KNIGHTS OF LAZARD(Rise with dark hour)

Think for a decision.

"Hers`s your tea, sir" "Here`s your tea, sir" presented a waitress cup of tea in front of Allison.

"Thank you" smiled Allison at her and took a sip.

"We freshly baked corrosion, would you like to try some of it?"

"No problem. It will be a good breakfast" agreed on the boy and the waitress left into the restaurant, Sitting in a restaurant, on the side road, where people passed by, heading to their places as their daily routines, questions gathered in Allison`s head wondering how was it possible that after such a terrifying event that took place in our history as a black time, a city can be born. Viewing from his position, the street where the restaurant was located didn`t seem to be in a bad shape, compared to the world.

Due to the unforgettable and horrible Apocalypse that was left behind in some human`s mind pus, in a track of some era, there were large abnormal-looking plants grown in the street, bluegrasses, damaged walls, and incomplete buildings.

On the bright side, there were neat roads, painted well houses complete with bricks, the neat street with Lamps for light, shops, and restaurants opened to serve their bellies.

It has just crossed 70 years after the red disaster some wounds of the earth were still fresh as the same were on the lands, however, no matter the pains and struggles, one has to proceed to live. Staying an idol or live like a deads was never, would never, and will never work. though they were chance like radius attack, illness, or disaster, remember mankind has to take the next page even after crossing Wars or life-threatening events.

Allison was watching outside the window while having his tea. Right after he left the station, he was about to head for his new, lifetime job but, he quickly turned away his road to a side street and stopped in a restaurant away from busy sights to help him make the decision.

Staring outside at a small flower pot placed on the table, hundreds to thousands of questions still went on creating in his mind. Though he knew not all were going to get answers, one above all has to get answered and that was whether he should go to the new place or quit it.

Diving into his pant`s pocket, he pulled out an envelope, opening it, a blue transparent board made out of glass material came out in a form of a card, There were writings on it. As he stared at it, a flash of memory passed his head.

When he was too young, around 11-14 years, he was busy packing up his stuff in a bag while been in a dark dum room with only a candle to light his way. A young girl entered his room and got shocked to find him doing this in reason of running away from home. She hurried her steps towards him and slapped him hard on his face that he dropped on the floor. "How could you?!' she yelled in anger at him, 'how could you do this to us?'

Without a word, little Allison stood up, moved away from her, returning to his packing. This raised her rage and she was about to it him when a voice stopped her, "Maya, that`s enough!"

" But!' she wanted to argue but couldn't do.

"If I were in his shoes, I would do the same too!' said another girl coming inside. While passing by, she smiled at her sister and went to Allison who was still arranging, "Take this.." she showed him the enviable. This caught his attention as he stopped turning to it, "This was yours...but we didn`t give you." she added, "No idea what lies inside it however when you reach the age 22 then attend it."

Allison took it and she walked away saying. "you have been through a lot. From now wards take care of yourself...."

At present, Allison was 20 and he chose to take the road. Reading the sentence on it several times, he nonstop remembers the furious battle back there in the train Nero between the knight Sero and the white wing Actor.

If it was a normal disturbed, a person might go crazy, wondering what would happen if he/she were in the knight's place causing them terror in their hearts, knowing they would be no match to that creature. Like a flip of this side, in Allison`s mind this statement was presented, not as an annoying path but, kind of kept wondering whether he was suited to carry this out. He asked inwards, "I do know some fighting moves and skills with a weapon but, it`s` worrying to think when it comes to actions, moves, and speed....ahhh" he laid on the table over his arm, I might end up getting chopped like mince by the start.." he moans in irritating.

At that moment, the waitress arrived with a plate of corrosion, piped with whipping cream, and delighted with chocolate, "Here you go, sir" she presented the plate on the table.

Anyone looking at this desert would hop on the plate in excitement. But, for Allison, this was boring. He stared at the plate, still lost in his thoughts, "Should I go or no?"

"Are you alright, sir? you seem troubled?" she asked as a helpful waitress.

"I am. Thanks for asking' he sat up, hiding away the card inside the pocket without the enviable. He picked up a spoon and ate it, "mmm, it`s good. Never expected this find this here." The waitress giggled and replied,

"It`s a good thing we get it in such a harsh time. I think it`s all thanks to knights of Lazardthat we are surviving here on the damaged earth......Not like the outside world where we barely eat." her voice turned sad.

The spoon stopped and Allison sent his glace at the empty envelope. Thinking for a while he asked,

Question if you don`t mind?'

"Yes, sir" surprise the waitress.

"What do you think about this city called Selan?"

The young girl`s expression faded as she looked at the road outside at the neat street and red sky,

"It`s better than the outside world. There we can`t have even a drop of water easily. Barely, we eat something. There`s no value to one another cause their life system including everything is ruined and many are not greedy to stand back on their feet. From the outside, Selan is the only city to ever exist on the earth. Here, this place is hope for humanity. We know we can`t live long cause there is duration but, at least there is a sense of living here. This place is a meaning of hope cause the knights are giving their best here. They live here and take care of us too as their members." the girl had much to say however, the deep sorrows are within her voice which could not create words out of it.

Allison knew most of it but, didn`t say a word to go on. Some feelings can only stay as feeling rather than converting them into voices. They are the most difficult ones to understand and only experience and get the long sheet of the idea.

As he paused just for a minute another voice came up, "Ah! finally, I found you..."

"Huh?" both looked up and saw a young man coming to them and stood in front of Allison`s table, "I have been looking for you everywhere, Allison," he said. Surprisingly, this man even knew his name which shocked the boy and he asked,

"May I know who you are? You even know my name?" he was getting curious.

The young man smiled lightly and looked at the waitress. Upon understanding, she bowed apologizing, "Excuse me, I should be leaving for my work" and she dismissed me.

Allison watched her leaving away behind the reception table then turned to the new arrival man and asked, "and you are?"

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Rade Ostophen and I am a member from the base of the Knights of the Lazard.." This shocked Allison out of his skin, making him speechless.
