Captive IVThird Person’s POVThe commotion the shook the middle of the mountain finally abated, but the traces of sword marks and blood laid waste to the originally peaceful and lush environment that even the small beasts and animals did that were living in the vicinity did not dare to go back due to the strong smell of blood. General Markus sat next to Priestess Eva’s sleeping figure while listening to Jared’s recount of what transpired on the pathway up to the temple. His mind wandered as volatile and violent emotions boiled in his heart, but General Markus merely stayed seated peacefully next to his mate. After hearing about what happened to the Blood Wolves clan from Asha and Soran’s mouths, the hatred General Markus has for the Royal ark clan is no smaller than what the two feels. The lingering pain in his heart that seemed to be similar to being hollowed out still haunts him in his sleep, and General Markus knows that such pain is what his mate had experienced before her de

Torture Third Person’s POV The sky is bright blue and the clouds are playfully scattered like tufts of solid smoke bumping and melding into each other. The soft breeze passing through the opened window of the carriage gently caressed Asha’s face as she leaned on the carriage’s wall with dazed expression while looking at the passing sceneries. The wide filed of green grass and the towering walls of rocks and boulders with the intermittent appearance of a wild beast entered her eyes as she relished in the calmness and peace of this moment. “Why are you looking out in a daze? Did you see something interesting?” Samel’s magnetic and low voice punctured the bubble of silence that surrounded Asha’s figure. She blinked her eyes with surprise in them before coming back to her senses. Asha felt helpless at herself. She has been blanking out and staring into space once she is alone, and it is not due to anything else but the solemn silence that brings a different king of peace that allows he

Torture IIIThird Person’s POVThe next morning, with the red blood land and gurgling hot air accompanied by the burning sun, the red plateau is a place of dryness and sparse green trees. There are few rivers, and most of them are on the shallow level due to the seemingly draught-like days, and most of the wild beasts lives underground at day before hunting in the night to escape from the heat that is growing day by day with the approach of summer. Hot steam could be seen spurting out of the few hollowed holes around the barren red land, and no living thing dared to get close to such a place that is similar to a volcano erupting once in four hours in a single day.A carriage protected by a dozen death soldiers on horseback entered the red plateau in a covert manner as they took the longer and rough road to go to the Moon view temple from the direction of the Artemia Kingdom. The personal aide that was instructed by King Regor is currently sitting inside the only carriage while sipp

Torture VThird Person’s POVThe first floor of the city lord manor is vast, and the hallways are like a small version of a garden maze with all the twists and turns that might make anyone who is not familiar with the place dizzy and lost. Butler Sam was ordered by their young lord to accompany the distinguished general from the Fressia Kingdom to the underground dungeon of the manor. He thought of the newly added captives in the execution dungeon that has been barely used in the past. Those individuals must have been insidious werewolves for their young lord to let Captain Ross lead them to that dungeon. The underground dungeon is barely used because there are few werewolves who would commit a heinous crime in the city of rogues that deserves such a treatment to be prisoned inside it. So, even Butler Sam felt curious at the crimes that those over fifteen individuals committed. Butler Sam regained his senses from his thoughts after turning to a desolate hallway that leads to a d

Pain IIThird Person’s POVAt the same day of Princess Regina suffering in the hands of General Markus, the personal advisor of King Regor, Tren successfully devised a plan to infiltrate the Moon view temple with the use of the death soldiers as his chess pieces. No one will care about the life and death of a death soldier, and it is even more so for Tren who has long thrown his conscience since he had the ability to think for himself. So his plan is to completely use half of the death soldiers in his hand to make some explosion happen in the Moon view temple. Explosives are banned to the normal citizens, but those from the royal family and the army could use it as they please. Tren was delighted that he has the foresight to bring a lot of materials before setting off, and he managed to pack two bundles of explosives which is just enough for what he wants to do. And although it is not his style to make some noise in dealing with his missions, the time is tight and the king is alre
