8 days ago, frontline gates of the capital of Leilo

August 3, 687 AD.

Ashes fly around above the city and rain falls within the night sky, ashes and blood fill the city's inner roads as screams of the crying elves were heard within the capital. Fear took all and in doing so as marching through this burning city, men clad in thick layered armoured roam in with their large swords and spear, with many of the locals running away, above them the cries from the wyverns were heard with many crying sacks alike dropping it down of the wooden houses being burned down with ease. Having to glimpse this downfall for his very eyes, atop a hill sits down a massive fortified castle with the darkness falling. The only thing that lit up this city was burning cities, the king alongside his remaining guards all sitting alone within a throne room, with the many expecting the last clash. Surprise by how short did the humans got to his kingdom was something to be amazed at as he did not expect for meer humans who thought it wouldn't survive the greater desert was now disappointed by how weak his men had performed during the battles alongside he once allies.

"3 kingdoms down, 4 more to go!"

He mumbled, shocked by the amount of damage that the human had done, as he did not expect them to do it in less than months; it was all lost to the king, and having to glimpse the greatest defeat he had, it was disappointing and he couldn't bear to see it as he looked down head covered with him taking the guilt, sitting along at the golden chair, the screams from the crying locals were heard from the windows and having to hear them echo within his ears he covers his ears not baring to them. Covering them, the exhausted royal knights laid around and some sat down and shortly some time, a banged from their door caused an immediate scare with many returning to formation.

They soon raised their spears and their shields were formed in front of the men, with some holding on larger blades soon got behind them with many taking a protective stance around their majesty, holding on with their commanding officer commanding their remaining group.

"Till the last man! Don't let them take your majesty!!"

Immediately after, they chant out and some begin to hold on to their weapons as hard as they can, waiting for what comes out from the door in front. The knocking eventually ended and opening the door caused many to rush towards it. They screamed as they saw what was behind the door. The officer immediately shouted out.

"HALT STOP! it's the princess!!"

Behind the door was their majesty's daughter, princess Murray falledor, coming with her escorts as the immediate realization chased many to stop running.

"What are you doing?!" Murray cried out, causing many of the royal guards to halt at their small defensive charge; with many seeing it being the princess they shortly after handed back to the last position and having to do this, the princess looked towards the throne to see her father, broken and defeated.

Running towards her father, she comforts her father. He doesn't flinch or give a reaction, and seeing her father being silent as a tomb, worried her and shook her father to give a response.

"Father! Please respond! Those damn humans are coming to the palace! I had an escort assembled for this. We need to leave at once!"

Her cries didn't get a response, she shook him another time, and he didn't react back.

"Please. Don't act like this! This isn't the time to act like this Father! We need to leave!!"

The repeating cries infuriate the king, he groans and twitches around causing the princess to let go of her father, Murray was shocked at what her father did to her, and like this, she was irritated, to see this and immediately after back off and yell out to her father.

"FATHER! The humans are coming! Stop acting like this!"

Repeating a bothering voice from her daughter immediately snapped, the king snaps, growling like a hound, he shortly after looks back at the princess as he looks at her with an irritated look.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" He shouted, angered by the princess' annoyances as Murray, was shocked by the way her father acted back against her; Murray soon pour up, she's begin to cry in towards him, the king didn't say anything, with him looking back to his burning city wondering what is making his enemy take so long to appear in front of his throne. Surprise by how her father did not want to comfort her or even apologize for the way he reacted back, she gets up and stomp her feet angered by her father she shouted back at him

"FATHER! What is wrong with you?! The capital is now under enemy control and we must flee at once. We will head towards the kingdom of Elijah and ask for aid from them as we can use that to retake our kingdom! Why are you acting like this father? You are not helping the situation!"

…

"That's because I'm not!" The king replied, in a mumbling voice, "Murray, look around you, our kingdom has fallen to enemy hands and we tried our best to stop these invaders. but no matter how many you try, these humans will come out with a bigger figure."

"But that doesn't matter if we leave the city! We can inform th~"

"THERE'S NO POINT!" he shouted, "Elijah will never help us! No matter how many times we ask them they will not send their forces to help us! We ask them this! They won't do it and the reason why we are in this mess is that bitch Galadriel who is a massive coward for not sending their troops ever since our great downfall of Kalimdor offensive!"

"I know that she doesn't like having an alliance with our kingdom due to our long dispute and her stubbornness of not accepting the fact that we own the few islands beside her country! Fuck that whore!"

"Combine that our she doesn't like me, except you I don't suggest asking Elijah with her army and ask with the damn impures for aid for this losing battle, at least they would help out!"

"But do you hate them so much, father? Is there a way they control their country o~"

"It's because of that bitch Galadriel!" He yelled out. "Like I said I never liked her ever since she got total rain from her country, it's because of her annoyances of Limerick islands and her not willing to tell what is keeping from the grand chambers!"

"But you don't understand father! This is not politics, this is war! She will send troops if needed! We just need to ask in person to have her send troops!"

He scoffed from the response and gazed back at Murray with a disgruntled look, tapping his finger rapidly; he was irritated how her daughter was stubborn, as he b

"Murray… for 60 years I ruled this kingdom, it's my responsibility to accept defeat and see that the fact that fleeing a country means being a coward. I did what I tried, my people can leave! But I will not, to prove that I'm not a coward.."

"Surviving as a coward is better than being left to die with honour! Our lives are in danger and we need to leave this forsaken palace and head to any you tried within this continent; if that's how much you don’t like queen Galadriel, I don't get you acting like this, earlier you were confident that these humans were weak as a pig! And here we are a burning city as humans march towards our palace! In my humble suggestion, father, we should escape out of here!!"

"I RATHER DIE THAN LIVE AS A COWARD!"

"If you want to live then, leave! Stop fucking asking me, Murray, ill not leave!"

Immediately after so, guards around him soon pulled their blades out front towards the princess, with many glaring at her as she was shocked by the way her father acted back at her, she looks back at her escorts and stomps out as she gazes back.

"FINE! wait till I have made Elijah, come for you father! Let's see about it!!"

She looks back and Shortly after, the princess walked off with her escorts confused and quickly tailed with her highness walking off to the room. With her daughter goon, the noises of the screaming and the burning house begin to fill in his head and the feeling of guilt slowly but surely returns; having to notice how stubborn he was to not leaving, the king had a feeling of a slight of sorrow for staying at the palace as his only daughter runs off out of her kingdom to head towards Elijah there concerned 'last ally' despite that, he had a strong grudge from the kingdom of Elijah due to there earlier events that plague there souring relations and queen Galadriel refusing to send troops to their kingdom. Having to see his nation crumble down for the last time and the marching men from the outer doors be heard away, he chuckles as he gazes back at his royal knights.

"Show them no mercy!!"

August 13th, 2021.

San Francisco, United States of America.

The news plays out, with the reports of recent Chinese affairs starting to get bitter with the president agreeing to sell more weapons to Taiwan, despite threats from China commanding to halt their export, above the sky the screams from a jet engine were heard atop them as the Boeing plane passed through the city.

It was audible and a feverish day, a walk around the further part of the city was unbearable with me and my dog walking by as the Loud and traffic could be seen at the distance as he walked at the sideroads. Wearing nothing but his civil clothes, it was his first day vacating the marines with him taking his dog out for a walk towards the golden gate bridge. Even so, it was almost their independent month being 2 weeks ahead, cities as he walked by advertised their last 4th of July merchandise, 'some great some shit' he believed walking down as he dog said nothing with her being quiet as ever.

But the feeling of being vacated wasn't the motive why he was in San Francisco. He begins to think about it, a sudden headache hit over his head as he begins to groan from the head as he checks around to see if there's anything he could sit on, shortly that he notices a table close by with nothing but trash atop, sighing he walked towards it and sits down, having to take a sit he calms himself as he rethinks what made him return to sans Francisco. With a quick pull from the pocket to grab his phone, he quickly checks on messages to take a quick look at what he got from the mail. One found it and it was different from the last one, and having to click on it be fully remembered as he began to regard opening it.

"Dear James Liam.

We have to inform you that at 23:00 hours Oliver Stone recently passed away due to complications of his health, our medical staff tried our best to keep him alive. We would like you to visit us as to your loved one."

Remembering it was a PTSD to the young man, combined with his recent breakup and the death of his father, James felt the sudden regard on what he had done before but had to keep remembering the past wasn't something that James had it acquiring, having to remember his fathers passing slight guilt of not spending much with him was carried around him knowing that he didn't get much of a father figure ever since that painful divorce, he saw when he just 7. "I'm sorry" he murmured, repeating it over and over as he walked down the sideroad with James heading towards the golden gate bridge.

Nothing much for himself, James thought of having a future for himself with the feeling that the Marines were the only branch that could give him functioning as he didn't do much after finishing college. Unlike her brother or sister, he didn't get much planning for his future and since then he joined the marines despite full rejection from his mother back in New Mexico, even though his sister didn't prefer that his younger brother was the only one who agreed on his future of being a marine. But By the time he left New Mexico, he joined the Marines after and the first thing he got was to be sent out on Afghanistan back in 2007; its 3 tours were something for young James and having himself get military experience through the hell of Afghanistan he was somewhat delighted as by that time, James soon after continue serving since 2006.

….

The walk he expected to take more than 40 minutes ended in 3 hours, James looked up top with him finally making up at the hill to see the golden gate breach alongside his dog.

"A nice view"

He softly said, pulling out his phone as he glanced around with it with his dog sitting behind watching away with the breeze starting to get cold, having 3 picture taken James after, soon sat down on a bench with him sitting down as he looks on his phone to see it empty as much other than his few colleagues and his relatives back at new Mexico. Having to look through his phone, the immediate sun he once had soon faded away as above the sky, dark and grey clouds behind to fill in, alarm by this instant change of weather, a quick look to see that reports show that it was supposed to be sunny as before, and having to see it, he quickly stands up as he walked closer to the fenced cliff.

The clouds started to get dark, what shocked him was the clouds started to form around the bridge as the way the clouds acted around it was unfamiliar as he did not expect some clouds to act out over the bridge. Noticing the opportunity he pulled out his phone with James recording towards the clouds, with the clouds in one location, instant thunder strikes began to hit on the bridge as lighting bolts were far bigger than anything he had seen before "the hell?" He quietly let out, as the constant bolts hit around the bridge, with the cars within it began to crash each other, surprised by the way cars acted out, he didn't expect many crashes to occur in a short amount of time and the constant lightning strikes and immediately rain, was a something a contradiction to James, looking moreover it, he couldn't think much with barkings from his dog begin to react over with the dog wanting to flee the area.

"Pablo! Fucking sit!" He yelled out, as the dog continued to bark at the clouds with the constant lightings soon turned to the quick fall of rain; and shortly after the rain soon turn to an immediate storm with the shock of James rouse on how fast the storm came out on a day like this, having to see this his dog immediately after ran towards the dry part of the cliff with James being the only one being hit by the rain. With his wet phone, he continues recording this phenomenon, as he continues a sharp glimpse under the bridge was soon spotted as the water under it waving out as a quick flash was seen under it.

The flight soon to flash and immediately after, a flash of light soon exploded out from the bridge, in a mere instant, he watches as two pillars rise from the waters with both finding out blue lights as they faded in and out as the powerful storm begins to fuel on, the pillars soon lit up and immediately after lightings from dark clouds soon hit both pillars and immediately after, opens in front of the bridge, a portal or a gate soon opened as the waves around it started to get stronger and stronger. the flash and instant waves, James was dumbfounded by what he saw, as the waves began to get stronger James eyes to begin to widen as he moreover as he watches other a large wooden ship begins to appear out from the portal, as it hits its waters James soon back off as he looked towards the pillars with a speechless face.

As the ship entered its waters the storm soon started to get strong and come out from its deck, the mage looked around as the rain hit her face.

"We have come to America!"
