Talking down to a god of death? What was that supposed to mean? She had heard some stories about Chris but mostly brushed them under the rug. These soldiers of all sorts of backgrounds were willing to risk everything to support him. It was not even a full year since being in The Black Guard, yet he already commanded so much respect." Lady Cassandra, is this really ok?" Taelin had remained silent during the entire exchange. Afraid of upsetting Cassandra for his men's complete failure in scouting and security."Worse thing that could happen is Robert would send someone to collect them, maybe we'll really get lucky and they would get caught up in the battle." She shrugged. "The man seems to clearly want us dead so screw itNever in his life had Taelin heard anyone so openly mock the king without hesitation. Honestly speaking for some reason when he was near the group he was terrified of them. The aura that emanated from them rattled his nerves. Of course it wasn't a

About two hours had passed since the massive pillar of flames were seen sprouting into the sky. Even from the camp the smell was similar to one massive bonfire."My lady it would seem we have found Christopher Hayden and the other members of The Black Guard... They seem to be quite fine."Cassandra breathed a sigh of relief. "Good, maybe they had the chance to witness what the hell just happened.....With one look it was very clear the scout wanted to say something. "Don't hold back. If you think there is any other information I should know, let it out no need to be so reserved with me.""W-well this is pure speculation, but I'm almost positive that they were the cause of the giant explosion."..."That has to be wrong right?" asked one of the minor nobles."Are the fools trying to give away our position?" one demanded."Well sir, about that. I'm pretty certain them causing the explosion and giving out our position is irrelevan

"You bitch! What do you think you're doing!? Do you know who I am!?" A voice rang out through the camp.Christopher and Cassandra both frowned. While Chris was just worried about a fight breaking out, Cassandra recognized the voice of the man shouting just now. It was Heinrich.Already a large crowd was gathered around the voices. Take that back a large portion of men were surrounding Lord tons of fun and a silhouette not yet in view. many men were facing outward keeping a perimeter and another group surrounding someone with Heinrich, and his left hand man."You should be honored! Commoner trash like you would beg to accompany Lord Heinrich! He just asked you to go for a walk!""Now, now George. She is just a commoner perhaps she just is not aware of who I am? I am Lord Heinrich, Lord of Bigellia. Now would you care to accompany me? We could even go further then just a walk?""His domain couldn't possibly be as big as he is?""What did he say? Big

'I have never been so embarrassed ever! two days ago no one would dare to even whisper an insult behind my back out of fear. Now look at me? I have a pine cone up my ass! I have turned into one of the people I would take advantage of. The weak, my ancestor's would kill me themselves were they still alive to witness such a thing.' Heinrich was filled with self depreciation, the devil he now knew as Alayna saw to it there was no shred of pride left in him. Although last night she had kept one of my guards alive just to demonstrate what would happen if I did not listen. I didn't even know it was possible to physically rip someone's head off. The way she did it... Slow, painful, the man had been alive for about the first minute before she snapped his neck.'The thought sent chills down his spine. Heinrich could hear a thundering sound from the distance as he was lost in his thoughts. 'Oh great just to make the day better it's going to rain now.'After she had killed his guar

"You ok Taylor?" The werewolf Marcus ran through canceled her transformation and held onto her wound."I'll be fine, it's already healing.""Good. Go ahead and rest up for now." The girl groaned but did as she was told. Christopher looked towards Marcus. "Now that you're going to pay for." If there was anything Chris hated it was seeing close friends in pain of any kind.Marcus refused to look away. This kid may not look it, but he was terrifying."You know kid it would probably be better if we both just went our separate ways, one of us may die." Smiled Marcus."You make it sound like I could be in danger? Don't worry I assure you I will make your death as painless as possible."'Well isn't he just confident. Not exactly comforting.'"Well then, Lets get to it." Marcus swung his sword. "Just what is that going to hi-" Christopher frowned mid sentence and leaned his head backward. Marcus pumped magic into his blade mid swing and and it exte
