Lost of all

" Ean come with me "

Shu said as he walked into his house, being met with Ean who was eating what seemed to be a piece of cake on a plate

" Where are we going? "

The man questioned, as Shu just ignored him and kept walking, this naturally made Ean follow him, taking quick steps to catch up with the man who seemed to be on a rush for some reason

" If you can, gather up the girls, and Bjorn, take them to the closet mountain on the right, that's where I'll be "

Shu said, walking past everything on the house, heading to the back door exit

" For what? "

Ean questioned as Shu just stopped walking, standing in front of the door to turn slowly open it, turning to look back at Ean for a second

" I have something important to share with you all "

He said, opening the door, leaving the house, making Ean somewhat confused, but he did as Shu had told him to.

The man gathered up all of Shu's wives, his own wife and Bjorn, including the mermaid queen, who didn't want to leave her room at first, but after a bit of persuading she left.

Like Shu instructed, Ean had taken them all to the mountain, they walked up a small road which lead to the top of the mountain, where Shu was sitting, viewing the Sukeki Village; slowly evolving with its residents doing the best they could.

" I brought them Shu "

Ean said; his relationship with Shu was rather odd, he wasn't sure what they were, but he knew he would be there for him and he knew Shu would have his back as well.

" Thank you Ean "

Shu said, his back turned to them as they all just stared at each other and sat down, something about Shu was off today; it reminded them of when he first came back, he was cold and unemotional.

" I plan to attack the demon in a couple of days "

Shu revealed, making the ones gathered there confused

" didn't we agree with the other kings that we would attack once he had the alliance of the Titans? "

Petra questioned; everyone nodding in agreement just for Shu to scratch the back of his head a little

" That's too much waiting, plus we've wasted plenty of time already; the invasion set us back, but im also sure it set them back too "

Shu replied, as he would then lower his hand, placing both of his palms on top of his knees, staring at the sun which beamed brightly upon the small but beautiful village

" I'm sure it didn't, when the beams came flying down from the sky, i remember sensing a rise in sanctuary energy across the planet, similar to how it was for Fu when he blocked one of the beams; and if the demon is as strong as you said it was, then he could've done the same "

The mermaid queen said as Shu just ignored her, whilst everyone there just stared at Shu's back

" After the blasts of energy, troops were sent down, I'm eighty percent sure that they dealt with at least some of the enemy troops for us; plus we have an advantage.. "

Shu paused, sighing a bit as he just stood up seconds later, turning his attention to Bjorn, looking over at him

" We have the armors Bjorn has been building, plus he's almost done with them, aren't you Bjorn? "

Shu questioned as the giant dwarf just stared at the man and smiled a little, shaking his head with confidence

" No. I am done "

This made Shu nod as everyone there turned to look at Bjorn in surprise, but before they could ask any questions, they stared back at Shu

" Wait, but our troops aren't enough, we still need the other kingdom's support "

Emma said just for Shu to shake his head, as if saying no to her

" I trust my men, and I trust the armor and gear that Bjorn has made for them "

Shu replied, making his wife quiet down a bit as they all watched Shu sit back down, this time facing them.

" Now that you all know I intend to attack; here's what I want you people to do.. "

Shu looked over at every single one of them; his eyes locking on with each and every single one of them, one by one and they all noticed the same thing.

Shu had different eyes, not in the emotional sense or the aura that he gave off, but rather how they looked; they were going to question it, but the moment wasn't right.

" Emma, Petra, and Yuyen, I need you three to construct a letter, send it to the vampire continent saying that we will start the war in three weeks "

Shu ordered as the girls just nodded, making Shu turn to look at Ayami, Bjorn and Ean.

" As for you three, I know you all to train as much as possible in one week, that's how long it'll take us to prepare and then attack; the troops themselves aren't the problem but rather their strongest fighters "

Shu explain as all six nodded, making him nod a little in return, to then stand up

" You lot can leave now "

All of them nodded, standing up, staring at show and giving him a small smile, a smile that displayed trust in him just to then turn around and leave, but before they could..

" Ean, Bjorn, I need you two to stay, I want to share something with you both "

The two men stopped at Shu's request, staying silent, waiting for the others to leave, staring at Shu with anticipation

" What I'm about to say might come as a shock to you both, but I need it to stay between us three till the war ends "

He said as the two men just looked over at each other, and then back at Shu, taking a deep breath and proceeding to nod.

They weren't sure what he was going to say; they couldn't predict it and even if they tried to, they wouldn't be able to guess what he was going to say next.

" I've lost all my sanctuary energy and my control over it, permanently; right now all I have is enough for my body to keep functioning "
