Chapter 44. New Companions (1)
“Where’s Gray?”
Leon finally sat down in the small room that Sierra rented. It felt like the heavy luggage that he carried was gone. Sierra stared at him intently, as if she wanted to scan the younger boy. His face was dirty, and he was thinner than the last time she saw him.
“I don’t know. You’re the second one to arrive after me.”
Hearing that, Leon furrowed his eyebrows, “He’s going to be fine, right?”
Sierra didn’t answer and shrugged her shoulders, “We still have two days left. If he doesn’t arrive, I’ll go out to search for him.”
Leon nodded his head and started to play with his fingers. “Leon, what’s wrong?”
It was silence for a long time until he hoarsely spoke, “I- I don’t know what happen to my family.”
“That night, it happened too fast. I couldn’t sneak pass the soldiers. I was too afraid

The other man was a handsome, tall man. He was young, maybe not that different with Leon’s age. However, his force was really strong; choking the boy to the wall without any mercy.“Come on, Xion! That’s a little kid!”The muscular man, who appeared drunk a minute ago, now seemed sober and aware. At that moment, Leon understood that he fell into their traps. They might be the soldiers who massacred his family! The man called Xion didn’t loosen his grip, instead he answered back coldly, “Well, Keith. At this age and time, you would never know what a kid capable of.”“Oh, man! Do you think they born from war era?! See! He’s turning blue!”The man called Xion didn’t hear his companion words. With a serious face, he asked to the kid he pinned, “You. Why are you following us? Do you know s-“Before he could finish his words, an arrow flied to his head in a fast speed. That tall man was really fast, jumping backward to separate himself from Leon. Both of the men pulled their swords, cutting

“S-sorry?” Keith clearly caught off guard; he was sure he spoke in a really quiet voice, almost none in fact, since he was trained to do that for years. Also, for some reasons, his back started to sweat with his lips getting dried.“Sierra!!” Gray stood out from his bed, standing in front of the lady and held her hands. She was different from the time they spent their time together; another side that new to him and Leon. However, he could understand it. They hadn’t had easy nights these past weeks.“They’re nice guys. You have to trust me, okay? There’s time when I’m in danger, but they save me over and over again.”“Why would you be in danger?” Sierra snorted. She was sure no stupid soldiers crawled alive from her hell that night.“Because we-uh, entered a wrong cave?” Gray smiled stupidly, scratching his head as he looked at tallest man in the room, “What was that

“I’m fine with it, seriously,” Gray told Sierra in the most cheerful tone. Since the discussion almost turned into fist fight, Gray asked the men to step outside for a bit while he explained the whole things to Sierra and Leon. Xion didn’t like it, but Keith, with his bloody face, pushed his friend out from the room.“And I’m not stupid,” he continued, “I’m not doing it for free. They-uh… they said they can clear my name in the state’s court.”“Wow, really?!” Leon went excited, “Sierra, it means good, right?”“How come you’re so sure about that?” She crossed her arms, eyes narrowed judgingly. “Haven’t you learnt your lesson back then? Do I need to remind you?” She didn’t stop, and shot her words like a venom, “Gray, I seriously expect something better than to foolishly trust two strangers.”The boys were used to hear her scolding, but this time… for some reasons, her words really cut deep into their bones; even Leon felt like he almost cried, he wondered what about his friend next to
Blessings of The Sun Chapter 48. Nice Hospitality (1)
Great. Just great. Xion wanted to travel fast, took rest only if necessary, but now? He had to scrap those plans.He felt like he’s walking with a band of weird people. Two underage kids, his weird friend, and one woman with temper issues. The next day, they departed right away to the state and he firmly stated, “Follow us both closely. If you were left behind,” then he made sure to stare at Sierra and Leon, “We don’t give a damn, alright?”In his side, Keith nudged him strongly, “Man, that’s harsh.”“Shut up.”Sierra rolled her eyes lazily, her bow on her back and she ready to go. Gray and Leon couldn’t hide their excitement as this was their first time to travel to the State of Etherna. They took off early in the morning, with steady pace on this ‘great mission’ of the mercenaries.In the woods, Leon asked the men, “How long we’re going on foot?”

It was already night, so the castle was pretty much empty; only the guards who stood still in front of the doors. Now, all of them stood in front of the main door before they met the president. Sierra took a deep breath as she talked with the group lowly, “So, should we just tell the truth or what? Can we trust him?”“Him? The president, you mean?” Xion unconsciously showed his tone of disbelief. “Of course, we tell him the truth. He’s the president.”“Being a president doesn’t mean that he’s trusted with this soon-to-be war situation,” Sierra narrowed her eyes. Xion was already opening his mouth when Gray walked to their middle, “Okay! Guys, calm down.”He turned his head to look at the lady, “Sierra, I’m sorry, but this time, I think we have to agree with Xion. It’s best to speak about the truth.”Sierra could swear that she saw that man’s lips curved a lot for one second before he changed his expression back. “Fine,” she gritted her teeth. After that, with Keith in the front, they
Blessings of The Sun Chapter 50. The President
Leon expected that the president was going to be an old, fat, bald man, but turned out he was pretty much in shape, like a retired soldier. Gray also couldn’t hide his curious stares to the man.“State your business with Lord Adam.” The woman right next to the president, which Sierra assumed as Xion’s friend, stared at them nicely.“Greetings, Lord Adam,” Xion took a step as he placed his fist on his heart. “As we have mentioned before in the letter, we afraid a war is going to happen soon between the State of Etherna and Kingdom of Bealaris.”Sierra closely watched the president; he was definitely pissed at the news. And she was right; the next moment, Adam slammed his fist to his royal chair and spoke loudly, “How dare that poor country killed my people, ignoring the peace treaty that our ancestors signed!”Then he proceeded to curse at the country until the assistant reminded him with a small cough. ‘So, who’s the leader of the army?” That man asked.“We believe it’s Prince Heath h
Blessings of The Sun Chapter 51. War
“What do you want to know, then?” Sierra raised her eyebrows. Surely, this man didn’t come only to praise her amazing works.“Why did you do it?”“Why? To protect the boys,”Malcolm gulped down hardly as he stuttered, “D- do you have to burn them like that?”Sierra snorted, “Sorry, fire isn’t exactly filled with mercy.”Malcolm grunted as he had heard about this type of blessing. Fire, the fiercest of all. If the bearer didn’t have strong mind, it would burn down everything around. In his army, only two soldiers that bear the fire blessing. Often, they would accidentally burn their own comrades.However, he saw Sierra’s remnants. It was a perfect circle, and it meant she was a master. He never saw anyone who could control fire that… beautifully and terrifyingly. Of course, as a soldier he couldn’t waste this chance.“If there’s war coming…” He started, trying not to sound too eager, “I want you to join us.”“Ah,” Sierra opened her mouth, clearly unimpressed by this sudden invitation t

“So, how’s the enemy doing?” Keith asked with his mouth full of rice. He sat down alone in the dining table, as he stuffed his stomach. It had been a couple of weeks after the president’s order was declared. Since the security was tighten in the whole country, the group decided to rest first, by renting a small house outside of the capital area.Xion just came back from running a small errand in the town, and he looked around the house before answering his friend, “Bad. They’re attacking full-charge at every town in the northern area. Adam has closed the gate, no one is allowed to enter here. They’re just-““Waiting to be butchered,” Sierra cut him with her cold voice. Xion glanced at her who stood still at the kitchen and nodded bitterly, “Yeah. He’s crazy… Adam, I mean. And, based from what I’ve heard, some still managed to pass through with various ways.”“Let me guess; bribing the soldiers!” Keith spoke with apparent disgust by the thought that soldiers took advantage on the poor
