CHAPTER 39: THE PROTECTORS

In the citadel NEMU and FALCOR have been divided to cover a greater ground, accompanied, each bringing one of his children.

NAIFU's eldest daughter is with SHIRO, who has become a great general.

NAIFU is with his two youngest sons inside the castle.

He was adamantly opposed to MAKI leaving with his father.

They had an argument.

SHIRO told her that she would take her daughter, because, she is good at helping to coordinate the soldiers.

NAIFU tells her that it is not true, she is a girl and one of the princesses of the kingdom.

MAKI, who, has entered the room where they were arguing.

He asks his mother to have a little confidence in him.

It has grown and developed correctly.

She knows her limitations, she doesn't feel able to reach CHUMBI's prowess.

But, he wishes with all his heart to match it one day.

For the time being, he must rely on her.

NAIFU, really worried and somewhat blinded by her own selfishness, confesses to her daughter that she has never believed her capable of taking care of herself.

As is he going to do now that they are at war.

This struck MAKI deeply, with tears in her eyes and clenching her fists, she turns her back on her mother.

And he confesses that, he knows, no matter what she tries, it will never be enough for his mother.

MAKI leaves.

NAIFU, realizes his mistake.

SHIRO comforts her with a hug.

He tells her in a low voice that, he has never been able to see the potential of MAKI, if those eyes do not dare to see, beyond his own fears, he will not be able to meet the daughter they have in common.

He has hurt MAKI deeper, than she realizes, but, don't worry, as a father, he will take care of his daughter and bring her back so they can talk again and come to an agreement.

She has always seemed very stubborn, following in her father's footsteps, disobeying her importance as princess of the kingdom, putting her duty as a warrior first.

For NAIFU, she is just a child.

The same NAIFU is not like NEMU, her sister was always a strong person, not like her, she always had a hard time keeping up.

But when drastic measures had to be taken such as leaving someone aside for the well-being of more people.

She doesn't want to accept it, but, her daughter looks so much like her sister, much more than she would like.

That's why he's had such a hard time getting along with MAKI.

Now that they have entered the war, he is terrified that he will never see her again and that things between them will remain as they are now, in conflict.

As at this time, KIRO is outside in the citadel, UISUKII and NAIFU will be the last stand to protect the palace.

NAIFU has come to her senses by giving certainty to her husband.

The situation does not give rise to the luxury of protecting their children from this war.

In the citadel, OKATA, SUKO AND ORUS have joined the resistance.

OKATA, is in the front row of war, right at the entrance of the citadel, she concentrates and molds her power, this forms an energy barrier on the door and they can resist more, this will give time for them to not worry about that entrance for a while.

He just hopes they can expedite the evacuation before they are invaded.

OKATA, he knows that he does not have the power to cover the entire city, but, if he concentrates only on the door he can resist a lot.

The metallic armor in contact with magic causes electricity to pass to the evil ones who charge it, stuns them by making them release the armor and scream in pain for the electricity they receive, then others take their place, sometimes release it, after a while they grab it again.

They are beasts with enormous strength and endurance.

Outside the castle the fight begins, soldiers of the castle throwing magical power of the elements against the horde to stop their advance, it is very effective, but, not with all, those who have greater resistance continue to advance, slowly, without stopping.

Through OSIRIS, WAPURO has been able to see the panorama of the battle, both in the castle of KIRO, and outside the castle of UNDERWORLD.

What worries WAPURO most is that in this horde comes ESU and is also attacking, WAPURO can notice that it is possessed by some power, its appearance, its strength has been unleashed, as if it had no limits... to kill, ESU has changed.

WAPURO locates the last of the disciples of TESUTO at last...

She is shocked to see that, he is the one who leads the horde that attacks the castle, to make matters worse, he is right outside, he is very surprised, she never felt, not even the same TESUTO the evil in the heart of that boy of great power ...

He doesn't understand how he was able to hide his nature?...

Since he does not perceive control over it, however, he is there of his own free will... he worries because apparently he was less wise and strong than RAYDEN, now he does not know what it will really be like.

What power he hid and what his intentions are.
