Thousands of Cherry Blossom ( Rise of a King )

Chapter XXX : Revelation

Finally, Decimo has returned to Servant Country. The team was very happy to see him again. They eventually head to where he is located after the fight.

Wayne looks back as he saw the smiles of his team for being able to see him again. Eventually he smiled back and said.

"I'm back!"

Joy replied
"Welcome back"

They saw the state of Wayne when they saw him closer. His body was covered with cuts and bruises. It looks like he went to hell and managed to get back. Cassee starred at Wayne, worried the he was hurt badly. She immediately went to talk to him after mustering the courage to speak.

Cassee said
"W-Wayne?"

Wayne replied
"Yes?"

Cassee said
"Are you okay?"

Wayne chuckled and said
"I'm fine haha just a little bit sore"

Zac interrupted and said
"Jeez, You shouldn't make us worry like that"

Wayne replied
"I'm sorry"
"I somehow made it back in time"
"Hahahaha"

Law asked
"What took you so long anyway?"

Wayne thinks and said
"This thing is a little hard to tame"
"Hehe"

Wayne's thoughts
'I hope Viserion didn't heard that'

Viserion said
'Ehem! When did you tame me ?!'
'You think I'm a dog or something?!'

Wayne said
'Hahahaha I'm sorry'

Joy asked
"So that's your weapon?"

Wayne said
"Yeah"

Joy's thoughts
'I can't believe it'
'That's a deathscythe'

Carmela said
'Is it heavy?'

Wayne answered
"Not for me haha but if one of you guys touch this it'll kill you"
"That's how stubborn this scythe is"

Wayne kept the existence of Viserion in secret. He thought that not all of his secrets need to be shared. The night was long as the team reunited once again, but all of them haven't forgotten, that a week from now they'll risk their lives to save the country. Joy finally decided to tell Wayne something.

Joy said
"Wayne can you come with us"

Zac's thoughts
'Is it finally time to introduce him?'

Joy followed
"We're going to meet someone"
"Someone who planned all of our attacks towards the Rankers in this country"

Wayne just nodded

Wayne's thoughts
'It must be the one on the phone'
'I've felt that aura before though..'
'Hmmmmmm'
'Well I guess I'll find out'

Wayne and the team heads out to the very edge of Northern City. It was dark, there were no lights or any stars that lit up the sky.

Someone was walking towards them but Wayne couldn't see his face, but he felt the aura it emits. There's no question the guy walking towards them is strong.

Wayne's thoughts
'It's stronger than I thought'

Joy said
"Wayne I'd like to introduce you"
"To the one who planned all of this"
"The 1st ranker of this country"
"Seigen Arkhen "

Seigen said
"It's good to see you Decimo"

Wayne was shocked and something snapped inside him. He rushed toward Seigen and choked his neck. No one not even Joy manages to notice Wayne's movements. They were shocked that Wayne was already choking Seigen in front of them.
