The crowd fell silent. They had no knowledge of the man’s origin, nor of his identity so they were in no position to speak.“Do not trust this man! He was with the others during the attack. I saw him, we all saw him!” Thomas said, referring to his two other colleagues beside him. “Look do you want my help or not? Because I am a man with little patience. I have other things to attend to…”“I say we listen to the man!” one of the men from amongst the crowd shouted. “Are you out of your mind? Did you not just here what I said he is with them!”“I say we vote, whoever wants to hear what the man has to say raise your hand.” the man in the crowd said. Numerous hands were hoisted, and it was clear most of the people wanted to hear what the man had planned for them.Thomas looked at the crowd, reviled by the hands in the air. “This man is dangerous can’t you see that?!”“In this uprising democracy rules! In here we are all slaves with no leader so we go by the majority Milner, you waving yo
Some soldiers had the faces looking at the wooden floor. Some walked out of the shack once they realized she was conscious again. She wondered what the reason could be. The semblance of emotional control the soldiers were charading quickly decayed, their faces turned pale and they were reviled at the sight of her.“What is happening?” she asked her fellow State Guards around her. Salron swallowed bitterly and looked away, as if he was ashamed to ask the question he intended to ask.“The soldiers… they want to know the whereabouts of the cavalry that accompanied you to…”One soldier emerged from amongst the crowd and pushed his way through towards Alicia. He stopped behind the State Guards and spoke with a discontinuous voice.“My brother, he was a lancer! He accompanied you when you headed out for the search and he has not come back with you! Tell us what happened to him, what happened to the others!” he asked, the rest of the soldiers’ eyes looked at Alicia, desperately waiting for h
Alicia felt like slapping some sense into that overpowered simpleton, even with god magic he was no match for mother nature. She picked up an empty cup beside the tents and took some dried tea leaves, throwing them into the cup and working her magic. She did everything as loud as she possibly could to grasp his attention, but not loud enough to wake the others snoring their fatigue away inside the tents. Though she tried as much as she could to clank those cups together Daito didn't shiver one bit. Moments after the brewing tea whistled through the hot kettle Alicia picked up two cups and filled them with the overheated liquid she walked over to him and handed one of the cups over.“Just take the damn thing you foot face, it's not poisoned,” Alicia said, trying to balance the fervid crockery between her burning appendages. Daito reached out slowly like he wanted it to burn her fingers a little bit longer. He swayed it severally before taking an elegant sip. Alicia nearly showed her sm
FLASHBACK"WHAT DO WE DO!" Harmel shouted, clearly in desperation."Call the delegates, tell them to assemble at the banquet hall!, I'll head over to the outpost and inform the soldiers and Commander Alvatrone. Daito, can you help?"IN THE DUNGEONSlejj held onto his chest. It was burning up like crazy. He coughed up ashes. The veins terracing his head swelled up, bulging and redirecting the dripping sweat cascading down his forehead. The agony brought him down to his knees, with a hazy vision he saw an image approaching his cell. With all he had left in him, he whispered his plea, "Please guard! Help me!!!""... Oh I think you are far from help brother. Now, you are going to be what you should've been seven years ago...DEAD!"Slejj swallowed piercingly. His body shivered morbidly hearing those words. "What... What do you mean!""That deity. Inside you? Why do you think it has a taste for Vurhans?" the figure asked?Slejj elevated himself using the bars of the cell door as leverag
Ladzgery’s magic was ineffective, Lora thought it would give them a fair chance of defeating him. Little did she know of the beast they were about to face.Moments later Jrue walked in, carrying his two trusty blades with him. Although Tyndale was aware of their presence, he did not flinch. He took one last long breathe and exhaled lightly. He then rose to his feet, anchoring the weight of his galactic body by resting his palms on his knees and pushing himself upwards. He rolled his shoulders, relieving them of exhaustion.“Finally! I was waiting for your arrival,”The two siblings looked at each other briefly, reassuring themselves.Ladzgery turned to face them. His face expressionless, “Any last words?”. He asked, slipping off his sleeve from his right hand and placing it over the candelabra beside him. He turned his back to the siblings once more, reverting his attention towards the candelabra.“I knew this day would come. I felt the unrest brewing for some time now. It was just a
This is my chance to get rid of all this crap and move on with my life. I'll be a normal human being, and you can have your precious kingdom to rule for your entire life without having to die by my hands. It's a win for us all!”Drom looked back at those fiery eyes, finally, a chance to challenge fate and emerge victoriously."You understand that if you do this you will loose your power!""I never wanted it. Don't you hear me I don't want this power, it's a curse I don't even know why you're calling it a power.""Listen brother, a conflict is approaching our land as we speak. Fight by my side this once. Only this once and after that you can relinquish your Title in a more respectful way!"Daito stared back at Drom, "Then do this with me first, and I will fight with you to the very end!""Without your power?""I won't loose my power right away! It'll take a while for my power to escape me, and before it does I will help you fight,""Who told you that...""The same people that told yo
With the last word slipping through the cracks of his teeth along came a ghostly radiation. Drom was overcome by a sudden burst of vigor, his broken ribs searched for their severed parts and wound themselves together. His scissored knee reshaped and reverted, allowing him to bend his leg again. Within moments he was back to his old self again, perhaps better.“Now, the link has chosen you to be one of the people who should witness the truth, just as he chose us.”“Truth?!” Drom said, still confused as to what had happened. Moments ago he was in unbelievable pain and a moment after he felt like he could sprint up a hill without breaking a sweat.“The great link has many things he wants to show you! But first, you must do as I instruct. Go to the dark bender, tell him you were sent by the commander. He will know what to do next.”He stepped aside and cleared a way for the king to pass. Drom began his stride with the once broken left leg to make sure it was really healed. Putting all his
Alicia reluctantly nodded to Robert Townsdy, he stepped out and a few moments later he came back pushing Martha on a wheelchair. Once they entered the rest of the soldiers outside surrounded the house.“I will tell you what I know. About the plans of the Heads. The fact is, their plan is not over yet. The invasion was just the beginning of it.”“What are they planning to do?”“They seek to remove obstacles along their way. Obstacles are people who are strong enough to foil their plans. Either you join them, or they eliminate you. That is what they did to the two strongest people from this kingdom. The dark bender joined them, the king refused, and he was to be killed. They wanted to break the covenant in order to continue their next phase… but you seemed to have slowed them down.”“How?!”“They would have continued with the second phase of their plan straight after the invasion, but they did not account for you to renew the covenant. The covenant cycle still stands Alicia, meaning the
