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.
"Casias!" he said with a nervous tone of voice.I would have ignored that but I could feel the fear in his voice. It also caught my attention because Matias' name sounded like the name he mentioned.I slowly turned around to look there. Rowan scrambled out of the store to confront the one he called, the man who led the group. My forehead furrowed when I saw the man violently grab Rowan's clothes to bring it closer to him. The latter looked very scared."Did you think I did not know you had not paid your rent on this seat this month?!" he said in a very serious tone with his ever so deep voice. I can clearly hear and see everything because I am not far from them.Rowan's fear was further heightened by what the gentleman had said.
"ARE YOU underestimating me? Are you underestimating me?" Said Vivi repeatedly. He landed on the far side of the fruit basket while watching what I was doing."Vivi," I muttered. I turned to him and looked at him sharply. Sometimes this bird is really annoying. Could he not forget what the foolish Casias said earlier.When he stopped I looked at Rowan for a moment before continuing what I was doing, picking up fruits and utensils because of the mess that had happened earlier. I noticed that he seemed irritated by what the bird was saying.I sighed as I put the last piece of apple in its basket. Thankfully, it had not been too bruised from its fall earlier. His trembling hands grabbed my attention. Probably still scared to this day."A
THE NEXT day, I had only a small amount of fruit to take to the market, so I stopped using the cart. I let out a sigh of relief before effortlessly lifting the sack and placing it on my shoulder.“I heard you helped Rowan yesterday at the market when Casias harassed her,” Frida said next to me. She is the one who takes care and lists the number of fruits in the sack so she is now in the orchard.I turned to face her. I would never really pay attention to her but because she is talking to me, I have to answer her. Otherwise, she will be annoyed with me again and I may come back here for another sack of fruit."Yes, Frida," I answered sparingly.She raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms. "It is a good thing I ordered you to bring a sack of fruit there at that time. If not for me, Rowan would have been doomed," she said with an arrogant air in her voice. I just nodded in agreement.I also have no intention of opposing her because it will
