Chapter: Chapter Twenty-four Gary looked from man to woman, then to Alstin. He must be joking, he thought to himself, which parents, how? When?. "He said you are feeling much better now," said the woman, as she walked into the room where he was. "Yes, I am," he replied, still waiting for more explanation from Alstin. "Dad, Mum, meet my friend and brother Gary," said Alstin gesturing to his parents, ignoring Gary's sign to explain. "We have heard a lot about you, and we would like to thank you for saving our son and standing by him," said the man. "It's no big deal, sir," replied Gary. "We would leave you two now, we need to settle some major issues," said the man as he turned to leave the room. "Will join you soon Dad," said Alstin, "Take your time, you have a lot to catch up with," said the woman, she patted his shoulder and left with her husband. Gary looked at Alstin with keen eyes, indicating to start talking. "I know you want me to explain, but still," said Alstin, going to sit close to Gary."But

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-three"Alstin," called out Gary.His voice was so weak that you would barely hear him, he had been in a coma for five days now. "Hey buddy, you are alive," said Alstin."Are those tears I see?" Asked Gary, trying to put up a smile on his face. "Come on," said Alstin, as he blinked to stop the tears from dropping, still they rolled down his cheeks. He hugged his friend, sobbing on his chest."I thought you were gone, it has been lonely here without you, brother," said Alstin amidst tears. "I am here now, not going any time soon, brother," said Gary. "I missed you," he said. "I couldn't feel anything then, and I still can't feel anything now, but I did miss you, brother," Gary replied. "So brother, huh?" Asked Alstin, "Yea, brothers," replied Gary, he nudged him. Austin helped him sit up, and that was when he noticed his environment. It was a big room, fully furnished with a velvet rug, the walls were painted and some carvings were on the walls. The bed was so comfortable, the shee

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-two"Ancestors of our land, according to your teaching and rules, we have brought these offenders before you, they are being charged with treason, may their souls be scorched from entering the ancestral land and may they be caged in between worlds forever, never to return to any forever." Said Cayla in a loud voice. She had her hands raised as she faced the four pillars at the execution ground, which according to their tradition was the gateway to offenders' souls. The ladies were still chanting, they stood five at each pillar facing each other. "Tie them to the pillars, let the consecration begin," said Cayla. They tied Mira and her accomplice to the pillars as they were surrounded by the crowd.Mira screamed out in great pain and anguish, as it dawned on her that she would be stuck in-between worlds."This is my fate, and I accept it," whispered her accomplice with great difficulty, as exhaustion had warned him. "If you are not comfortable with the sight, you can turn around," said

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-oneThe courtroom was thrown into confusion at the break of the news. Cayla allowed them, they had every reason to be scared, who had not heard of the Dark Knight and his triumph in war, she was shaken by the news. After some minutes, she stood up and waved her hand in an attempt to stop the murmuring, the courtroom went silent. "We are here to pass judgement on these two," she said looking in the direction of a man and a woman bound by chains in their hands and legs, with a guard each to their side."As we all know, Mira of the house of Gazene has not only brought shame to her family but also this great city as she has been charged with treason against this land," she said in a loud voice filled with authority. "As the great leader of this city, according to our rules I sentence Mira and her accomplice from Nivithikos to death by the scorching of the frengard," she continued. The two of them looked at each other, they didn't look terrified, they didn't know what was coming. "You ca

Chapter: Chapter TwentyThe dawn of the day meant nothing to him again, ever since he joined them on their search for himself, he no longer counts the day, he had lost track of time and maybe faith.He stretched himself and yawned, rubbing his eyes to adjust them to the rays of sunlight flooding into them.What does today hold, he thought to himself?His friend lay beside him, still snoring, he looked around as his eyes were now accustomed to the light, every other person was up. "Hey," he said as he tapped his friend on the leg to wake up."What?" Slurred Gary in his sleep, "Wake up, lazy ass," replied Alstin, shaking him till he could no longer stand it, he hit his legs so hard, his palm stung. "What the hell! I am up now," yelled Gary, as he opened his eyes. "Ouch," he squinted as the rays of sunlight flooded into his eyes."Come on, we need to catch up with them," said Alstin."Why do we need to go with them, if they have left us then it is a good thing, we can find our way," said Gary, in a bid to g

Chapter: Chapter Nineteen The horse whined loudly out of pain and refused to move, as it had an injury in the leg where it fell down on the hills.The man who mounted the horse came down after a lot of struggle with the horse. At least I am close, he thought to himself.He looked around frantically, but no one was following him. He ran and walked hurriedly through the streets of Nivithikos, his eyes dashing from side to side. The city has become the most powerful kingdom all over the land, due to their wins in battles and the land they have conquered, they remain undefeated. The city stood tall above a hill, looked small on the outside but so big on the inside, that was where the dark knight resides. The streets were rid of beggars and clean, guard positions at strategic places, the people moved around their normal business, and they had no reason to be scared. The man walked and got to the end of the street, took a turn to the left and there he stood in front of a mighty castle, walls made of marbles, ir
