After training Nonstop for hours, King had Musabi and Stagnum go to bed and he told Luke and Ashly to stay for a talk.
"So Luke, it's about time you tell Ashly." The king said, glancing at Luke.
Luke already knew what he was talking about.
"Tell me what?" Ashly said.
"Um, Ashly what he wants to tell you is...Me, you, Stagnum, and Musabi are leaving with Tom!" Luke said Nervous in an outburst way.
"You son of a bitch I never said I'd take her! Well actually, This might be good because her power can be trained to really high heights." The king thought to himself.
"Wait what, but it's on short notice. why am I just being told?"
"Well, Ashly that's because Luke wanted it to be a surprise." The King said, trying to act excited.
"So, what do you think Ashly, you want to go with me," Luke said, happy that the king was backing him up.
"Well it is really sudden but anywhere you go I'll go... I'll Never let you leave me even In death," Ashly said, grabbing Luke's arm and giving him a very sinister look.
"Alright then settle, go get some sleep." The king said returning them back to the boat.
"Man, out of all the girls I've met she is definitely one of the craziest, like top 10." The king said to himself.
"Well I'm here by myself, I guess I can let some of my power loose." When the king said that everything felt like it stopped as if his power was too heavy for time itself to move as fast as it usually does.
"I'm only 3% of my power with all these seals on my power. To think I could have been the strongest...Maybe I could have saved them if I was stronger back then. Don't worry Anna, Mizude I'll see you soon but until then." The King wiped his tears before they could run down his face.
"Hey Tom," Tomy said entering the time-space.
"Hey..." The king said, not turning around.
"Come back to the ship..." Tomy said anxiously about something.
years ago...
"Move out the way!" The king threw a punch at Tommy and knocked him down, taking no time, the king ran past him and flew through the door to the chamber of hell...What he saw made him hear nothing and see nothing else besides his dead love tied to the wall clothes ripped. He ran over to her quickly and cut the ropes and held her close.
"It's going to be ok Mizude, I'll Heal you!" The king said with tears running down his face. He picked up her hand and tried to heal her, But her hand just fell out of his and hit the ground once when The King saw that his tears got more heavy but his eyes went dem and light left them. his face had no emotion but the tears kept falling. He picked her up and kept repeating "It's ok Mizude, It's ok Mizude," as he carried her out of the chamber. And walked past Tomy and outside where his friends were waiting. They all jumped up in excitement when they saw him but then soon realized he was holding Mizude dead corps. The king walked down the stairs still repeating himself. His friends broke down into tears. When the King got to the bottom his friends tried to talk to him but he couldn't hear or speak. Anna tried to say something too while he was crying but he just kept repeating himself and walking.
Anna ran up to The king's back and said "Please Toyomo Stop I can't see you like this, wake up," Anna grabbing The king Sniffling and crying her eyes out. The king stopped and turned to Anna and said. "Me and MIzude can't wait to get home to Carver. We should keep going."
"She's dead!" Anna shouted.
The king jumped and snapped back to reality. He looked down and looked at Mizude, her angle like blue hair shining in the light of the sun through the trees. her face was pale. The king fell to the ground, yelled as loud as he could and let the tears flow.
Back to the present day.
The king turned to Tomy and said "Tomy...it's not your fault."
Those words Made Tomy jump a little.
"I see the guilt in your eyes, Tommy, It wasn't your fault you were being controlled. Your sins weigh heavy on you, don't let them, because me and Mizude forgive you it wasn't your fault." The king said as he gave Tommy a smile that was more gentle than a feather and shined bright. As the king said those words Tomy dropped to his knees and felt as light as a feather.
"Thank you, thank you so much," Tommy said crying, grabbing his chest.
"I'll carry the weight for you because I wasn't strong enough," The king thought to himself.
"Nobody in the world should have the guilt of killing his own daughter when it wasn't their fault." The king thought himself as he hugged Tomy.
The king got up and reached his hand out and pulled Tomy to his feet. "Let's go back to the ship Tomy." The king said, still smiling.
"Yeah, let's go," Tomy said as he and The king went back to the ship.
They walked out to the deck of the ship and looked at the stars that shine beautifully in the dark night sky, The cold clear water reflecting the stars.
"Let's get some sleep, we hit the land tomorrow," The King said sitting down and putting his back against the wall he fishes at.
"Goodnight," Tommy said as he walked off.
After a little, the king fell asleep. The king had a dream, The king sat in darkness by himself nothing around. A place of nothing but he was standing on something. He just stood there then work up.
"Hung, What a weird dream." The king said stretching.
The king got up and just looked at the sunrise until everybody woke up.
"Hey, Tom!" Stagnum said excitedly. Stagnum had his bag packed.
"I guess you're pretty ready to go." The king said, turning to him.
"You already know! I can't wait!" Stagnum said jumping up and down.
"Shut up you're too loud for the morning," Luke said walking up behind Stagnum. Ashly and Musabi Were there too. bags packed.
"LAND HO!" A crewmate yelled.
"You shut up you damn downer! Because I'm hyped as well!" The king said putting his arm around Stagnum shoulder.
"I am too!" Musabi also put her arm around Stagnum's shoulder.
Stagnum ran up to the Jibboom of the ship. ( the wooden thing at the front of the ship.}
"Let's do this!" His yell echo across the water to the shore.
After 5min they finally touched the dock and dropped the Anker.
They lower the bridge to the dock. Stagnum ran off the ship first jumping around. Luke, Ashly, Musabi, and the king followed.
"Hold on you can't leave without telling us goodbye!" Tomy said as walked down the bridge, all the crewmates were standing there too on the ship.
They all stopped and turned their attention to the captain.
"Goodbye captain, I'll miss you, you guys too," Stagnum said to the crewmates. Then he hugged the captain.
"look at our little ones all grown up." The crewmates were crying with a tissue.
"This is goodbye, Tomy." The king said reaching out his hand.
"For now at least," Tomy said as he shook his hand.
"Stand tall my friend." The king said, then he started walking. The group waved goodbye then followed.
"Oh man, we're really doing this!" Stagnum said still excited.
They started down the dirt path that led through the big city. That had food, armor, and all types of shops.
"Alright, I think the first thing we'll do is get you all a weapon." The kings said
"Oh yeah, that's a good idea because I can't even use my power without it," Ashly said.
"Where's the best place to make a weapon?" Luke asked.
"We can check out a few places and I'll tell you whether the weapon is good or not." The king said.
After walking for a min, they chose a weapon shop.
"Hello and welcome." The lady behind the counter said as they walked into the shop.
"Hello," Stagnum said back.
"You guys go look at some weapons then bring them to me." The king said shooing them off.
The king walked up to the counter.
"Hey on a scale 1 to 10 how good do you think your weapons are?" The king asked the lady behind the counter.
"Well, all the weapons we have are made here by our blacksmith in the back room. I'd give them an 8.5 because he is an alright Iracuj user so the weapons always come out strong but he's not legendary," The lady said really thinking about it.
"Sound like you've paid attention to his work." The king said.
"Tom we found some," Stagnum said, with a sword in his hand.
Musabi had brass knuckles, Luke had dual-wield katanas, And Ashly had a dagger that had spikes coming out of the sides.
The king sat there and stared at the weapons hard for a second.
"Eh, I guess these aren't bad to start with. I'll take all of them." The king said, turning to the lady behind the counter.
"Good that will be 7 gold, sir-." The lady bit her tongue as The king looked at her with a sinister face, knowing that she was trying to cheat him.
"...Don't ever try that with me." The king let some of his energy flow from him to her making her shake in fear.
"I-I am s-so sorry about that sir, it won't happen again." The lady said not even able to make eye contact with the king out of fear.
"Hey, calm down I'm not going to hurt you. Just tell me what I really need to pay," The king said, letting up the pressure, giving her a grin.
"U-um, 7 silver." Even though the king let up she was still tense.
The king reached into his pocket and handed her the money then turned to his group.
They didn't feel the king's power because he was only focusing his power on the girl, but they could tell by the woman's body language She was terrified.
The king touched all of their weapons and a mark popped upon them.
"What is this thing?" Stagnum said touching the mark.
"Well, it makes it easier for you to use your Iracuj and draw it to your weapon. So basically your weapons just went from being 7 silver to about 349 gold worth. So to put it simply nobody in this city has no clues about weapons because only a weapon made by an ok Iracuj user can handle what I did to those weapons, the weapons should have all really been 26 gold." The king said with his evil smile knowing that he just tricked a shop into giving him better weapons than they should have only paid 7 silver. (1 bronze = 10$. 1 silver = 100$. 1 gold = 1000$)
"This guy Is messed up. He used knowledge and fear to get something so expensive for so cheap." Luke thought as well as everybody in the room besides Stagnum because he kinda dumb.
The king led them out of the shop with a big smile on his face to set on the trail to The Tomb Of Heaven.
