Chapter 2 - Potential discovery

The war between the Arcades and Kings caused a huge silence.

We remember in chapter one when kalamari jumped off a cliff.

That event caused him do go hidden for twelve years.

It was almost like he vanished but his spirit was at rest preparing him for the greater war to come.

Time to time the overlord trained Kalamari if the spirit world to make sure he discoverers his true potentials.

Years passed the other kingdoms lived in fear because of the death of the Overlord.

So it's been twelve years no one have heard from the new overlord.

Until a stray fisherman finds Kalamari s body while coming back from fishing.

Kalamari lying lifeless, the fisherman says.

"Oh my goodness. This is a very high rank warrior. What is he doing here. Is he dead?".

The Fisherman is also a master but he happens to be a stray.

He doesn't belong to any kingdom.

And he could tell Kalamari was a high ranked warrior, from just looking at him.

"Huh. He's still breathing. I have to help him".

Said the Fisherman.

The Fisherman helps Kalamari and takes him to his place in the woods.

So technically the Fisherman happened to be a master that taught himself everything he knows.

So he didn't get to have a master like every warrior did.

But some how he happen to be a very powerful old man.

His story was so heartbreaking that he had to leave his kingdom and lived in the woods for sixty two years.

The Fisherman name is Togiru.

Lost his parents, sister and best friend, because his family happens to owe a huge amount of money and the business man they borrowed from doesn't play with his finances.

So he tried killing everyone that owed him.

Amongst every kill he made, Togiru managed to escape.

Because of this Master Togiru had to isolate himself from his home.

As time went on he got use to the woods and decided to never go back.

So he taught himself the ways of a B rank warrior, just in case he came in contact with any threats.

He has lived in the woods long enough that he has traps everywhere around his hut.

For an old man he is actually a survivor.

"What... What's... Going on. Where am I ?".

(Slowly asking as he wakes up)

Kalamari felt a little bit energized.

Well that's because Master Togiru gave him something to make his Mana reawaken.

As he slowly gets up he sees an old man sitting in front of him.

"Greetings warrior. How do you feel?".

Said Master Togiru.

"Warrior?. Am no warrior. Where am I. What happened to me". Kalamari replied.

The master was in shock and couldn't believe some one that strong isn't a warrior.

So he assumed he has probably lost his memories.

So he asked "What kingdom do you serve?".

Slowly the memories started flashing before his eyes.

He replied with sudden remembrance

"Arcade. I think I remember where am from. Where are the rest?. Master olark. He was in trouble where is he. I think he needs my help".

At that point Master Togiru said in his mind "he is probably mad. How did I bring a mad man into my hut. Did he say he's from Arcade and he made mention of Master olark".

"What year does he think he is in?".

"Sorry what's your name Young warrior?".

He asked Kalamari.

"It's Kalamari. I am Kalamari of the Hatiru house hold".

He replied.

While he was looking down he said.

"I heard you think. What year is this?. And what happened to master olark?".

Master Togiru was overwhelmed by Kalamari cause he could hear his thoughts.

He has never seen any warrior with such abilities. Legends say the Overlord is the only one that had the power to know the heart desires of every citizen in every kingdom.

"How did you?. Kalamari you say?. You claimed to be from the Hatiru house hold?.

Well the Hatiru house hold went down with the entire Arcade. I am surprised to see you are from the Arcade".

"Everyone knew the story of how the Kings wiped the Arcades leaving no warrior alive.

Are you sure that's where you are from?".

Asked Master Togiru.

That moment Kalamari remembers the scene where he was running form the kings warriors.

(Says with so much range) "The Kings. They took everything from me. So you are telling me that I am the only Arcade warrior?".

Kalamari asked.

"Oh now you admit you are a warrior. Well technically yes you are the first one I have seen since the fall of Arcade twelve years ago". Master Togiru replied.

It still remains a shock to him on how long it's been. He requested to go to the Arcades Kingdom to know what really happened, he needed answers.

So Master Togiru gave him new clothes and two axe like blade just in case of any threat.

Later that day Kalamari went scouting in the lands of Arcades.

All he could see was a lost land filled with bones and ashes.

He took a stroll to the councils Hall of discussion, where the fight between Master olark and Veth took place.

He kneels down as he sees Master olark Beed of honor on his skeleton.

"I am sorry Master I failed you. I failed everyone. Please let your soul forgive me in spirit and in mortal flesh". Said Kalamari.

He stood and saw his mother's face flash in his eyes.

Then he quickly remembered his mother was also present during the war, so he quickly runs to his old place.

On getting there he saw his place burnt and destroyed.

Couldn't find his mother's skeleton or ash but he remembers the her last words.

"I am sorry kalamari. I hope you are safe wherever you are. i love you and my soul will always be with you".

Those were the words she said before she died.

After a long day of scouting around the lands of Arcades, Kalamari figured out something.

Every Master had an apprentice for some reason he feels some connection, almost like he could tell that they are more Arcadians out there.

Kalamari went back to Master Togiru's hut.

"Master Togiru there's something I've to tell to. And it's about the fate of the Arcades. I believe there's more Arcadians out there. I can tell because I'm not just a warrior. I am ".(with a huge suspense).

He reveals his real identity to Master Togiru.

Find out what happens next in chapter three.
