Chapter 65: War 2
Alvin pushed hard on the horses. Theron and Axel were riding alongside him. Behind them twelve royal soldiers and several knights from Meyer were following, having been given instructions from the investigators already on site. Everyone had been quiet since they left Arkarin. With the risk of Fred being taken it was a heavy topic to bring up.Finally Theron spoke, "If it's Fred's blood..." "He's alive." Theron stared at him. "You don't know that." "No." Alvin stayed focused on the road ahead. "But Felan demanded him alive." Axel frowned. "That doesn't mean it won't kill him." Alvin turned to face him. Axel stared back. Although it was blunt... It was the truth. Alvin looked ahead. "We'll find him."The road got narrower. They approached a royal soldier who was standing by the entrance to an old path that was nearly overgrown. He raised his hand. "Baron Meyer!" Alvin tugged on the reigns. They slowed. He bowed. "This is the right place." Alvin got off the horse. A f
Chapter 64: War 1
By the time the sun rose, the situation had deteriorated. The initial isolated attacks had increased, causing chaos to the military supply outposts, communications centres, key pathways and smaller outposts. While they were unable to gain any territory due to them not staying in place for long, they were creating chaos by forcing our troops to react. This also meant that any damaged pathways will slow down our reinforcement and our supply wagons have been destroyed. They have been searching for Princess Lyra for days. And now they have to fight.Inside the war room, the officers were moving around the long table. The map was covered in markers, some of them were placed on the western side of Arkarin and some further North. King Aurelius was sat at the head of the table. He listened to each report. His eyes were showing more signs of tiredness, however his voice was calm. "Report." The officer bowed. "The military crossing in the north has been attacked. The enemy
Chapter 63: The Man Called Felan 2
He placed the parchment back on the table. "There's no broken channels stopping him from using magic. He's not injured. There's nothing obviously wrong with him. His mana is in the right place." He tapped the empty circle. "There's no Path." Her expression became uneasy. "And you want to put Dark magic into him?" "I want to see what happens when external Dark mana interacts with someone who has mana but no affinity." "You could kill him." "Yes." She froze. He continued. "Which is why I'm not going to be careless." Her anger rose. "So I'm meant to feel better knowing you're going to carefully experiment on him?" "No." "Stop treating him like an object!" He looked at her. "He's not." "Then treat him like a person." "I am." She stared. His expression didn't change. "You can still study a person." "You really don't get it do you?" "That assumes I care about him being normal." She shook her head. "He's not going to co-operate." "I don't require cooperation." "He's going to fight back."
Chapter 62: The Man Called Felan
Everything had changed. Lyra had realised, there had been quite a bit of quietness. Some guards would wander the halls, some couriers would occasionally enter Felan's rooms, and some small groups would disappear down the halls that Lyra was not allowed to go down. But now there was non-stop commotion. Boots thudded on the stone outside her room. Weapons were being carried down the passages. Commands were shouted. Something was happening. Something big. She sat on the edge of her small bed. Another group came past. There were at least six people. Maybe more. Then everything went quiet. She frowned. "What are you doing?" No answer. She stood up. Although her ankles were tied down, making her movement limited and her mana difficult to collect too much of at a time, she had tried enough to know that it wouldn't do much good to struggle. But she still walked towards the door. "Guard!" No reply. She knocked. "Guard!" A few seconds passed before the door opened. A Black Path Mage stood t
Chapter 61: The Kingdom Moves 2
Salia looked out at the open gates. "Fred always says we should think before we do something stupid." Narissa looked at her. "Are you talking about him?" "Who else?" Salia clenched her fists. "He always tells everyone to be careful but then does something like this." Narissa gave a small troubled smile. "That's Fred." Salia looked away. "When he gets back I'm going to give him a punch." Nalia immediately shook her head. "No!" "Why?" "Because he'll get hurt." Salia fell silent. She hadn't thought. Her anger was slowly fading and her worry took over. "I'll give him a punch when he's better." Narissa sighed. No one laughed. Not even Salia. The gates to the Royal Academy remained closed. The damage had not been fully repaired and soldiers were still walking around. Investigators were looking around where the kidnappers had fought. Students had been sent home but several had returned to the entrance to see if they could find out any information. Kale Draven stood outside the gates with h
Chapter 60: The Kingdom Moves 1
Daylight broke over Arkarin, but it was far from a calm day. The news of the kidnapping of Princess Lyra had spread across the Empire of Arkadis. Merchants were talking about it in the streets, noble families were sending messages to the palace and more soldiers were walking around the capital. The Royal Academy was now closed to regular students and guards were set up on key roads and entrances. More news reached the palace. Fred Meyer - the third son of Baron Alvin Meyer - had gone missing from his family's estate. This only added to the tension. Inside the war room of the palace, several nobles and military commanders were gathered around a large table. The table had a detailed map of the empire laid out with markers around Arkarin and surrounding areas. King Aurelius stood at the head of the table looking over the reports. Alvin Meyer stood to the right of the king, with Theron and Axel behind him. None of them looked particularly happy to be there. King Aurelius looked up.
