Haris, the tall man and another two man were the only ones left alive. Haris was still at the corner, unnoticed, and the two man was fighting hand on hand, weaponless. Both were exhausted but still fighting. The tall man siezed the opportunity and advanced to them. He dashed towards them and swung hard his mace. The two man were sent flying and landed on the ground with a cry. They groaned in pain just as the tall man finished them by smashing their heads with the mace. Haris closed her eyes as he cannot bear to look at the head of the two man turned into a pulp.
The crowd burst into cheering and applause. The tall man dropped his mace and roared in happiness as he assumed that he's the winner. The audience laughed at him and pointed at Haris who stood up and slowly took small steps towards the center.
Haris was shaking. His nerves were
"Is that even edible?" Rena said."Yup. That's what I eat when I was here alone at the woods".Rena didn't answer and touched the dagger on her waist to check if it's still there.She then started to climb, flinging herself from one branch to another. Serra stared at her in awe as she climbed the tree with such speed and expertise."Wow" Serra exclaimed, her eyes following Rena. "How did you learn to climb like that"Rena looked down to her and picked a fruit then dropped it to Serra. "Practice" Rena said.Rena picked another and another and dropped them all to the ground. Serra gathered it all up and pooled it together. Moment after, Rena made her way down and jumped halfway fr
"Keep your eyes open" Rena said, looking around their surroundings. "We're near Nagili village and Leni's men are scattered in these woods".Serra nodded and followed Rena. They make quiet steps and walked under the starry sky. The sun already sets and the moon above shone bright along with the stars that looked like fireflies in the night sky. There were no clouds tonight and the perfect color of the universe compliments the beauty of the moon.They're both exhausted as they walked all day. After they killed the Reaper at the cave, they spent the night there and in the morning they walked immediately, no time to waste. Time is luxury when death is at your tail.Serra was behind Rena and was watching their back. Rena knew these woods well and she was right, Serra could smell the famili
It took them an hour to reached the back of the village safely. They moved quietly under the shades of the shadows of the tree. Fortunately, they made it safe and the watchers didn't catch them. They also didn't meet any of Leni's men or Reapers on their way, just that bird-transforming Badblood.The back of the Nagili village was thick with trees and the shadows there are more dark and cold. In the distance, Serra could see a glimpse of the Lake Tibor. Its water sparked in the moonlight. It is beautiful.The walls stood tall and high in front of them. There were no towers in here, just the torches lined above the wall. They quickly ran towards it and stopped."Okay" Rena said, panting. "We will find that hole. Niko covered it with a pile rocks".
Serra dashed to her and hugged Mira with the bars between them. Mira's familiar touch embraced her skin, sending fire of comfort to her heart. It's like all the baggage she's been carrying in her heart after they got separated on the woods vanished like a snap.Their arms wrapped together tight, ignoring the cold metal bars between them. The sisterly love that flows both of them warmed up their hearts, giving strength to each other."Oh my god" Serra cried after they broke off. She touched Mira's damp rosy cheeks and wiped the tears with her fingers. "Are you okay? Did they hurt you?"."I'm fine" Mira said. "We're fine".Then Niko and Viktor appeared behind Mira, looking thin and exhausted. They've been only away for days yet the feeling was like years.
The Badblood kids were now out of sight. The fighting in the distance was still on and the loud cheering of"Slit his throat! Slit his throat!"fills the air. Luckily, no one is wandering near the prison. Rena looked to them both."Go now!" she said.Serra stepped out from the shadows and ran quickly towards the back of the arena. Her eyes were fixed on the ground while her mind was chanting the words'please don't see me, please don't see me".She hid the blade on her side, her fingers tightly wrapped around the hilt.When she was near on the pile of logs, she ran fast and quickly hid there. She stopped as she remembers the two guys having sex earlier.Mira appeared on Serra's b
"Watch out!" Serra shouts.The arrows hit no one but the lonely ground.Daren halted and bent down, picking up a huge rock. Suddenly, his skin started to change. Spiky solid gray matter clumped up on his skin like a protective layer and enveloped him fully. A moment after, he was like a huge moving rock. His shirt was torn and helplessly clinged on to his hard body.Daren charged and throw the rock to the winged Badblood above. The Badblood didn't see the rock and it landed on his chest. He moaned in excruciating pain and fell down to the ground, head first.Another arrow flew into Daren's chest but it only broke as it reached Daren's rocky skin. Daren bent down again and picked up a rock and throw it to the Badblood. The Badblood saw
The cold water of lake Tibor sparkled in the moonlight and the perfect image of the moon reflects on the water.In the distance, they could still see the birds that stormed the sky. The cries and the screams were also audible.No one spoked as they ran. Their minds were fixed on getting away fast as possible. They don't see Leni's men at their tail now but they can't stop; they're not far yet from the enemies.Viktor was back on his human form, naked, but somehow he managed to grab his clothes when they escaped and he slowly put it back on while running. Now that's talent.Daren's skin also back to normal, his shirt was destroyed and a burn was visible on his chest. He winced as the cold wind hit his skin.Mira is still unconscio
There are gardens lined near the walls were cabbages, berries, and carrots grow. There were children on the garden, growing the crops. They were laughing as they touched the ground and the berries grow slowly. Their eyes gleamed with happiness, enjoying what they do."We are helping the kids control their power here" Kebin said again. "We are helping them reached their full potential. Pikem is a sanctuary for our kind where we don't have to hide who we are. In here, you are what you are".Serra's lips stretched into a smile."Look!" Sisi gasped and looked above.Everyone looked up and saw winged Badblood kids flying above. They were like baby birds who were just learning how to fly. A boy was flapping his wings awkwardly and tried har
