Sierra abruptly jumped off from the carriage as she didn’t quite hear the whole conversation. The words that went through her ears were mayor, North Alania, and killed.
The woman cleared her throat first before sharing the news excitedly. “In North Alania! The mayor was killed by a young boy! They said that ugh- what was it, stabbed on the heart!”
“Who is the killer’s name?” Sierra didn’t realize that her voice already trembling with uneasiness. The woman tried to think and she replied embarrassingly, “I don’t remember it. They said that he’s an orphan. Anyway, he’s going to be executed-“
“Miss! What are you doing?!”
Sierra, in a speed of light, had quickly untied on a horse and jumped unto it. Before she went away, she threw a small bag of coins to the owner, “I’m buying your horse.”

With her quick reflex, Sierra grabbed Leon’s shirt and pulled him to hide behind her back. Then, in the following seconds, a wall of fire was made to block the soldiers. “AHH!! Hot!! So hot!!”“Follow me now!”Sierra then forcefully dragged the boy to hide again between the dark alley; ignoring some familiar faces who were dead already. After she made sure that they’re safe, she spoke annoyedly, “Great, now they know someone’s fighting back.” Of course, Sierra grumbled only in a little voice as she felt nervous for the other stupid boy. It’s been a long time since her stomached ached so bad. Now that Leon’s here, she only needed to find Gray.“Sierra!” Leon abruptly hugged her strongly. Taking a deep breath, she wondered why so many people hugged her tonight. However, for this boy, Sierra tapped her back softly, as if she wanted to calm the other.“Where’s Gray?&rdqu

“PUT OUT THAT DAMN FIRE, YOU USELESS FOOLS!!”“Yes, Prince!”Some soldiers who had Water Blessings, summoned their powers, but like before, nothing could pass the wall of fire. “What the hell?” The Prince furrowed his eyebrows unhappily. Behind the curtain of flame, Sierra managed to walk in seamlessly and tap Gray’s shoulder.“Stupid, kid,” she whispered as she knelt down to make an eye contact. Gray’s eyes went bigger as he couldn’t believe his sight, “Am I in heaven now?” He spoke hoarsely.“No, you don’t.” With a quick move, Gray was freed from all the binds at the execution platform. When they ready to move, Sierra suddenly stopped herself and stared at her fire. Looked like someone was able to put down her power in a terrifying rate. It had been a long time since this happened to her. With a calm move, she stood in front of the kid and prepared her bow.

When the three of them managed to go out of the town’s gate, Gray took a quick glance behind. His home was already gone. Fire was raging, dead people with their eyes opened wide…How could things turn into this?!“Gray! We don’t have time!” Sierra snapped impatiently, which was a pretty rare situation. They ran towards the woods, tried to blend in with the surroundings. At some point, the bad soldiers were coming out from the town with horses. They wanted to hunt the three survivors.Sierra annoyedly looked behind as an arrow whoosh passed her shoulder. “That damn bastards!”“Gray!” She looked at the boy with hazel eyes. “Use your power to block it or we’re going to have holes in our back!”“Wha- I can’t!” He answered panickily, but at the same time, relief as an arrow flied passed his body. “Yes, you can, Gray!” Leon also roared behind him, panti

“Where’s Gray?”Leon finally sat down in the small room that Sierra rented. It felt like the heavy luggage that he carried was gone. Sierra stared at him intently, as if she wanted to scan the younger boy. His face was dirty, and he was thinner than the last time she saw him.“I don’t know. You’re the second one to arrive after me.”Hearing that, Leon furrowed his eyebrows, “He’s going to be fine, right?”Sierra didn’t answer and shrugged her shoulders, “We still have two days left. If he doesn’t arrive, I’ll go out to search for him.”Leon nodded his head and started to play with his fingers. “Leon, what’s wrong?”It was silence for a long time until he hoarsely spoke, “I- I don’t know what happen to my family.”“That night, it happened too fast. I couldn’t sneak pass the soldiers. I was too afraid

The other man was a handsome, tall man. He was young, maybe not that different with Leon’s age. However, his force was really strong; choking the boy to the wall without any mercy.“Come on, Xion! That’s a little kid!”The muscular man, who appeared drunk a minute ago, now seemed sober and aware. At that moment, Leon understood that he fell into their traps. They might be the soldiers who massacred his family! The man called Xion didn’t loosen his grip, instead he answered back coldly, “Well, Keith. At this age and time, you would never know what a kid capable of.”“Oh, man! Do you think they born from war era?! See! He’s turning blue!”The man called Xion didn’t hear his companion words. With a serious face, he asked to the kid he pinned, “You. Why are you following us? Do you know s-“Before he could finish his words, an arrow flied to his head in a fast speed. That tall man was really fast, jumping backward to separate himself from Leon. Both of the men pulled their swords, cutting

“S-sorry?” Keith clearly caught off guard; he was sure he spoke in a really quiet voice, almost none in fact, since he was trained to do that for years. Also, for some reasons, his back started to sweat with his lips getting dried.“Sierra!!” Gray stood out from his bed, standing in front of the lady and held her hands. She was different from the time they spent their time together; another side that new to him and Leon. However, he could understand it. They hadn’t had easy nights these past weeks.“They’re nice guys. You have to trust me, okay? There’s time when I’m in danger, but they save me over and over again.”“Why would you be in danger?” Sierra snorted. She was sure no stupid soldiers crawled alive from her hell that night.“Because we-uh, entered a wrong cave?” Gray smiled stupidly, scratching his head as he looked at tallest man in the room, “What was that

“I’m fine with it, seriously,” Gray told Sierra in the most cheerful tone. Since the discussion almost turned into fist fight, Gray asked the men to step outside for a bit while he explained the whole things to Sierra and Leon. Xion didn’t like it, but Keith, with his bloody face, pushed his friend out from the room.“And I’m not stupid,” he continued, “I’m not doing it for free. They-uh… they said they can clear my name in the state’s court.”“Wow, really?!” Leon went excited, “Sierra, it means good, right?”“How come you’re so sure about that?” She crossed her arms, eyes narrowed judgingly. “Haven’t you learnt your lesson back then? Do I need to remind you?” She didn’t stop, and shot her words like a venom, “Gray, I seriously expect something better than to foolishly trust two strangers.”The boys were used to hear her scolding, but this time… for some reasons, her words really cut deep into their bones; even Leon felt like he almost cried, he wondered what about his friend next to
Blessings of The Sun Chapter 48. Nice Hospitality (1)
Great. Just great. Xion wanted to travel fast, took rest only if necessary, but now? He had to scrap those plans.He felt like he’s walking with a band of weird people. Two underage kids, his weird friend, and one woman with temper issues. The next day, they departed right away to the state and he firmly stated, “Follow us both closely. If you were left behind,” then he made sure to stare at Sierra and Leon, “We don’t give a damn, alright?”In his side, Keith nudged him strongly, “Man, that’s harsh.”“Shut up.”Sierra rolled her eyes lazily, her bow on her back and she ready to go. Gray and Leon couldn’t hide their excitement as this was their first time to travel to the State of Etherna. They took off early in the morning, with steady pace on this ‘great mission’ of the mercenaries.In the woods, Leon asked the men, “How long we’re going on foot?”

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
