Choso's third round of Alliance Conquest!

FuK entered the third round of the Alliance Conquest season, After the disheartening defeat against DUM, carrying a weight of doubt and frustration, especially on their best racer, Choso, who was unable to capture any of the buildings that he raced for, despite his best attempts to. Their spirits used to be very high after defeating rivals FDH in the first round but now those spirits had taken a great hit, however, retreat was never an option for them in any round, that's why they tried their best to fight last time, and they will continue to do so in the future. Leviathan, who is the leader of the event for FuK, and holding a very motivational and positive role for the FuK fighters, was determined to remind his team of the resilience that had defined FuK throughout their journey in the past seasons.

“We may have lost in the previous round, but our chances to reach Ultimate Conquest are not over, this was just the start of the season, we need to keep the morale up and focus on winning the next rounds.” Leviathan said, trying to address the lack of motivation. For this round, their opponents were going to be Av2, the family alliance of a great Av0, they’re weak but not to be underestimated. ''Let’s show them the strength that brought us here, Choso, I do not need you to race this round, use it as means to rest for the future. No matter what happened last time, make sure to not let it hold you back, use today as ways to reflect and prepare.” Leviathan continued, sure of his approach for what was coming.

Choso agreed with his leader, even though his mind was filled with self-doubt, which he thought that winning a race would calm it. The sting of losing to Strawberry and the other DUM racer still lingered in his mind, and the thought of failing again haunted him, he needed the reassurance. However, even if he wasn't racing this round, Leviathan’s words of faith lit a small flame of hoping for a better future with races within him.

As the countdown to the match began, FuK realised what exactly they were in for this round. With Av2, being a secondary alliance for Av0, they may not have a great attendance, nor try to fight back very much, even if the alliance backing them up was one of the most prestigious alliances in Westeros.

And this was soon proven true, with FuK's attendance reaching over double the amount of fighters present. This was going to be a walk in the park, everyone thought, the morale increasing now as they saw the victory as theirs. ''Do not think we've won this, not until everything is secured.'' Leviathan screamed, hoping to be a voice of reason, as unexpected outcomes can always happen.

As the countdown to the start of the battle reached zero, the bubble protecting the buildings dropped, and the racers launched their marches towards the initial buildings, being ready for resistance. Choso observed his teammates very carefully, hoping to see if he had room for improvement from watching their actions. The outcome of the races was straight forward, FuK secured the Warrior, the Mother, and the outposts without a worry, decisive races won, pushing FuK more towards the win.

“What’s happening? This seemed as if the enemy was not even trying.” Choso murmured, with disappointment at the opposition, but with having seen how his teammates got to be even faster than they used to. “Don’t let your guard down, there are still more races to go and swaps to do, we need to secure everything to win. Take them all, ports and Casterly are next. Move fast and secure the win for everyone.” said Leviathan hoping to see his fighters ready and motivated for what lay ahead.

When the ports opened, the races had gone just as before, they faced no resistance. FuK captured both ports without any issues, and did the swaps properly, giving Av2 no chance to make a comeback.

Then wait for the Casterly Rock had started, which they claimed with the same ease, Choso couldn't help but feel unsatisfied with the way that the round turned out to be like. The match felt surreal, almost anticlimactic compared to the intense battle they had braced themselves for.

Leviathan couldn’t help but feel a lot of confusion. “Are they holding back?” he wondered, but he was grateful for the victory as it was one much needed for the alliance.

For Choso, the match was bittersweet. Capturing buildings effortlessly didn’t give the sense of accomplishment in his eyes, as races won against great opponents is what makes it best. The echoes of his struggles against DUM still lingered, but he found himself yearning for a challenge that would test him again.

With their spirits slightly lifted, FuK prepared to face the next challenge, knowing that every victory, no matter how easy or hard, was another step toward their ultimate goal.
