Nathan stood there looking at Carl, he couldn't believe his ears. He knew that something bad was happening, but he was not sure that it was that serious. It was not what he would have wanted to hear from anyone that one of their own had died, and it was not even a fair fight to begin with. “Tell me that this is a dream; how is he dead? There is no way he is dead!” Elena was looking at her comrades, and she could see that they were quite sure that it was not something she was going to be able to handle. Liu was shocked, and he was not even sure if it was true, but for Carl to be the one who brought the message, then it means that it was true. “How on earth did this happen?” He was looking at Carl to give him more information so they would know what it was they were dealing with. “I am not sure, but his body was found with a bullet in his head, and it was shown that he was not even given the chance to fight back or do anything.” Carl clenched his fists. He was looking down, and he c

After he clashed with Lucius, Cruz knew that he needed to be on his toes with him knowing that the man was something else, and if he let his guard down he would regret it. He had made plans to meet with someone in Caldor to make sure that he was going to push the plan of taking down Nathan. ‘I don't care if he is working with the empire, I am going to make sure that I put him on a leash!’ Cruz cursed, he knew that Orela was an important part of his plan but for what it was worth he didn't like someone putting tabs on him like he was a child. “My men are now in Caldor, hopefully, you will have enough time to do whatever it is you want to do before they find out that you are there.” Lucius gave him the heads up, and Cruz smiled knowing that there was something good going to be happening soon. “Thank you for helping me, I will be back as soon as possible” Cruz left for Caldor, Lucius was looking at him as he left and it was clear as day with the look he had on his face. He didn't a

“What in the world is going on?” One of the elders in the Northern Plain spoke up. There was a meeting going on; they had heard what Cruz did and how he was trying to make sure that he would kill the Lord Of The North. “Calm down, Malcuff. I know it is not something we would want to write home about, but then we need to be calm until the main verdict is passed.” Another Elder spoke up, they wanted to make sure that the order was kept. “One of the children we raised dares to try that sort of thing, and you are telling me not to make a fuss about it? This is a war he has started, and there is no way I will be keeping quiet! He has also killed one of his own. Tell me, are you going to keep quiet until he aids a battalion to kill us all?!” Malcuff was furious, he never thought one of the shining Generals would go that far. “I agree with Malcuff, this is not what we would have expected from any of them, what next is he going to do? I don't want to live in a world where someone we helpe

“If that is all you have for me, then you are completely useless.” Carl was on the phone with someone, and from the looks on his face, he was not happy that there was nothing he was going to gain from his meeting. “But that is the only news I have about the Petoria family, and there is nothing else I know about them. I know you must be disappointed, and I understand.” The man pleaded with Carl, he was not about to be put aside by one of the most important men in the city. “I know that the Petroia family has to be one of the toughest to break into their secrets, but I want you to make sure that you can get me what I need to know about them.” Carl was looking at a portrait; he was not feeling like doing anything, but he had a cool look on his face. “I want you to make sure that there is nothing I would miss aside from that. I know the family had a hand in the death of the Specters. I mean, it is pretty obvious.” “But then they are not going to let anyone get into their family like t

Carl had waited for the man to give him news on the Petoria’s possession of the heirloom; he had gotten what he wanted to hear, and he was ready for whatever it was they would use to wait for them. “So it is just as I thought. They are waiting, Lord Nathan.” He was looking at the email, and he knew there was no way they wouldn't want to make a move and they wouldn't be spotted a mile away. He walked out of the bar he was in, he was going to deliver the message to Nathan. The heirlooms were one of his major reasons for coming back to Caldor, and if they weren't going to be careful, then he was not going to be able to get out of it. “So it looks like you are still a lap dog for him.” A voice said the moment Carl stepped out of the bar, he paused and looked to his left and he saw a man wearing a strange hat. “Maybe it’s not me…” Carl shrugged it off and was about to walk away when the man spoke again. “Of course I am talking to you, Carl Leinchester, Commander of the fourteen of th
