| 38 | - A Larger World

It's been five days since you ran into the Saviors.

Rebecca was heartbroken. Her husband was dead. She was expecting to have the baby soon, and now it'll be without a father.

Christa was also devastated. She couldn't believe that Omid was murdered.

Only people close to you knew about the Saviors. Only Clementine, Lee, Wyatt, and Russell knew he was related to you.

Some of your advisors disagreed at first with your decision to supply the Saviors when they needed, but after learning of the deaths of Omid and Alvin, and their threat to destroy the Oasis, they reluctantly agreed.

In a couple days the Saviors would be arriving to pick up their share of supplies, so you had people sort out crates at the commissary.

You were in your office at the conference center, looking out the window. You had a hand on your face as you were thinking of the circumstances.

You saw two of your friends die at the hands of your uncle, Negan. He threatened to kill Clementine and the rest of the people you care about.

You've never hated a man this much since the Governor. Carver didn't even match up to him.

A knock was heard, and Clementine came in.

Clementine: Hey.

You: Hey.

She walks up and lays her head against your shoulder, as you both look out the window. You have your arms crossed.

You: Did I do the right thing?

Clementine: You did what you had to do, Y/N. I probably would've done the same thing.

You look at her, and begin to tear up.

You: I didn't want anybody else to get hurt. I didn't want you to get hurt. I already blame myself for what happened to Alvin and Omid....

Clementine looks up at you.

Clementine: That wasn't your fault.

You: I agreed with the plan. The plan on attacking that Savior camp.

Clementine: A plan that Alvin brought up.

You nod, but a part of you still believed things could've gone different.

You: This is how we live now....it's not what I wanted....but to keep us all safe, that's how it has to be.

You kiss Clementine.

You: As long as you're with me, I'll be okay.

The two of you give weak smiles, until another knock is at your door. Wyatt peeks in.

Wyatt: Y/N, we have somebody at the gates.

You: The Saviors?

Wyatt: No....somebody else.

••

You had told the guards at the gates to let the man in so you can meet him by the Jones Building. You had called over Louis to join you and Clementine in meeting this man.

When you arrived at where the man was, you saw Lee and other soldiers with him. He wore a beanie, with a blue vest and a long trench coat. He also had a beard and long hair coming out of his beanie.

You: Hello. Who are you?

The man looked at you.

Jesus: My name is Paul Rovia. But you can call me Jesus.

Louis: Jesus?

Jesus: Yeah, Jesus.

Clementine chuckled.

Clementine: Jesus.

Jesus: Yeah....Jesus.

You: Okay, Jesus. How'd you find this place, and what are you doing here?

Jesus: I'm able to find lots of places, and I have before. I'm also here for help, on an issue my community is dealing with.

Lee's eyes shoot at you at the mention of another community. Lee really wanted to gather up as many people as he could to fight the Saviors.

You: Community?

Jesus: Yes. Can we talk in private?

••

You were back in your office. This time it was just you and Jesus. He stood and looked around the room as you sat down.

Jesus saw your rifle, which was originally Dale's rifle, propped up beside your desk.

Jesus: Remington model, nice.

You ignored his remark.

You: You said you have a community?

Jesus: Yes. It called the Hilltop, about fifteen miles north of here.

You nod.

You: And this problem? Can you be specific?

Jesus put his hands on his waist.

Jesus: There's this group who's been hassling us. They killed one of us and have been sucking us dry of resources. They call themselves the Saviors.

Your eyes widen at the mention of that name. Jesus takes notice.

Jesus: They sounds familiar?

You: Yes....we ran into them a few days ago.

Jesus: Really?

Jesus rubs his chin.

Jesus: They're taking from you too now, huh?

You give a simple nod.

Jesus: We can take them together, Y/N. Hilltop and the Oasis.

You shake your head.

You: I can't. We don't have enough soldiers to fight a full fledge war, and I can't sacrifice the people I care about. If we lose, then it's over for all of us.

Jesus nods, and begins to think.

Jesus: How about if we can get more people to fight alongside us? I know of another group.

You: Who?

Jesus takes a look outside your window, then turns back to you.

Jesus: The Kingdom.

••

You wanted to go see the Kingdom for yourself. It was the place you, Lee, Louis, and Clementine were headed before Carver caught you.

You were in a van with Jesus. Your group consisted of the same people you went with a few days ago to attack the savior camp, except Omid and Alvin. Louis went this time instead of Russell.

It took about an hour to get there, it was only 11 miles northwest of the Oasis.

The Kingdom's guards, who wore body armor, let Wyatt drive the van inside once they saw Jesus in the vehicle.

Upon entering, you notice their courtyard has a garden with people tending to it. You also see people at tables working on their tasks, like blacksmiths and woodcarvers. Regular citizens are also walking around.

All of you exit the vehicle, and meet one guard, Richard.

Richard: Jesus, glad to see you.

Jesus: Hello, Richard.

Richard: Are these trade partners? Or for that thing we've discussed?

Richard raises his brow at the last question.

Jesus: You know me so well. We might have help against the Saviors.

Richard nods.

Richard: That's good. Follow me, King Ezekiel is at the theater.

Clementine: King?

Richard: Yup.

Louis. First there's a Jesus, now there's a King? You gotta be joking.

Lee: It is called the Kingdom, Louis.

Clementine: I mean, Y/N calls himself the Chancellor.

You: Which was Lee's idea.

Lee: Hey, you liked it.

You then look at Richard.

You: Lead the way.
