that doesn't mean our struggle is gone. Princess Liana has return and is about to take the throne. Although she is the heir of the king before, she doesn't have to rule or dictate our lives. King Faust recklessly took magic withholding the information that he stole it. King Jellal lied to us and was the one that single handily decided to discard our magic from this world. Although the following king wasn't bad, he still kept that secret from us. The fake king and queen were selfish, and Pen and Maddox were idiots and fools to take the throne. That throne is a curse that continues the cycle of violence, lies, and corruption for the people who seek it and affects those around them. Although this cycle won’t completely end with the curse gone, preventing the roots from growing will allow us to reclaim what we lost long ago. What we lost was not simply the magic one hundred years ago, but also our own self to control and power to seize our own destinies. My absents from the royal army has allowed me to embark on an amazing project. That project with help from my colleagues involved creating our own anima that does not just transfer magic, but anything, even us.” Pausing he watched to see how the citizens were reacting before he continued.
“This anima will act as our path to a new world, Earth Land, where we can continue our ancestors lives with magic and coexist with magic without stripping it to limit. There, magic is practically an infinite resource and is said that Earth Landers use it as any mundane thing in their lives. There we don’t have to struggle over it while we work together to improve our lives. Nonetheless, you all are free to decide your own decision and walk on your own destiny towards this opportunity without anyone or governing body telling you otherwise. I am simply here to open that path for you all. Two days from now on the eastern outskirts of the Capitol is when we make the departure to our new world, to New Edolas.”As he imagined before, there were some skeptical faces when he spoke. But today was when he proves to everyone that each one of them can decide in what they believe in. A soft stomp could be felt and it slowly harder as minutes went by. Off in the distant from the Capitol, a small figure could be seen east and slowly approaching the city, but everyone who could see it became aware that the
figure was larger than originally thought.
“Over there, is our vessel, our ark. That vessel is about five times the size of this capitol, and more if you believe me. That is an extension of myself and suited to carry us to our new world. In two days it will arrive here and then we will activate the anima to take us to our new home where our old magic also resides. Again, it is your decision to follow or not, but remember that you only have two days to decide. For now, I have to help my colleges and spread the message across the other cities and towns in Edolas before it’s too late. Again, I hope everyone decide how they want their future to be and be happy.” Gentsai finished his speech and jumped back on to the legion as he flew off in the direction of another settlement to spread the news.
