Chapter 3 - Peace from the Father is No More
For three years Nara is in the Human Realm. He learns so much that when he returns he makes some drastic changes to the way things are done around the Eastern Lands.

"That should make things easier." Nara says after explaining everything to Daisuke.

"That it should." Daisuke says.

Over the next few weeks, Nara and Daisuke put Nara's plan into action. Slowly the citizens start to accept the changes and within a year they are completely governing themselves.

*****************************

On the day of Nara's fourteenth birthday, just before sunrise, the entire castle is awakened by Nara's ear piercing scream of pain.

Daisuke enters the room right behind Kareen.

"What is the matter?" Daisuke asks.

"I'll get the doctor." Kareen says and leaves.

"My whole body hurts." Nara says writhing in excruciating pain.

A few minutes later the doctor enters with Kareen and he is knocked to his knees.

"We should all leave." He says getting back to his feet.

"What's wrong with him?" Kareen asks.

"He is growing in power at an alarming rate." The doctor says once the three of them are outside.

"How? His powers awoken already." Daisuke says.

"That is true. However, it seems that Lord Nara is still growing in power." The doctor says.

"What rank is he?" Kareen asks.

The doctor peeks in and looks through some glasses at Nara then closes the door.

"Right now. He is a rank D and rising." The doctor replies.

"Only a rank D? His father was an extremely high A. How did Nara kill his father at such a low level?" Daisuke asks.

"The ranking system is difficult to understand but I would say when Nara's let loose all of that built up energy at once it probably shot him from a level one to a rank A before dropping back down to a rank D." The doctor says, "Not entirely sure but that would be my best guess."

"General! We are under attack!" A guard says running down the hall towards them.

Suddenly the guard drops dead and arrows are sticking out of his back. A crossbow bolt ricochets off of Daisuke's katana and Kareen pushes the doctor into Nara's room.

She fires one arrow and two invaders drop with a hole through their heads.

"That bitch!" The leader says.

Without warning the doors to Nara's room fly across the hall and embed into the stone wall.

Kareen and Daisuke dive behind the door and Nara walks out with his head down.

Nara stands in the middle of the hallway and looks at the remaining invaders.

"That has to be the one. He looks about the right age." One invader says pointing at Nara.

"That other guy behind the door is worth quite a bit as well." Another one says.

"Die." Nara whispers just before they release their arrows. The arrows come about three feet from Nara and dissolve into nothingness.

The four invaders quiver with fear as Nara makes his way towards them. Before they can even inhale to scream, they are ripped to shreds.

Nara looks back at Kareen and collapses.

*****************************

A week and a half goes by and Nara finally regains consciousness.

"You are full of surprises." The doctor says examining Nara as he comes to.

"Lord Nara." Kareen says relieved, standing before him.

"It would seem that some groups are opposed to your rule." Daisuke says.

Nara looks at his arm and sees tribal tattoos all over his arms. He then looks at Daisuke.

"Don't look at me kid. Those appeared a couple hours after you passed out." Daisuke says with a smile.

Nara clutches his chest and falls backwards.

Daisuke and Kareen hold him still while the doctor examines him once more.

"Incredible." He says looking at Nara.

"What is going on?" Kareen asks struggling to hold Nara still.

"His power. It is on the rise again." The doctor says.

"What?" Daisuke says before being flung across the room.

"Yes, he just may be the demon of legends. Lord Nara may be one of the few S rank demons." The doctor says backing away as Kareen is flung across the room as well.

"S rank? I have never heard of it." Kareen says getting to her feet.

"That's because there have only been a few for as long as I have been around. There was a demon spell caster that lived on the back of a mountain demon and the most recent was Lord Osamu whom was killed by Lord Eiji. Lord Eiji was one of the highest A ranked demons to of ever lived. Now his son has become an S rank. I fear for whoever sends him into a rage. Their death will not be swift." The doctor explains.

A few days go by and the doctor keeps close watch over Nara. Finally, Nara gets up and now his chest and back are covered in similar tribal tattoos.

"You my boy are a wonder for the scientific community." The doctor says before leaving.

Kareen sits with Nara and helps him.

*****************************

"What did you find out?" Daisuke asks.

The doctor builds a small fire in a pan and says, "This is Nara's power normally. But when he sleeps for a long period of time. (pours oil onto the fire causing it to become bigger.) His power increases even higher. I believe he is a demon of untold power."

"That is absolutely frightening to know that a demon like that could actually exist. Especially a demon at such a young age." Daisuke says.

"Who?" Nara asks walking into the dining room.

"Tell him." Daisuke says to the doctor.

"You are an S ranked demon. One of very few." The doctor explains.

Nara looks at them confused.

*****************************

Seven years have passed and the peace that has been around since Lord Eiji is finally starting to break down and give in to a few small skirmishes all over. Now at twenty one years old, Lord Nara is finally having to bring peace once more to the land.

Nara and Daisuke are in the war room looking at a huge map of the Demon Realm.

"According to our latest reports these two villages are battling for this lake. What would you like to do?" Daisuke asks.

Koji enters and bows before Nara.

"I have urgent news, my lord." Koji says out of breath, "It seems that Master Miyamoto has been slain by one of his pupils." Koji says.

"Are you sure?" Daisuke asks stepping closer.

"Yes. I don't have all the details yet but as I find out more I will inform you." Koji says to Daisuke.

"What else?" Nara asks.

"There are reports of mercenaries among your ranks." Koji adds.

"Who are you?" Nara asks as a couple guards walk past.

"Guards." One replies.

"Liar. I know all the guards and you two aren't guards." Nara says blocking their way.

"How very observant." The other one says, "It is just like your little scout said. We are mercenaries hired to kill you and anyone who tries to stop us."

"Too bad you are going to fail." Nara says as an arrow pierces the other guard's helmet and drops him to the ground.

The guard dives behind a corner and as he does so he shoots a couple crossbow bolts at Daisuke. One grazes his arm and he hides behind a table.

Nara wall kicks off the wall and grabs a rafter. He quietly sneaks his way to the fake guard and drops down on him crushing his neck.

Daisuke grabs his arm and drops to his knees.

"Forgive me, Lord Nara." He says.

"Daisuke!" Nara shouts running over to him.

"I think that bolt may of been dipped in poison." Daisuke says as poison moves through his bloodstream.

"Daisuke." Nara says unsure what to do.

"End it for me. I wish to die by the sword and not this." Daisuke says raggedly and hands him his sword.

Nara takes it and helps him to his feet.

"Please give it to my son and apologize for my carelessness." Daisuke says just before Nara stabs him in the chest.

"I will." Nara says and withdraws the sword.

Kareen runs into the room with her bow and looks around.

"Lord Nara are you injured?" Kareen asks standing next to him.

"I'm fine. Daisuke, on the other hand." He says kneeling next to Daisuke's body.

Kareen puts her and on his shoulder.

"Have the stablemen get a wagon together as well as my horse." Nara says lifting Daisuke's body.

The next morning, Koji and Nara are riding a wagon through the northern mountains. They arrive at a village at the base of a mountain and Nara hops off. Koji nods and rides on.

Nara looks around the village and heads to the bar.

He enters and everything goes deadly silent. Nara sits and everyone continues to stare at him.

A large (nearly 9 ft. tall and very muscular.) human looking demon sits down across from Nara and eyes him.

"What do you want boy?" The demon asks.

Nara ignores him and fishes for something in his pocket.

"If you want to live then I suggest you answer my questions, boy." The demon says standing up.

He towers above Nara and Nara looks up at him before standing up.

Nara is eye level with the demon's chin.

Nara is about 7 and a half feet tall with a slight muscular build. Not grossly over sized but you can tell. His tattoos over his chest, back, and arms are black and he has 8 1 inch horns protruding from his head like a crown.

"I am looking for the group of mercenaries hired to kill the Demon King." Nara says.

"And why would you want to see them?" The demon asks.

"That is between me and them. There is a small village north of here. Just before the village gates is a large bamboo forest. I'll be in there waiting for them." Nara says and leaves.

Nara leaves town and catches up with Koji just outside of town.

"How'd it go?" Koji asks.

"Good. Now for the second act." Nara says as they enter the small village.

*****************************

That evening as the sun sets behind the mountains, Nara sits next to a roaring campfire.

Through the darkness, several demons surround Nara's camp as the large demon from earlier enters.

"What is it you wish to discuss with us?" He asks.

"There's no need to surround me. I have no intentions of attacking you. I simply wish to look upon the ones responsible for killing a very close friend of mine." Nara says as the others step into the light.

Nara looks past the large demon and smiles.

"Ah, the man of the hour has arrived. Please allow me to introduce you to the son of Daisuke Ohayashi." Nara says smirking.

A young boy around fourteen steps into the light. The mercenaries lunge at him and in a few swings of his katana, they all drop to the ground.

The tall demon slices in half and before Nara can react, he feels a sword tip at his throat.

"Are you the one looking for me?" The boy asks.

"If you are Shin Ohayashi then yes." Nara replies.

"What is it you want?" Shin asks.

"I just want to see if the rumors are true." Nara says and smacks the the blade away from his throat.

Shin backs a couple feet away and takes a defensive stance.

Nara walks around him a couple times looking for an opening. He attacks and is immediately sliced across the forearm. Nara looks at the cut and nods.

Nara stands still and assesses the situation before him. He smirks and attacks once more. This time Shin counters by slicing across Nara's throat and narrowly misses the jugular vein.

Surprised by Shin's quickness, Nara backs away once more.

A dozen more cuts appear all over Nara's body.

"You are truly amazing with that sword." Nara complements.

Shin doesn't respond.

Nara coughs and cracks his neck.

He lunges forward feet first and as Shin brings the sword down, Nara rolls to the side and with his long legs, kicks Shin in the back of the head. Shin stumbles forward and manages to get his sword stuck in Nara's leg. Nara hobbles around and removes the sword. He tosses it to the side and Shin reaches for it. Instead he is greeted by a kick to the face then a roundhouse sending him into the dirt.

"How do you do without your sword?" Nara asks.

Shin gets to his feet and delivers a swift kick to Nara's injured calf. Nara drops to one knee and Shin kicks him in the stomach then the back of the head.

"Not bad." Nara says.

Shin grabs his sword and turns back to Nara.

"I'm not sure of who you are but this is your final moments amongst the living." Shin says without and emotion.

"I think not." Nara says and tackles Shin to the ground. He delivers three devastating punches to Shin's stomach, chest, and his head.

Shin's eyes roll back into his head as he knocks out.

"Very impressive, Lord Nara." Koji says from the wagon.

*****************************

Shin awakes the next morning in his home. He sits up and spots Nara sitting next to Koji. He reaches for his sword but Hikaru snatches it first.

"Calm down, Shin. He means no harm." Hikaru says. Its apparent that she has been crying.

"What is it mother?" Shin asks.

"Your father. He's dead." Hikaru says before bursting into tears.

"You killed him. Didn't you?" Shin says consoling his mother.

"I did as he asked. He was wounded by a poison tipped crossbow bolt and asked me to end him with his sword." Nara says and picks up Daisuke's sword.

"He wanted me to give this to you." Nara says bowing and holding the sword up for Shin.

Shin takes the sword and looks at it.

"Just who the hell are you anyway? And who were those demons outside of town?" Shin asks.

"I am Nara Nakahara. And as for those demons they were they ones responsible for the death of your father. They were mercenaries hired to kill me and anyone who got in the way." Nara explains.

"Then that would make you...." Shin says putting everything together.

"LORD NARA!" A man says bursting into the small hut. He bows before Nara and Nara looks at him confused.

Hikaru grabs a pan and smacks the man in the head.

"I've told you before to stop spying on me. Now get out!" Hikaru says hitting him several more times before the man dives out the door.

"Who the hell was that?" Nara asks.

"That would be Kenzo. He's been after me for years now. And now that Daisuke is gone, nothing is going to stop his advances." Hikaru says putting the pan back.

Nara glances back at Koji who nods and vanishes.

"LORD NARA!" Kenzo says bursting back in.

Nara shuffle side kicks him in the chest cracking most of his ribs. Kenzo lays on the ground holding his ribs and gasping.

"I believe Hikaru told you to get out." Nara says towering over Kenzo.

Kenzo crawls out very slowly and as he does Koji drags him back in.

"I have discovered some very interesting news about Kenzo here." Koji says throwing Kenzo to the ground and puts his foot on his chest.

"Go on." Hikaru says curiously.

"Seems Kenzo was the one who hired the mercenaries to kill you and Daisuke." Koji says putting more pressure on Kenzo's chest.

"You did this?" Hikaru asks.

"I only did it for you." Kenzo replies in almost a whisper.

"What would make you think for a second that I wanted my husband dead?" Hikaru asks.

"He took you for granted. He was never there for you. You need someone like me who will always be there for you. Someone who would never leave your side." Kenzo says.

Hikaru stands there quietly.

Within seconds, the air in the hut becomes suffocatingly thick. Koji backs out the door after releasing Kenzo. Nara taps Shin on the shoulder and they both exit the hut.

Kenzo's blood curdling scream of pain is only masked by Hikaru's scream of rage and sadness.

Kenzo's broken and mutilated body flies through the wall and lands at Nara's feet.

"Help me...." Kenzo mouths.

"Lord Nara, please grant me this one favor that I ask of you." Hikaru says on her hands and knees before Nara.

Nara picks her up and looks at her.

"For you, anything." Nara replies.

*****************************

That night as Koji drives the wagon along the curvaceous mountain road, Nara and Shin are sitting in the bed of the wagon looking up at the crystal clear sky.

"Lord Nara, I have a question for you." Shin says.

"And that would be?" Nara replies.

"I wish to pick up where my father left off and to honor my parents' wishes." Shin says.

"That's fine by me but first you will need some more training. You are a highly skilled swordsmen but you lack in other areas. When we get back you shall be tested so that we can see what areas need to be built upon." Nara says sitting up.

"Thank you." Shin replies, "May I ask you another question?"

"Sure." Nara says.

"When you were surrounded by those mercenaries in the forest, how did you know I would show up just when I did?" Shin asks.

Nara simply smiles, his bright white teeth shining in the moonlight.

*****************************

High up on top of the tallest mountain, Kenzo stands tied to a post in the ground.

"Let me get this straight. You want us to torture this demon for as long as we want and you will pay us whatever amount we want?" A mercenary says to Hikaru.

"Correct. I want his screams to echo from the mountains for weeks." Hikaru says glaring at Kenzo.

Kenzo tries to loosen his bindings but to no avail. The fear in his eyes made Hikaru smile as she walks around Kenzo.

"You said you could satisfy me better then Daisuke could. Now's your chance to prove that." She whispers and then walks back to her seat.

The three mercenaries break their huddle and the leader says, "Mam, you have yourself a deal. By the time we are through his screams shall echo through these mountains for centuries to come."

Upon hearing that Kenzo struggles franticly to get free.

*****************************

Screams echo through the mountains, causing birds to fly through the night sky. Nara and Shin look back towards the tall mountain behind them.

"Guess those mercenaries took her up on her offer." Koji says.

*****************************

The following afternoon, Nara and Shin arrive at the castle gates.

"Welcome to your new home." Koji says as they climb off the wagon.

Kareen walks down the stairs and greets Nara.

"Welcome home, Milord." She says bowing.

*****************************

Back in Shin's village, a young girl stands before the sword school where Shin was the Master.

"He left.... He left without saying anything.... Not even a goodbye...." She says as the tears run down her face.

The young girl is about thirteen and is small and frail looking. She has black hair and looks like a traditional Japanese beauty. She's wearing a lovely kimono and geta sandals.

A young boy walks up and puts his arm around her shoulders. He consoles her and she starts sobbing into his shoulder.

"It'll be alright, sister." The boy says and hugs her tightly.

*****************************

Nearly a month has passed since Shin has been at Nara's castle and during that time he has learned everything Nara has thrown at him.

"Well, I guess, the fighting comes natural to you. Even the book learning was easy. I must admit I am impressed." Nara says as he sits down to a meal with Kareen and Shin.

"Thank you, Milord." Shin says.

"Starting tomorrow you shall be tested by the veteran fighters to see if you are worthy of being the General." Nara says.

"Once again, thank you, Milord." Shin says.

A guard enters the room and bows.

"Pardon the intrusion, but their is a young boy and girl demanding to see Master Shin." The guard says and leaves.

Shin follows as well as Nara and Kareen.

Shin runs down the front steps and is blindsided by a sheathed katana.

"How dare you!" The boy shouts and hits Shin again.

Nara waves the guards back and watches.

Shin finally counters and judo flips the boy onto his back. After which he unsheathes his sword and points it at the boy's neck.

"What is the meaning of this?" Shin asks as blood flows down the side of face.

He immediately recognizes the boy.

"Shingi?" Shin says surprised.

"Not a word when you left. Not even a goodbye." Shingi says getting to his feet, "If it were up to me then I would just kill you."

Shin turns around and sees the young girl kneeling there with tear marks on her cheeks.

"Shouldn't you step in and say something?" Kareen asks.

"Nope. I gave him plenty of time to say goodbye." Nara replies.

"Aurora?" Shin says sheathing his sword.

"She has been crying everyday since you left. She believes you left because of something she did. We both know that's not true. You are just a pathetic excuse for a man. Once Master Miyamoto was killed by you, you got this big chip on your shoulder. You may be a excellent swordsman but you lack in other areas." Shingi says dusting himself off.

"It's alright. I'm sorry for being such a bother to you." Aurora says and quickly runs off.

Shin turns and is once again attacked by Shingi.

"We have unfinished business. I will prove once and for all that I am the rightful Master of the Miyamoto school." Shingi says and unsheathes his katana.

Shin wipes the blood from his face and draws his katana.

"Shingi, let's go. You promised you wouldn't attack him." Aurora says from the front gate.

Shingi looks back at her and reluctantly sheaths his katana.

"Next time you die." Shingi says and follows Aurora.

Nara stands next to Shin.

"Who were they?" Nara asks.

"Aurora and Shingi. I guess you could say they were my friends at one point but that is all behind me now. I have more important things to attend to." Shin says and heads back inside.

Kareen looks back at Shin then down to Nara.

Nara nods and heads out the gates.

*****************************

A week passes and Nara has yet to return.

"Where is Lord Nara?" Shin asks at breakfast.

"Tending to the needs of the citizens of the Eastern Lands. He will be back shortly, I'm sure." Kareen replies.

"And this is the main dining hall. Where all the Lords of the Realm eat." Nara says as the doors burst open.

He walks by with Aurora and Shingi following close behind.

"Since we are here why don't we eat something." Nara says and pulls out two chairs.

They sit and Shingi glares at Shin.

"I will personally stop any and all altercations between the two of you." Nara says.

A waiter enters and serves Shingi and Aurora. Everyone continues to eat while Shingi glares at Shin.

Nara continues the tour after breakfast.

"Shingi during your training you shall stay in this room." Nara says pointing to a large room, "Aurora you shall be in that one there."

Shingi enters the room and sees a bag sitting on the table.

"Your belongings have been put in your rooms already. Get some rest. Training starts early." Nara says before heading down the hallway.

"Lord Nara, is it wise to have them both staying here?" Kareen asks as Nara enters the throne room.

"Probably not but I have a theory that I am testing out." Nara replies.

"Why must you use them as your lab rats?" Kareen replies.

*****************************

A month has passed and Shingi is progressing in his training quite well.

Nara has postponed Shin's General tests till further notice.

"I have some business to attend to and will be gone for some time. In my absence, Kareen is in charge. You two shall continue this peace between you. If either of you attacks the other then she has my permission to kill both of you. When I return then you two will be given your final tests." Nara explains and retreats to the library.

*****************************

Three years passes and Nara finally returns.

The peace of Lord Eiji has come to an end and wars have broken out across the land.

"Lord Nara, you're back!" Kareen says as Nara walks out of the library.

"I can smell blood in the air. I'm guessing the peace has ended?" Nara replies.

"Yes. I am sorry for failing you." Kareen says bowing before him.

"It was bound to happen sooner or later." Nara says grabbing his book, "Koji!"

"Yes, Milord?" Koji says appearing from nowhere.

"Bring me up to speed." Nara says as they walk down the hall to the War room.

Koji explains all the different factions that have formed and are competing for the land.

"These two are the main ones. What are you orders?" Koji asks.

"Assemble the troops into three groups. I will take it from there." Nara orders.

"Hai!" Koji says and disappears.

In front of the main gate, Nara sits on his horse before the large army. Shin and Shingi at his sides.

"You two know what to do. We shall meet at the old Western land's castle." Nara says.

The main gates open and Nara rides out followed by his battalion of troops. Even several merchants and peasants grab their horses and follow.

Shin and Shingi ride out after with their battalions. At the edge of town, Shin takes the southern route while Shingi takes the northern route.

The following day, Nara's battalion is the first to reach the opposing force.

"Make camp here. Tonight we strike." Nara orders to his officers.

Under the cover of darkness, Nara and his thousand soldiers make their way into the enemy camp.

Before the enemies even realize what is happening, half of them are dead.

"You bastard!" The General shouts and smashes his massive axe into the ground at Nara's feet.

"You know that's not going to kill me. In fact all of you are dead and don't even know it." Nara says pulling his book out of the bag.

His troops retreat back to camp and start packing.

"Surely you are mad. Your troops fled like the cowards they are. What are you going to do with that book? Bore us to death?" The General says laughing.

His remaining troops surround Nara and Nara laughs with them.

"No. I have more important things to do." Nara says and puts the book down at his feet.

Suddenly, a large spell circle surrounds the entire camp.

"Goodbye." Nara says and millions of arrows shoot through the ground and kill the enemy army.

The circle vanishes and Nara picks his book up.

"Milord, that was truly amazing." A blue troll says bowing before Nara.

"Who are you?" Nara asks.

"I am known as Roswell. I wish to join your ranks and be your General." Roswell says following Nara back to his camp.

"Listen up. Take what you need from the enemy camp and we will head to the next one." Nara orders the soldiers, "As for you. You may come along. No promises about the rank advancement." Nara says to Roswell.

*****************************

Shin has caught the army he was chasing but to his surprise most of them have been killed.

In a tree just off the side of the road that is covered with the bodies of the decimated army, a demon sits on the highest branch. He is covered from head to toe in blood.

"I'm guessing you did this?" Shin shouts up to him.

The demon looks down at Shin and snaps his fingers. From the surrounding trees hundreds of demons drop down and surround Shin and his troops.

"Would you happen to be friends of theirs?" The demon asks.

"No. We were sent by Lord Nara to kill them. But seeing as that has been well taken care of we will continue to our destination." Shin says.

"Lord Nara? HA! He isn't worth serving." The demon says and snaps his fingers again. The demons step back and Shin continues on his path.

"Demon! When I am finished with this mission I will return for that head of yours!" Shin says and rides off.

*****************************

Shingi on the other hand stands over a dead demon with his sword drawn and breathing heavier.

"Who's wounded?" Shingi shouts to his troops.

A few raise their arms.

"Alright. Mount up and lets get moving." Shingi orders.

*****************************

At the western castle a battle rages between the two warring factions.

"General Tendo's troops are proving to be stubborn and not die." One soldier says to the other General.

"General Tendo is indeed a great leader. It is truly a shame that he is going to have to die." The General replies.

"General Sint, the reinforcements have arrived." A messenger says bowing before him.

General Sint is a massive ox demon that stands an incredible 12 feet tall. His very thick armor covers him from head to toe. And a large and heavy battle axe on his back adds greatly to his intimidation factor.

"Right on time. Open the gates." Sint says.

At the southern gates of the castle Shin and his army await the opening of the gate. While at the northern gate Shingi and his army break down the castle gate.

"GENERAL TENDO! We are being attacked by another force!" A scout says running into his tent.

Tendo is a rather tall and muscular demon. He stands at a staggering 9 feet tall with rippling muscles. His armor is covered in small dings and scratches showing that it has been in a lot of battles. His blue eyes shine brightly through his face shield.

"Who is attacking?" Tendo asks stepping out of the tent only to see his entire army laying in their own blood.

"NARA'S ARMY?" Tendo says surprised.

"Lay down your weapon and remove your armor." Shingi says sternly.

"You did all this little boy?" Tendo asks kneeling down and doing as Shingi says.

On the south side its a bit of a different story.

General Sint is putting up a fight and has wiped out over a quarter of Shin's army.

"Lord Nara would like to talk this over with you. Bloodshed isn't necessary." Shin says and blindly cuts down a dozen soldiers around him.

Sint backs away and looks down at his armor covered thigh. There is a clean deep cut that goes through the bone.

"How did he... I was a good twenty feet away..." Sint says before kneeling and tossing his weapon at Shin's feet.

A couple hours later Nara arrives and is quite surprised to find both Shin and Shingi kneeling next to one another. Behind them Tendo and Sint look at Nara for the first time.

"Seems you two had some fun in my absence and started these needless battles." Nara says as he looks at Tendo and Sint.

Before they can respond Nara nods and Shin and Shingi behead them.

"You two did very well. Shingi where are your men?" Nara asks.

Shingi raises his hand and his soldiers stand up.

"I had them pretend to be dead in order to trick Tendo into surrendering." Shingi says.

"Very clever." Nara says and looks around, "Seems both of you lost about the same amount of men."

"LORD NARA!!" Roswell shouts running through the gates.

Nara rolls his eyes as the blue troll runs towards him.

"Lord Nara, I thought you may of been in trouble so I came as fast as I could." Roswell says panting.

"Let's go home." Nara says and everyone heads back.

"Uh, Lord Nara. On the way here I encountered a demon that could start another rebellion. He had a few hundred troops already." Shin says.

"Is that so? Well lead the way." Nara says, "The rest of you head back to your families. Job well done today." Nara adds.

Shin leads Nara and Shingi with Roswell following close behind.
