To Free Children
Lucien was at first proud of himself, which was then quickly swallowed up by anger as he gritted his teeth together.Mixed in with the children were adults. He even recognized the same woman who latched onto his leg.‘This proves everything.’As he observed what was inside the cave, he noticed two watch towers that rose up thirty feet into the air where guards constantly scanned the cave. There were also guards stationed along the cave walls to make sure that the children kept working.Lucien was trembling in anger. It took everything he had to hold back the urge to jump in kill the military soldiers.‘I need a plan. I can’t just recklessly jump in.’

Proof
It was still very dark out as it was the middle of the night. Despite this, Lucien could see that most of the adults looked very depressed.“Head back to Zlieta City,” Lucien ordered.The children cheered again and immediately headed down the mountain path.Lucien threw the man over his shoulder and began to walk behind the children as some of the adults began to move slowly.“Hey,” Lucien spoke in order to get the attention of the man walking next to him. “What are you so down for?”The man shot an angry look over at Lucien, “My child is dead! He died… yesterday. Why didn’t you or anyone else come break us free earlier! If you g

Close Call
The next day, Lucien found himself just behind a covered wagon about a mile away.‘They must be making frequent stops if I’m catching them.’He neared the wagon to see that it was indeed stopped. Looking around, he saw that the wagon was empty. The drivers and passengers, if there were any, were all gone.‘Did they have to relieve themselves?’Lucien was a bit curious, but nonetheless, it wasn’t his business.He continued to walk by the covered wagon. …

Turn Around
After eating their fill, they both sat and looked up at the stars for a while.Roseline began to ask, “Did I see that…” but stopped as she began to hear heavy breathing coming from the wagon.Roseline sprang up and climbed into the wagon to see Gilbert. He was sweating profusely. She placed her hand on his forehead to feel that it was hot to the touch.“He’s burning up!” she exclaimed worriedly.Lucien took a look of his own at Gilbert, then grabbed his cloak that was hanging to dry on a tree branch and headed towards the seat in the front of the wagon.“What are you doing?” she asked as he jumped up and took hold of the reins.

“I’m curious, how did you make it out of that pit?” Mr. Armos asked, almost annoyed.“What’s it to you, old man? You’re here to try and kill me anyway. Isn’t that right?” Lucien retorted as he continued to glare at Mr. Armos.“I guess you’re right. You should already be dead anyway!” Mr. Armos threw his cloak off and readied himself.Lucien took one glance over his should to check and see if Roseline and Gilbert were alright. Roseline was unconscious while Gilbert only made sudden gasps.‘I need to finish this quickly. That’s too bad really, I wanted to take my time with this scum.’Mr. Armos stood wi

Thank You
Roseline walked forward and dropped to her knees a couple feet away from Mr. Armos’s body with tears in her eyes. However, she noticed that his chest was still rising and falling.‘What?’She got closer to his body to see that the dagger was stuck just beside Mr. Armos’s neck.Roseline hugged Mr. Armos as she cried while he just laid there is disbelief.‘He spared me? He has no reason to spare me… or maybe he does? When he raised that dagger, I was staring death in the face…’Mr. Armos’s entire body ached, especially his face, which was covered in blood from where his skin split open due to Lucien’s strikes. Breathing was

Alophia
A half a day’s journey later, Lucien finally made it to the city gates of Alophia. The city was the largest one he had ever been in yet. The city held nearly two million citizens within its walls.Inside the walls, the streets were filled to the brim with people. Lucien had to watch where he was going or risk running into someone with each step. However, due to his intimidating presence, most moved out of the way for him.‘So, a city as grand as this was just north of my hometown?’Lucien admired all the buildings that towered over him, all at least three stories tall. All the shops were filled with extravagant clothing and items that were really expensive.As Lucien walked through the grand city, he noticed a large

Recognized
The men looked at him in horror as they began to back away from Lucien.“What do you think you men are doing?” another knight appeared in green and black armor. “Your all about to back away from someone who messed with one of our guildmates?”The other knights all looked at each other through their helmets.The knight in green armor drew his sword and shield that were attached to his back and took his stance, “Come at me!”Lucien frowned as a dagger made of ice materialized within his hand. However, due to the limited light in the street, it only looked like a regular dagger to the other knights.“Whoa, nice trick,” the knight standing

Bounty
Lucien suppressed his power immediately and approached Kalin slowly.Kalin dropped to his knees as tears began to run down his face.“It’s really you! I thought you had died six years ago!” Kalin heaved with unbelief.Lucien knelt down by him and placed his hand on Kalin’s shoulder and smiled, “Did you really think I would let myself die so easily.”Kalin pulled Lucien in with one arm and hugged him briefly before letting him go and standing up. He wiped his tears as Lucien stood back up with him.“I hardly recognized you man. You’re a man now. I’m sure you’ve had some ladies look your way.” Kalin laughed.
