Chapter 1: The King's Plan

Time and place: 2130 hours, Conference Room

"The war between Airyglyph and Aquaria has been going on for years now, as you all may know. I summoned all of you here today to tell you of our upcoming plans. Nel, you'll take over from here."

"Yes, your majesty." My dad, the king of Aquaria, Nevelle Zelpher walked out of the conference room. "Alright, everyone listen up. I will only state this once and once only. Questions please state after the briefing." I opened the speech and read it out, "We will take Airyglyph head-on. Many of our people are suffering and the majesty wants this war to end as soon as possible. We will have three main forces. One is for defense, the Runological Force, will be placed at the back to provide support. This group will be leaded by Clair. Second, the left and right flank. These two groups will aid the front lines and protect the Runological Force. Tynave will be leading the left flank and Farleen, on the right. Lastly, the main force. I'll be leading this force in full-out offence." I stopped for awhile to see their respond. "Any questions?"

"How many people will there be in a battalion, and how many battalions are there?"

"Well, there should be at least four people in a battalion. Currently, only 320 battalions will be sent out. This plan is directed by our strategist and if they are any change of plans will you be notified soon. Dismissed!"

All the soldiers of Aquaria walked out, returning to their own posts. Clair, my childhood friend, walked up to me with a smile on her face.

"Nice speech you'd said there."

"Thanks. I want the war to end soon… The sooner, the better."

She nudged my ribs, "Why? Oh, I know! You have a boyfriend and you want to date him soon! Haha…am I right, Nel?"

I glared at her, "NO WAY! I don't have one yet…but I know you do!"

"Hey! Don't get any ideas. Okay, I apologize for disturbing you. But seriously, it was just a joke!"

"I know…I just want the war to end soon so I can relax more…the country too…"

"Yeah…I know you do. Hey, if the war ends, we will still be friends, right?"

I was shocked at what she said, but I just pretended that I did not know her true intentions of asking that question. "Yes, Clair. We will be friends forever. Nothing can separate that!"

"I'm glad to hear your reply."

Both of us walked out of the conference room and exchanged our good byes. I walked into my room, took off my current attire and put on my pajamas instead. Then, I switch the lights off and had a good night rest.
