Chapter 51: First Adventure
The Throne of a Thousand Swords/Oliver K.
The experienced soldiers and higher-ranked officers were divided in squads. Each squad had a leader; which needed to be at least a three-star ranked person. The leader gave orders to four commanders which needed to be at least a sergeant, and each commander was in charge of up to a crew of fifteen. Squads were in charge of missions to protect and aid the kingdom. Things that couldn't be done by a crew of recruits. The missions often required dealing with criminals, creatures, or any other thing which required experience in combat.Josiah had spent almost the entire year in the reserve, helping with the affairs, instructing newer teams, improving his sword skills, and getting better on the art of controlling the blood flow. Then, one day on the eleventh month, Josiah's squad was called into the city of Bhule, one of the cities of the kingdom which were located most farther from the capital.The trip took a long day, even if the squad went by carriage instead of marching. After all, th

"You said what!? Soldier Ray? How? What happened?" Major Clockburn asked holding the messenger on the shoulders."I don't know! One minute he was following me for the interview, then when I called he wasn't there anymore. I searched everywhere, but…""It's the same thing that happened to the villagers..." Clockburn observed. "Change of plans. Everyone! We are going to divide and search for Ray. Each of you… Grab a tracking bracelet inside the vehicles!"A tracking bracelet was made with a bond of blood between two holders. It worked similar to Watt's bloodbound power, two people bonded to use the power: the holder and the vessel. They both cut a small drip on the wrist. The vessel wears the bracelet around his wrist and the blood of the holder reacts whenever he points his wrist in the direction of the vessel.Major Clockburn was the holder of several bracelets inside the carriages. This way he could track the soldiers of his squad.Too bad the soldiers weren't using the bracelet after

Fingers were snapped.The complete darkness was turned into an enlightened environment. Josiah's eyes went out of focus for a second. He could now catch the barren walls and the surroundings with his eyes. The light source was unclear, but it illuminated everything with a weak, yellow light. Over the ground, there were a lot of unknown objects scattered over. Dolls, metal tools, jewelry, curtains… The purpose of everything was mysterious. And to his left, Josiah could catch the silhouette of the owner of the voice of who directed to them a while ago: a short man on a dark blue robe, covering his head with a hood. The man didn't look very physically strong. He seemed weaker than the people he was used to sparring with inside the army. Josiah couldn't see his face because the light source seemed to come straight from behind him, rendering his face pitch black."You…""Witness the power of magic!"The man extended his hands to Josiah and a huge mass of fire came towards him.

"Lenny!" Josiah shouted, seeing her being knocked unconscious on the floor. 'Damn it! Is she all right?' Josiah started getting worried. He had just freed himself from the flaming piece of armor.The whole scenery was now lit on due to the flames of the two balls the magician released out from nowhere, and also the last attack, which was some sort of energy wave."Hah! You kids are no match for this power. Come on. It's only me and you now, little brat."'This is not good,' Josiah thought. 'Lenny is already out and we don't even know everything he can do. Not only that I am also stuck inside this hole and can't seem to be able to climb back. He could finish soldier Ray on his own, which means without Lenny to distract him it's going to be very hard to fight him one-on-one. What should I do…?'The magician seemed to be expecting Josiah to charge in, with a malicious smile on his face. The last attack made his face now clear to be seen. He was an older man, with his pale face full of wr
