First attempt
****The three preteens huddled in a cramped basement, hearts pounding like tribal drums, their heads echoing with each muffled sound above. The Anti-imperium soldiers scoured the cottage, their heavy boots thumping as they searched every crevice, every shadowed nook—but the kids were nowhere to be found.The soldier leading the search, a menacing figure in a dark uniform, turned sharply toward the bully who had brought them here. The bully's bravado crumbled under the soldier's icy glare. "Did you think this was just a game?" The soldier's voice sliced through the air, leaving no room for doubt."No! I swear, I was just—just here with the boy who killed Captain Nim!" The bully's voice trembled, panic bubbling to the surface. He could barely meet the soldier's piercing gaze.Silence hung in the air, thick and oppressive, until the soldier signaled to his second-in-command with a slight nod. "Burn it down after we've searched! Not a single pole should remain standing!" General Darko

…Jax’s eyes burned furiously, the rage that had welled up couldn't be easily suppressed, and the urge to kill the man was on his mind. It was uncontrollable. The soldier laughed mischievously. He was waiting for a confirmation to prove that Jax was not an ordinary citizen. He was convinced that Jax was the son of Lord Zane. “Won't give up, huh?!” the soldier criticized and hesitantly released Jax who was was disgruntled. He stared at his colleagues and then the three jocks who had been watching closely. The soldier turned to another soldier. “Shall I borrow your knife?!” he asked. He received it wearing a daunting smile. He grabbed Jax again, who had been trying to gather himself at all costs, gasping from time to time. “Now, I am going to prove to your servants that their master is an imperium himself. I'll make a lot of money out of you!” he said with dark smile, and the other soldiers laughed hysterically. “Seriously, I can tell that he is the son of the late Lord Zane. Lo
Who are they?
(This chapter contains a description of strangling, read on with caution)***A day had gone by,Ms. Tank had calmed down a little. Jax tried to initiate a conversation in the hope that he wouldn't spank him.If he had been asked what the woman meant by Anti-imperium inquisitors, then he'd have been speechless. Although he was speechless, he needed answers to his questions.He walked over to the distraught woman who was seated on the balcony of her bistro. Jax inhaled and exhaled before he took his next step. “Ms. Tank, would you like me to—” “Go away!” the gruesome woman snapped without looking in his direction. He wondered if the young man they had taken was her son. He didn't want to conclude, since the woman hadn't mentioned it yet. “I apologize!” he said calmly, sitting next to her. “Why did they take Noa? He's a good person, isn't he? Is he your son?” “You know nothing.” she barked at him. “You don't give up easily, do you?” she sighed wearily, fiddling with the hem of
Reality
By morning, the nicer man had taken him to the woman he mentioned last night. Jax didn't support the idea, but his chances were rather slim or none. He had done the best that he could. Jax stared at the broad-hipped woman—whom he assumed to be in her late thirties— who blanketed his petite body with her venomous gaze. A kind of gaze that tousled the hairs on his skin. Her dark gaze sent chills across his body: was he already in danger? Jax muttered. “Alright, Ms. Tank, I shall now take my leave. I promise that he's a good kid!” the man added, patting him, then veered to leave. Jax was scared. Fear enthralled him instantly—the fear of being alone. The thought of it alone ravaged him. Jax ran after the man, nabbing the hem of his coat. He stared at Jax carefully—like the first time that he had seen him in that field in Kistan—as if he had more to say. His warm eyes washed him over, taking him in the arms. He crouched to his level. “You are going to be fine, you'll be, of cour
Home?
Meanwhile, on the other end. Jax recalled everything like it happened a moment ago. Leaving him to bask in questions, questions that had no legitimate answers. Dragging his knees to his chest, he sat on wads of straw in the trunk of a rusty truck. Since he had landed in the cornfields, Jac lost his way. He knew nowhere.Jax pleaded with the aged men to drive him to the place that they were headed. Luckily, they agreed to help the young boy. “We are headed for Pax City, it's several miles from here!” one of the aged men said to him. Jax was used to being cared for by dozens of maids, male servants, and soldiers. His favorite of all was Ki, his father’s second in command. “It's great!” Jax said under my breath. He was weakened to the core, and it felt like his limbs had just been fractured, and his bones had been crushed into shreds, but it slightly baffled him that he was rapidly recovering.“I am indeed a curse! What sort of ability is this?” he asked himself, still as confused
Lotham wins
KISTAN CITYJax had been watching his father and uncle dangerously combating—putting in and causing more properties to burn—in the hallway, but all that he could think of was assisting his father, who was now on his knees, dampened in the pool of his blood, while Lotham viciously laughed, relishing the moment of gore.With tears in his eyes, Jax knew that he could defend his father, but how? The questions in his head constantly revoked his steps when the burning woods stood like a barricade between him and his father.Zane could feel his son's presence, but then he didn't want the boy anywhere close. "Your doom is here. It's NOW!" Lotham's voice echoed through the blaze. He had drawn his sword to decapitate Zane while Zane caught the silhouette of the boy behind Lotham. Fear altering Jax’s body. The last thing that he wanted was Lotham's attention to be transferred to the boy.Zane fisted, gathering the only strength he had left, pointing his hand in the direction of the boy as a s
