The Awakening Dilemma

| Theist Country, Zao Thesis |
I would like to apologize to the residents of the Country’s Southeast section for not just the recent chaos, but also the disturbance, the confusion, and fear that the Zion Village has caused to this section in this year’s Gallant Battle, there is nothing we could have done to stop it, but all we can do now is attend to it, make sure to fix what happened, and also make sure it won’t happen again in the future, I’ve been living in this section of the Country for many, many years now, for free too, thanks to the wonderful apartment of the General of this section, and it would not be right for me to begin this kind of chaos, that’s why it’s just right for me to donate the prize I won for this year’s Gallant Battle to this Country that I’m always grateful for, and always will.
Suzy Tereus gave a speech after she gave the bounty reward to the Southeast section of the Theist Country.
The Southeast Thespians cheered for Suzy as they all celebrated the beginning of the Southeast section’s rebuilding.
She’s livening up the Thespians’ energies and spirits as she reassures them that everything will be alright, I don’t know if she’s a Commander, a Heroine, or the Theist Head, she sounds like all of them at the same time, I wonder if I will be surprised or not if she ever becomes the Head of this Country, I don’t want to know, right now, it is best to have her by our side.
The Southeast Commander’s thought thoroughly after getting impressed by Suzy’s speech.
After that, Suzy is on her way to leave the Southeast, the Southeast and the West Commander and their Generals went to see her off.
I’m grateful, Madam Suzy, I didn’t think I would get my chance to work with you, such an honor.
The West Commander said; thankful to be working with Suzy.
No, I’m grateful because if not for you, things will get more difficult for us to prove our case wrong.
Suzy said, thanking the West Commander.
With that said, though everything was caused by something out of our reach, I do apologize for that but thank you since even though this happened, you never abandoned us, like any other heroes or champions that we’ve once had in our Country.
The Southeast Commander said, thanking Suzy.
I’m glad to hear that, Generals, Commanders, I’ll be on my way back to the Village now, I will return if the rebuilding was done, I’ll see you sooner or later.
Suzy said, bidding her farewell before leaving.
Take care on the way, Madam.
Suzy then left the Theist Country to head back to the Zion Village.
That was a successful reparation, I don’t think I could have done it without any help, I can only go so far on my own really, now, time to give the Zion Village the bounty we won for defending against many attackers from the Theist Country.
Suzy thought after leaving the Theist Country through the Southeast Gate.

Suzy then returned to the Village and because it’s already nighttime, only a few of the Zionists greeted her back.
Good evening, Suzy, did your work in the Country go smoothly?
The Zionists are all aware that Suzy is not just working in the Country, but they also know her status in the Country as well, they don’t do the same thing in the Zion Village, but they still revered her unconditionally because she respected the Zionist back and her honesty to them, something she can’t do in the Country because she knows that almost or more than half of them don’t trust her.
It went well, are you not sleeping?
Suzy replied to the Zionist’s question, she then asked him.
I’m just finishing this before I head back, I can’t afford to slack off, I do have a fixed sleeping schedule so don’t worry, I will have a great sleep later after this.
Okay, I’ll be heading to my home now, good night.
Suzy said after hearing his answer, she then headed to her home after saying good night.
Good night as well, Suzy, sleep well.
She then headed to her home in the Village afterward; she first went through the Village Tower to inform the Elders that she has returned.
After Suzy did, she slammed herself on her bed due to exhaustion.
It’s been a while since I got this tired, I hope I get some easy time tomorrow, well, I’ll just force myself to have one, I can still do that.
Suzy thought as she relaxed herself on her bed.
She then remembered the Awakening that Nen and the Elders of the Zion Village told her.
That’s going to be a pain, why do we need to be born as Guerres? It’s bothersome.
Suzy said as she sat up again after remembering what they said to her.
She then took out the Scroll of the Angus afterward to look at what’s written in the Scroll.
A few minutes later, Suzy was done reading what’s inside the Scroll.
This is a Gold marked Scroll, written is a Lending Request to the Angus Tribe to have me use an item they possess that can help me establish my body for the Awakening, I wonder what item that is, and how this Awakening will happen, do I need to activate something or is it instantaneous the moment my body is established? Either way, I will have to venture to the Angus Tribe, this process will be a long and frustrating journey, and I thought I’m done with that tribe already.
Suzy told herself after she assessed the Scroll.
Suzy Tereus trained her staff mastery in the Angus Tribe for a whole year, that is why the Zion Village and the Angus Tribe is connected, and they have the Scroll of the Angus, with Gold Mark as well, Suzy was an outstanding staff master that she has to be released after a year of her training because she has mastered the staff in just 7 months, and they have to force the Tribe to return her to the Zion Village, forcefully that they have to give the Zion Village many gifts once they take her back.
And Suzy has to deal with the bullying of many of the warriors there, not because she’s weak, but because she’s too skilled, they harassed her verbally because they all know they’re powerless against her in a Tribe where power comes is over position and wealth.
The Angus Tribe has been one of the strongest Tribes to stand amongst the Zao Thesis Tribes of warriors; they are known to be the strongest when it comes to spearmen, they don’t accept warriors from other Villages, Tribes, and other civilizations easily because they are very strict with their policies to train warriors.
Suzy was the first Guerre that they have trained because most Guerres never train their physical abilities and weaponry skills, and they all go train their Mana-powered abilities instead.
I wonder if I can get Faro to join me.
Suzy asked herself before she went back to sleeping afterward.
Suzy then slept soundly after the Gallant Battle ended and a whole day’s work, without rest in between.
She then waits for a few days for Faro to return because that’s what they’ve discussed for him to do so that he won’t be captured and have the Theist Country be suspicious of him.

The Gallant Battle has ended, I didn’t even get to enjoy it as much because the Commanders surrendered, they might have been able to defeat Suzy because the East Commander is a Guerre, meaning he would not have any chance in defeating Suzy unless the other Commanders helped him.
Faro thought.
He then entered the Sanction again after the Gallant Battle ended.
Oh, is the battle done?
The Sanction Master asked Faro.
It is, this year’s Gallant Battle has ended, luckily it ended without any additions, if there are, the only close thing is what happened in the Southeast section of the Country, but I assume that they would resolve it after the Commanders have surrendered and stopped their attacking.
Faro answered the Sanction Master’s question.
Though I wonder what Suzy told them for them to surrender, and how she did it?
Faro thought, asking himself.
That’s great, aren’t you hungry? You’ve been on that balcony for several hours now, don’t tell me you are on training to not eat because we’ve prepared dishes for you to eat, it’s been many whiles since we had a visitor, and you’re young so you should get healthy.
The Sanction Master said, asking him if he wants to eat.
I can pay for it; I don’t want to be a burden.
Faro said, suggesting to him.
Then you can wash the plates then because your payment is supposed to come with not just your place to stay and sleep in but also your food, you are a very kind individual.
The Sanction Master told him as he leads the way to the dining area.
Faro then followed him there to eat food, because he has skipped lunch, he will be eating in the afternoon.
Welcome to the Dining area of the Sanction, shall we eat?
The Sanction Master asked after arriving at the Dining area.
They then ate food; the Sanction Master ate something different from what Faro ate because he is a different being altogether, Faro ate a Galvanized Bulwark Meat, he didn’t bother to check what the Sanction Master ate because he was raised to not bother what others are eating, but that doesn’t stop him from talking.
So do you work alone or are there others that are switching with you through shifts?
Faro asked him.
I work alone because I don’t want my people here to be bothered, they’re here, but they don’t want to exit if there is a visitor.
The Sanction Master answered his question.
How do they eat? Are they able to clean themselves since hiding themselves will make you really smelly and dirty? I know because I’ve done it before.
Faro asked him about his people.
Faro, my boy, we are wealthy enough to give my people an area to rest in with cleaning area and food, I replenish their food every month, and if they don’t last with that food, then they will have to survive not eating until the next month arrived, this is a Sanction, so that’s just how it is.
The Sanction Master replied, answering Faro’s questions.
I guess that makes sense, this place is big, can I look around after I’m done with doing the dishes?
Faro said, asking him again,
You can, but you can’t go in the basement, that’s where my people are, you don’t have the authority and the power to head there, understood?
The Sanction Master told him after replying.
Yes, Sanction Master.
Faro said.
How about you, Faro? What do you do in your Country?
The Sanction Master asked him.
I’m a Commander; I’m here because I need to get away from the continuous and nonstop fighting in the Theist Country and the Seven Ancient Villages, and when I went on with my journey, looking for a place to stay in, I saw the stairs of the Zao Hills Sanction and I got here, well, first and for most, I have a close friend that I am in love with, she was with me before I left the shenanigans that are happening there, and I want her to accept my feelings, hopefully, get hers as well, I will have to work my butt off to do so.
Faro explained to the Sanction Master about him, his job, and Suzy.
Can I get a name?
The Sanction Master asked as he was intrigued.
Her name is Suzy Tereus, and she is the strongest individual amongst all of us there.
Faro answered, giving her name.
Interesting.
The Sanction Master thought, interested after hearing her name.
After he ate his food, he went and washed the dishes.
And 3 days have passed, him without violating any of the Sanction Master’s rules in the Sanction, he is finally going to leave the Sanction.
You never violated the Sanction’s rules, at least, what I told you to do and not do, you are a kind individual, with a good heart, Faro, leave this place without any remorse and bad intention to return, only return here if you need be, do I make myself clear?
The Sanction Master asked him after praising him.
Yes, Sanction Master, this is the Sanction, the Zao Hills Sanction no less, I will only return here if need be or if I have no choice and other places to go to, I bid you good well, Sanction Master, I want to see you again, you are an interesting individual, a scary one too, honestly.
Faro said, answering his question.
*chuckles*, You don’t seem to make my interest drop, anyway, good luck on your journey back, and good luck with your endeavors, Faro of the Auden Village.
The Sanction Master said.
Faro then left the Zao Hills Sanction, the Sanction Master returned inside the Sanction to watch Faro leave.
Good luck, Faro of the Auden, I hope what you are successful with whatever you will be doing.
The Sanction Master said.
He then saw Faro jumping down the Zao Hills to get down quickly.
He’s certainly lively.
The Sanction Master thought.
Faro then returned to the Theist Country.
