“Who are you?” asked the same guard that had stopped Lucien during his first visit.
Turning his attention to the guard, Lucien replied, “You’re Stanley, correct?” After saying this, Lucien noticed that Stanley was the only guard present at the moment.
“Is that you Mr. Haze, sir?”
“Indeed. Where’s the other guard?”
“Oh, he’s in the castle for now taking a break. I’m thinking of taking one myself once he gets back,” Stanley explained. “Why do you ask?”
“Just confirming something.”
“Confirming something?”
Lucien gazed in surprise at the numerous cells holding prisoners that looked to be half-dead.The place contained an awful stench, the stench of death. It was very dark, the only source of light being the occasional oil lamp.‘Why’s there a dungeon here in the castle. They normally hold outlaws in the dungeons of the council buildings.’Lucien walked down the hallway, half expecting the prisoners to jump to the cell doors and start to beg. However, the most attention he received was the simple movement of their eyes as they followed him as he walked down the hallway.At the end of the hall, the hall split off to the left and to the right. Lucien decided to go left which lead him to even more cells.
…The North Battlefield…The front line quickly broken through as some monsters charged deep into the warriors’ formation.“Assassins!” the general yelled.The assassins, however, were quick on their feet and didn’t need the general to continue with what he was saying. They took action and began to cut down the monsters that broke through.“Reform that front line!”The archers continued to fire showers and showers of arrows, but the monsters didn’t seem to care and continued to charge forward recklessly.“YEAH!&rdq
Cletus pulled out his daggers and stood cockily waiting for Lucien to approach.“What are you waiting for?” Cletus asked as a massive grin broke out on his face.Lucien looked at Kalin’s body one last time.“Just making sure I don’t have another interruption.”Cletus glanced at Kalin’s body as well, “You’re right, should I finish the job, just to make sure…”Clang!Lucien shot forward and threw his fist at Cletus’s face.Cletus flew back and skidded to a stop on his feet.
Eric rushed at Lucien and swung his sword. In response, Lucien blocked the sword again with his hand and clasped down on it.With his hand on the blade, Lucien began to freeze the blade as his entire arm ached from the powerful blow.‘I need to get rid of this sword. I can’t block like this forever. My ice just isn’t strong enough and using Viserion’s power does damage to my body.’“That wasn’t smart!” Eric announced cockily.Eric pulled his blade towards him, pulling Lucien along with it and threw a punch.Boom!Eric’s stomach sank into Lucien’s stomach and sent him across
“YOU FUCKER!”Kalin walked hastily towards Cletus who tried to push himself away with his legs, but it was no use.“My father was innocent all this time and you used him just so your name wouldn’t be stained?” Kalin growled as he raised a sword to Cletus’s neck.“Now hold on! You kill me and your father will never get out of that cell. Without me, you can’t proof he’s innocent!”However, Kalin wouldn’t listen as he was blinded by rage, “My father has rotted away in here for no reason at all. My mother is slaving away at home, with almost no hope left. Both of their spirits were crushed, as was mine!” Streams of tears began to stream down Kalin’s face a
Lucien’s conscious faded in and out until his vision became clear.Urgh…He had a pounding headache and his body was covered in dried blood and bruises from his wounds.Lying on the ground, he noticed that his hands were cuffed in magic sealing cuffs.Using his hands, difficult though it was, he managed to push himself up in order to observe his surroundings. He was in the throne room and behind him stood the knight and archer from before as well as the guards, all of which were on one knee with their fists held against their chest. He also noticed that Kalin and his father were nowhere to be seen.In front of him, sat the Monarch on his throne, giving off a very command
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
