CHAPTER II: THE REIGN OF THE NORTH (3)
What really triggered this event was a close relationship between the sword of voices and Rita, of course, the voices showed her so much veracity of the culture of her father's kingdom and of the people who lived in it, that Rita was convinced of meet the sword again. It is then in the fourth book, when Rita begins to have a kind of reciprocal relationship, the awareness of the sword inhabited Rita and Rita became more powerful, the voices guided her towards better techniques and attack styles, in addition to learning from another style of magic, none of these styles were taught in her father's kingdom and yet Rita looked at them quite well and gave her greater agility and dexterity, the movements made her more flexible and more fluid.
The electromagnetic field of the stone for some reason, was imperceptible to the son of Eodin, that is, not even nature itself could enter this dimension if consciousness did not allow it. The forest of the springs (Arcuri) was very very strange. This is how the stone becomes a kind of teacher and energetic guide for Rita, every time Rita went she trained and practiced, with the excuse of going to the forest to explore it more and more, but she was hiding this practice. Rita then, finishing the fourth book, one day she arrives super annoyed and in anger she says
“I don't need to follow the practices of this disgusting lineage to be better”, that's when the conscience of the sword mentions that it is possible to adapt to a essentially new lineage, and master it.
Rita without thinking tells him that she wants to do that, but the sword tells her that it has a high price. She must renounce the fire lineage of her father, which is her nature.
Gloen was a region rooted in chivalry and diplomacy. Full of men faithful to their King, like little ants serving their colony. A large and beautiful region, seized for years and several hundred miles, full of rivers, streams, and waterfalls; innumerable forests, hills and mountains, which enjoyed all kinds of exotic species. Fundamentally new and fresh ecosystems, embryos of life. Organisms meeting their first evolutionary steps, experimenting with their environments. Completely magical, sophisticated and mysterious creatures. Well, this kingdom had been slow to complement itself. Millennia of wars, thousands and thousands of men were sacrificed to have come to this great and unbreakable monarchy.
Through his ancestors, the legitimate King Agameus inherited these wonderful lands; together with his beloved queen Eliz and his 12 excellencies of daughters, who were crowned as duchesses and eternal possessors of the immense empire. Its parts were distributed equally, choosing from the firstborn to the last of his daughters, the peoples and the different states corresponding to the King's judgment, and they swore reverence to them, and the soldiers of these nations, swore the loyalty paid with the life towards the sovereignty and eternal power of King Agameus. A superb king, however, and subtly self-centered. For there was no kingdom that competed or even dared to imagine fighting against such a huge and solidified kingdom through the centuries.
The town was sustained mainly by the wealth extracted by the King. Gold, copper, platinum, maltese and emeralds of all color gammas were offered to the towns, to turn the states into small cities, with detailed structures and designs, apart from the payment to the small governors who promised forts and militias for defense from all points of the empire. A fearsome kingdom, indestructible by any terrestrial.
When the last of his daughters reached the 16 rimerian springs, Agameus ordered all his daughters to disperse to their corresponding estates by hereditary right. He ordered them to reign, govern, influence, negotiate and mainly, relate to her people and find a man worthy of her hand. For Agameus, he had f*******n romantic relationships with any of his daughters. It was not going to be, until the last of them was ready, for all of them to go out in search of the autonomy of their lives. For the one who will demonstrate the best leadership, was to be her name sealed from her as the rightful heir to the entire Gloen kingdom. For Agameo, age did not matter but maturity in his actions.
The personality and character of his daughters would prove to which she was chosen to erect the great throne. A judgment that he himself wished to impart, through the obvious. Well, the obvious to him was the indisputable. It was a question that he wanted to resolve while he was alive and placed on sacred parchment. He was not going to allow such a generational effort to obtain so much wealth and power to be thrown overboard. Nothing guaranteed or won for anyone; all equally, they had to demonstrate which was the most suitable for the position.
"Father, can't you see how unfair this is to me?" -claims Rosa- "This is the kind of embarrassment that you put me through. Thirty-six springs, without a partner without choosing my mandate and being your first daughter."
"Rosalina, daughter. This is why I am giving you Elietcel, the most organized of my states. I have already mentioned you, I am not looking for age or chronology. I am looking for maturity, attitude and love in this Kingdom. Seeing you whimsically and infallibly demanding a reign which you never fought or shed blood for, is the reason why I want equity among my heirs. With this you do not seem to show attitude for this enormous responsibility, and you disappoint me. But still, I believe in you. You are the one who has more experience, and this is what you must value and take into consideration. "
"I cannot believe this or what you are telling me. The neighboring kingdoms have had consecrated throughout the centuries that the firstborn is the one who has the direct right to inherit the throne. An opportunity like the one that, at the time, yourself You saw "
"Well, that's the way it is, this is not another one of those kingdoms. This is Gloen, an empire, a fortress. She has become so huge that I will not allow any daughter of mine to seize it; but rather the one who show greater courage, love and resilience. I became King because only I was left standing in the last of our battles. My brothers, my friends and my father died, and between tears and pain we raised this flag and became sovereign at last This is your chance, take it or leave it. "
.
"But-"
"I will not speak any more. We have discussed this enough times. Take your horse and your sword, and go to your people. She exercises as the strong woman who e
"You will be able to control fire matter and its essence as well, since you have already learned to master matter, but essence will never be fire again, I can help you to put an aura of protection on you and thus be undetectable to your family . In theory, you will be able to manipulate both elements, but your energy and main essence in addition to your offspring, can never be fire again. It will be the element you decide. Rita thinks about it and after a while accepts her offer, and asks her what she should do, that's when the stone asks her what essence she wants to be, and she answers that she wants to dominate the marine essence.
The stone's consciousness tells him that he must search for a sea-scented dragon in the forest, annihilate it, and extract the bluish crystal embedded in his forehead, bring it to him so that the stone can absorb the power and transmit it in a process of transmutation into the stone. Rita manages to do this successfully and brings the crystal successfully, the stone manages to make the transmutation and the process is successful. Rita then finishes the fourth book having the ability to influence and manipulate both elements, but having a marine essence for life.
So we're left with Rita, who had a unique personality. She was almost the opposite of Amara, being reserved and indifferent to people. She very rebellious and she did not agree with the behavior of many people, but she was very intelligent. She had an ability to adapt and improvise better than the sisters, in addition to being the fastest in attack with the sword, she was a prodigy and a great promise for the military kingdom, with only 16 years.
Despite having very different characteristics, the daughters of Leyra loved her mother, and therefore it was because of her and her father that maintained a balance in the overloads of power that these three had.
On Rita's 17th birthday a great party was held, this number symbolized the beginning of maturity processes and destinies with life. Argon prepared a great party for Rita, which despite being indifferent is in the background she had liked the gesture, but she still seemed without grace.
Everyone was happy and celebrating when at night, never-before-seen packs of wolves infiltrated the kingdom, attacking boys and girls and everything in their path. Near the Kingdom of Argon, there was a forest called The Forest of Springs, which was rumored to be full of strange creatures, but Leyra always went with Rita and Amara to the forest to show her how beautiful it was and how she could even interact with creatures. unknown to them. When a group of wolves enter the dinner and interrupt the celebration, they all run away, Rita disperses and everyone runs away from her, when she realizes she has three wolves behind her, causing her to run and escape. In the course of the run and the escape, Rita is cornered and she finds no other way out than to go out through a hidden door outside the empire, which led to the forest of the springs and she decided to escape there.
When this happens Rita without thinking runs and moves further and further away from the kingdom, this being very dangerous since it was a forest with totally unknown areas, and that Argon called it extremely unsafe. When this happens, there comes a time when Rita must face the wolves in the course of the run, eliminating two of them, but one is free of her and she is totally injured. Already near dawn, and with Rita cornered, a glow comes out behind the bushes where Rita was cornered, burning the wolf's sight and causing the wolf to run away.
