The king was FURIOUS. The murder of the churches desciples and the audacity of the mage hero enraged him. Buy there was nothing he could do if the mage did not leave the tower. He'd had his nights try to break in but they were killed by the cursed barrier. Therefore, all he could do was wait...

"Your majesty!"

"What?! I've no time for your nonsense! I've got a scandal and two monsters disguised as heroes to deal with! If you're bringing me trivial news I'll have you're head!"

"Your highness, the mage Hero is making a statement!"

"WHAT?!"

~meanwhile~

All throughout the world a broadcast of the mage hero was being made.

"I would like to address the elephant in the room... as I'm sure you all are aware, sometime yesterday a group of nuns at the church of 3 heroes was brutally murdered and a symbol was drawn. I did some digging and found that this symbol is alchemic/spiritual symbol."

A/N: I would like to pause here. I'm gonna start talking about that symbol and it's meaning. I don't really know much about it aside from the fact that it's for something to do with his and alchemy AKA primitive science. And from what I know about alchemy there's usually some kind of spiritual force mixed in. My main reference point is the story of the philosophers stone. So, if I get ANYTHING wrong I don't want no shit. You wanna correct me politely I'd be glad to get a bit more knowledge... thank you for listening!

"I wasn't aware of how diverse the races were. Originally I was only aware of the humans and demihumans, dwarves and sucu. but now I know that there are many more. When I first communes with the god of spirits he told me that spirits once lived alongside humans. They used to bless the lands using their magic and even made pacts with humans. But that was thousands of years ago. The god told me that the humans grew jealous and greedy. The humans led by the church, enslaved spirits. They sealed them inside weapons and used their powers up till they died. They only ever managed to seal weaker spirits in the weapons, but it was more than enough. The spirit god tried to negotiate but the church refused and even tried to seal him. The god, angered, accepted that as a declaration of war and the spirits turned violent towards humans. They caused droughts, famines, and even burned down villages. People did not know peace. The royal family summoned the 4 cardinal heroes to fight their war, but the shield hero seeing that the war was brought on by the selfishness of the church, decided to do his best minimizing casualties of the people by distributing medicine and negotiating with the spirits. The spirits agreed not to harm those who did not cause them harm, but they would never aid humans again. However, the heroes did something despicable. They killed the fire king Ifrits wife Shiva. Ifrit had always hated humans cause they were selfish and greedy. But Shiva loved humans dearly. So, she never lifted her blessing. When they killed Shiva, the Shield hero defended her. But the heroes killed Shiva and the Shield hero... and harvested Shivas body. In response, Ifrit burned down melromarc and killed the loved ones of the heroes. The god of spirits summoned a champion of their own, and together they freed the captured spirits. The spirits left the realm never to return, and for a long time it was hard for crops to grow and magic was weaker than before. Many people believed that the spirits abandoning them was the reason, and they called for the heroes heads as they were the ones who pissed off ifrit and chased away the kindest spirit king. And although it was ultimately the church who started the whole thing, no one dared to challenge them for fear of losing their chance at salvation. So, in an attempt to appease the spirits, they burned the heroes and their parties at the stake. It only angered the spirits further. My predecessor made this announcement on behalf of the spirit god:
