The Legendary Emperor King

Chapter 26: Tristan Ashura - Special Chapter 05



Asu Continent...

 Mandarin Empire, Henan province...

 Starfall, future Academy... 

 Courtyard, cafeteria...

- Princess Hera Olympus (stuttering): A-Arthur, what's wrong? Did something happen? "Did he find out about his grandmother?"

- Arthur Treadway (cuts the piece of meat, then puts it in his mouth): Sudden mood swings? That time of the month already?

- Princess Hera Olympus (runs her hand over her face) "He had to talk about my cycle...": Don't meddle in my business...

- Arthur Treadway (eating, swallows): About the question you asked me, someone came to me and wants to kill me...

- Tristan Ashura (hits the table, stands up): WHO DARES?!

- Everyone in the cafeteria (silence falls, and they look at Tristan)

- Tristan Ashura (laughing in embarrassment, sits)

- Arthur Treadway (looks at Tristan, with a stoic face) "It's better not to mention the fact that he's the so-called god...": At the moment it doesn't matter who he is. You people like to get in my way so, I tell you, get ready because things are going to get difficult...

- Alander Odinson (sighs, runs his hand over his face): You've been provoking people again...

- Qin-Shin Huang (stunned, points to Arthur as he looks at the others): Are you guys going to ignore the fact that he said that we get in his way?

- Selena Glayder (moving her fingers nonstop): Even for us girls?

- Princess Hera Olympus (looks at Selena): Of course.

- Arthur Treadway (eating) "This meat is great..."

- Selena Glayder (sighs): Damn time I started leaving the lab...

- Princess Hera Olympus (worried, looking at Arthur): Why aren't you worried?

- Arthur Treadway (looks at her, raises an eyebrow): What? If I'm not worried, how did you realize that there was a problem?

- Eleanor Havelock (worried): Arthur worried...?

- Qin-Shin (closes his face): Master Arthur being worried is a sign that things are really going to get worse...

- Eleanor Havelock (thoughtful): The headmistress?

- Tristan and Alander (look at Hera)

- Princess Hera Olympus (looks at Arthur): She's not going to move a finger, the most she can say is to do what we're going to do now...

- Arthur Treadway (eating): You can walk away, if you want. The fight is not yours at the end of the day...

- Tristan Ashura (stands up, puts his hand on his chest): I, Tristan, swear to remain steadfast, and faithful by your side...

- Qin-Shin Huang (laughing, stands up): That's right Arthuro-Sama, I'm with you...

- Princess Hera Olympus (stands up, winks at Arthur): Always with you...

- Alander Odinson (sighs, stands up): We're together, goldy...

- Selena Glayder (stands up, smiles): I'm only with you because you're hot, smart, godlike strong and I like you...

- Eleanor Havelock (smiles, stands up): Count me in...

- Arthur Treadway (eating, looks at the six) "You don't even know what you're saying...": You guys know that dying is a possibility, right?

- Princess Hera Olympus (smiling, sits): I know you won't let that happen...

- The five (sit)

- Arthur Treadway (finishes eating): We have to train! They may attack us individually, and it's our duty to be prepared for that moment...

- Alander Odinson (thoughtful, looking at him): In the 1v1 class?

- Arthur Treadway (smiles): No, another workout. We'll have two hours of training every day, in the training room...

- Tristan Ashura (confident, clenches his fists): Let's do this!

I was a fool, no. We all were, he-he died because of our foolishness. Anyway, shortly after that we met Alexia, Arthur's foster sister...

 Asu Continent, Mandarin empire... 

 Mountain chain, mount Everest...

- Adventurer (climbing) "We're going to see the exact spot where king Pendragon turned into Solar king Pendragon, the place where he received the King's Force..."

- Adventurer 2 (at the top, looks down): Jean, come on, be quick! It looks like a storm is coming...

- Adventurer 3 and 4 (heading towards a cave)

- Jean/Adventurer 1 (reaches the top, writes) "It's that cave!" (points to a cave) "That same cave was where the King's Force was found..."

- Adventurer 3 and 4 (from inside the cave, calls the others): Jean, Alexia, come...

- Alexia/Adventurer 2 (goes to the cave)

- Jean (feeling cold, runs to the cave, writing everything down) "Even the cold here is special..." (enters the cave)

- Jean (in the cave, holding his diary): Hey Jay, aren't you going to record this moment in your diary?

- Jay/Adventurer 3 (sitting, making a fire): Guys, do you see those writings on the walls? It was Emperor king Pendragon himself who wrote them, it must be the other martial arts invented by him, but no one can understand the language...

- Jean (laughing): Or the old man was just crazy...

- Alexia (beats Jean): More respect Jean, it's the Emperor king you're talking about...

- Jean (laughing): Ahh come on Alexia, I'm just playing around. Helmut, dude, where you at, Huh? (looks around, doesn't find see him)

- Jay (makes a fire, with a smile that reflects his pride): He went to do number one, man...

Outside the Grotto...

- Helmut/Tourist 4 (taking a piss): This cold is killing me, I've to go back to the cave soon...

- Mysterious Man (approaches, behind Helmut): How dare you dishonor the Cave of Kings...

- Helmut (looks back): Hmm? Who tha... (is launched from the top of the mount to the bottom)

Hours later...

 At night...

- Jay (puts papers on the fire): That's right... (rubs his hands)

- Alexia (looks at the two of them): Where is Helmut?

- Jean (laughing): He froze while taking a piss...

- Alexia (sighs, sets up her portable bed): You guys behave yourselves, I'm going to sleep... (lies down)

- Jay (looks at Jean): Dude, bro. Shouldn't we look for him?

- Jean (smiles): Tomorrow we'll look... (the fire goes out, someone enters the cave)

- Alexia (sleepy, yawns): Thank you for putting out the fire...

- Jay (using Qi manifests a blue flame on his hand to see in the dark, focuses on a man right next to him)

- Mysterious Man (looking at Jay): You're welcome. (smashes Jay's hand)

- Jean (startled, hearing Jay's screams): Where are you man? Dude!

- Jay (scared)

- Alexia (stands up): What's going on?! If this is a prank, Jean I swear I'll kill you...

- Mysterious Man (crushes Jay's Head): Don't worry, I'll kill him for you...

- Alexia (unable to see in the dark)

- Jean (with a flashlight, points a dagger): Die, bastard!

- Mysterious man (approaching, Jean tries to stab him, but the dagger doesn't pierce the body): Did you say that the Emperor king was crazy?

- Jean (crying out loud, turning back): Please don't kill me...

- Mysterious Man (puts his hand on Jean's face): I'm not going to kill you, but I'm going to show you something! (shows him something, and he goes mad)

- Jean (agonizing in pain)

- Alexia (crying, falls to the floor): Please, stop! Please, we didn't mean to do any harm or insult...

- Mysterious Man (approaches, and faces her): Alexia Sif Winfrey Aesir, daughter of Odyssey Winfrey Aesir... I will not do you any harm, I want you to do something for the Light!

- Alexia Aesir (trembling, full of tears): Anything, just don't kill me...

- Mysterious man (sighs): Great! Go to your mother's academy, and watch a child with golden eyes and brown hair...

- Alexia Aesir (with tears): How will I know who he is? Give me his characteristics. His name at least...

- Mysterious man (annoyed, eyes turn red): On second thought, I'm going to kill you...

- Alexia Aesir (crying, protects her face): I'm sorry, please forgive me, it wasn't my intention... (kneels and puts her head on the ground): But why did my lord kill them? What do you want from me? 

- Mysterious Man (looking at Alexia): No one can get close to the Cave of Kings. I decided to spare you, as you asked me. Now go and protect the boy...

- Alexia Aesir (her asthma starts attacking, sits on the floor trying to breath) 

- Mysterious man (puts his hand on her head): I seal you with the King's Force, you will be submissive, and protective towards the possessor of the King's Force. If you turn against him, the King's Force will surely kill you, if you forsake him, the King's Force will surely kill you. Now go, and reveal your true intentions to none, this is the will of the Light, the will of God...

That's what she told us, at least what I heard...
