Retribution of the Roar LX. Hidden Hearts
The absence of Leison and Nique for almost four days made Raeya worry. Did something happen? Though she wasn’t really that worried since it was the two of them, she couldn’t help but overthink that the interrogation went wrong. Although Sir Vance contacted them for the past days telling them that everything went well and that they just had to focus on Operation Ignis, he only used voice calls. It was nothing to be suspicious about but when even Nique refused to do video call with her, that was something new like they didn’t want to show their faces, save for Leison. Raeya actually thought that they were hiding something. “You weren’t listening again,” Fahazi grumbled in front of her. She snapped back to reality. She looked at the score sheet in front of her. Raeya just snoozed in the middle of an oral and written quiz with Fahazi. “Oh.” Raeya could only scratch her cheek and do an awkward chuckle. “My bad, you were saying?” Fahazi hit her with a hard-cover book. “Ow!” Fahazi lai

The Discerner and the Chief were monsters in the battlefield. There were only a few of their enemies that were left standing. Jin pulled out a small sickle out of a random man who didn't resist. The man willingly embraced death like he had no regrets. On the other hand, Chief Raius was a demon himself. Three lunged at him but with a kick, an elbow to the nose, and a punch to the eyes, he was fearless. The chief then looked at the remaining enemies, silently asking them to attack him. But instead of aimlessly fighting him, they made the right choice. Their enemies ran. It was their third day to be able to defend the Rokohorta mountain again. In the first place, the battle should have not existed had their enemy not proposed to them. “Peace or war?” asked the representative of Hearth. The team that went to humbly seek an audience with them were composed of only two people–the bearer of the white neutral flag and the spokesperson himself. Both of them were half-naked like they were poor

“Jin, will you follow a ridiculous order?” For the first time, the chief was actually asking Jin, his own right hand, that question. If you are the Rigiddin chief, you shouldn’t really bother asking. Both of them were drinking tea inside the Rokohorta Academy. It was a school but if you look at it from afar, it was actually a series of castles. They were just sitting around a wooden table with two cups and a kettle of mountain tea in front of them. It was dark and the torches in the hallway were not enough to fully light where they were. But they were directly beside a window, the moonlight entering and shining upon them like a spotlight. They agreed not to sleep that night to make sure their enemies wouldn’t pull a nasty prank on them. Lady Richi was the one leading the patrol outside. They will follow soon after resting just for a little moment because it is not good to expose the Rokohorta Lady for such a long time outside or else the enemy will take advantage of it. The scene w

Jin felt his anxiety die down. The chief’s presence and touch was a mix of power and comfort like an elder brother’s pat on his younger sibling. “While Ryder basked in the glory of his victories out in the sun for everyone to see, you only sheathed your dagger in the silence of the shadows whenever you won your hidden battles. You clean your blade like nothing happened like what you did to Lord Corzi the Crooked, Lord Alaster the Abusive, Lord Dishorai the Drunkard, and many others.” The chief even knew their names whereas Jin only knew them as the rich criminals who couldn’t be put to justice because of their money. “They were feudal lords who committed numerous sins in our village for the past years. They can’t be put on trial because they have their gold that’s keeping everyone out. As such, they didn’t need Ryder’s kind way of handling criminals. They simply don’t deserve the legal ways of prosecution, as what the city calls. Someone had to deliver the harsh sword of justice o

Hearth is still worth fighting for. The words of her sister Mishaela echoed in her thoughts as Maryan looked at the Rokohorta Academy set on the mountain. It was night but the glamorous castle took over the plains where they were with its enormous shadow. ‘How about now, sister? Is Hearth still worth it?’ she thought. Maryan always looked back to when her older sister came home with a golden paper. “I passed! I did it! I’ve been accepted to Hearth!” The two of them lived together in a small apartment room in the city. Their space was so small that it was embarrassing because she was sure their neighbors heard of it. Mishaela never talked about Hearth non-stop. She was beyond admiring it. She became a fanatic of Hearth. That was what Maryan thought of her sister until that fateful night. Maryan overslept at the bus that she had missed her stop. When she got off, she was more than a kilometer away from her destination. She just decided to walk home. After all, it was not her fi
Last Updated : 2022-05-16Retribution of the Roar LXV. Maryan
Maryan woke up with her sister Mishaela’s smile fading into the reality of the morning. It was always the same everyday ever since her sister was captured. It was like her consciousness was constantly reminding her of her reason. But something was a little bit different today. After thinking hard last night, she finally decided to embrace everything. Her boss told her not to worry and just focus on her own task. Her assistant advised her to rest even just for a day just for her to breathe and clear her mind out. Even Grey kept in touch with her, reminding her not to be distracted in her pursuit of revenge against the Rigiddin for what they did to her sister for Hearth had a bigger aim. But after reminiscing some memories last night, she was filled with determination to deny her feelings. She gladly welcomed the stress first thing in the morning. She acknowledged her hatred to her enemies and didn’t try to bury it. Maryan was not running away. She will carry out her mission and allow

''So? Where did you come from? How did you meet with Jaiyo?'' Infiltrating the camp was hard enough but questions like these were harder. ''My family of guerillas received your notice. I simply answered your call. Fortunately, the man with a purple headband who led me here and your attendant recommended you to me,'' Lidon answered as they walked the mountain trail. ''I see.'' She was not to be underestimated, unlike her hired soldiers. Jin and the chief already knew the basic structure of their camp because they flew over them once. He was pretty confident that he could get inside without doing anything not until he saw the entrance. The ones going in and out had some sort of special tattoos on their skin which they were showing to the guards. Jin was at a loss not until he spotted a group. They didn't show any part of their skin but they were accompanied by some sort of leader with a purple headband. It was that leader who let them in. Jin waited for a few nights at most befor

“The new guerilla army of Hearth.” These people love to label them like they were naming another breed of animal. Hearth was really something else. They waited for five minutes. Ten. Twenty. When they had lost the time that they were waiting, Maryan had sat on a nearby rock, her face bored as she watched Lidon play his dagger in his hand. Lidon caught her staring and made eye contact but she immediately averted her eyes, suddenly interested in the horizon. If Chief Raius would ask him to describe this lady as the commander of Hearth, he would just tell him that she was too young. She might make a good leader but not the position of a commander, especially in a war like this. He felt bad about her sister Mishaela who is imprisoned at the Rigiddin village. If he would make an offer to free her sister in exchange for backing off from the war, would she accept? The sound of shoes crushing grass made Lidon unwrap the cloth around his weapon. “Lidon?” asked Maryan. She didn’t hear it.

''Tomorrow?'' Chief Raius couldn't help but laugh. ''Who do you think you are? Some savior who could turn the world upside-down with a snap of a finger? How do you expect to bring down Hearth, an enemy that even the Triad is having a hard time with? Could you erase a three hundred year-old company tomorrow? Could you?''Believe it or not.'' Ryder was offended. Earlier, his face held high reverence for the chief. Now, Ryder's voice was plain and he was looking at the chief at eye level without bowing or nodding, unlike earlier. But with the chief's words, it was bound to come to this point. ''I have been in touch with Sir Vance. he said that the preparations are complete. All that's left is for your consent.''Ryder wasn't even addressing him as chief anymore. Jin discerned it then at the moment. The Roar didn't come to be pitied, nor to ask for pity or forgiveness. He didn't come to grovel and take the blame for what happened to Raeya. That was just the surface. That was what he want

''You can't kill me'', Raeya blurted amidst their wrestling.His strength was overwhelming her and her muscles were becoming sore and overpowered by him. She had to do something. She had to find a good spot that she could use to break free.''Oh? How sure are you? Don't tell me its because you believe that I still love you.''No, she didn't believe that. Seyin was the second to confess his love to her after Jin. She was the one in-charge of handling new applicants to Aegis when Seyin entered the hall where they would be taking the Shore test. She was assisting Fhae in conducting the tests that would determine if the applicants had the potential to harness the power of the Shore.Instead of asking about anything significant about the test at that time, Seyin stood and boldly asked her out, embarrassing both of them at that moment. After that, she kindly but firmly said her no. Seyin cried in front of her but in the end, she offered what she could–friendship. Until now, she didn’t know

Jin had a feeling his discussion with Fahazi about leaders going at the forefront jinxed the night.“Go!” He commanded as he pulled Fahazi to his feet and pushed him to get him running. As they ran, Jin looked behind. He could make out nothing because of the darkness but he felt shadows following them. He grabbed Fahazi’s hand and sped across the tunnels. They only had one flashlight. Fahazi must have lost his own light during the explosion.Jin felt something was about to fall on them. He felt dust and debris fall upon his face as they ran. “Fall back, Fahazi!” Both of them were able to stop just in time before the ceiling gave way. If they had advanced one second further, they would have already been buried in a pile of huge blocks of cement and dirt.It didn’t stop there. A slight tremor was felt from above.“This way,” Fahazi suggested as he pointed to one of the tunnels which didn’t seem to be shaking. Jin nodded and they entered the tunnel to their left.“Do you think we can st
Retribution of the Roar CCXV. Drooling Dreams
Grey wasn't someone who was easily intimidated. Even with Ryder and Leison had him on gunpoint and swordpoint, he still wore the same smug expression.''You're pretty confident this time, Aegis.'' He wasn't fazed at all with the pressure around him. ''Have you finally moved on from your humiliation in our last war?''This position was familiar with the battle at Hearth. Ryder had also cornered Grey in their laboratory. Grey wasn't yet a fighter or a conjurer back then, just a normal scientist who only knew how to wield science and technology. That was why Ryder decided that he wouldn't kill him. He diverted his focus on the Shadows that Hearth released. However, Grey took advantage of Ryder's soft heart back then. He summoned Absinthe and the rest was history.''You're provoking the wrong people. You should be telling that to your bosses,'' Leison answered.''I wouldn't call that a word of provocation. It's just called a taunt.'' Grey was feeling extra powerful now. Was there some rea

If Raeya could recall properly, the men said they were going to answer her questions after they had tied her up but now she was the one tying all of six of them up. It was a good thing she found a rope in one of the toolboxes of the saleslady or else she would have to knock them unconscious every five minutes that they woke up.Raeya pressed the switch and a single dim bulb was brought back to life. Its light was yellowish but it would serve its purpose just for the room to do away with the darkness. She tried calling her friends but she was stumped after realizing that there was no signal. Raeya hoped that Aegis was doing well and that nothing bad happened. Raeya didn’t know why but she was feeling ominous like something big happened. Or was that her overthinking? After securing their hands, she dragged them into the corner and made their backs lean on the wall, away from any object that they could grab and free themselves. She was waiting for the leader, the one with a red turban,

Retribution of the Roar CCXXII. Tunnel Tales
Lidon was still wary of the guerilla army.He had wrapped his dagger to make them think that he had lowered his guard. But since no one was still attacking them, then it is safe to assume that they are safe for now. They led them through the forest until they reached a hanging bridge. In this time, it was unusual to see a wooden bridge when they were living in the age of development. The bridge was just a collection of blocks of wood bound together by rubber ties and twigs. A river with sharp rocks twenty feet spread below.“Let’s go two at a time or else the bridge will break,” the woman with the golden tooth said. That goes without saying. It was as if the bridge was designed to not welcome visitors.As ancient and old-looking the bridge was, the new guerilla army seemed to have no problem with it. Wayl and the woman went ahead first. It was only the two of them but the bridge swayed so much.“That seems scary,” Maryan whispered beside him.“We can’t do anything about it, can’t we
