Chapter 4: Two Friends

"Alex, are you all right? For three hours, you've been unconscious, Ron remarked.

"What's the point of visiting the Sphere Kingdom?" Alex enquired

The Blaze Country is essentially doomed, Ron said, "since Octavius suddenly attacked our kingdom out of the blue and King Reiden betrayed us."

"I want to get revenge on Octavius and Reiden since they slaughtered my family," stated Alex.

Ron stated, "Alex, you are not the only one whose family was murdered; our families were also murdered and we want vengeance as well, but this is not the ideal time since they are very strong and have a great army,"

"Reiden killed my father in front of me and I can't do anything, he defended me from them but I can't do anything to protect him," sobbed Alex as he knelt and sobbed.

"Mother!! Mother!!, Hey Ron, tell them to turn the boat toward the Blaze Kingdom so that I may defend my mother who will still be alive because she wasn't with us in the fight. Alex cried out with anguish.

"I'm sorry to let you know Alex, but your mother also perished in the attack," Ron remarked.

"How is that possible, Ron? Ron, turn the boat so I may save her because I know in my heart she is still alive and must be calling." Too much sobbing, Alex complained.

"I'm sorry, Alex. I saw your mother's body in your home, where she was lying dead, so I know she's passed away," Ron said.

After hearing that Alex lost control and fell onto the boat, he was upset once more; his eyes grew red, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Alex!! Snap out of it, buddy, we'll exact our retribution, wait on," Ron said.

"Alex!! This is not the time to be sad because we must exact our retribution. Do you believe that your father saved you because he loved you and gave his life to protect you? If so, then you must be strong and stand up because then we will retake The Blaze Kingdom from Octavius and murder him. Regarding Ron

Then your father will be embarrassed by you, Ron continued if you continue to sob like a baby.

After hearing Ron's words, Alex stopped crying and became enraged at Octavius and Reiden throughout his entire body.

"I'll kill them all," yelled Alex in a fit of rage.

Ron answered, "Yeah, we will, but for now, keep calm and sit here."

Alex sat on the boat.

"Ron, how many passengers are there in this boat? " Alex enquired

"12 people made it," Ron said.

"How come just 12 individuals made it, but what happened to the rest?" Alex enquired

The Royal Bloods and Octavius had to capture a lot of individuals, but over 80% of them perished in the assault, Ron claimed.

"But how did the entire Kingdom fall so quickly when Octavius merely targeted our city?" Alex enquired

Because our town Lenora served as the Blaze Kingdom's capital and is home to the King's castle, Ron explained, "We are the only ones left Alex because, by the time Octavius attacked us, he had already destroyed the rest of the towns."

"How did you escape them, Alex? Since you claim to be with them on the battlefield, but I discovered you in this boat," stated Ron.

"What? I thought you guys saved me from the battlefield because I passed out on the battlefield and Octavius also broke my right arm, so how did you discover me in this boat? "Alex replied.

Suddenly, Alex's shattered arm isn't hurting and it appears as if someone has already healed it.

Ron remarked, "But your arms seem good to me."

"But Octavius shattered my arm, as I recalled, and when he attempted to kill me, I passed out. What transpired after that? What kept me alive?" Alex said

Suddenly, Ron grabbed Alex's hand and said, "I'm so sorry for leaving you behind. I had no idea you were alive, and I should have looked for you more because you're the only friend I have. I hope you'll forgive me, Alex, and know that when I found you in this boat, I was so relieved." Ron expressed regret to Alex.

"Don't be so hard on yourself; you've saved my life numerous times, so don't worry; I will always think of you as my best friend," Alex said

We shall always be together, thank you, Alex," Ron remarked.

"How, though, did I enter this boat? Who healed me and rescued me? " Alex said

Don't worry too much about Alex, Ron advised. "The man who saved you must be someone close to your father or your family."

"Your parents passed away, too, Ron?" Alex enquired

"I'm not sure, but I want my father to pass away," Ron remarked

"What do you mean by that?" Alex enquired

"Because he killed my mother and tried to kill me too, but I managed to get away because of my mother," Ron said

When Alex heard that, he was astonished because he knew Ron's father Edward well. Edward was a commander in the King's army, but he was also a good man who frequently risked his life to defend the Kingdom. He was one of the strongest commanders the Kingdom had, Yet Ron's statements about Edward changed everything.

"Ron, why did he betray you?" Alex enquired

"I don't want to know anything, for now, I only have one goal, I will be stronger than him and I will kill him by myself, my mother was pregnant with another child and he could have saved us but he killed my mother and the child and abandoned me, I will never forgive him for what he did, No matter what, I'm going to murder him! Ron stated

"We will kill everyone who betrayed our kingdom. I'm sorry, Ron. I didn't realize you were going to be a brother soon, and your father did that to you and your mother." Alex remarked

Thanks, Alex, we'll do that, Ron said.

Alex questioned, "How many days would it take us to reach the Sphere Kingdom?"

Ron explained, "We are in Narrow Seas, the Seas Connect Two Kingdoms, It Will Take Time and We Not Going Straight to the Sphere Kingdom."

So, where are we headed? Asked by Alex

Ron stated, "We are going to Rose Town to meet someone and he will then take us to the Sphere Kingdom."

"Why we are going to sphere Kingdom and whom we are meeting in Rose Town?" Alex asked

"We are meeting a friend of mine who will help us to get into the sphere Kingdom," Ron said

"But why the Sphere Kingdom? We should go to Aqua Kingdom because that is the nearest kingdom." Alex said

"The Aqua Kingdom was already perished by Octavius and the Queen of Aqua Kingdom got murdered by him because she refused to join hands with Octavius," Ron said

"What!!! But the Aqua Kingdom had Water power users and I heard their queen Augusta was the strongest then how did she get murdered so easily?" Alex asked

"Octavius had achieved something that no one ever achieved so he is invincible and for that power, Queen Augusta was beaten by him easily," Ron said

"What power he had right now?" Alex asked
