******** Rose's POV ********

Everything on fire in here.

The Citadel is on fire. The capital city is on fire. Some of the people here are on fire.

The fires spread so fast and we barely able to contain it.

The sun is already down but we still haven't put the fires out. I need to do something about this.

Soldiers are frantically going to houses to houses to evacuate the people and some of them are holding buckets of water to put out the fires but this is not enough.

I quickly maneuvered my horse to face the Citadel then ordered the soldiers near me: "Have the garrison in the Citadel help with the fires and evacuations."

I'm on the ground right now, commanding everyone personally.

"My lady. We can't do that. We can't have the Citadel be unguarded." One of the soldiers protested.

I turned my head towards the man who just questioned my order and he flinched at my gaze.

"Soldier. Can't you see the city on fire? Do you think that it is more important to guard a burning stone structure than to save the kingdom's citizens?" I asked him and he quickly turns quiet.

The soldier kicked his horse after a while then started galloping towards the Citadel to relay my orders.

I noticed the people here are so disorganized. They just keep on crying and screaming like everything hopeless now. They run around without a clear destination since the Citadel is burning so they can't evacuate there.

The situation of the people here is starting to pissed me off so I equipped a bow in my hand then nocked an explosive arrow. I then aimed at the burning house that I'm sure that no one is inside. I let go of the string and house exploded making everyone around stop on their tracks and shut their mouths.

"Are you out of your minds!?" I screamed at the people and they quickly turn their heads towards me.

"Do you think screaming around and crying will help our situation!?" I asked them and not a single one offered an answer.

"Good. You finally calmed down. Everyone, help your neighbors evacuate their houses and some of you, fetch water or something. Be productive. Do something. Now, go!" I said to everyone and they quickly followed my orders.

The people started helping the soldiers evacuate the citizens and some of them are also helping with the fires.

Good. The progress in saving this city is going smoothly.

I looked up in the sky where the Ender Dragon appeared.

King Carolus is probably fighting the Ender Dragon right now. I always wanted that to happen but now I'm not sure he can defeat that monster since no matter where I look in the capital city, there are chaos and mayhem and that is only from a single attack.

What horrors will the kingdom be facing if the Ender Dragon manages to break through this world? I can even fathom the idea of fighting that monster.

"My lady. I have grave news."

My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a mounted soldier that I didn't notice standing in front of me.

"Grave news? What is it?" I asked the soldier and I started to wonder what grave news will he talks about since I don't think nothing will ever top a burning city.

"The Prophet is missing. They said that he used the recent attack to escape from his captivity."

"THAT IS A LIE!" I shouted at the soldier and he didn't flinch or say anything. He just stares at me with an indifferent face.

I close my eyes and calmed myself down.

I know my uncle and the Prophet are close so I decided to have someone keep an eye on the Prophet to make sure he won't "escape".

"I said to keep an eye on the Prophet. How come he still manages to escape?" I asked the soldier while opening my eyes.

"I did what I could, my lady, but you also said that I need to be discreet so I kept my distance."

I stare at the soldier and it looks like he is telling the truth or my uncle already paid this man to say whatever he wants.

I sighed. I can't trust anyone these days even my own family.

"Just help with the fires and evacuation," I said to the soldier to make him go away.

"At once, my lady." The soldier said while kicking his horse and started galloping towards the Citadel.

I can't let that old man escape since he needs to pay for his sins. He ordered my grandfather, Oliver Cromwell, to be sent to the Forest of Monsters to study and bring back information about the monsters living in there but my grandfather never came back.

The Prophet also ordered me to travel to the same forest to deliver a message and for what? To bring back the Lost Hero to have him lead a suicide mission.

I swear in the name of the Goddess that I will find that old man but I just pushed my thoughts aside for now since I still have a city to save.

Jack is flying in the sky, hovering around, watching the city burn.

I need to send a message to my sister about what is happening here and about the Prophet. I can't trust the people here to send the message and I didn't bring anyone with me from the Eastern Territory when I traveled here so I guess my parrot will do for now.

"Jack!" I called my parrot and he quickly flaps his wings and started gliding down.

He landed on my shoulder and I quickly whispered my message.

"Go! Relay my message to my sister." I said to Jack.

"Ahck! Understood."

He started flying straight to the sky then towards the east.

After seeing Jack disappeared in the horizon, I steered my horse and started galloping to provide orders and help the capital city.

******* Raimer Van Ranst's POV *******

I looked at my wife who is sitting in the field of flowers outside the capital city together with my son. No, I should say that I'm staring at the Queen of Xaerin and the Crown Prince.

I am the King of Xaerin now and I'm still not used to the title.

The stars are shining brightly in the sky and the sweet aroma coming from the flowers is calming me down.

I dismounted my horse and gave the reins to my guards.

I started walking towards my family and they didn't notice me.

"It is late. Both of you should head back to the Citadel." I said to them and they quickly turned their heads around and stare at me.

"You scared me for a moment, Prince, no, King Raimer," Felicia said to me.

I sit on the ground and embrace both of them from behind.

We are just staring at the fields and the sky and after a while, I stand up fixed my clothing.

"It is starting to get cold. I will grab the horses so we can return to the city." I said to them.

"The moon is redder than usual, don't you think?" Felicia asked all of a sudden.

I look at the moon and didn't notice any change in color.

"What are you saying? Are you alright? Are you feeling sick?" I quickly asked her since I'm starting to get worried.

"You can't see it? I guess it is just me. They said that when a red moon rises, good men will die." She said while slowly stand on her feet and I quickly help her.

They started walking towards the horses and I suddenly stop on my tracks and stare at the moon once again.

The words of Felicia don't make sense to me since good people die every day in this world and not a single night I notice that the moon turned red.

I just cleared my thoughts and started walking.

I still have a lot of things to do and a lot of people to meet.

******** Legendary Enderman's POV ********

I look at the battle between a man and the Ender Dragon from on top of one of the obsidian towers.

The Human managed to land a few hits in the Ender Dragon but it is futile. She will just heal no matter what he does since the Ender Dragon is connected by these Ender Crystals.

I stared at the Ender Crystal on this tower and started walking towards it.

I place my hands on the Ender Crystal and remembered the day that I built this obsidian tower and placed this crystal.

Only the chosen one of each Royal family of each kingdom and its descendants will be able to break this. It is indestructible to other people and it is the only thing that is keeping the Ender Dragon in this dimension.

The Ender Dragon tried to "stretch" a little bit and opened a portal but thankfully, this human pushed her back.

I heard another huge sound from below I quickly teleported on the ground outside the circle of the obsidian towers to see what just happened.

The Human's face is on the ground once again but he still manages to quickly get back up on his feet. He is tenacious, I give him that but his tenacity will not make him win this battle.

He probably noticed by now that the Ender Dragon won't receive any permanent damage unless you destroy the Ender Crystals though I wonder who is this man?

He is really strong for his kind and also really fast.

I used one of my gifts to see the Human's status.

I see. So he is the one who is supposed to lead the humans against the monsters.

I wonder why he suddenly appeared after hiding for a long time?

This changes things. I have to change my plans.

As I think on what I'm about to do in the future, the Human suddenly threw a diamond spear towards the chest of the Ender Dragon.

******** Carolus' POV ********

My diamond spear manages to pierce the chest of the Ender Dragon and she quickly screamed in agony.

I invoke the Loyalty enchantment of the spear and it was about to fly back to me but the Ender Dragon managed to step on it and breaks it into pieces.

Great. There goes my diamond spear.

Most of my equipment and weapons are gone. My diamond hammer is broken and my diamond bow is useless since I don't have any arrows that can hurt the Ender Dragon. My helmet, chest plate and gauntlet are gone too but at least I managed to hurt the Dragon once again.

I look at her health to see how much damage I made.

Health: ? X 998 (2 down)

Health: ? X 999 (1 down)

Health: ? X 1000

Super Great. Of course, the Ender Dragon will just heal instantly. She is still connected to the Ender Crystals.

I was tempted to break the Ender Crystals so she will stop healing but I managed to stop myself. I am having trouble fighting this monster while she is grounded, how terrifying will she be once she is free from her shackles and started flying around?

I equipped the low durability sword in my hand. This is my last usable weapon in my inventory and I already run out of levels to repair this.

"I commend you for your bravery to fight until the end, Outsider, but this has to end." The Ender Dragon said.

I started slowly walking towards her and stop about 10 blocks away.

I stared at the Ender Dragon and she started laughing.

She straightened herself and she looks a lot taller right now.

"The Goddess is the Alpha and I'm the Omega. She is the creator of all things and I will be the one who will destroy it. I'm born from humanity's darkest side and they are waiting for me to end their suffering. Do you really think that you can stop me?"

I don't really care about the things the Ender Dragon is saying and just prepare myself for the battle.

I spit the blood accumulating in my mouth to the ground and opened my status to see my health.

**************

Status: Critical

Health: ?

**************

This is it. I don't really mind dying right now as long as I'm back in my own world but I guess there no one here who will hear my wishes.

I bend my legs and leaped towards the Ender Dragon.

I am swinging my sword towards the Ender Dragon and she opened her mouth and was about to breathe a purple fire.
