“Here you go,” Xion suddenly handed Sierra two pieces of small candies. He just came back from a long travel, but his first thought was to find the woman and gave her this little gifts.“What is this?” She raised her eyebrows, clearly amused by this behaviour. “A candy from South City,” The handsome man shrugged as he watched the soldiers that were marching passed them.They had spent almost a month in Iris, helping the mayor to find more allies. After Xion came back to the city, it was Keith and Gray’s turn to depart to a small island east of Iris. Sierra was reluctant to let the kid go without her, but instead, Gray insisted to travel with Keith. He said that he needed to train with him.“They’re going to be fine,” Xion blurted out before he thought about it. “I mean, Keith can be annoying, but he is really responsible, especially knowing that you’ll burn him alive if something happened to Gray.”She snorted, unconsciously peeling off the paper that held the candy and stuffed it int

The next morning, they suddenly became a show for the villagers. From the bushes and trees, they could see people from various ages, mostly small kids, were peeping at them.“It must be their first-time seeing people from outside!” Gray stood behind the bars and he smiled gently to the curious kids. Sometimes, he even waved at them. The warriors nearby didn’t tell him to stop, so he felt happy.“Right,” Keith agreed, before he mumbled, “Geez, we left our bags at the tents, and now I’m starving.”“H-hey, when will you let us outside?” Keith called the warriors, “I’m freaking hungry!”“Keith, don’t embarrass us, dude,” Xion smacked his head from behind. Not long after that, suddenly a kid ran quickly to the cage. The warriors didn’t stop him because that kid came along with her grandmother.She shyly held a white rose and handed it to Sierra. “Miss, are you a goddess?”Sierra was startled, but didn’t have the heart to reject the rose. After taking it, she said to the little girl, “No, I

Time flied fast, and it had been more than a year since the capital had fallen. Gray’s resistance army got so many allies from various countries and towns. All of them agreed that the prince of Bealaris must have lost his mind and must not allowed to rule the world.After the army was announced, Gray became pretty famous in Iris and nearest towns. A 17 years old kid who brave enough to stand against Bealaris’ royal family. It was hard to prove himself to the other leaders, but thanks to Walter, they always managed to bring back more reliable allies. Sierra had to admit that Walter really brilliant. A once in a hundred-year type of man. When Bealaris made his move to attack villages, Walter somehow managed to predict it and he sent the army to the battlefield.Xion and Keith became the generals, along side Gray. On his small battle, Gray came back with blood and dirt, and he puked all the time at the sight of raw meats. It took months for him to finally accept the gore sight at the ba

“What’s with this early meeting on snowy days?” Keith yawned as he sat down in the meeting room. Gray rubbed his eyes tiredly, “Don’t know. Walter just sent the servants to each of us.”Sierra, who wrapped in thick clothes commented too, “Judging that it’s only the four of us, I think he has special mission.”“Sharp as always, Lady Sierra!” Walter came in into the room right at the moment, while bringing a warm cup of coffee.“You look horrible,” Xion said to the strategist. The bags under Walter’s eyes were horribly dark and big; anyone would know that he didn’t get sleep. “Yeah, it’s winter time. I have to think further to spring, you know.”“Right, now tell us what’s with this morning arrangement?” Sierra cut to the chase.“Okay, apparently. I just found out that a strong warrior was captured months ago by Bealaris.” He started to explain, “Here. This town, West Land.”“Who’s the warrior?” Keith asked curiously; he might know one or two martial arts experts in this land.“His name

“Bring it on!!” Gray roared as he braced himself from the destruction. Leon grinned wickedly; he was waiting for this moment of showdown. The wind was growing stronger around them and the woods around started to be plucked up by the whirls.“Damn it!” Sierra cursed under her breath. It was getting harder to breath and open her eyes widely. “Gray!! Don’t!!” She could hear herself screaming at the kid. However, it was unclear whether the kid heard her or not.Thus, in that split second; when Leon unleashed his enhanced power, Sierra decided to call upon her own. She spread her arms wide and felt her fire brought to life. The wind still went strong, and now with the addition of big flames around.Gray sensed the power and then looked at her. Once again, Gray couldn’t help, but awe at the magnificent sight. No matter how many times he saw that big wrath of flame, he always amazed by her. Now, the snow was truly disappeared, melted down from the extreme heat.Sierra gritted her teeth; it’s
