  (Deva and a group of empyreans rushed to the place)

  Hey Deva, I’m so honored to have met you finally, you saved Leonce without any personal benefit, as humans even we hesitate to do that. I am sure you will create a new revolution and lead your people to peace and love.

  Royston, though I have quarreled with you many times, I love your impressive sketches. Take care of our father, convey to him that I was brave, love you brother, said Ameer and let out his last breath.

  Ameer, Ameer, wailed Royston and lifted Ameer’s head and kept it on his lap, Ameer look at me, Ameer, I want you to scold me, fight with me, please it’s not time, don’t leave like this. Wake up, what will I say to our father?

  It’s time to honor Ameer for his sacrifice to save Empyrea and the entire universe. We need to quit crying and revel in this proud moment, that we got to know someone like Ameer and give him a parade as fitting as a King, said Deva.

  The four friend’s Royston, Leonce, Manav, and Deva together lifted the body of Ameer. The empyreans took the body of Pitheceus to Armania.

  When they entered Armania with the slaughtered Ameer, most of the empyreans paid their tribute and prayed for him to rest in peace. Lord Royston as the Emperor ordered the empyreans to start the death formalities for both Ameer and Pitheceus. Lord Royston also ordered the messengers to take the death message of Pitheceus, to his father Lord Tyrant and to his sister Lord Kraity.

  Everyone seemed more concerned about Ameer’s death and facing the fear of death, especially Royston, who kept wandering the entire night along with Leonce and Manav.

  Manav!! It’s time to move to Sorgamia, come back to the borders of Armania and Nagamalya with your ape army by dawn tomorrow, said lord Royston.

  Lord Manav nodded his head and started to Sorgamia.

  Manav!! Just a minute, don’t let Ameer’s death confuse you, be strong. Along with the empyrean army, I will join you at the borders. We will have our revenge, said Leonce and sent him to Sorgamia.

  Lee tried reviving Lord Royston from his sadness,

  Emra (Sun) will be out within hours, we need to get ready for war. Though we are not prepared fully, we will forge ahead. Yes, I know the prince hasn’t returned and we have lost our brave Ameer too. Remember, the Empyreans are in fear to face the foe, prepare a motivational speech, get them to be mentally strong with your words. (Nodded Lord Royston) You need to stay strong first for that. I know the loss of Ameer is breaking your spirit. Indeed the loss is for each one of us. He sacrificed his life to eliminate the darkness in the future. Everything happens for good. Get some shut eye. Tomorrow, we will fight like winners and victory will be ours.

  Empyrea beckons you to the most magnificent war that you will ever experience….!

  Early morning on the war day, All the Empyreans gathered near the Emra temple at the dawn, worshipped him with full of trust and faith to save them from the cruel hands.

  After the worship, Lord Royston went to river Isis for getting the blessings from the godmother Isis.

  Royston, you look brave in this war costume. I am sure you will clinch the victory for our Armania, said Isis.

  (Royston genuflected)

  Royston!! Remember this war is to protect the universe which also includes the regions of Dinolaya and Nagamalya, don’t ravage the entire race. The war should bring peace at the end. The scepter of nature gives you the power of lava, water, fire, wind, etc. But, they are simply for the sake of the living entity’s desire to enjoy materially, and that there is a need for creation, you shouldn’t use that for destruction.

  Avoid offering resistance to the strong, but never fail to cherish enmity towards the weak. Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm. You need to lead Empyrea for peace, said Isis and sliced her thumb finger slightly and blessed Royston with her blood on his forehead.

  Go to our people and give a brighter smile, because a smile is a curve that sets everything straight to victory, it will cheer up yourself and the surrounding people. Be strong and trust the spirit guides they will not leave Empyrea lose its peace.

  After the blessing words of God mother Isis, Lord Royston came back to the camp and gave a brave speech to the empyreans.

  Today is going to turn out as a vital day in every one of our life, and this day will decide our future. I am not standing here as the Emperor. I am one among you, who have the inner courage to save our Empyrea from the cruel hands. Courage is what it takes us to stand up and fight. Courage is also what it leads us to face our foe without any fear.

  (Empyreans cheering)

  The difference between success and failure here could be the difference between hope and despair, never lose your faith, we will win this war and protect the universe.

  (Empyreans cheering)

  Tyrant and his daughter will be fearful and will approach to slaughter our heads. But, we don’t need to share the same opinion as them. We need to be respectful to ourselves because we are the heroes. The heroes who are not afraid of losing their lives in a war, they will not cool their ardor at any circumstances, I know everyone here are the heroes.

  Now we are going to split into two armies. Leonce and deva will head one army to the borders of Nagamalya, and the other will be led by Supreme Commander Edrick and by me to the borders of Dinolaya.

  Leonce and deva take 14,000 infantry army men, 6000 Elk back slicers, 2000 archers and 1000 Mastodon back smashers and join the Manav’s ape army. For rest, as we practiced we are going to form a hollow shaped war array and face the tyrant’s army.

  Tyrant’s ultimate aim will be conquering the throne, so give the solid fence to the palace by surrounding the mastodons and mammoths. Manav will be sending some of his apes to protect the palace from the flying Quetzalcoatlus. They will safeguard the palace from the terrace, bridges, and balconies along with our Elks, mammoths, and mastodons. We have the numbers, and we have the surprise part, the prince will join us in the war field along with his falconnian army anytime. Till that, we need to defend ourselves and fight against them.

  This is an army which knows the art of warding off an impending struggle and can bear against the dust van of a hostile force. Blow the couch let’s create the history, said Lord Royston with spirit.

  Let's do this for Ameer and to safeguard our earth from dangers, said Leonce and marshaled the troops towards the borders of Nagamalya along with Deva. Lord Royston and Edrick led their troops towards the borders of Dinolaya.

  At the borders of Dinolaya, Lord Tyrant is marching his army towards the Armania. The dino army stands vastly in numbers. There is more than 32,000 infantry tailed and non- tailed Dinomen soldiers, 6000 Velox back soldiers, 4000 Triceratop back smashers, 3000 Quetzalcoatlus back flaming archers. Lord Tyrant was riding his chariot, which is connected with four fastest velox and with a sharp rotating blade, which is fitted 10metres upfront with the chariot. The Array of dino army is so majestic, and it’s like replication of the dino bird Quetzalcoatlus.

  Lord tyrant is standing at the eye level of the bird, and the Triceratops are at the left wing, Velox back soldiers are at right wing, the infantry Dinomens are spread out everywhere like feathers, the group of Quetzalcoatlus back archers is flying up on the dino army replicating the same image. Lord tyrant’s chariot, Dinomens shields, and armors had the special insignia of the Dinolaya, which is the dino tail of tyrannosaurus.

  Meanwhile, Leonce and deva went to the borders of Nagamalya and joined with the arrogant ape army, where Lord Manav stands before a kneeling mass of apes awaiting for the war to come.

  Hello buddy, sorry for the delay, we had some early morning prayers at the temple. You look awesome in this red suite, and along with these black Vathroos, your look is terrifying. This red and black combination is so classy, said Leonce with awe.

  You are always funny lee, but my blood is raging to take the revenge for Ameer’s sacrifice, terrifyingly said Lord Manav.

  Every one of us has that temper Lord. Lee is trying to reduce it. Extreme
anger could block our eyes. We need to think and act, said deva.

  Leave that, we have serious problems. I could see the vast army of Kraity, will you get afraid and quit in the middle, asked Leonce.

  We’re outnumbered, out of time, and the fate of the world is at stake. Why do I quit? See my arrogant ape army, they are more than a thousand in numbers and adding the empyrean army it gives additional strength to us, excitingly said Lord Manav.

  Yes, I could see 26,000 infantry Vathroos, 7300 furious apes, 14,000 infantry empyrean army men, 7000 archers and 1000 mastodon back smashers in your crab formation. We would be outnumbering than the Kraity’s serpent army. We are viciously roaring like the sea, saying Leonce with Manav.

  What if a host of hostile rats roars like the sea, they will perish at the mere breath of the cobra. They are facing the serpent array of Lord Kraity at Nagamalya.

  Lord Kraity wears an ebra snake which coils around her upper arms and neck, like symbolizing the power she has got over the most deadly creatures. She also wears a golden snake crown and waiting in her chariot for the war to begin. The chariot has been connected with a peculiar Triceratop like a creature. Her flags had the symbol of two snakes facing each other with the sun and the moon below. There are more than 30,000 infantry Naga soldiers, 6000 flammable archers, 3000 giant snakes, and plenty of vicious snakes on the ground. The Array of Kraity is like a snake. Like her father, she also stands at the eye level of the snake, the giant snakes are at the hood of the formation, and the flammable archers are surrounding the hood, ready to make their attacks like a snake splitting the venom.

  Capture as many of the slaves, let them serve under my foot forever, ordering Lord Kraity to her serpent army.

  Ext. South battle field- Day

  Meanwhile, between the borders of Armania and Dinolaya, the empyrean army’s hollow square formation is all set to face the Lord Tyrant Seth’s Dino army.

  The army is ready, but there is no symbol of the prince. We need him to win this war, said Supreme Commander Edrick with Lord Royston.

  Lord Royston stared towards Falconnia without an answer.

  Yesterday while Lord Royston started from fefia, Ejeeth came out of the chamber and gave a message about the arrival of the prince.

  Ext. Fefia- last Night

  Royston!! Royston!! Called Ejeeth.

  Ahh!! Ejeeth, what happened?

  I need to tell you something. Strengthen your heart, this may destroy you, but this is the truth, saying Ejeeth.

  Something!!! About what, please be quick Ejeeth, Royston rushed in words.

  Royston, you are the Emperor of Empyrea, but you behave like an ordinary person with me, indeed to everyone. And you are treating me like your brother. It’s time to say you the truth.

  Ejeeth!! It’s time, the planet kasumbia has half covered the sun, and I need to reach sorgamia before the loss of a life, please be fast, panicked Royston.

  Royston!! Our prince won’t come back by tonight, Ejeeth shocked in his words.

  Hey, Ejeeth!! What are you saying, tomorrow tyrant‘s family will march with their army to conquer our Armania, we can’t win the war without the prince, tensed Royston.

  The sea level above the chamber has increased over the years, lord Emla’s (Moon) twilight won’t be enough to empower the star carvings, and I fear it could be empowered only by the lord Emra (Sun), that too only with the zenithal Emra in the noon, saying Ejeeth.

  Ejeeth!! Ejeeth!! We need you both to win this war, and I fear what would tyrant family planning to do tomorrow, said Royston with disappointment.

  Lord!! We will join as soon as I retrieve prince. Don’t say about our late arrival to the people and keep them motivated, said Ejeeth.

  As the Emperor that’s my responsibility to save my people. But, without prince how I could defeat tyrant, asked Royston.

  Don’t worry about that, concentrate on the war. Tomorrow, we will be there before noon, said Ejeeth.

  We will be waiting for you both at the war field, said Royston and paddled his boat.

  Ext. South battle field- Today

  Lord!! Lord!! What you are thinking about, I asked about the prince, asked Edrick in the war field.

  Edrick, the prince could come only at the midday, don’t say about this to the people, they will feel unprovoked, let’s start the war, let's trust the gods Emra and Emla to bring the prince soon, said Lord Royston.

  Ext. North battlefield-Day

  Lord Manav!!!! War is about to begin. Transform into an ape, said Leonce.

  No, I will use my powers only when its needed, let’s first send the infantry Vathroos to attack the upcoming infantry Naga army, said Lord Manav.

  But, at least outrage your ape arm, said lee.

  I do not need the ape arm, and I won’t use it even when I turn as Kong, I will make my revenge by tearing her in my single hand, bravely said Lord Manav.

  What!!!! But why…..?

  Life comes with many challenges, the ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of. He, who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life, said Lord Manav.

  What!!!! What do you mean!!! Why are you saying these at this time, asked lee with confusion!

  I prepared it last night for saying it to my army men, but neither they nor I can't understand the other's language, said Manav and grinned.

  Ext. Fefia- Day

  Ejeeth is lying on the eoffine box and worried about missing the war field. Phoenix form of Prince Horus is standing on the star carvings to empower it from the Emra rays for turning back to his body. But, because of the increase of sea level Lord Emra(sun) couldn’t able to empower the star carvings.

  The war must have started now, oh Lord Emra, please help us in bringing back our prince, we need your rays for empowering these star carvings, please help us, help the Empyrea, indeed assist the universe from the dark hands, prayed Ejeeth.

  Ext. Battlefields

  Simultaneously at Dinolaya and Nagamalya, the empyrean messengers went rushing towards lord Kraity and lord tyrant, by showing an empty white flag and stood a few meters away from them.

  Hahaha!!! The empyreans started to fell on my foot before clock ticks the war time, said tyrant with laughter in the borders of Dinolaya.

  He is looking like a messenger, said the tailed Dinomen in their dink language at the borders of Dinolaya, and in Nagali by a brown with white patterned Nagamen at the borders of Nagamalya.

  Messenger!!! Interesting, did my father or my brother conquered the Armania before I do. Ok, get the message from him, ordered Lord Kraity in Nagamalya.

  The tailed Dinomen & brown with white patterned Naga went towards the messenger in their places and collected the message from the empyreans. (Empyreans started back) The receivers with a shock in their faces returned to Lord Krsaity and Lord Tyrant.

  What’s the message!! Who conquered the Armania, Pitheceus or Kraity, that must be Pitheceus, excitingly said Lord Tyrant with a smile.

  I guess the message will be about my brother Pitheceus. He must have conquered Empyrea with his arrogant army, excitingly said Lord Kraity.

  Lord!!! The message is about Lord Pitheceus, but not a happy message. The message tells that, he left his soul out and they have started the death formalities in Armania, said the Dinomen in Dinolaya and the Nagamen in Nagamalya.

  My son!!!!!!!!! (War place echoed)

  Brother!!!!!!!!! (War place echoed)

  Lord Tyrant and Lord Kraity snarled in the battle field, and their blood got heated up in full of ire.
