LI. Brewing Vengeance

“Here’s to Kaihra Bashti, a full-fledged member of Absinthe, champion of Veynstown, and hero of Khenealm.” As soon as Zed said his last word, everyone lifted their cups and drank the red wine in unison. Compared to the other funerals that Macy had been to, their numbers were too little, though it was expected as Absinthe was her only family. It was a surprise to see Aegis and even sir Vance of the Triad. Still, the pain was the same, no matter how many times she had witnessed burials. She expected herself to at least be a little strong and poised because she had been in the situation of grieving too many times already. But the ceremony hadn’t even started when her tears flooded her face for how many hours straight until nothing came out anymore. She just stood there, not really paying attention. Her eyes were just on the white coffin in front beside a hole in the ground. “Macy, it’s your turn to speak.” Behind her, Raeya patted her back softly. “It’s okay if you can’t. You can ju

LII. Operation Ignis

Every warrior was summoned again.To think that they had a general meeting twice in a row, it was obvious they were brewing something. The hall was jam-packed and the heat was becoming unbreakable every minute, especially when more and more people were coming in.Raeya was surprised by their numbers–their real numbers. Compared to the previous meeting, today was a shocker. They were also numerous last time as they reached almost three-fourths of the hall. But now, the hall couldn’t contain each and every one of them. Marshals kept on running around trying to fit all the warriors of Khenealm until they announced that those unfortunate enough to be on the back part had to let their leaders be prioritized in getting inside the hall first because they were about to discuss really important things.A riot had broken out earlier due to a group of young warriors, maybe aged twelve to fourteen, who made a big issue out of the overwhelming number of the crowd. They proclaimed themselves as Pal

LIII. Palmarium and Aegis

Raeya didn’t know if she brought bad luck.She was present on the very spot where the Shadows broke through the Festival. She was there at the headquarters when Hearth attacked. She was also at the palace when Hearth attacked the Rokohorta. And now, one of their partners in the North team was Palmarium as announced by Sir Vance who was still in the middle of giving each team instructions. Sir Vance made them stand in line next to their other team companies.“Great. Just great,” Aura complained.“Look, lady, if you have a problem with us, the feeling is mutual,” one of the kids said and touched the hilt of his shortsword strapped to his side, as if to impress them. Like who would even carelessly show his weapon in this time and age? And for the Shore’s sake, why do they have matching shirts that display their real names and their affiliation symbols printed large in front? Did their trainer teach them nothing? It was like asking for the guerillas to attack them then and there! As for

LIV. Responsibility

“I told you, you have to memorize at least these places!” Raeya scolded Fahazi.Aegis had just arrived at their North base along with Palmarium and two more minor companies who weren’t that huge but they participated in the last war so they were assured that they atleast have experience.“Look here, not everyone has the same brain capacity as yours!” Fahazi shouted back.Raeya couldn’t believe it. Back in their time during Fhae’s lectures and training, no one was allowed to complain. Sure, it was tiring but it showed their obedience. Their sincerity to join Aegis was that deep to the point that they ignored each and every pain just for them to reach their goal.“Why don’t you listen to me for a while? I’m just asking you to memorize three major towns! Tashir, Kiza, Dairishia–what’s so hard about that?”“All right, I get it! Tashir, Kiza, Dairishia, what else?!”This was not going well.“Since this is your reaction, it seems like you did not understand me. Being geologically aware of t

LV. The Warning

Operation Ignis went well on its first couple of days. North, East, West, and South had no complications. They didn’t really do anything much. Just the usual monitoring of the people’s movement and casual checking of potential establishments or places from time to time. There was just this issue from the West where they were hit by a typhoon so they had to prioritize assisting the government there to bring relief operations. But other than that, nothing really affected Operation Ignis as a whole. It was normal as it went for days. They even extended for a couple of weeks. All sides were becoming restless. Now, it has been more than a month and everyone is bored.They weren’t even sending out their daily reports that were as detailed as it was in their first week. At first, they really send out reports in long paragraphs, describing each and every detail. Now, all they sent headquarters were short sentences in bullet form.To their surprise, they received no complaints or any warning

LVI. A Moment of Excitement

“Where? Where are they?” Raeya frantically asked.Daru was slamming her fingers on the keyboard. Aura pressed a fat green button and a large duplicate hologram of Daru’s screen appeared in front of them, encompassing the whole room. A map of the whole of Khenealm was projected first. It kept on twisting as it was being zoomed with the help of a blinking red circle which indicated where the distress call came from.Finally, after a month, they had movement.Their enemy had great timing. Just when they were relaxing, they showed up. Still, Raeya seemed to be a little too nervous. The signal didn’t even come from their area but she felt like she was engaging Hearth now. She wasn’t even sure if she was trembling because of excitement or fear.“There!” exclaimed Daru.The red circle stayed on the coverage of the East. The East had the least number of teams due to them being assigned the smallest area.“What are the headquarters' instructions? Should we go stand by near the mountains in cas

LVII. Reverse Card

Everything was going well not until the blackout.Leison Chadrond represented Aegis. Along with others who were sent by their companies, they marched towards headquarters to heed Sir Vance’s call that he was inviting agents to watch them question the captured conjurer.The headquarters for Operation Ignis was temporarily set at a classified location somewhere in the middle of the four directions. It took a few hours by train and he arrived by nighttime. When he had thought he reached the place, a mountain trek presented itself before him. Leison noticed some familiar faces. He saw Zed, the leader of Abisnthe, reading a book while walking. He also saw Beiaris, leader of Apollo, the medic company. Leison also passed by the leaders of Golden Thorns, Edge, Resetters, and Fearless Kings. They were all leaders of the minor companies. However, familiar as they might be, all of them had one thing in mind–not to make it obvious that they knew each other.It was already a given that when steppi

LVIII. Unmasked

Nique’s waiting wasn’t in vain.Originally, Leison was the only one who should be going to their headquarters but Aegis was known to always be prepared. Leison had planned too much ahead and he requested Nique’s assistance in case something happens. They were clearly not following orders because the location of headquarters was classified data so Nique should not be here. But now that they had a situation, Nique thought they wouldn’t be punished if and only if she managed to catch the intruder and bring them back. So she had to. Or else she and Leison will be under disciplinary measures for the first time. She didn’t want both of their records to be stained.Nique had been listening all the time through Leison’s telepathy ever since they entered into the house. Nique was just outside, on stand by a tree and hidden with the shadows of the night like some thief waiting for an opportunity.The opportunity presented itself before her. Even in the darkness, she caught movement that passed

LVIX. Blame

It has been three days since the incident. Regardless, Operation Ignis still continued but Sir Vance strictly advised Leison and the others not to tell the others what happened. It was an order.“Sir Vance, why did you let me see all of these?” Leison asked.“Oh? What do you mean?”“It’s just a hunch. I have been uneasy ever since you declared Operation Ignis. Covering the whole Khenealm to root out one single base didn’t sound strategic, at least to me. You are a man of war and everyone knows your intelligence when it comes to things like this. I was expecting that you would have other strategies rather than making us blindly look for a needle in a haystack.” Sir Vance stopped smoking. He seemed eager to listen.“Then I realized it last night,” Leison continued. “You were willing to wait for a month, maybe even a year, to catch even only a single enemy. That was the start of your real plan. When you finally caught one, you suddenly invited us. When the intruder came, you could have

LX. Hidden Hearts

The absence of Leison and Nique for almost four days made Raeya worry. Did something happen? Though she wasn’t really that worried since it was the two of them, she couldn’t help but overthink that the interrogation went wrong. Although Sir Vance contacted them for the past days telling them that everything went well and that they just had to focus on Operation Ignis, he only used voice calls. It was nothing to be suspicious about but when even Nique refused to do video call with her, that was something new like they didn’t want to show their faces, save for Leison. Raeya actually thought that they were hiding something. “You weren’t listening again,” Fahazi grumbled in front of her. She snapped back to reality. She looked at the score sheet in front of her. Raeya just snoozed in the middle of an oral and written quiz with Fahazi. “Oh.” Raeya could only scratch her cheek and do an awkward chuckle. “My bad, you were saying?” Fahazi hit her with a hard-cover book. “Ow!” Fahazi lai
