“It doesn’t matter now. What matters is that you should go there and evacuate the rest of the captives. You people are the army, you were supposed to lay down your lives to support the citizens you serve and yet when danger came knocking on our doors you fled to this State and left the rest of the helpless citizens to be held, prisoners! This is the least you can do to repay the citizens you abandoned.” “Trust me, old man, we have tried to go back and save the people we left behind, but there is no way we could get past the Vurhans surrounding us.” “Well, that is why I am here. I have been shown a way to get to the Defectors State. All you have to do is follow my lead.” “How sure can we be that the information you are giving us is true. How can we be sure that you were not sent here by the tyrant himself to lead us into our deaths?!” As the blue rings circulated his forearm Alvatrone intervened and pulled it back down. “No, not this time. I want this to be more entertaining. Kil
Albert said standing at the doorstep. Lora looked back at him she couldn't help but reply with a smirk painted on her face " Is everything okay, my lady? " "I was just thinking about how five years ago, when I used to be tied to your leash.... Now look at you, licking my boots." She giggled, giving him a cold look. "Tell him I'll be there." She said. As soon as Albert started walking off, she turned back to him. "Oh and Albert, you said you wanted to be the commander to the Independent States right?" "... Ye... Yes my lady." "Well, I have a mission for you. And if you are successful, I might consider giving you the title." Albert's eyes lit up,"Yes my lady, I am prepared to serve you in any way." "... Can you still survive without your left arm?" "What...." ༺Sals Village ༻ The festival was at its peak. As the sun was setting, more villagers gathered at the town centre. It seemed like all afternoon was just about preparations and the main event was set to begin. Reene rel
As the shield rolled on the mud with the teeth sticking out of it, Jericho shrieked in pain. Daito finally came to, getting to his feet just in time before the blast shot the Vurhan's entire face off. He charged forward with a blast of his own. Tyndale reverted his attention towards him which left him exposed to the mercy of the beast. Another swipe of the claws ripped up a shred of his skin, allowing blood to run over his chest. His muscular arms pushed Daito back onto the ground once more. He kicked the vurhan and took out its left knee with a blast of energy, rendering it immobile, momentarily. As the vurhan stumbled to the ground he grabbed its arm and pulled it back up, directing its head towards his punch. The two targets collided, leaving a bloody green stain on the Vurhan's face as it slid across the mud. Tyndale felt a severe force push his right shoulder, blue blinding light whisked past his ear, after a while, a sharp pain accompanied the disturbance. He looked to his rig
Hey, Gramps! Look, I met a state guard today, shes just like Lora!" Lisa yanked Slejj's hand as she pulled him closer to Alicia, and he continued to giggle. Lisa let out a cute high-pitched laugh. Slejj felt a rush of icy wind slap his neck as he raised his head. He fixed his vision for a clearer view, and when he glanced down, he saw the sword's silver blade inches from his trachea, begging to be impaled. Alicia had eventually broken out from her trance and drawn her sword. "Don't take another step closer, or else..." "Or else what!" said the man next to her, sternly. Alicia wished she could punch the man in the teeth. She saw a blue wave of light flashing from the guy's general direction out of the corner of her eye. She cocked her head slightly to see what the guy could have up his sleeve that might tempt him to intimidate a state guard. The blooming chromatic light came into focus as she curved her head It was continuously blinking, emitting bluish embers, like a firefly. It
Come on, Dai, it isn't that far!" "You're only saying that because you've already reached the top." Dai struggled to reach the top of the tree. As he clung to the hard bark, it continued to grit his delicate hands as he fought to ascend it. He gradually made it to the brink, where they perched on a branch protruding from the trunk above the hedge that divided the garden from the castle courtyard. He joined in, settling his mass on a suitable spot on the massive branch. They savored the quiet while soaking in the scenery. As their gaze was drawn to the castle, the back door flew open, and someone emerged from inside. He lingered by the door for a moment, as if expecting someone. Drom could tell who he was even from afar; he was the physician who was always around the castle, looking after his father. He eventually made his way down the stairwell that leads to a garden behind the castle. Daito recognized his lean face as he approached the gates. Within his brain, a fierce argument
Alicia took a shovel from behind her and stepped in closer. She was terrified, and she didn't want to get into a fight. If there was to be a showdown, she hoped it would be between her and a squirrel, but unless rodents grew to be six feet tall, it wasn't going to happen.When she got closer, a figure appeared from the bushes, wearing a hood over his face and a cloak that covered his whole body. Alicia swung the shovel in the person's direction out of fear and reflex, and it collided with his temple, throwing him down to the ground."Who are you?" "show yourself!" She tried to come off as authoritative.The person drew his hood back and raised his arms in surrender."Wait a minute!" It's just me... don't worry, it's just me!"Alicia brought the lamp up close to the individual's face. She lowered the shovel as soon as she saw his voice."Wait, Drom? Is it you?" Much of the commotion in the garden was heard by Martha. She took a look outside to see what was going on."ALICIA! What's th
You gain power from human beings. Arekin created human beings, which means you draw power from his creation, and that is just a tiny portion of his power. As a fellow celestial I warn you, only challenge him for the seat of a brother god, but do not challenge him for the seat of heaven! I once had a brother like you, ambitious and overconfident. He thought he could go against him. I warned him but he did not listen. He is now but a mere footnote, his name was Alestio. Ever since he clashed with him, he does not even remember his time in heaven realm, he lost all his memories.”The Great Link looked into Arni’s eyes and saw sincerity staring back. He knew his words carried no bluff.“And why were you banished?”“If I ever reveal the truth about my banishment that would be the day I seize to exist, so I warn you once again. Stop digging into it, it will only make him more aggravated and it will not end well for you.”The Great Link made a reviling face as he vanished. His visit did not
She slapped his arm as she got up and dusted the dirt under her skirt, aggravated and pleased at the same time. “Moron! It's clear the cold was killing you and this is the thanks I get for trying to save your life!” she then walked away, angry because he joked about the first pot of tea she ever made for someone and pleased because that was the first time they have ever had a real conversation, well at least it was close to one. “Wait...” Daito whispered to her before she got far. Alicia swallowed nervously. She tried to mask her unease, “What, you still have another insult you just couldn't repress.” " I need to ask you something.” In an instant, the air seemed to have shifted. The whistling wind halted abruptly and the screeching crickets finished their annoying recitals. Daito's ‘magic’ kicked in and Alicia slowly walked back. “I, I wanted you to...tell me about Drom. How’s he doing?” Daito inquired, angling his head further. Perhaps he didn't want Alicia to see the expression
