Chapter 17. A Blessing
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56“You know if you’re joining the military, you can get the money and honour at the same time.” Sierra’s black eyes were so clear as she furrowed her eyebrows, trying to talk to the young boys in front of her.
“Soldier?” Gray echoed her word. “I never really think about that. What are the requirements, Miss?” He asked curiously.
“The most important part is bravery.”
Hearing this, Gray nodded his head as he evaluated his own bravery. Ever since he was a child, he already went into the forest to hunt with his master. After his master’s death, he hunted into the forest alone and even dared to go to the deepest part of it. He killed many small monsters too. So, for him, the word bravery was already rooted in his heart.
“The next thing is martial arts which you’ve learned for years.”
Hearing martial arts, Gray once again evaluated himself. Indeed, he had trained for years

Time flied so fast that it had already been a month since Sierra stayed at North Alania. The townsfolks had already noticed her presence in the town and they were really curious. However, they found it hard to communicate with her because of her cold personality. She usually would only nod her head as her greeting to the townsfolks.Also, she never started any conversation with them unless it’s necessary. Many people, especially men, were mesmerized by her beauty. They would swarm over the inn for hours only to look at her passing by, making Uncle Ten’s wife really delighted. They even had to hire another attendant because of the crowd.On the other hand, Sierra was certainly disturbed by them. And so, almost every day she would take out the foods and bring it to Gray’s house to eat. At least, there were only two persons here that would bother her. The last man that tried to stalk her ended up in trauma against fire, so the rest of the men here immedi

Sierra went into the same shop where she sold her rough diamond before. Upon entering it, the old man was excited and welcomed her, “Ah! What a perfect timing, Miss.” She nodded her head and sat down while crossing her legs.That old man walked behind the storage door and brought out a long box. “Just like your request, these are made from the finest quality.” Sierra opened it and inspected the things that she ordered a week before. Acknowledging it, Sierra placed a mini wallet full of coins for on the table. “Thank you, Miss. Please, do not hesitate to come to us again.” Said the old man while grabbing the coins and shaking it happily.Holding that light, wooden box, Sierra directly went back to The Pleasant Night. Right away, she was welcomed by numerous eyes of men and women. If she was being truthful, she had hated them to her bones already. Paying no attention to the curious stares, she directly went to the kitchen. After stayin

A month turned into two then three. Without realizing it, Sierra had stayed in North Alania for over than four months. All the attentions that she got started to go down bit by bit, meaning that Uncle Ten’s wife became disappointed. There were a couple of soldiers and merchants who flirted with her, only to be ignored coldly.She definitely didn’t have time to entertain some people, especially those who were younger than her by hundreds of years. The words of her being a master of Blessing also spread around, even reaching the neighbouring towns. There were some rich children who begged her to be their teacher. She only snorted as she always answered, “You’re mistaken. I’m not a master at all. If you have that much money, it’s better for you to go to the academy.”The rumours must happen after she unwillingly helped the city to maintain their array months ago. She did it half-heartedly since Gray and Leon bugged her too much. &

“Sierra! Sierra! Look!”Leon excitedly called for her name. She smiled faintly as she saw that he could gather a great amount of wind, making the leaves twirled in the air. Now, they had trained for six months. It amazed her how amazing their progresses were.“Don’t strain yourself,” she spoke shortly, trying hard not to praise the boys. She didn’t want to look too soft when teaching. Then, she turned her head away, staring at another boy who looked so confidence while meditating. Slowly, Sierra could see that Gray was summoning his power.It wasn’t stable, but at least he could make something out of his power. It appeared in thin air and a gold light started to turn into a ball. It was a hard thing to do, but for a month, Gray finally could create it into something. “Ohh! OH!!”However, the golden light quickly dispersed into nowhere. “You’re lack of concentration, kid.” She stated t

It was early in the morning and someone had knock into Gray’s door. With a yawn, he asked, “Who’s there?”“It’s me, Aunt Mila,” she spoke gently. Of course, Gray was familiar with this aunt. She was Leon’s nanny. “Aunt Mila! How are you?” He smiled widely as he welcomed the guest. However, the old lady didn’t take any step, staying at the door.“I’m fine,” she smiled faintly, “I’m here because young master is… sick. So, he can’t come here for the meantime. He hopes that you’d bring this matter to Lady Sierra too.”Gray blinked a couple of times. It was really unusual for Leon to absent because of sickness. He remembered when they were kids, even though Leon was sick, he would lie to come out and rest here. He said that no one would take care of him, so that’s why he crashed into Gray’s house every time he was sick.Still, he

“Sierra,” Gray called the other quickly. “What is it?” She didn’t even bother to turn her back as she walked to her inn. “Why don’t you see Leon’s mother?” He asked hesitantly, “Um… I know this is too much to ask, but this had happened before and after my master directly talked with her-“ “I’m not your master.” Sierra cut her coldly, frowning as she stared at the boy. “Also, Leon had made his choice to continue his father’s business, it makes sense if his mother mad at him for ignoring his study.” “… You know he didn’t make that choice,” Gray stared at his feet. “You said so yourself, that Leon’s path was decided by his parents not him.” Sierra rolled her eyes; she never realized that this boy had such a good memory. “Fine, I’ll change my words. I’m not staying here forever, so there’s no use of me intervening with someone’s family.” She didn’t want to continue this meaningless conversation and thus, quickly disappeared at alleyway.

The search went on and even people from neighbouring towns came to North Alania. Their only objective was to find the missing girl. Having no interest towards the case, Sierra only trained the boys every day.However, a week after that, another young girl went missing.At first, people didn’t pay much attention to it. Since the second girl came from a poor family, they could only ask for help from the mayor. Fortunately, being in the border meant that soldiers were stationed not too far from here.Mayor Charles needed to write a long letter to request an official investigation from the nearest army. He also sent another request to the capital.The second missing girl lived with her old mother; they said that nobody wanted to marry her as she was poor and ugly. The old lady would pray every day in the centre of the town, crying to the gods to help her poor baby.Sierra saw her on the third day and shook her head. No gods would help her for som

The crowds who were marching bravely a minute ago, now coward in place as a wall of fire surrounded them all. People was screaming as they had never seen such powers before.“Help!” A woman voice was heard, shrieking through the noises.“Mommy!” A man cried out loud, dropping his spear down.Sierra, the caster, didn’t seem disturbed at all as she glared at those rude townsfolks. Who told them to accuse her without any proof?!However, she suddenly felt a strong grip on her wrist. “What?” She asked nonchalantly.“Sierra, stop it,” Gray pleaded, “They’re afraid of it.”The silver hair woman saw that the heat made the boys’ forehead dripped with sweats. She glanced at the crowd, people were kneeling and hugging each other for fear of dying. At that moment, she knew when to stop.With a snap of her slender fingers, the fire was vanished - as if it never happened

While Gray and Zed had their sudden meeting with the strategist, Sierra purposefully stood outside the castle to wait for Xion. She was embarrassed, but somehow, she felt that she was supposed to do this and comfort the man. And she didn’t regret it. The moment she saw Xion, the other’s face beamed with relief and happiness. They hugged and kissed for a short time as Sierra rubbed his back. “You thought I was dead?” She tried to lighten up the situation a little. Xion snorted, “Yeah…” He paused as he stared at Sierra’s face, “But I think I’m stupid to think about it. You’re probably the strongest being ever, you know that, right?” His expression was tired, definitely lack of sleep, but his smile was bright; his voice showed a clear proudness. Sierra didn’t want to imagine what happened with this man while she’s gone for a moment. They talked for a moment while holding hands. Xion cleared his throat, “Hey, Sierra. I need to talk to you.” She titled her head, confusion was appeared o

“Gray!” Sierra grabbed Gray’s shoulder and squeezed it gently. The soldiers already started scattered around and broke the formations; even the mages couldn’t protect them from the monsters below.“Argh!” Someone got sucked below, and Sierra knew that person had already gone. Amidst the chaos, Sierra could feel a familiar power around them; just like the last time when she felt Gray’s True Blessing on the underground. And she finally understood, why the barrier around, that was summoned almost perfectly didn’t work.“It’s a True Blessing!” Sierra yelled as she kicked her leg from monster’s grab. “What?” Gray was confused. “It’s an Earth True Blessing. That’s why the barrier won’t work. It could pierce anything! We have to fall back!”Gray quickly understood and he screamed, “Fall back to the north gate!” The soldiers were relying the message to each other. Those who cherished their lives quickly abandoned the formation and ran. The earth kept trembling and people started to sway and f

“That idiot!” Sierra snapped at the news. “I can’t believe he reject it. I wonder what his mother said to him!”Nevertheless, the next day, they marched to the gate to retake the capital. It wasn’t a hard fight because for the first time ever, they won by numbers. The enemy also lacked their leaders so it was pretty easy to break into their defence and controlled the castle. Many of the soldiers were surrendering as they wanted to trade it with their lives.Gray nodded appreciatively as they surrendered. “It’s nice not to kill someone,” He grinned to Sierra at the main room.From that day, the they took back State of Etherna’s freedom. People in the capital were cheering as they were freed from the oppressions. However, Gray’s liberation army still couldn’t relax at all. They still had the north area to retake and Kingdom of Bealaris to attack. The north gate was still shut tight.Then, Walter advised that they took a break after the long, continues fights. They also had to reunite wi

“How’s the kid?” Sierra crossed her arms impatiently in front Gray’s bedroom. A healer just came out, and he nodded his head in delight. “Lady Sierra, you don’t have to worry about anything. Thanks to his Blessing, the explosion didn’t do much damage to his body. Right now, he’s just sleeping.”Hearing the news, Sierra huffed a relief breath. Then, she decided to let the kid rest and find Xion. Frankly speaking, she didn’t do much at this fight because her main task was to defend the fortress. That’s why, she was in a good condition and everyone relied on her more because she was the only general who still alive and in perfect condition.As far as she knew, Keith was passed out from massive blood loss. That’s why, she moved to find the other one. Thankfully, Xion didn’t hurt that bad. He was wrapped in bandages, but he was practically fine.Seeing Sierra’s presence in the yard made his cold face cracked into a warm expression. He waved at her, and Sierra also smiled softly. “How’s you

Everyone became aware how dangerous the situation was. Gray frowned and cold sweats already dripped down from his forehead. Sierra quickly took control, “Okay, kid. Don’t force yourself. You still have to fight at the frontline. Let us handle it.”Gray bit his bottom lip; but then he nodded. The mages were ready as they chanted the spell. “On three, just let your power go.”“One…”“Two…”“Three!”Gray’s let go of his Blessing, but the lightnings were still under control. “See? We’re good at what we’re doing.” Sierra smiled. Since the first wall of protection had fell, Gray quickly moved to join his own troops.“Lady Sierra,” Walter appeared behind her, nodding appreciatively, “You really level up your troops abilities.”Sierra snorted at the words, and she grabbed her bow. This time, she didn’t bother to hide the exquisite design of it, making the archers stared with envy. “It’s family heirloom,” She added awkwardly.“Archers! Prepare your arrow!”Thousand of arrows were prepared, poi

It had been six months since Don departed from the fortress. The good news was he never failed to bring back victories. And the bad news? There’re so much things going on inside the fortress; refugees, soldiers, volunteers, travellers, even merchants, all came to them since Sierra had lifted her maze spell.Now, the fortress became really lively with crowds. Sierra could only shake her heads from the noise. “You really hate people, huh?” Xion chuckled as they stood at the third floor, staring at the yard.Both of them just got back from separate missions and now, they decided to rest together. Hearing the statement, Sierra couldn’t help, but smile softly, “No, it’s not like that. This view somehow reminds me the last time I’m here.”She paused and her eyes wondered longingly. Xion just stared at her, savouring the beauty. “This place used to be like this too. Buzzling with merchants, and people… I just hope this will last; now that we’ve made our location known.”Xion smiled too; thes
Blessings of The Sun Chapter 70. Regarding Leon (3)
“Bring it on!!” Gray roared as he braced himself from the destruction. Leon grinned wickedly; he was waiting for this moment of showdown. The wind was growing stronger around them and the woods around started to be plucked up by the whirls.“Damn it!” Sierra cursed under her breath. It was getting harder to breath and open her eyes widely. “Gray!! Don’t!!” She could hear herself screaming at the kid. However, it was unclear whether the kid heard her or not.Thus, in that split second; when Leon unleashed his enhanced power, Sierra decided to call upon her own. She spread her arms wide and felt her fire brought to life. The wind still went strong, and now with the addition of big flames around.Gray sensed the power and then looked at her. Once again, Gray couldn’t help, but awe at the magnificent sight. No matter how many times he saw that big wrath of flame, he always amazed by her. Now, the snow was truly disappeared, melted down from the extreme heat.Sierra gritted her teeth; it’s
Blessings of The Sun Chapter 69. Regarding Leon (2)
“Sierra, you still look as pretty as ever,” Leon gazed at the woman and smiled tenderly. However, it couldn’t fool her. Leon had changed. Totally. Whether the compliment was sincere or not, she didn’t want to think about that.“Leon! Come with us! Quick!”“Gray, wait!” Sierra tried to snatch his collar, but he’s already running towards his ‘friend’. Gosh, she could see the way Gray’s eyes sparkled with excitements. This fool literary forgot everything they had taught him about awareness.But who could blame the kid? It’s been two years; not being able to see his childhood friend, with so many questions on his head about why were the reasons Leon left them that night.With only three, maybe two steps from Leon, suddenly a big wave of wind came around them and managed to knock Gray back until he hit the nearest tree. He was caught off guard; never in his life, he would imagine that Leon would hurt him with the intent to kill.“Stupid kid!” Xion cursed under his breath; with Don who pass

“What’s with this early meeting on snowy days?” Keith yawned as he sat down in the meeting room. Gray rubbed his eyes tiredly, “Don’t know. Walter just sent the servants to each of us.”Sierra, who wrapped in thick clothes commented too, “Judging that it’s only the four of us, I think he has special mission.”“Sharp as always, Lady Sierra!” Walter came in into the room right at the moment, while bringing a warm cup of coffee.“You look horrible,” Xion said to the strategist. The bags under Walter’s eyes were horribly dark and big; anyone would know that he didn’t get sleep. “Yeah, it’s winter time. I have to think further to spring, you know.”“Right, now tell us what’s with this morning arrangement?” Sierra cut to the chase.“Okay, apparently. I just found out that a strong warrior was captured months ago by Bealaris.” He started to explain, “Here. This town, West Land.”“Who’s the warrior?” Keith asked curiously; he might know one or two martial arts experts in this land.“His name
