Dark Reign -Rise to Power-: Chapter 1

Dawn broke out. The alliance was triumphant. Oda, Takeda, and Uesugi return to Vigil's keep. As they celebrate in victory. 

"Rejoice!" Eden Oda shouted to the many people in the Great Hall. "The barbarian rabble has been driven to near extinction!" the crowd cheered on, "On this day! We are finally free!" she yelled towards the masses. The crowd gave a huge uproar of applause and celebration. Everyone was celebrating, drinking, dancing, telling stories, discussing things. I mean the place was much alive that night. You can see the lights from the city. "Congratulations milady" said an old man as she approached Eden Oda, "Ah Chancellor Vorador! Thank you so much" she said as she shook his hand and gave a hug, "Ah my dear girl your parents will be proud of you!" he said, as he looked onward towards her many followers, "Incredible isn't? A female general claiming victory over a bunch of empty headed fools" Vorador said this as he looked towards Takeda and Uesugi, "Those two, you included. are great generals. Exalted among man. They will sing stories of you three for many ages to come" he said as he sipped his tea, Before Eden can respond to his statement, horns blew in the hall.

"Ladies and gentleman of Vigil's Keep! The King of Drangleic!" Everyone was in awe and bowed before their king, "Your majesty" said Oda, Takeda, and Uesugi in unison as they pay homage to their king. "Arise!" said the king, "Today this was a might victory, let the fallen be remember and let the heroes forever be remember for their countless sacrifice and heroic deeds". The king said this as he raise his cup, followed by everyone else and the king yelled, "The Dawn has come!" everyone then resumed their original activities during the festivities. "Eden can i speak with you privately?" said the king, "As you wish" she stated as they both departed for the ramparts.

"What does kingdom mean to you girl?" the King asked her in a candid manner, "Well your majesty, it means rule over your people. Govern them well, and maintain the peace and balance between the noble class and the classes below them" she said as they both walk across the ramparts. The king laughed and said, "Smart lass" he stated. "Come to the capital, and i will give you a taste of power. You are the Warden of the south. Wear that title proud!" he patted her shoulder and departed from her sight. Eden smiled and sat on the ground and said to herself, "Incredible".

Soon a messenger arrive on the scene, "Lady Oda!" shouted the man, "Yes. what is it?" said Eden as she got off the ground in earnest, "*pants* it's *pants* your son. He is returning in a few days" the man said, he bowed and departed to tend to his other duties. Eden was given the letter from her son, she opened it, and read it. After a few seconds she smiled, and realized she hasn't smiled like this for a long time.
