Ch13: A Cause With No Effect
Unknown, Mewni
June 9, 2019
The clouds covered all of Mewni like a blanket, they were dark and fast but intimidating moving with purpose. I got up and headed inside our HQ in the caves on the outskirts of the Mewni Castle. I walked in and the first thing i always see is the reason i fight for my home...a bright red sun. The Knights of Mewni fighting for there home and people that were taken from us by force.
"Kalex!" I turned around hearing my name being called by Ajax one of the Knights of Mewni, he's a great warrior specializing in heavy combat. Slow moving but packs a huge punch, he's pretty much the tank of the group. "Your not going to believe who showed up" He looked at me with a surprised expression in his face. I followed him to the entrance of our HQ, Thousands of people joined our cause once we showed them who we were they surprisingly knew who we were. Lucky for us they were rebels who wished to have the throne replaced and taken from Butterfly control, and all they needed was a leader to guide them...and that's were i came in. I walked past Alex another one of our Knights. He's more of the balanced type of fighter not focusing on one certain aspect of combat, he's known in the group as the strategist. O'Ryan was next to the door waiting for us. O'Ryan another member was the aggressive but silent one, he's always quiet but when he's pissed he lets you know about it. His fighting style is focused on speed and acrobatic combat using all of his energy on short bursts of combat. "You didn't tell him, Right?" O'Ryan asked Alex. "No i think he should see this for himself, after all they didn't end there last encounter on a good note, question is how did she find us?" Hearing speak confused me...what was it they wanted me to see?. O'Ryan signaled me to open the door while speaking to Alex. "Well its not a surprise she is one of us" I opened the door and was meet with a slap across the face.
Ajax and O'Ryan snickered "Yeah i probably should've warned you about that" Ajax said. I looked up and saw Lesa standing there with an expression that said a thousand words that weren't so pleasant. Lesa was another one of us, here fighting style was abstract though, unpredictable but effective...she was also someone i would lay my life for...and a childhood friend.
"Lesa!? How did you find this place" She walked in ignoring my question. She sat at the nearest table and put a letter in front of her.
"Lets have a talk Kal" I nodded and sat across from her. Alex, O'Ryan, and Ajax all sat down. "Been awhile huh?" Lesa looked at me confused. "Since we all got together" Lesa shook her head "Its a shame we fight on opposite sides, your fighting a losing battle Kal" Lesa grabbed the note and tossed it at me, i picked it up and looked at the front, it read 'Mewni Postal, To Kalex Sol From Queen Moon'. "What's this ?" Alex asked. "An invitation...Queen Moon wants to negotiate" I looked at her not surprised at the slightest. "When" I asked Lesa. Lesa got up and stood next to me. "Well if you opened it you'll know" She began walking away before i grabbed her hand. "I'm not trying to start a war, I'm trying to take back our home that was wrongfully taken from us...you're fighting for the same family that took it from us!" Lesa glared at me jerking her hand away. "If your father knew what you were doing would he approve? Ask yourself that" I stood up walking towards her. "He said to protect each other and our home, I'm fighting for our cause" Lesa walked up to me pissed. "You fight for a cause with out an effect, if you win no good will come from it...i know you want Senaz back...but please all i want is peace after living a lifetime of death. I lost you once" She grabbed my collar and rested her head on my chest. "I don't want to lose you again...not again...please you matter to me to much...you're all i have left" She walked away and i stood there not knowing what to do our say. I looked at the invitation and it read June 10. I looked at Alex. Despite always having an emotionless face had a shocked expression.
"What's the move Alex?" He looked at the note in my hand and then looked at me. "As much as i might regret saying this later, this choice is up to you." I looked at the note and played all the possible outcomes in my head. I agreed with myself...I'm going...all of us are going.
"We're all going...this my be our last chance to get what we want without bloodshed". Ajax shook his head. "Coming from the guy who tried to assassinate the Queen" I glared at him. "I didn't! It was a message...that the Knights of Mewni have returned...i knew Lesa would've caught it" I turned around and held the note close, i didn't want to go to war but if i needed to i would've...but the note gave me another option. Senaz was my home not there's my father fought to protect it and father like son i'll be damned if it was taken from us. Ajax, Alex and O'Ryan all looked at me...they had my back and throughout the toughest times they always did what they had to do to succeed. Knowing that I always felt at ease. "We leave around dawn, everyone sleep well tonight" I walked to my chair at the end of our HQ and watched as my people prepared for peace...and War.
