2021-10-10 13:25:26Kabal, Kabal, that's he's name. Now, I can't see through his mind. I don't know exactly why but I feel like I should watch him at least throughout today's training.
***
Kabal sat at the wooden table working away with the bow and arrow laid in pieces. Beside him, Dalaine, his new patner alongside with other new recruits of the legion sat. They were all hunched over their weapons, hard at working on carving the bows and tightening the strings. According to their trainer, “a warrior who knows how to strng his bow is sure of a good fight. Your sting determines whether your arrow wouldh hit its target or not. Weapons break in battle, break on jouney, you must know how to repair them within a inch of a second. The greatest warrior is the greatest blacksmith, cobbler, carpenter, mender of all broken things"
The trainer, a young knight, walked through the rows of boys, leaning over, examining each one's work. " If you can't repair your weapon, you ar

That night, after a warm bath, I slumped on my bed to sleep only to discover I was laying on flesh. I knew who it was already, Emiliar, she was beaming at me, thought I got scared.~~My love, how long have you been here?~~ I sent to her. It's really been a long time since I used my gifts to speak to anyone except Luna anyway, cause that's the only way I can speak to her afterall."Commander Claudia in a white nightie, How you doing?" She said with all sarcasm in her voice. I bit my lip, a weak chuckle escaped from my lips. " you punk, that isn't funny, not worth a darn clap"" You not hungry? Let's get something to eat."I sent for a maid and in no time our meal was served.After eating, we sat on the cushion to talk. My head on her lap, she was gently stoking my hair. Luna sat on the edge of the chair licking my toes. That girl, I feel guilty sometimes, I barely have time for her nowadays. Life can't be any good without these two by my side." Ho

After training that day, I invited Kabal over to my inner resting room to talk-- I had some questions for him. The little boy I rescued some weeks ago, now looks like a warrior.He's skilled and swift, that piqued my interest and now I'm ready to listen to him."Good day sire" he curtsized "you sent for me""Sit" he sat on a stool a distance away. "Tell me about you---I mean how you got here.""I'm honored sire" he bowed. " i got here as a slave when the demons took over our part of the white coven. They were able to get break our shield, cause they got the key. Some of us were killed, my uncle, the king and my father was killed. Though, i was still a toddler but my mother told me all i know about that day. We were forced to take the mark sire.""You mean you're a witch" I never expected demons to be so naive... to the extent of harbouring witches, thinking enslaving them would make them quit fighting. Apparently, that has worked but not to all of them

“EVERYONE FREEZE! LEAVE HER!”Slowly, they eased away from me. It's him —Julian. What the hell is he doing here? I searched around remembering Luna —then I saw her at his feet. Our gaze meet and she came running to me. Naughty girl, she went to call for help— but why Julian? I stood up from the cold ground. The demons bowed as he moved closer and I flushed with embarrassment. He held my hand and raised it.“she is your leader!” he yelled. “she's Commander Claudia, the new army head.”They all fell on their faces. One of them, looking like a leader spoke. “oh milady, we are very sorry. We never knew it was you. We've been locked down here all our lives. We've heard a lot about you but we've never me

We sat on horses at the entrance of the castle. The king commanded a grand entry like it was a very important person visiting. Julian's cousin, how important is he? There are a lot of family ties I still do not know of in this territory. One of which is the one king's nephew who the almighty devil takes so important. Julian being the only child of this same almighty, the owner of thousand mistresses, is still a shock to me. I heard rumours once that he kills his mistresses once they take in, how cruel? It's too bad to be true but if it is, then I think I know why he would do that. The smart king wants to protect the seat for himself, his own family line only. He doesn't want rivalry between brother or betrayal due to jealousy. He's really a wise father. He must have been through hell while Julian was gone. Maybe not...I can't say.Our visitors arrived, hundreds of horses and horsemen adorned with weapons of all sort. Their leader, I suppose the cousin, shook hands with us. He

“ There are many ways the southern province can be attacked, some soldiers would be sent as spies into the territory. The night before the way, others will stay at the four gates. I'll lead north, Julian south and you will go to the castle, Claudia, to face the king yourself. I hear you have all the powers in the world. By the way it's the king's order.” Raleigh said.We were having a meeting in my study. The training rooms were too occupied so we had to have it here in my chamber.“you will inform the soldiers Raleigh and prepare them. Thank goodness your here. I and Claudia would prepare the legion—make all weapons ready.”Julian added. This meeting isn't making sense to me.“ Besides all the soldiers should be out. I hear your father has a very strong army too.” I addressed Raleigh. “Every warrior in this castle should be at war, even those at the dungeon. Some of which would be at the walls of the castle

It's quite amazing that Julian took all that happened that night seriously. He saw the both of us walk out of the hall. We didn't get the chance to say anything because the king's messenger interrupted. Though, I'm still very curious and also glad that Julian got really ioo9 jealous. After a stress filled day at work, I forced my eyelids shut but sleep was really far away from me. I had a lot on my mind and I was expecting someone. Emiliar, that witch promised to always be there for me. Where the hell is she now?! But I'm also happy she isn't here because right now I'm finding it hard to sleep, thinking of him. His stare, his smell, his taste, his touch, I just can't think straight. I feel like I've gotten myself into something I can't deal with.I heard a knock on my door, it was Raleigh. What could have brought him to my chamber this late today in the night? I remembered the look on Jul

“ Katrienair, what are you doing out this late?” he questioned when he reached me. “ I should ask you the same.” Then I remembered someone was missing. Luna, I left her with Raleigh. She was asleep anyway but I feel kind of incomplete without her. “ it's too risky for a lady to be out this late. You don't even have your badge on. How are you going to be recognized that you aren't an ordinary citizen.” “ Never thought of that” “Where are you going?” “No where.” I said. “ just wanted to stroll. I mean study the map. And you?” “ sa

That pervert! What would she be thinking now? I miss the days when I could access her thoughts at a glance.“ huh...” there's no other option than to lie. “ he missed doors. That jerk! He was drunk, he came in here and slept off. I was scared...why I sent for you. I had to leave the whole chamber for him. ”“ oh that's bad.” she jeered. “ You should learn to keep your doors shut at night...at least to prevent drunkards from barging in. Where did you spend the night then?”“No where really. Just hung around the garden. ” I yawned and sprawled on the bed. “ Me ...so tired.”She caressed my temple. “ oh baby...catch some sleep. Today's gonna be loaded with lotta work.” My eyelids snapped open.“lest i forget! Emiliar, you are training today.” she arched a brow. “i have a plan. I'll make coffee.” I jumped out of bed.“you're no

"Deal?"Roger asked."The men would have to fight fist then."Alistair replied.Julian stepped out, Raleigh also. To Julian, the fight was for a different cause. Raleigh had tried to poison him the night before, he hadn't exposed him because he knew deep down that it would be nicer if kept it for another day. The day came rather too quickly. Raleigh also was eager, with Julian out of the way, his plan would go out just well and he'll have the whole demonic territory to himself, probably the whole world."I've always waited for this day"Raleigh muttered, am evil grin on his face."Then go on." Julian's expression was rather bland.The two charged at each other. Julian held his lance to a perfect aim while dodging Raleigh's spear. I never expected the fight to be so short and easy. The spear caught Raleigh right in his chest, below his heart though. That could not make him die but at it he got weak. Julian walked over his body and brought his spear down to his heart. Bloo

"You will rot in hell!"He yelled and turned to leave. Alistair stopped him."Who deserves to rot in hell Roger?"She spoke into the conch. "You have just one day to make a choice. It's either you come down here to surrender to us or we break into your walls."Roger laughed, sounded like it rooted from some bottled forces in his chest. "You that kid! Let's see who lasts one day."He walked away.I faced Alistair. She just made the wrong decision. Giving Roger even a second can change the way things are going."You know Roger would never surrender to us.""I don't intend to keep him either"Alistair said. "Even if he surrenders, I won't let that devil live, never. It's better to catch the devil unawares. We are going in now."I smiled. Alistair's smart. I guess you have to be a demon to fight a demon. I'm proud of her."So, how do we get in?"I asked. "The soldiers can't climb. They won't be caught unawares then."Alistair nudged me by my side. "You

"Next, little bit of rain."Alistair said on getting towards the castle, then the rain began. This time, chilly waters dropped.We saw that the walls have been shut tightly with everything Roger possessed. It's the first time in Roger's history, he got suddenly scared of war. It isn't a war anymore or is it?"We're not burning down the castle. Let's go back."I only followed her command. We turned back, going back to our comrades. Looking over the wretch we've created, I could not help but feel pity. I, Katrienair, that weird kid in school, had a part in these. It's unimaginable. I've really grown up and things have really changed. I remembered Arkishair and muttered a little prayer for her. Alistair noticed, her next words proved it."She'll be proud of you.""And you too."Alistair shook her head. "I don't think she would remember."We got to the spot the white coven's army stood, they was massive celebration in the air. They were rejoicing because our

The number of Roger's troop seemed limitless and no matter how many we killed, it seemed futile. For every hundred that was killed, two hundred appeared. All the while the horizon continued to flood with them, row after row, division after division, crammed up like a million worker ants. They were able to stop the fire, they pushed off the flaming soldiers away an took up new positions. The death of several thousands of their men didn't even put a dent on their forces.Yet at our side, every death made an impact, though we didn't have many. That kept my hope alive. We were already far away from the hill where the war started. Our army was still very much in the spirit. I was proud, they had sustained injuries but that didn't stop them. The key was just the best. It was killing four men at a time. I swinged it around while moving and ducking at the same time. At the corner of my eye, I heard a scream. I had less time to linger on that sight because I was being attacked from ever

I stood on the top of one of the hills of the northern province of the demons territory, my comrades by my side.The demons' soldiers were already on the horizon. We planned to go meet them at the castle but the sudden change of event didn't matter anyway. All around, men were busy preparing their weapons. Archers took positions, thousands of them, arrows and bows also ready. If they want it on this hill, so be it. Thousands of more men took positions with Spears, young legion members with slings. Thousands of men beneath the hill had swords and Shields and every weapon imaginable. Israel was giving commands, with Alistair, looking stronger by my side. I felt optimistic. This is the war I've lived for. With the Key wounded in my hands, I already knew what the results of the war would be. It would be a hard one though.I looked again over the horizon and reminded myself of what was coming. The demons has never been defeated on any battle. I forced myself to believe that this ti

There was a feast at the castle. The usual kind of feast Roger has whenever a big war is coming. Julian was in his chamber with kabal, teaching him the things he needed to know, when a guard informed him about the feast and that the king asks that he must be there. Kabal had mix feelings about it but he could not stop his master from attending the feast. Julian instructed him to turn off the lights and go to bed but Kabal could not. He felt something was off. Maybe something really was off. He left the chamber, though late, he had lost sight of Julian. He walked round the castle, searching for the exact place the feast was holding but didn't find it. It's a private feast so it wasn't taken at the assembly hall. Frustrated, he retraced his steps back to the chamber.He was stopped by whisperings from a room, the royal kitchen. His curiosity led on and he decided to have a peek through the half closed window.He saw Raleigh conversing with the head nurse. He had to strain hi

Sylvia curtsied on seeing Israel walk into her apartment. She had stayed in, brooding since their last talk."Sylvia, how are you doing?"Isreal took a seat on the couch."I'm okay Milord."She answered."You told the head of maids you weren't."Israel haf asked of her from the head maid since he didn't see her thought-out his preparations for Karen and her company.Sylvia muttered an apology."Have you remembered?"He asked. Sylvia gave a solemn nod."Then I have no choice" Israel said. "We have a big war tomorrow. The chosen one and her comrades have arrived. You need your memory because you would be at war tomorrow and you need to remember your fighting skill at least. I can't leave you here in he castle. It's not safe.

I decided to go check up on Alistair. Ethan was exiting the room when I walked in. I saw Alistair on her bed, head buried in her pillow. I got curious. What happened here?"Alistair." I joined her. "Hei, it's me."I removed the pillow from her head. I saw her relax. She opened a drawer and gave me a photoframe. I was stunned. There was a couple in it. They looked very young and beautiful. The young woman had long curly golden hair, her green eyes stood out in the picture. The young man was like the most handsome being I've ever seen, I had to remind myself it's just a picture. He had flashy blue eyes and perfect black hair."Our parents. You never met them but..."I was so shocked on hearing this that for a moment I doubted my ears."What did you say?""That's mom and dad. You know them now."She yawned."Oh my...they are stunning. Ah..."I held it to my heart, fantasizing about them feeling my heart beat."I'll find them. I will.""Is there anyt

" Is that Alistair, the first princess of the white coven." Israel shrieked on seeing us. Even his guards, wore a surprised look. I took a glance at Alistair. Well, her expression was bland but I could tell she wasn't enjoying the publicity.Isreal walked up to us as we dismounted from our horse. He bowed to Alistair. She only nodded."Oh my goodness Milady, we all thought you were dead.""I am."Alistair finally spoke. "I mean, for now. You and your guards should keep this as a secret for now. I'm not ready to reveal myself to the public, okay?""Okay, Milady"Wow, Alistair's perfect!*We walked along the aisle, Israel leading the way. He looked less frigid than he was the last time. He was happy, though when he asked for the chosen one, I said I had no idea. He was surprised I could lift the key, I guess that shut him up. He said he had prepared a table for us but we insisted we needed to rest. It's no good time for eating, is it?He
