************************FORGOTTEN TEMPLES OF SOUTH ANGUS****************************Shinsin shouted at Melody, pointing towards the horizon dotted with archers. They seemed to have halted their attacks.“Should we bring down the spell?”“Not yet? They might be planning something else.”Melody’s arms grew tired. She had them suspended for quite some time and was beginning to feel the effects. Occasionally she would revert her attention towards the evacuating army at the west. They seemed to have had it under control, fighting of the portion of Tyndale's army that had followed them back into the woods. She was finally calm, hoping he had made it safely into the evacuation.“That’s the last of them. Let us get going before more enemies follow us!”Thomas said, collapsing a chunk of rocks he had suspended over the remaining group of assailants that were following them. They managed to push the refugees out of the forest and into an open field where the path they had followed lay.Drom wa
Melody whispered to herself as she watched him run across the forest. From her elevated point of view, she could see everything from the top of the hill. She wanted to get down there and help Drom reach the army, but the army men kept staring at him like they had seen a ghost, perhaps they had.“Lady Melo! What are you doing, help me maintain the barrier! We have to hold it before Daito gets here!”“Right! Sorry,”Melody strengthened the hovering ring with her own magic, she was still worried about Drom, but eventually, as she looked down she saw a group of soldiers detach themselves from the rest of the army and approached him.On the west side of the battlefield, the refugees had managed to squeeze themselves out of the line of fire. The army had surrounded their escape to make sure no foreign hostile could reach them.“State guards! Go help him!”Thomas shouted the order to Robert and his comrades. They were hesitant for a moment, unsure of the perception of their eyes. The last ti
*******************************NORTH ANGUS***********************************On the west side of the battlefield, the refugees had managed to squeeze themselves out of the line of fire. The army had surrounded their escape to make sure no foreign hostile could reach them.“State guards! Go help him!”Thomas shouted the order to Robert and his comrades. They were hesitant for a moment, unsure of the perception of their eyes. The last time they checked their king was dead, completely dead. But after five years there he was, running towards them.“What are you waiting for! They are closing in on him, get to him before they do!”Reene was the first to advance, thumping Valmon on his shoulder and jolting his senses back into action. Robert, on the other hand, needed no wake-up call, as soon as he saw Reene take off he was hot on his trail. Salron the cowardice was the last to advance.Tyndale's army was closing in on them, fast. They noticed the small group breaking up from the larger for
............“That’s the last of them. Let us get going before more enemies follow us!”Thomas said, collapsing a chunk of rocks he had suspended over the remaining group of assailants that were following them. They managed to push the refugees out of the forest and into an open field where the path they had followed lay.Drom was amongst the state guards, he tried hard to control the pace of his breathing but he could not. His body was without a functioning heart which made doing anything that required rapid movement a strenuous affair.“How’s the king doing?”Thomas asked the crowd of state guards surrounding him.“Uh, not good sir. He might be losing consciousness.”Robert answered back. As he was giving his response he looked back at Drom and noticed a patch of red coloring on his top. He slightly peaked through the sagging shirt and noticed the heavy layer of bandages running across his chest.“I think he might be injured. And he is losing a lot of blood!”“Quickly then! We have
**************************************FLASHBACK******************************************Tyndale asked, walking slowly towards the duo. With each step, the mud below his soles boiled. Daito twitched his eyebrows a little. The words seemed to be getting through to him“Ah yes, I get it now. They have you under a slave emblem! No wonder you are this weak, needing the help of that vile creature to fight me!”Jericho shrieked back, it seemed to understand Tyndale's words and they didn’t settle well with it. Protected by the swarm of purple embers, Ladzgery went on the offensive, charging towards the duo.“I can't, I can't hold it up anymore.”Melody’s hands dropped and the ring collapsed with it, removing the orange tint it had cast over the battlefield.“Looks like Daito might be in a bit of trouble. I'll go down and help him finish Tyndale off, you keep watch on the exit and make sure no soldier from Tyndale's army makes it past this point.”Shinsin and Kuro said, addressing Melody who
DEFECTORS STATE BEYOND ITS BORDERS"Lads, he's awake!"One of the soldiers yelled this to the rest of the troops. They ran to the tent after dumping bowls of whatever they were serving for lunch. They surrounded it, waiting for him to emerge into the outdoors, it took him a while but he finally got up from his bed.“Hey, Hey!” Allow him some breathing space! He's returned from the dead, and the last thing he needs to see is faces looking at him, as though you've seen a ghost,”Garvin exclaimed. As he worked his way through, Garvin dragged the soldiers back. Finally, he approached the tent's entrance and drew the silk curtain that acted as the door down. Drom crawled out, his arms covering his eyes from the light.“Are you all right there?"As Drom walked out of the tent, Garvin asked, lending him a hand. Thomas, Xermia, and Sigrid, as well as the rest of the state guards, gathered at the tent.“Yes, I'm fine; it's just the sunlight,” Drom was expressive. Garvin laughed and spat out t
The day was still, humid, and cold. The villagers went about their everyday lives, their interests and work preoccupying them. On her way to the rice fields, was a pretty maiden. Walking down a narrow path lined with shrubs whose hard limbs protruded into the path, attempting to scrape her knees.She hopped over the branches now and then, singing a soothing tune to herself to make the trip more bearable. She was on her way to give lunch to her two brothers, who were working alongside other villagers in the rice fields. Harvest season had arrived, and they needed to harvest as much rice as possible before the rains arrived and left the field too muddy to walk on. As she walked through the lane, mud collected on the bottom of her dress.A loud implosion rocked her to the ground as she exited the road and into a gorge. She tripped and slipped, losing the bag containing the delicacies on her back. When she landed flat on her stomach, her brunette hair soaked up mud. A globe of energy emer
****************************************NORTH ANGUS******************************************They had formed a line in front of the tyrant. The night's temperatures fell to zero due to the ashore wind, making it unbearable for them to live outdoors. The three saints of the soul master, Lancer, Charger, and Raider, appeared in front of the audience assembled outside the king's fallen palace. The podium, which was normally used to address the townspeople, was to be transformed into an execution site.Individuals knelt before the audience on the platform: Alexander Xermia, the Xermia family's head, Rowan Eelse, the Eelse family's head, Ulrio Townsdy, the Townsdy family's head, Sho Akiro, the Akiro family's head, Sigrid Hermon, the Hermon family's head, Thomas Miler, the Milner family's head, and Simmons Harmel Zeyer.Erik Rovier and Anselm Portriesse had escaped the ordeal with the rest of the town's residents. Julius Aldeim had succumbed to the sword of his lieutenant, Jrue Deryleen, a
