  Ray- *hands on his hips* I’ll become something greater, something better and something-

  (Cut over to Maria)

  Maria- So these are the new recruits?

  Constantine- Yes Ms. Maria

  Maria- Well then I hope your prepared for the challenges that are ahead of you

  ?- Well

  (The man looks up as he bows to Maria)

  Shadow Cult member- I’m sure were prepared enough for this

  Rever- OH CAN YOU FEEL THAT RAGON, THE PUZZLE PIECES ARE ALL COMING TOGETHER

  RAGON- Yes, my king

  Rever- I FEEL THE COMING OF A NEW AGE IS UPON US IT WILL BE SOMETHING IMMENSE, BOUNDLESS, EXTRAORDINARY SOMETHING-

  /////////////////Dread-Head\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

  (Season 2 starts now)

  (Opens up on a look at the massive “Convene of the Kingdoms Arena” Ray is standing a ways in front of the group as he takes in the size of the structure)

  Ray- Damn, it’s massive

  William- I hear ya lil bro *rubs Ray’s head*

  Milenya- Ray what have I said about your language

  Ray- *frustrated sigh* Soooorrry

  Milenya- Also the reason for it’s massive stature is because it was made from the crater of Sir Windholm and the King of Tamasha’s battle 3 years back

  Ray/William- What/Oh!

  Milenya- You’ve never heard of this battle happening Ray?

  Ray- *confused* No I’ve never heard of it

  Milenya- *thinking* Hm; Do you remember massive earthquakes and heavy winds happening 3 years ago

  (Ray starts trying to remember back 3 years ago when he was less acquainted with his shack)

  Ray- Yeah I remember they scared and knocked me and Rafiki around a lot

  Milenya- Well apparently those disruptions were caused by their battle; I heard only few could see the battle because it was so monstrous

  William- Oh yeah, dad, you never told me much about that battle other than “It was nothing” or “It’s my business”

  Windholm- *unsettled/sweatdrop* Oh well it really wasn’t that important and it still is my business

  William- It seems to have been seeing as it made a crater this fuckin big *stretching out his arms to illustrate the size of the arena*

  Windholm- It was just a political visit that went terrible exceedingly very fast and one thing led to another

  Milenya- I had heard stories of how the King of Tamasha is a fearsome warrior that the other lord revere

  Windholm- That is somewhat true

  William- So how did the fight end

  Windholm- *chagrin* A draw

  Everyone but Windholm- WHAT!

  William- Now I would love to see this man cause if he gave you a hard time back then I wonder what kind of monster he’s become since then

  Windholm- *reluctant* Oh you’ll meet him *underbreath* but he won’t be what you expect

  William- What’d you say dad?

  Windholm- Nothing now come along everyone do not lollygag *gesturing forward*

  William- *sarcastic* Alright *to Ray* So glad my sisters aren’t here or else they’d be on my ass about “my manners” and “language” too

  Ray- Yeah

  [Flashback:

  Windholm- I will be choosing who shall accompany me to the “Convention of Kingdoms”

  (Ray, Milenya, William, Fredrick, Maria, Constantine, Lerena, Dane, Jonathan, Derlin, Jean and Rena)

  Windholm- First and most obviously Mr. Wielder

  Ray- It’s Ray *walks up and stands beside Windholm*

  Windholm- Next to join us shall be Ms. Milenya

  Milenya- *bows down on one knee* Thanks you sire *walks up beside Ray*

  Windholm- And lastly…

  Windholm- William

  (William is at first confused but then it clicks in his head)

  William- yeeEEEEESSSS!!!! *he shouts as he does a shoryuken-like jump punch* Let’s go dad

  Lerena- Father!

  Windholm- Yes Lerena?

  Lerena- Why not bring me as well I could be of great use to you on this excursion

  Lerena- *looks up* Aye Sir! *salute*

  Windholm- I am glad to hear it, Marcus shall be my stand in for the time being, can I count on you?

  Marcus- Aye Sir *salute*

  Windholm- Alright then

  Maria- Father, I wish you a safe trip

  Windholm- Thank you for your blessing and I shall say to you all; have good fortune and a fair life *teleports him Ray, Milenya, and William away to the Arena*

  Flashback End]

  (Cut back to the main group as they start to enter the arena)

  William- Yo lil bro

  Ray- Hm?

  William- You think you gonna be able to handle that bad boy *gestures to “Death’s Pillar” don’t want you going all crazy on everyone like you did last time or else I might have to chop ya *makes a chopping motion with his hand*

  Ray- I hope so *looking at the staff remembering when he had to wield it again

  [Flashback:

  (Ray and Windholm are walking down the hall of the Research and development building

  Windholm- Wielder it is time you wield “Death’s Pillar” once more are you nervous?

  Ray- Why would I be nervous I’ve held it before *in head* and now Death will guide me right?

  Death- Right *smiles*

  Windholm- *coy smile* Oh gracious me how could I have forgotten

  (Windholm opens the door to the “Pillar Lab” as he does everyone bows down upon his arrival and Ray marvels at the scientific wonders in the room)

  Windholm- Jonathan

  Johnathan- Yes Father?

  Windholm- We are ready

  Johnathan- Hm, *goes over to Ray* So this is our wielder *studies Ray* What interesting hair you have *starts to touch Ray’s hair* doesn’t really seem natural, how did it get like this

  Ray- My mother made it like this

  Johnathan- How fascinating…

  Windholm- *Ahem*

  Johnathan- Oh yes sorry father *claps twice/gestures to 2 scientists*

  (Both scientists nod and push some buttons on a console, opening the capsule containing the pillar Ray is impressed with how protected it was so was Death)

  Death- Didn’t think they’d keep it this locked up

  Ray- *in head* I know right?

  Windholm- Wielder it is time *motioning towards the pillar*

  Ray- *in head* OK show time *shrugs shoulders*

  Death- Don't touch it

  Ray- *in head* What?

  Death- If you want to fully master my pillar stop right here and you must follow my instructions, OK?

  This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.

  (Ray contemplates this and complies with a nod)

  Death- Good now just hold out your hand and relax

  (Ray walks up to the pillar and holds his hand out)

  Death- Ray you must concentrate here if your body doesn’t accept the pillar it won’t do as you say

  Ray- *in head* What about last time?

  Death- It only worked because you tried your hardest but you didn’t fully accept it so like how you accepted me you must accept the pillar

  Ray- *in head* Got it

  (Ray starts to focus hard as he lets his body relax and try to accept the pillar. After a few minutes nothing passes until the pillar starts to shine and then disintegrates into black and white particles that then reform in front of Ray’s hand. Everyone watching marveled at the event and wrote down notes about it and then end Ray then grabs the pillar and opens his eyes)

  Ray- *sighs in completion*

  Death- Congratulations Ray you have nearly fully mastered my pillar

  Ray- Thanks *looking down at the staff*

  (Ray then starts to give the staff a little test twirl as he spins it around his body and rests it in his own stance)

  Ray- Yeah I think I could get used to this

  Flashback End]

  (Ray then looks up form the staff to see that they have made it to the entrance of the Arena)

  Guards- *halting* State your name and party

  Windholm- I am King Argus Windholm and this is my wielder *gestures to Ray* son William *William waves* and my wielder’s butler Ms. Milenya *Milenya bows*

  Guards- Proceed sir Windholm

  Windholm- *under breath/straightening tie* Could have at least already recognized me

  William- Man, I wonder what the other lords are like

  Ray- Me too

  (The group walks into a massive arena decked out with stands and cameras everywhere)

  Ray/William/Milenya- WOAH

  Announcer over the intercom- KING WINDHOLM HAS ARRIVED!

  (That’s when Ray looks over to see other groups of people staring at them)

  (The group walks over to the others as each seems to be in their own worlds at the moment; Windholm approaches one of the individuals, who is a 5”9 ft {175.26 cm} woman with pale skin, blonde hair, crystal blue eyes with blue lipstick and eyeshadow. Her outfit consists of a blue hat with a black rose on it, white arm sleeves that stop at her bicep and a sleeveless blue dress with white and blue high heels. She is waving herself with a hand fan while a butler is holding a parasoul over her)

  ?- Argh, curse this heat

  Windholm- *sigh* Well Gena it’s good to see you as radiant as always

  Gena- *looks over to him* Shut it Argus don’t talk to me as if we’re any closer than the border between our territories

  Milenya- *underbreath* Rude

  Windholm- *agitated/tick mark on forehead* I was just trying to lighten the mood

  Gena- I don’t care for your pleasantries I only wish to win this convention and establish my superiority over you

  Windholm- Well then we shall see who is more equipped to win these bouts

  Hanzo- You don’t seem to change Argus that fragile optimism speaks volumes of your character

  (Windholm turns his attention to the man; he was a 5”11 ft {180.34 cm} individual with long jet black hair, a short beard, small pensive eyes and thick eyebrows. His outfit consists of a gold hair catching crown and black and golden Longpao decorated with gold linings that covered most of his body except his hands, face and somewhat his feet; His name was Emperor Hanzo Miyamoto of the Shānguó Kingdom)

  Windholm- And I see that stoic demeanor hasn’t faded even a tad since last we spoke

  Hanzo- A calm head and a stern spirit can withstand even the toughest storms so I aim to have a clear mind when handling anything that has to do with my country and people

  Gena- There he goes with his platitudes *looks over to Ray/points her fan at him* so I take it this is your wielder *snarky*

  Windholm- Why yes this is uh-

  Ray- Ray

  Windholm- Ray

  Gena- Doesn’t look like anything special and what is the matter with his hair

  Ray- My mother-

  Windholm- It’s just like that now I would I would like to see your wielder since you are so confidant

  Ray- *in head* Could have at least let me talk, dick

  Gena- Alright then, Levi *she turns her head in the said person’s direction* come over here

  (A 6”3 ft {190.50 cm} man with red curly hair, pale skin, freckled face, brown tired eyes and a bit of a beard coming in. His outfit consists of a dress shirt that goes down to his forearms underneath a black waistcoat, black dress pants, black leather wide top boots and 2 earrings on his right ear. He has a large hammer on his belt with multiple engravings on it. As comes over to the group; his demeanor is shy and reserved as if he doesn’t want to be there)

  Levi- Yes ma’am?

  Gena- Please *cringes a bit* uh GREET your future opponent and his entourage

  (Levi walks up to Ray and the rest of the Windholm group and does a formal bow)

  Levi- *monotone* Pleasure to make your acquaintance

  Ray- *in head* Is he alright

  Ray- It’s nice to meet you as well *Ray holds his hand out for a handshake*

  (Levi looks at it a bit surprised and looks over to Gena for some guidance and shakes her head and so Levi just ignores Ray’s outstretched hand and goes back to sit down)

  Ray- Um Ok that was weird

  William- What’s your fuckin problem man, just gonna leave my lil bro hanging like that?

  (Levi continues to walk away from the group hunched over)

  William- *starts marching over to him* Hey dick-head I’m talkin’ to you *put his hand on his shoulder*

  Windholm- William

  Levi- *startled/smacks his hand away* Don’t…Touch…Me

  Ray/Milenya- Oh no

  William- And what are you gonna do about it pussy, fight me? *unsheathing sword* cause if so *stops when the blade is half way out* Then I welcome the challenge

  Levi- *getting agitated and twitching* J-Just leave me alone

  William- WHAT speak up I can’t hear you

  Levi- *getting more and more angry/his eyes start to glow blue* I SAID L-

  Gena- Calm yourself boy

  (Levi stops and everyone looks at Gena)

  Gena- Have you forgotten your place boy or *glares* must I beat it into you again

  (Levi starts to shiver and puts his head down; walking away from William and the rest of the group)

  Gena- And Argus

  Windholm- Hm

  Gena- *regaining her poise* Watch your spawn as he, has quite the muzzle on him

  William- Bit-

  Windholm- William that is enough but Gena what gives you the right to issue me orders

  (William looks back at Windholm who gestures for him to resheathe his sword and return to the group)

  Gena- I did

  Windholm- *smiling*Then I may need to remind you, *glares* that you have no authority over me

  Gena- And how will you do that

  Windholm- I won’t we’ll let our wielders do that talking on the battlefield

  Gena- That is one thing I can agree with you on

  William- *sheathing sword* Pfft whatev’s I was just trying to have a little fun *walks back over to the group*

  ?- Hey!

  (The group looks over to the cause of the noise to see a 6” ft {182.88 cm} woman with a curvaceous figure and an ample bosom. She has large brown eyes with eyeliner, long and voluminous black hair styled in a low ponytail with 2 locks on the sides framing her face, a beauty mark diagonal to her glossy lips and her finger and toenails are painted pink. Her outfit consists of a black crop top shirt with the word “YaY” on it in gold, some baggy white pants that are open from the crotch to each calf with black tights underneath {think Juri Han} and stretch sandals. She has a giant fan on her back with a 12 in {30.48 cm} hoop sized ring at what seemed to be the handle; This was Kali Toyoshima)

  Kali- *serious* Hey you with the 2 swords I take it you're gonna be the wielder I may be facing from Windholm?

  William- No, that would be my lil bro Ray here *goes behind Ray and pushes him forward to present him*

  Ray- *nervous wave* Hey

  Kali- *confused then cheerful* Awwww

  Windholm Group- *confused* Huh?

  (Kali then rushes over to Ray and hugs him tightly)

  Kali- *starts jumping around while hugging Ray* Oh my days you are the cutest thing I’ve seen all day, your eyes are beautiful and your hair is well I don’t know

  (Ray’s mind is racing through many emotions raging from happiness, confusion, arousal and lightheadedness)

  Ray- *in head* What is happening/Why is she hugging me/She smells good/She called me cute/This feels nice/I’m not cute/She’s very pretty

  Death- Ray, c’mon, snap out of it

  Ray- Can this last forever?/Am I in Heaven?/I don’t want to fight her/

  Hanzo- Drop the boy Kali you will have plenty of time to be up close and personal on the battlefield

  Kali- Aw man *let’s go of Ray*

  (Ray is all woozy and is about to fall on the floor until Milenya runs to his aid)

  William- Um who are you anyway

  Kali- I’m Kali, wielder of the Fan of Amaterasu and make up artist

  William- Interesting resume of information

  ?- Kali I go away for a little to get refreshments and your already pestering the other monarchs *sigh* what will I do with you

  (Everyone looks at the man coming over. He is a 6” 2 {187.96} man with a muscular build and several thick beaded necklaces on his body. He has neck length brown hair, small brown eyes, tan white skin and an off putting smile. His clothing consists of an emerald green chinese gi with white accents and designs, baggy white pants, leather Xue footwear and the aforementioned beads {Think of Go Gamdo from God of Highschool}; This is Xwen Chang)

  Kali- *smiling* What you always have, what over me of course

  Xwen- *happy sigh/walks over to Kali and hands her a drink* I do apologize for any inconvenience my friend here may have caused you as you can see *peers over to Kali happily slurping up the drink* she is an eccentric sort

  Windholm- Oh not at all in fact, Sir Hanzo here had already stopped her actions from progressing any further

  William- Heh Heh, I bet Ray wishes it would have lasted longer *starts nudging a dazed out Ray*

  (Milenya play slaps his hand away as William laughs)

  Xwen- Oh I see *turns towards Hanzo and bows to him* thank you my liege for compensating for my ignorance, I am sorry for my negligence

  Hanzo- It is alright but please don’t let it happen again

  Xwen- You are too kind sire

  Windholm- Well it’s good to see you all and how could I forget

  (Windholm walks over to a tan skinned, 5”9 ? woman with midnight black hair that goes over her right shoulder and back, brown hazel eyes, red lipstick, thin eyebrows and thick eyelashes. Her outfit consists of a Huipiles dress that is white on the top and black on the gown with many red rose designs and many other red accents that goes down to her calves, a red rose in her hair, black leather thick cuban high heels and some gold bracelets. She has a rapier on her hip also with some engravings on it. She’s looking bored while sitting with her attendants; This is Zoraida Rodriguez)

  Windholm- Zoraida, how have you been?

  (She doesn’t answer him as she just looks forward and checks her phone for the time)

  Ray- What’s up with her

  Hanzo- *sigh* Don’t bother her Argus she hasn’t spoken a word since she arrived I doubt she’ll say much here anyway

  Windholm- Hm, Well then it seems your all here at least but it looks like that Ajani is running late as alwa-

  Ajani- I HOPE YOU GUYS DIDN’T START WITHOUT ME!

  ?- C’mon brother you don’t have to be so loud

  (Standing behind him was a girl who looked to be the same height, with dark brown eyes, bigger lips, thinner eyebrows, brown skin, pronounced canines and her hairstyle is like Ajani’s but reversed {braid on right and wild hair on left}. Her outfit was a beige and light green sleeveless top wrapped with beige bandages around her waist, a long cover up with a checkered and diamond pattern on it going over her red skirt, and wears silver diamond pointed earrings. She is holding a green and white Sanjiegun in her hand as she is a little embarrassed by her brother’s outburst)

  Ajani- WHAT WAS THAT AISHA COULDN'T HEAR YOU

  ?- Please sire lower your voice you don’t want to damage your vocal cords

  Ajani- long time no see Windholm

  Windholm- I could say the same to you Ajani

  (Windholm and Ajani glare at each other in a standoff, sizing each other up and waiting for the other to make a move)
