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
“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 king is still alive!” The atmosphere in the room shifted immediately.“Stop your lies!”“Honestly how many times do I have to tell you I have nothing to gain from lying to you. Think about it. You have been staying inside these walls for five good years after the invasion. The only reason you haven't been attacked by Tyndale is the same reason why you haven't attacked him…. The Vurhans. Dakario placed a strong boundary made of Vurhans between the two of you. Keeping both of you at bay so that they can have more time to find the king and finish him off the end the covenant cycle for good, because if you and Tyndale went to battle and you died it would ruin everything. That is why they were cautious not to leave anything behind that could help you get stronger and break through the boundar
"Get a grip on yourself! Cowards have no place here."He spoke to her in hushed tones. She was completely oblivious to the fact that she had grabbed his cloak and hid behind him. Alicia had never seen a vurhan before; the tales she'd read had given her the creeps, but seeing it in person was a whole new level of terrifying.The man untied the strap around his neck that held the cloak to his back, allowing it to fall on Alicia's arms and expose his built frame and wide shoulders. As he zipped around the ground, carving his way towards the vurhan, his hair moved from one side to the other, dancing with grace.Alicia felt her hand being yanked by Lisa's small hands once more."Come on over here," said the little girl.She pulled her back to the tents and began reciting an invocation while closing her eyes. The air above them got thicker all of a sudden, making Alicia feel hazy. Trees seemed to curve out of nature as distortions rippled through the air, blurring the vision. It was as thou
As they were leaving the diner, one courageous waiter ran up to them, carrying a pen and a sheet of paper."Excuse me, sir!" said the waiter "but the bill..."The filthy-booted knight turned his head to look the waiter in the eyes. When the waiter got a glance of the pig wrestler's awkwardly constructed face gazing dead into his irises, he staggered aside.The knight repeated his trademark maneuver, catching the weak waiter's collar as he went about his business. Drops of spit followed each word he spewed, flying out of his mouth and pouring down on the poor waiter's forehead."You may be a newcomer, so pay attention, chicken face. We are the Independent States Knights. Our job is to protect your wretched lives, and the very least you can do for us is feed us. So let me be clear about something... If you show me that dumb pen and paper the next time I come here, I'll shove them so far into your face that your..."Alicia's line of sight was abruptly blocked by the green tea guy. He was
“... Farewell my king, and understand. His death was for a greater cause, and there cannot be peace without war, just as there cannot be love without hate.” a bright flash of light swallowed him and he vanished. Drom felt a cold surge charge him up. His veins filled up with vengeful blood, cracking his skin in dark networks germinating all over his body. For the sake of his kingdom, he had to ravel the feral side he tucked away inside him. The animal concocted from the dark aura he battled with every day caused by the Shai flowing through his body. For years he held back his fury, but now someone gave him a reason to release it. He had to bring out the worst in him.ON THE HILLS OUTSIDE THE WALLS OF NORTH ANGUSStanding at the peak of one of the hills poking out of the surface they eyed the dying lights of the city. Slowly the flickering lights died down, it was midnight, the villagers were shutting their windows, traders were blowing out their candles, the night sky informed them it
