The ocean waves crashing against Keep's wall spelled its doom. Every wave that hits the wall weakens its foundation, making the Keep give way against its weight.

The Keep's walls and floor broke as the pillars supporting the Keep weakened when the Study collapsed.

The alchemists sprang from their lab and began to flee.

The guards abandoned their post, fearing for their lives.

But despite the situation, George and the two generals stayed. George prayed that the two boys survived their fall, while the generals were confident that the Doctor would return and lead their town back to glory.

The loud clash of blades awakened John. When he comes to his senses, the dimly lit sewers beneath the Keep greet him with hundreds of dead rats around him and thousands more alive, staring back at him from a distance.

William jumped behind John to deflect the knives flying toward him.

"John, stay close to me," William said as he reminded his friend that the rats would not eat him as long as

  • 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

  • A Squire's Journey   Chapter 35 - The Banners of War

    Shortly after retreating from the assault, the Inquisitor had been yelling at the top of his lungs how he would not be further humiliated by William and vowed to destroy Tarwood first before conquering the rest of the Kingdom. The Inquisitor ordered his accompanying Blades that once they returned to the inner cities of the Kingdom, they were to spread the news of William's treachery across the Kingdom.The narrative claimed William had fallen for Pentalium's lies and pursued the Inquisition into the north. With Frosthold's aid, he wiped out their forces, leaving only a handful to return and tell the tale. This lie and their lack of returning forces would surely rile the Kingdom and justify erasing Tarwood from the map."They will all burn in Tarwood." The Inquisitor's rage intensified. Suddenly, the Inquisitor felt a feverish chill in the intense cold of the north. But even fevered, his hatred for William never faded.Five days after William left Frosthold's castle, the Inquisitor and

  • A Squire's Journey   Chapter 34 - The misguided army

    William rallied the tribe to fight harder than before. Swords clashed against shields as the Blades battled at the behest of the Inquisitor like rabid dogs. The tribe met the Blades with equal ferocity and painted the battlefield crimson at night.John and Berg rode across the battlefield, tossing every last vial from Berg's bag. Explosions of light and flame tore through the Blades' ranks, clearing a path for the hunters to press their attack. They crushed the Blades' defenses, with John and Berg leading the Frosthold soldiers and hunters. Finally, they defeated the bulk of the Inquisitor's soldiers.With the threat from the battlefield gone, William commanded the hunters to save the castle. Berg and John led their people towards the castle, and hunters and Frostholds worked together to save their families from the cavalry that Abigail brought.As the Blades held their ground, vicious flames raged through the castle's gates. These are the elites, and they will not go down easily. Ber

  • A Squire's Journey   Chapter 33 - Hero of this battle

    Days before the battle at Frosthold Castle, the Inquisition publicly revealed Ingrid in the Capital. In response, people eagerly lined up to join the fight against her tribe. After their march left the Capital, the Inquisitor whispered instructions to Morgan, telling her to travel to one of their Pentalium hideouts northeast of the Kingdom. There, he said, she would find a gift.Morgan, Abigail's alias among the Inquisition, obeyed. A day later, she arrived at a Pentalium hideout. It was an abandoned fortress, decaying and slowly reclaimed by nature. Outside, two hundred Blade riders waited for her arrival. She was elated at the sight of an army before her, but her joy quickly faded when she noticed a familiar man waving at her.The Pentalium's leader stood at the fortress entrance. He turned and gestured for her to follow him inside.Morgan entered. Once they were alone, she removed her mask and revealed her face."Abigail Silverhand, welcome back," the man said. But to Abigail, it s

  • A Squire's Journey   Chapter 32 - Together Again

    Frosthold Castle was in turmoil. The tribe was blamed for the calamity that would be unleashed if they didn't leave. Some wanted to help and were willing to fight, having already grown fond of them.George quelled their voices and united the Frostholds by reminding them that the Inquisition could paint anyone as their enemy, like what happened to them forty years ago. Whether they believed him or not, the Inquisition could sway the public trust, and their only hope of surviving the night was to prepare.Ingrid's grandmother joined George and ordered her hunters to listen. "They will kill Ingrid when we step out of the gate." She spoke with pain in her voice and told the tribe she was willing to let Ingrid die if it meant saving the many. An answer no one wanted to hear, but it was the reason she was their leader. She will do everything to keep the majority alive."Frosthold has stood countless invasions for centuries. We have fought many battles since and more after this," George said

  • A Squire's Journey   Chapter 31 - To the Rescue!

    As the Inquisitor left, his Blades followed behind him. William noticed that the Blades were all the same height as the Inquisitor except for his right-hand man, Morgan. Inquisition supporters in the Capital packed their items and traveled with the Inquisitor to Frosthold Castle.William's dark thoughts urged him to use Bane and save Ingrid. The Zonian blood within him was boiling. But William clenched his fist and stood still as they left the Capital with Ingrid.The air returned to silence. The public court was left in the hands of the knights as they began retrieving the bodies of the so-called 'assassins'. Furious at the Inquisition for what had been done to their families, the knights wondered how to clear their names. Amidst their blistering snow, they all looked at Rolfe, who openly defied the Inquisition the most. The young knight asked others to remember their oath. When the Inquisition fails, becomes greedy with corruption, or another battle comes to the Kingdom, the knight
