The place could no longer be called a forest, it was a fortress. With empty roads formed of grass, towering trees, looked like buildings, each relayed in a way similar to those in a city.Armored beast of a specific kind wandered every corner, moving in such an ordered fashion that they resembled guards that were patrolling.Each group comprised a certain species.A large bulky fully plated ones would mainly lead them, followed by the light long legged runners, and lastly were the type that either could spit poison or breath flame from their mouths.“This is fascinating. Do you see how organize these creatures are?”Hemlock did not bother to hide his amusement, his eyes glimmering at the wonder that he could not mask his smile.“He’s completely done it this time.”Asron clenched his jaw, displeased by how things had changed.There was hardly any semblance of the forest that he had left and the flora that were there no longer look like anything that they had ever seen in the land.Ther

“Shouldn’t you be doing something?”Hemlock could now move closer to him, seeing that things had finally subsided within the room because of what had just happened.“I’d like to see where this is going.”Asron kept his eye on Chris and the drogan.They watch him as he took the warrior into a hanging bed, carefully tucking the guy there, treating it as if it was a huge child.“My lord! Help us.”Eldegor pleaded, feeling the tightening of the vines that were holding him.Lerold could barely speak since the plants covered his mouth, while Groshian had remained unconscious and was now encased in a much sturdier root.“How does little one know you?”It was the thought that kept running through Asron’s mind.From what he remembers, Chris had never ventured out of the village unless they visited the capital. And the general hadn’t left the eastern fort until recently.Though things were adding up, a lot of question continued to pile. Such as, who was the mysterious warrior? Why were the bodi

After stopping Chris, everything seems to have calmed down. Though the beasts remained roaming around the area, they were not a problem considering that they followed orders that were given to them.Now that things had subsided, they had to fix all their affairs, starting with dealing with the issues of the villagers and the youth that survive.Gathered every single one that was there, Asron, along with the two wizards, held a meeting outside. There were but a handful of survivors and they were all the young village warriors that went to the eastern fort.“We didn’t think he’d blame himself for all of this. We just thought he was angry at them. None of us notice he was killing himself.”Cortus bit his lip, feeling guilty for instigating the siege against the capital. They’d found out that all of it where the doings of the youngsters of the village.Of course, Chris being out of his mind and mourning the loss of the people, gave what they wanted and provided everything that they needed

“What is going to happen now?”Hemlock heaved a sigh as he finished covering the last of the graves.After a ceremony honoring the people of the village and saying their farewells. They finally put them to rest. Outside of the dome so that the sun could shine on them.“I will make amends for the things that I did, and those that I have not done.”Still in pain, Asron gritted his teeth to keep his tears from falling.He remained kneeling in front of his wife’s grave, asking for forgiveness in his mind.He placed a bunch of those blue magical flowers that Chris had created, after finding out that he had made them in memory of Herlein, naming them after her.He no longer had qualms with his use of magic, considering that he had always used it for the greater good of them all.“Have you thought about what you will do with the royals?”The grand wizard looks into the horizon, in the capital's direction. He lets out a sigh, knowing that it won’t be long before problems would arise.They set

They had about a thousand men of the eastern armies, along with troops from some of the neighboring lords of the lands that supported him. They were now marching on for the capital, ready to rage for battle. Up on a cliff overlooking their army, the two commanders stood there, gazing at the sizable military that they had. Thanks to Chris’s preparation, they did not take long to mobilize as they had been preparing for an all out attack for some time now. “I think this would all be over if we included little one’s forces with us.” Hemlock was wiping the staff that was given to him by the human, making sure that it had no dent and was not showing any signs of incompatibility with his magic. “I’d rather not involved him anymore than he already is.” Asron heaved a sigh. He had left him there with those beasts and only took Cortus and the youngsters. With how he was, he did now want to add up to the young ones’ dilemma, granting that they were going to war. “We’ll, even with this nu
