Fire rages across the estate. Rolfe and William are in a bind and need to think of a way out to save Lenato from these assassins. William dodges the attacks from the green assailant while using his Sense half of its capacity. If he uses his Sense to its max, his eyes will turn red.

He can defeat the enemy that way, but William doesn't want Rolfe to panic. He is sure that once Rolfe sees his red eyes, he will be delivered to the Inquisitor and brand as a living demon.

As William was fighting the green assassin, he felt the floor below them soften up and began to lose. William steps onto the floor, and the wooden plank flips, hitting the green assassin on the head and rendering him unconscious.

Seeing that William bested his foe, the red assassin retreated. Rolfe drops his weapons and rushes to his father's side. Rolfe put his drunk father on his shoulder and began to drag them away from the fire.

As for William, he too was about to assist Rolfe, but the green assailant stood up. S

  • A Squire's Journey   Chapter 40 - Grudges

For the past hundreds of years, the remaining Zonian hid and grew in power. Infecting every small part of the Kingdom's executive branches. Now the last families of Zonian blood have a firm place in the Kingdom. The best time to attack is now! But there is one problem. Each of the high-ranking Pentalium members has their own vision, agenda, and ways to conquer the Kingdom. Different ideologies clashed, resulting in numerous meetings that yielded little to no progress.Lenato, the current Leader of Pentalium at this point, did his best to maintain the coordination among them, but it was all for naught. The Chief is too direct and aggressive in his approach. Margaret and Abigail work well in the shadows and will not risk open battle unless they have the upper hand. The Inquisitor, despite his age, wishes to play the long game and pressure the Kingdom throu

  • A Squire's Journey   Chapter 39 - The Inquisitor

    Silver and golden lights shone on the battlefield when the Knights of the Kingdom descended from the hills. The sun's reflection on their armor dispelled the darkness, letting the warm light envelop the living."Surrender!" Rolfe, leading the knights, ordered the Inquisition to halt their assault. The battlefield stopped. Powerful horses are rearing to go at the command of their riders. If the Inquisition fails to adhere to them, they risk annihilation.The Inquisition rattled at their arrival and their allegiance to Tarwood. "HOW?! The Leader was supposed to stop this from happening," he thought as he lamented how this was able to happen."The law clearly states that anyone suspected of Zonian worship is taken into question or killed if resisting arrest!" the Inquisitor demanded, despite their differences, that the knights are still under the King and must abide by the Inquisition as the law requires. But the knights held their ground. Defiant as to show this is their vengeance after

  • A Squire's Journey   Chapter 38 - Reinforcements

    A blizzard settled for the night. Unbothered by the cold, the Inquisition pressed on with the attack. Determined to destroy Tarwood's walls, the Inquisitor and Abigail rallied the Inquisition to surround Tarwood and prevent anyone from leaving the town. The Inquisitor commanded the catapults to concentrate their attack on one wall until it cracked. The damage was small, but it was a start. "DEATH!" The Inquisition roared, their bloodlust rising as the wall slowly buckled. They are far from the range of arrows and are relatively safe from harm. There is no need to scale Tarwood's walls; all they have to do is bide their time, and once the walls collapse, they will be eager to swarm their enemies.Tarwood's defenders gathered at the scene where the crack formed. The rocks hurled at Tarwood and the scream for their deaths put a dent in their spirits, and they looked at William for guidance. "Have faith in our friends, as I have in you," William said. His voice carried over the cold wind

  • A Squire's Journey   Chapter 37 - Battle for Tarwood

    The Inquisition forces arrived at the Capital three days later after they left the Abandoned Abyss. Last night's heavy snowstorm made roads difficult to travel on. Still, the Inquisition marched on toward Tarwood. Their black Inquisition flags fluttered into the air, ever arrogantly defying the forces of nature. Thus, they too were a force to be reckoned with.The Inquisition passed through nearby towns, including the outskirts of the Capital, seeking support for their next battle at Tarwood. Instead of being welcomed as heroes who will cleanse this land of the Pentalium plot, they are scrutinized.The citizens began asking if the Inquisition is a lost cause. Despite the numerous members of the Blades and the volunteers, the Inquisition failed to take down a castle. Now they are unsure if the Inquisition can defeat a small town. And with William's pleasing personality and positive impact on Tarwood, the lies of the Inquisitor are starting to crumble before the pressure of the people.

  • A Squire's Journey   Chapter 36 - Calm before the storm

    William returned to Tarwood with an army of hunters. Exhausted from the journey, they pushed through their fatigue, driven by the looming threat of Tarwood's destruction. They arrived as dusk set. Tarwood celebrated their arrival and immediately informed them about the lies the Inquisitor had spread across the Kingdom.The lies had hurt Tarwood's trade and drained the people's morale. Towns and other cities shared their opinions about Tarwood, both good and bad. Still, with William's business and improvements on Tarwood, most of the Kingdom doesn't buy the Inquisition's propaganda. However, the lies took their toll and led to Tarwood's once-busy roads becoming empty and desolate.William stood in the center of Tarwood and recounted the battle at Frosthold. As they listened, the town took pride in William and John's efforts on behalf of the Frosthold and the hunter tribe. A feat Eldric would be proud of.The people of Tarwood understood what was coming and stood with William, determine
