**Katrienair's POV**
As I sat at the table to read, I pondered on how my life has been. Like a soap opera, it's been too incredible to be true. It's my first day as an army of this kingdom, this world rather. How do I feel? My feelings is blank. Still unsure about some things. Questions like :Am I doing the right thing? Is this my destiny? The man in green light once told me that we choose our destiny, I'm scared my choice have made a wrong destiny for me.
It's okay to be scared, isn't it? Our lives can't be perfect and mine doesnt have to be. I'm reading cause i need to know the people I'm fighting before starting a fight. I was close to the end of the book when I heard a voice over my head.
“Good job Katrienair. ” it was a familiar voice.
“Joel? ” I gasped. “you scared me”
His face darkened.
What again? My subconscious questioned.
“Julian or your Majes
"Shut up you punk!" a guard yelled. "Did you not ?! Did you not barge into the kings property uninvited?!" "All i wanted was a chance!" he yelled back, his pleading eyes facing me." All i wanted was a chance to join the legion!" I was impressed by his guts. A slave wants to be a legion member, he's definitely not a demon, a slave anyways. "The training ground is only for the invited and the qualified." came a gruff voice. A warrior stepped into the circle, looking ageless, broad and stock with a bald head and long beard and a scar looking like a tatoo below his right eye. He looked like he's been a professional soldier all his life. He bent a little on seeing me. The young by looked like
Kabal, Kabal, that's he's name. Now, I can't see through his mind. I don't know exactly why but I feel like I should watch him at least throughout today's training.***Kabal sat at the wooden table working away with the bow and arrow laid in pieces. Beside him, Dalaine, his new patner alongside with other new recruits of the legion sat. They were all hunched over their weapons, hard at working on carving the bows and tightening the strings. According to their trainer, “a warrior who knows how to strng his bow is sure of a good fight. Your sting determines whether your arrow wouldh hit its target or not. Weapons break in battle, break on jouney, you must know how to repair them within a inch of a second. The greatest warrior is the greatest blacksmith, cobbler, carpenter, mender of all broken things"The trainer, a young knight, walked through the rows of boys, leaning over, examining each one's work. " If you can't repair your weapon, you ar
That night, after a warm bath, I slumped on my bed to sleep only to discover I was laying on flesh. I knew who it was already, Emiliar, she was beaming at me, thought I got scared.~~My love, how long have you been here?~~ I sent to her. It's really been a long time since I used my gifts to speak to anyone except Luna anyway, cause that's the only way I can speak to her afterall."Commander Claudia in a white nightie, How you doing?" She said with all sarcasm in her voice. I bit my lip, a weak chuckle escaped from my lips. " you punk, that isn't funny, not worth a darn clap"" You not hungry? Let's get something to eat."I sent for a maid and in no time our meal was served.After eating, we sat on the cushion to talk. My head on her lap, she was gently stoking my hair. Luna sat on the edge of the chair licking my toes. That girl, I feel guilty sometimes, I barely have time for her nowadays. Life can't be any good without these two by my side." Ho
After training that day, I invited Kabal over to my inner resting room to talk-- I had some questions for him. The little boy I rescued some weeks ago, now looks like a warrior.He's skilled and swift, that piqued my interest and now I'm ready to listen to him."Good day sire" he curtsized "you sent for me""Sit" he sat on a stool a distance away. "Tell me about you---I mean how you got here.""I'm honored sire" he bowed. " i got here as a slave when the demons took over our part of the white coven. They were able to get break our shield, cause they got the key. Some of us were killed, my uncle, the king and my father was killed. Though, i was still a toddler but my mother told me all i know about that day. We were forced to take the mark sire.""You mean you're a witch" I never expected demons to be so naive... to the extent of harbouring witches, thinking enslaving them would make them quit fighting. Apparently, that has worked but not to all of them
“EVERYONE FREEZE! LEAVE HER!”Slowly, they eased away from me. It's him —Julian. What the hell is he doing here? I searched around remembering Luna —then I saw her at his feet. Our gaze meet and she came running to me. Naughty girl, she went to call for help— but why Julian? I stood up from the cold ground. The demons bowed as he moved closer and I flushed with embarrassment. He held my hand and raised it.“she is your leader!” he yelled. “she's Commander Claudia, the new army head.”They all fell on their faces. One of them, looking like a leader spoke. “oh milady, we are very sorry. We never knew it was you. We've been locked down here all our lives. We've heard a lot about you but we've never me
We sat on horses at the entrance of the castle. The king commanded a grand entry like it was a very important person visiting. Julian's cousin, how important is he? There are a lot of family ties I still do not know of in this territory. One of which is the one king's nephew who the almighty devil takes so important. Julian being the only child of this same almighty, the owner of thousand mistresses, is still a shock to me. I heard rumours once that he kills his mistresses once they take in, how cruel? It's too bad to be true but if it is, then I think I know why he would do that. The smart king wants to protect the seat for himself, his own family line only. He doesn't want rivalry between brother or betrayal due to jealousy. He's really a wise father. He must have been through hell while Julian was gone. Maybe not...I can't say.Our visitors arrived, hundreds of horses and horsemen adorned with weapons of all sort. Their leader, I suppose the cousin, shook hands with us. He
“ There are many ways the southern province can be attacked, some soldiers would be sent as spies into the territory. The night before the way, others will stay at the four gates. I'll lead north, Julian south and you will go to the castle, Claudia, to face the king yourself. I hear you have all the powers in the world. By the way it's the king's order.” Raleigh said.We were having a meeting in my study. The training rooms were too occupied so we had to have it here in my chamber.“you will inform the soldiers Raleigh and prepare them. Thank goodness your here. I and Claudia would prepare the legion—make all weapons ready.”Julian added. This meeting isn't making sense to me.“ Besides all the soldiers should be out. I hear your father has a very strong army too.” I addressed Raleigh. “Every warrior in this castle should be at war, even those at the dungeon. Some of which would be at the walls of the castle
It's quite amazing that Julian took all that happened that night seriously. He saw the both of us walk out of the hall. We didn't get the chance to say anything because the king's messenger interrupted. Though, I'm still very curious and also glad that Julian got really ioo9 jealous. After a stress filled day at work, I forced my eyelids shut but sleep was really far away from me. I had a lot on my mind and I was expecting someone. Emiliar, that witch promised to always be there for me. Where the hell is she now?! But I'm also happy she isn't here because right now I'm finding it hard to sleep, thinking of him. His stare, his smell, his taste, his touch, I just can't think straight. I feel like I've gotten myself into something I can't deal with.I heard a knock on my door, it was Raleigh. What could have brought him to my chamber this late today in the night? I remembered the look on Jul
