The first streaks of daylight began appearing over the horizon and the campfire had long since disappeared. Lucas was the first one up, Uriel was not far behind and waved me a 'hello' as she groggily sat up and proceeded to stare at the flowers with no thoughts for the next ten minutes. "She's a heavy sleeper" Lucas smirked and whispered in my ear as Uriel shot him a deathly look.

  After we broke some bread, the journey to our destination began, we walked by creeks, luscious plains and small forests, it was serene, surprisingly we did not come across settlements or travellers.

  "Where are the people? I thought we would have come across a few by now"

  "The country is fairly vast and new compared to the others and most of the people are at the capital deciding on a new ruler after the last tyrant disappeared. The people have divided into two faction causing unrest at first and then lead to a civil war between them" Lucas shrugged

  "So, we're here in hopes of maybe aiding them and finding out more about the situation" Uriel added

  "How long until we get there?"

  "We should arrive in a couple days that is if the weather stays clear that is.... oh, gosh I hope I didn't jinx it heh" Lucas smiled wearily.

  Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

  Uriel kept quiet, picking a pretty flower every now and then that we came across, mumbling a song under her breath.

  We continued until high noon and stopped to rest under a tree. "These people, why are they even fighting? Can't they just join the side that has better intentions?"

  "They could, they very well could but there's a slight problem you see. Do you remember anything about beings called 'Celestials'? They are people with skills so unimaginably destructive that they are sometimes even considered as gods" Lucas took a stick and started drawing on dirt."And unfortunately, there are seven of them"

  "Some of them are rulers and some of them are unknown but one of them is leading the factions in this country right now." Uriel added " Known as 'Cyrine the Oathkeeper'.

  "oooooooooooooooooooooo."Lucas adding a dramatic background music to that. "Sounds like she'd tower over us and beat us to a pulp which would be pretty cool."

  "Well, the surprising thing is that she hasn't already taken over the country by now which would have been quite easy for her." Uriel spoke totally ignoring Lucas."Enough chatter now, I want to reach the capital as soon as possible."

  "And back to walking we go"

  In a few hours nightfall started to creep in, over in the distance something began to appear, we could see-"LIGHTS!!!" Uriel shouted excitedly. There were 'lights' approaching our way but in just a few seconds their excitement turned into seriousness, and Lucas pulled out his blade as Uriel got into a defensive stance with her arms out.

  The 'lights' were approaching fast and precisely towards us.

  "Bandits" Lucas muttered. " And one of them can use skills"
