Chaor POV:
I only awaken from my sleep when Agitos didn't lose time and bother me in the throne room.
"What is it?" I ask Annoyed.
"Well...Since you took care of Van Bloot. It's time for me to respect Samael wish and I'll give you his heritage."
"? I've inherit more than the throne?" I ask surprise.
"Yes. I've give you this small book." Says Agitos as he showed a book.
"A book?" I ask.
"Yes...you're father has so much to say to you that it turns out in a book. I'll suggest you'll read it. In this book, you're heritage rest here." Says Agitos as he gets out of the throne room.
"Alright I'll read it." I say annoyed. I didn't need him to tell that to me.
I enter in my personal room to read his journal. I open it and I begin to read:
"Dear Chaor, if you read this, then I'm dead and you put Bloot at your feet...If not then keep you head out of this journal and stop searching in my things!"
I stop reading for a second. This was so much like him. I continue reading:
I've writing this journal so you'll know some secret of our family that I learn the hard way. Also, I want you to know the lives I've live. You know only half of me and it's really hot today. Sorry, back on topic; let me tell you about my life.
My name is Samael...which you already know. I was born 101 years ago. I never knew my mother because she died when I was born. I shall explain the reason later. When I was young I was already a lunatic underworlder. The underworld was still in a bad state, my father as problems to rebuild his power because he meets lot of opposition. This is when I meet Agitos. We were the same age...no...He was 8 years older than me. He wasn't strong, but he was smart. I already see in him a bright future by my side.
I stop reading again. I sigh. My father was lunatic, but he was good with his plan in the long term.
Agitos is a good friend of mine so take good care of him. He was smarter than me...We were good friend and we talk about politics, his current situation and the future of the underworld. We concluded that great change and preparation is needed. I already knew I won't be the one that will give everything the underworld lost. I knew it would be you. All I did was for you my son. I wish you will succeed and play the right cards. Do not worries, Agitos will make sure of it! When I was 42 years, your grand-father die, assassinate by Van Bloot father Golbert Bloot. But he dies shortly after this when an eruption occurs at where he was and he perishes. After my father's dead, he leaves me a letter telling about the fate of the mother in our family...I'll tell you about this later.
I then take the throne and I proceed with project: Armada. Even Agitos doesn't know about this plan since only you will choose who to use it. 2 Years later I meet your mother, Lilith. She was beautiful and powerful at the same time. My heart beat only for her since then. It took me many months before she accept to talk to me and even more for her to fall in love with me.
I read the section that explains the time of his reign while hanging out with my mother until he gives me another annex.
Just between you and me, you inherit her hot temper and her red skin. The rest...you got it from me.
I marry her and we were commanding the underworld side by side until she was pregnant 36 years ago.
I must warn you I erase the date since time pass and pass and rewrite the correct year.
Then I got you and she died when you were born. I'll explain the reason at the end because I think you have a war in mind.
So true, I thought.
In the next page, I left a ruby with the symbol of the underworld. You must take it with you and show it to Khybon. He'll take you to the project armada and you'll find your heritage. I think you'll close the book and go there now so I wish you'll use your inheritance well.
...I did as he told me. I turn the page and take the ruby. I then stand up and move to Khybon workshop alone
10h40
I was near Khybon workshop and I hear him talking inside. I decide to...listen a little before entering.
"So...How are you holding up?" It was Khybon voice.
"I'm better. Thanks for asking." Says a human female voice.
"You come here lest often. Why?"
"Because I have to be stronger...You can feel it too right? Since his declaration the atmosphere is intense and war his near. I have to be ready for my contribution."
"But your power is healing. You don't have any offensive spell." Countered Khybon with worries.
"I know. But if those spells are stronger, the soldier will be back for battle faster than the other tribe...But I what I need most his endurance so I can cast more healing spell than before. Also, I can defend myself." The woman says with a smile.
"Alright. Show it to me." Says Khybon teasing the woman.
"Alright. Bring it!" She answers.
I hear some loud sound and after a few second I hear Khybon cries:
"ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! I GIVE UP! Dammit! 4 arms and none of them could help me."
I decide to enter now and I saw the result.
The female human was sitting on Khybon's back who was trap on the ground. She saw me and she let Khybon stand up. He was looking at me in shame before asking:
"Chaor...What brings you here?"
"...You've lost against a human." I comment.
"I...was just getting easy on her." He answers me.
The woman looks at him, but she doesn't react.
"I heard you shouting «4 arms and none of them could help me. »." I answer.
Khybon find nothing to say and he gave up with his excuse.
"As for your question, I came with this." I then show him the ruby. Khybon suddenly turns serious and say:
"Catherine, come back tomorrow, I'll be really busy right now."
"Alright." Catherine then gets out of the shop.
"So the time has come. Follow me overlord." Says Khybon.
I follow him outside and we get out of the city. Near there, there was a high mountain or a volcano blocking our way. Khybon then move closer to the wall of rocks and do something I fail to see. Then the wall opens like a door.
"Your heritage is inside." He says.
We enter in the passage and we walk until we reach a metallic door.
"Before we enter, I have to say that operation: Armada has been successful and we have done more than your father objective was. Ulmar and I build all of what's inside this door until we get...extra help from a genius in construction."
"What did you build?" I Ask.
"We build you this!" Says Khybon as he opens the door
My mouth was wide open. I see...Thousands and thousands of battlegears. There was enough for 5 or 6 consecutive wars.
"Impress I see. We've a lot in so much time and we are proud of the result. Of course, they are all functional." Adds Khybon.
"Do the other tribes know about this?" I ask.
"No...We've made sure that no one ever sees this or have any suspicion." Khybon answers.
"Who was the extra hand?" I ask.
"Well..." Khybon was hesitant.
"I'm here!" I was a female voice. She came down from an incomplete battlegear and she came in front of me. It's a female human. She has dark hair like the color of her flesh. She appears to be at the same or a little older than Kazdan. She wears black clothes and long pants which mean the high temperature of the underworld doesn't bother her. Her eyes are brown and show a very strong personality. "What can I do for you overlord?"
"You are the extra hand?" I say in disbelief.
"Yes. I'm the extra hand, if you are not happy than it's too bad for you because I'm here and I'll stay here." She says without fear.
"I just...wasn't expecting a human." I say. Dammit, I was caught by her strong words.
"It's alright. I'm just here for 2 years so I didn't do much as them, but I'm here to build anything than can help you my lord." She says.
"As long as you do your job I don't care." I answer recovered from her first counter argue.
"That's all I need to know. By the way, if you want to know my name, it's Nathalie. I have to finish this battlegear so see you later." She then returns continuing her job.
"...She's a tough woman." Says Khybon.
"I can see that. This is my heritage." I say. Then I think I've smile at a future victory. "I'll make good use of it."
"You already know what to do with it." Says Khybon more like a confirmation of something obvious than a question.
"Yes. With this much fire power, the overworld won't resist for long...and we'll break the wall of Kiru city that protect them for thousands of planetary flow."
"You think we can do it?" Asks Khybon with disbelief. It was normal after all, during all of the time since this city as those walls, no tribe have pass them.
"Under my command we will pass those walls and conquer Kiru city." I say with absolute confidence.
"We'll finish the last battlegear and do a last check Chaor." Says Khybon showing trust about our future victory.
"Do this!" I say.
"I also hear that the mipedian tribes are very watchful." Says Nathalie from her spot. "I guess something bad happen to them, but I'm not sure what.
"If they increase their vigilance then they are in a weak state...hum...Then we'll attack both tribes." I say.
"What!" Says Khybon. "You are sure? I don't want to-"
"I won't make the same mistake as my ancestor." I cut him. "I'll use the mipedian for my average. After all, under the command of their king Theeb-Saar, we have no chance of victory. But if it is Van Bloot who attack them."
"Then he'll lose all authority for the rest of his life...You're a genius." Says Khybon.
"Count me in." Says Nathalie. "I'm ready for anything."
"When will you finish your preparation?" I ask.
"How many battlegear will you use?" Asks Khybon.
"I'll choose them...I think we'll use just one thousand. The rest will be for a later war. Also, put ¼ of them for the protection of the underworld exclusively." I order.
"Then we'll be ready in one Celeste moon." Says Khybon.
"Maximum of course." Says Nathalie.
"Good." I say. The Overworlder and the mipedian won't know what will fall on them.
AC: This chapter is done. Consider this as a prequel for the future event in this war. This is the last chapter with the Underworld before the war.
It seems not good for the other tribes. A great armada and they don't know it's existence.
