When Hucar came to his senses, he could see that he was inside some kind of building. Gaze still blurry, he squeezes his eyes to get a better view of things. It jolted him awake at the sight of the place he was in.The walls were made of what looked like veiny skin, roots surrounded them, it formed a dome shape ceiling that was the same as the cathedrals, but erected with pillars of giant bones.In the middle of it all, he spotted what seemed to be an enormous oval seed, red as blood, hanging at the center. It had an opening which showed a being within it, covered in shadow that was looking at him.It was then that he noticed there were other of the same object, attached to each side of the walls.“Where am I?”He says sternly. It was the only thing he could do. As he hanged in place, they stretched out and bonded his arms and legs on a trunk.The figure did not answer, only tilting its head to observe him.He could feel it observing him, staring at every bit of his whole body.“Are y

The two friends were walking in the hallway. They forced them out of the council because they were causing them to argue about their options.As of now, the group was arguing about what to do, as they debated Asron and Hemlock took that as a chance to speak with each other.They haven’t had the chance to chat these past few months because they still considered him as a prisoner until the king got taken away.“I do not know what happened to little one, but don’t you think the others are acting odd? They definitely keeping something that we are not aware of.”It was the first thing that the grand wizard wanted to identify. With his friend there, he hoped the fellow could shed some light on it, being the adoptive father and all.“What I want to find out right now is why He’s doing all this. He is not the kind to act in this manner.”It caused the warrior’s face to crumple, frowning as he massages the middle of his nose before letting out a deep sigh. He has been thinking of the same thin

“You’re going through with this? If you go on your own, that’s basically a death sentence if he truly has lost his mind.”It was that one thing Hemlock feared the most. Fighting against a crazed magic user could be a challenge. And with the person being his friend’s adopted child, he worried that even with the warrior’s strength and experience, he might end up losing.“Who do you think is going to stop me?”A long frown along appeared on Asron. He stopped for a moment to face his friend before taking his saddle to attach to his steed.The only reason he had stayed there was because of Deshar’s plea. With the female gone, he was now free from his obligation and had a good excuse to depart, no longer wanting to stay there.“I know you wish to rescue the princess and all, but I can feel there is another cause why you’re itching to leave?”After a careful observation and watching how the warrior was in a hurry, the wizard could not help but think that there was a deeper explanation why hi

“Do we have any survivors?”It was the first thing that Asron asks the moment they stepped into the battlefield. Bodies scattered all over, and the generals and commanders that they were just having a conversation a while ago were now lying lifeless on the ground.“I’m afraid none, sir.”A guard who they ordered to go in search of wounded, shakes his head in disbelief.“It seems little one is becoming too accustomed to this.”It made Hemlock swallowed hard, seeing the large number of dead all around them. He felt both nauseated and terrified of what the youth was turning into. Since it looked like those things won’t be stopping.“His actions are a cause for concern for me. I need to deal with this as soon as possible.”Asron could not help but feel agitated. Now that the army of the north had fallen, he could no longer leave the place because it left him with guarding the young prince.This could have been avoided if he had only departed the moment he had the chance.He regretted not

“Eldegor, what are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be heading straight for the capital?”Asron’s voice was stern the moment they got close.It did not please him that the eastern army was there, considering that they should be somewhere else.It just made things worse for him, knowing they could cause a misunderstanding.Upon seeing the group, the general was wide eyed when he saw them. The fellow turned pale, his mouth agape, moving, but nothing came out of it.“Lord Asron, I didn’t think you’d be here.”He could finally say after a few more moments.The general’s actions just made Asron’s expression turn sour, especially because the guy’s mind seems to wander off somewhere.“You did not answer my question.”He asks once more.He noticed the man’s reaction, so it caused him to wonder what could their militia is doing in a place like that. Far from the main road and days away from their supposed route.“Those monsters, they took our prisoners.”Was all Eldegor could say. His wo
