Chapter 3: Beacon of Light


Thron

Priestess Shrine

In the quiet temple surround by the silent sound of the wind and four candles lit up, a lone woman is standing in front of the pool. The woman is in mid-twenties and snow-skinned. She appeared to be wearing a top red kimono with two long white transparent shawls that can stretch up to her feet, a fundoshi, a pair of the white socking up to her tight area and her brown sandals. Her face appears to be short black hair with a small white ribbon on each side, brown eyes and wear an ornament hat on her head that shaped like a golden sun.

That woman is Shrine Maiden Kaguya and one of the members of the Seven Shield Alliance. She had laid out some items on the tray. She kneels; take out some flower from the tray and throw at the pools. Some flower petals float while other sinks to the pool. A sudden vision appears in front of her. Kaguya curiously looks at the pool vision. Kaguya usually put up on a steady and expressionless face but this time, she is petrified to have witnessed the vision that the pools show to her. Every minute that the vision shows her, her mind is losing her usual self and replaced with fear and dread. After the vision ended, her body shaken with so much fear, she accidentally fell off of her butt.

Some of her guards rush in to see Kaguya is alright.

"Head Priestess. What wrong?" One of her guards replied to Kaguya's well-being.

At first, they saw Kaguya's body shaking and sweating profusely. They are not sure what to do as they had never witness Kaguya to fell into this state.

"Quickly, prepare to go to the trip to Ken. I must speak an important detail to the Goddess." Kaguya issue an order to her guard.

"At once, Shrine Maiden." Her guard followed her order without asking her.

Kaguya managed to calm her composition. All of her lifetimes, she had never witnessed so terrifying that she blocked her unpleasant memories from the vision. However, she could remember two logos that stand out to her. The one-winged lion emblem and the eagle with a sword and shield.

Kaguya signal to one of her handmaiden. "Yes. My Shrine Maiden." As her handmaiden awaited her instruction.

"Can you bring me a long skirt along for my trip?" Kaguya issue an order.

"Yes. Certainly, my Shrine Maiden. But I am curious if you don't mind asking." Her handmaiden replied to Kaguya.

"Go ahead."

"Why you bring along the bottom robe during the trip? You hardly ever worn it during your priesthood." Her handmaiden question Kaguya's request.

Kaguya never had thought of it. All of her lifetimes, she had never worn it ever since entering the priesthood and left her homeland, Far East. Her ancestor came to Eostia and save them from being conquered by ancient enemies a millennium ago. The previous Goddess Reincarnate rewarded Kaguya's ancestor to stay in one of the cities, Thron. The citizen of Thron did not appreciate her ancestor's kindness but as time passed, they started to get along with her ancestor. Her priestess tradition had passed down from generations. Until Kaguya saw the vision.

"We are expecting a visitor." As Kaguya spoke on quiet tone.

"Who?"

"I don't know. Only we reach Ken, then we will find out who are they." Kaguya answered the handmaiden.

'Just who are they? Whether they are, we are preparing for the fates lie. I hope.' Kaguya told herself.


One month later

Kingdom of Garan

The Kingdom of Garan. Arch rival of the nation of Eostia. This world is unfair to them. For almost two millenniums, Garan suffers from unusually poor weather conditions. Although the sun does occasionally shine over Garan, most of the time the skies are deeply overcast and stormy. The lack of sunlight fosters a tundra-like climate where only the hardiest plants can grow, resulting in continually poor crop yields and frequent food shortages. The elves who live there also change their skin color due to the poor weather condition thus dark elves are born into their culture.

The dark elves were jealous of their neighbor nation of Eostia due to an abundance of crop yield surplus and food storages. However, they have other resources. Their mountain provides with precious resources such as iron, coal and most important, magic stones. They turn into weapons and used it to raid every village in Eostia for food, slaves and other resources.

Several centuries ago, the queen of Garan had found a way to strengthen their army. Pooling all the magic stones combine into one big magic stone of three meters height. It significantly enhanced the magic power that can suppress any magicians in Eostia. Monsters are the perfect species to fill it into her army and the queen used it to brainwash every monster under her command without fail.

Cities and town in the Kingdom of Garan flourish due to the raiding of food; rich resources; human slaves capture for labor and breeding product for the monsters. It feels to be good to be a evil for eternal until the queen's mistake cost her kingdom's downfall.


Black Fortress

Black Fortress is an excellent symbol of power which reside the great queen of Garan. She is rumored to summon the Black Fortress in a blink of an eye using her magic alone in just an overnight. This monstrous building brought fear and terror to anyone who enters the fortress other than the dark elves will be a death sentence. The interior design of jagged stone and human skulls is enough for any intruders that they are entering a nightmarish realm which they will never come back once they step foot.

The queen is sitting on her sizeable red throne carried a black staff with the top end shaped into two curve end and a pink orb made of the most beautiful magic jewel. There is a mid-size ring in between the top end. The queen appeared to be medium brown skinned, black long hair that reaches to her knees with bangs, a pointy ears with three small rings attached on each side, golden eyes and voluptuous body figure.

She is wearing an ivory crown, black cape with golden lining accompanied on her skimpy purple corset, armband, and legging with high heel boots. On her belly, there is an odd tattoo to symbol purity. Pure dark elves are a rare kind of species. Rarer than the high elves.

She is talking to one of Kuchu's subordinate kneeling in front of her and showed Chloe's cape.

"WHAT!?" The queen Olga Discordia was surprised to hear that the 'people in blue' captured Chloe.

"Yes. My queen. Our army encounters these 'people in blue' during our march to our kingdom. These 'people in blue' have the powerful magic explosion that can obliterate the whole army with absurd long range. They are like an army of mages or god's associate that can rival...you." Kuchu's subordinate get in a flustered tone after observing this mysterious army. He was sweating bullets on his pale face.

Queen Olga frowned of such an army exist that can match her power. She refused to believed that anyone will beat the greatest necromancer. She and the only one can be a mighty magician in the whole continent of Selenus.

"I refused to believe your nonsense." She replied in a stubborn tone.

"But, my queen. A five hundred of us had witnessed such power including Kuchu himself."

"Still, there is impossible for any human armies to have full-pledge mages to obliterate our army. Their magic is scared and limited." She retorted in her 'logic' term.

Magic stones are exclusive to only accessible in Garan. Though smuggling is possible, there is not a single case of anyone smuggle a large quantity that can provide the whole army. Magic stones are invaluable in Eostia but due to limited stock, the mages are very few.

"I know, my queen. But it already happened and I report to you about the situation. Kuchu is requesting for magician squad to oversea Chloe's condition." He asking Olga for reinforcement to Kuchu's location.

Queen Olga had to decide whether to send magician squad to Kuchu's location. Olga had come out with a better plan with some twisted agenda.

"Oh sure. I can send it to Kuchu's location." Olga gladly replied with her wicked smile.

"Er…..Okay. Who are you sending it to?" He puzzled why Olga accept Kuchu's request.

"Me. Myself." Olga volunteer herself with her devilish smile.

The dark elf froze a few seconds before replying. "Huh? WHAAATT!"

The dark elf was shocked to hear from her queen that she volunteer to go to Kuchu's location.

"Are you mad? You are leaving an opening for Black Dogs to slip through our border. The whole kingdom is in crisis if you leave the national border. Please reconsider your decision. Our enemies are in our doorstep. When you are gone, they will invade our kingdom and all hopes are lost." The dark elf pleads Olga to change her mind before it becoming worse.

"SILENT! I DO AS I FUCKING PLEASE!" Olga burst out her anger and shout at the dark elf.

The dark elf was stunned that Olga had made her mind. She had gone mad. 'What madness is this? Does she care about her nation? Is she throw everything just to save her? Oh my god.' The dark elf never knew that Olga had fallen from her former grace just to save Chloe. At least Kuchu must be warned and help to evacuate his wife and children to somewhere safe.

"I will do as you said." The dark elf has no choice but to submit to Queen Olga's command.

"Good. Prepare the troops. We are leaving in a month time." Olga issue an order to the dark elf.

"At your command." The dark elf accepts her order and quietly left the hallway. After the dark elf left the hallway, she picked Chloe's cape and hug it tightly. 'I will come and see you. That a promise' Olga's thought to herself as she smells the scent of Chloe left behind.

Unknown to everyone in the Black Fortress, someone eavesdropping the whole conversation and secretly left the tower. It turns out one of the imps who recently snapped out of Olga's brainwashed magic. The imp was glad to hear this excellent news and spread it to his master.


Somewhere within Garan

A blacken skies with not even a single sunlight shine throughout the land. A dried, desolate and lifeless land is the only thing that Garan have to offer. There is encampment which shows a red flag with an emblem of the dog face and a sword on the right. This is where the frame mercenaries are known as the 'Black Dog' settled. Their standard uniform is lightly armored with only black singlet or shirt and black pants. They were paid a lot of gold coins to fight for the Seven Shield Alliance and on the verge of closing to the Black Fortress. Most of them are happily celebrating their spoil of war as more victory occurs.

However, three individuals stood among them. The first man has a tall, muscular man. His face has a brown hair, a scar on his right eyebrow and rough looking. His outfit with black shirt, a shade of brown pants, brown cape, a shoulder pad with the Black Dog emblem, a metal gauntlet, and boots. He has a long and heavy sword strap into his back. He appears to be a warrior

The second man is a tall, slim but has the six-pack on his chest. He is wearing the green vest, light blue pants, and brown boots. He is equipped with two daggers. He appears to be rogue

The third man is an average build size. He has brown hair with untidy bangs, light green eyes and wearing spectacles. He is wearing a purple cape, a blue and green shirt and black pants with brown boots. He appears to be a mage.

All three of them are sitting surround with fire in the center. Out of the blue, someone called him.

"Master! Master! I have great news." A red-skinned imp appeared in front of them.

"What is it? Got any news?" The mage replied in a curious tone.

"Yes. It is." The imp replied in an excited tone.

The imp whispered through the mage's ear. The mage started to smile after hearing the news from the imp.

"What the imp told you, Kin?" The rogue curiously asked Kin about the imp told him.

"It seems to conquer Garan is much faster than I expected, Hicks." Kin replied with a wicked grin.

"How so?" Hicks's curious replied.

"Well, the dumb Olga is leaving the Garan within a month. It leaves the door wide open. Easy as pie."

"What?! Alone? Is it good to be true?" Hicks is surprised to hear from Kin's information.

"No. Even better. With her troops." Kin adds more exciting information to Hicks.

"Wow. That too good to be true. But what if is a trap?" Hicks cautiously replied.

"Very unlikely. The imp told me that the queen is heading out to recuse her handmaiden. Would you believe? How dumb is she is? No wonder why we win so many battles."

"Damn. So when do you want to start planning, Vault?" Hicks replied in an excited tone.

"Hmm..what the rush? We wait for the bitch to say goodbye to her kingdom and then we strike." Vault replied in a calm tone.

"Wooooooaaaaahhh!" Hicks shout in excitement.

"Although it leads to my curiosity." Kin replied in a curious tone.

"About what?" Vault puzzled.

"That handmaiden was captured by the 'people in blue'. The imp told me they wiped out the handmaiden's army in one fell swoop. I wonder who are they." Kin curiously replied.

"Well, whatever they are from, this speed up our invasion and it a good thing. By the way, you know the drill. Too bad, I don't have a chance to rape the Queen. I wonder how it feels to fuck the dark elf bitch." Vault does not worried so much.

"Oh yes. The irony." Hicks replied in happy thought.

"Well, we will go and celebrate our victory. Drink up. Guys" Vault turn around and shout to his men.

The mercenaries cheer as they drown themselves with alcohol or beer.


Two months after their arrival

ECA / USA Detention Camp [Female Cell]

0600 hours

21st February 2055

"HEY WAKE UP. YOU LAZYBONES." One of the female MP shouted to all the female prisoners in their cell. Some of them woke up in sleepy tones while other ignore her calling. One of them is Chloe. She is too tired and needs to sleep more. Unfortunately for her, she is going to get hurtful on her ear.

"WAKE UP! YOU ASSHOLE!" A female MP shout to Chloe's ears using her loud hailer. A sudden shock woke up Chloe out of hard rock bed. Chloe is very tired with watery bags on her eyelids and looks gloomy. Chloe grumbled on THAT person who woke her up. She can remember on that day.


Flashback

A few days later after their arrival

After Chloe, Violet and the other four ex-knights woke up from their hospital, they will be serving their jail time. They were unaware that they stayed in their cells till their sentence finished. The six of them were very uncomfortable wearing that orange prison uniform. They form a line outside their cell until two women show up to properly 'greet' them.

"Attention." A black long hair girl in ECA military uniform.

The six of them blinked at the black long hair girl as they were unfamiliar the procedures in the detention camp.

"Ladies. My name is Warrant Officer Catherine Ward and my colleague is Staff Sgt. Lucy Richter." Catherine and Lucy introduced herself.

All six of them stared at both of them in confusion.

"From now as for today, you all six will be staying in this detention camp. So get your necessary things over there and bring it to your designated cell." Catherine points the direction where it is. All six of them turn to the direction and saw the officer is waiting for them. The six of them are shocked that they realize their situation. They will be sleeping in a dirty room as they thought.

"Hey. That not fair. Why we are sleeping in this cell? Can we sleep with the comfortable place like the temporary shelter, not a hard rock bed." Violet complained.

"Oh that too bad. You broke the law and have to stay in this cell." Catherine explain.

"What law? We are a bid-lawful citizen. We did not do anything except that dark-elf bitch." Violet demanded.

"Ya…Wear your obscene 'armor', charged into our base, carried weaponry, attempt to attack an officer and refusal to comply with our rules. So I guessing you girls will stay here until your term end." Lucy happily lists all of the charges to them.

"That a lie. Your officer attacks us when we about to enter into your place to meet the savior." Violet denied.

Violet isn't wrong. While Brigadier Maria attacked them in the first place, the charges of the knights outweigh her. If Maria does not step in, this causes a lot of problems. Under ECA military rule and regulation, no man is allowed to touch against a female (unless it his spouse). Those who do that, they will face charges for sexual assault. Fortunately, female are allowed to touch on their same sex. Besides, the knights were a block-head anyway.

"Well, that your problem. If you don't collect your stuff from your counter, that you will be sleeping on your hard rock bed and chilling wind." Catherine shrugged her shoulder.

Immediately, all of the four female POW go and queue up at the counter to get their stuff.

"Hey, wait for me." Violet also want to get her stuff and completely forget the matter as she rushed to the counter.

Chloe rushes to get the stuff from the counter when Catherine stop her.

"Miss dark elf. Why you have Rapunzel hair?" Catherine pointed at Chloe's hair.

While having long hair is standard in the detention camp, Chloe's hair is absurd too long. Her hair reaches up to her calves.

"Rapunzel? What that?" Chloe puzzled asked.

"It means you have absurd long hair. Seriously, why your hair grew so long?" Catherine explained to Chloe about her hair.

"None of your business, human trash." Chloe scoff at Catherine's remarks.

"Well, you are going to get injured yourself," Catherine warns Chloe.

" I don't believe your nonsense. I am fine, you stupid human." Chloe ignored Catherine's warning before getting her stuff from the counter.

'Ha. So that bitch ignores my warning. Did she call me [stupid]? Oh, you just wait and see.' Catherine was annoyed her when Chloe gave rude comment.

She noticed that there a conveyor belt machine near the counter. This creates an idea for Catherine's wicked plan. Without Chloe noticing while queuing, Catherine kicked Chloe's hair at the end part and at the same time, activated the conveyor belt. By that time, Chloe's hair got caught by one of the gears in the conveyor belt. As Chloe is about to reach the counter, she feels a sharp pain from her head.

"What?!" As she feels pain when someone pulls her hair. When she turned around, she saw her hair caught by some metallic stuff. She tried to pull out her hair from the metallic thing but no avail.

"Can someone help me to get that thing off?" Chloe yelled for help.

Nobody helps her not even the Violet and her four ex-knights as they smirked as the dark elf got her well-deserved punishment.

"See? I told you." Catherine replied to Chloe for not heeding her warning.

"Oh please kind madam. Get that thing off my hair." Chloe struggled to remove her hair from that metallic thing which slowly eats her hair.

"Well, that your problem. Unless…."

"Unless what?"

"Well, just cut off your hair for an obvious reason," Catherine suggested.

"No! No! No! No! I don't want that metal blade to cut off my hair." Chloe could not believe it that her hair is going to get a cut.

"Well, that the only solution. Unless you want your head to get crushed by that."

As she stared at the metal thingy eating her beautiful hair, Chloe froze for a few seconds. Chloe feels that she regret her decision.

"Wait! Please do it." Chloe desperate wanted to save her life over her hair.

"Okay. If you say so."

Catherine got her scissors ready and proceed to cut off Chloe's hair. Chloe felt the heart broke when her hair cut by the filthy human.

"Ok, it has done."

Lucy switches off the machine and the conveyor belt stop. Chloe stares at how much her hair clogged at that metal thing. Catherine gave a satisfied smile.

"Oh by the way, since your hairs struck at the conveyor belt, you have to remove it by yourself." Catherine had to remind Chloe that she got new duties.

"WHAT!" Chloe is shocked to hear from Catherine.

"You heard me. That your duties for today. Oh dear, the counter closed down. Better luck. Next time." Catherine told her that the counter closed as the officer put down the metal wall to the counter.

Chloe cursed herself for suck jinx luck and that Catherine, as she stared at her former beautiful hair, stuck in between the gears inside the conveyor belt.


Present time

Canteen

Chloe chewing her bread alone. Chloe felt unhappy for her first time because her hair shrinks in length to her waist. She wished she could listen to Kuchu's warning but she was stubborn at that time. Her ears started to flop down and she becomes gloomy. She wanted to cry but could not.


Forty-five minutes Later

Female Toilet

While Chloe finished her toilet business, she washes her face on the sink. When she first arrived at the toilet, she is clueless about how to use the tap that produces water. She thought it some kind of magical stone that produces water from the river. After she got used it for two months, it is a very convenient tool for her to wash her face.

"Hey, dark elf bitch."

Chloe turn around to see that a familiar face. That dread face of an ex-knights that accompany her to the detention camp.

"What do you want, goody-two-shoe human?" Chloe still is not a good mood talking to Violet.

"Did you stole my necklace, you scum dark elf?" Violet demanded to know.

"Huh? Why I should steal your pathetic stone?" Chloe denied.

"It belongs to my late mother that your race murders her in cold blood," Violet yelled back at her.

"So? Your race also murders our race. So that makes us even." Chloe's sarcasm remake to Violet's dead mother.

"Why...you..slut. You want to play tough." Violet is furious and signals to other four ex-knights. All the four ex-knights stand beside her.

"What the hell? You think you all gang up against me?" Chloe is shocked to see Violet's friends.

"So much for being honored and good people of Iris. You all gang up against me even I did nothing wrong. Now get lost and let me exit." Chloe's mocking comment about the Knights of Iris.

"Not if I get back my necklace. Let get her and find my necklace." Violet issue an order to her four knights.

Without hesitant, all four female ex-knights blocked Chloe's path and force stripped Chloe.

"Hey, unhand me you, filthy knights." Chloe struggled to get off from the ex-knights as they search her body and undress her.

Within a few minutes, Chloe is fully naked with four ex-knights surround her.

"Happy? Now let me go and change back." Chloe wanted to change back her clothes.

"No. Not yet. There is one place to search. That is between your legs." Violet is still not satisfied with the search and point to Chloe's nether region.

"What the… Are you serious?" Chloe is stunned to hear from Violet.

"Yes. Now grab her hand and legs." All of the four ex-knights grab each Chloe's legs and arms.

"Get lost. Don't touch with your filthy hand." Chloe struggled to get it off but it was futile as the four ex-knights overpower her.

"Open your legs wide so that I can properly search thoroughly," Violet order her ex-knights.

Chloe turn paled when Violet took a metal twig to use it for 'searching.' It reminds her of his 'sick' father do horrible things to her when she was a child.

Before Violet uses it to inspect Chloe's nether region, Violet received a kick from her face very hard.

"Who the hell did this?" Violet felt so much pain after someone kicks her face.

Violet turn paled to see the dreadful person again.

"Good to see you again." Maria stares fiercely at Violet's frightened face.

"You….What are you here?" Violet is enraged to see her again.

"I am going to the toilet while I heard you and your friends gang up on the poor dark elf just to search your dead mother's necklace. Really? Do you do that?" Violet's action does not amuse Maria.

"Anyway, I already inform MP to deal with you." As Maria use the 'behind me' hand signal, a few female MPs rushed to arrest Violet and her four ex-knights.

"Hey, let me go." Violet protests.

As the MPs dragged Violet and her four ex-knights, Maria approached Chloe who is fully naked.

"Are you alright?" Maria extended her hand to Chloe.

Chloe could thank her but her belief forced her to not accept her help. So Chloe brushed off Maria's extended hand as she brings her clothes to the changing room.

While Maria could tell her off that Chloe was rude, she decided to let it slide.

'Thing is getting more complicated as time passed.' Maria thought to herself.


Same time

USA Airfield Command Center

General Eugene Griffon called a pilot for preparing a special mission which decides the fates of the 398th base.

A pilot was a male in the forties. He has green eyes and black hair in a flight suit carried a helmet. The male pilot approach to General Eugene's office.

"Morning. General Eugene Griffon." The male pilot salute to General Eugene Griffon.

"Morning. Major Ted Bishop. Have a sit." Eugene saluted back before both of them sit down in chairs.

"Do you know why you have been selected?" Eugene asked Ted.

Ted shook his head.

"Your mission is to fly through the earth atmosphere to fire off of our special device that can turn ECA sub-solar into the main solar satellite. You have been selected as you have good-eye coordination among the best pilot we have from this base. Are you up to your job?" Eugene explained the mission to Ted.

"Yes, I am. Sir." Ted accept the mission.

"Good. Just be warned that you have one shot. Make it count. The fate of the 398th depends on you."

"Don't worry. Sir. I will not fail." Ted salute back to Eugene before going off to the airfield.


Ten minutes later

USA Airfield

[Play 'Chasing Inspiration' by Yair Albeg from Demented Sound Mafia]

Ted is inspecting to make sure the F-35A WidowMaker is working in good condition when he noticed the group of air technician bringing it a particular device.

The F-35 is the most widely produced fighter jet of the 21st century, with over 2,000 produced and in use with multiple armed forces worldwide. US military aviators gave the Lightning II the sarcastic nickname "Widowmaker" due to early (and thankfully false) concerns about the aircraft's survivability in contested airspace and troubled development cycle.

Armed with AIM-120 AMRAAMs and AGM-305 joint air to ground missiles, the Widowmaker can capably engage and destroy any possible target.

"What is that?" Ted is curiously asked on the unique device that attracted to his aircraft.

"Well, that the special device for your mission. Make it count. Is the Widowmaker good to go?" The air technician responded.

"Yup. It is good to go. Let get thing start." Ted gives a thumb up to the air technician.

Ted starts to move the Widowmaker on the runway and waiting for Air Control Command to give a green light.

"[COMM] This is Air Command. You are good to go."

"[COMM] Copy that," Ted responded to Air Control Command.

Without hesitant, Ted accelerates the aircraft speed to full speed to launch itself. After launching, Ted flew in the sky for a while before waiting for the High command.


ECA/USA Command Center

"[COMM] This is SkyHawk-1. May I know the coordinate?"

"[COMM] Head toward the coordinate of the Solar Reactor and fly as high as possible. We will tell once it reaches there." General Eugene issue an order.

"[COMM] Roger." Ted immediately proceed to the coordinate.

"Are you sure it will work?" Eugene is wondering that it will work.

"Yes. We did a few tests without launching a single shutter through space a few years ago. It proves to be successful. Trust me." Issara spoke in a confident tone.

"Let hope it works." Eugene pray that this mission is successful. Everyone in the Command Center is anxious as they pay attention to Ted's mission. It is too big to fail.


Earth Atmosphere

"[COMM] Reach earth atmosphere," Ted said to High Command.

"[COMM] Wait for my signal."

"[COMM] Copy that."

Ted is anxious but he still needs to remain calm. As he climbed higher to where the sub-solar satellite is, he prays for his success.

"[COMM] In five..four..three.." Ted holding to his control stick, ready to trigger on High Command signal.

"[COMM] two..one...FIRE!"

As Ted heard the word 'Fire', he immediately squeezes the trigger and shout. "Target Lock. Skyhawk-1. Fox-Three. Fire."

Ted fired the particular device to the deep obit.

"[COMM] Skyhawk-1. RTB." As Ted noticed their fuel is almost depleted in a third left.


In Space

The particular device flew as high as possible toward the sub-solar satellite. As it getting closer, it slowly reaches its main control point. The particular device attracted to the sub-solar satellite by magnetized.


ECA/USA Command Center

Immediately, Issara and her engineers get back to work on activating solar satellite systems.

"Madam, the sub-solar satellite is ready for conversion." One of the engineers replied to Issara after ten minutes of check-up to make sure it is working correctly.

"Activate now," Issara orders her engineer.

The engineer activated and wait for the magic to begin.


In space

The sub-solar satellite clank up its gears and wires spark. Both sides of the solar panel extended their reach and the bottom part extend their tube. The radar point toward the sun and the solar panels collected the solar energy from the sun. Within seconds, solar energy started to fill and extend beam toward the 398th base.


Solar Reactor

In the 398th base, all the base personnel watches the extend beam toward the Solar Reactor once more provide unlimited power. The base personnel cheers and applause loudly that the Solar Reactor is working once more.

The natives are amazed to see that golden light beam into a strange looking building. They thought that 'people in blue' must be worship this kind of god.

"What...the... hell?" Chloe, Violet and her four ex-knights were shocked to see this golden beam of light that comes from heaven and reach the ground.

'Just who are they? Are they god?' Chloe, Violet and her four ex-knights thought to themselves.


Kingdom of Garan

Black Fortress

As Queen Olga preparing for the war, one of the dark elf guards sounds an alarm to her.

"My queen, there is something outside." A dark elf guard alert Olga about something is happening outside the Black Fortress.

"What is it? Is it the cursed Black Dog?" Olga spoke in an annoyed tone.

"No, my queen. You have to come outside. The whole kingdom citizens witness something." The dark elf responded to her replies.

"Urgh. What is so important? Lead the way." Olga still spoked in annoyance.


Outside the Black Fortress

"My queen, there is something up there." The dark elf guard pointed to the direction outside.

Queen Olga was shocked to see the golden light beam from the sky into unknown territory. She quickly changed her expression to a more stoic in order not to show her facial expression.

"Ha. This must be a trick that Goddess employed. Don't be a fool." Olga bluff her guard.

"My queen. What should we do about that thing?" The guard asking for Queen Olga's order.

"That simple. Find that source. I change my mind. Change of plans. Issue a royal command. I will be leading all the troops to that source of light." Olga issue an order.

"Yes, my queen." The dark elf guard obeys her order without question.

As the dark elf guard left to relay the message to her troops, Queen Olga started to the panic of seeing the golden beam. She can't sense any magic yet it shows that mysterious light appears in front of her. Her body started to shake a bit and she almost pees herself.

'What is that thing?' Queen Olga started to feel the real fear toward that light.


Somewhere within Garan

"Boss. There is some strange light outside." One of the mercenaries reports to Vault.

"What?!" Vault shocked and confused about the strange light.

When Vault left the tentages, he could not believe it. A golden beam of light from the sky appears in front of him and his mercenaries.

Kin and Hicks stood by side of Vault.

"What is that thing? Is this Goddess's light?" Hicks started to worry.

Kin, on the other hand, is curious to know about that golden beam of light. 'Hmmm….What is that thing? Interesting. Very interesting.' Kin curiously thought.

"What should we do? Do we have to abandon our plan?" Hick spoke in a worried tone.

"Nonsense. We still follow our plan. Like it or not. We can't lose our opportunity. This golden beam of light shows that the Goddess shrine upon us. So we must fight on" Vault told Kin and his mercenaries.

His mercenaries cheer to Vault's speech and praise him. This raises their morale as the golden light could be a goddess's blessing. Maybe they should take the golden light as a curse soon. Little they know that the god or the goddess of Serenus give a cruel smile as they look down them from heaven.


White Citadel

The capital of Eostia, Ken

War Council

All of the Seven Shield members are discussing the progress of ending the war. They are sitting down with a semi-circle of seven sections with the high queen Celestine Lucross. While they were discussing, one of the female knights interrupted their conversation.

"My queen and princess knights. I am sorry for interrupting but there is something outside."

"What! What kind of nonsense? Is that dark elf scum suddenly invade us?" The female blonde hair knight scoffed at the guard's statement.

"Finally, some action. I want to blunder the dark elf into pulp." The ginger hair little girl happily replied as she itching for a good battle with her massive ax.

"No. I don't think so. They are too far to reach our city. My men are already there toward the Kingdom of Garan." The pink short hair mercenary replied.

"Maybe your Black Dog Mercenaries did not do a good job." The female blonde knight talked back about the Black Dog Mercenaries.

"You. Don't talk back about them." The pink short hair mercenary angrily replied to the female blonde knight.

"Cousin. Don't fight please." The pink long hair princess calms the female blonde knight.

While the rest of them were arguing each other, Queen Celestine stood up and spoke. "We need to take a look."

Claudia agreed with Queen Celestine. "I do agree. There is no harm of finding it ourselves."

All of the Seven Shield members stood up and walked outside. When they reach outside, they were either shocked or astound to see the golden beam of light from the sky. They could not believe their eyes.

"What..What is that thing?"

"Since when is that thing appear?"

"What the hell?"

While they are shocked and gossiping with each other to see this mysterious light appear, the rest of them have a different opinion.

Celestine knew this day will come. 'So they arrive at our world. This dream of mine turns out to be real. I wonder who are they.' Celestine thought to herself.

Claudia could not believe that Celestine's vision come true. Kaguya remains expressionless but in her heart, she started to feel fear. It the same of that vision two months ago.

"What are your order? My queen." One of the female knights awaiting Queen Celestine's order.

"We will go to that source of light." Celestine issue an order.

"What? Are you crazy? Who knows it could be a trap?"

"I agree. It could be an ambush."

While the four of them except the pink hair princess reminded her it was a bad idea to go there, Celestine insists that they will go.

"I insist. Issue my royal command. We will go to that source of light. Take some troops to assist us while traveling to that source of light." Celestine issue an order to her knights and her members with a stern tone.

The rest of them had no choice but to go to that source of light. "Please bring another set of clothes. This time, no obscene clothing and that order." Celestine issue another order to her rest of them are stunned to hear but they obeyed Celestine order without question. Kaguya told Celestine earlier that 'visitor' was unhappy with their traditional clothing. Celestine was puzzled about it but Kaguya convinced her it was the best.

As the rest of them are preparing to travel to the source of light, Claudia walked toward Celestine. "Milady, are you sure you want to see them? What if they hurt us?"

Celestine gave a sad smile. "There one way to find out and that to speak to them."


ECA/ USA alliance finally reveal themselves because of the Solar Reactor. First thing, I don't know why Kaguya come to Eostia for the strange reason. Because of it quite odd to see Kaguya come from another nation. Second, some world building such as the Kingdom of Garan as Nohr from Fire Emblem Fates acting as a reference since both of them have horrible weather condition and militaristic nation.

Queen Olga is doing stupid like in visual novel after badass killing her monster she created or brainwash, she cast on herself to prevent pregnancy. Seriously? A bright powerful magician chose this spell among other spells. *facepalm. Although the manga version is much better than this crap. *Spoiler. The so-called power limit blocked Queen Olga's magic by crafty Kin.* As for Violet and her four ex-knights forcefully strip Chloe, I took the source from another manga, Sasori where it took place in the female prison. There is one chapter somewhere about the mc being forcefully stripped by the female prisoners in her cell including her nether region.

The female is quite a sensitivity in an army camp. For those who don't know, my homeland has two-year conscription. Some of them have a two months reduction from their conscription if they are combat-fit PES A/B1 pre-enlistees, Silver or Gold before enlistment. After two years, they have a ten years reservation or ICT [In camp training.] every year. During my current ICT, my platoon sergeant told me that one of the NSmen [National Service] do a body search on one of the officer. But this time, that officer is female and no one has to do the body search unless another female searches her.

An alternative search is to allow the officer to search herself by empty her pocket compartment and show it to the NSmen. Instead of following the procedure, he asked her to squeeze her tits. So she did but felt uneasy of the NSmen staring at her. So she complained to a higher up and the NSmen end up in Detention Barrack for an unknown term. Even NSmen did not touch her, if any woman felt uneasy and she complains, he is in deep shit and affects his career or his life. And that recently.


Time for some review

Anti-Black Dog: Hope you enjoy this small preview of my new story: 'Lost Battalion in Eostia'

Gentleman: They will get a shock of their life although Celestine is slightly prepared for this. The modern soldiers were independent individuals so it is going to surprise them in the future.

They will but not so soon.

This is going to be tricky because their mindset was remarkably different. Some of the Seven shields members are very protective so their relationship could be complicated. My writing on romance could be suck but I tried to fit in if possible.

Perseus12: They can if they want to since Solar Reactor is activated. They can see Eostia through their satellite but don't know their name of the location. As for the Seven Shield Alliance, it depends on who they deal with. If Alicia, well...good luck. The other will be okay if they stay away from other related stuff.

Olga will NOT negotiate ECA /USA forces to get Chloe back. If she did, she already has done with Celestine a long time ago. ;)

It not going to be easy. Although ECA/ USA alliance are not interested in their affair, their camp has some natives in it and later dark elf resides, then tension occur. Even Eostia want peace, the Seven Shield Alliance bickering among themselves and hostile toward the Kingdom of Garan. But for Black Dog Mercenaries, that a different story. They will be getting a taste of their advanced weaponry.

EnriksD8: Thanks. I hope you don't mind with some grammar mistakes.

sonic: Okay thanks. I guess?

The next chapter will be featured on Queen Olga's downfall on her kingdom. Possible seeking refuge from ECA/ USA Alliance. Maybe it some graphic chapter. I will be seeing you next time. Peace out.
