ELECTUS

Asked Zar"s Personal a.s.sistant after Zar left the Town center and made his way up to his Castle again.

Zar didn"t feel the need to explain to his subjects why Ma.s.sacring and raping innocent people is bad.

Yet he couldn"t blame them.

The Chapels of the illas have convinced the people rather well that Ignites are Demons from the depths of h.e.l.l.

"Much like the fact that my Grandfather isn"t a G.o.d, ignites aren"t demons. This was all the plans of Xakro ill.u.s.tratio l."

Zar thought.

"Seer. I"m going to ask you a question. Use your logic here with me. Don"t be short sighted like the common folk."

Told Zar to his a.s.sistant.

"According to the history books, the second Era started in Ignis when the war between Ignites and ill.u.s.tratios ended.

They all settled in to co exist."

"Right, but there were minor groups of people in our motherland who were ignites and the majority was illl.u.s.tratios."

"Exactly. And the other way around here, Occidentis Ignis. There used to be more Ignites here with small groups of ill.u.s.tratios as well.

But they co existed while most prefered their actual motherland."

"What is your point sire?"

"If they were able to co exist in harmony for hundreds of years before the third era started, why did everything change once my GrandFather killed the Electus on her own Castle?"

"Because he took her powers. To use them for good. To kill Ignites."

"Exactly. That"s what the books say. But if the Electus didn"t kill innocent citizens, and even threatened two countries(Septemtrionis Ignis and Orientis Ignis) to remain neutral with our motherland(Meridionali Ignis), how exactly did she use her powers for bad?

If not anything, she prevented the Snow Ignite uprising. They would have eaten up Meridionali Ignis if it wasn"t for Akareas. They weren"t in the same alliance as us."

"Ignites and Snow Ignites didn"t co existed with each other. Not to mention ill.u.s.tratios."

"Exactly. Snow Ignites could have swallowed the continent. The Electus kept everything together. My GrandFather killed the Electus, launched an attack in Orientis Ignis, then Septemtrionis Ignis, leaving the Snow Ignites scattering around caves and ruins, and then attacked Occidentis Ignis.

Why weren"t the Ignites demons before that attack?"

"I..i suppose. Well. I mean. I think…"

"There is nothing to think. The Ignites aren"t demons.

If anything, we would consider Xakro a demon. He had magical powers, and so did his son and grandson.

Do you think the Grand King is a demon?"

"Of course not sire. He is a hero."

"A hero. No. But not a devil either.

Magical powers don"t have to do anything with h.e.l.l. It"s just Propaganda my GrandFather payed priests to doo."

"You might have a point Sire. But as that fool from Crutal Kingdom said, leaving the ill.u.s.tratian alliance will leave you vulnerable to attacks. Do you really think you have what it takes to withstand possible attacks from dozens of Kingdoms?"

"Pameres Kingdom is the only place who has people to spare.

I got word that the Snow Ignites are revolting. I"m not certain of the situation but all i do know is that they invaded the Capital Kingdom and beheaded every ill.u.s.tratio in that Capital Kingdom."

"The Snow Ignites revolted?! How! They lost every Kingdom. They can"t simply attack the Capital Kingdom and win."

"I"m not certain of the whole situation. But somehow they were able to withstand many attacks after claiming the Kingdom.

Leaving the attacking Kingdoms without soldiers."

"To attack the Capital and win is one thing. But to withstand many attacks. There must be something more to this!"

"There might be. I"m not certain. But all the people our motherland had to spare, where sent to Septemtrionis Ignis.

If my father or any other Kingdom here choses to attack the most populated Kingdom in Occidentis Ignis, they would need to consider the losses that even the Capital Kingdom in our motherland can"t provide help for."

"The Capital Kingdom in our Motherland had over 20000 ill.u.s.tratios living on it. Not to mention the other Kingdoms having a decent amount of population as well. How could they not help?"

"Have you forgotten the 100 year long civil war.

Many ill.u.s.tratios died while fighting Kingdoms still not giving in to the revolution.

Who do you think provided us with more soldiers? Our work on Occidentis ignis would have collapsed if Meridionali Ignis didn"t help us."

"It"s been a hundred years since we declared Victory upon Occidentis Ignis. Our population started spreading well before that kid almost forced Crutal Kingdom to a collapse."

"Indeed. Meridionali Ignis sent all the Soldiers they could spare to Septemtrionis ignis. Otherwise my father wouldn"t bother asking me for help.

If they help my father or any kingdom who attacks Pameres Kingdom and fails, they would risk damaging their own economy in a long scale."

"Crutal Kingdom lost over 900 people because of that kid, our sources confirm he is the Electus.

Whoever he is, because of him Crutal Kingdom is no longer the Capital Kingdom of Occidentis Ignis.

They had over 3000 people living there, now they have below 2100 while our Kingdom has over 2500 thanks to all of the Gaster Kingdom refugees."

"The Electus is indeed a powerful boy. I"m sure my father already has plans for him, otherwise he wouldn"t send that fool to Lan Zhe.

I have a goal. To help Ignis turn back at what it used to be and even better.

To achieve those goals. I need the a.s.sistance of the Electus."
