Chapter 15: Preordained Night did not cause Sasha to be hindered while galloping at her fastest speed. The landscape transitions as quickly as the time did. Once grassy plains turned into a forest. Tall trees held back most of the morning rays at bay. Only the road they followed was clear path. It was not till the mid-afternoon that the sun broke through dense canopy of leaves. Rays of light embraced them with such warmth that only summer could offer. A gentle breeze flowed against them as Sahsa trotten. Ka-Rin was anxious on how the visit was going to got with Lord Vazquez. After all it had been a generation of time since the Ming’s and Vazquez’s were acquainted. Hopefully, the gesture that was made back then will still hold weight. Outside of her eye color was X’s purple jade ring that could be used to show the jade was the same color. That should suffice as ample proof. X felt her uneasiness as they progressed towards the town, Paso. He also had his own doubts as well but, all h
After browsing around Lord Henderson’s vault, Ishmael was still seeking two items. There was indeed many items in the vault! One could find anything from precious gems, daggers, armor and everything in-between. Ishmael was frustrated. If he had only been granted one item of his choosing, the process would have been faster. “What are you looking for in particular, Ishmael?” Jeremy had caught on to Ishmael expression and decided to ask. Ishmael’s laughter suddenly filled the vault. “Jeremy, I do not know. If I had known I would have asked directly.” “I suppose that is part of the problem.” Jeremy wasted no time in his response. Jeremy was in thought, as he glanced at Ishmael. “Come with me.” Jeremy said, as he started navigating the vault. After a few twists and turns they arrived in front of a granite pedestal. “This may be of interest, considering that you are a scout.” Jeramy lifted the item slowly, and carefully passed it to Ishmael. “I do not know the origin of the peculiar item.
Ishmael did not get up until Lord Henderson was out of sight. His personal vault! This was the unexpected. He knew thistle had conquered another lord and expanded his kingdom, and all of the previous lord’s possession became his. This would be exciting as everyone knew that there was an unimaginable amount of rare items in there! He got up quickly and went to seek out Jeramy. “Jeramy, Lord Henderson has offered me two selections out of his personal vault. He requires that you see to it. He has informed me that you have vital knowledge about the contents stored in there. He hinted that this information would be important upon my selection.” Ishmael could not help but to smile proudly as he announced this to Jeramy. Jeramy could not help but to scratch his head before he replied. “Ishmael, there are definitely things that are stored in there that could not be found if atte
Ishmael knew that he was going to have to face Lord Henderson. He dared not go back empty handed. If he did that would be a certain death. He walked back in the direction he came from. Right before the inn, he found Alyisha. There she laid, in the meadow. “For give me for not burying you, but I require your body.” His words were drowned out from the sound of the inn collapsing on itself. Ishmael did not flinch but remained heavy hearted. He did believe in any god, but he always respected the dead. This was going to be his only exception. He gently picked her up and carried her to his mount. He dared not delay, for he was going to be in need of assistance. However riding with a deceased person was cumbersome and time consuming. He didn’t want to dishonor the dead. So he carefully placed Alyisha perpendicular to the mount, making sure not to let her fall. He jumped on the horse and carefully started his journey to Lord Henderson
Ka-Rin had just came back to her senses, as she watched X slay Hezi. “Mother!” She cried out as ran towards he mother. “My Daughter!” Alyisha gasped, as the was still struggling to regain all the air that was slowly forced away from her. “Are you okay mother, please stay with us!” Alyisha bursted into laughter, “My dear daughter it will take more than placing a hammer on me to….” She started coughing before she finished her words. Alyisha still needed more time to recover. Ka-Rin picked her head up and looked at X. There he stood with the translucent blade in his hand. He flicked it downward to free the last of Hezi’s blood off to it and slowly sheathed it. He was able to slay so many men, yet he is unscathed. What is he? That monstrous hammer was roughly two hundred pounds but he managed to split it as if it were a log. He really is a direct descendant of the Han Clan. Ka-Rin was in awe, she bowed her head and spoke to X. “Th
“What is your relationship to X? Where is he? Is he by himself.” Hezi glared at Alyisha. Hezi held her against the wall, hoping to intimidate her. He did not want to slay such a gorgeous lady. He slowly got closer to her and whispered in her ear, “If you choose to say nothing I will burn down this inn, and everyone in it including you.” Alyisha stood before him and started to laugh. “You, who came here with a little over two dozen men thinking that it will be enough? Even if you brought a thousand men, it would only hinder you.” Slap! Hezi could not handle what the woman said before him. Hezi was deeply angered. “I will kill you for insulting me and Lord Henderson! I wanted to keep you alive as a toy for my men but it seems that you longer have that luxury.” He threw Alyisha to the side as he reached for him war hammer. It was monstrous! The hammer itself weighted more than one hundred fifty pounds, it was casted of so
