Erugard sat in his office, but it felt like that comfortable office chair was on fire. He kept reviewing the documents on his table over and over again. They was also another explanation for the probable reason for Jiri's personal visit. That was if he wanted to do something personally. Could it be releasing the prisoners? he thought. But immediately rejected that reason. The Jade throne was already aware of the two fugitives. Even Lord Jiri would not dare go against the will of the Jade Throne. He can't possibly be that foolish.Ellen showed Jiri and his small entourage of pretty women to their quarters. She bowed her head and was about to take her to leave when Jiri stopped her."So it was you who captured the Thembeka prisoners or at least that's what I heard."She turned back to him, "I only captured one, your grace. And it was in accordance to the will of the Jade throne.""Hmm!" Jiri stroked his cleanly shaved jaw as he pretended to be deep in thought, "D

"Are you sure this is the place?" Madeline asked Derek. She took a look at his face and shyly hid her face that was starting to feel hot with embarrassment. Derek on the other hand really did not understand. This was probably the tenth time she had done that. He was starting to think that there was something on his face. Then again it was possible, after all, they stood in the middle of a tropical forest. But after checking several times, he found nothing.They stood in front of a tall big mangrove tree. It was a tree far unlike the one that lead to the 'market' place. This one looked older and was crowned with a treehouse. "Yes, I am sure it is." Derek put a hand on the tree, "I can feel that runes have been used here but the method of usage was very crude. Like trying to start a fire with the primitive methods of using stones instead of the ease of a lighter."While the others prepared for the assault on the enemy's fort, Derek needed to bring in the old man that was u

"Why!? I know it was not your fault, but you could at least have told me." As Tiny talked, her pressure on Lydia reduced until it was practically non-existent. Even though Tiny had resided her pressure, Lydia felt as if the weight on her had significantly increased and her other knee also touched the ground. The pressure she felt was not that of strength, but of guilt. The intensely heavyweight of guilt. She herself did not know why she felt guilty. She shouldn't feel this way. Besides, she was the person that was taken advantage of. But when she felt those drops of tears on her skin, she felt as if she had betrayed her friend even though she had done it to save one. This was a completely complicating feeling.Tiny looked at her and then she threw her halberd away and walked out of the sparring ground. As she left, she cleaned her teary eyes as she called to Aesir. "Hey! Dum dum come, let us go take a walk in the market. Aesir pointed to himself in surprise. Although he did n

All she wanted was to be moody and in peace. Probably drown her worries in a bottle or two. But these set of unreasonable fools wanted to mess with her already shitty day. The beast men laughed out loud in the obvious provocation. Aesir watched on as Tiny took step after step until she stood before them. All the while, she was steady in her steps and didn't rush. The waiter and the men watched as the small looking figure walked towards the beast-man that had the bottles of wine from the Waiter. "I am thirsty, you took two battles from me." She lifted her head, "You are going to buy me two to quench my thirst and maybe a dozen to quench my anger.""Huh!" The beastman looked at the petite figure in front of him and laughed aloud. "Who the heck was this brat," He thought. From the intonation of the voice, it was obviously a young girl. A very young girl. "Hahaha... Of course young missy, I'll buy you as much as you want if you sit right here." He pointed to his big fat thi

Some men attempted to come to pick up the woman from the ground but the sight of Aesir's eyes when he turned and looked at them persuaded them not to try it. The vibe Aesir gave out was that made people feel the urge to be submissive to him. This was one of the many gifts of continually having to put your life on the line over and over again. The chubby man could not take it anymore, he took a pistol from a subordinate and fired it at Aesir.That was the catalyst that prompted the others to also let loose the pellets from their guns. But to their surprise, the moment their guns started shooting, Aesir was no longer in his previous location. He appeared in front of Tiny that was behind the crowd. "You can join now, you know!" He said before disappearing again and appearing in front of a thug. Well, at least that was how it seemed before their eyes.Aesir punched straight to his face before the muzzles of the guns pointed at him again, he had once again disappeared. He k
