In a section of Margret’s tavern covered roundabout with a red thick curtain, Elroy sits opposite Margret; staring at her as she drinks from a mug. “If only you know what’s going through my mind right now.” Elroy spoke crossly. Margret places her mug on the round table in between her and Elroy then drew closer at him with a smile, “I’m sorry El, I can’t have sex with my son.” “What kind of mother are you?” Elroy was disgusted and worried. “Wow! You called me mother.” Margret praised. “Don’t flatter yourself woman, start talking, why did you leave?” “I was young and foolish and confused.” She took another sip of rum from her mug. “Fantastic, congrats on that" Elroy looks away. Margret glances at him, “Alright, I’ll tell you” she sighs, seeing how serious Elroy looked. “It was my thirteenth year as a maiden and a rule in Urania has been in place that all those with unique fighting style will be taken to the Kingdom of Riana for proper training to become Kings guards.” “I don’t r
Waters of Ramenia A ship drifts through the deep-blue sea raging on its sides, on deck the ship a company of Knights vested in purple armor struggle to keep the sail of the main mast and foremast in order as the howling wind beats against them. By the starboard a bit close to the bridge stood Prince Fredrick, calm and still, clenching hard on the shrouds while gazing at the beauty of the setting sun. "You are pretty good at hiding your fears Prince.” Eslar noticed as she approached. “It’s not good enough if you noticed” As soon as Eslar got to Prince Fredrick she clings unto his hand, “First time at sea?” “First….First time on a ship actually.” Prince Fredrick spoke confidently, trying to keep the pressure arousing through him on check. “I find that fascinating and hard to believe” “I get that a lot, on so many things” “Then there’s more to you that meets the eye.” “You will be very disappointed Commander” Prince Fredrick narrowed his eyes at her. “Let’s start with you callin
Nacroy Not too far from Margret’s tavern, Elroy sits under a horse-chestnut tree, watching the flickering stars while enjoying the serenity the falling blossom created as the warm wind breezes through the surroundings. "Beautiful isn’t it” Margret marveled at the sky as she approached Elroy. “I don’t need your company.” Elroy spoke irately. “I know.” She sits beside Elroy groaning slightly, “I just came to say I’m sorry, I don’t deserve your forgiveness but I’m still going to apologize anyway. I’m sorry, I’m sorry for abandoning you, I’m sorry for not loving you enough to stay when I should have, I’m sorry for being a fool and a coward, I’m really sorry El. You didn’t deserve to grow without a mother’s love, please forgive me.” “You should really learn how to apologize because you are bad at it.” Margret chuckled, “I’ll do just that.” “After everything, why are you not with your beloved?” “My so-called beloved tried to kill me.” “Glad to hear you got what you deserved.” “Don’
About half a mile from the walls of Riana, just before the glooming woods, Elroy stood beside Celsius holding a large sack. Immediately he mounted it on Celsius a familiar stench came upon his nose, he tried grasping what it was when a flash of light shun behind him, not too bright, but enough to cast a huge shadow in front of him. Elroy instantly turned around, holding unto the hilt of his sword, ready to cut the enemy down, but what he witnessed was unexpected. He trembled at the sight of the bloodcurdling evil he beheld, for the aura protruding out of the Behamolt signified death. As soon as Elroy got hold of himself a swipe from the beast sent him spinning into the air, with a brutal force he lands on the ground meters away from the creature. The Behamolt saw no pity in devouring Celsius, it clawed and ripped it limbs from limbs, chewing and nibbling its insides. It was unexpected, Elroy should still be able to move, but he couldn’t – from the fear or the fall, he wasn’t sure,
Kingdom of Riana As the day drew dark, the north section of the fifth district became lighted up and was crowded, for everyone returned to their various homes and others ending their various activities. In the mist of the crowd, the Behamolt - still using Elroy's form stood and watched everyone. How do I get to the west section of the sixth district, he thought. "Excuse me" a male voice spoke from behind Elroy, he quickly turned around to know who it was. "Are you lost?" Tihon Rooks asked. "Ah yes, I know I'm in the fifth district, but how can I get to the West section of the sixth district?" "Continue down this Street until you see a bridge,” Tihon gestured, “it leads directly to the West section of the sixth district." "Thank you very much, may I have a drink with you for this kindness." "Maybe next time...." "I insist sir, it'll make me happy." "Alright, there's a place we can go nearby," Tihon said, walking pass Elroy, "come with me." In a pub with few people, Elroy sits
Kingdom of Riana The heavy down pour came with fury and thundering, driven on all sides by the raging wind - a thick fog hovered over Riana, so dense no one would know who or what was close by. In the west section of the fifth district, two children - male and female, about six-seven years straightened up on their beds due to the loud rumbling and howling. They stared at each other, looking gloomy and drowsy; they stood up on their feet walking out of the room as though they were not in control. The female child opened the door on reaching it, allowing the heavy down pour to gust into the cottage but still the parents of the children were fast asleep, a flash of lightning revealed several figures in the fog - off the children went into the fog. Three days later Fifth district-West section Eight men, mature and young - rode their horses through the empty main street, halting their horses not too far from Commander Darren who stood with five Riana Soldiers in front of the bridge lea
Kingdom of Riana Fifth district-West section Wielding his long sword Jerrod Rooks stood still and calm on the bridge linking the West section of the fifth district and that of the sixth, peering at the veil. He turns over to his seven Soldiers holding torches and their swords then he gazed at Commander Darren standing behind his Soldiers. “Remember what I told you Darren.” “I will Sri Jerrod.” Jerrod turned back to the veil, he sighed then walked into it, as though he was submerged in water, the veil sucked him in - the Soldiers hesitated in their movement but eventually followed. Jerrod and his Soldiers trended the numb silent streets of the obscure ice-cold town, frost following every breath, carefully observing their surroundings, on getting to the town square they beheld with their eyes the bodies of the towns folk, stacked up together and the children sitting round about the pile of bodies; aside this there was a child standing before the sore sight, appearing to be dead but
ORLANDA RAMSEY The town of Ciadac, a South-east town managed by the Clan of Raging Crows; a clan once feared for their mastery over the darkest sorcery years ago. This dreaded clan soon came to know the God and Lord of the Christian faith as soon as the next in command, Lord Aaron Rooks, stepped into power. The Raging Crows are now known as the Purifiers Creed, whose main aim became to preach against evil acts, as tagged evil by the Holy Scriptures; as well as punishing evil men and women who derived joy in engaging wicked acts. In the bliss of the tepid evening atmosphere, Orlanda Ramsey looking ravishing as always, trots his horse through a market, smiling cheerfully at the serenity of the town; coming close to a compound gate, he halts his horse in front of the five spear-men clad in leather gray hooded armor. "State your business,” the middle spear-man ordered “You speak to Orlanda Ramsey, second in command of the Purifiers forces.” “To whom do I owe?” the Soldier pronounced.
