Reaching Sabasa Kingdom

Solo was walking around another forest, it seems that he already forgotten about yesterday's meeting with Granberia, who turned back at the Monster Lord's Castle after giving up on finding him and follow his advices.

This time he met with a Centaur Girl, but unlike the majority of monsters, she didn't wanted to rape him and talked with her in the way.

Solo: Then, when we got in the mountain range, we found that the bandits were just 6-9 year old girls that tried to imitate the 4 Heavenly Knights.

Centaur Girl: Hahahaha! That was funny… Then how did it ended?

Solo: We took the kids to apologize and the civilians in Illiasburg not only accepted them, but they even recruited them to help with some work.

Centaur Girl: ...Thanks god there are still people who can accept monsters… We centaurs become dangerous during our mating season, and I hate it when I can't resist raping someone…

Solo: Things like that happens, we Hollows are always eating souls or each other until we became Arrancars, I didn't like that at the start, but later I got used to it.

Centaur Girl: Still, I never knew there existed a species like that… Well, I need to go in my way now, bye.

Solo: Bye.

Then the Centaur Girl left for another way while Solo looked around and picked a random direction.

[1 Week later]

Solo just entered the desert right now, while behind him there were the lower corpses of 4 giant scorpions, a dozen of seconds ago he swung again his arm and the Scorpion Girl's upper body exploded in a bloody mess.

He didn't have any problem with the heat or the scorching sand of the desert, so he just walked over it, but instead of slowing him down, he walked as if it was his home.

Solo: This place reminds me of Hueco Mundo… It's just that here there is a day/night cycle…

Then some hours later he found something shining in the ground, he raised an eyebrow and walked towards it, he found some clothes and items in the sand, and there was a lamp too.

It was dirty so he rubbed the sand off from it, but suddenly he felt reiryoku from it and smoke came out, from the smoke, a dark skinned girl came out.

Lamp Genie: I was called… I shall grant you one wish.

Solo: A… Wish?

Lamp Genie: Yes, no matter what it is, I shall make it come true. Now, state your wish.

Solo: I don't need anything… Can you just answer me two questions?

Lamp Genie: I know everything, ask away.

Solo: First of all, have you seen a purple haired kid with a ominous sword around?

Lamp Genie: Oh, yes! He came some hours ago and didn't wished anything from me. The second question?

Solo: Where is Sabasa Kingdom?

The Lamp Genie pointed in a direction and said

Lamp Genie: In that direction, if that's all, then I bid you goodbye and luck for your journey.

Solo: Bye.

Then the Lamp Genie entered back in her lamp to rest while Solo walked towards the direction the genie pointed to.

[Tomorrow]

Solo just reached Sabasa Kingdom, and met with Luka and Alice.

Solo: Hey guys.

Luka: Oh! Solo, you are here too!

Alice: Obviously he is here, unlike you, he can resist the heat of the sun.

Luka: ...Weren't you just complaining about the heat too some moments ago?

While they were starting to talk to each other, a soldier walked near them and gasped

Soldier: Ah! That sword!

The soldier was yelling and pointing at Luka's sword, then he analyzed him.

Soldier: Hmm… You're a little young…

Then he took a glance at Solo.

Soldier: And possibly a white dressed man near him… I'm sorry, but will you two come with me to the castle?

Solo raised an eyebrow while Luka was surprised.

Luka: Eh…!? I didn't do anything wrong!

Soldier: ...No, it's nothing like that. Anyway, just come to the castle. It won't take long… You just need to listen to a story.

Luka: Eh…? What do you think, Alice, Solo?

Alice: Don't rely on us. Think for yourself.

Solo: I would try to listen at least, it's day and we don't have anything to do…

Luka: Ok… I'll listen to the story…

The soldier nodded and guided Luka, Solo and Alice in the castle.

[Later]

Solo, Luka and Alice were in front of the King of Sabasa Kingdom, he had a strong looking body, and a powerful gaze.

Luka: Excuse me… Were you brought here to hear the King's request too…?

Solo: Idiot… He's the king....

Luka: ...Eh?!

King: Oh? How did you find out?

Solo: In this palace there are only soldiers, us and you, but it wasn't enough, the kingdom is in the mid of the desert, which can be easily attacked from monsters, so the people should be strong.

And since you are the strongest here, and even a bit 'Special', you could be the king, but I weren't sure about it, and you confirmed it with your previous words.

The king smiled at him and tried to analyze the people in front of him, Luka had a simple and firm presence, while Alice's illusion was discovered, but he decided to not talk about it, and lastly, he looked at Solo.

He moment he tried to analyze his presence, his body trembled and his eyes widened.

King: W-What are you…?

Solo: An arrancar, so why are we summoned here?

King: ...Oh right, I wish to ask you three something that must remain confidential. It's very important… If it gets out to the citizens, it will be a huge incident.

Luka: I… I understand…

Solo and Alice nodded, and the king talked.

King: The fact is, my daughter… That is, the Princess… She was kidnapped by a monster.

Luka: The Princess was kidnapped!? As a Hero, I can't sit still at that! Please tell me about it, King!

Solo and Alice sighed, while Solo facepalmed too.

King: It was midnight, three days ago… I was awoken by the sound of shattering glass from my daughter's room. When I ran there with the guards, my daughter was gone… The only thing that remained was a letter.

Luka: ...A letter?

King: The monster who took my daughter left it. In horribly hate filled writing, it had one word on it. Pyramid. Having the Princess being kidnapped is a horrible thing to befall the country. To avoid an uproar, this must stay a secret.

Luka: I see…

Solo: So we just need to go to the Pyramid and take back the Princess?

King: ...Yes, that is all.

Solo: What do you think Luka?

Luka: Obviously we will do it!

King: Oh! You'll do it!? Fantastic! I promise I will give a reward later.

[OMAKE]

Solo rubbed the lamp, and a dark skinned girl over a purple cloud came out.

Lamp Genie: I was called… I shall grant you one wish.

Solo: A… Wish?

Lamp Genie: Yes, no matter what it is, I shall make it come true. Now, state your wish.

Solo: I don't need anything… Can you just answer me a question?

Lamp Genie: I know everything, ask away.

Solo: Good, then… How does King Crimson works?

The genie had a panicked look the moment she heard what he asked, and tried to think to an answer, then she just yelled.

Lamp Genie: I DON'T KNOW!! IT JUST WORKS!!!!

Then the genie turned back in the lamp, and Solo shrugged before throwing away the lamp and walking away.
