The Amber Sword

The earth buzzes and a long electric light forms a vision in the dark sky.

“… after the war of the fifth century, the gods began to leave our world, and finally, Martha, this is the sleep of the gods - this is the twilight that the gods predicted, and they passed the world on to the descendants of the gods, and when the blood of the gods flowing on the earth faded for generations, one day the generation of gold and silver will replace them, and after the age of silver, the age of black iron will come…”

“… the Truth Council, the descendants of the people of God, to recreate the glorious times, found a child with pure blood from the depths beneath which Gaia's will lies. When the child is seen by the will of dusk, Dusk hopes to steal through her the authority of the ancestors equal to Martha, it projects a part of its own will into our world, uniting with the soul of that child...”

“… when it descended temporarily but was discovered by the will, our plan began to take shape in that era. The child survived, a generation passed on until before my parents had an accident. My father promised four wise men everything a thousand years later, but only concealed the child's existence. Until a thousand years later, your grandfather found her again on the final battlefield...”

“… you already know everything after that. After the failure of the dragon queen's plan, the will of the dragon of dusk awakens in our world, with the blood of the ancestors, it seizes the authority of our world..."

“… it has found the place of the Gods' death and brought them back from the void, but it is no longer a constellation of those who look after us and shelter our great will, but a puppet and shell that succumbs to the will of chaos and is under the control of the Dragon of Dusk. Just yesterday, the stars of Ovenroth were permanently extinguished and replaced by the rising constellations of the Dragon God Bahamt, who, after ten thousand years, reappeared above the Vaughn sky. ”

“Gods, come back, but not glory and hope, but cold and hopeless despair.” Madara dropped her handkerchief and replied in a cool, white handkerchief filled with spotted blood.

“It's blasphemy!” Andrea couldn't help but cry out with sorrow that, although this possibility was still presented to Brando, when she truly heard the truth, as a member of the Corps of the Earth, the gods and the Gods were the most devout warriors, and the young girls couldn't help but lose some emotion.

In fact, Mr. Liu and others beside him are also somewhat incredible. They know less about what is coming at dusk. Although they have come to know something along the way, they are not as straightforward and heartbreaking after all.

Everyone seemed a little silent, the phoenix took two steps, stopped again, and looked at his teacher with concern.

“Dragons… how's it going? ”

For some reason, Brando's eyes were filled with the figure of Aloz, as if he were a little dragon, a golden curly hair, sparkling light and a sly light in his eyes when he was separated from him.

But after a while, another quieter teenage girl appeared in her mind, with long, snowy hair, half dripping earrings, frowning angrily at him.

“Humans, shameless--”

Brando's heart was suddenly a little empty, and he sighed a moment later.

“The dragons no longer have a future," replied Queen Madara, "but without them, the blood will soon become thin and the newborn dragon clan will never be born again, and perhaps a thousand years from now, anybody will see the last dragon in the world close their eyes. Of course, if we can wait until that day..."

“So in the end, what are your countermeasures? ”

“Yes, it seems to me that we still have two paths to go -” Queen Madara looks at him, and deep in her purple eyes flashes a sinking light: “One path, is to restart the world, as the gods have done in the past several eras, the dragon of dusk, although it has seized power, but we also have a new Martha, the dragon of dusk sealed by the Most Holy One, of the remaining three supreme privileges, and as long as you nod with Acis, we begin to pull again, but it is foreseeable that in the next era our power will be even weaker, let alone that no one will be able to balance the power of Acis, and that any man may be enslaved by it, but civilization can at least continue to pass on. ”

“Essex came to see me," Brando replied, “and she told me that, but I wouldn't agree, and I wouldn't agree. ”

“Then there is only one other way, in the prophecy that a great monarch will come to our world, and it will open Martha's treasure trove and guide his people, and the will of the gods will crown him at the top of the clouds, and at that moment the whole of Warnde will sing for him, overcoming dusk, and our world will usher in a bright future. ”

Brando looked at Queen Madara, his eyes crossed in the air, the will of the master of the mercury wand was firm and unshakeable, and Brando's eyes were equally calm, as if thousands of hours had passed in his eyes, and he saw history, present and future at the same time, but only one answer.

That answer, he's already decided.

“If it were you, Your Majesty, what would you choose? Like your father? ”

“No, now the world depends on your choice, Count. ”

Brando sighed and shook his head.

“Is that what you decided? ”

“I've already decided, haven't I, Your Majesty - that many people in the world are making their own decisions at a moment, and those decisions may not matter to Vaughn, but ultimately they will change the course of history. ”

Queen Madara thought of Brando's earlier words at this moment, but she was clearly not satisfied with the answer.

What Warnde needs is a king, not a pimp warrior.

“Don't be ridiculous," she remembered her father: "I know your determination and your will, but your death will not help the world. We need not faith and ideals, but the power to resist dusk. ”

“But what difference does our world make to a chaos if we do not have faith and ideals, if we do not have order and compassion for the weak, even if we prevail over dusk? ”

“Don't change the subject, Your Excellency, the problem now is that we can't overcome dusk! ”

The queen's tone begins to engross anger.

“Your Majesty," Brando said in a gentle tone: "If I were the supreme monarch in your mouth, like the father you remember, perhaps one day the world would triumph over dusk under my rule, but in the next, it would face the same dilemma as ours. Do people expect a Savior to save them in every age? ”

“This is the era of the so-called mortal? ”

“Your Majesty," Brando sighed: "Remember, order never goes out, never dies - a thousand years ago your father used his death to prove this cycle, and the kingdom created by the four wise men, now what? The title of the fool is a heavy honor, because it tells us that we need more than just the pioneers of an era. ”

He shook his head: “I think we've made a lot of mistakes in the past, and in the future that I've seen, people no longer need the sages and nobles, not the gods and the gods - in an era where the gods are no longer, the heroes are gone, the mortals will walk themselves, opening up a hard path in thorns and darkness, and perhaps that era will be humble, and order will be like a weak candle fire in the long night, but at least the way forward is no longer dusk, but dawn, hope for eternity -”

“Sounds wonderful, but where's Dusk Dragon? ”

Brando was silent for a moment, and a strange light flashed in his eyes, as if he saw what he had seen in the boundaries of the elements.

He saw Miss Tata and the Holy Saints gazing at his expectations, and he saw Lord St. Osor nodding gently at himself, and he even saw that majestic figure - his grandfather, the sword of the earth, St. Darius - the old man, silently turning around, bending over and picking up his sword from the ground, leaving him with a silent back.

He looked at something he had never seen before, as if he had gotten that answer, and there was nothing left but an unprecedented determination.

“I assure you," Brando said, word for word, to Her Majesty Queen Madala and to everyone present: "Everything I see will come true. ”

Queen Madara subconsciously wanted to say no.

But when she saw Brando's divine color, the exit words actually lost their power and grew pale, and she shut her mouth silently.

“I assure you, Sophia. ”

“Everything's gonna be alright...”

In the darkness, the two tall shadows turned around and walked out the hall resolutely. There, the Minor Guards stood still, amidst the army, Traciman and Tumen were waiting.

“I believe you, teacher. ”

A somewhat green voice replied.

The phoenix went to Brando, holding her sword and answering without a doubt.

“I believe you too, my lord.” Andrea whispered behind Brando and replied, "I've seen the darkest times, fighting as if it had never stopped, we won one at a time, but hope grew faint, and finally you came back, and I'm sure you must be the one who brought us hope. ”

Neither Mr. Liu nor Philip spoke, and one of them did not understand it, and the other seemed always indifferent to it; Delphine frowned perversely, silently, as if thinking about something.

Only Archie looked a little eyebrow dancing and didn't know what she was excited about.
