We continued traveling to the rendezvous point, even with the rain. I realized that whenever we were getting nearer, the rain is becoming heavier. The clouds above where so dark, that even if it was still afternoon it looked like early in the evening.We were now passing carefully at the edge of a mountain pass. On both our sides were steep mountain sides. When we entered the pass the rain was just a drizzle, but when we were traveling on the pass itself, the rain poured heavily. 'If I have known that this rain will fall like this, I would have opted not to take the mountain pass.' I thought to myself.We chose to use this mountain pass because it had cut off our travel time by far, rather than using the road that goes around the mountain. The weather was clear when we started on our journey, and when we entered the mountain pass the rain was but a drizzle that is not something to be alarmed of. Who would have thought that the weather would change drastically just after an hour or so
We moved in haste towards the rendezvous area. The sun had just set when we arrived, and what greeted us was utter devastation.We have selected our rendezvous area to be in an inconspicuous location, therefore we selected a location away from public eye. We chose an area by the borders of Avalon and Wales where there will be no civilians with prying eyes. But I never imagined that even with our careful planning, Fiona’s group was still able to find us.The location fortunately was desolate, in the heart of the forest. But the battle that was ensuing before my eyes have left the trees in the vicinity to be devastated. The battle before my eyes was not of that normal humans would have, it was a magical one. Spartans versus Spartans are engaging in battle, using their magic against each other. "Men, our comrades are in danger!" I yelled.Without any second thought I jumped down from shadow and joined the battle that was ensuing. Fiona’s men were as equal in fighting abilities as my men
I heard a pretty loud roar of the thunder and looked up at the dark sky, many flashes of light and roars of thunder can be seen and heard. Then light flashed all around, indicating that lightning was clearly about to strike. I can feel the hair all over my body stand up in attention. My body was telling me that I was in the line of danger. "FIRE ARMOR!" I quickly put on my fire armor and used my fire to fly away from where I was standing. And like my instinct has told me, the lightning had struck the ground from where I was standing. "I too can play that game." I heard Darius said with fury in his eyes. In just a second, I can see his whole body was enveloped in electric current, his long hair was now standing up from his head. And with just a blink of an eye, he was gone from where he was standing. 'Where is he?' My eyes darted from left to right, feeling that an attack was coming. It was at the last second when I looked up and saw Darius charging downwards towards me. "Ahhhh!!
I saw blood trickle down on the side of Cyril’s mouth. Shock and despair was all that I can feel right now. "Thank you for this." Luna had a sinister grin on her face. She pushed Cyril and he fell unto the ground with a thud. I can feel blood rush towards my head, feeling the anger building up. I grip my broken sword firmly and hurled it right towards Luna’s head. Before it hit her, a wall of water blocked the way. "Your highness…" Luna looked at Darius with dreamy eyes that made me want to puke. "Luna, come here." Darius ordered. With his order, Luna moved swiftly to Darius' side. She instantly gave him the two key fragments. "You have done well, Luna ." Darius said while looking at the key fragments. "I am afraid that I cannot play with you any longer king of Avalon. I will bid you farewell." Luna made a hand gesture and strong wind started to envelope their bodies. They started to float on air and towards the sky. Both of them flew away, with fast speed. If I used my f
Avatar landed on a clearing near where we were. I quickly ran towards their direction. Once I arrive I see Kyler and Philip who I was expecting to meet, but I saw another one that I was surprised to see. It was none other than Luna’s brother, Lucas.As I remember, we were able to capture these siblings in the battle of Euphrates Canal. Luna was the only one that was able to escape captivity, and her brother Lucas was left. "We greet your majesty, the king of Avalon." The three knelt down at my presence. "Rise." I replied. My eyes did not leave Lucas, looking at him curiously. He also kept kneeling, while Philip and Kyler stood up after my words. "What is this person doing here?" My question was aimed at Kyler. "Your majesty, please give me the chance to explain." Lucas was the one that replied.My blood was still burning with fury after what his sister did to Cyril, but I kept my composure. "Before you speak, I would like to inform you that your sister was here not long ago." I s
After the battle with Darius' I let my men rest and set up camp in a more safe place. It was well past midnight but sleep evaded me. Many thoughts have been running inside my head that I cannot rest easily. I gave up sleeping and went out of my tent to reorganize my thoughts. When I stepped out, I saw Kyler sitting quietly by my tent entrance. "Your majesty." Kyler bowed and greeted me. "Why are you not resting Kyler ?" I asked. "You have traveled without stopping. I am sure you are also fatigued." "I cannot just let his majesty rest without someone guarding your tent." Kyler said with a solemn voice. I remember ordering all my men to sleep and rest to restore enough energy for the trip back to the city of Vienna. I have rejected them having to take turns guarding me, since I know all of them are fatigued after the battle with Darius' men. Some of them are also injured and wounded, and unfortunately some also lost their lives in the fight. "How about you, your majesty? Don't you
[Ragnar’s POV]Once day broke, my men and I prepared for our departure. Victor who was hurt in the fight yesterday was now in full vigor after I healed him. Others who were also injured seriously was healed with the help of my white magic. I tried to persuade them to rest and leave the fight to those that are still in full capacity, but they were adamant and refused to be left out in the fight that could be the last battle with Fiona and her men. "Good morning, your majesty." Victor greeted me. "Captain Kyler has given me orders to send word to the lycan leader Mulan." I bowed as a reply to his greeting. "Yes." I replied. "I will need you to make a detour before returning to Vienna . Take some men with you and give this letter to the lycan leader Mulan. Tell them that I sent you." "I heed your orders." Victor bowed. "How are you feeling?" I asked in genuine worry. "I am quite all right now, thanks to your white magic your majesty." Victor replied. "You know that I have excused y
(In a mansion somewhere in the east coast of Wales) "Are you sure about this?" A short stout man that looked like a noble was looking afraid. "What if you do not succeed and I was implicated in aiding you?" "Do not worry baron. I assure you that we will win in this war." High Priest Haden said with a confident smile.The baron shivered seeing Haden smile. He seemed like a demon under the disguise of an angel. "And with this amount of magic stones in your disposal, you can defend yourself even if the royal army came." High Priest Haden said. "And after we win this war, we will keep our promise to you. You will be given the title of archduke and be given dominion of all Wales. The nobles that have looked down on you will be at your mercy, you can do as you please with them. The royal family that turned a blind eye towards you will be kicked off from their place. Well if you want, you can take the eldest princess as your mistress after you make her a widow. I heard she is quite a bea
