"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
