“Xerra, that way to register,” Daraton told me with a gesture of his hand.

I nodded and followed him. My sister went with Zulika, Oleifa, and the others from our tribe. Five of my fellow Aigleans came with me to register our names for the recruitment. There was already a long line when we got there.

The white-haired being who was about in his hundreds looked at me when it was my turn. He turned to the grave-looking being who stood behind him. He wore an army uniform and judging by the authoritative way he carried himself, I knew he was a high-ranking official. I looked at the standing lapel of his uniform and I was right. He was the general of the Elite Aryan Army—General Isoog from what I heard was his name. I never thought that I’d meet him at this early stage of the Banatan. Then, our eyes met. I almost saw the recognition reflected in his eyes but it faded right away. He hid his emotion well. I didn’t even think about probing into his thoughts as the older being was

    Everyone settled down and listened to the official. Luick sidestepped and let the Army General talk. He caught my eyes and held them for a moment before he began to speak.“So, here are the rules, warriors. You can use any weapon you like. There’s just that little twist this year. When your name is called, you get your neck and go up on that ring.” We all looked at the ring that was already set up outside as well as different weapons that were arranged nearby. There were super guns. Yes, high-tech ones that could maim someone permanently. There were others that were not guns. Yes, I meant that blade family and others. They were short and long, with varied designs, sizes and weights.“And then, another three of you will be randomly called to gang up the first one who’s called out,” General Isoog added. “After fifteen dots, if none of you is able to defeat the first man, you just gave him the chance of a lifetime to join the army! He’ll automatical

    The three Aryans simultaneously attacked me but I was faster than them. I kicked the chest of the second opponent in front of me who was holding the axe, sending him out of the ring flying. He landed on the ground hard, with a loud thud and face down. I rolled down to evade the sword and the spear that attacked from each side. I willed that Ponpon would grow longer. I heard the audience gasp.Ponpon smirked when he became longer than before. It was the first time that it happened. He seemed to look excited with his new self.“I’ll make them regret they joined the Banatan, Xerra,” Ponpon snickered like a maniac.I stared at him with my steely blue eyes and smiled at him. I parried both the sword and spear and swept the feet of my two enemies. One was hit but the other was quicker than the first one. He managed to dodge my attack. His sword was now threatening to slash my neck. However, I bent backward with a front kick and I sent him flying out of the ring.

    The stranger pushed me against the wall and leaned closer to me, trapping my body in the process. I felt the heat emanating from his body, and his scent invading my senses. His breath fanned my face and his green eyes looked darker as they were never before. Although excitement ran throughout my body because of his nearness, I tried to ignore it at this current situation. However, it was hard for me to do it since his lips crushed into mine with heated urgency.I couldn’t resist even if I tried because my heart was reaching out to him and I wanted more. Just when I kissed him back, he stopped and looked into my eyes probingly.“You could’ve been killed out there!” He said through gritted teeth as he scolded me. He was heaving.I blinked and frowned at him. “Why are so concerned about me? This is what I’ve intended to do for months now!” I hissed. My eyes looked sharp as I gazed at him.“I should’ve stopped you!” he said and sighed. He let go of me.Sudd

    Shahrae’s hand was holding mine so tightly. I was talking to the guard at the palace gate, which was made of cirthum, thus the blue color of it. It was right after we buried our mother that we went straight to the palace by a recula. We truly wanted to know what had happened to our mother.“We’re here to see the King,” I stated in a controlled tone.“The King is indisposed of at the moment,” the guard answered coolly. His eyes held no emotions as he looked back at me.I smirked. I looked at the guard sharply. “He’s indisposed of? Why? Because his Queen just died? Does that mean he’s mourning?” I asked sarcastically.The guard blinked. He swallowed when he saw my eyes turn into steely blue. My skin started to turn blue as well. But when my sister held me more tightly, I controlled myself and I turned back to my Aryan self.“Is there a problem here?” An elite warrior in uniform asked the gua

    I dragged myself back to the present. I watched Jegosh and Morgeno go up on the ring. If I were weak-hearted, I couldn’t go on watching them fight on the ring, trying to kill each other. I just hoped that either of the two would give up so that he wouldn’t lose his life in this match.I glanced at Zelian. He was looking like he could murder someone right now. And that someone was preferably the King. I saw his eyes went up to where the King was seated. Then, he looked at Morgeno and Jegosh who were now fighting each other. The other two opponents were already out of the ring and busy recuperating themselves. I could only guess that those two were also elite warriors by just observing how fast they could heal themselves.Right. That stranger was telling the truth.Jegosh pushed Morgeno back forcefully and hit his chest with a kick. The two did not use any weapon at the moment as they were lying on the marble floor of the ring. It was so obvious that they had no inte

    I threw my poniard toward the third being who lost that ball and hit him in the chest right through his heart, just before he slid out of the ring. As dots passed by, it was getting harder for me to breathe. I tried to revitalize myself with my violet aura but it didn’t work. I willed to change into my more powerful self, which was of my father’s heritage, but it was still in vain. How could this be? Was the smoke some kind of a suppressor? Or was it just because I am too weak now? But no. In normal circumstances, I could have done any of it easily. But obviously, at this moment, it was not a normal situation. I am here at the Banatan. My breath became more and more labored with each passing moment. It was like blocks and blocks that were too heavy were placed on my chest. And it was like I was going to pass out anytime soon.I looked around the ring with teary eyes. The smoke seemed to be only contained around it. I could see that my two remaining opponents were ready

    The mysterious and handsome stranger came in and closed the door quietly.“What are you doing here?” I wiped away my tears with the back of my hand and stared at him while he took off his hood.“I was worried about you. I’ve been waiting outside for a long time!” he said and I knew he noticed that I was crying. He reached out and touched my face lightly. “It’s your mother, right?” He wanted to confirm it.I blinked fast to stop myself from crying again. I didn’t want the stranger to see my vulnerable side. “Yes. You really know me, huh?” I chuckled bitterly and turned around but he held my arm and pulled me into his embrace. I suddenly felt warm and protected in his strong arms, something I never felt before. His unique scent made me more aware of him, making my heart to lighten up. The pain and loss were eased by him in an instant—at that moment.‘How did he do that?’ I wondered.“It’s okay to cry. I even cried when she was gone,” he revealed serenely.

    The stranger’s handsome face went serious. “Unfortunately, they caught him.”I nodded. “Really unfortunate, indeed,” I agreed. I personally owed that being because he stopped the death of my two fellow Aigleans. I silently promised that I’d make it even with him—if he’d still be alive to know how grateful I was. “So, where is he now?”He shrugged. “I think, they already put him in Uzob.”“In Uzob?” I echoed.That was where all Aryan prisoners who committed grave crimes against the Aryan royalty and the Aryan beings were put for life. I heard that it was a nasty place. But I had never been there myself because it was off limits to everyone except for the royal family and some high-ranking officials. Therefore, the relatives of the prisoners would never ever see them again once they were put in Uzob. And it was unheard of that an Aryan prisoner in Uzob could escape. I wondered how the place looked like. Perhaps, I’d visit it one day as an elite warrior just to

    The celebration was held at the palace ground that very same night. Foods and drinks were served in a matter of less than thirty dots. It would last until midday. And before that was over, the prisoners of Uzob were all freed and joined this rare celebration. It must have been a very historic day for everyone in the Aryan world.But before that, Miryeob and my sister Shahrae, together with Kaiyahv, had a priceless reunion. It filled my heart with warmth and joy as they embraced each other. I smiled watching this happy moment for our family. I watched them with a smile on my face. They were talking animatedly like they really had a lot to talk about. Well, I thought that was true since it had been a long time since they had been separated from each other. Thinking that my sister’s father was already dead, there was indeed a lot to catch up. The whole evening would not suffice it, I’m sure.Rugien embraced me from behind, watching the scene that I was focused on. The King

    “Free all the prisoners in Uzob. The only thing they did wrong was go against the impostor king. That means they’re all innocents,” Rugien said. He then informed them where Uzob was located.They nodded. They were about to go when Rugien halted them. “One other thing.” He glanced at me first before he continued. “Frith’s body.”“We’re going to take care of it,” Bullox said. “Right now, he’s going to be washed clean by a couple of our fellow warriors before he’s going to be sent to his family. That’s the least we can do for him at the moment.”However, Rugien shook his head. “No. Frith can still be brought back to life. Will talk to Healer Ulf regarding this matter.”I snorted. “Huh? Are you saying that he still has the chance to be alive even after his life source is sucked by the Creyer?” I asked Rugien about that unbelievable suggestion.He turned to me and all eyes were on him now. “The old palace healer has found something in their research, Xerra.

    It was then that Rugien and I grabbed it at the same time that it was taken away from Isoog like his strength diminished. Together, we thrust the staff through his chest and to his heart. Blinding light erupted from within and it seemed that he just melted into a mist, into nothingness, only to appear the real King.I knew it the moment his green eyes were settled on Rugien. The Grand Crown Prince could tell it, too, that it was his real father.“Father!” He embraced the older man.The two males looked happy with this reunion. Well, who wouldn’t? I looked at the staff that was now solely in my hand. I couldn’t feel its surging power now. But I didn’t care. All is well now. My eyes met Zelian’s who stepped closer to us. He bowed to the two royalties and so did the others, including the Furezos and the remaining elite warriors. It looked like there was less than half of their number that was still alive.“Zelian! It’s been a long time since I last saw you,” the

    As the General told me his real name, he attacked me with a whip that he manifested. I barely realized that the name of his brother’s staff was Creyer, which was taken from his name after all. The impostor loved his brother dearly—it was crystal clear to see. It was quite admirable. I could understand since I had a precious sister that I loved so much.Anyway, it was good I was fast enough to dodge his attack. My poniard blocked it the second time, which was caught by it. In turn, I pulled it and slashed it. His hold was broken. I quickly bluffed a thrust but attempted to slash his leg. He was quick to dodge both times it was amazing. He was amazing. I gave him that. However, he just got motionless all of a sudden.I whipped around to look behind me to see who it was. Of course, it was Frith. He used his favorite weapon, the needle, which made the General paralyzed. I smiled, satisfied, at the unmoving Crey.I then paid attention to Rugien and the King who are stil

    “Or you’re going to break my neck? Is that it?” I sarcastically told him but my hand was still tightly holding my weapon. I refused to be threatened by him despite of the current situation.Rugien suddenly made a more-than-a-superbeing move. He stood right in front of us in less than a split dot. His face was grim that I’d never seen before. His eyes burned with fire as he looked at the General of the Elite Aryan Army.“Ah, my son!” The King followed as well after a dot passed by.I looked at his Creyer. With this distance, I could probe into the King’s mind. However, it was blocked somehow. He looked at me with a mocking and evil grin. He shook his head unaffectedly.“I know your ability, Xerra. However, you cannot use it against me.” He paused. “Even you, Rugien. No matter how powerful you are.” He turned to the Grand Crown Prince.Rugien reached out to my mind, I realized. I let him probe into mine. Now he knew what I discovered. His face went grimme

    The Furezos spread out quickly and with agility that I’d never witnessed before. I realized that they indeed worked hard to be able to defend themselves and to protect their land against the King, although it was unsuccessful until now. The King and General Isoog just got out from the flying capsules, which obviously warped from the palace to get here quietly and quickly.I ducked when a flying sword was aimed at my direction. I quickly ran to take cover behind a tree. The leipods or simply called as follow-the-enemy flying weapons were deployed all over us to automatically track and attack us. They were as big as an Aryan hand with a triangular shape and steel gray color. They flew without sound, hence perfect for surprise attacks as well. Once it sees and locks in on its target, it won’t stop until the target is terminated.“Execute all the rogue warriors and the rebels!” I heard the King’s command.I swallowed and looked at my poniard that was in my hand.

    I thought it was me but Kaiyahv commanded her people who were about to attack me and Kalith. My troop, on the other hand, surrounded us even though we were literally outnumbered. But we had advantage of the technology of the Elite Aryan Army. If what we had would be used properly, combined with our own powers and skills, there was no way that we’d be defeated by the Furezos. The Elite Aryan Army was named as so.“I just need your head to be delivered to the King,” I said.“But you heard what Harrupero said! We didn’t and hadn’t raided the Nazian tribe!” Kaiyahv insisted.I decided to probe into her thoughts to know if she was telling us the truth, if she hadn’t ordered it so. But what I saw in her thoughts surprised me. I saw Miryeob’s younger version, saw her talk to my mother before she became a Queen, and grieved when she heard about her brother’s fake death as well as my mother’s.“What do you see in my mind, Xerra?” she demanded, haltingly as my hand was

    I was really astonished upon hearing that. Their leader was a female Aryan being? Well, that was interesting. Indeed!Wait, was it her that I saw in the mind of the Furezo who got imprisoned in Uzob?I signaled Kalith to come to us. He did so in an instant, leaving Bullox and the others to gather the captives, while some injured elite warriors did their best to revitalize their energy. They still had to hear what order I would give them after this. Belatedly, I decided to call on Jegosh as well.“You deliver this message to the King. Tell him that I will meet the leader of the Furezos and I will negotiate for him,” I spoke with the playful Jegosh. I believed that something would happen if I were to send him, judging by his personality. “If I cannot get back to the palace, I’ll have Kalith deliver a message as soon as possible. For now, don’t make the King do anything against the Furezo tribe for an entire day.”Jegosh nodded although his forehead formed some

    Other elite warriors who were not expecting it were caught by the smoke. They already coughed and groaned. Well, I could just imagine how they feel now, as I experienced it at the Banatan. I knew they felt like dying right now.I transformed into my Arcturian self, using my black aura to cleanse the smoke. As soon as the air was cleared out, my fellow elite warriors that were affected got back their strength and were healed. Then they used their clear helmets as well.They dashed toward the Black Forest where blazing arrows kept coming at us. It was like more than hundreds of them. However, the elite warriors easily managed to parry them now and those were rendered useless. I could now make out the people who were as black as the black trees of the Black Forest. No wonder why it was called Black Forest and why their hiding place couldn’t be found even after numerous raids that the King had made all these years. Thus, only the innocents were killed. That was indeed a pity
