Chapter 21: "Resistance Assistance"
"So,Should we try to find that "Golden Computer" Harvard mentioned?" Kupa asked as she read through the letter herself.
"Did you not read the words "Deep into the territories of Gladya's influence"? We'd have to go right to the source." Grayson said,as he poured water into the flowerpot.
"Well duh,And how else do you get something at the source? You go through it. Let's liberate the region!" Kupa cheers,"And we have the weakness of the Enders! We've got this!" She adds with an adorable sparkle to her eyes.
Grayson sighs...
Those fuckin' eyes...
"All right,no more running. So,miss Resistance leader,Where to first?" Grayson asked with a slight tone of reluctance.
"Get your map." Kupa said,grabbing a pen,as Grayson retrieved his map.
As soon as Grayson returned and opened his map of the region,Kupa marks out numerous spots peppered all over the map with fortress symbols.
Miner's End Prison was indicated with a cage toward the bottom left corner of the map,"This here,is Miner's End. A horrible place to end up in,because it both houses the worst and best people,many of which who also planned resistance and failed."
Kupa indicates the fortress symbols
"These are all of Gladya's strongholds that retain troops,armor,wepons,etcetera. Take those out you can start choking their areas of influence."
Kupa marks out the major cities,as well as smaller villages uncorrupt by Gladya's work. "These are safe places,for the most part. When you open up the region these smaller villages will be able to expand."
She marks 4 large unique mob themed skulls toward the center of the map. "These are Gladya's Generals. If my hunch is correct,the computer is somewhere beyond that square."
She points to a skull with crossed arrows,"This is General Kell,an embassador for the half Skeleton humans running around. Normally she is an all-round fair fighter,though lately,since your arrival she as began to show a much worse side of herself. If we want to keep the peace she needs to be kept alive."
Next she points out a skull with a Witch's hat,"This General Ward,Gladya's royal Witch and ambassador to Magic users. She is a bad nut,as in,REALLY bad. While I do highly recommend you don't kill her,there is a chance you'll have to take her down,or we will have a worse pandemic on our hands than JUST a hive mind."
Kupa almost reluctantly points out a creeper themed skull,"Since my mother's disappearance,her kingdom has selected a Greencoat aligned with Gladya,General Kalus. To me and my family she's a criminally insane tyrant who couldn't lead a child through a kiddie pool,and is delusional on the concepts of grandeur and privilege. She is the real danger,especially since her influence on other Greencoats seems quite powerful,but highly fragile and based on an actor of a leader."
"So what do I do about her? With her current position of power I'll lose my life trying to ascend the stairs." Grayson asked.
"Fighting her would lead to a second War of Krubis. You'll have to convince her to resign,or brutally sabotage her public standing.
Lastly she draws a very large skull and crossbones at the center,"And lastly the apex of this dreaded war...Either The End Titan,or Gladya herself. If we go for Gladya,we have the chance to end this fight,and restore balance,though considering myself knowing what I do,if Gladya dies,the End Titan will destroy the computer or tear the entire region apart looking for it.
If we take down the End Titan,you can go home,and we will finish the war ourselves." Kupa finished,looking to Grayson for affirmation.
He nods gently,"Understood. We've got our plan,sort of. Now what?"
"Well,We can always start by liberating villages from Gladya's influence. Surely a few Bows for Hire would lend a hand." Kupa said with much certainty.
"For the moment,WHO in this world could possibly support my help? Gladya has tighter security than Fort Knoxx after being robbed of it's ENTIRE wealthy pile,after all."
"We can manage. While Gladya will be taking up her time hunting you,we can liberate the smaller villages. Once you take out one wooden block,the tower is likely to fall if we pick the right one." Kupa said.
"So,Should we go back to Village Umbris?" Grayson asked,pointing to a village that looked familiar,shallow in Gladya's territory.
"I suppose...It would be risky,but we would be off to an incredibly well footed start." Kupa explains.
"How do you know all of this?"
Kupa gestures to her outfit.
"Right...I keep forgetting..."
Grayson yells out in pain,grasping his head with his prosthetic hand-
Flashes of a dark skinned male,with a gold eye and a purple eye..
Flashes of a liar's memories...
And a crowd feeding energy to the male.
grayson....
Grayson...
"GRAYSON!!" Kupa yelled,bringing Grayson back into the real world...
He rubbed his head,"W-what..happened..?"
"You tell me!" Kupa quickly responded.
"its nothing good.." Grayson said,leaning on the map table,chills running up and down his spine.
"A...King has been selected..." He manages to get out.
Kupa approached Grayson worriedly,gently taking his hands and gently gasping,his human hand was almost ice cold...
"What...King are you taking about..?" Kupa asked.
"The End King." Grayson said,looking to her.
Grayson's phone emits an alert
ALARM-8:30 PM
"Nightfall...Nothing we can do for now. K-kupa,lets just go to bed,alright? Maybe that will clear my head..."
Kupa nods,beginning to escort Grayson to bed,and once comfortable,she blows out the candle that sat nearby,"Get some rest,sweet knight. A long and hard road awaits us.."
Grayson began to fall asleep...
"My king,something concerns me.."
"Hm?"
"What if the boy goes to sleep and sees through your eyes?"
"I would know."
The mismatched eyes of 'The End King' appear in Grayson's dreamish vision.
"And i will find him when he does."
Fear began to fill Grayson's chest,as the eyes stared at him,followed by many more.
"And now we are all. Watching. You. I hope you are ready,boy. I am coming. Gladya is coming. You'll wish you never dreamt tonight."
Grayson finally woke,it was a very early morning,the sun hadnt even come over the horizon yet..
"Even the fucking world won't let me sleep..." Grayson sighs,laying in bed and messing around on his phone to pass the time some.
As the sun finally broke the horizon,Grayson resumed his typical schedule. He briefly looked over the resistance map,which had been left out.
He rolls it up for now,putting it away to be used for later..
A knock emits from the front door. "Ya know for this being the unmapped edge of the world there sure are a lot of people on my doorstep.." He mutters as he heads to the front door.
He opens it to reveal Alex,a little scratched up,but alright. 'Grayson. We need to talk. Is Kupa awake?' Alex signed.
