............“That’s the last of them. Let us get going before more enemies follow us!”Thomas said, collapsing a chunk of rocks he had suspended over the remaining group of assailants that were following them. They managed to push the refugees out of the forest and into an open field where the path they had followed lay.Drom was amongst the state guards, he tried hard to control the pace of his breathing but he could not. His body was without a functioning heart which made doing anything that required rapid movement a strenuous affair.“How’s the king doing?”Thomas asked the crowd of state guards surrounding him.“Uh, not good sir. He might be losing consciousness.”Robert answered back. As he was giving his response he looked back at Drom and noticed a patch of red coloring on his top. He slightly peaked through the sagging shirt and noticed the heavy layer of bandages running across his chest.“I think he might be injured. And he is losing a lot of blood!”“Quickly then! We have

**************************************FLASHBACK******************************************Tyndale asked, walking slowly towards the duo. With each step, the mud below his soles boiled. Daito twitched his eyebrows a little. The words seemed to be getting through to him“Ah yes, I get it now. They have you under a slave emblem! No wonder you are this weak, needing the help of that vile creature to fight me!”Jericho shrieked back, it seemed to understand Tyndale's words and they didn’t settle well with it. Protected by the swarm of purple embers, Ladzgery went on the offensive, charging towards the duo.“I can't, I can't hold it up anymore.”Melody’s hands dropped and the ring collapsed with it, removing the orange tint it had cast over the battlefield.“Looks like Daito might be in a bit of trouble. I'll go down and help him finish Tyndale off, you keep watch on the exit and make sure no soldier from Tyndale's army makes it past this point.”Shinsin and Kuro said, addressing Melody who

DEFECTORS STATE BEYOND ITS BORDERS"Lads, he's awake!"One of the soldiers yelled this to the rest of the troops. They ran to the tent after dumping bowls of whatever they were serving for lunch. They surrounded it, waiting for him to emerge into the outdoors, it took him a while but he finally got up from his bed.“Hey, Hey!” Allow him some breathing space! He's returned from the dead, and the last thing he needs to see is faces looking at him, as though you've seen a ghost,”Garvin exclaimed. As he worked his way through, Garvin dragged the soldiers back. Finally, he approached the tent's entrance and drew the silk curtain that acted as the door down. Drom crawled out, his arms covering his eyes from the light.“Are you all right there?"As Drom walked out of the tent, Garvin asked, lending him a hand. Thomas, Xermia, and Sigrid, as well as the rest of the state guards, gathered at the tent.“Yes, I'm fine; it's just the sunlight,” Drom was expressive. Garvin laughed and spat out t

The day was still, humid, and cold. The villagers went about their everyday lives, their interests and work preoccupying them. On her way to the rice fields, was a pretty maiden. Walking down a narrow path lined with shrubs whose hard limbs protruded into the path, attempting to scrape her knees.She hopped over the branches now and then, singing a soothing tune to herself to make the trip more bearable. She was on her way to give lunch to her two brothers, who were working alongside other villagers in the rice fields. Harvest season had arrived, and they needed to harvest as much rice as possible before the rains arrived and left the field too muddy to walk on. As she walked through the lane, mud collected on the bottom of her dress.A loud implosion rocked her to the ground as she exited the road and into a gorge. She tripped and slipped, losing the bag containing the delicacies on her back. When she landed flat on her stomach, her brunette hair soaked up mud. A globe of energy emer

****************************************NORTH ANGUS******************************************They had formed a line in front of the tyrant. The night's temperatures fell to zero due to the ashore wind, making it unbearable for them to live outdoors. The three saints of the soul master, Lancer, Charger, and Raider, appeared in front of the audience assembled outside the king's fallen palace. The podium, which was normally used to address the townspeople, was to be transformed into an execution site.Individuals knelt before the audience on the platform: Alexander Xermia, the Xermia family's head, Rowan Eelse, the Eelse family's head, Ulrio Townsdy, the Townsdy family's head, Sho Akiro, the Akiro family's head, Sigrid Hermon, the Hermon family's head, Thomas Miler, the Milner family's head, and Simmons Harmel Zeyer.Erik Rovier and Anselm Portriesse had escaped the ordeal with the rest of the town's residents. Julius Aldeim had succumbed to the sword of his lieutenant, Jrue Deryleen, a

The extreme fire of the flames charred the body. The undead knights nearest to the flames threw themselves into the fire, oblivious to their own safety. Others struggled to rip the soul sleeve from the tyrant's baked arm, while others struggled to drag the flaming body out of the flames. Even after spending a considerable amount of time within the fire, the spell enchanted on the sleeve rendered it indestructible.One of the soldiers was able to rip it off and throw it over to the side of the field that was not engulfed in flames. The other undead knights swarmed around the sleeve, scratching its fur. Their perseverance paid off soon after, and streams of violet and black smoke began to emerge from the sleeve. They stood their ground, while others were hit by tongues of smoke, which would seep into their armour and through their chests.They became conscious of their surroundings almost immediately after the streak of energy reached their body, as if they had just awoken from a long s

FIVE YEARS AGOTyndale entered the castle, his look drawn to the wonderful craftsmanship of engineering. He strolled through the position of authority chamber, the tips of his fingertips scratching against the dinner table within the room's center. Charger, Marauder, and Lancer, the three holy people, trailed behind. Jrue Deryleen, his lieutenant, risen from one conclusion of the room as he drawn closer the position of royalty. He was using his double edges, which he had wrapped around Lora's neck. He drew her closer to the dictator.Tyndale looked at the two and noticed a striking similitude between them. They were correct copies of each other, and their eyes, whereas being of inverse sexual orientations, were strikingly comparative. He might tell this was Jrue's sister right away. He drawn nearer the position of royalty and fixed the ties that held his robe in bind behind his back. The holy people ran to him and gotten it when it dropped to the ground, anticipating it from touching

YEARS AGO“You have to keep your cool, Jrue, or Tyndale will suspect you!” Jrue was alerted by Lora. He struggled to keep his sobs down. All was coming back to him, and the volume of information was almost too much for him to handle. The vivid memory of the assassinations he'd carried out. The heinous deeds he'd committed. He was unable to forgive himself for such heinous deeds.Lora felt bad for him. She had seen the tragedy that had befallen her brother. The mindless machine that slaughtered innocent people for the thrill of watching one struggle for his last breath as they died. As he cut off people's limbs, he grinned satirically. She knew he would never do anything like that, and she desperately wanted to help him forget about it, but there was no chance she could do that.For an extended amount of time, he sat in his chair, weeping. Lora sat beside him on the edge of the bunk, trying to console him. He eventually slowed down enough to answer some of her sister's questions after a w

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
