"What the hell is he doing here?"Kay asked Fristborn and he sighed. She was visibly angry, he knew she was always angry but at that, it appeared as if all of the anger inside her had summed up. She took a daring step towards him and he just closed my eyes, trying to show her that he meant no harm."How can you bring that person here? What the hell were you thinking Fristborn?" She yelled again."I just need you to calm down Kay...""Do not tell me to fucking calm down! What is wrong with you? Recently you have been making terrible decisions that endanger the lives of everyone here. First, you bring in some random mage and now you bring in the king. The freaking king! The pillar behind our persecutions."She said and winced, pacing around before she settled back to him. The other mages in the room all looked at us. They shared her opinion but he knew he may be able to convince them."I Know you are angry. I am too. But this is a time when we need to stay together. We are fighting an

Alastair groaned as the effect of the alcohol he had consumed began to exert its effect on him. He got up Lazily from the grass he had passed the night on, a distance not too far from a horse's stable. As he stood up, one of the horses kept looking at him. He scoffed when he saw the horse."What are you looking at?"He asked the horse and trudged along. He was speaking with random animals now? He was still drunk then. The sunlight hit his face and he groaned, shielding his eyes from the light. He sighed and kept walking.The previous night had been a long one for him. Alastair had gotten tired of everything and decided to take a break. He knew he had failed in his mission and the world might burn for it. He could not even keep Cara safe and closer to him. He had to lose her. Just one simple task and he had to lose her.And to make matters worse, the last time he checked, she had demons hunting her as well. How was he supposed to protect her if he doesn't know where she is? How was he

Alastair followed the men as they kept walking under the hot sun. The heat of the sun made the pain on his face and his bruises worse. He could have brewed a healing potion but he was following a lead that led somewhere he did not really know. He just had the feeling that he needed to follow them. The men, on the other hand, had noticed that Alastair had been following them since they left the bar. They didn't react at the moment. They too were curious to know who he was. As they continued walking, the men took a sudden turn to their left and entered an alley.Alastair slowed down. He knew what was about to happen and the effect of the alcohol was starting to wear off him. That was part of the good things associated with being a mage. Their bodies had a way of self-regulating minor disturbances quicker than the bodies of normal humans. That was why he requested two cups of the strongest ale. That was what it took to get him drunk.The moment Alastair stepped into the alley, the two

"What the hell was that?"Nomi asked Alastair as he kept the energy within the barricade. Another tremor came again and Nomi yelped. She was thinking the walls would come down on her and sadly, she did not trust Alastair enough to know that he would keep her safe. She only just met him, did she not?"What the hell is happening?"She asked again and that time her voice going a little too high. She was scared and she made no efforts to conceal it."I would say Apollo is getting ready to work. You know what his plans are, right?" He asked her."The plan to destroy the world and build a new one from its image? His image? Of course, I do. It is the only thing he spoke about when we were married. The very thing he married me for. But he doesn't have enough power to launch that mind of attack, does he?"Alastair groaned. The barricade was not bulging and it was taking so much time, a substance he did not have. He shot in even greater energy and held it in. The barricade vibrated and was begi

Alastair and Apollo fell from the air, with Alastair falling into a house filled with fruits and Apollo falling on the hard ground. Alastair could hear him groan and even his own body was aching. He had not healed.The door to the building suddenly ripped open and a vine grabbed Alastair's leg, dragging him out of the building. As the vine was about to impale him, Alastair dodged it and grabbed a dagger from the ground with Which he was able to cut the vine."I had such high hopes for you. Seeing you after all these times. You were always like a little brother to me. I thought I could still treat you the same way but turns out you are not meant for greatness."Apollo told him as he approached, his hand lighting with that same energy. Alastair tried to stand but Apollo was faster. He kicked Alastair in the face and Alastair felt blood sip from the large wound on his cheeks.Then he grabbed Alastair and threw him against a cart that was just sitting around there. Alastair groaned as he
