"Her? Whose?" Merida asked again. "Your mother Merida!" Jason answered. . . 'Our mother? How does he know her?' Merida was now looking at Jason inquisitively, to which he replied with a laugh, "Don't worry, it isn't like I loved her or anything. But you know, she was the best mage I knew and everyone respected her. When I heard your father was marrying her, it made me and my wife really happy. She was a gifted mage and if she would have lived, I'm sure she'd have surpassed even those Plane guardians, but…" His tone got a bit serious, "She got cursed by one of the appraisers of the demon race, a curse that
'Legendary Ace! This guy? After hundreds of years?' Theodore was puzzled. He then saw Aeneas taking out his swords, and they were no joke. They had this very vibrant golden halo, definitely artifacts, but they were too pure. Aeneas jumped onto the coming enemy, "Watch out" Theodore called out to him as he had seen the enemy's strength. Ignoring his call, Aeneas sliced the enemy with both his swords and landed on the ground behind them. 'Lateral Sweep', a simple but effective slash. To Theo's surprise, all of them who attacked Aeneas were reduced to half. Ephesus was a high elven kingdom, and strangely the ruler was not an elf but was Vulpine, a subspecies of Elves and lives quite longer than other species. She’s the current ruler and it’s said that she has lived over 108 years and still looks astonishingly young. . Being in the high mountains, Ephesus mostly was mostly covered in snow throughout the years. It also had to do with a high concentration of pure ley lines around the area. The magicules that were generated due to ley lines would channel heat away from the air and make it colder. Due to its geology, it was hard to march on such territory and thus had managed to stay away from wars for quite a while. But the main reason for them to Burning Soul Allies
As Theodore and others entered the healing chambers, there were many people already waiting for their turn. The guard led them to the special chambers where Jason was already being healed. There were many high-level mages working on healing people and was a legend healer as well. She was healing Jason as his injuries looked quite deep. It was a tall room and had a big shiny crystal hanging from the roof. It wasn't a chandelier but was a large crystallized mana essence. It was the source of power for healers and mages around the palace. . . After a while, she turned towards Vivian who was looking at her with a worrying look,
As that beast closed in, arrays of blasts started pouring on the dragon."Was that small fly out of your reach, Legendary Ace'' Griffin asked Aeneas in a ridiculing way."If I had a pair of wings like you…" he replied in a sharp tone to which Griffin laughed and walked to the gallery,"Move aside everyone."At his command, all the wizards in the vicinity moved back letting the dragon close in.As he closed in Griffin chanted a spell, "Gravitas".To his chant, the dragon was pinned to the ground, the next moment he was struggling to get up."A stubborn one, let's see how you handl
In the upper plane of Nine Hells, a minion spoke with determination causing an uproar, "It's time to overthrow those arrogant Gods and reclaim what is truly ours." "Then what about the primal plane, there are some powerhouses we can't overlook." Another minion raised a question to which everyone got silenced. "Those flies are not even worth bothering with, our master can clean them up if you wish so." This time an old minion sitting in the dark corner spoke draining everyone's attention. He was no ordinary minion as he had a royal crest on it, meaning he was a direct subordinate of a demon lord and not just any messenger. Which demon lord, no one could figure that out.<
The next day in the morning the scouts reported that the attacks were halted completely as the enemy troops were not moving any further for now. Further, they reported that the enemy forces have taken many of their people as hostages for labour work. It seemed like they were taking only men into the forest. Most probably to the Etherblade. The scouts couldn't go any further and thus it was a mere estimation. It was quite easy to understand the intentions of Etherblade kingdom by now, they were trying to use the situation in their favour as best as possible. The southern territory was in chaos, even Jason's brother Anthony was facing many problems after their business and communication were cut off with other neighbouring nations. The room got quiet suddenly. Theodore was holding onto the envelope with wide eyes. It had been many years since he received any gift from his mother, after her death his father also stopped talking much about her. It was known to many that his mother was quite secretive about her life, thus everyone in the room was looking at him curiously. After a brief moment, he opened up the envelope. To his surprise the envelope was empty. Everyone was confused to see this, but a moment later the letter got engulfed in fire and burned up. Theodore felt a sudden pain in the back of his palm. Everyone closed on him to see what hBurning Soul The Gift
…They were taken to the hall by the sentinels.As they had heard of, sentinels were giant armoured beastmen, that armour looked like the toughest thing in the world.Being hauled by them, no one had a chance of escaping.At his palace at the heart of Arnor, all the intruders were presented in the main hall in front of their overseer!One could tell from long who was the lord here.As per tales, he surely was quite charming and taller than others in the hall.He wasn’t wearing any crown, but he didn't even need one.“Here, father! One of them was carrying this.&rdqu
…“Argh! I’m here to take you home little sister!What are you doing with these filths?You have better things to do!”Arlo spoke to Naomi completely ignoring everyone else.Theo was standing beside Ember with a shocked expression,“How dare you do that?”He started boiling up as shock transformed into anger,After all, he had shot Ember mercilessly!“Did you say something?Ah!
The next morning everyone was ready at the given time making it easier for them to leave without gaining attention!They left the cart and the horse behind any further and it'd be a beacon for Duvrion’s forces.Theo along with Ember and Luna took to the sky after leaving the Village, as for Vivian, Nuae, and Catherine, they had taken their route which was from another side of the village.Ember and Theo were keeping an eye on Aeneas and Naomi as Aeneas had asked so, the region they were to travel to was filled with guards and it was a relatively highly secure area, though they had no other opening to enter and thus had to enter from there.Of course, Vivian’s team was informed to contact if anything went south.It
…As planned Theo along with Ember arrived at the Inn.It was more like a tavern with beds to sleep, but for their low-key adventure, it was perfect.Before entering he noticed the cart which Aeneas and others were traveling in! The cart was a mess with all the mud around, it looked worked out.He slowly opened the door of the Inn to enter and the first thing he saw was Aeneas being tied up in the corner with a piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth,looking all guilty.The girl at the reception was also terrified for some reason, not to mention the other people had a baffled look on their faces.His si
...Ember's soul was fading, her divinity diminishing bit by bit. Though Eleanor was a goddess, she couldn't deny the harsh truth: her power was severely limited on the primal plane. Earlier, she had nearly exhausted all her strength to halt the enemy....Eleanor had been blessed with divinity, but after living on the primal plane for so long, her divine powers had waned. Her diminishing divinity was the source of this weakness. She barely had enough to sustain herself, but now she saw no other option.'Looks like this is the only way! I might not be able to see you again, Serena! I'm sorry to break our promise!'With these thoughts, she stood up and closed her eyes. In a few moments, a small halo hovered in fr
… The scene was quite messy. Ember was pinned on the ground soaked in her own blood as an invisible force made sure she didn’t move a bit, while one guy sat on her and tried to rip apart her while the other stayed guard! The tables had turned for the worse now, just one move and Belphegor managed to rip off her clothes revealing her bare skin. He grabbed her chest and poked his craws in causing a stream of blood to peek out and slide by. Her eyes widened by the horror she was facing, “Got some strange clothes on you, enchanted, oh! How great I feel, how great how great how gr
As she was being humiliated, she could only think of the short time she spent with her master and his companions, … Last night in the dungeon, a delicate yet fierce dragon was tamed. “Are you my master?” This was where her journey began yet again. She was a dragon who had transformed into Mortal form baffling everyone, especially Vivian, Vivian started murmuring to herself, “Master! &nbs
… Asking his leave, she walked past him into the bushes nearby, unaware of the danger, Theo was still eating up his portion. She walked a while and stood to look around as she clenched her fists tightly. “Looks like we’ve got ourselves a clever one” A voice came from nearby bushes. “Hmm! Looks like the little one doesn’t want us to get the man! No problem, No no no no no problem is what I feel! Such a young beauty is worth a hundred men, how delightful the day is being to us! My brain, my body, and my soul is slipping! I fear we might not get such prey again.” This time the voice came from a seemingly old guy who was wearing a long hood and held a wooden stick, it loo
“Whoa! Everything looks so small from up here!”, Theo was enjoying his ride. From here he could see a vast area of forest and lots of water springs. He was even able to see birds flying way below them! “Right Master! If not for them we could have reached the destination by ourselves!” Ember replied with pride. “Hmm, but we aren't sure about the location and we shouldn’t leave them behind as well, we might need to warn them if something comes up! And one more thing.” As he replied she slowed a bit to hear him clearly, “Can you not call me ‘Master!’, It feels a bit weird. People might think you are a slave or something and I don’t want that, besides it’s a bit embarrassing.” Hearing him she chuckled a bit before replying,<
