Charles was in horror as watched one of the strongest knights he had ever seen get killed so easily.
‘No not easily. He killed hundreds, if not thousands of monsters before he died. But still… no matter how strong you are, you can never be invincible. Death always finds its way in.’
Charles sank to his knees as he observed warrior after warrior get swallowed up by the monsters. He felt that history was repeating itself, only this time, no one else was there to save them.
The general, who was still giving it his all finished off a large snake before collapsing face first into the ground, completely wiped of energy.
“Get out of there!” Charles shouted as he watched the red dragon from above spew fire from
With the little manpower they had left, the warriors began to hold the monsters off since they had the help of Kalin and didn’t have to worry about the dragon anymore.“Push forward!” Charles yelled as everyone fought back the monsters.Kalin slashed away at the monsters before them, cutting them to pieces, all the while still searching for his comrades.Slash!Kalin jumped high into the air, avoiding the mallet of a giant then swung his own swords, slicing the giants head clean off.He landed on the ground and looked around at his surroundings.‘I think that was the last giant, but where the hell are the res
“Lucien!” Roseline screamed as she rushed to where Lucien lay, quickly kneeling down by his head and shaking his body, “Lucien!”She held her ear against Lucien’s bloodied chest, but she couldn’t hear the beating of his heart.The others that crowded around looked at Lucien’s body with concern as Roseline sprang up.“Quick! We need to get him to a healer!”I will take care of that,” a deep voice sounded from behind the warriors.The knight wearing gold armor appeared and the warriors automatically formed a path as the knight walked forward.“Kirklin?” Roseline i
… About Two Years Later, within the country of Kasnar, west of Verglacia’s border… It was a brisk spring night, not a cloud covering the sky as the moon lit of the ground surface. The tree’s leaves rustled softly in the night while most of soldiers of Verglacia slept on the ground. However, two men sat upright against a tree, watching a fire crackle while they talked. “I hope this is the last sight. I’m sick of carrying all of this Altrite around,” one of the soldiers grumbled. “Yeah,” the other agreed while he sighed. “At least all the heavy lifting is taken care of by the magicians. They can lift it into the wagons like it’s nothing and if it wasn’t for their protective spells, the stuff would drain our lifeforce dry in mere minutes.” “That’s true…” The soldier titled his head back and looked up into the sky at the brilliant white moon as a flash of light blue fill the sky followed by a low rumble. “What was that?!” he
“So many people today!” a guard sighed. “I can’t wait to get another assignment. I hate checking going through a checklist with every single person that wants to enter the castle!” The guard put up his hand to stop the next person.“Name?!” he demanded. The person gave it and he began to check the person’s name on a number of pages he was holding. As he did so, the guard was bumped into as a man strolled through the gates.‘Who is this asshole? What makes him think he can just waltz in like he owns the place?!’“Hey! Where do you think you’re going!” the guard shouted after him. “You know not just anyone can enter right?!”The man stopped and looked over his shoulder.“It’s a good thing that I’m not just anyone then, isn’t it?” the man growled.The guard began to shiver as he recognized the man before him.“Sir
Lucien was astounded by this discovery as he glossed his fingers over the frozen wall. ‘Where does this lead to?’ Lucien looked down the hallway and was about to release another blast of cold magic to freeze more of the wall when he heard someone calling behind him. “Sir Lucien!” Lucien relaxed and suppressed his magic as he turned around to see Roseline standing before him, her breath freezing as it escaped from her mouth. “Are you alright?” she asked as she glanced at the frozen hallway. “I heard a yell.” Lucien sighed, “Yeah. I’m fine. It’s nothing.” Turning away, Lucien was about to leave when Roseline spoke again, “It’s about your parents, isn’t it?” Hearing this, Lucien stopped and looked over his shoulder. Roseline looked up at him with a look of sorrow. “Do you want to get something to eat and talk about it?” Roseline asked hopefully. Lucien looked at her pure innocent beauty, but the idea of him
The door opened to reveal a rather large room with a bunch of chests pushed against one of the walls while on the opposite wall was a bookcase. The bookcase was filled half with books while the other half was filled with medicinal instruments and other miscellaneous tools. On the back wall was a set of chains and handcuffs. Within the center was a single table with strange drawings carved within the wood.The room had an unpleasant stench and was in dire need of cleaning.‘Guess the maidservants don’t get to clean this room.’As soon as Lucien walked in, he felt a very dark power lurking within. He paused as the hair on the back of his neck stood on end. Lucien decided to move slowly and keep his senses alert as he inspected the room.He first looked at the table to see that what was inscribed within the wood was a magic circle.Lucien took note of this as he moved to one of the chests. He tried to open it, but it was locked. He d
The next day, the order was printed in every newspaper, a letter was written to every registered guild, and to the registered adventurers, a message popped up on their bracelets. It wasn’t long before almost every living sole within the nation of Verglacia knew of the order.Lucien waited within the castle, constantly listening to the reports of what guilds were complying, and those who weren’t.He heard these reports from within the council room along with the twelve council members. He stood against the wall while the twelve conversed amongst themselves about how to subjugate those who refuse to comply.“Not many are agreeing to obey the order. It seems they all adore the freedom to do as they please rather than be under our control,” one of the council members observed.“They still have the rest of today and tomorrow to decide what they are going to do. I say we give them a chance before we do anything,” another advi
…A few weeks later, within the capital…The people of the capital were bustling around with news of recent events. No one couldn’t help but bring it up. Two women were doing this rather loudly…“Did you hear most of the guilds are signing the order that went out?”“Yes! I have also heard that others decided to just disband themselves rather than go through with the signing. But what was most interesting to hear was that for the ones that refused to do wither of those was destroyed by Sir Lucien Verglas!”“I know! Did you hear about the first city he forced into submission? Anyway, he froze up the entire town and then demolished their guilds! A bit extreme I think…”A man who overheard their conversation then joined in.“It’s not like that was the furthest he went,” the man explained. “I heard that after he destroyed a guild hall in a d
