10. Survivors
"Who are you exactly? And why do you want me in your group? Aren't I an extra burden?""Yeah, a question at a time. ""As for who I am — Ezekiel. Well, the son of Ebonspire's governor.""Oh?" Czar's forehead wrinkled. If it were an ideal scenario he wouldn't even dare meet this person's gaze. But no ideal scenario would even place him and the son of Ebonspire's governor in the same picture. "Why do I want you in my group? It's simple, I need more survivors around me, that'll buffer the danger and increase my chance of surviving.""What?" Czar blurted out, his eyes agape. "And you think I'll join you with such logic? I'm no one's danger buffering scheme.""It's not as if you have a choice, do you?""And why should I lie? Everyone wants to survive at all costs, no?" Ezekiel rolled his eyes. "If you're capable, you'll survive, some will die in your stead. If you're not, you'll die and pave ways for others. You pick your struggles." He shrugged. "And will you be an extra burden? Yes,
9. Dangers Of The Wastelands
Czar's breath felt weak. With timez his skin turned grey covered with blisters. He observed himself, feeling life slip out of him. Yet, he stopped not. He persevered, taking slow, heavy steps forward. Sometimes, he hid from an Undead, sometimes he ran. But right now, he could only pray that no Undead would sight him. Otherwise he would be dead. "I must've been poisoned somewhere," he thought, releasing a laboured breath. Aliyah was wrapped in rags. Every part of her body including her face which made her look like a mummy. That was the best he could do before she got poisoned like him. It had been twelve hours since the start of his journey. Eight since he met that woman. His stomach churned remembering his choices, but he shook his head off. Yes, he could've taken the baby with him, but at what cost and risk? He wouldn't lie to himself. Even Aliyah was enough burden for him. Yet, he should add an infant to the struggle? He doubt they'd all survive if he did that. His best bet
8. For Survival
Czar's breath ceased, covering Aliyah's mouth. They hid behind a large rock. Hearts raced. Muscles tensed.Amidst the fog, they watched a lonesome Undead march forward, its eyes scanning the surrounding. It reached a meter and a half. Thin like desert thorns, and a barbed tail that dragged on the ground. The Undead occasionally turned and looked in their direction making Czar's legs trembled, holding Aliyah tighter. After moving a few yards, the Undead changed direction. Its tail screeched as it coiled on the ground. He looked exactly at the rock hiding Czar and Aliyah, and he approached it with a blank face.'No, please just go, you didn't see us.' Czar's chest rose and fell. His face ashen. The grip on Aliyah tightened. She wanted to wince, but his mouth force any sound back to her throat. When the Undead got to the rock he scanned it and dug his claws at the base of the boulder. Something struggled and rattled for a few seconds then it stopped — dead. The Undead brought it out
7. Void Light
Captain Azariah headed one of the Battalions under the 7th Division — Void Light. Unease rippled in the air. All officers present in the briefing room tensed. Captain Azariah sat at the centre. The thirty Wing Commanders under him sat adjacent to the centre. All eyes on the youth. The dark man with bushy brows next to him, Commander Jafari, cleared his throat as soon as the last person walked in, sitting farthest to their Captain. "Captain we're all ready. ""Proceed," Azariah said in a hushed tone. "Yes sir.""We've received an order from the 7th Div HQ to charge into the Wastelands. Retrieve the Holy Fragments and evacuate immediately after.""What, the Wasteland?" Adam, the last Wing Commander to walk in blurted out. "Yes.""But we went for a survey just three weeks ago, and we all know the toll it took on us." He frowned.Jafari didn't stop him. His forehead creased as well glancing at Azariah. "Captain, w-what do you think?""The order?""Sir?""As the second in command off
6. The Scavenger Corps
7th Division Headquarters The tension in the meeting hall was palpable. Dozens of men sat across the lusterless rectangular table, all facing a woman who looked to be in her late thirties. Her auburn hair was packed into a ponytail. Clad in a black military uniforms that hugged her curves. A star engraved on her left shoulder pad sparkled, and the three dragon wings on her right shoulder add an air of mystery around her. To her left, a bald, rugged man in his forties sat. His chin rested on his knuckles. Similar military uniform, but rather than a star insignia, one dragon wing was engraved on his left shoulder and another one on his right. Several other figures were aguised in similar uniforms and insignia as the man. Although a few others had just one dragon wing on their right shoulder. "I believe you all know why I summoned you here," Valeria, the woman with the highest rank in their midst, uttered. No one replied. Rather, they frowned, all gazing at her with a plethora of e
5. Carved In Blood
Fog thickened along the coast. Faint sunrays struggled through, turning everything hazy.The crashing sound of the waves against the shoreline resounded in the vast expanse. The wind howled, insects chirped. "Argh!" Czar's eyes snapped open."W-where am I?"Hazy memories flashed in his head like a mirage. A peculiar scene struck hard — vivid, bloody, and unnerving. "Noooo!" Czar jolted awake, groaning as he collapsed back to the ground. Beads of sweats coalesced on his forehead. His muscles sour and burning. Straining his eyes, he saw the fog. It stretched out into the distance, obscuring the horizon. His joints ached, his throat, arid. "Mum, Elira…""Ahhhh." He screamed, his body jerking."No, mum, Elira. ""They are…""They are — dead. " Czar's teeth clattered, his body shivering as the cold wind grazed his skin. "No, that's not possible, Mummmm." "Eliraaaa. " "I, I need to get up, Mum and Elira… they need my help." He gritted his teeth, forcing himself to stand up, his elbo
