Shadow was flabbergasted. She’d never viewed them to be this… dark.‘Damn. so savage.’Suddenly, Shadow had no ability to talk. These beautiful girls had talked about burning the corpses to destroy the evidence of their misdeed in a casual manner. Shadow wasn’t that heartless.‘Must I learn from them?’She wondered alone.“Don’t you dare learn any of that from them, daughter!” Ibrahim’s voice snapped her back to reality. Suppressing the arising curse that was just at the tip of his tongue.Shadow smiled and raised both of her hands promptly. “Chill.”“I can’t be chill. I know you’re too well.” He narrowed his eyes.Shadow submissively nodded her head and changed the topic because she had a better thing to do than argue with her father.“We’ll hurry as soon as you finish with your ceremony. Juvi, Miley, work together and burn the corpses together. Their ashes will be scattered into the river.”“Roger that.”“As you wish, Lord Holiness.”&&They resumed their journey after Shadow and Ju
“Like an assassin?” Miley’s eyes sparkled.“Similar.” Shadow agreed. “Now, wake up. You need to give them a ride and wait for them until they finish.” Shadow stroked Hide and Falcon.{Okay.}Hide stretched his body while Falcon yawned. They were forced to rest for this very purpose anyway.“Don’t worry. You still can feel their weight. So, there’s no will be accident where you accidentally forgot about them. If you don’t feel their bodies, stop and let them come back to you.”Shadow was seriously talking to the falcons and gave sincere guidelines to make sure everything went smoothly. These birds would be the assurance. They would be her little spies to understand and measure the geography of the enemy’s area and building.After preparing for a while, the two falcons took off while carrying the two invisible birds on their bodies. One small bird on each of their bodies.“Now, we’ll wait.” Shadow looked around. “I think we can stop here.”&&At the same time, inside the Safani dungeon.
The next morning, they moved faster than before. They had a few dozen more even before they could enter the city.It took them a few more hours.“I am afraid we will have to stop here.” Shadow raised her hand and jumped down Double’s back mid-running. Shrrrrrk!Doubled made a sudden stop resulting in Hide and Falcon, who slept on his back, being flown to the ground.Puk!{Aw!}{Kergh!}They were rudely awakened by Doubled unintentionally.{Ops! Sorry, guys.}Double apologetically nuzzled their wings.Falcon and Hide were helped by Double. He nibbled the wings gently and slightly raised his head approximately until the falcons stood with their two legs.Chirp, chirp.At the same time, the small birds were rejoicing on top of their heads.The birds had been flying anxiously right after waking up due to the anxiety that attacked them whenever they were conscious of a bunch of predators’ presence around them.All of Shadow’s pets were carnivores so, their anxiety was extremely taken into
“... alright.” Shadow rose. “The outer layer matches up with what the little birds showed me.” She beckoned the two birds that escaped her shoulders at the same time the King brought her closer.The birds were flying in the sky, in a circle, waiting for Shadow to take notice of them.King, Fast, and Ambush were staring at them as if they were worthless.“Introducing your new companions. Please make them your acquaintance.”In other words, any toxic thoughts either verbal, physical, or mental wouldn’t be tolerated. They’d to be protected until the end of their life span. Facing a natural death.{What about their offspring?}{Can we eat them?}Ambush and Fast saw the loopholes somehow. Their long-forgotten fear came yet again. The two birds hid behind Shadow. {What did I say? They are evil.}{True. We shouldn’t agree.}They started to complain.{We ain’t procreate.}{Enough fear for both of us. It ends with us.}They were terrified.Shadow sighed and suddenly had a headache.“Stop fig
All of them were looking in the same direction. They were looking toward the stove of legends or the so-called fire of legends. They couldn’t get closer due to the safety restriction given by the soldiers and knights, but they could feel the heat miles away and the tall pillar of fire shot up toward the sky.“The fire… the fire has magically appeared.”“Ho– how…?”“The legend… the legend…”The murmurs rose in the sky, eyes fixated on the magical fire. It looked beautiful yet dreadful. Furthermore, it had only one symbol.“Chaos…”“The symbol of chaos!!!”“Our queen. Our queen…”As if being hit at the back, the citizens snapped their necks at the confused soldiers and knights who were working their hardest to control the chaotic situation.One of the citizens grabbed the soldier’s collar and shouted angrily.“The Queen. Find the queen!”“We need to see the queen.”“The legend!”“We need her help!!!”Miley unintentionally gasped, and her jaw dropped.Shadow scoffed. “You’re welcome.”Mi
Nathan and Ibrahim along with two birds, two bees went to the assigned place where they could create another chaos for diversion. Leaving Shadow Ali, Juviana and Miley.She had two destroyers and a lookout. Amongst all, Ali had the utmost important job. His single reaction could change the entire game at once. A lookout seemed trivial, many overlooked their merit. Shadow called that post as Hawk to emphasize the importance of the task.“I trust you.” Shadow cracked her neck.Ali pointed at the rest of the bees that he had. Shadow glanced at them. “One for me?”“Sure.” Ali gestured the chosen bee to Shadow and the rest of them to two elves. “Any communication can be through my babies.”“So practical.” Shadow snickered. She tapped her shoulder at the bee. “Hope you stick next to me always.”The bee obediently landed on her shoulder.The other bees proceeded to hide around Juviana and Miley. After every bee had settled comfortably, the elves glimpsed at Shadow.“You may go. Remember.
Juviana and Miley stood in front of the gate while camouflaging. Their natural power made it possible for them to be one with nature. It was the specialty of the elves. The only difference was the level of their power. Juviana was in her eighth circle while Miley was in her seventh circle. Their affinity with nature was exceedingly high. Therefore, it shouldn’t be a problem to camouflage their bodies with nature. The two of them stood in front of the main gate of the Abandoned Estate, watching the mansion blankly. Miley was the one who broke the silence. “Truce.” “... truce.” Juviana had to agree. The job was more important than their fiasco. The job was directly ordered by Shadow, and she didn’t want to disappoint her benefactor. So, she must do anything to make sure that Shadow’s plan moves smoothly. Clap! “Let’s get started.” Miley clapped her hands and cracked her neck a few times. Juviana extended both of her hands to the front while Miley created a massive axe. The str
“... Let's see how strong you are.”Ibrahim said nothing. He gawked at the bear, silently judging the bear under his hoodie.The bear’s anger rose simultaneously when the mysterious man in front of him said nothing. “Enough talking. Come at me!”Although he said that, the bear started to charge forward instead of waiting. With the spear that he took from somewhere else, he was aiming directly for Ibrahim. With an obscure smile, Ibrahim waited for the spear to come at him.As soon as the edge of the spear was within his perimeter, he easily shook it off by redirecting the tip of the spear to the other side.As the bear tilted to his side, Ibrahim went forward in one strike before he was in front of the bear in only a millisecond.Whoosh!He swung his dagger at the bear’s spear, slamming it down, and used his free fist to knock his jaw.Zzup! Tap!The bear was already dodging the fist and ran to the other side. His face was colored with shock.‘This mysterious man is strong. If I don’t
