MAGE WARS: Sword of Solace CHAPTER 1.9.8
She tried hard not to cry, but she couldn’t hold it in any longer. She cried herself to exhaustion. She shed the act she was putting on of being a strong fierce leader and allowed herself to feel vulnerable for once, to be a young adult girl in a cruel world. The rest of her fellow state guards in her living room could hear her crying, but they all put themselves in her shoes and knew deep in their hearts what she was going through. They would have done the same, take a break and let it all out. Surprisingly Tulip was amongst them, but she was heavily chained down she couldn’t even make a step forward. The whole house was soundless, only infrequent sounds of Alicia’s sobs broke the silence. After an agonizing thirty minutes her cries finally died down and she walked out of her room with swollen eyes. “So, what is it you wanted to tell us! Exchange of information and we will grant you freedom… that was the deal.” Alicia said, trying hard to compose herself. Tulip tried hard to strai

END OF THE SUCCESOR WAR ARC"We do not kill females, that is our code as ordered by our mistress Lady Melo." "Fine! Give me the crossbow," he grabbed one of the ladies' crossbows and shot an arrow that ripped through Alicia's stomach. As they dissipated, in all the pain and anguish Alicia threw one last look at Daito, and she was met with black cold-blooded eyes that stared back at her with no remorse as she cried her pain out loud. She was left for dead, bleeding ourLady Melo chased after Lisa "Hey! Little girl, hold on!" Soon after she caught up with her she saw her bent on one of the cells, trying to shake someone to wake. "Grandpa... grandpa wake up, we have to go! Grandpa," She tried to wake him, rocking him back and forth. She sniffled quietly, tears threatening to spill, building up under his eyelids. A heavy sob escaped her and she covered her face with her tiny trembling hands. Lady Melo was heartbroken, she started regretting why she signed up for this anyways. It was

“It doesn’t matter now. What matters is that you should go there and evacuate the rest of the captives. You people are the army, you were supposed to lay down your lives to support the citizens you serve and yet when danger came knocking on our doors you fled to this State and left the rest of the helpless citizens to be held, prisoners! This is the least you can do to repay the citizens you abandoned.” “Trust me, old man, we have tried to go back and save the people we left behind, but there is no way we could get past the Vurhans surrounding us.” “Well, that is why I am here. I have been shown a way to get to the Defectors State. All you have to do is follow my lead.” “How sure can we be that the information you are giving us is true. How can we be sure that you were not sent here by the tyrant himself to lead us into our deaths?!” As the blue rings circulated his forearm Alvatrone intervened and pulled it back down. “No, not this time. I want this to be more entertaining. Kil

Albert said standing at the doorstep. Lora looked back at him she couldn't help but reply with a smirk painted on her face " Is everything okay, my lady? " "I was just thinking about how five years ago, when I used to be tied to your leash.... Now look at you, licking my boots." She giggled, giving him a cold look. "Tell him I'll be there." She said. As soon as Albert started walking off, she turned back to him. "Oh and Albert, you said you wanted to be the commander to the Independent States right?" "... Ye... Yes my lady." "Well, I have a mission for you. And if you are successful, I might consider giving you the title." Albert's eyes lit up,"Yes my lady, I am prepared to serve you in any way." "... Can you still survive without your left arm?" "What...." ༺Sals Village ༻ The festival was at its peak. As the sun was setting, more villagers gathered at the town centre. It seemed like all afternoon was just about preparations and the main event was set to begin. Reene rel

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 push his right shoulder, blue blinding light whisked past his ear, after a while, a sharp pain accompanied the disturbance. He looked to his rig
MAGE WARS: Sword of Solace CHAPTER 2.0.3
Hey, Gramps! Look, I met a state guard today, shes just like Lora!" Lisa yanked Slejj's hand as she pulled him closer to Alicia, and he continued to giggle. Lisa let out a cute high-pitched laugh. Slejj felt a rush of icy wind slap his neck as he raised his head. He fixed his vision for a clearer view, and when he glanced down, he saw the sword's silver blade inches from his trachea, begging to be impaled. Alicia had eventually broken out from her trance and drawn her sword. "Don't take another step closer, or else..." "Or else what!" said the man next to her, sternly. Alicia wished she could punch the man in the teeth. She saw a blue wave of light flashing from the guy's general direction out of the corner of her eye. She cocked her head slightly to see what the guy could have up his sleeve that might tempt him to intimidate a state guard. The blooming chromatic light came into focus as she curved her head It was continuously blinking, emitting bluish embers, like a firefly. It

Come on, Dai, it isn't that far!" "You're only saying that because you've already reached the top." Dai struggled to reach the top of the tree. As he clung to the hard bark, it continued to grit his delicate hands as he fought to ascend it. He gradually made it to the brink, where they perched on a branch protruding from the trunk above the hedge that divided the garden from the castle courtyard. He joined in, settling his mass on a suitable spot on the massive branch. They savored the quiet while soaking in the scenery. As their gaze was drawn to the castle, the back door flew open, and someone emerged from inside. He lingered by the door for a moment, as if expecting someone. Drom could tell who he was even from afar; he was the physician who was always around the castle, looking after his father. He eventually made his way down the stairwell that leads to a garden behind the castle. Daito recognized his lean face as he approached the gates. Within his brain, a fierce argument

Alicia took a shovel from behind her and stepped in closer. She was terrified, and she didn't want to get into a fight. If there was to be a showdown, she hoped it would be between her and a squirrel, but unless rodents grew to be six feet tall, it wasn't going to happen.When she got closer, a figure appeared from the bushes, wearing a hood over his face and a cloak that covered his whole body. Alicia swung the shovel in the person's direction out of fear and reflex, and it collided with his temple, throwing him down to the ground."Who are you?" "show yourself!" She tried to come off as authoritative.The person drew his hood back and raised his arms in surrender."Wait a minute!" It's just me... don't worry, it's just me!"Alicia brought the lamp up close to the individual's face. She lowered the shovel as soon as she saw his voice."Wait, Drom? Is it you?" Much of the commotion in the garden was heard by Martha. She took a look outside to see what was going on."ALICIA! What's th

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.

"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
MAGE WARS: Sword of Solace CHAPTER 2.6.9
"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
MAGE WARS: Sword of Solace CHAPTER 2.6.8
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
