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
Lora tried her best to get up, but she could not even see a few feet further from where she was. Her right eye was completely swollen, blurring her vision. Her ribs were aching with every breathe, she was sure a couple had fractured under the immense force of the hit she took earlier on. Jrue on the other hand seemed to be in better shape than her, despite receiving a thrashing worse than hers. He was the first one to his feet. As she tried to orient herself, a dense object was sent flying towards their direction. Jrue was sharp enough to duck and dodge it but Lora’s eyesight was still blurry. The table swept her off her feet, landing a hit across her chest and sending her flying across the room. The closed doors broke her flight. She hit her head hard on the wooden frame, splitting splinters from the door frame. The mammoth had picked up the table with one hand and thrust it towards them. Fear was creeping in and Jrue was re-evaluating his options. A retreat would seem reasonable a
The closed doors broke her flight. She hit her head hard on the wooden frame, splitting splinters from the door frame. The mammoth had picked up the table with one hand and thrust it towards them. Fear was creeping in and Jrue was re-evaluating his options. A retreat would seem reasonable at that point. Lora had been completely taken out of the equation. “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.

The king's restricted spell was cast, and all of the vurhans in North Angus died, leaving the deity with little to consume, so it began chasing people's souls. That's why I jumped in and gave it a once-in-a-lifetime contract. I decided to sell my body to it. I told it that if it takes over my body, I would assist it in feeding on the vurhans left in the Independent states in exchange for it never attacking another human. It agreed to the terms and took up residence within my body; it's still inside me as we talk, and I can feel it every day." He looked down at his arm, disgusted at the veins that had tainted it. "What about North Angus?" Alicia asked him. He was questioned by Alicia. "Vurhans no longer live in that place, but if I return there, it would clearly break its terms and continue attacking people, which I cannot have. That is why I fled and will not return until all of the vurhans beyond these walls have died. That completes my sad heroic tale!" Alicia was speechless;
She pulled out a dagger and placed it over Martha’s neck. Alicia charged a shot and pointed her hands towards her but she used Martha as a shield. The rest of the state guards pulled out their weapons. She pulled her off the wheelchair and walked with her towards the door. “This entire house is surrounded Tulip. If you do anything foolish you won’t make it out of here alive!” “Don’t worry Alicia. I'm not going to hurt your mother. This is just a precautionary measure to ensure my escape. I have one last thing I was told to tell you Alicia. The person who was sent to extract the spies. He told me the eight Heads have chosen you to be worthy of seeing the truth! You must follow the path to find the great link. He has all the answers!” “Let my mother go and we can have a civil discussion!” Oddly enough Martha remained as calm as ever, as if she knew she was not going to get harmed. DISTRICT DARK Alicia locked herself up inside her house. She felt the entire weight of the world on
