The Festival of Shield
People blustering their way to the stadium clogged the streets. The entire city was overrun with Amargans.
This event was much anticipated by the Amargans; it is the most anticipated event on the planet. Even humans from various shelters came to witness the game, including Miller and some Anti-Meta Human travellers warriors.
The festival of shields is an Amargan event in which each member of a family represents another in a combat. Each family must prove its worth during the battle. At the event, various weaponry were on show. It was not a combat to the death. But it's a struggle to the death.
The stadium was really big, capable of carrying around ten million Amargans. At the center of the stadium were a sandy floor where the participants will fight until one is humiliated in the fight. Around ten million seats circled the fighting arena. There were hard rocks that stood as the barrier between the fighting scene and the audience seat.
"I can't wait for them to start" said one of the Anti-Meta Human travelers soldiers who was sitting close to Miller. Miller and some of the Anti-Meta Human travelers/soldiers had sat down on a seat.
It was clear that the Amargans and the humans have grown some kind of close friendship relationship. Humans were just seen as fellow Amargans on the planet.
*******
James, Getrax, the beautiful lady, the little boy, Kisa'Kei and Taj'Kei just arrived at Kor'me'Lore.
They were still a little far away from the stadium; they had just entered the city. The stadium was at the right end of the city. it would take a long time before they would reach the stadium due to distance range.
There was an awkward silence among them except for the fact that Taj'Kei would sometimes bring unnecessary chatter.
They were currently at the city's market area. While moving something had caught James's eyesight; it was an abandoned or to be more prescise shattered area. The area had walls that looked like they were once gigantic cities that have fallen. Debris could be seen all over the floor. The area looked like there was once a civilization.
"What the hell happened there?" Edmund asked Taj'Kei and Kisa'Kei as he pointed his index finger towards the direction.
The broken walls was at the center of the market. It looked scattered like it was destroyed from something.
"I really don't know much about History, but i believe Taj would be the best at explaining what happened here" Kisa'Kei said while also giving Taj'Kei a wink.
Taj made a little chuckle as he started to explain what happened with a lot of hand gestures:
"Billions of years back, the Amargans had a great city which is what you can see in front of you, the city was destroyed, but what destroyed the great city, you may ask? The city was known as
"The city was a great and flourishing city, it drew the attention of many tourist, in the city, no one was considered poor, they were all equal, their was no supreme ruler or king".
"On a normal day, the city had it's great demise, hence that were the name of Sagis Olu came from. Rain of Fires started to fall from the heavens, as to beings could be seen falling also from the sky. The two beings fell into the city, they did not care about who and who died, they fought, they were like Gods, Fire, lighting all the elements were displayed."
"So many accidents happened, and at last, the war ended with both of the supernatural beings turning into virtually nothingness and the disappeared into thin air"
"The battle had actually caused so many deaths and had finally made a huge impact on the Amargans history and culture. We no longer build fascinating buildings. We no longer depended on our ability, and evolution finally took it away, we started to rare creatures; We started to take extremely dangerous creatures as pets like the Terrox and so many others. We will find a beasts weakness and then tame it".
"The Amargans deliberately left the ruined city untouched as a remainder that we should all get stronger and prepare for any battle that is to come This ruined city is now known as Mala Ses" Taj finally ended the story.
"Mala Ses". The name means "home of the fallen" in Amargan, and it would suggest a tragic and perhaps even sinister history for the city. it was once the site of a great battle or perhaps a terrible disaster. Whatever the reason, the name would carry a sense of foreboding and dread.
"Sugis Olu", which means "home of the mighty" in Amargan? This name would suggest that the city is home to many great and powerful people, perhaps even the leaders of the Amargan nation. The name Sugis Olu was changed to Mala Ses after that great war.
From what he said, one could not imagine the kind of trauma, The Amargans went through.
Edmund was trying his best to figure out the puzzle:
'Miller is the long awaited saviour? I am going to be Miller's guide through the journey, I need to find Miller as fast as possible'. While these thoughts were going through his head.
A voice Could only be heard by him alone inside his head. The voice sounded familiar, it was not the voice of James. It was the voice of that strange unknown man who was dressed in a medieval sack cloth attire.
"James or Edmund, can you guys hear me". The voice echoed in his head.
Edmund turned to look around him if he could find the man, but he did not see anyone.
"I can hear you clearly" Edmund said.
"Time is not on our side, Some are getting closer to the system, they are planning to corrupt it, we need to act fast". The voice said.
"What the hell is the system and why is it so important? is the system more important than Miller?" James was the one who spoke this time. Although Edmund was in control of the body at the moment.
James was still consious and when he spoke, he could be heard clearly.
"The system is what would grant Miller his powers, Miller had already been decided long as THE CHOSEN ONE; that was Billions of years ago. We have to fulfill it. Miller should be the one to get his hands on the system first, and not any other person, if the system is corrupted before Miller gets it. The system would influence Miller to be evil. If Miller becomes evil, The LONG AWAITED SAVIOUR would be no more. Go into that ruined city and stop them before it is too late. THE MULTIVERSE DEPENDS ON IT!!!. The voice ended its last sentence with a big shout.
After hearing this Edmund said to them: "sorry guys change of plan, you guys can go the Tournament without me, i really need to see this ruined place. Getrax can you come with me."
Kisa'Kei wanted to complain as to why they would leave, because they have not paid the debt. But she kept quiet because she saw the Little boy and the beautiful lady. She knew in her heart that James and Getrax would come back for this two.
"What do you want to do their?" Kisa asked.
"i just want to take a look" James said with a smile.
"Okay, when you are done, come and meet us at the stadium, we would be waiting for you" Kisa said as she left both Getrax and James alone. The others left Getrax and James alone.
"What do you want to do in that ruined city?" Getrax asked.
"To help the universe" Edmund said with a big smile on his face.
