บททั้งหมดของ Magnus: Dragon Prince: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

“Surely she wasn’t serious?” asked Nessa looking at Pilk and then the dagger, “People will say anything to get out of dying.” “I get the feeling she didn’t try and get out of it” Rex said shrugging his shoulders. “Well, what’s the verdict then Prince?” Nessa asked Rex putting her hands on her hips. “I’m not sure, what’s everyone’s thoughts?” Replied Rex looking at the group. “All I know is that we need to move before the people that they were meeting realise something is off and come looking for them”, replied Nessa to the group. When she said this the rest of the group nodded in agreement and looked at Rex. “So, should we move the bodies or leave them here?” Rex asked pointing to the corpses, “If she is my cousin, we should at least burn the bodies. I remember Markus saying that it helps release the soul to move on, is important for royalty.” “How do we know she is telling the truth?” Lizz asked, “They did just capture you and did something to stop you communicating with Fafnir

“I have nothing to say to you” Rex replied in a harsh tone. “Oh, I think you’ll change your tune soon enough” Shaitan sneered hitting Rex in the forehead with the pommel of his sword, rendering him unconscious. With a swift command Shaitan’s soldiers grabbed Rex, bound him tightly and had him carried close behind Shaitan as he walked back up the hill toward his castle. Once Rex’s eyes came back into focus his eyes took in a sharp light from the window at his feet. Looking at his surroundings he was able to see he was lying in a nice bed. Another thing he noticed was the large lump that he was still sporting on his forehead, giving him quite a nice headache. “That will disappear in a day or two, do not worry. Had to make it look legit” Shaitan said from the chair in the corner of the room sporting the same smile he wore during their first meeting. Jumping at the sudden noise from behind him Rex said with a startle, “Holy shit, didn’t see you there. What do you…hang on, make what loo

Four hooded figures arrived on horses to the ruins Rex had been held captive in before his friends rescued him. The man leading the group stopped before a small fire, slid off his horse and looked down. “They were here, this fire and these tracks shows they made camp, at least a few days ago. Look around, I need to know where she is and where my guest is. Look around!” The hooded figure said as he leant over the fireplace, touching the coals and scanning the edges of the fire with his eyes. Immediately the other three companions nodded in unison, slid off theirs horses and fanned out in a search pattern. “I will find you” the man snarled looking at the tracks. Rex’s blurred vision had just finished clearing up and he noticed his companions, who were also tied up with him, started to awaken with groans and sighs as well. ‘At least they are ok, I wonder what happened to Teka.’ He said to himself with sadness. Last thing he could remember was attacking the guards that were about to ruin

Once they had arrived at the west gate, they readied themselves for a fight to escape, but to their surprise all the guards that were supposed to be at the gate were not present, allowing for Rex and his companions to leave without issue. Shortly after passing through the gate they could see Lizz, Charr and Nessa all standing next to 5 horses with worried looks on their faces. “They should be here by now, I bet that snake lied to us!” Nessa growled angrily casting her eyes back to the city, she was secretly worried something had happened to Rex and tried hiding it behind anger. “Worried about me are you?” Rex said with a broad smile once he had reached his friends. Once the three saw Rex arrive unhurt, they were all relieved, even Nessa much to Rex’s surprise, “Only because I want to kill you, I don’t want them to beat me to it” Nessa growled turning away trying to hide her smile. “Well, we should leave before we continue this happy joy moment” said Lacey with an exaggerated fake h

Once he had defeated Sampson and was heading towards Rex’s last known position, he caught up with his underling who was still also giving chase. “Master they are close to the border guard, if they get there it will be very tricky to retrieve him” the hooded man said bowing his head as he approached. “I’ve already thought about you idiot! Come with me, I have a new plan to get that bastard!” the man sneered with an evil grin. Coming up close to his underling, he put one palm on the head of his beast and the other on his underling’s beast, his eyes started to glow red before he called out, “Forward!” Feeling a sudden intake of energy, both beasts rocketed forward at lightning pace. They had overtaken Shaitan’s army and very soon Rex and his companions as well, “Do you mean to block their escape master?” the underling said as he noticed they did not target Rex’s group but instead continued forward. “I will give the guards at the border an offer they cannot refuse before Rex’s party ar
