She bit her lips lightly as her head fell. Richard turned his attention back to the rest of the warriors. “Today marks the beginning of a new era. The weak will be forged into steel. The strong will become legends…”He paused for a moment. Then, his voice rang with finality as he raised his hands slightly to his sides. “Now, warriors of the Sect, swear your allegiance.”For a moment, there was only silence. Then, as if the very walls of the hall could feel the shift in power, every warrior moved as one. “We swear our allegiance!”Their voices thundered in unison, shaking the foundation of the building. Boots slammed against the floor as they reinforced their salute, their fists striking their chests in a display of unwavering loyalty.“To our Supreme Commander. To the Blood Moon!”Richard stood tall, nodding as satisfaction overwhelmed him while he took in the sight before him. Hundreds of warriors, their faces filled with conviction, their loyalty sealed in those words. As tradi

Two weeks later, the warriors of Kora took the sacred journey to The Vale of Blades. Would this be a journey of no return for them? They could only strive to find out.Dawn after dawn, dusk after dusk, they had trained relentlessly alongside the forces of their three powerful allies. Sweat and blood mixed with the earth beneath their feet as they sharpened their skills, their minds and resolve. Every morning had begun with the clash of swords; every night had ended with aching muscles and bruises, yet not once had they faltered. Richard was more than ready for this. His warriors were just as ready to put their lives on the line for their nation. They had toiled under the weight of expectation, under the pressure of the war to come. Now, the time had arrived. Today, they would fight until their last drop of blood was shed and until they drew their final breath.They arrived at the large battle field and were now standing in place; the warriors of Kora to the right and the warrior

Then Richard grabbed the sword from its sharp blade, its sharpness tearing his flesh as blood trickled down the blade. Uh! The Ashton commander and warrior furrowed their brows, taken aback just for a second. But that second was all Richard needed. Before they knew it, Richard pulled the sword out of his flesh and sliced both their throats with just one swift, precise and deadly motion on one foot.The next second, his wounds healed completely as if nothing had happened. Before their blood could even stain the dirt, his wounds had sealed before their very widened eyes. His flesh knitted itself together as if untouched, as if the injury had never happened.Across the battlefield, Delilah stood frozen, her breath caught in her throat. She had happened to see everything play out.She had seen the impossible.Her heart pounded, as her eyes widened. What... did I just witness?She gasped, her grip tightened around her sword as disbelief swirled in her eyes. "This..." she whispered, her

“Ehhh!!” She screamed in shock, awe and excitement as her eyes darted to the rest of her family members. “Richard is the Supreme Commander??”Sir Vester was beyond stunned. He had zero idea. The Vester family were now back to their villa. Though, the air between the family was still thick with tension as Collin was yet to clear his name off the accusation of his father.And Sir Vester was not ready to listen to his baseless claims. But the public scrutiny was over, and Collin’s name was now cleared after he made a public apology. The antidotes Richard had provided worked perfectly well and everyone was now in good health. Josh, on the other hand, was now in police custody facing trial. The family members were utterly stunned in their seats as their eyes darted around at each other in the living room. Even though Sir Vester knew of Richard’s great martial arts abilities, he never would have expected that Richard would be filling such a great position. The position was only filled
