The next morning…

’So it wasn’t a weird fantasy dream of mine.’ Jason sighed in relief when he found Amber sleeping right next to him.

He had been thinking that he had imagined the entire night but he was wrong. Amber had actually been with him throughout the night.

Slowly, Jason got up from his bed and entered the bathroom. By the time he was out, Amber had woken up and was stretching her arms on the bed.

"Morning." She greeted while stifling a yawn.

"Got a good night sleep?" Jason smiled.

"I did. What about you?"

"I slept peacefully without worrying about anything. Didn’t have any dreams either."

Jason came to sit on the bed before slowly lowering his head onto Amber’s lap. It was much more comfortable than lying on a pillow and gave Jason a sudden rush of happiness.

"Maybe you can sleep for another half an hour. I am sure no one would mind." Amber smiled as she relaxed back.

Jason was about to close his eyes to sleep when someone knocked on his door. He immediately sprang up and went to check who was outside.

"Morning grandma." Jason greeted Risa who was standing right outside his door.

"Come outside quickly. There is something important that needs to be discussed." Risa said in a serious tone and turned around to leave. But just before walking away, she chuckled lightly and said, "Ask Amber to come down as well."

’Nothing escapes her eyes.’ Jason sighed as he looked back inside the room and told Amber about Risa’s instructions.

Amber sighed as well and stood up from the bed. Without saying anything, she entered the bathroom and started getting herself ready.

Jason waited for her outside and much to his surprise, it took her ten minutes to get out. This made him question several things at once but he soon shook them away.

"Let’s go down. I am sure Risa came to tell us about the meeting early on." Jason instructed.

"Your grandma is on a whole other level. Now I know why my grandmother called Risa her best friend…" Amber sighed before intertwining one of her arms with Jason’s arms.

"You do know that people will take it that way?"

"I do and I don’t care unless you got a problem about this."

"Never said I didn’t like it." Jason smiled as the two of them descended down.

No one was present inside the Syrward family manor with the exception of Issac. Jason’s grandfather saw them together once and whistled.

"Good job." Issac commented before getting up from his seat. "I would like to hear more about your night but we have to go outside to discuss whether we will be alive for another day or not."

"Nothing major happened, grandpa." Jason cleared just in case Issac was thinking of something naughty.

"It’s the minor details that make things more interested." Issac winked. "Let’s go outside. Risa has a message waiting for all of us. I am sure that it will spell ninety percent death for us."

"And the remaining ten?" Amber asked.

"Those are the chances of survival. All I know is that some people will definitely die and in order to win this, some sacrifices have to be made…" Issac sighed.

The trio walked out of the house and went to stand near a tree where the most important people present in Duphia were standing.

Risa was floating in the sky in front of them and had a grim expression on her face.

"Now that all of us are gathered here, I would like to announce that we might be lying dead in about twenty-four hours." Risa announced once the trio had mixed in with the crowd.

A few people were surprised but the rest of them remained calm. They had fought Julian before and knew how his mind worked.

They had expected him to attack them the moment he gained enough manpower to do it.

"I talked to some people on the inside and found out that more than a million people, including soldiers from our neighboring kingdoms are coming to attack us. They are being led by the remaining commanders and will reach us in twenty four hours.

Amon also confirmed that a much larger population of humans was heading towards the capital of the demon continent to kill the king and bind the seven sins. Both of us are going to face heavy attacks." Risa explained in detail.

"Are you sure that there is no other family on the entire continent who is willing to help us?" Matt questioned.

"You already know that Julian has all the other families under his command. Our relationships were never that great either. If not for Jason, all of us would be under his control as well." Brian reminded.

Soon enough, everyone started discussing ways to stop the attack and stated their opinions aloud.

After almost an hour of discussing ways to fight against Julian, a draft was finalized upon. Due to the time limitation, the family heads couldn’t afford modifications and simply decided to implement the plan.

"As we all know, the commanders will only get stronger with a decrease in their numbers. Once we have defeated the weaker bunch, only a certain group of people will be allowed to fight the remaining commanders.

These include Jason, Amber, Matt, Brian, Orion, Nora, Andrew, Issac, Ray, Zara…" Risa went on take more names which included Zeke’s grandpa and many others from the major families.

All in total, fifty people were allowed to fight against the commanders once their numbers had been reduced.

"Remember that our numbers are only around ten thousand combined and we will be facing two million warriors. We are going to face many loses so I hope all of you are prepared for it." Risa announced at last before dispersing the crowd.

Everyone started moving towards the destination they had in mind but were stopped by someone’s voice.

"Are all of them soldiers willing to fight us?" Orion asked in a loud and clear voice.

"No, they are not." Risa replied calmly.

"Then you are saying that we are about to kill millions of innocents?"

"That’s what war is, kid. People die in large amounts, and no one is ever right or wrong. It will just show who was left alive to change the things." Risa replied while maintaining her calm.

"If that’s what war is, I don’t want this war…" Orion suddenly vanished from his spot with the use of teleportation magic.

Though he had vanished, his words had left an impact on those who had heard them.

Could they even fight so many people knowing they would be killing innocents?
