"You bitch! What do you think you're doing!? Do you know who I am!?" A voice rang out through the camp.
Christopher and Cassandra both frowned. While Chris was just worried about a fight breaking out, Cassandra recognized the voice of the man shouting just now. It was Heinrich.Already a large crowd was gathered around the voices. Take that back a large portion of men were surrounding Lord tons of fun and a silhouette not yet in view. many men were facing outward keeping a perimeter and another group surrounding someone with Heinrich, and his left hand man.
"You should be honored! Commoner trash like you would beg to accompany Lord Heinrich! He just asked you to go for a walk!"
"Now, now George. She is just a commoner perhaps she just is not aware of who I am? I am Lord Heinrich, Lord of Bigellia. Now would you care to accompany me? We could even go further then just a walk?""His domain couldn't possibly be as big as he is?"
"What did he say? Big"Well as much as I wish you were wrong about the information you got, fifteen thousand men did in fact arrive in the forest today." Cassandra sighed. She placed an imperial crest on the map where their camp was currently positioned. " I really hoped either you would be wrong about the day or their numbers."We're pretty good at getting information. We convince them it's in their best interest to cooperate, and that we really, really don't like fake information.""I would be very interested in learning how you-" Taelin had begun but stopped mid sentence when he saw the smiles on The Black Guard squad leader's faces. "Yea never mind. So both fortunately and unfortunately they are proceeding slowly. While it means giving us more time to prepare, Obviously their leader is not incompetent enough to not notice over a thousand men going missing so he's moving in slow and being as safe as possible.""So they're not triggering as many traps as we would like?" Mumbled Cassandra
'I have never been so embarrassed ever! two days ago no one would dare to even whisper an insult behind my back out of fear. Now look at me? I have a pine cone up my ass! I have turned into one of the people I would take advantage of. The weak, my ancestor's would kill me themselves were they still alive to witness such a thing.' Heinrich was filled with self depreciation, the devil he now knew as Alayna saw to it there was no shred of pride left in him. Although last night she had kept one of my guards alive just to demonstrate what would happen if I did not listen. I didn't even know it was possible to physically rip someone's head off. The way she did it... Slow, painful, the man had been alive for about the first minute before she snapped his neck.'The thought sent chills down his spine. Heinrich could hear a thundering sound from the distance as he was lost in his thoughts. 'Oh great just to make the day better it's going to rain now.'After she had killed his guar
"Hey come on you're making me look bad...Pull yourself together!" Marcus was currently attempting to convince a corpse to just spring back to life... It also happened to be one he killed... One of his own."I think the commander's finally lost his mind." announced one of the soldiers currently protecting Marcus."I mean I wish I could say I didn't see it coming...""Guess that Tiny guy was the final nail on the coffin."ROOOOAR!Marcus's eyes popped open. He let go of the head that just flopped down to either side. Slowly he turned his head almost making a creaking sound and looked over his shoulder."What the fuck...?" Marcus mumbled. A Giant dragon made of water behind his army. It rose up into the air and plunged with it's mouth wide open crashing down into a formation of imperial soldier's."What the hell is that!?""It's just some form of magic! Mage's get rid of that damn thing!" Marcus yelled finally regaining his wits. The impe
"You ok Taylor?" The werewolf Marcus ran through canceled her transformation and held onto her wound."I'll be fine, it's already healing.""Good. Go ahead and rest up for now." The girl groaned but did as she was told. Christopher looked towards Marcus. "Now that you're going to pay for." If there was anything Chris hated it was seeing close friends in pain of any kind.Marcus refused to look away. This kid may not look it, but he was terrifying."You know kid it would probably be better if we both just went our separate ways, one of us may die." Smiled Marcus."You make it sound like I could be in danger? Don't worry I assure you I will make your death as painless as possible."'Well isn't he just confident. Not exactly comforting.'"Well then, Lets get to it." Marcus swung his sword. "Just what is that going to hi-" Christopher frowned mid sentence and leaned his head backward. Marcus pumped magic into his blade mid swing and and it exte
Present day...."Please tell me that is not what he actually said." Sarah mumbled massaging her temples. "Unfortunately I very much can see him saying that. Sorry Sarah, maybe accept your new prince charming is not so charming.""Seriously the balls..." "My man! I'm proud of him!"Sarah, Vanessa, Garrett, and Thomas all had something to say on the subject. General consensus... Not very good."Unfortunately he really did, but honestly it wasn't all he had to say." Cassandra shrugged and smiled at everyone, unfortunately since the day I have met him, he has always had an abrasive and shall I say....Unfiltered personality.""So I have a question." Vanessa raised her hand slightly. "I mean he didn't exactly sound like he was all sunshine, rainbows and happiness, but I must admit he seems much more, how should I say it? He seems much more bitter and closed off. I wouldn't think him losing the war would be enough to do that?"Whi
"Oh it was quite simple. When they showed up here to spread their lies, I had all of them killed.""Seriously?""Very much so, I won't tolerate people trying to stir shit up in my own territory, Even if somebody came to light with a dirty secret about me, I would allow it. It's part of the reason the people of Helenfel and all the rest of my territory trust me. When the bastard's began to show up I killed all of them.""Weren't you afraid of offending the king?""Oh please, the fact that I am still alive is an offense to that man and his son, the war financially ruined him, and up until now I never gave the empire a reason move against me."She shrugged smiling grimly. Going up against a trash King like Robert Velen was one thing, but going against the world's greatest super power was a whole different level. Although so long as she didn't get caught it would be nothing but baseless accusations."The reason I am alive, that thousands of my people are
"Well now who is ready for an execuuuuutioooon!?""Yeaaa!" The crowd gathered into the town square everybody's shoulders were pretty much touching it was packed so tight."It was only a little over two years since this scum, these cowards who could never know honor, tried to kill our king!" Voices filled with anger and hate filled the square as thousands of eye's looked upon the stage in both awe of the speaker, and detest of the men chained to the stage."Traitors need to die!""I bet they were agents of the empire the whole time!""My son died in the fight to subjugate you son's of bitches!""If that's the case Ma'am your son was the traitorous piece of shit, also do you know what that means?" one of the men chained to the stage slowly raised his head to meet the eye's of the woman in the crowd and smiled coldly. " That also means he died like a squealing bitch!" He yelled and spit on the ground. "I promise every single person there died horribl
"Many of you may not know who I am, many may have forgotten me, and many wish they could forget me. I am Havoc! I am fear, so I fear nothing, but you... You will fear me." Havoc announced. The whole world was witnessing everything through the proxy magic that was being used. In this single moment the entire world discovered Havoc was back."Those who have a will to fight either join me, or fear me. The choice is yours to make." Everybody present began to look a bit nervous, it felt as if the air pressure had increased with the weight of his words."Don't listen to him! I'm certain General Andrew can put him down again!""Ah speaking of." Havoc turned towards him, the general stared daggers back at him. "You.. Get on the ground like the animal you are and beg forgiveness." Havoc ordered."I don't care if you're real or not. Only one person can order me to the ground. Go to hell!" Spat Andrew defiantly."That so?" Havoc clapped his hands one palm facing the sky the o
