Chapter 70 Honor

People From district 2 stayed in front of the King's palace not knowing what happened to Rivok and his companions, nor his plans to depart them out of district one .

For days they stayed there waiting outside the front gate, most of them were tired of the travel and the journey they had to be here .

No one talked to them after that conversation with Rivok.

People from district one stayed away from them, especially when they lost their leader in that way.

It has been 3 days to be exact and the shock inside of them was too deep to be forgotten.

One of the mages named Chris cast a spell on Rivok's body to preserve it from being decomposed.

Chris was one of those who were influenced by Rivok's charismatic character, he was one of the first followers and he was touched by his ideas and theories.

He wanted to continue his plan, but people didn't seem to be invested in their cause .

He had to do something to grab their attention, and that is why he planned a huge ceremony to Rivok's funeral.

Before the evacuation they weren't that close, they knew each other since they were infants, however they never cared about each other .

Like everyone else in this place, they were too busy focusing on their powers and ways to level up to Emperium.

But when the realization hit them hard after the evacuation of every higher mage in this place, they knew that there was no chance of leveling up.

It was Rivok who suggested first that they should express themselves and dominate this place.

And it was Chris's idea that they should use this catastrophic event in their favor.

He invented the rumors and Rivok threw them to the masses until they reached everyone in district one .

"Hope doesn't harm anyone'' Chris said when he came up with this story .

"But if they knew !" Rivok had his fears about this plan.

" If they knew, it would be the end of everything and everyone in this place" Chris said with a smile on his face .

Rivok was the face of their newborn plan, and Chris was the mastermind behind it .

That day he looked at Rivok with a straight face, the bond that was created between them in this fast period was very strong .

When two people are bonded with a crime or something bad in general, they became more than related to blood. A relationship created by sin is always a relationship that would last beyond existence, that's how Chris thought.

To him what was created in these past weeks, was stronger than any relationship in his life.

Chris gathered the people of his district outside Rivok's house, the house that once was neglected became now a place that connected them with their leader.

Chris used his house intentionally for more sentimental bonding with the masses.

Women started to cry the moment they saw his corpse floating in the air in the same position from that night .

The only difference was his clothes, Chris cast a spell to change them to more proper ones.

Chris wore his finest clothes to honor Rivok's soul.

There were so many crowds in front of his house, that most of the people in the back couldn't even take a look at Chris, but they all saw Rivok .

A few women raised their hands in the air trying to metaphorically grab him, while yelling and screaming.

He was someone who gave them hope when they lost everything, of course they would get attached to him so easily.

And his companions didn't miss the chance to oversize everything he has done or said, they polished his ideas for the past three days in every gathering, and they spread his thoughts in every house in this place.

Chris didn't want the idea that they both worked on it to disappear with him, he wanted to use him to the fullest.

"We all gathered here to say our goodbyes to the person who enlightened our paths when darkness was all around us, when we were all lost and without guidance, when we were called weak, left out….Rivok was the man who fought our darkest fears".

People were nodding to what he was saying, women increased their intensity of crying, and men kept on yelling loudly with his name .

"He dared to fight the worse of this region all by himself, he would have killed him if he wasn't taken by surprise.

That Duncan boy killed him in front of our eyes, he killed him when all he asked for was a chance for all of us to survive this place, Rivok was not even thinking about himself, he could have sent other mages to kill Isiah Duncan but he didn't.

Rivok was indeed a brave man, and his sacrifice won't go in vain,we should honor him by keeping his wishes and plans alive .

Are you hearing me people, we should never let anyone step in between us and our dreams

Well, at least that's what i learned from his sacrifice."

Chris was not a charismatic man like Rivok and his speech didn't have the same impact as Rivok's, but with the corps floating in front of them, they were very touched and most of them were in a state of anger and despair of what happened to the man who showed them lightly at the end of the road.

"We got one threat out of the equation, we terminated Isiah Duncan, and all that's left is to stay strong in front of the other districts.

This is our chance, if they ruined their chances then we shouldn't.

Let's not discuss further detail because this day is not about them , or Isiah Duncan, not even about us …it is about Rivok.

Let's remember him as the greatest man in district one, the most selfless man i ever met, the nicest, the kindest, the greatest.

People of district one, let's honor the man who was supposed to be our leader…..by doing what he wanted "
