Chapter 6 - *From the Past: Part Three*

*Battle for the Eternal Realm*

{Phoenix Realm}

In the phoenix realm, the people are going about their lives,

"Crystel beads for sale, they can increase your cultivation."

"How much is it?"

"Father, buy me that sweet candy bear figure".

(Fallen Palace)

At the Fallen Palace, the phoenix king and queen were in the garden spending time with their youngest children, "Dad, catch", said the young prince Ryo, throwing a frisbee-like object at the king.

"Mother, when will elder brother be coming to visit us?" asked the young princess Rya while lying on her mother's lap while sitting under a tree.

"I don't know he has a very important job to do", said the queen before being interrupted by a sudden tremble.

With a distraught look on her face, she looked at her husband.

"What was that?" asked she, worried. 

At the Godly Phoenix Gate, the guards were shocked and thrown into chaos by the unexpected attack by the Xearrion Armada.

"It's the Xearrion Army, go and inform the king", said the captain in charge of the gate.

"Soldiers, listen to my orders", shouted the captain, and everyone listened. "Create a barrier to stop them from entering the capital and wait for the king's order", ordered the captain, and they created a barrier.

"Your highness", said the mysterious man to the Xearrion King, still under the control of the man. The king flashed away in front of the barrier and used his power to break it.

"How weak", and the barrier broke; he charged forward.

The phoenix war bell was rung, alerting everyone about the invading force. As it rung the sound of the bell could be heard across the Kingdom.

The King was informed.

"What!!, it's impossible", said the king shocked, "Why would he do it", asked the queen confused, "I don't know but for now go to the palace and stay safe, men listen to my order, take the queen and children into the palace and defend the kingdom", shouted the king and together with his guard flashed away to battle.

As the armada invaded, the mysterious man looked on with pleasure. In the middle of the city, another mysterious man looked up from the city and saw the Xearrion armada,

"Finally, they are here now, I should be going", he said as he flashed off.

Seeing the Phoenix army charging ahead, the Mysterious man used the Xearrion king to attack the Phoenix clan.

As he was about to attack one of the Phoenix generals, the Phoenix king came crashing down, "", sending a wave of red fire towards the Xearrion king, sending him flying back.

"Thank you, Your Highness", said the general as the king landed. "Step back and protect and evacuate the citizens, I will handle them", said the king, determined.

"Your highness", said the general, worried. "Go now", shouted the king. As they went, the Xearrion army wanted to stop them, but the king intervened,

"No, you don't, " said the king, using his phoenix core to embody himself, resembling an angel and attacking the Xearrion force on his own.

 {Eternal Realm}

Back at the Eternal Palace, the Eldar is convening when a soldier rushed in, "Report!", shouted the soldier as his running to the front and knelt on one knee.

"Your majesty, the Xearrions have invaded the Phoenix clan", said the soldier, scared.

"What!", shouted the emperor.

Everyone was shocked and confused upon hearing the news, but action needed to be taken.

"Your majesty, we must decide on a response", said one of the noble lords stepping forward.

"Yes, what do you suggest?" asked Zhu'an.

"We should send the legions and a few Eldar to stop the Xearrions", said Li Huan, with a calculating tone.

"We can't just send our legions to war", said Xi Jin shooting down Li Huan's proposal.

As the Imperial Court debated on what to do, things in the Phoenix Realm were getting worse.

{Phoenix Realm}

As the queen and her children looked over the kingdom from the palace, all they saw was chaos and destruction everywhere.

"My god, how could this happen?" she said as she looked over the kingdom. A flashing light drew her attention. It was the Phoenix king and the Xearrion king clashing. She looked on with tears in her eyes, "Mother, why are you crying?", asked the young prince. "You must always remember that the safety of the people is most important, and the survival of the clan stands above all", she said as she hugged her children.

"Take them inside and protect them", she ordered the guards and flashed off.

"Mother!!", shouted the children.

"Very well, let's finish what we came here for", the mysterious man said to himself.

The mysterious man did not come to destroy the phoenix realm but for something more precious. He flew past the fighting kings and went straight to the Celestial Phoenix Hall, which houses one of the creation artifacts, the 'Eternal Flame'.

With the clear purpose of the mysterious man's plan in the Phoenix Realm, a major problem is about to arise.

(Northwestern Eternal Realm)

At another place in the Eternal realm, another mysterious man was standing before a city that had gigantic gates as tall as mountains, the 'Great City of the Fallen Giants'.

"Did you know that this city once belonged to giants, it was said to be the most powerfullest kingdom in the golden age, the giants crafted great weapons that were used by the gods like the legendary spear of the Eternal Emperor 'Gungnir', that was craft using the Eternal Flame", said a man to children in the city telling the story by the city center, "Wow!!!", said the children excited.

As the mysterious man stood before the gates the guards asked him what he want but he just cringed and said, "What a wonderful time for chaos perfect for the festival of giants", and he then weaved signs to create a spell array and opened multiple portals allowing hordes of shadow demons to come through and start attacking the city.

 As the city was being attacked by shadow demon hordes the alarm was sound, "What is happening now", asked one of the City leaders, "My lords the city is being attacked by shadow demons", said one of the guards that came to evacuate the leaders, "We must inform the Eldar so they can send reinforcements", said the head of the city guard, "We will try to hold them off".

"They must be here for that thing", said one city leader to the other as they left, "Then we must guard it, or it will become a catastrophe".

{Eternal Palace}

At the Hall of the Eldar, they continued to debate, with no end in sight. That was until another soldier rushed in,

"Report!"

He knelt before the stairs that led to the Lion Throne,

"Your majesty, we just received word a few moments ago that the city of the Fallen Giants was attacked by a shadow horde."

This shocked everyone, even some Eldar, and enraged the emperor.

"Everyone, listen to my command. The Eldar is now on a class 3 defense and is to be dispatched to the battle grounds and to defend the Eternal Realm. Third and Fifth Eldar accompany me, now go!", ordered Zhu'an,

"Yes!!!", said everyone and flashed off.

{Phoenix realm}

"Is that all you got?" said the Phoenix king as he was on one knee. He was taken down by the Xearrion king and six of his generals, "If I have to die here now, then so be it", said he domineeringly.

As he got up to fight, the Xearrion king wanted to give the final blow, but in the nick of time, a figure flashed in the middle, stopping the attack, sending the Xearrion king flying back.

"Are you okay, Father?", asked Xuan Yu as he helped his father get up. "Yes, I am, son. How did you get here so quickly?", asked the king. "I felt my mother activating her spell and had Song Chu'an bring me here", explained Xuan Yu.

"Huh?", said the Phoenix king, sacred, with a look of fear, and instantly flew in the direction of the queen, "Soldiers remain and hold them off", he commanded as he flew off.

The Xearrion generals tried to interfere but were stopped by Xuan Yu's Lieutenant-General, and he started to fight them while Xuan Yu and the king went to the queen.

In the Celestial Phoenix Hall, the queen was struggling to keep up with the mysterious man and was almost out of energy. She then used the last bit of energy she had to stand between him and the Eternal Flame to create a barrier, "You won't be able to keep me out forever", he said as he slashed against the barrier and broke it, and he pierced the queen right through the chest with his sword, destroying her core.

At that moment, Xuan Yu and the king came rushing into the hall, and as the king saw what was happening in front of him, and fell on his knees. The mysterious man then grabbed the Eternal Flame in a magic orb and tried to flee.

"You must stop him at all costs", said the king, tearful and stuttering. Xuan Yu then went after him. The king stood up and slowly walked to his wife, that lying on the floor and picked her up carefully and placed her in his arms, and started crying, "Forgive My Love", he said softly in her ear.

As Xuan Yu chased the mysterious man, the man then turned around instantly, and Xuan Yu stopped. "Instead of pursuing me, you should try and save your people", said the man at that moment, a magic array was activated and created a black-hole.

"Why you…", said Xuan Yu as he looked on, and Xuan Yu instantly teleported to the ground to save the people that have not yet evacuated. "My prince the there is no place for our people to hide from the destruction, the safety bunkers are all unsafe now", said a soldier, scared.

As Xuan Yu looked at his people, who were at a loss, the mysterious man looked on, "It's great that he placed those arrays beforehand", he said to himself and flashed away.

"My lord, the fleet is here", said one of his soldiers that just flashed there. He turned around to see his fleet in the sky, "We are awaiting your command, my lord", said the soldier, bowing in front of Xuan Yu.

"Good, listen to my order", said Xuan Yu, commanding his fleet to load all the people on the ships. "Big brother!!", shouted the young prince and princess that are being escorted to Xuan Yu by the Royal guards.

"Where is my father?", asked Xuan Yu to the guards but they did not answer instead bowed their heads in despair, "I have to go get them", said Xuan Yu trying to go as he was being stopped by his lieutenant-general, "My lord we received an order from the emperor to head the Capital now", informed his lieutenant-general, "Your highness the people", said one of the Phoenix generals.

With his siblings and all the people on board, he then commanded that they take off.

Back at the celestial phoenix hall, the king picked up his wife and flashed to the throne room. He then proceeded to seat her on the Phoenix throne next to him and said, "Sorry, my love, I failed you," holding her tightly.

The entire palace then burst into flames because of the magic array. Xuan Yu and his siblings looked on with the people, then with a look of despair and fear, Xuan Yu fell on his knees with tears rolling down his cheeks, with a feeling of utter disappointment and despair, with his siblings crying on his shoulders as they flew off.
