บททั้งหมดของ Sword of the Godslayer: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

The sound of galloping horses pounded into Minos' ear like war drums on a battlefield. It took him to a place he had been trying to forget, from a time he wished he was never a part of. He looked around and he saw an endless column of mounted warriors, with their lances and shields, charging across a bloodied wasteland. Something tugged on his left arm and as he looked, he found it tightly holding the reins of his war-horse. Something heavy weighed on his right arm and realized it was grasping onto a wooden spear. Panic rose to his throat and he tried pulling on the horse, signaling it to stop, but the mass of war-horses and riders surrounding them pushed further and further forward.      He saw the enemy vanguard up ahead, bracing for their charge. His panic turned to fear and as he looked down at his right hand again: his spear was now gone. He reached for his chest, an

"What the- what is this?" Minos yelled. He looked over to Rei, whose hands were now holding on to the handle of the sword hanging on his belt.     "Hold it." Cassana snapped. A faint yellow light now emanates from the gem. A floating luminous circle, humming and riddled with runes, was hovering above it. The same identical circle was also wrapped around Rei's right arm. As Cassana pulled the staff lower, the circle around Rei became tighter.     "A sorcerer!" Minos, again stating the obvious.     "I prefer wizard." Cassana answered.     "Whatever. It makes sense now, why you know so much... You from The Tower?"     "Of course. Unranked."     "Really? For how long?"     "Five years."     "Five years? You're not a very good wizard then."     Cassana moved the staff lo

Mind your footsteps. Cassana heard her mother's voice one more time. She and her mother would argue a lot when she was younger. It's the middle of the day, everybody's awake! That's the excuse she always gave. But since her death, her voice had gained a different kind of power in her consciousness. She disappointed her mother when she was alive, she couldn't bear to disappoint her still now that she's gone.      Cassana complied to the voice and tiptoed her way across the corridor. She reached outside her room and glanced left and right before carefully opening the door.      As soon as she closed the door behind her, she felt Otheric's arm wrap around her waist. He pressed her body against the wooden door and planted his lips against hers. Cassana returned in kind. He pla

Cassana reached the inn and noticed Ashvell's wagon parked on the stables. Outside, she saw Ashvell, Robb and her Uncle Euric sitting around, talking, and hanging out. They waved at her as she entered the building.     It was quiet and empty inside. She immediately went to the cellar downstairs and pulled one of the shelves out, revealing a much bigger room hidden behind. It was filled with papers and scrolls, documents and books. She picked a crate and started randomly filling it with anything she could find that looked interesting. She remembered how bad she was with Languages, it simply wasn't her forte. She remembered almost failing in every other test. That was one thing her father didn't pass onto her.     What if she couldn't do it? What if she couldn't decipher the inscription? Would they just let them go? She hardly thought so. No, she had seen things. Even if she couldn't figure out what they want with an ancient weapon, it was

 Minos and Rei found themselves back on the road, still tugging on their horses instead of riding them. Though they were walking the other direction, facing away from the village, with the sun halfway through the sky behind them.     After getting no result from the girl from the inn, Minos came up with another plan to get what he wanted. He met with Duke Owen's son, confident to get more information about Cassana and her family. The inn, and in fact the whole village, sat on land owned by the duke, and he seemed to know her very well. If earlier, he was on the fence whether the red-head was lying or not, he was then close to certain that she indeed was. I'll squeeze the truth out of her, he swore to himself, by any means necessary.     "It's the perfect plan!" he kept saying to Rei, which the hoo
