Chapter 44. Friend or Foe.
Leaves fell in the courtyard just across the bar where Rhok happily spent his time. Staying in the Silver Blades Guild had become something he was getting accustomed to. It's not like he had another choice as to where else he could go.So he happily spent his day lazying about, Liora had someone else to talk to. The Spirit Mage. Although he wasn't sure what that entailed exactly she seemed happy enough to talk about spells and whatnot with Eryn. That gave Rhok the peace of mind he always wanted, except something ruined this precious moment for him.Standing in the courtyard, looking directly at him was Dian. The man who he had battled the night before, he hadn't given up and still wanted to talk with Rhok for Lord knows what.'What the hell mate? I need to sleep!' He cursed inwardly, but unfortunately, Rhok knew the kind of man that he was, the kind to never relent till he got exactly what he wanted. And in this case, it was Rhok.'Sighs.'Rhok finished the mug of wine that rested on
Chapter 43. Duel.
The man who stood before Rhok backed up by a few meters, he reached for his blade and drew it, levelling it at Rhok."How did you find me?" He asked calmly.Rhok shrugged, although he doubted the man would be able to see his facial expression in the dark of the night."How else, I can't be spied upon. And you made it a bit too obvious" he lied."Impossible. I made sure to hide myself from yours or anyone's detection abilities" he cried out, taking a few steps back.'He's that good huh?' Rhok sighed."Alright, I'm tired, out with it. What do you want?" Rhok asked the young man tiredly, although he couldn't see the man's face, he knew the man was quite powerful. He was a head taller than Rhok, which was actually pretty tall for a human being.The man sidestepped, walking in a half circle, trying to gauge Rhok who still rested on the wall he had appeared from."Alright. You've been following me for quite a while. You know just how tired I am, I need to sleep. So let's get this over with
Chapter 42. I Spy.
The sun edged itself over the horizon, threatening to rob light from the world itself, but the streets in the Capitol just began brimming with life and excitement. Shops closed, vendors packed their belongings and fled for fear of losing their merchandise.While the pubs and bar opened in full swing, men rushed in packs as they told each other of their stories, the problems they encountered and the politics of the nation itself.Amongst the clamor, three figures walked in silence, their heads lay down as they walked tiredly through the streets. Rhok looked about, his feet were bruised from waking two days non stop, the frozen bundle in his arms had made them sore from carrying it all day. The other two girls didn't fare much better but more than anything.He had been on constant guard. Someone had been following them for the past two days. He wasn't sure who they were or why. His guess was that they were from the cult itself and we're tracking him down.If that was the case then he h
Chapter 41. Level Up.
Standing confused, his eyes darted between the two females that stood before him, then back to the demon. More than startled, he was perplexed.'What in tarnation had happened? The demon looked like it had been run through a meat grinder with just the bones to spare. And I did that?'"Me?" He poked at his chest. "You're crazy, you know that right?" He chuckled a bit, maybe the demon was already dying by the time they had found it, Liora probably weakened it with some spell while the other girl finished it off."You think I?... Would face that thing?" She pointed at it once more then poked Rhok's chest. "Deal with it, you had an insane power-up, something possessed your body and killed the demon almost instantly" She shrugged.'Insane power up?'He shook his head in disbelief."It's true" the odd girl spoke for the first time, bowing her head slightly."You were possessed by the Spectre of Death, it's a fragment that still remains" She bowed in respect towards Rhok."Hey now..." He sai
Chapter 40. Prey on the Hunter.
"A spirit Mage?" Liora whispered, she had never seen one in her life, of course, she hadn't been allowed to go out much often, but being a Spirit Mage was even rarer than making a contract with a spirit.Yet one stood in front of her, unbelievable."Why hide yourself from my presence? Why not offer your aide to the ones you called here? Such insolence" Rhok turned with a frown on his face, although Eryn couldn't see it because she facing the ground with her head bowed."The spirits... They warned me... I couldn't defy them" she confessed."Defy them? You? Who is given the authority over them is bothered with such frivolities?" Rhok walked towards her, raising his hand up.Shadows surrounded Eryn, wrapping around her as a snake would its prey, squeezing her, attempting to squish her into a pulp."Please..." She cried out, choking and gasping for breath, but nothing changed."You dare... Risk his body? Bringing him to battle a demon? While you cower and hide in fear?" Rhok clenched his
Chapter 39. The Spirit Mage.
The air suddenly changed!Liora felt it, she had tried her best to keep shut, felt the reverberations of Rhok's battle with the demon, she had seen him get beaten beyond compare, brutalized, broken and tossed about like a rag doll.She knew he had given up his life to save hers, she felt it in the command he had given her, yet she could do nothing against the barrier the demon had set up, nothing but watch her brother get beaten to death.But she wasn't sure what was going on.She was sure that Rhok's legs and arms had been broken by the demon, yet there he floated in the air, shrouded in complete darkness, so whole and complete it sent shivers down her spine.This was a power she had never felt before, nor was it one in which she could understand its depths. Encompassing, whole, complete. Yet so foreign and atrocious. This was deeper than the power the demon held, much more fearsome than anything any human had a right to own...Not even the saints of this world could boast of such st
