BaN and UTB in KvK

Amid K157 stood Ashun, awaiting eagerly for another Kingdom versus Kingdom event to unfold. Before this month, he was a part of K130 where SKR, his previous alliance, lived. In K130, the fights were scarce in the event, as only he and a few other members of the Kingdoms would partake in any dueling, pushing Ashun, who aspired for fights, the only choice to move to another Kingdom. The Kingdom he moved to, K157, was where many powerful BaN fighters lived.

This would give him many chances to partake in fights, but the stakes and difficulty also rose quite a lot with the move. The level of fighting that Ashun was capable of doing and the one that K157 could do, was on a completely other level. But Ashun was not scared of that, this is why he chose to move there after all, he wanted to become better and stronger than ever before. The higher level was nothing but a guarantee that someday he will reach it, only obstacle in his way is himself. Without the ability to grow his combat prowess fast, it would take him years to reach their level, but if he has it, only mere months would be enough, but it was not something he could tell for himself just yet.

His anticipation was really high, but so was the stress from fighting alongside Meridianos. His strength was intimidating even to allies, this gave Ashun a thrill for his new adventure. In his eagerness to fight, he started preparing his gear, and as soon as he finished, the opponents for this month's KvK were revealed. Ashun and BaN were against UTB, an old friend.

Them having to fight against UTB was a big issue not only since they've known each other for so long and were friends, but also in Ashun's eyes for his development, he knew they would not go all-out. The usual plan for fights was to just completely annihilate the opponents through sheer strength, but like this, it was not possible, thus an emergency meeting was put forth.

At the meeting, it was discussed what should be achieved through this KvK, and what their possibilities were. But before the meeting could start, a report from the Old Gods had reached the BaN leadership: everyone from their alliance was unable to go to the enemy Kingdom. This would make winning the event as a whole impossible for Ashun and K157, as UTB will have a great advantage should they choose to fight each other.

The news changed the purpose of the meeting, now with a loss in their minds, the K157 members proceeded to discuss: ''We are going to lose this KvK, and there isn't much to do about it, let's focus on establishing some training with UTB, how does that sound?'' was the first suggestion. This suggestion was something that most of the lower-ranked fighters liked to hear, it would prove a great opportunity to grow their strength and test their limits. Ashun agreed on it, he wanted to see where his level was at, and as soon as he agreed, so did the others, making this the to-go-to plan.

Now a raven was sent to the UTB leadership in order to start discussions, but this would take time, thus everyone had went back to rest.

In the morning, more news rose from the leadership after the discussions followed: ''UTB agreed, once the issue put forth by the Old Gods is settled, we will have attacks on the enemy King's Landing with pre-established leaders, but sadly, Ashun, you're not going to be one of them, UTB is lacking a cavalry fighter that matches your strength.''

This was a bit underwhelming for Ashun, but he accepted to watch the fights unfold in front of him, as he was unable to partake in the battles to come. Soon after, the issue was fixed, and the fighting had started.

The first fights were going to be infantry versus infantry, both led by incredibly strong rally leaders, Loliedd of BaN and scooberman of UTB. Both having reached a very high level of fighting, they dueled until the bitter end inside the walls of King's Landing, leading their troops valiantly, only one could come out victorious, and as fate would put it, it was Loliedd that had won.

This was no surprise for Ashun, who knew of Loliedd's strength and perseverance, he knew that the mentality could be the deciding factor in that fight in particular.

Next and last up were spearmen, they were going to have two fights, first with strong rally leaders, then with a weaker spear fighter. Ashun stood on the side watching both of the battles unfold, he was watching as BaN fighters emerged victorious fight after fight, making Ashun want to desperately participate, but yet, he was not able to do that, and would ultimately have to give up on that thought by the very end, since he knew he would not be able to.

This marked the end of the KvK for Ashun and BaN, they had not managed to win the event, but have trained their fighters thoroughly for the events to come, something that they considered more valuable in the long run. Only downside was that the fighters prolific with cavalry were unable to participate, but they hoped it would also make them more eager to catch up to their comrades, and that certainly seemed to be the case for Ashun, who vowed to do just that in the next event.
