CXIV. Something Beyond the Blue

''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

CXV. Awareness

The legend didn't start with the appearance of a goddess or a deity or the birth of a human with supreme powers. The beginning wasn't some fairytale initiated by the phrase 'once upon a time'.The story starts with a thief in his late thirties who was serving his last remaining years in jail during the time when monarchs ruled the land of Khenealm five hundred years ago.''You have no family, huh?'' one of his fellow prisoners asked in the dark.The prison was actually a former dungeon of lions, a sign that the ruling family weren't as saintly as they claimed to be. Although Biyako wasn't thinking that they were entitled to some mercy because of their sins, they at least deserved some humanity. The dungeon stank of feces and rats were running to and fro across the cold stone ground. The space was so small but there were at least a dozen of them. He was shoved in here with murderers, arsonists, pyschopaths, and other criminals who were far worse than him.''I had a family,'' Biyako answ

CXVI. Match

The very essence of the plan was to help as many people as possible to escape the building.Raeya didn't even have the luxury to plan big things like taking down the enemy with their small number, or burying the building along with their enemies and themselves and just die for Khenealm, or praying for a miracle that help will come. No. Her eyes were focused on one single word--survival.Everything was not hopeless. The secret helicopters were still there inside the building which no one knew except for Ayden and Raeya whom he had told to. Ayden was about to reveal that information but Raeya stopped him, sceptical that maybe somebody among them was also being controlled. For if the enemy could do such a thing to a large number of people, they would be on the right track if they were to think that someone among them is being used as a spy.Hearth has planned this all along. They even managed to take out the signal.The others had been doing nothing but dialling on their phones or trying

CXIV. Revealing

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,

CXV. A Gift and a Parting Gift

“Her phone’s not ringing,” Nique said with a trembling voice.“If she is still at the place where the Halite is, we might be able to make it in time,” Leison said as he approached to where Ryder was lying helpless.“Ryder, you have to break that paralysis. I can’t possibly carry you all the way from here to there. Nique would have no problem but you are the only one who has the chance to fight Seyin if worse comes to worst.”Ryder knew that. Just let Nique go first, he pleaded with his mind. Leison must have read his mind through his telepathy. Leison nodded at Nique. She also understood what she must do. As soon as she turned around, an explosion met her right in the face.“Nique!” Leison shouted.There was another blast and this time, both of them weren’t spared either. Wood, cement, and steel bars brake under pressure and the surroundings pumped such a hot temperature in a blink of an eye.Hearth was truly merciless. Ryder couldn’t remember on when and where they planted bombs but

CXVI. Swallowed

''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

CXVII. The Last Proposal

The Roar had been outside the Rigiddin castle for many days straight.The one they branded as the strongest man in Khenealm looked like a lost puppy begging to be taken in. Whether it rained or not, Ryder stood his ground, unwilling to move until he would get the audience that he wanted. The chief, however, had other plans in mind. He could have gracely welcomed him but he ordered Jin not to let him enter without his approval.''Let's see how strong his will is now. I want to see the leader of Aegis and not the useless man that broke my sister's heart.'' The chief was not supposed to let his emotions take over but considering the series of events that happened to Raeya, Jin couldn't blame him. Chief Raius wasn't really blaming Ryder for Raeya's disappearance. Everyone knew that it was Hearth's fault and doing but maybe the chief just wanted to test Ryder.They had seen him munch on a piece of bread from time to time and disappear if only for a little while, maybe to pee, but he would

CXVIII. The Condition

''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

CXIX. Confrontation

Ryder expected the challenge but he didn’t expect that Jin would ambush him first thing in the morning.After the talk last night with the chief, he was allowed to sleep in the guest room. It was the first act of kindness that he had ever received from them in almost how many decades that he was treated as someone hostile to the village and the clan. As expected, his mind only allowed him some minutes of sleep and rest. The rest was filled with nightmares.The first was about Raeya. She was wrapped in black smoke in a standing position. Her skin was so pale she looked like a corpse not until she opened her eyes. But instead of her black pupils that Ryder fully knew and memorized, her irises were red. Her mouth opened as if to speak but instead of a voice, blood streamed out of her mouth and eyes. The skin of her face was the first to crack until it spread through her body. Before Raeya would completely be shattered to dust, she only screamed one word.WHY.All the time, Ryder could on

CXX. Midnight Mark

Ryder will lead the operation himself.Even before Sir Vance informed him of it, Ryder went to the office and requested it personally. “Did something good happen?” Sir Vance asked.“What do you mean? Nothing’s happened yet.” Ryder was putting on the rumored new bulletproof vest. “It’s been ages since you asked for the limelight.” Sir Vance puffed a smoke at the window while sizing Ryder. He was the one who gave the new uniform to Ryder. His team had been experimenting in light clothing that would be useful for heavy battles. The weight of the bulletproof clothes of the old soldiers were bulky and got in the way.“So, what do you say about your clothes? You're the first to try it in real battle.”Ryder flexed himself in front of the mirror. He looked ordinary. It didn’t look like he was wearing armor. It would serve its purpose well. If everyone wore clothes like these, even the enemy would be confused because they would appear just like the other civilians. Except for him, of course
