I JUST smiled at him and moved quickly to fight his men. When I beat some of them, I ran towards the nearby wall and stepped on it to jump high. On my next attack, the blade of my sword pointed at them. Exactly stabbing one on the chest, I immediately withdrew it causing his blood to spread a little.
I grinned and again, turned to face the others who were determined to take my life tonight. Even though I could see the hesitation on their faces, they were relentlessly attacking me with their swords, which I never failed to dodge. I give them a counter attack whenever I have the chance, taking turns when evading their attacks. I also used my elbow, foot and my free fist to attack them so they can be beaten more easily.
Every time I strike the sword in a different direction it leaves a wound on the opponents. And in a few moments, I had knocked down half of their number. I paused for a moment to take a deep breath and rest for a little while.
"You fools! You cannot
Immediately my forehead furrowed and a shiver rumbled in my chest. I was almost deaf to what he said. It cannot be! Not my people!"You bastard! They have nothing to do with it so do not include them in your stupid plans!" My tongue trembles as my anger begins to burn. I cannot even think straight this time.How can I save them when I am here in the palace?! I know that almost all of them know how to fight but I do not know how many soldiers Henicio sent to ambush my people.He motioned to a soldier, who immediately approached him and handed him a piece of paper. "Do you know what was written on this piece of paper?" He even gestured to me as if I had not seen it in his hand.I just glared at him more and did not utter a single word. I was thinking of a way how I could get out of here to attend to my comrades."It contains my order to slay all the creatures in your fort," he said as if it was nothing to him. I turned to face the soldier who gave it
"W-WHAT do you mean?" His lips almost trembled as he uttered those words. "Pure lies are coming out of your mouth!" he insisted.I smirked. "You know what I am saying, Henicio."Her shock never fades away. Instead, it seemed to only increase because of my confirmation. Who can accept what I am saying now when our blood is boiling to each other. He must have denied to himself what he had found out. If only he had chosen not to listen to what I said, he would not have listened to it at all.And base form what I have see in him, I do not know whether he will receive the child of his son from me.However I do not care about that anymore because what I am saying is not true, that I am pregnant. Nothing more happened between Sevasti and me because every time we got there, he was the first to stop himself.I just want to trick this fool Hencio so that he will hesitate to kill me now. Earlier, I was ready to die but when that idea entered my mind I did not
Tears welled up in my eyes, the night he killed my father came back. How he stormed the palace of Kozania. How he killed everyone. And how he wanted to include me together with my father to face death.Is that why father died? He did all of that because of me? Am I the cause of all this?No! He did it so he is to blame! I do not have to blame myself just for what he did! He is the only one I should blame because he is a fool and.a worthless!He tried to touch my face but I immediately avoided him. "You have no right to touch me," I muttered.He laughed softly and brought his lips close to my ear. “What you are pregnant with cannot save you now because I have long decided to kill you. Goodbye, my dear princess."My dear princess? Fool!He walked away from me, set himself to kill me.But even before he could move the sword around my neck, a dagger hit it that made him release it from his grip and immediately be thrown away f
I SOON reached our fort fastly with the help of my speed. I confirmed that I was right when I saw that the soldiers were still there. Almost all of them were in the front part of our hideout so I again used my speed and headed to the back part of the area without them noticing. I did it in a hurried phase but still made sure to do it carefully. I picked up several arrows and a bow in the place where we put our weapons.I could barely hear any noise around. My comrades did not make any move because they knew that the enemies were on the advantage because of their number. And one more thing is it was late in the night so they were definitely not ready for their attack.I looked to the side when one of my female comrades, Layla, suddenly appeared. She also looked like she was hiding and wanted to take a weapon.I just shook my head to convey that she would not do anything that can harm her. I gestured to her what was in my hands to show what I wanted to do to the o
I turned to Adrina next who was helping to heal our injured comrades, she was with Dana. She is not using her power because there are other creatures now and I also know she is not completely healed yet so she is not trying. She would just drain her gathered strength with the rest she made in the last few days.From what I see of them all now, it seems like it just happened normally. Like it was so typical for them to face a dangerous situation like this. Indeed, we will be sad whenever we lose something but because we are warriors, we will once again go on with our lives as if nothing had happened. But we know in ourselves that grief will be left in our hearts once the battles are done.I suppressed the eruption of my emotions, making myself look strong. I cannot deny it that I am the reason why this happened today, why the soldiers rushed here. They did not even know the reason for the attack but I knew they had an idea that I was also involved in it because I arrive
AS SOON as the sun rose, I gathered my comrades in front of our fort. Everything is complete. Some are sitting on the ground, talking while others are looking at me with curious eyes.I averted my eyes. I was currently sitting on a large log in front of them, my elbows resting on my thighs where I just watched my hands clasped. I thought deeply, repeatedly asking myself if this was all right. Is it right for me to decide like this?But eventually I gasped and turned my gaze back to them. It is also for their sake so I would never hesitate. I stood up. Tre reason why I caught their attention.I gathered all the courage I could before I spoke, "I am setting you free," I uttered as firmly as I could. The truth is that I was hurt by what I have said but I will not take it back. I really want to set them free in this life of ours, because I do not want them to perish again. So that they can live freely in another place or better in another kingdom. And for their sake
THAT MORNING we had a little farewell party, and chatted until nightfall.We are currently sitting around a large fire, reliving all the memories, whether happy or sad. This was our last night in this place so we made the most out of it. I join in the conversation but oftenly, I just watch them. I will never get tired of doing this for a lifetime.I will never forget these people. Wherever I go after tonight, I will bury all the memories with them, the family I built.The others were chatting happily so I took this chance to leave without them noticing. I walked to the side of our fort, where no one could see me. I just sat on a large log and surveyed the trees around. Later on, I looked at the moon. It was not as bright as the other nights but it was still shining, looking gloomy as I was.I do not know how I would feel at the thought that this would be the last night I would be with them. I am sad but calm because I know everything will improve after th
I HAVE no difficulty carrying a large sack of fruit to the market in Ohayas, the town where I currently live. I come from the orchard where I work, bringing fruits to the market. This is also the job I chose because of my power, the unique inherent strength.I forgot to put this one sack on the cart I brought this morning to the market so now I just picked it up, letting it sit on my shoulder. Of all the things I can forget, it was this biggest sack! I smirked angrily, staring at the road. I have not really forgotten it, I know everything I brought before is complete. Frida just put it lastly to torture me. She is the young daughter of the owner of the plantation where the sack came from and I do not know why her blood is boiling on me even though I have not done anything to her. I do not even pay attention to her sometimes because it is not necessary.
