Chapter 266 - The Red Empire, Azria (2)

"he was escorted to one of his allies" Johnathan said a few days later.

"That's good" Gaze said as she pushed her hair back. "Johnathan, bring me those that you deem worthy among your members, worry to be Red Guards"

Johnathan had a look of excitement "Yes, Your Majesty" he said as he quickly left and gathered his people.

Gaze lifted up a large hand mirror that was left for her on the side of the night-table, The RV was a rather comfortable ride. They had also been in some battles with Silvers and have been successful so far. The journey will most likely take around 2 more months, taking into account of the limited number of vehicles, food, resources, and the exhaustion of the Reds, as well as the long ride over the sea. This is what can be managed since going through air will get them caught immediately.

Mental she is worn, but physically she is in perfect condition. Gaze touched her face lightly and looked deep into her chocolate eyes, she should have violet eyes. Setting down her hand mirror she got up from her bed she weaved her small feet around, she never liked wearing shoes or socks. Getting up she slowly walked out of the RV trailer, they where camped out in some plains surrounded by forest. Their where many cars, a few tanks front and back, The RV she was in was armored to the extreme. Perhaps for her safety although their where other RVs they weren't as armored as hers was.

There is a lot more people travelling with them then expected, she had heard while on the journey many Reds have joined. But, this number isn't safe their could be over a thousand people. The Plains stretched very far, enough for a small town.

Gaze looked at her hands, if only she could bring them all over to Azria (The Former Red Empire). She could probably do, since she had done it before with the children. But, she just doesn't know how and that should be an excuse for someone like her.

Looking at all these people, the reality finally sinks in. She honestly didn't have time, she had just woken up with no memory and then she was shoot abruptly, only to wake up twenty years later, and then not a month passed before she was thrust into the capital of 'enemy' territory.

She knows, she knows, but never had time to adjust.

So many people stood before her, Jonathan's chosen where already gathered up. 'I have to accept it now, since people need me' Gaze solemnly thought as she stood off of the RV with her bare feet. The field of grass glowed and bloomed into a field of flowers, surprising everyone as in that moment they all kneeled.

The field seemed to have some healing effects, some injured Red Bloods where healed, the elders, the some's ridden with illness, everyone.

"Jonathan are these them" Gaze walked up to him, he kneeled like everyone else. He looked up at her he almost forgot what she asked him to do, he stood up quickly.

"Yes, your majesty."

"Then Please introduce them and provide reason for their valor. I think it's best to encourage them and help encourage others this way." Gaze smiled.

Jonathan smiled. "Yes, Your majesty" he said putting a fist over his heart, making Gaze wonder if that is some sort of custom she doesn't know about. He took deep breath, as he was ready.

"Jamie Guerrero" He yelled and a man with the assumed name stood up. "In light of your valiant effort….." Jonathan went into a simple speech about the man. Whose face was at first red with embarrassment but then filled with honor."

He kneeled before Gaze and touched her outstretched hand. He was met with the familiar shock, that comes with becoming a Red Guard. Their where other Red Guards other then Jonathan, so when it was time for the next one to be named they helped the new Red Guard move because he has yet to recover from the shock, that comes with becoming one.

"Danny Pearce"

"Chris George"

"Jo Berry"

"Silver Scott"

"Lynn Gray"

"Brett Lamb"

Jonathan continued to call out name, giving them speeches, and whatnot. Gaze is ever more amazed out how long Jonathan could keep this. Although she herself is not tired, but, int the end she really isn't normal either. But, she is just one person and the other reds are still kneeling. They seemed to be somewhat exhausted from it.

"Jonathan a moment" Gaze finally said after the last person. "Please allow the others to be causal, they have been kneeling for a while."

"Everyone arise, we still have many people to honor for their brave actions and heroism. DO not stand on ceremony either. Please relax!" He said.

'So passionate' Gaze thought, when he finished talking the other red bloods had glorious smiles on their face as they relax on the ground or in seats. Gaze nodded for him to continue, and with a smile he spoke more names.

By the end over 200 people where named and turned into Red Guards, Gaze sat down alone in the trailer as she heard the voice of people celebrating with cheers and dancing.

'Traveling across, an enemy country with over a thousand people.' Gaze held herself together but couldn't stop herself from crying. Because it still hurts.

It took awhile for her to calm down, the situation can't be taken lightly. They will eventually be caught, like this as more people gather.

Gaze lifted the current night had fallen and during the little ceremony. She sat down once again, she can't keep still, she looked at her hands again. She must do something.

"I'm an avatar of a Goddess who has passed, yet, I still retain her power and gifts blessed to me by her. Gods can create miracles can't they." She whispered and closed her eyes and tried to feel something she tried to stir something. But, at less felt noting making her feel even more depressed.

Standing up quickly she left the travel, the people where happy, in bliss. As they should be, they shouldn't have to worry about the bad things that could happen. When they finally retain hop after lifetimes of oppression.

Without being noticed Gaze went behind her the RV she was in, no matter what she did she felt nothing. Her expression had become worse. She wanted to make a miracle happen no matter what.

"Please" Gaze quietly begged, yet nothing happened. An idea came to mind, the ancient language in her head that she understood yet didn't. She wondered if she could use that, but how does she use it? She wondered. "Ah, the scrolls!" she thought quickly and traveled down memory lane to look for something among those lines. Just a guess, or a theory, or maybe its thinking to much she wanted to try. When she read the words out loud things did happen, like with the stone bench or the stone railing. The Scrolls where in a similar language. With strange lines but perhaps they where something like spells.

"Back in the place where they was born, It's been long years since they've been gone. It took them long years to know wrong. Take Them Home, Back to where they belong, Back to the place they know, where they was born" She said but nothing happened, "…." Gaze was lost in thought, she repeated the phrase, she sighed again. Then looked up towards the moon. It was the only words coupled in a paragraph that sounded like it could do something and take them back.

Gaze thought of For Hamon, "Back in the place where they were born, It's been long years since they've been gone. It took them long years to know wrong. Take Them Home, back to where they belong, back to the place they know, where they was born" she continued to repeat these lines over and over again. This was her only lead Afterall. It must work she must make it work. When she opened her eyes again, she bit her lip to the point she drew blood.

Frustrating clearly visible on her face. She doesn't get just why can't she get it to work. She is capable of it, but can't produce it.
