CHAPTER 27 - ARTH
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Sweat trickled down Arth’s forehead, down to his face and neck. He couldn’t stand all these books piled up on the desk while he’d been forcing himself to read the one opened to him. It made him recall his sessions with Maester Irvine when he’s still in the castle. Books had been too much for him. Reading had been too much for him.
“I can’t …” Arth said under his breath, wiping the sweat on his forehead. The air inside the den had stayed hot, far from the weather in Glacia. “This isn’t working for me, Eli.”
Seated at the opposite chair, Elicantris pulled her head up from reading her book. “If you really desire to join us on our missions, Your Highness, you have to know our enemies very well. Part of it is trying to understand where they got their massive strength and power from. This applies most to the Ka’erns.”
“You mentio

Tristan had no idea what to do. He found no trace of the orb’s presence when he had roamed the entire ship. He’d spent the whole night searching, but hopeless it was. Perhaps the orb was asleep. Perhaps someone had kept it inside his pocket. Perhaps Tristan’ senses were yet to be in the condition of tracking the orb, considering what he’d gotten in the aftermath of his battle with the Pirate Lord. He’d also searched the Pirate Lord’s cabin, chests, cabinets … everything. It was all empty, as all his possessions were in the enormous sack of loot. And the orb had not been there inside.Tristan leaned over the taffrail, glancing at the endless blue ocean gleaming beneath the bright noon sun. His cuts and bruises still hurt, but his disappointment to himself had brought the most pain, tightening his chest and throat. He could not protect anything or anyone in this world. It was Arth’s mistake tha
The Rise of the Frost Dragons (Blue Triangle Series #2) CHAPTER 29 - KAEL
The market square in the Lower Ring proved as lively as a festive night. Kael and Lucas, the upper half of their faces hidden under the shadows of their hood, joined the crowds along with the buzzing noise of the warm air. Above them, moonlight bled in the night sky.Kael’s suspicions of Lucas grew since they left the Grand Mage’s estate. It was Harith’s prized possession that made him curious of what Lucas could be attempting to achieve, given his freedom. The man always had hidden intentions out of every external goal he’s trying to show. And Kael doubted it was all for the good.Tents and stalls lined up on four sides of the square, with the people inside roaming along the line of stores like ants. Kael followed Lucas as the man seemed to know where he’s going. But this better be important … as Kael could not afford to waste any more time when Janshai and Luna had been missing.
The Rise of the Frost Dragons (Blue Triangle Series #2) CHAPTER 30 - ARTH
A sense of fear haunted Arth’s thoughts. Was it the right choice? Leading the Snowsong Alliance would’ve been the very last thing he’d want, and the least expected thing he thought he would do. But the upcoming threat and the General’s absence had forced all responsibilities and the possible consequences into Arth’s hands. He feared he would fail them.Orange thunder flashed amidst the darkness of the bluish sky. Arth watched all armed men pack the last stocks they’d need for their leave. The hot wind smelled of dread. He glanced up towards the high mountains surrounding the encampment, wondering how long they had got before the enemies would arrive.Elicantris stepped outside the flap of the den and stood behind Arth.“I don’t understand,” Arth said, staring at the peak of the mountains. “You said the encampment has never been tracked and found ov

Tristan’s thoughts had traveled far away, far from the lone ship that crawled over the surface of the calm waters. The words of the pirate had kept on echoing in his mind. His fellow pirate, who had pocketed the orb, now rested beneath the ocean depths, and perhaps devoured by the sea monsters the men had been speaking about in front of him now.He had been seated on a chair beside Lewis, along with the men and their leader, Bow, all gathered in a circle with a huge, bright lamp at the center. Tristan glanced at each of the men’s faces, shone by the yellow lamp. He had not been sure if he could judge them as thieves, like the pirates they had defeated. Then his eyes went to Bow. He could not tell the man’s intentions just by seeing that unreadable face. He had to speak with him privately.A cup of ale was offered to him. When Tristan looked, it was from Lewis beside him. “You’re a silent one … a dee
The Rise of the Frost Dragons (Blue Triangle Series #2) CHAPTER 32 - KAEL
The morning light kissed the floor through the cold windows. The air smelled of tea. It came from Lucas drinking while he stared at the small scroll on the table; a scroll that Kael had never noticed someone giving to him. Lucas had his chin shaven, his hair cut, and his body bathed last night when they arrived in the hideout, a few hours before dawn. Kael had attended to his wounds and bruises but barely had enough sleep.The previous night, the two had been found in the dark alleys by the knights from the citadel after Lucas’ business with Merit. Someone must’ve shared information about their whereabouts. Harith. That mage could never be trusted at all. Fortunate they were that they managed to escape by climbing above the structures. It had been easier for them to move over the roofs while they could see and be aware of any threats below.“Nothing will arrive sooner with you pacing around the room while peeking thro
The Rise of the Frost Dragons (Blue Triangle Series #2) CHAPTER 33 - ARTH
It was the two of them against tens of thousands. Breath racing, Arth sped through the skies, chased by thousands of Ma’rogs; flying beasts mounted by Gunturs. His blood ran wild through his veins as if they’d burst. The Ma’rogs had proved to have powerful wings as Arth struggled from keeping up his pace towards the south.Only Ma’rogs could go after them if they headed east, and so the plan was to divert their attention while the seed that Elicantris had planted on the encampment had still yet to grow. The seed was their hope to hold off the army, and that’s when they could regroup with the others in Bron’s Cave.But the plan didn’t turn outright. Arth had underestimated the speed of the beasts chasing him, so he had to work his dragon wings as hard as he could, and it’s causing his blood to run mad, like a wild current of a river.Arth thought he saw countless arrows flying t

“Drava … that’s where your father is now,” Tristan remembered Bow saying last night. “We’ll head to the country after we’re done with our business with the Lord.” Tristan didn’t know what to feel after hearing about his father. So the man was alive, indeed. And he’d never even thought of returning to his home, to see if his family was still alive? Anger boiled inside Tristan’s chest. He vowed to make the man pay … for leaving them … for not being there to protect them. Surpine and their mother, Pauline, would’ve been alive if the father was there, while Tristan had been gone making a livelihood for the family. An old pain tightened his chest as he recalled the bloody scene in his house after his day of work. It was Surpine’s naming day, and he had thought of using his savings to buy a decent meal for their dinner. He bought her sister’s favorites; honeyed biscuits, a roasted whole chicken, and a frui
The Rise of the Frost Dragons (Blue Triangle Series #2) CHAPTER 35 - KAEL
Kael watched as Lucas collected a small amount of blood mark on the floor from the chamber, where Janshai had been kidnapped. It was dry and solid, as it had stayed for over three days. But the tiny tong managed to get the blood mark out of the cold surface before containing it in a small glass vial.Kael had not much knowledge about the art of blood magic … as his long years of magic training had only put him into the Path of Ice … as well as the Path of Light. Perhaps Lucas, too, hadn’t known much about it, which was why he had to use the disc to track Janshai using blood.It was an hour afternoon when the three of them gathered at the circular table, where Lucas had laid a scroll that depicted the map of Glacia.“I will expect my request to arrive this afternoon,” Lucas said. “Then we shall begin tracking the kid. In the meantime,” he laid both hands on the table, “We&rsqu

A huge explosion shook the area of the Ashenvale forest.“What is this power?” Maester David was staying in the big tree watching General Kael and his student, Arth battle.He could see Arth at a disadvantage after taking many hits and blows by the mighty sword of the General. Every attack of the general and every block of Arth was slowly draining his strength.General Kael was still holding his sword one hand while Arth was already panting and wounded.“Just yield, Arth. You can’t defeat me.” The general said.“Even with my last breath, I will never yield.” Arth replied catching his breath. His brown cloak was already shed with blood and his lower ankle injured. Soil and dust are already on his face and his yellow hair.“Then I’ll force that out of your mouth.” The general quickly touched the ground with his hand and looked at Arth narrowly. “You’ll regret this.”The ground began to shake suddenly. Huge root vines came out from the ground and extended towards Arth with speed.Arth he

The plan changed. Because of the chase, I was led to east from Casterfall Kingdom. Arth thought while riding his horse in a snow plain. I guess the best route for me is Frostwood village. I want to see Chief again. He passed through big stones covered with snow. From there, snow began to fall lightly.I wonder how Grand Master Tera is doing. The knights from Ice Crown Glacier are really scary. Arth saw a hawk flying over the big stones. But the one who saved me… who is he? I heard the Grand Knight call him Grand Magus. His magic is purely immense. I want to learn those skills someday. The hawk landed over the other big stone in his left side. Arth noticed that the hawk was wearing a black scarf collar on its neck.“What in the world…” Arth felt something strange about the hawk. Then, the hawk began to cry out suddenly.Wait a sec… Arth realized that it was not a wild bird. “It’s calling someone!”He whipped the rope of his horse to run fast. Then, he began to hear running footsteps

The village bell rang in the cold and windy mountain top. The noise of the women and men calling and shouting filled the whole atmosphere with intensity and fear. After a few moments, the doors and windows of the houses were closed and locked tightly. The men which appeared to be hunters gathered towards the center village.The village was located on top of the mountains and built above the stones on the sides. Stones on the mountains have been formed to make stairs/roads from the base to the village on top. It was almost the end of afternoon and the skies are getting dark.“Sir Kael! They already reached the southern gate in the base of the hills.” One hunter wearing black jacket approached Kael who was walking towards the scout tower. Kael walked towards the wooden stairs up to the scouts. He went to see what’s below the mountains. He could clearly see hundreds of blue caped knights standing on the base of the mountains.“Quick, tell the people to pack and go all the way towards the

“So, the Arth that you’ve talked about with Chief Gregor is the rightful heir to the frozen throne?” Tristan said with a loud voice. “Keep it down. Someone might hear us.” Maester David replied as they jumped from their horses and walked towards the entrance to the dark woods. They stopped and the maester pointed at the woods, “We have to reach the city as soon as possible. And this is the fastest way for us.”Tristan looked at the dark entrance and he could hear the echoes of the sound from the deep woods. “I can definitely sense many things here.” He said as he narrowed his eyes. Snow was falling from the white sky and a slight cold wind breezed through the two.“These woods are lived by wild beasts. I can sense them too.” Maester David replied. “No, it’s not only the beasts. I can feel something else. A group of people, I guess?” Tristan told the maester. Then he shook his head, “Never mind. Let’s go now, maester.”They began walking on the snowy path towards the entrance. “Stay al

After the tricky escape of Arth and Robert, they arrived in the secret tunnel of Casterfall kingdom in which Grand Master Tera told them before. I’m back here, again. Arth thought. The last time Arth was there was when he ran away and chased by the knights. The two entered the tunnel and it was pitch-black. They could hear the water running through the tunnel as they walked on the side. Robert casted an Illumination in a lesser energy to light up the tunnel way. “How was the academy you got into with Bran?” Arth suddenly asked while looking down in the stone way as he walked.“It was great. There are lots of things that I learned there.” Robert replied. “But Bran was still the same. He never learns.”Arth smiled as he shook his head. “I envy you. You got to learn a lot. It must be so fun.”“Why? What about your private trainings with Grand Master Tera?” Robert turned to him while walking.“We only did some training to build my stamina. And he only taught me one skill.” Arth replied.“

Now that I got these knights away from my village, I better think about my escape now. Kael told himself as he was sitting on a horse behind Grand Knight Bryle with his hands chained. He realized that there were also eight knights in a formation with them. One in front was a banner man carrying the flag of the Ice Crown. Kael and the grand knight were in the center and the other seven knights surrounded them as they travelled on their horses. I can’t fight them but I just need to distract them only if I have my sword with me. Using just magic is not enough to distract them. Kael thought as he looked at the pine trees covered in snow they pass through. He turned to the Grand Knight’s back and looked down to his elegant sword. An enchanted sword, huh? There’s clearly no chance of fighting them. “So, you’re Kael? The son of king Kaelas?” Grand Knight Bryle said smiling. “I never thought you’re alive.” Kael remained quiet after what the knight said.“I once served him. To be honest, I h

Tristan quickly walked passed through two small houses towards the big white tent ahead. There were wooden benches outside the tent which are for the people accompanying their sick or injured patient. The chief directly saw maester David wearing blue cloak sitting in the bench on the right side impatiently waiting. He approached the maester quickly.“Maester David?” Tristan called while he was walking towards him. The maester turned and was relieved to see him. Maester David stood and shook hands with the chief.“Tristan, it’s been how many years.” The maester said.“15 years actually,” the chief replied. “What are you doing here? You’re supposed to be in Ice Crown right? And what’s with the elf?” He asked with his eyebrows meeting.“I’ve got bad news. There’s a war coming.” The maester said worriedly as he sat down.“A war? What are you talking about?” the chief replied.“King Muradin will declare war with the elves if they don’t give what he asks. He sent me there to negotiate but t

“What happened to the kid?” Lord Nicholas was standing in the tiled path towards the entrance to the high garden. He was in his white sleeved clothing and brown pants. Grand Master Tera was there in the entrance of the garden looking at the fountains. The sky was cloudy but there was no snow falling. The snow that covered the grounds and plants made it seem that snow just fell earlier.Grand Master Tera looked above and saw the high towers of the castle. He sighed instead of turning to Lord Nicholas. “He’s gone.”“To where? The knights from Ice Crown Glacier became frustrated that they didn’t found the boy. You said he was there in his room?” The lord said.The Grand master turned to the lord, “I already said it, my lord. He’s gone. I don’t know how or why.”“And you were gone also by the time the knights searched his room. Is there something you’re not telling me, master Tera?” Lord Nicholas looked him in the eye as he walked towards him.“I was in my office, my lord. I just continu

The green woods and mountains of Ashenvale have spread throughout its entire region. The scent of the husky woods and the sound of the birds made the entire environment a natural and peaceful to be in.Maester Kael, wearing a blue cloak and carrying his valyrian sword, have gone through the green woods. The soft soil of the earth gave the maester a comfortable travel on it.The place seemed to be so magical. A strong spiritual energy can be felt by the maester in to the woods.The wisps have always protected their forest and brought life in it. Maester Kael thought as he walked in the pathway through the forest.He saw different friendly animals on his way through the woods. He encountered stags, birds, monkeys, and a hippo. Such beauty the forest holds. I have to get to the Guardian of the Forest as soon as possible. The maester thought.He crossed a shallow river ahead and jumped on the small rocks. After reaching on the other side, he saw a yellow butterfly flying towards him. The
