Part 1: Fate
The narrative lens officially shifts directly back to Haruto, Ryuk, and Leo.
They have finally reached the outer perimeter of the grand Fate Kingdom.
They entered deep into the kingdom's territory through the massive entryway.
And they saw a truly magnificent sight unfolding right before their eyes.
The large main city is completely enclosed by a strong stone wall built with many defensive towers and heavy gates.
At the highest geographical point in the very center of the land stands a large stone castle decorated with many turrets and flying banners.
To that majestic castle's left side is a grand cathedral built with a remarkably tall spire and a large round dome.
Below the prominent structures of the castle and cathedral are thousands of tightly packed residential buildings featuring red-tiled roofs, all connected by a web of winding streets.
A wide, powerful river flows rapidly from the distant, snowy mountains.
It cuts straight through the center of the city, and runs directly out to a distant sea port located on the far horizon.
Across that same river to the left side is another walled town situated on a smaller hill.
The front edge of the main defensive wall has bustling harbor areas built with wooden docks and packed with many small ships.
This is especially true on the right side, where there is a key river-sea junction that controls trade.
The surrounding land outside the fortification is entirely made up of rolling, forested hills.
There are tiny, lifelike details scattering the landscape, like busy people and various animals moving around.
The big, old city made of solid stone sits securely inside those high walls with many towers.
The grand castle stands prominently on its hill right in the middle of everything.
The rest of the city is entirely full of small houses featuring bright orange roofs.
The river goes smoothly through the town and runs straight out to a large sea filled with many ships.
There are huge, imposing mountains rising up directly behind the kingdom.
The grand cathedral they observed was none other than the sacred Church of Fate.
It stands proudly as one of the Six Churches established in Tenzu.
Haruto, Ryuk, and Leo entered the inner kingdom with curious eyes.
And they saw flocks of white pigeons flying freely through the open sky.
And countless ordinary people are walking through streets to do their daily errands.
As they walked down the road, Haruto and Leo encountered a local meat shop.
As they both felt quite hungry from their travels, they stopped walking.
They bought 3 pieces of huge meat on the bone from the shopkeeper.
It cost them just 2 Reo and 50 Peny for each single piece.
They quickly sit down and eat their food to satisfy their hunger.
Then, walking a bit further, Ryuk encounter a shop of juice.
In that specialized shop, there are multiple unique juices are selling to the public.
The fruits used to make them were completely different from anything they knew.
To the point that they never hear of them in their entire lives before.
Hilam Juice.
Barno Juice.
Alias Juice.
And various other strange options.
It was the actual name of the exotic fruits themselves.
And they are completely exclusive to the specific environment of The Fate kingdom.
Haruto, Leo, and Ryuk each drink the juice from a cup.
And they thoroughly like it, finding the taste very refreshing.
And each individual Juice cost them exactly 1 Reo.
Then, continuing down the street, they find another modest shop where a poor family was selling fresh flowers.
They doesn't notice the stall at first glance because of the heavy crowd.
But suddenly, out of nowhere, a small girl ran forward and tightly hugged Haruto's leg.
"Please, Mr. buy some flowers from us," the little girl says, looking up with pleading eyes.
Haruto noticed the little girl clinging to him.
And in that exact moment, Haruto remember his beloved little brother Aokiji back home.
Then, the little girl's mother quickly come forward to intervene.
And she gently bring her daughter back to the safety of the stall.
And she politely apologies to them for her daughter's sudden actions.
Ryuk felt deeply sad for them after seeing their obvious poverty.
And he turn and tell Haruto to buy some flowers from their business.
Haruto readily agreed to the request, all though he doesn't need any flowers for himself.
Then, they step up and buy a large bundle of 15 flowers from them by paying 7 Reo and 50 Peny.
Haruto also generously give 10 extra Reo to them as a supportive tip.
Leo gets 5 flowers out of the purchased bundle from Haruto.
And Leo casually puts them in his mouth and eat that flowers right on the spot.
"This flower taste isn't that bad at all," Leo says while chewing the petals.
"Hey, what did just you know? What are you doing?" Ryuk says to Leo, completely stunned.
"Ahh..." Leo grunts, swallowing the plant matter.
"Every flower or plants are food for me."
"I used to grow up eating flowers and plants in the wild."
"And also, I grown up eating wild animals meat to survive."
Leo says, explaining his past.
"What an absolute dummy," Ryuk says, shaking his head.
"Thanks for buying these flowers from us!" the little girl says with a bright, joyful smile.
Then, right after smiling, she suddenly started to cry heavy tears.
Haruto become concerned and asked her mother why her daughter is crying so much.
"We haven't eat a single thing for 3 days straight," her mother replied with deep sorrow.
"After you buying our flowers just now."
"Now we can finally eat some real food after a very long time."
Her mother replied with absolute sorrow in her voice.
Haruto fully understand their intense pain and the harsh reality of life.
And he gradually put his hand on her small head, patting her hair.
And he looks at the child and says.
"I hope you will eat as you want in the future."
A very soft, comforted smile came to her face upon hearing his kind words.
Then, Haruto and the other companions move on down the pathway.
They found everything looking normal and peaceful for a while.
But they suddenly found out a unique place called by a specific name.
"Fate divination."
"Yo..ooo!"
"Haruto, let's go their right now!" Ryuk says, pointing at the building.
"Nah, I don't believe in this fake divinations and street scams," Haruto flatly replied.
"Please, I really want to go inside and just try it once."
"Please," Ryuk says, begging his friend.
"What type of place is that anyway?"
"Can we eat something here?" Leo asks, looking around.
"Yeah, we will gladly eat your empty brain," Ryuk replied with annoyance.
"What did you just said to me?" Leo says, his temper rising instantly.
Then, Leo suddenly punch Ryuk right in his face.
Then, Ryuk got enraged and also punched Leo right back.
Then, they both start fighting there fiercely right in the middle of the public street.
Haruto then steps in to stop them with great physical difficulties.
"Don't interrupt me, Haruto!"
"I am gonna kill this absolute bullshit guy!" Leo says, shouting.
"Stop now, it's more than enough!" Haruto says in a stern voice.
"Please, Haruto, let's just go inside once," Ryuk asks again, holding his bruised face.
"Hmm... okay, fine," Haruto says, finally giving in to the request.
"Yessss!" Ryuk says with absolute joy.
Then, they finally entered the dim Fate divination room together.
Then, an old, mysterious Female Fate Seer appears from behind a curtain.
Haruto, Ryuk, and Leo were sitting quietly in the chairs in front of the desk.
And in front of them, sitting in another matching chair.
The female Fate Seer sits down silently.
Then, she put a deck of ancient cards directly in front of them on the table.
Then, she closed her eyes and started to cast a mystical ritual spell.
Then suddenly, a supernatural phenomenon occurs in the room.
Every single card started to spin there wildly in the air like a localized tornado.
Then, after chanting some more ancient spells and hidden words.
3 distinct cards has been permanently selected from the floating deck.
The 1st card clearly shows sharp Arrows.
The 2nd card vividly shows a massive Explosion.
The 3rd card starkly shows a grim human skull.
Then, the female seer opens her eyes and says.
"It's your future according to this cards."
Haruto, Ryuk, and Leo doesn't understand the true meaning of this ominous cards at all.
Then, they gave a payment of 15 Reo to the female Fate Seer for her time.
Then, they stood up and are about to leave the room.
But as they turn, the female Fate Seer suddenly noticed Haruto's unique pendant.
And she instantly become completely shocked, her face freezing in absolute terror.
All though she is frozen, Haruto and the other companions left the place without noticing her reaction.
"I told you before that it's a complete waste of money," Haruto says, walking down the sidewalk.
"We didn't even understand the true meaning of those weird cards anyway."
"I know, but what we can even do about it now? Let's just move on," Ryuk says, brushing it off.
Then suddenly, a loud clattering of heavy metal armor echoes nearby.
A group of elite Fate Kingdom Knights suddenly appears there, completely blocking their path.
The leading knight looks down at Haruto, Ryuk, and Leo and speaks.
"Come with us immediately. Our princess asked you three to come to the royal palace."
