Way of Overlord-Chapter 284: Surya II

In the Great Steppe, there was a warrior that fought against the monsters. It is the same for what happens in Yan, Roma, and other places in the world

And so, it is also the same for the people in Yindu. Kings and Queens of Yindu had long been plagued with internal disunity and externa problems in the form of a monster raids.

In the era where Surya live, there is a bird. It sleeps on the Yindurian Mountain, on a flat peak.

It is an era, where the boundaries between divine and mortal is thin. It is called the Sunfire Bird.

A monsters usually seen perched upon the apex of Yindurian Mountain, a fusion of celestial fire and primordial might

In the books that is stored in the libraries of the kings in Yindu, there is extensive detail about this divine monster.

It has a sinuous body, elongated and serpentine, mirrors the undulating contours of the mountain itself.

Scales, iridescent as molten gold, cascade down its spine, each one etched with ancient glyphs.

When the sun kisses these scales, they shimmer like the very essence of dawn, casting ephemeral rainbows upon the rocky crags.

Its wings—vast and membranous—stretch wide, their edges aflame with hues that defy mortal comprehension.

These wings itself are not mere appendages; they are conduits for cosmic energies. When unfurled, they channel the sun’s radiance, allowing the bird to soar through the heavens, leaving trails of stardust in its wake.

And the books and records of this monster noted primarily of the destruction it wrought with its flames of creation.

It also the same flames that licks it form. Some said, it is the primordial fires born during Ages past and when it breaths, the area surrounding it would get hot.

Each flame dances with a different hue: azure, crimson, and opalescent white.

When the bird stirs, these flames ripple across its body, weaving intricate patterns that shift with the phases of the moon.

To gaze upon them is to glimpse eternity—a kaleidoscope of existence and oblivion.

It is said that when it awoke each day, it brought great changes to the Yindurian mountain

When it stretches its wings, the very air quivers and distorted. As its eyes—pools of liquid gold—blink open, the first rays of sunlight pierce the veil of night.

The bird would inhales deeply, drawing in the essence of dawn, and then exhales—a solar exhalation that ignites its entire being.

The Yindurian Mountain would always trembles when the bird becomes a living sun

Its flames ascend, spiralling upward, and the peak is bathed in a resplendent glow.

This is what happens every day. There is no villages on the bottom of the mountain. Those that use to live there is either dead or turns to ashes.

When the bird chooses the Yindurian mountain as its resting place, that area become a forbidden zone for any humans.

The people of the Steppe has a name for this beast. The people of the Steppe, especially the Eresian people has seen this beast before in their sunken land before they stepped foot in the Steppe

They called this bird, Soltharion the Flame Bearer, the Sun Devourer.

But the people of Yindu called this monster Zyrrakthar the Flame Demon Bird.

This bird in particular seem to have united all the monsters of horror in Yindu. They made their lairs near the Yindurian Mountain.

And they eat people all around the area

Surya fought many of the monster under Zyrrakthar orders. And then it reached the point where the battle between the two would commence.

Surya decided to kill the Demon Bird and relying on the bow and arrow that his twelve teachers had given him, he pinned the Flame Bird onto the side of the mountain

When the battle ended, he found out that there is nothing in the mortal world that could kill it. The flames would melted any weapon that tries to stab its heart

And the flames also would heal all wound and injuries

However, the arrow that Surya had used against the bird is not normal arrow.

The bow is divine and so the arrow also become divine. Even though the arrow could not penetrate the heart, it is still useful in that, when Surya pin the bird wings to the walls of the mountain, the fire could not burn these arrow.

Instead, because the bird is pinned on the wall of the mountain, it could only trashed around, trying to release its wing from the arrow t

Each time, this bird trashed its body around, it causes the mountain to shake.

Until one day the trashing was so bad, that the mountain open up and parts of it was melted, the smokes rises to the heaven and fills the entire area.

It is said in those time, the smoke even goes as far toward the Steppe. But a hero in the Steppe borrow a fan from a princess, waves the fan and force the smoke to be blown away far toward the heavens

this is the origin of the connecting pass between the Great Steppe and Yindu.

A part of the mountain become so unstable because of the bird trying to release itself that it collapsed unto itself

The smokes appears clouding the heavens, spread toward the Steppe.

And there is a hero in the Steppe that sees this smoke as ominous presences. For the smoke that is produced from primordial fires is not ordinary smoke.

From it, spawns beast of darkness.

This hero in the Steppe that sees the true nature of this smoke is none other than the descendant of Ashina.

Ashina himself had many journeys.

But his sons and daughters also have their own song, their own stories and some of them are as fanciful and as interesting as their father.

This son of Ashina was helpless when he sees this smoke.

At this time, his father was fighting protracted war with the beast and monsters in the Steppe so, it was up to this son of his to protect the people

Ashina son heard that there is a princess in one of the Great Steppe tribes that has a mystical fan

He seek this woman and managed to borrow it from that princess. The fan is used, and the wind was pushed toward the smoke.

However, at the same time, the wind also picked up all the dust and the large stones that fills the mountain pass.

All of it is blown to the sky and from then on, there is this narrow mountain path that connected the Great Steppe and Yindu.

It is when this mountain pass existed that Surya could no longer just be content pinning the bird on the mountain wall

Surya also knows that he could not leave this bird just like this.

If he did not find a solution and this bird trashes around every day, not before long, the entire mountain range would collapse.

Surya knows he could not kill the bird and so, he seeks another wise man and these wise man told him that the Vranga river has divine properties that could be used if he could meet with Vranga, the deity of the river.

Surya in an epic tale encounter many obstacle and solve many quest meet Vranga. Vranga gave him a small cage for a bird.

Surya then brought this cage to the Yindurian mountain, recall back his arrow.

And when his arrows flew back towards him, Zyrrakthar tries to flies away. It was at this time that Surya open the small cage that was bestowed to him by Vranga

The bird was sucked into the cage, turning into a small canary.

As he had promised, Surya returns back to the Vranga river and buried the cage in the river in a place only he had known.

it is because of that; the river is as pure as it is a thousand years ago.

It is said that the flames of the demon bird causes all poison and all pollution on the river to be purified.

There is an anecdote in the stories of old kings about the purity, holiness and sacredness of the Vrange river

Once, there is a king who poisoned the river hoping the enemy army downstream that drink the water would be poisoned.

The miraculous thing was that no one was poisoned.

The king however suffers fevers before the final battle and because of the fever, he had to retreat.

There is many things that had been done by Surya.

And most of the dynasties and kingdom and republics in Yindu try to connect themselves with the Surya lineage precisely because of how he impacted the entire continent of Yindu.

Those who knows the story of Surya knows that Surya is not only known for his prowess in archery but he is also the founder of the Surya dynasty.

It is said that after he won against the Demon Bird, the people of Yindu on the western area crown him as their king and he married three women. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

These three women each would bore him a child that is the basis for the kings and queens today to claim their lineage to Surya.

Surya then fought against Uryava to the north, the Santi to the south and the Kaulaku to the east.

Fighting these forces and winning against them, Surya then become the first to unify the land of the Yindu under one single rule
