"Yes indeed," Moritz spoke to the crow before turning his head to face Berthold, "This guy -- Tschan Berthold von Lenggong -- Berthold in short -- knows better about the recent events than I do though. I stayed here fighting with the Obsidians for over many yearhundreds. While this guy just came from this world of Terra not long ago, and he's a young Mystic himself living for over 200 years his whole life there."
"But I have my tale about how we Freivitals, once a huge part of the then Revital Front, ended up here fighting the Obsidians for many yearhundreds."
"Yeah," Deroc recalled with a big grin, "I still eftmind the good old times we had, flipping cars to the skies and then send them crashing onto our foes."
"We began as four groups of folk in Malaysia united to fight for revival there. Yes, it was back when we used to fight alongside the Obsidians. Namely, the Freikorps, the Ghee Hin Kongsi, the Kuomintang, and the Obsidian Kongsi." Moritz explained, "We managed to revive the Malayan Peninsula and declared ourselves a Duchy."
"That time when I used to tutor and nurture Kee Wah..." the Cakemaster added, then sighed "it's very saddening to see him succumbing before the Dragonbitch. He ended up betraying us all, all because of his blind love to the Dragonbitch."
"Well, Kee Wah also used to be a relative to a good homie of ours." the Cakemaster further said, "Kee Wah is the younger brother to Kee Keong -- a great homie of ours who was really passionate and dedicated."
"Yeah, it's really sad if you think of it." Moritz shedded some tears as he replied.
"However, yeah," Moritz continued, "not long after a few years of peace, the Obsidians began to make all sorts of problems for us. Eventually, these Obsidian troublemakers took it too far and we could take it no longer. Thus, we went to war against each other -- a war, that in many ways, still go on today here."
“Well, as we fight the Obsidians back, the fascists and the commies barged in halfway and joined the fray.” Deroc continued, "Thus began the Third Malaysian War. We were greatly aided by our generous allies, the German Empire and the Kuomintang China. After many years of hardships, we were near to victory. All commies have been either enlightened or eradicated, while the fascists were pushed back to Borneo. Only one final obstacle stood in our way. The Obsidian remnants in the wild forests of Perak."
"We then encircled the remaining Obsidian pockets near Taiping. A heartbreaking drama broke out between the two brothers -- our Lam Kee Keong and their Lam Kee Wah, leading up to a great battle. A great battle lasting for many tiring hours. Lam Kee Keong and I myself personally led our forces as we clash with the Obsidians."
"In the middle of the fight," Moritz sobbed, "Our great hero Kee Keong has fallen." Then Moritz angrily yelled, "But the Dragonbitch and her cronies fled away to this dark world! And grew themselves a big empire while we Revitals continue to suffer! And Kee Wah is such a traitor!"
Deroc got up and tried to get Moritz down, "Hey, calm down, Moritz!"
"Ugh..." Moritz sighed, "Y-yes... Chieftain."
"Good."
"Many folk from all sides, especially the civilians, laid dead after years of violent fighting. With the death of Kee Keong, his wife -- Chiu Nan-wu -- succeeded him as the next Duke. And she put me in charge to manage her Duchy, as she was busy ruling Cantonia."
"Our story did not end here." a calmed down Moritz continued, "While we were busy cleaning up the mess, the Holy Huaxian Empire, plunged deeply into hysteria, had risen as a huge superpower, led by a corrupt sect of the Kuomintang. The so-called Holy Kuomintang. Many crazy crusades were launched all across Asia, the lands of Cantonia and Malaysia being two of their most craved preys."
"At the same time, the Nazis in Europe and the Soviets in Russia were on the rise. Things were not too good in the Americas, as corrupt banksters and politicians emerged in power too." Deroc clarified, "And of course, the Holy Kuomintang launched their second crusade against us Revitals, charging their way towards Cantonia and Malaysia."
"Due to the emerging threats, we Revitals across Terra banded together under the banner of Revitaebund." Deroc continued, "The top societies consisted of the German Revival Society, the Sisterhood of Wadjet, the Free Kuomintang, the MURS and the Ghee Hin Kongsi. And these top societies were represented by Moritz, Apitus, Tsih-kuo, Nan-wu and I myself, respectively."
"But one day, this Chiu Nan-wu cowardly surrendered herself and Cantonia to the Holy Kuomintang. The rest of us, along with many Chinese rebels, were deeply shocked and enraged. This very moment began our crazy adventures running back and forth between the Terran continents. I was made the Chieftain, a Chieftain who led a massive horde of many ragtag bunches of misfits. A horde of German warriors, Egyptian cultists, Chinese triads, Malay partisans and Black fighters brought together under my guidance. Later on, we would even get Italian mafias, living cakes and even DRAGONS within our ranks! As the chieftain of such an awesome horde, I led the Revitals all the way from defending Malaya down to the very final showdown in Africa. Woo, that was really cool and awesome indeed. Not even ruling my cake empire could be that awesome."
"And I did something really great on a special day, that forever changed the world in many ways. The twenty-first day of December, in the year 101 of Anno Revitae, or 2012 of Anno Domini. This was the final showdown between us Revitals and the rest of the world. All the Nazis, Soviets, Holy Huaxians and Allies set aside their differences and banded together against us. Vastly outnumbered and overwhelmed, I had to resort to a great spell. A great spell that broke open hundreds of thousands of rifts in the skies. But the massive energies were too much for Terra to handle, so the great continents shattered as the earth trembled and the water danced crazily."
"Amongst the chaos, I was sent to this world of Vestroya along with some of my followers. And then you probably know roughly what happened afterwards, I climbed my way up as the Second Cakemaster and fought many wars there. I believe we can talk more about my new life there on another day. I've talked too much about my story, hehe."
"Ahh, yes, while Tsih-kuo and I were sent to this dark world of Alastorn along with many followers too." Moritz added, "We immediately met her growing Obsidian Empire afterward, but we managed to stand our grounds and settled in the northern snowlands. We would later then be known as the Freivitals, the free heirs and essences to our Revital legacy back on Terra."
