Think about it. You have been staying inside these walls for five good years after the invasion. The only reason you haven't been attacked by Tyndale is the same reason why you haven't attacked him…. The Vurhans. Dakario placed a strong boundary made of Vurhans between the two of you. Keeping both of you at bay so that they can have more time to find the king and finish him off the end the covenant cycle for good, because if you and Tyndale went to battle and you died it would ruin everything. That is why they were cautious not to leave anything behind that could help you get stronger and break through the boundary.” “… That is why they took the covenant book and killed Hashi,” Alicia responded in realization. “Exactly. So, they sent spies here to monitor your state, and lately you have been getting stronger. And once one of the spies broke cover and was seen conscious they knew it was only a matter of time before they were discovered so a plan was made for their extraction, and the
Alicia was further away, from where Daito had appeared. Daito struggled to walk up to them clenching on his chest. The fifth head dashed to him and started chanting some incantation Alicia had heard before when they were in the woods, "I call to you great presence. Heed to my orison and grant me your unfathomable power! For we serve you, o great link, our path to Tomasa!" the gushing wound on Daito's chest immediately closed up. The fifth head had in his hands the chest that was in Daito's room. He opened it up and handed Daito the long cloak that was inside. Daito draped it over his shoulders. The others gathered up around him and the fifth head veered to him, "Congratulations Dark bender, you are now a member of the Clan of Tomasa Children, you are now the ninth head, let us go, the master heads await your arrival." "What about her?" one of the assassins asked, pointing towards Alicia. "Kill her!" the fifth head said. "We do not kill females, that is our code as ordered by our m
His slurred voice made it difficult to comprehend what he was saying but Alicia was able to pick out a few sentences and put them together to try to make sense of it. "Well, why don't you come in, we only have a couple of bottles left, and they won't finish themselves, you know." "I'd like to warn you that drinking while on duty is against the rules! And then, when I report directly to the king, I'm writing a report to him. I'm here on a very important mission, sir, and if you don't mind telling me where I can find your superior, that will be nice." "Oooh, the little princess is having a grand time. Don't presume I'm stupid because I'm intoxicated... a fema... female State Guard, come on! I may be The Vurhanil King's mother." Alicia grew enraged and seized the man's left arm, dragging him closer to her. She yanked him back and pulled him to the ground until her feet were in place. The inebriated knight guard lost control of his body. His foot dislodged from the ground, and he plum
Drom did not answer her back. It was getting hard to process all that information. She ignored his silence and continued her speech. “She is also in danger. They are planning to use her for something. Something called realm traveling. They are currently teaching her how to do it with one of the heads, Asobi. But she is not aware that he is a Head.” “Where is she now?” “The Forgotten Temples of South Angus, I think,” “… when you joined the Heads, did they show you what they called the Truth?” “No, I don’t think so,” Drom drifted into a daze once more. Melo grew impatient and spoke again. “What does that have to do with…” The entire audience roared in awe. Alicia took her bag and went right into the hovel, where she noticed a middle-aged guy seated at the far end. A stacked stack of papers sat on the table in front of him. He inhaled deeply and placed his pipe on a tray on the table. "Was it Alvatrone or one of the Herman bald bastards who taught you those moves?" He th
He reached out and laid his hand on Rowan's chest; a concentrated string of violet and black energy poured out of his chest and onto Tyndale's arm shortly after. And from distance, the audience could see the flicker of life in his eyes fade away, his legs stopped kicking, and his hands fell away from the tyrant's grip. He eventually collapsed to the ground, lifeless. “Do you really refuse to acknowledge me as your ruler?” He screamed again. The chants set off a chain reaction. The public hanging of one of their delegates frightened the shocked audience even more. Tyndale grumbled softly as he watched the audience press back towards the surrounding walls, backing away from him. He tossed Rowan's dead body across the platform, scraping a few splinters off the wooden deck as it rolled across the podium. He went on to the next victim, Sho Akiro, who was kneeling beside Rowan, still breathing. His slim frame was easily picked up. Before he had picked him up off the deck, Tyndale clenche
“Well! I am Waiting!” Tyndale barked, his voice full of excitement. Jrue charged towards him. He wasn’t that good of a fighter in tight spaces but give him an open field and he would perform his acrobatic stunts that surprisingly packed a punch. He sought to tilt the odds to his advantage by taking him to an open field, and there was only one way he saw how. Running full steam ahead he tackled Tyndale and they both burst through the window, shattering the glass and falling three from a height three stories high. There was no object below to cushion their landing, so they sprawled to the hard ground. Jrue landed on his chest, breaking a bone or two. Tyndale landed on the shards of glass. They dug into his back, yet he seemed not to feel irritated by the pain. Before he could get up Jrue rushed over to him and impaled his leg with one of the blades he accompanied himself with. He had miraculously picked it up before they fell from the window. The blade was in so deep it stuck to Tynda
For a moment he looked vulnerable, and Alicia felt like giving him a warm tight hug, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. The smile she saw earlier on promptly deformed to an addled blank shape, then finally dropped to a scowl. His face turned pale again, paler than usual. “What about Hashi?” “You mean your father...” “He’s not my father!” he growled, packing up a load of hate behind his words. “You know what forget it, forget I asked...” he rose tucked his arms inside the side pockets of the trousers he had on. “I’m going for a walk...”. she definitely said something wrong “Wait Daito...hold on!” Alicia tried running after him, but he vanished into the trees, swallowed by the darkness of the night. She thought back at how Daito had a hard time growing up. She, on the other hand, had everything going well for her, the perfect childhood. A loving mother, a caring dad. They were seemingly royalty living in a mansion. She had supportive friends, in essence, she had everything Dai
She shed the act she was putting on of being a strong fierce leader and allowed herself to feel vulnerable for once, to be a young adult girl in a cruel world. The rest of her fellow state guards in her living room could hear her crying, but they all put themselves in her shoes and knew deep in their hearts what she was going through. They would have done the same, take a break and let it all out. Surprisingly Tulip was amongst them, but she was heavily chained down she couldn’t even make a step forward. The whole house was soundless, only infrequent sounds of Alicia’s sobs broke the silence. After an agonizing thirty minutes her cries finally died down and she walked out of her room with swollen eyes. “So, what is it you wanted to tell us! Exchange of information and we will grant you freedom… that was the deal.” Alicia said, trying hard to compose herself. Tulip tried hard to straighten to her feet. “Yes, that was part of our deal. Part of it, you still haven’t brought your moth
