‘I didn’t think that would happen.’
Lucien looked down at the three spears that managed to pierce into his body as blood dribbled out of his mouth.
‘Damn!’
The Helix guild master quickly retrieved his brother and carried him a distance away from Lucien and laid him down on the floor as he continued to cough and gather his breath.
After getting some fresh air into his lungs, the Hellthorn master looked at his brother in disbelief, “You would care if I died?”
The Helix guild master continued to watch Lucien carefully as he answered, “Of course, you’re my brother, my flesh and blood.”

WHAT ARE YOU DOING! DON’T COME ANY CLOSER!” Gloria shouted, her eyes wide with fear. “Are you going to kill him too like you did to them!”Lucien was confused, why would he kill his own friend?“YOU MONSTER JUST STAY AWAY!”Lucien felt anger, sadness, and confusion all at once. All he could do was look at his friend as he continued to lose blood.Lucien was shaking from all the emoti

…Present Day…Dust filled the air, clouding everyone’s view.“Damnit! I said stop! We need him alive!” Kalin shouted at the Hellthorn master through the dust cloud.“Be quiet, he was practically begging me to kill him,” the Hellthorn master shouted back.The dust cleared to reveal a large hole in the street that lead somewhere underneath the city.“What in the world is this?” Kalin wondered. “Just how hard of a swing did you take?”“This is just as much your fault as it is mine!”
Ice Monarch Pieces
Lucien awoke and sat up and placed the palm of his hand on his forehead.‘I’m still exhausted, but at least my body doesn’t ache as much anymore…’Removing his hand from his forehead, he looked around, however, the only thing that he could see was a single light source above him. Everything else around him was pitch black.‘If that’s a hole, I must have fell through it and ended up here. Does that mean this is a cave under the city?’“Uhhh, I hate caves.” Lucien groaned as he stood up.‘Oh! My hands are free. Whatever caused that hole to open must have cut these restraints as well…”

“He must have gone down into the…”“Quiet!” Kalin interrupted Callavan.“Oh yeah, I forgot. My bad.” Callavan apologized. “So, do we follow?”“I say we do,” The Hellthorn master suggested eagerly.“No. He evaded us once with the same trick, he can probably do it again,” Kalin pointed out. “We should have the hole sealed as soon as possible since the guild master doesn’t want this information to leak out to anyone. We can’t cause a panic. Callavan, stay here with Cleon,” (the healer Kalin recruited), “and make sure no one goes down that hole. The rest of us will get someone to fill it in.”
