Fireborne: Rashen Rising CHAPTER 29: THE FINAL JUDGEMENT
In the court room where Rashen's hearing was taking place everyone's attention was solely on the Marshall. He took out the case files that had been presented to him,"I am going to ask you a series of questions that you can either answer with a 'Yes' or a 'No' unless you are asked to explain further, understood?""Yes." The Marshall began,"The accused was reported to have attended an unofficial get together for the graduating cadets that took place after the graduation ceremony,do you deny this?" The Marshall asked,"No." Replied Rashen,"The accused was reported to have left the get together with the victims before the alloted time,do you deny this?" "No." "The reason for this is because of an altercation between the accused and another cadet,do you deny this?""Yes." Rashen said much to the slight unease of those seated, especially Squad Commander Malloy. The Marshall's face creased as he went through the file again,"You deny that you had an altercation with one Imperial Cadet B

"Ow!!!" Cried Rashen as Gayle slapped him across the face."Oh good! You're finally awake." Said Ngoko.Rashen noticed he was on the floor,he took a look around as me rubbed his cheek. He was still in the courtroom and right now he was surrounded by Gayle, Raspin,Ngoko and Head Academic Officer Remry Gillurt."What the hell happened?" He asked as Gayle helped him back up his feet."You fainted." Replied Raspin instantly,"I fainted?" "Yes you did." Said Raspin,"And just before the Marshall gave his verdict too." "Must've been the stress." Added Ngoko.It all came back to Rashen,"That's right,my verdict." He said in a panicky tone as he turned to face the Marshall."Relax cadet, you've been declared innocent." Said Officer Gillurt with a bright smile reminiscent of Head Watcher Garle."It is as the Head Academic Officer says," said the Marshall, "You've been proven innocent of all charges against you. You are hereby off your probation and all the privileges you earned for graduating
Fireborne: Rashen Rising CHAPTER 31: THE GOLDENFIRE BANQUET
"Are you ready yet?" Rashen asked Gayle for the fourth time that that hour."Patience Rashikins." Gayle replied.Rashen, after being coerced by Officer Gillurt, would be attending the Goldenfire Banquet that evening. After returning home they decided to at least freshen up before since they had the time. Rashen took a bath and wore the suit he wore for his hearing after airing it out.Gayle on the other hand decided to wash his suit again. He left it out to dry while he took a long bath. Unfortunately for him they only had about an hour left before the banquet starts and the suit was still damp. Rashen offered to use his fire to completely dry it up for him but he refused and called him 'uncultured'. He instead borrowed a hot press from another soldier in the lodge. "You know," Rashen started, "Seeing as you were the most excited about attending the banquet I assumed you'd want to leave early." "Relax Rashikins, I'll be done in another thirty minutes." "Thirty minutes!!?" "Give or

Rashen knew that by all accounts he should be grateful to her, and genuinely was but he also believed she was part of what seemed to be a recurring issue in his life,where people would come in but before he can make a genuine connection with them,they leave for some reason or the other.It happened with the chief maid,it happened with Argins,it happened with Mr and Mrs Cobbs and right now it was happening with Macy. It was frustrating because he should be the happiest he's ever been,he was cleared in the hearing, acknowledged by Ngoko and Raspin as a rival,he had Gayle and he had Grittshore,a place he could call home,but it's not enough, without Macy it just wasn't enough. Rashen didn't feel like he'd be doing himself any good by trying to get fr
Fireborne: Rashen Rising CHAPTER 33: POINT OF NO RETURN
There Rashen stood, his clothes charred,his face red and his hair smoking. He stood barefoot against Lumins who was fuming. They stared into each other's eyes and right then and there they knew there were no words that needed to be said. Lumins created a fire ball and Rashen's blood red flames burst out from his back. They charged towards each other but before any contact, seemingly out of nowhere Ngoko appeared before them and sent both of them flying back with a powerful wind blast. "That's enough!" He said firmly. A crowd gathered up and leading them was Basterious and LiLyna. She ran towards Lumins teary eyed, "Oh Lumins,are you alright? Are you hurt?" She asked in urgency. "Put those dirty flames away!" Ordered Basterious furiously. Rashen's flames was still burning out of his back but he hadn't noticed nor did he pay Basterious any attention. All his attention was still focused on Lumins. "How dare you attempt to attack my son in his own home?" Basterious asked but Rashen st

Fireborne: Rashen Rising CHAPTER 2: SECOND CHANCES
The townsfolk halted their assault on the little boy on hearing the screams of the man who stood before them. His head was completely concealed under a gold plated helmet with an opaque visor covering his face,he had armor covering his chest and abdominals, other than the gauntlets he wore and the piece of armour protecting his thighs and his armoured boots, everywhere else was covered in panafin material,a thick durable fabric used by the military in their uniforms and hanging on his waist was a sword,it was the badge on the left side of his chest that indicated that he was an Imperial Soldier. He stood before the angry crowd,he looked at the boy laying on the floor breathing heavily and then back to the crowd,"Have you all no shame? Do you wish to spill the blood of an innocent child today?" "He's not an child he's a monster!!!"

Said a voice coming from behind. He looks behind to see the Imperial Soldiers,three to be precise."We're going to need you to return the money you stole from the good shop owner of this market..." The soldier in the middle said as he stepped forward, "...and after that you come with us to the station to sort yourself out".
