Crystalline fires- Script

```
Chapter 1: Elles

```

```
  "The world, first of all, was nothing but dead landscapes of ashes, fire, clay and darkness. With this vision, the goddess felt unpleasant before it and then the woman was molded. The woman would be allowed to live and prosper in this world while worshipping her creator. And so they did. Centuries and centuries passed, the science and technology developed in that time began to overwrite the deeds of their goddess, causing the woman to forget her creator. And this revolted her, sweeping everyone off the surface of that world and starting all over again, but this time she gave birth to the devil, to keep the human species weak, hungry, war and disease. And then came the Son of the Goddess, who felt pity and pain.

```

```
  He stole the crystalline fire from the Mother and gave it to the woman to defend herself, with this she punished the humans again, creating more races that would have the only purpose of turning human life into a torment, the Son witnessing this, did what he thought would be right, murdering the Mother while creating the races, letting them all fall from his hand and fall into the world, without the purpose of tormenting humanity, but the goddess in her final words cursed the Son to be a nameless creature who would die of darkness before all the creatures of that world

```

```
  But when he realized this, he only managed to have enough strength to be able to take the remains of bodies of all the races he managed to find and the eyes of his Mother, to gather them all into one being, a being that is a remnant of all those races...the strange thing is that...apparently...I am this remnant that he created...''

```

```
   Chillarai wakes up on the street bench of Elles and mumbles

```

-That dream again? I'm already tired of staring at this middle-aged guy in the dark.

```
He gets up and checks if his travel bag is still with him and his equipment and realizes that he woke up very early.

```

-I'm glad I woke up at least at the time I wanted, ok... I'll remember what I'll have to say when I get to the queen here.

```
  And then he starts his walk in the street towards the chamber of the kingdom, repeating several times the phrase he had to memorize to introduce himself to Queen Arielon Dec, the most recent queen of that kingdom. But while Chillarai mentally repeated his lines, people preparing their tents for the daily fair, carrying their goods and walking there, have their strange looks turned to Chillarai.

```

-'Tsc... I can't concentrate with everyone looking at me, although I've already received these weird looks in the two kingdoms I've been through.

```
 Although he still has a tattered cloak hiding half of his face, it was not enough to hide his crooked walk and still his remarkable and weird seams around the mouth and cheek.

```

-'Let's go soon if I don't end up having some stupid problem.

```
  Chillarai rushes his staggering walk.

```

```
 After a while, he sees himself in front of the gates of the royal chamber, the place where the queen was, and then when opening the gates, 2 guards block Chillarai with ornamented halberds and simple but robust armors, and say synchronously:

```

-What do you want in this traveling camera?

-huh... I wish to send a message to the majesty Arielon Dec.

-Do you wish to interact with your majesty at this moment?

-Yes-yes...

-Then you will have to pass our test to prove that you have the honor and strength to speak with your majesty!

```
 Chillarai, confused and angry, he says:

```

-What is it? What is this nonsense?

-The test will be a fall of arm against the 3 best warriors of the Ellian army.

-Ah... Well, it seems to be simpler than I thought, ok, good as bread! let's go then?

```
 And each guard opens a half of the steel gate adorned with the emblem of a lion fighting against a dragon, Chillarai then comes across a reception hall, walls with gaps and the ceiling decorated with paintings of images with wars and victories of Elles against the orcs, his most brutal and persistent enemy, the guards draw Chillarai's attention from the beautiful paintings.

```

-These are they.

```
 3 people line up next to each other, the third is the soldier who fought and killed the most orcs in Zweiher's war, Lamu Visai, the one in the middle would be the knight with more self esteem than the entire kingdom and they say he never lost a duel, Ra Suya Mariyadhai, and finally the last person, who would be the queen's left arm and the coldest knight of Elles, Kulir.

```

```
  And then Chillarai says:

```

-Wow, that's the most exotic arm fall I've ever taken part in.

```
  The 3 warriors and Chillarai go to the side of the reception room and arrive in a specific room where there are 3 steel supports, with 3 leather straps in each one, would be one for each warrior. The 3 warriors then settle in their respective supports, Chillarai would have to choose which he would go first.

```

-Hmmm... I think I'll go withmm... the red bearded guy there.

```
  Lamu laughs and mocks:

```

-HUH? I WILL GO FIRST? LOST THE FEAR, BOY?

-Nah I just want to start with you to warm me up.

-HAHAHAH! SO LET'S GO NOW!.

```
  Chillarai a little irritated by Lamu's screaming because his sensitive ears are hurting, sit before him and fix his right arm on the support and Lamu does the same, Lamu was a man with very robust facial aspects, some scars and small dark eyes. The judge starts the count.

```

-1...

-2...

```
 Lamu's rough and thick hand and Chillarai's hand meet...

```

-3!

```
   Chillarai feels the pressure of an Orquean force, and his hand is a few centimeters from the table, but something stopped this fall, Chillarai's right arm suddenly begins to gain muscle mass, tearing the cloth that was wrapped in his arm. And the arms leveled in strength, making Lamu feel an effort not to weaken his arm, Chillarai feels that the forces were leveled and thought:

```

-'time for some action!''

```
   Chillarai makes even more strength and 2 seconds later... Lamu felt the back of his hand completely pressed on the steel of the table, and the judge makes an X with his arms and shouts:

```

-STOP! The winner is CHILLARAI!

```
  Suya is very surprised and excited with the victory, Kulir barely looked at the scene and was only without expression.

```

```
 Chillarai then withdraws from Lamu's support normally and whispers something to himself and already going to Kulir's support, but Lamu is astonished and holds his own hand, which is sore because of the pressure of Chillarai's right hand and he thinks to himself:

```

-'what the hell just happened?

```
  Now it would be his turn to go against Kulir, when he sits down, Kulir doesn't even look at Chillarai, she was beautiful, long black hair, her face thin and inexpressive, and dark blue eyes even more, she extends her arm and Chillarai does the same again, the mood was getting tense when the judge started to count:

```

-1...

-2...

```
 Kulir's cold, hard hand and Chilla's right hand meet...

```

-3!!

```
The arms of the 2 have not yet moved an inch, this is because the 2 are waiting for the chance of an initial surprise pressure, Suya gets anxious and starts to move his leg, and who took the initiative was Kulir, who gave a pressure that Chilla did not expect, his right arm soon begins to gain muscle mass, but Kulir weakens his arm on purpose to fool this mysterious growth, totally unbalancing his right arm:

```

-Tsc...

```
 Chilla fixes his position and Kulir maintains a pressure that increases little by little and goes lowering Chilla's arm closer and closer to the steel of the table, but he doesn't give up and adopts a strategy, he puts all the strength at once in his arm and pushes her arm completely and the muscle mass grows equalizing and...the judge screams:

```

-STOP! Kulir's hand scraped on the table! The winner is CHILLARAI!

-Uffa! That was much more trouble than I thought.

-hhm...

```
 Kulir answers coldly with a light and almost invisible smile. Chillarai thought to himself:

```

-''how could she have been so observant as to notice the behavior of my right arm's gift?

```
 END OF CHAPTER.

```

```
 [NEXT CHAPTER: SUYA VS CHILLARAI! WHO WOULD WIN? THE MOST SELF ESTEEMED ARM OR THE MYSTERIOUS RIGHT ARM?]

```

```

```

Chapter 2: Self-Esteem

```
 Now it would be Chillarai's turn to go against the last knight, Ra Suya, who had the appearance of a 16-year-old boy in general, brown eyes and hair and some pimples, and then he says cheerfully:

```

-Wow! That was all so exciting! Let's go!

```
 And he, instead of raising his right arm, Suya raised his left arm, Chillarai got pale and asked with a little desperation in his voice:

```

-Huuhh... will you really... go with... right?

-Yes! I'm left-handed, is there a problem?

-Hah... no no! No problem!

```
 Said Chillarai, sweating and swallowing dry as he sat on Suya's support, extending his left arm, to Chillarai, this was like being more vulnerable than a rabbit in front of a hungry lion, but he still had a hint of hope:

```

-'I see he's not even as tough as the other two who used to be.

```
 The judge began to count:

```

-1...

-2...

```
  Suya's normal touch and Chilla's right hand touch each other...

```

-3!!

The beginning of the fight occurs in a normal way, as if there were 2 normal people doing the same, but Suya was with the weak arm and was losing, and soon after, Suya starts to repeat low for himself:

-I'm stronger, I'm stronger, I'm stronger...

```
 Suya's arm seemed to get stronger with each sentence he repeated, although the arm didn't gain any muscle mass, and he kept repeating louder and louder:

```

-I'm stronger! I am stronger! I AM STRONGER!

```
 Chilla's left arm starts to recede a lot, but instead of the arm having the instant growth like the right one, the arm started to lose muscle mass, releasing a vapor and releasing the band it had in the arm too, the arm was getting skeletal and Chilla wasn't holding the gigantic pressure, and Suya screams:

```

-OHHH YEEEEAAAHH!!

```
 And simply Suya's arm became the same as lUMA's, and in a matter of 1 mere second, Chilla's left arm was crushed against the support, he releases a groan of pain and pulls the arm from Suya's hand, which was already normal in a blink of an eye. And the judge says:

```

-VICTORY to the knight RA SUYA!

```
 Chillarai grumbles and hides his skeletal left arm under the cloak and tightens the band, Suya just lets out a broad smile of animation and, the judge then continues:

```

-Chillarai, you´ve won 2 of the 3 best knights of Elles, your request in giving a message to the queen Arielon Dec was accepted.

```
 He then breathes a sigh of relief, and then gets up in a hurry to introduce himself to the queen, but Suya gives advice first:

```

-Hey! Take off this hood when you go to introduce yourself to her! She will give you more attention that way.

```
 Chilla agrees with his head and goes on his way, he sees himself in front of the door that is on the queen's throne, he takes off his cloak and blade belt and puts it on a chair and opens the door. The queen was standing and discussing with her advisor about the current situation of Elles, which was not good, the queen then says:

```

-How will we deal with this threat from Father Verier?

-I don't know my majesty, there are still the watchmen of the orcs hidden in the 4 roads that leave our kingdom, they prevent our dealers and messengers to go to Mataveri, and a direct conflict would result in-

-COF COF

Chillarai gets the queen's attention, being there for 2 minutes to take advantage of the information gain coming from the counselor, soon knowing what a beautiful favor to do for the queen:

-Hello Your Majesty, I am a messenger.

-Oh, what is it?

-I can't say yet.

-I ORDER T-

```
 When the queen turned to see who was the person, she witnessed a totally strange and frightening appearance to her, Chillarai's face was full of seams, through her mouth, cheek, ears, eyes and hair. Each part stitched didn't match the skin tone of each other, besides the ears were female beast, fox specifically, the eyes... the light part was completely black and the iris golden and small, its short hair was made out of steel, forming blades that would cut an arm, its arms and legs had only a thick seam on the shoulder and thigh, the right arm and leg were disproportionate to the limbs of the left, the right arm was more muscular than the left, and the right leg was bigger and stronger, but the left was smaller and lighter.

```

-I will only say my message when I do you a favor.

-What are you saying? What kingdom do you serve? Who are you?

-I don't serve any specific kingdom, only myself, and my message has a gigantic weight that tends to be shared by everyone of paramount importance. And I am Virpanai, Chillarai Virpanai.

```
 Queen Arielon Dec reflects and remembers the current situation:

```

-Any favor you say?

-Of course, Majesty.

-So I have a favor for you, Virpanai.

-What's it all about?

```
 Arielon Dec sits on the throne to start talking seriously.

```

-Our kingdom is suffering many external threats, our roads from the south, north, east and west, each one has a watch station of the orcs, our oldest and most persistent enemy, if these stations are destroyed one by one without alerting the other orcs, we will be able to avoid a direct confrontation with them and make possible the exit of our dealers and messengers, for confidential matters.

-And where would I participate in all this?

-You would, if you could hold on, take down 2 of these posts, those in the south and west, silently and quickly, Kulir will face 1 alone, in the east, while Sulir and Lamu face another, in the north.

```
 Chillarai did not receive such a significant favor for the 2 kingdoms he went through, he was thankful and excited, it was like really being on his first day of work. And then he says:

```

-Thank you very much for accepting my message, Your Majesty, but...

-What?

-aahhn...

```
 Chillarai forgot what he was going to say:

```

-ahn... Sorry, it's nothing...

-So it will be, the mission will start soon at 165° SD (Sunrise Degrees, universal time measure), the time the orcs sleep, so we catch them unnoticed and they will have the worst sleep they ever had, because it will be the last!

```
 Says Arielon lifting her fist up, and all the guards did the same and gave a firm bellow, Chillarai thinks:

```

-'You bet!'.
