“Of course I do. Do you think I havent considered the outcome! I am well prepared for what is to come if it fails. But now Im not so sure if you are.” “The chances of failure far outweigh the chances of success, and even if we succeed the victory will be bitter sweet, you know that. You know one of us is going to end up really hurt, or worse.” Lora walked closer to him and rested her hand on his shoulder. He was still watching the fold of slaves working their lives away. “This is my plan Jrue, if it fails I'm ready to face the consequences on my own. Trust me on this.” “What about the other prisoners?” “Leave them to me. I will find a way to convince them. All you need to worry about is setting up the stage, do things right on your side and I’ll do things right on mine and I promise there's nothing that will go wrong, promise!” “Okay. On the next moon, Ladzgery Tyndale will not be able to use his soul magic. That is the day we begin the coup d'etat.” SALS VILLAGE IN DISTRIC

The chains were released and tossed away by the guard. To relieve the discomfort caused by the shackles, Daito rubbed his wrists. Every single person in the room was staring at him.“The meeting has been deferred; we will meet again tomorrow. Slejj will be led to the cells in the meanwhile. You are free to disperse.” The councilmen, together with their maidens, made an appearance. Martha went up to her daughter, hugging her so firmly that she was on the edge of crying.“ Are you alright? “Are you in pain?”“ Mom, please stop! “Mom, you're humiliating me!” she said as she shrunk her voice even more.Alicia was flanked by Lisa. Since they were seized from the defectors' state, she did not talk a single thing.Alicia smiled as she stretched for her hand and clasped it hard.“Everything will turn out fine.” Turning to her mother, she said,“This is Lisa, Mother; she will be staying with us for a while.”Martha descended to welcome her, but her heart crushed when she saw her face. Her pen

The crowd fell silent. They had no knowledge of the man’s origin, nor of his identity so they were in no position to speak.“Do not trust this man! He was with the others during the attack. I saw him, we all saw him!” Thomas said, referring to his two other colleagues beside him. “Look do you want my help or not? Because I am a man with little patience. I have other things to attend to…”“I say we listen to the man!” one of the men from amongst the crowd shouted. “Are you out of your mind? Did you not just here what I said he is with them!”“I say we vote, whoever wants to hear what the man has to say raise your hand.” the man in the crowd said. Numerous hands were hoisted, and it was clear most of the people wanted to hear what the man had planned for them.Thomas looked at the crowd, reviled by the hands in the air. “This man is dangerous can’t you see that?!”“In this uprising democracy rules! In here we are all slaves with no leader so we go by the majority Milner, you waving yo

Some soldiers had the faces looking at the wooden floor. Some walked out of the shack once they realized she was conscious again. She wondered what the reason could be. The semblance of emotional control the soldiers were charading quickly decayed, their faces turned pale and they were reviled at the sight of her.“What is happening?” she asked her fellow State Guards around her. Salron swallowed bitterly and looked away, as if he was ashamed to ask the question he intended to ask.“The soldiers… they want to know the whereabouts of the cavalry that accompanied you to…”One soldier emerged from amongst the crowd and pushed his way through towards Alicia. He stopped behind the State Guards and spoke with a discontinuous voice.“My brother, he was a lancer! He accompanied you when you headed out for the search and he has not come back with you! Tell us what happened to him, what happened to the others!” he asked, the rest of the soldiers’ eyes looked at Alicia, desperately waiting for h

Alicia felt like slapping some sense into that overpowered simpleton, even with god magic he was no match for mother nature. She picked up an empty cup beside the tents and took some dried tea leaves, throwing them into the cup and working her magic. She did everything as loud as she possibly could to grasp his attention, but not loud enough to wake the others snoring their fatigue away inside the tents. Though she tried as much as she could to clank those cups together Daito didn't shiver one bit. Moments after the brewing tea whistled through the hot kettle Alicia picked up two cups and filled them with the overheated liquid she walked over to him and handed one of the cups over.“Just take the damn thing you foot face, it's not poisoned,” Alicia said, trying to balance the fervid crockery between her burning appendages. Daito reached out slowly like he wanted it to burn her fingers a little bit longer. He swayed it severally before taking an elegant sip. Alicia nearly showed her sm

FLASHBACK"WHAT DO WE DO!" Harmel shouted, clearly in desperation."Call the delegates, tell them to assemble at the banquet hall!, I'll head over to the outpost and inform the soldiers and Commander Alvatrone. Daito, can you help?"IN THE DUNGEONSlejj held onto his chest. It was burning up like crazy. He coughed up ashes. The veins terracing his head swelled up, bulging and redirecting the dripping sweat cascading down his forehead. The agony brought him down to his knees, with a hazy vision he saw an image approaching his cell. With all he had left in him, he whispered his plea, "Please guard! Help me!!!""... Oh I think you are far from help brother. Now, you are going to be what you should've been seven years ago...DEAD!"Slejj swallowed piercingly. His body shivered morbidly hearing those words. "What... What do you mean!""That deity. Inside you? Why do you think it has a taste for Vurhans?" the figure asked?Slejj elevated himself using the bars of the cell door as leverag

Ladzgery’s magic was ineffective, Lora thought it would give them a fair chance of defeating him. Little did she know of the beast they were about to face.Moments later Jrue walked in, carrying his two trusty blades with him. Although Tyndale was aware of their presence, he did not flinch. He took one last long breathe and exhaled lightly. He then rose to his feet, anchoring the weight of his galactic body by resting his palms on his knees and pushing himself upwards. He rolled his shoulders, relieving them of exhaustion.“Finally! I was waiting for your arrival,”The two siblings looked at each other briefly, reassuring themselves.Ladzgery turned to face them. His face expressionless, “Any last words?”. He asked, slipping off his sleeve from his right hand and placing it over the candelabra beside him. He turned his back to the siblings once more, reverting his attention towards the candelabra.“I knew this day would come. I felt the unrest brewing for some time now. It was just a

This is my chance to get rid of all this crap and move on with my life. I'll be a normal human being, and you can have your precious kingdom to rule for your entire life without having to die by my hands. It's a win for us all!”Drom looked back at those fiery eyes, finally, a chance to challenge fate and emerge victoriously."You understand that if you do this you will loose your power!""I never wanted it. Don't you hear me I don't want this power, it's a curse I don't even know why you're calling it a power.""Listen brother, a conflict is approaching our land as we speak. Fight by my side this once. Only this once and after that you can relinquish your Title in a more respectful way!"Daito stared back at Drom, "Then do this with me first, and I will fight with you to the very end!""Without your power?""I won't loose my power right away! It'll take a while for my power to escape me, and before it does I will help you fight,""Who told you that...""The same people that told yo

MAGE WARS: Sword of Solace EPILOGUE
They rushed into the palace, two awls trailing behind them, holding a huge wooden box. When they were climbing the flight of stairs, one of the awls relaxed his grasp on the case's side handle and it slid off, falling to the ground. The case's housing broke open and objects spewed out, including several scrolls, a large book with a lock restricting the pages, and a fairly long dagger. "Wait, I'm familiar with both the book and the sword. They are normally at my father's place. He's been devoting a lot of time lately to reading that book." "And what is the purpose of the blade?" "It's for, yeah, I read about it in my father's library a long time ago, it's used for the rite when when...no!" Daito's eyes abruptly opened as he realized what the intention of the visit could be. He made a hasty descent down the trunk, losing his balance and slipping off several times. Drom pursued him blindly. "Hey! Dai, what is it tell me!" "Come on Drom! We have to hurry before it's too late." They

Needle-like pain reverberated across her skull. She lost her orientation, the world began spinning. As she tried to straighten to her feet another powerful blow landed across her frame, knocking the air out of her lungs, sending her spinning and spiraling across the floor. She collided with the wall, breaking her momentum. Jrue swung his twin blades with malicious intent. Though it wasn’t him succumbing to all those terrifying blows they were so brutal that he felt the impact of his raw strength. Before his blades could gain momentum he was rudely picked off the ground with an inhumane tackle. He was driven to the wall, the impact so violent it pushed the bricks out of position. Once he was pinned to the wall a flurry of punches started coming his way. The iron-like knuckles dug into his face, he felt like a hammer pounding his cheeks. His mouth filled with blood. The relentless attacks were halted by a deafening sound of a metal bar striking Tyndale’s skull. It seemed to have less

“A paralytic Poison. I see I taught you well my son…” “Don’t you ever dare call me that again!” He picked up his right arm and slit his wrist across, doing the same to his left hand. Jrue wanted him to suffer. He wanted him to bleed to death knowing that he was powerless, unable to do anything about it and save himself. He left him outside and limped back into the house. All the soldiers guarding the house had evacuated, deployed to handle the uprising of the slaves in the mines, giving the two siblings all the time they needed to execute duties assigned to them by Anato Strider as part of their escape plan. He managed to reach the room where the fight had begun. He shook her sister to wake. “Lora, Lora! Wake up, it is done!” All Lora felt was an unrealistically powerful force driving her to the ground. She landed with a thud, her head bouncing off the moldy floor. Needle-like pain reverberated across her skull. She lost her orientation, the world began spinning. As she tried to s

Albert was unconcerned about her feelings. He spread the crinkled letter out on the table and began reading it aloud. "The official report. On the second day of the third week of the sixth moon of the year, the commander of the independent states arrived at Defectors State headquarters, where honorary State guard, Lora Deryleen, provided information on the whereabouts of the fugitive, ex-commander, and traitor to the States, Slejj. In the evening, the commander gathered an army to go over to make a stand. "What are you babbling about, is it a fantasy scenario you've been dreaming about?" "Come on...you of all people should know the report never lies," "You seriously can't be considering something this low Albert!," "I made a deal with fugitives Lora, fugitives you wanted to protect. now it seems like their crimes have caught up to them, and there is no way I can delay the inevitable," "You're not going to be able to accomplish it, Albert. We struck a deal!" "Lora...dear Lora, I

The kick was aimed at the shield. Tyndale pushed out the shield with his kick so violently that it broke the teeth submerged into the metal. As the shield rolled on the mud with the teeth sticking out of it, Jericho shrieked in pain. Daito finally came to, getting to his feet just in time before the blast shot the Vurhan's entire face off. He charged forward with a blast of his own. Tyndale reverted his attention towards him which left him exposed to the mercy of the beast. Another swipe of the claws ripped up a shred of his skin, allowing blood to run over his chest. His muscular arms pushed Daito back onto the ground once more. He kicked the vurhan and took out its left knee with a blast of energy, rendering it immobile, momentarily. As the vurhan stumbled to the ground he grabbed its arm and pulled it back up, directing its head towards his punch. The two targets collided, leaving a bloody green stain on the Vurhan's face as it slid across the mud. Tyndale felt a severe force pus

"I made a deal with fugitives Lora, fugitives you wanted to protect. now it seems like their crimes have caught up to them, and there is no way I can delay the inevitable," "You're not going to be able to accomplish it, Albert. We struck a deal!" "Lora...dear Lora, I mean, come on, you knew what you were up to. We all knew this make-believe family you built wasn't going to last." "Albert, you're a jerk!" "Let's not talk about that princess. I'm aware of your darkest secrets!" "Wait... What secret?" He moved closer to her face, leaning in. Her stomach turned at the smell of his alcoholic breath. "You think I don't know about your little secret, Deryleen... you're not from around here, are you?" "You're not selling it Albert...get out of here." Lora bumped shoulders with him as she walked into her quarters. "Get out of my quarters now!!!" "... According to the second official report, Lora Deryleen and Alicia Iko captured the previous commander of the independent nations and we

Alicia dazed in a similar trance. She looked on as her apparently dead little brother reaped his swords and whirled them, chopping off delegates arms and legs. At one point he arced his head and caught sight of her, but ventured on with his slaughter as if she wasn't even there, as if he had no clue who she was. Reene and the others tapped them out of their stupor as they pulled out their swords. Alicia began galloping straight towards Drom, and Lora headed for Deryleen. Before they could both reach their intended targets the rest of the faction popped up under the teleportation circle and dropped to the arena, jumping straight into the action. Outside the castle, the intense battle raged on. The army of undead knights fought relentlessly like they had nothing to lose, mostly because they didn't. They overpowered the knights trying to secure the castle and fell to their blades, most of them cowardly retreating. The vurhans continued their orchestra, by then the whole city had awoken

"You know the truth is I was never your brother you simpleton! I was never your brother!" "... Wha... What did I ever do to you brother?" "NOTHING! And that is why I despise you. You never did anything for anyone, only cared about yourself. Using others to get what you wanted... Using me to become the commander!" Slejj coughed up a couple of times before speaking. "What in the hell are you talking about?" "I do not need to explain myself to you! Have you ever heard of Enkai, the forest deity who supposedly guarded the gates against crossers? Protected the Independent States from the world outside, especially vurhans." Slejj stared back in discomfort as a response. "Well, do you remember the day we were on the battlefield, fighting off the hoards of vurhans? I was the one who called on to him. I corrupted him with the help of some new friends I made. Using the power I made it turn against us... It killed and devoured those soldiers, and it was also to devour you! But I didn't pla

Fear was creeping in and Jrue was re-evaluating his options. A retreat would seem reasonable at that point. Lora had been completely taken out of the equation. “Well! I am Waiting!” Tyndale barked, his voice full of excitement. Jrue charged towards him. He wasn’t that good of a fighter in tight spaces but give him an open field and he would perform his acrobatic stunts that surprisingly packed a punch. He sought to tilt the odds to his advantage by taking him to an open field, and there was only one way he saw how. Running full steam ahead he tackled Tyndale and they both burst through the window, shattering the glass and falling three from a height three stories high. There was no object below to cushion their landing, so they sprawled to the hard ground. Jrue landed on his chest, breaking a bone or two. Tyndale landed on the shards of glass. They dug into his back, yet he seemed not to feel irritated by the pain. Before he could get up Jrue rushed over to him and impaled his leg w
