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 you to bring the Book and the dagger to me..." There was brief moment of silence before any of them spoke. Drom swallowed bitterly the looked Daito dead into his pupils, “Okay fine, but don't do this with any regrets,” Daito run the blade through his palm, handing over the dagger to Drom who did the same, they both put their hands over the thirteenth page, as their blood blended and br
She tried hard not to cry, but she couldn’t hold it in any longer. She cried herself to exhaustion. She shed the act she was putting on of being a strong fierce leader and allowed herself to feel vulnerable for once, to be a young adult girl in a cruel world. The rest of her fellow state guards in her living room could hear her crying, but they all put themselves in her shoes and knew deep in their hearts what she was going through. They would have done the same, take a break and let it all out. Surprisingly Tulip was amongst them, but she was heavily chained down she couldn’t even make a step forward. The whole house was soundless, only infrequent sounds of Alicia’s sobs broke the silence. After an agonizing thirty minutes her cries finally died down and she walked out of her room with swollen eyes. “So, what is it you wanted to tell us! Exchange of information and we will grant you freedom… that was the deal.” Alicia said, trying hard to compose herself. Tulip tried hard to strai
END OF THE SUCCESOR WAR ARC"We do not kill females, that is our code as ordered by our mistress Lady Melo." "Fine! Give me the crossbow," he grabbed one of the ladies' crossbows and shot an arrow that ripped through Alicia's stomach. As they dissipated, in all the pain and anguish Alicia threw one last look at Daito, and she was met with black cold-blooded eyes that stared back at her with no remorse as she cried her pain out loud. She was left for dead, bleeding ourLady Melo chased after Lisa "Hey! Little girl, hold on!" Soon after she caught up with her she saw her bent on one of the cells, trying to shake someone to wake. "Grandpa... grandpa wake up, we have to go! Grandpa," She tried to wake him, rocking him back and forth. She sniffled quietly, tears threatening to spill, building up under his eyelids. A heavy sob escaped her and she covered her face with her tiny trembling hands. Lady Melo was heartbroken, she started regretting why she signed up for this anyways. It was
“It doesn’t matter now. What matters is that you should go there and evacuate the rest of the captives. You people are the army, you were supposed to lay down your lives to support the citizens you serve and yet when danger came knocking on our doors you fled to this State and left the rest of the helpless citizens to be held, prisoners! This is the least you can do to repay the citizens you abandoned.” “Trust me, old man, we have tried to go back and save the people we left behind, but there is no way we could get past the Vurhans surrounding us.” “Well, that is why I am here. I have been shown a way to get to the Defectors State. All you have to do is follow my lead.” “How sure can we be that the information you are giving us is true. How can we be sure that you were not sent here by the tyrant himself to lead us into our deaths?!” As the blue rings circulated his forearm Alvatrone intervened and pulled it back down. “No, not this time. I want this to be more entertaining. Kil
Albert said standing at the doorstep. Lora looked back at him she couldn't help but reply with a smirk painted on her face " Is everything okay, my lady? " "I was just thinking about how five years ago, when I used to be tied to your leash.... Now look at you, licking my boots." She giggled, giving him a cold look. "Tell him I'll be there." She said. As soon as Albert started walking off, she turned back to him. "Oh and Albert, you said you wanted to be the commander to the Independent States right?" "... Ye... Yes my lady." "Well, I have a mission for you. And if you are successful, I might consider giving you the title." Albert's eyes lit up,"Yes my lady, I am prepared to serve you in any way." "... Can you still survive without your left arm?" "What...." ༺Sals Village ༻ The festival was at its peak. As the sun was setting, more villagers gathered at the town centre. It seemed like all afternoon was just about preparations and the main event was set to begin. Reene rel
As the shield rolled on the mud with the teeth sticking out of it, Jericho shrieked in pain. Daito finally came to, getting to his feet just in time before the blast shot the Vurhan's entire face off. He charged forward with a blast of his own. Tyndale reverted his attention towards him which left him exposed to the mercy of the beast. Another swipe of the claws ripped up a shred of his skin, allowing blood to run over his chest. His muscular arms pushed Daito back onto the ground once more. He kicked the vurhan and took out its left knee with a blast of energy, rendering it immobile, momentarily. As the vurhan stumbled to the ground he grabbed its arm and pulled it back up, directing its head towards his punch. The two targets collided, leaving a bloody green stain on the Vurhan's face as it slid across the mud. Tyndale felt a severe force push his right shoulder, blue blinding light whisked past his ear, after a while, a sharp pain accompanied the disturbance. He looked to his rig
Hey, Gramps! Look, I met a state guard today, shes just like Lora!" Lisa yanked Slejj's hand as she pulled him closer to Alicia, and he continued to giggle. Lisa let out a cute high-pitched laugh. Slejj felt a rush of icy wind slap his neck as he raised his head. He fixed his vision for a clearer view, and when he glanced down, he saw the sword's silver blade inches from his trachea, begging to be impaled. Alicia had eventually broken out from her trance and drawn her sword. "Don't take another step closer, or else..." "Or else what!" said the man next to her, sternly. Alicia wished she could punch the man in the teeth. She saw a blue wave of light flashing from the guy's general direction out of the corner of her eye. She cocked her head slightly to see what the guy could have up his sleeve that might tempt him to intimidate a state guard. The blooming chromatic light came into focus as she curved her head It was continuously blinking, emitting bluish embers, like a firefly. It
Come on, Dai, it isn't that far!" "You're only saying that because you've already reached the top." Dai struggled to reach the top of the tree. As he clung to the hard bark, it continued to grit his delicate hands as he fought to ascend it. He gradually made it to the brink, where they perched on a branch protruding from the trunk above the hedge that divided the garden from the castle courtyard. He joined in, settling his mass on a suitable spot on the massive branch. They savored the quiet while soaking in the scenery. As their gaze was drawn to the castle, the back door flew open, and someone emerged from inside. He lingered by the door for a moment, as if expecting someone. Drom could tell who he was even from afar; he was the physician who was always around the castle, looking after his father. He eventually made his way down the stairwell that leads to a garden behind the castle. Daito recognized his lean face as he approached the gates. Within his brain, a fierce argument
