Time has passed by so swiftly that we were able to finish the water reservoir and even made some extensions to the households in some villages in the Ignis Hella. The Knights continued their training. Everyone had some peace in their living. However, we are all aware that the peace we are currently enjoying is temporary. In the coming war, no one is sure who will win. No one knows who will survive.
And that war is today.
I stood alone in front of the Ignis castle two hundred meters away. I am watching the mighty castle my father reigns. The castle which will be mine to rule in the future, as my father prepared me. General Amber has positioned his army on the left, right, and back of the castle. My father is with Hunter. They are discussing something. It's only between the two of them.
I sensed someone getting near me. I know their smell. Very familiar.
"Why are alone, Akira?" Prince Matias who is now was standing behind asked me.
AkiraAt my first slash, my sword blows the Aquan knight's hand. It was cut and fell to the ground. He screamed while blood is dripping from the wound. I did not waste any more time. I know there are more enemies to face now. So, I immediately behead him and went to another Aquan.Blood is everywhere. Men are shouting while fighting not just for the kingdom but for their lives as well.The Mark on my neck glows brighter this time. So as those of Prince Marcus, Prince Matias, and Princess Shateira. I can feel much stronger this time. My movements got quicker and my senses are all keen. I know that the three other guardians feel the same.After just a blink of an eye, I have already killed about twenty enemies. I stopped in the middle of the dead men and watched the people fighting around. I could hear the rapid beating of their hearts. I could smell the adrenaline rush. I returned to fight when a group of knights attacked me.I put my sw
King Suxx It's been a long time since I last saw this cruel king in front of me. King Hydrae used to be my friend when we were younger. I don't know what happened to him. He turned beastly after he was crowned the king of Aqua Edis. I can still remember when he promised he wouldn't follow the cruelty of his father. But he turned out to be crueler. His eyes reflect someone else. He's not the same Hydrae I used to play with when we were kids.***Hunter I have long been waiting for this day to come. This is the day that I will take vengeance for the murder of my kind. I learned a lot of secrets since I went back here. Now, I understand why Hydrae and Khan Awae wanted me dead. Thanks to Ruth for not killing me. Now that the four guardians of lights are complete, my duty is fulfilled. Completing them was the mere reason for my existence. If I die today in this war, I can say that my life was not a waste.***Conrad I keep a close w
"Ah!"Everyone turned their heads to the man who shouted in pain. It was King Suxx. He was kneeling on the ground with one hand supporting his other wounded hand. The tip of King Hydrae's sword is pointing at his throat."Father!" Akira shouted. She ran towards him but was stopped by General Thud's sharp and shining sword."Akira!" Connor and Conrad shouted in chorus."It's now your end, my dear friend, King Suxx," King Hydrae said while grinning. He playfully glided the sword on King Suxx's neck. "But, since you were my friend back in the old times. I can give you another chance if you agree with me," he grinned."What kind of agreement would a person like you offer me? Don't ever try to bribe me for your greedy intention, Hydrae," King Suxx gritted his teeth.Hydrae laughed. "Look at you. Still trying to protect your people even at the rim of death. I'll give you a clap for your heroism," he teased and slowly presse
With her strong sense of sight, Akira can see the source of the strong force even if it's still afar. A wave of lights and sounds directed her into it. It's a tall and fearsome man. His prominent abdominal muscles are visible on his shirtless upper torso. His lower clothes are ragged. He is barefooted...and his face resembles someone she knows. Does he look like Conrad or Connor?Her thoughts were stopped by a strong force caused by the stranger's movements as he draws nearer them. The ground trembled and those knights who were frozen by Shateira fell into the ground."Someone is coming!" Princess Melissa exclaimed. She can also see the man. "He looks like a monster."That was true. The man's veins are bulging all over his body. His expressionless eyes indicate forthcoming wrath."Let's see what you can do with him," King Hydrae grinned. "The strongest weapon Aqua Edis has made for decades," he said while a flash of evilness glowed in his eyes
Akira took the war seriously. She did everything she could to defend her father's kingdom. Of course, to defend the whole land of Ehtrehto Edis. Her comrades did the same.They were all halted by the swift and effortless action of Coel in killing the Ignis Hella knights. He can kill them by just smashing them with his bare hand. He is so ruthless and cold-blooded."How can we stop your father?" Prince Matias asked Conrad and Connor."He's no longer our father. That's maybe his body, but not his soul!" Connor replied amidst striking his sword."My brother is right," Conrad agreed. "There's only one way to stop him. That's killing him. But taking into consideration his current ability, I think that is not easy," he added."He's going to the king!" Shateira exclaimed while pointing in a certain direction.They all looked in the direction she's pointing. They saw Coel making his way towards King Suxx. They felt alarmed.&n
The brothers Conrad and Connor saw it all. "What can we do to stop him?" Connor asked his brother. "I don't know," Conrad replied. "Maybe we should fight him," he said. The two nodded at each other and run towards their father or the monster, rather. Conrad face his father and Connor stood behind. "I don't know who you are inside my father's body. But to tell you honestly, I will not hesitate to tear that skin," Conrad spoke. "Conrad," Hunter called him besides coughing. "Be careful. Your father is powerful and is now fatal," he said. "He's not our father," Connor said with clenched teeth. "Fools," King Hydrae smirked. "Coel didn't die. Thud took his body and offered his soul to Yquino. That monster is your father," he grinned. Conrad and Connor were dumbfounded by the King's confession. They looked at each other with confusion. Conrad spoke, "That's impossible! We buried his body after finding him lifel
Akira's POV I can sense great energy coming from a certain direction. By the scent, I could tell who they are. Peter, Russ, and Lang-Mao. Why were they together? Where have they been? It doesn't matter. What's important now is to save this idiot Connor. I quickly leaped forward and grabbed his body before fleeing into the air. Thankfully, I was able to do so before Coel's forceful smash hit us. I landed behind Princess Shateira who was silently observing the aura of the expected newcomers. 'You can sense them too, can't you?' I asked her through the mind link. She just nodded without glancing at me. I know she can also tell the turmoil that is about to happen. The pungent odor of the bloody ground adds to the thrill I am feeling. But, I can also feel horror deep inside. Whose life shall be snatched later? I looked at Connor who is still in my arms. He is unconscious. I raised my hand to touch his wounded face but was stopped by Conrad's voice. "Connor," he ca
General Thud saw that one of the guardians of light is exiting. He grinned, it would be easy for them to win the fight now."Go and follow the Aero Edis Princess," he told one Aquan knight. "Report to me everything that she will do," he added."Yes, your majesty."Prince Lance who was near overheard them. He glanced in the direction they were looking at. 'Shateira,' he murmured her name. He heard Prince Matias call her Princess of Aero Edis earlier. Now, this general of Aqua Edis called her Aero Edis Princess again. He doesn't know that he has a cousin. He doesn't know that there is a princess in their bloodline. This is making him curious.'Where is she going?' He asked himself. A plan entered his mind. He looked around. He saw that Thud resumed fighting. When he was sure that no one was looking at him, he sneaked and followed Shateira.They are now inside the dense forest. The Aquan knight sent by Thud saw him following and trie
Akira gave Marcus a serious stare as if she m's warning him from interfering in her battle. Then, she turned her head in Thud's direction. "Are you ready to die?" General Thud smirked. "You are underestimating me, daughter of Farah," his eyes darkened upon mentioning her name. Akira became agitated after hearing him mention her late mother's name. Her jaw and lips tensed and her fists were clenched. She recalled how they were tortured to death. The screaming of the immortals, the fire that burns them, and the sight of the girl who was beheaded in front of her during her dream. It was real, she knew it was real. Her teeth gritted and she roared, "You!" She faced and pointed the sword at Thud. "You're a serpent! Your life means death to everyone in Ehtrehto Edis. You must die!" Thud knew this would come. So, he positioned himself and readied for her attack. "Bitchy little immortal," he sneered. Deep inside he is frightened of how Akira moves right now. He watched her running fastly
Lang-Mao smiled bitterly as she watched Akira transforming into the highest level of immortality. It's been a long while since she last saw an immortal reaching this level. The very first guardian of lights was the one she witnessed last. The poor immortal didn't survive after her body surrendered from so much power running in her veins. But then, she saved the Ehtrehto Edis from Yquino, the king of evilness. Lang-Mao knew this day would come. However, this is not yet the end. Ehtrehto Edis still has a long way to go through. Akira's POV I ran towards my father's side and threw a sword at General Thud who was able to dodge my assault. "Father," I called him in a shaking voice. He raised his hand and caressed my face. "Y-You are so lovely, my Amara," he tried to tell me while gasping for breath. Blood gushes out of his mouth as he tries to speak. "I, I always loved you, my daughter." "I know," I told him. My spirit is shattering inside me. My world fell apart as I watch him slow
General Thud saw that one of the guardians of light is exiting. He grinned, it would be easy for them to win the fight now."Go and follow the Aero Edis Princess," he told one Aquan knight.
