Retribution of the Roar LXXXII. Time is Backward
Raii Shin was getting an earful from Dawn.''You were what?!''Their classmates turned around towards Dawn and Raii Shin's seats. Raii Shin felt awkward.''Um, Dawn, you might want to lower your voice? Everybody's staring,'' she pleaded.Dawn looked around, only noticing by now. ''Oh, right, sorry.''A girl named Harana, a known dancer and a social media figure rolled her eyes at them. Dawn may not have noticed it but unfortunately, Raii Shin did. Raii Shin even saw Harana say something to her friends and laugh while pointing in their direction. Fortunately, Raii Shin wasn't into girl fights or gossip so she really didn't care. They were already in college. Everyone should be past childish things.''So you're telling me that you got in a serious match with a senior in your taekwondo class? Isn't that against the rules? Did you complain?''Taekwondo class is what Raii Shin always used as an excuse whenever things got busy at Orion. Dawn was a smart woman but for some reason, she alway

Their part-timer disobeyed health protocols again.There she stood at his office, all sweaty, with an odd-looking book in her hand. Everyone had stopped what they were doing upon hearing her story.''Do you know where your teacher is, then?'' Sir Tanori was already typing at his screen and signaling orders to the others. They still didn’t know anything at all. But seeing the confidence oozing off from Regina, he didn’t have any reason to not listen to her and act accordingly. Regina was displaying determination. She had thought this through.''I have a clue, based on one of her notes.'' She brought out a crumpled piece of paper.''I found it weird on why they are written vertically and why some of the words don't follow any spacing at all.'' She then pulled another paper. When they squinted closer, they found out it was a rough draft of Jazel. She placed it above the last page of the book.Regina turned on the flashlight of her phone and lit the papers from behind.Rituals.Host.Immo

“Sir Tanori, are you sure you want to take in the grueling task of teaching the basics? You already have lots on your plate,” asked a lady in a black and purple corpo attire who was standing in front of Tanori’s table.Tanori looked at the office clock first. There were only a few minutes before midnight. He then turned to his messy desk with papers, pens, notes, and coffee sachets. His mouth made a tsk sound. Looks like he won’t be able to guide that part-timer again because the stack of papers were keeping him glued to his seat.“I have to do it, Ammie.” The secretary raised her brow at the mention of her nickname and she cleared her throat while her eyes moved around the office to see if the others had heard it. Tanori immediately realized his mistake.“Amethyst, I mean.” The lady then acknowledged it by nodding her head in approval.Geez, women. Now, I don’t feel like I’m the boss.“Why the sudden need? You have competent mentors under you who can do it for you. Or are you not sat

Raii Shin had to skip class for the whole day. Dawn kept on ringing her phone and bombarding her with messages which Raii Shin only noticed when Orion Agency was having their quick lunch before they delved into the details of what they were going to do.If you're gonna ditch class, why didn't you call me? I badly want to take a break from Mr. Crescentiment.''Mr. Crescentiment was their nickname for their teacher in Arts that doesn't stop talking about how arts is the whole world. The professor was too passionate and every afternoon, Raii Shin and Dawn wouldn't stop laughing, impersonating him how cringey he was.Sorry, I'm on my period. Couldn't hold the pain anymore.It was half-truth. She really was on her period though thank the heavens, she was not having cramps.Okay, okay. Use your warm bag and drink the tea that I gave you last time. I'll try to talk to our teachers to cut you some slack. See yah tomorrow!At least Dawn bought her excuse. Raii Shin couldn't think of a more rea

When the Shore once more gained the trust of the people, everything fixed itself.Famines subsided, the rivers opened up, typhoons didn’t visit as often as they did. They called that period of time the age of tranquility because everything transitioned smoothly. There were huge changes but with a unified vision for a better Khenealm, Biyako was able to lead the people to prosperity.At the time when the royal family stepped down, a new government was formed by the experts. They started to manage the towns and villages effectively by upgrading their economy and started trading with the neighboring lands.However, due to their openness, foreign disease also entered the land. The presence of different tribes and different races entering into Khenealm triggered epidemics as they carried out illnesses and viruses from their lands into Khenealm. Some affected the crops and some affected the people. In other words, the age of tranquility ended. They were falling into dark times again. Even

When Wayl finally stopped talking, the night was too deep. Normal people would be sleeping but here they were, wide-awake as they were slapped by reality, including Lidon.Maryan didn’t look like she was enlightened. She sat there in front of the fire, a blanket over her body and the orange reflection of the flames highlighted her face all the more. It was as if she had a hunch of all the things that Wayl said but it was only until now that it was confirmed. This wasn’t new at all to her, Lidon could see.She finally verified her truth, he thought.But to Lidon, not only was it a long history but a shocking one. All his life, he only thought about serving the Rigiddin and his village. He never cared about the past of humanity or the Shore because he believed whatever happened then can never be changed and that the present and future was more worth fighting for. But hearing the other side of the story instigated something within him–to know more.He had been listening outside for hour

That day, Lidon woke up to a different morning. His brain was on fire like an apocalypse just happened last night and he knew exactly what he should have done to prevent it from happening but instead he just slept through the night, waiting for someone to do it. Pathetic. He was still that same boy, peeking through the cracked wall and staring at the back of the young chief Raius, the man whom he swore fealty to and admired more than his life.He was in the middle of his complicated thoughts when there was a loud banging at the door. The house where they stayed in only had one room available for Maryan but lucky for him, there was a nearby shed where they kept their gardening tools. At least they had the decency to let him sleep although he was trained to hold his drowsiness.The banging wouldn’t stop and Lidon opened with a full swing of his arm.It was Maryan. And there were tears in her eyes.“G-go to the house,” she stammered, her face in a state of shock.When a woman sheds tear

It was nighttime when they came for Maryan.She had been sleeping for hours straight. That was good. She had to take her time to relax while she still could. Lidon watched over her the whole time, eyeing the windows for any movement outside. The sunset passed over them in a bloody color as if reflecting on what happened earlier.Who could have killed the old man? How did the culprit do it? And what was the reason behind it?As Lidon had observed, the guerillas respected him. It was evident in the amount of his visitors upon hearing of his demise. In just a few hours, the mountain was busy with people moving up from different directions. He was like a legendary general who served his country well. On the other hand, Lidon can’t fathom how a guerilla leader, an enabler of the bad times, could be revered very highly.Lidon still couldn’t quite grasp the reason why people still want to become guerillas in this age and time. Why would they fight in the deep mountains and away from the amen

Retribution of the Roar CCXIX. Caring
''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
Retribution of the Roar CCXXX. A Special Moment
''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

Retribution of the Roar CCXVI. Shoot of the Moon
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
Retribution of the Roar CCXXIV. Veils of Vengeance
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,

''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 before spot
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
