************************************** TYNDALE'S SANCTUM*************************************“I mean, you came here to take me back to Royal Republic, but you're still here three weeks later. You never know, you could wake up one morning and discover we've disappeared again.”“Well...the vurhans and the peasants were the sole reasons I stayed. Despite the fact that they are as foolish and obnoxious as you, they needed to be safeguarded. And I'll continue to aid people as long as I'm a state guard with the authority to do so.“... If you know what's good for you, you better stop hanging around us.”“Listen. The only thing I despise, aside from you, are individuals who detest themselves for no reason, which you are doing right now, which makes me despise you even more. Basically, that's a lot of hatred, but you know what I'm getting at.”He stared into the cup and muttered, "It's horrible."“I know, I don't enjoy it when people make fun of themselves, and...”“No, I'm talking about y

At that time it was obvious who amongst the army would reach the final showdown, it was always Alvatrone and Slejj. Everybody knew that. Going into the competition those who registered only did so to fill in the vacancies in order for the tournament to proceed, meanwhile the entire army awaited for the final showdown. The two rivals had been going at each other ever since they joined the army. At that moment they were seen as equals, and the tournament was to be the deciding factor, a final face-off to finally rank one above the other. They did not anticipate what was to come of the event.Registering last was a slacker, the laziest of men amongst the army ranks, Honorary State Guard Garvin Nez. Nobody knew why he was interested in the tournament since he was never interested in anything at all, except food and sleep. Some even questioned how he got the honorary State Guard rank in the first place. All in all, he was called out, his match against another knight guard was to be the ope

OUTSIDE THE WALLS"Okay it's done, the king is down. Dakario does your thing." Anato said.Dakario locked his eyes once more, summoning his inner voice that the vurhans listen to. Immediately he surmised his brief meditation the vurhans started shrieking at the top of their lungs. Their shouts echoed throughout the city. Lights flickered on as the residents were awoken by the terrifying howls. At the gates, the soldiers grew ill at ease and commenced an attack towards the army of undead Knights."Alright everybody hurdle up, it's about time we joined in on the fun," Anato said to the others.IN THE CASTLEIt felt like time had refrigerated. Alicia watched, in horror, as Drom plunged to the floor, Daito standing beside him with the blood-stained dagger still under his grasp. The quiet buzzing in her ear grew into a high-pitched noise, as the room erupted into chaos. The delegates approached the two intruders with the intent to kill. Lora also stood beside Alicia dazed in a similar tran

Daito obeyed. The blue rings faded away and he slowly began charging towards the crowd. Alvatrone stayed behind to watch. As he descended the slope, gravity accelerated his locomotion. He took flight a few feet close to the charging group, cutting across the atmosphere with a flaring dropkick. The guards put up a barrier of shields but he just charged through it, breaking the wooden shields like they were pieces of paper.The absolute force of the impact discarded the back row of the line of defense like rag dolls, they tumbled across the ground licking grass and covering their bodies with a fresh blanket of mud. Those that we're able to recover from the first blow did so, charging towards Daito with their spearheads and sword tips pointed at him. The first to engage swung his blade momentously, aiming for his neck.It was as if he phased from one place to the other. The guard blinked and before he knew it, Daito had already evaded his attack and was standing behind him. His neck was

"Look, kid, what do you think will happen when you return to Royal Republic? What will people think of you? The dark bender who ran away because he was too afraid to face his responsibilities. You are one half of the duo who is supposed to lead the entire nation, and do you think people will respect you, a coward? No one will take orders from a frail man who runs away from his responsibility. Look, kid, I'm already a traitor, or so people say, and my return to Royal Republic is going to end in one way or another with execution, so if I can't help you right now, I might as well go down preserving your reputation.""... That's stupid. You know I'm never going to agree to that..."Slejj re-lit his pipe and inhaled the energizing smoke, "When the time comes, you'll see that I'm making sense, and you'll make the proper choice," he said as he blew a ring of smoke into the air and watched it dissipate.Daito paused for a moment, moving his gaze away from the book for a time to comprehend Sle
