“Lidon?” Maryan’s voice came out of the shed.Without intending to, Lidon actually looked back at her. She was confused about what he was doing but she made no sign to stop him. In fact, her soft expression suggested that she approved of whatever he was about to do. Lidon immediately looked back at the man in front of him in case the guerilla leader got funny ideas such as escaping while Lidon had his eyes somewhere but the man was still as a stone and was breathing profusely for Lidon didn’t notice that he had actually placed the blade deep and that few droplets of blood where already dripping. He was about to apologize just for the sake of his honor but he suddenly smelled danger.He felt ten shadows about to pounce on him.Lidon noticed it when he turned his head earlier. The guerillas weren’t wearing any cloaks so Lidon saw their stances based on their feet and hand positions. Lidon stepped back and jumped, on the exact time that the ten guerillas launched their attack. They met i

Jin was dreaming of heaven.He wasn’t actually sure if he was just dreaming or he was really in heaven already. If that was the case, that wasn’t good news. He would have died as a laughingstock, just like the giantess said. If he died from falling, his chief would be shaking his head, wondering why he ever bothered to adopt him as a brother. He risked his life to enter into enemy territory, was able to gather valuable intel, and not being able to report back was worse than a failure.He was in a sleeping position but he couldn’t feel a bed or anything that he was laying on. Everything around him was white. It reminded him of the time when he contacted Raeya in the middle of her fight against the Shadows. He wished he could do more there at that time but he was too far away to be in physical touch with her. That white surrounding was a specialty of the Rigiddin clan. They could access one door out of the thousand doors of the Shore. That plane was a spiritual void where those with roy

Maryan should have expected it.From the moment that she realized Lidon’s true identity when they met at camp, she should have already imagined the scene. And while she was at it, she should have prepared herself. But what did she do?She relaxed in his presence. She actually believed that she could change his view of Hearth, his supposed-to-be enemy. When she thought hard about it, Maryan thought it was the perfect set-up to invite a strong man to know more about them. Why not? Lidon, or Jin Quohora, was from the other side and if the Shore was really a pair of destiny, then it was not a coincidence that they met–two members from both sides. Knowledge and truth was what enticed Maryan to be a part of Hearth. She had hoped that it would be the same for him.Maryan planned to lead Jin into the truth. He was supposed to succumb to her deception. Although she knew that it would not be easy, she didn’t expect it to be that hard. And everything happened in reverse. She was supposed to make

Raius Rigiddin walked the last fence just to make sure.For all the battles that he had been, a siege wasn’t really his favorite. He would rather meet his enemies on the open field rather than be stuck here in the Rokohorta castle in defense. This small battle will continue on for longer as they dwindle the forces of the enemy bit by bit daily and he never liked it when an enemy such as Hearth is delaying the outcome whether they will become victors or losers. The uncoordinated attacks, the no-plan small raids, the prolonged fights suggested that they were just putting up a font. Hearth ws buying time but for what?Which was why he ordered some of the Rokohorta ladies to look around the fortress. Somehow, maybe Hearth was digging or trying to enter somewhere else while they were unaware. The thought that maybe the Rigiddin village is under attack also came to mind and that was why he never called his men for back-up. They had one conjurer locked up there so it was possible that they w

Sitting all throughout the mission and being forced to remain in the dark made Ryder realize that he was an impatient man.“Don’t go with Aegis,” Sir Vance ordered him a month ago. Sir Vance pulled Ryder out of the meeting and dragged him to his office, insisting that he had a different mission than the rest. Ryder didn’t expect that not doing anything was actually a mission. Although this wasn’t the first time that he was ordered such. When he was a trainee at Aegis, he was given the task to capture a robber who was hiding in an inn in Veynstown. The man had a hostage and Ryder was ordered not to do anything. The hostage back then looked like she was about to pass out from what was happening and Ryder really wanted to rush in if only they gave him the go signal but Fhae was strict in her word. She even threatened that if ever he will do anything rash, he will never qualify as a fighter of Aegis. So Ryder did as he was told and did nothing but watch the hostage scream for help for ho
