In the Roothallow.
Ariana was on the balcony of the palace on Roothallow, looking at the battle field where many soldiers died fulfilling their duty when a pigeon come and sit on Ariana's shoulder and there it was-a letter on it's leg.
Ariana opened it slowly as if know from whom it is and yeah it was…Aria
Dear sister,
I an honorable by your letter that you gave me the opportunity, sister. I have send them into Minoka academy as you commanded. I am stronger now than before and i promise to never loss.
Do you remember when i asked you to took me on war with you-you promised me you will but i think i have to go myself. And i promise to win and make you and the kingdom proud.
Aria Asia
A small smile formed at the corner of her when Arnold approached.
"So she is ready now, huh" he said, amused.
" I believe in her that she is enough able for this and i think it's time for her to show her real strength on the battle field with real enemies" Aria replied-cold.
"And what about you? You never talked with me properly after the…kiss. It's been 1 year Ariana and you are still dealing with that thing"
"Don't you think we need to talk about it?" Arnold asked. Ariana turned to him-really looking at his eyes and there it was-hope.
In royal palace.
"Dagon kingdom is comming. The time is coming when you have to surpass yourself" Nolan said, standing beside Aria on the garden.
"But before that, i wamt to know your plan."
"I don't know. I only have one condition-to protect the kingdom, no matter what but i have to" Aria said looking on the horizon.
silence fill for a second before Aria again said.
" Mary and Ana are already gone. So you know what to do, don't you? Is everything ready?" she asked, voice firm and determined-not like a 15 year old little girl but a warrior of the battle field.
"Yeah. I already arranged everything. Even if their army is powerful but so of ours. We will never lose…not by them,not by anyone" Nolan said as like he was saying that they will never loss but his word made her more tense.
She looked on the ground and then on her hands. "First real battle, first real enemy, first real battle field and on the middle of it, everyone's expectations. I have to do it no matter what. I have to win" she thought on her mind and took a long breath.
" I am ready" Aria said.
" Dagon kingdom was waiting for it from a long time. When they knew that his Majesty and her Majesty isn't here-they made plan to attack on us but this time-we don't be weak and show them the real power of our empire. Let them know the taste of loss" Aria said, voice cold as ice and eyes burning like flames.
Next morning.
The sun hung on the sky and the soft hum of lights touched the walls of the palace.
"Is everything ready?" Aria asked.
"Yeah."
"Then let's go!" she shouted towards her soldiers " give your soul into it!"
"This time, Dagon kingdom think we are weak but they don't know i have my own forces and army. In this one year, i made myself strong enough to deal with any attack or battle. Are you all ready!" she shouted.
"Yeah" the soldiers shouted with agreement.
( Only in one year, there is many things which have changed and the most of it is her charecter. She is brave and responsible now. She did many development on the kingdom and i don't wanted to say but we all are proud of her) Nolan thought looked at her.
After a week, they arrived on the battle field.
" It's evening, we don't have much time. Make the Praetoriums" Aria ordered to the soldier and only in one hours everything was ready.
At night, outside Aria's praetorium.
"Hey! What are you doing here this late. it's cold outside, what if you caught a cold" Nolan said, putting his long coat on her shoulder.
" Go. I want some time alone for myself"
" If i was just an advisor, then maybe i followed your order but i think you are forgetting that i am also a friend. So now tell me, what happened? What is bothering you from inner?" Nolan demanded.
Then she look at him and on that time he saw her trembling hands.
" Before this, i never went on wars. This is my first time and i don't know if i could win or not. Even if i am showing that i am strong but i am afraid Nolan"
" I know. And i can understand because this is not just only your first time but all of
us-very solder who has came with us and do you know why we are here today! Because we believe in you."
"Thank you, I promise to give my best and never fall down."
