2020-12-25 14:59:10"One day I promise I'll tell you everything if you wish to know." After Christopher told her this she looked very sad until he noticed her expression and added " It's not that I don't trust you but Some things need to be taken care of before I give you answers. You're one of the few remaining people in this world that I trust."
She smiled at these words, her hesitation now gone.
"Ok I'll help you, but promise me that you will come back home once you're done.... Come back to me ok." It took him only a minute before he cued in on what she meant.
"I promise I will." He leaned in and kissed her on the cheek and smiling at her gently.
"Well Alright, do you have a plan?" Reluctant to let the moment end. Even with all the risk she was about to commit to, she had a big smile.
"Hey now, you're not trying to put the moves on my back up girl number four are you!?" An all to familiar voice called out.

"You mean to tell me it has already been almost two full days since the Princess disappeared and no one has been able to find her? Even now still not a single clue?" Although the voice sounded calm and composed if one listened close enough you could hear a tremble in it."Yes Father, unfortunately being none of our soldiers know what she looks like yet and very few nobles have ever met her." Answered another man. Unlike the first man speaking this man anyone could hear the fear in his voice, almost as if he was a pin drop from his voice going shrill.These men and few others were gathered in a Great hall that was lined wall to wall with the very best of antiques, and paintings. Massive towering pillars Engraved with gold and silver intertwining, although silver was not a highly sought valuable. The mix gave the engravings a beauty rarely seen. The two men speaking were the most powerful and influential people of this nation. It was King Robert Velan, and Prince Halbert

"Aaaah man I gotta say this feels great! I don't know how much longer I could stand being cooped up at that damn school full of stiff nobles!""Thomas, you are a noble..""I refuse!" It almost looked as if he was striking a triumphant pose while denying the truth.'I don't really think its something you get to refuse' Chris thought to himself. Either way Chris couldn't help but to enjoy the atmosphere, he loved his home and having Elise in his life but absolutely hated the city Abael. But when honestly it didn't seem to matter where he went, bad memories seemed to accompany him. Although there was still good ones, but thinking about them hurt just as much some times."The breeze up here does feel amazing though doesn't it?" Elise smiled. She was in the passenger seat of a wagon that was loaded up with crates. Chris and Thomas were both posted up top of the crates, they were on their way to the eastern gate of the city part of a small convoy consisting of

Getting past the checkpoint went quick for their group. Having the men hired by Angela speed it up exponentially. Having done this dozens of times they had everything prepared come their turn. The group bid farewell to the guards. Everyone happily told their stories, their feats on the battlefield, their family life, their love lives, although they were mercenaries they were all quite friendly. Christopher and the others were surprised to find out that two of them had been soldiers that were discharged from the army. The thing that really stood out was they had actually been enemies. One from the empire, one from the Kingdom of Albrael. Apparently they even fought in some of the same battles. When you looked at their interactions though, you would have thought they were family or long time best friends. The fact they were able to get along so well and not hold grudges showed quite a bit about their character.After a few hours on the road they pulled the wagons off to the sid

Everyone grabbed their weapons and began to move towards Christopher, but Thomas moved in front of them holding up his hands blocking their path."Your honor is bull shit!" A small smile began to spread over his face. " Many people called me a monster over the years but I can say this much, if I am a monster just know it was your people that set me on the path to becoming one. Do me a favor and remember one thing. I hate your people, don't give me a reason to end your life and those of your friends.""Hayden, you good?" Thomas asked over his shoulder. As if a haze was lifted from Christopher his narrowed eyes opened wide and he saw the pale terrified look on Sarah's face, his hand still around her throat which he could feel her trembling underneath his grip. He blinked his eyes a few times as they dart around in almost every direction. Slowly he began releasing his grip on her."I- I am sorry." He muttered under his breath and began to walk away into the w

Six years ago"Chris hurry and wake your ass up already. You have to go cut some wood today. After you get up see if your mother needs anything and grab your lunch." Jeff, Christopher's father called out kicking his door wide open."Yes father." Chris mumbled. He lazily rolled out of his bed standing half dead looking. Jeff honestly wasn't really sure that Christopher's shoulders and form could possibly slouch or sag more then they currently were."I'm coming.." Chris mumbled as he walked towards the door with his eyes half closed. Jeff could only shake his head as he walked out of Christopher's room. Moments after leaving a loud WOMP could be heard coming from the kitchen. Jeff didn't even bother to look back, he was already used to this. Who he called zombie Chris had just walked face first into the wall next to the doorway."Trish every day I spend around that boy I'm beginning to lean more towards you had an affair at some point.

When Christopher and Brianna arrived at the lake they continued to talk about plans for the festival as Chris began his work chopping down a tree and cutting it up into fire wood. Around noon He took a lunch break sharing the Freshly baked rolls and his lunch with Brianna."So I never asked you before, but since you have decided to court me I suppose it's something I should ask you. Are you going to be like the rest of the boys in our village and intend to join the military and become knights? The way I've seen you fight you're probably the only one who would stand a chance." She asked him with a slight smile."Hey now who said I intend to court you?" Brianna stopped and put a hand on her hip and just stared at him. " Ok so maybe that is the goal, that was supposed to be secret Honestly though I don't really have an interest in joining the military. I was thinking ill either learn more from my father and do smithing, or I guess I'm pretty good with numbers from what I

"Please sir, W- What could we have possibly done to deserve this?" A man could be heard begging."It's quite simple you were born in this useless kingdom." A man responded in an arrogant voice. 'This useless kingdom?' Chris thought to himself. He risked a quick peak and was shocked at what he saw. All of the men were armored, but what really caught his attention was many of the men were holding the banner of the Eternal Empire. 'What the hell!?' He knew The Eternal Empire and the Kingdom had been walking on egg shells for a while. But There had been no declaration of war, he also knew for a fact it wasn't like their village had been hostile or attacked anyone. What could we have possibly done to deserve this."Please please let us go and you can help yourselves to anything you want.""I'm growing tired of listening to this sniveling, go ahead and kill all the men." The leader ordered. Without hesitation the soldiers moved into position raising their weapons, the

While Christopher was extremely relieved that Brianna had escaped he could not let his guard down yet. There was multiple times he had to duck or hide somewhere as the soldiers ransacked their village. He would pass houses and could hear things being smashed, or the soldiers getting excited about something they had found. It wasn't long until he reached his home only to discover that it was empty. Filled with fear and panic he looked around the house only to discover that there was no signs of a struggle, no blood, most of all no bodies. Christopher was both happy and terrified. It is always the things we do not know that we fear the most."Well come on then you god damn cowards!" Christopher could hear his fathers voice accompanied by weapons clashing. Chris ran outside, his mother was being shielded by his father who was holding his sword out front of him. There was already the bodies of five soldiers around him, although anyone could see he was beginning to tire and had mu

"They used siege magic on the rear line?" Alexis asked with a furrowed brow. "Why would they expend so much magic on the rear line?" To Alexis this didn't make any sense. If they were using it as an opener to an attack from the rear, it would definitely be justifiable. Have your men rush in taking advantage of the destroyed lines and chaos. But using siege magic alone and backing off, would be like someone taking a shotgun to kill a spider inside their own house. Beyond overkill. If they had struck the center of their lines, their commanders, or even their supply train, Alexis could understand the expenditure. Most magic users could fling spells they specialized in for a majority of the day. But siege magic? The average mage could use it four times in one day, but be severely weakened for the next couple of days. Sure they could use siege magic again the next day, but each day without a proper recovery time the power of the attack would be cut in half. "Well sir it seems the rear l

Inside Helenfel. "Right here." Cassandra pointed at a section of her map sprawled out on the table. "This will be the perfect place." Andrea walked around the table to stand next to Cassandra looking down on the map. "Hmmm good call. When they emerge here they'll be in a bottleneck." "That's not all. They'll be coming around a corner too. They wont be able to see our army waiting for them until it's too late. We'll also have archers along the cliff tops. that can shoot down on them." "Why not have our archers continue firing down on them the entire stretch? That's miles of cliff ledge we could use to thin them out." Garrett asked retracing the path on the Albrael army was taking. "Because we don't want to give away our archers. The reason we've barely had our men harass them the past day was leading up to this moment. Most of all we don't want them to double back, leaving the kill zone we've set up." "Isn't there a chance they sent men to the top of the cliffs too though?" "We

Multiple days had passed in the City Of Darkness following the surrender/purge of any still resisting dissidents. And life had begun returning to normal little by little after the bodies were removed from the streets. Havoc's army had upheld their orders. Those who surrendered were allowed to return home without any recourse for fighting against their new host. Neither the members of The Black Guard, nor their militia counter parts caused any unnecessary damage, nor did they loot and pillage the city. Frankly apart from the angered nobles who's homes had been bombarded during the siege, the city was peaceful and upbeat. The stalls were open, any artisans were back to their crafts. The children ran and played in the now cleaned streets that had been soaked in blood not long ago. Guards were posted on every wall and street corner. Christopher and the other leaders involved weren't fools. Though they had been merciful, eventually there would be some who would try fighting back. They e

Just a little earlier"This is big! This is really big!" Brisia grinned ear to ear as she paced back and forth hardly able to contain her excitement. Her little walk even leading her up the walls and onto the ceiling dancing, and skipping, somehow defying gravity."Shit! Shit Shit!" Alesia growled through grit teeth. "I knew something was coming, but even I never imagined this!" Alesia's current mood was about as close to polar opposite of Brisia's as it could get. 'This is the last thing we need currently! If they find out, especially in the middle of this war, we're seriously fucked! Like fucked on the level I was when all the other gods betrayed me and had me cast from the heavens! Perhaps even more fucked!'"I still can't believe it! I mean I suppose when you look at his track record it would make sense, but holy shit!" Brisia exclaimed.

"E-Elise if you think you can do better, by all means t-take over!" He snapped back.Thunk! Thunk!"Well look Riggy.. I don't mean to be pushy... BUT PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO FUCKING KILL US!" Elise roared flapping her arms up and down like they were wings.Fwee!As though on cue an arrow zipped between their faces, mere millimeters from giving Mortis a nose piercing he didn't wish for....."S-See not that bad.." He stood his ground glaring back at Elise who could only return his gaze with wild eyed disbelief.Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!

Christopher walked to the giant hole in the wall he had created when trying to incinerate Markous looking out over the city breathing a heavy sigh, hanging his head low and shaking it. "What's wrong? At this rate the city is as good as yours? Shouldn't you be happy?" Brisia asked walking up the wall before hanging upside down looking out of the hole too. "See your people are already working on the third gate. Isn't this what you wished for?" "I'll admit.. I wasn't expecting to get that old bastard's approval, but this didn't pan out as I had hoped." He shrugged watching balls of fire rain down upon the noble district from the trebuchets outside the city. "Sooo you didn't want the city?" "Pftt I could give two shits less about the city. I wanted the power that dwelled down here. On that note I suppose you could say this was a success.

"HAHAHA JUSTICE SHALL BE DELIVERED!" Vale cried out as though she were a poor soul who had been denied justice by the courts for far too long.BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!The ground erupted all around both the twins and the behemoth of a Vampire. The girls quickly turned their backs to one another taken by surprise, readying themselves as best they could considering their injuries. Their eyes caught a glimpse of a creature emerging from the earth, and it was almost instant. The pair blinked and by the time their eyes opened the massive beings were already hovering well above their heads."You've got to be shitting me." Lala mumbled."If she could do this, It would've been nice of her to have done something sooner." Laura huffed her arm dangling limp by her side.Though still on edge the twins felt they could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The pair took several steps back returning behind their friendly lines.

RAAAWR! A roar ripped through the caverns as the ground beneath their feet began to shake violently. Many people from both sides of the battle looked around trying to find what kind of ferocious beast could emit such a blood curdling sound. "I haven't heard a roar like that in thousands of years." "I've never heard that kind ever!" Their eyes scanned the surroundings. Looking side to side, up around the cavern ceiling, only to find nothing. The monstrous sound was far to loud for anyone to mistakenly assume they had just imagined it. The rumbling earth began shaking harder and harder although you couldn't physically see any movement, the people could feel the movements underneath their feet from whatever was coming, like a slithering serpent snaking it's way through the grass. It felt as though the very earth beneath their feet may collapse at any moment. If anyone in the vicinity were to claim the gods were angered and unleashing their fury on the city, many wouldn't doubt the w

This day and age when someone says an army they think professional soldiers, fighting and killing is their bread and butter, it's what they train for, it's what they're paid for. Their job consists of nothing besides honing those skills. Training and searching for a way to improve upon the ability to kill, to take the life of another human being. But there's times where an army consists of ordinary people, every day people. Bakers, smiths, teachers, sometimes even the students, people you who have never seen combat, mix these people in with some trained soldiers who're willing to advise and educate these people, and at times these armies can be just as dangerous as the professional ones. When you have a reason to fight, whether it's for a better life, to protect someone, to make a name, for your country, even if for a moment it places you at odds with it, you can become a force that's mighty. With no identifying uniform, the enemy will never know when they're about to strike. A man,
