Present Day.....
"Mother!" shouted her son as he greets her. "Ah. My son!, glory shall be yours for this mighty deed" she said as she hug him tightly. "It has been.....too long" she said, "I miss my children" she said with a tear coming down her eye. "Ah don't worry about us mother. You taught us everything" Ethan said with a smile for joy to see his mother again. "Where's Elana?" Vorador said as he looked around for her. "My daughter. She is away at the academy. She won't be returning anytime soon. But she does send her love to us from half way across the world" Eden said as the three began walking towards the palace.
"It has been indeed this long!" shouted Ocato with happiness. Ocato greets the Oda's and Vorador with a low tone. "Ethan. Eden. *low voice* Vorador" he said, Vorador laughed and patted him on the shoulder saying, "See. I told you one of these days it will happen. But you refuse to believe such things". The group began to feel uncomfortable for a minute or so. It was really an awkward silent moment. For you see, Vorador predicted that the Oda's will enter the capital. And claim regency. But Ocato believe this act will have Takeda and Uesugi marching from their territories in earnest. Luckily Ocato's prediction was wrong.
The city remained intact. While the palace took damage during the assault. "The traitorous eunuchs scramble to the hills. They won't return anytime soon" said an officer as he gave his report before leaving, as the group entered the main hall of the palace. "Before we go in further, It is manners of this household that we show our gratitude" said Ocato. The three nodded in agreement and proceed to meet the king of these lands. "Ah! The Oda clan, we thank you for saving this kingdom from our own political infrastructure" the young boy king said as he drank lilac wine. The three kowtow in humble grace, and said in unison, "We thank you. Thy majesty of Drangleic". The young boy king stood up and said, "We shall have a grand ceremony for the saviors of this kingdom. I shall appoint Eden Oda. The head of the Oda clan. As regent. I expect the most from you within this station".
Evening came.
The Oda officers and generals, the young boy king. Everyone, was celebrating during the evening in the gardens of the palace. "Next up. It's the young king's favorite play" said the host of the evening's event. Everyone clapped as the play began, During the play Ethan was curious as to why Takeda and Uesugi would be trouble, so he asked Vorador "*Ahem* why Takeda and Uesugi? Vorador?" he said as he leaned over to him, Vorador gave a brief scoff and said to Ethan, "Because. The other houses won't dare budge. Only Takeda and Uesugi would take high interest in his majesty's safety" he said, As the play ended and everyone gave a clap. The host came on stage and announced the finale act. "For tonight's finale. We present to you the most beautiful dancers from the four corners of this empire" the host said once more as he departed from the stage. The dancers appeared, very beautiful and majestic, all wearing ivory cloth, with jewelry and makeup you won't find here in the capital.
As the dance went on. And as everyone was relaxing, a young officer came into the room. "Psst. Commander" he said, Ethan got up and left to see what is up. "What is it?" he asked, the young officer whispered, "You were right". the young officer departed, Ethan stood there for a brief moment of silence when suddenly, "Assassins!" shouted the palace workers! "Everyone scatter!" the garden was then an instance war zone once again. The assassin's were fast. While the Oda were plenty, ability seemed to be on the enemies side, "Dammit!" shouted Maeda, "Their too many!" shouted another, "Kill Eden Oda!" shouted the assassin commander. As he lunged forward only to instantly be killed by Vorador, "Hmph! Pathetic dogs!" he bellowed. Eden Oda found herself surrounded. Not only that but in a sea of fire, "Come" said Eden with a cold look. Two assassins lunged forward, one was instantly killed, the other was blinded by her cape as Eden struck the other assassin down.
Meanwhile, Ethan Oda also held his own but was severely outnumbered. "Will you give me? The Demon King a good death?" he shouted. The assassins came forward and one by one they were struck down, however one assassin managed to wrapped his sword in chains and then outmaneuver around Ethan to pin him for the kill. As the assassins sprang on him, a woman shouted. "Brother! No!" the woman instantly killed the assassins. The danger was over, Ethan recovered as he looked up, it was a familiar face. This face was suppose to be at an academy way across the world. It was his sister. Elana Oda".
