The horse was getting tired and Asura had nothing to feed it. It was getting harder to pull along and Asura was getting annoyed.
"Aish...You lazy thing! Corporate and come along! Don't piss me off" He snapped trying to pull the exhausted horse.
Kai looked down at Asura and then sighed "I told you that this would be a burden to us. We should have just left it and I could simply walk"
Asura stopped pulling, looking up at Kai "How could you have walked in such a situation. you should be glad I brought this. Although your condition would have been worse" Asura said looking at the horse" Hey, buddy! What's up with you? Are you sick? Hungry?" He asked looking at the horse" If I get You food will you move?"
Kai listened to the silly conversation between the man and animal. He couldn't help but sigh. Kai stretched out his leg to get down but Asura held him up.
"Senior...No," Asura said "
Screams of the current commotion were heard from a distance, and looking ahead from the gate, the Heavenly soldiers could see a wild horse and two men approaching. They seem to be coming with remarkable speed. The soldier who was in charge of the gate guarding widened his legs and his hands. He moved his hands skillfully in the air and blasted an invisible force towards the approaching horse and then the horse and two men who were almost close by came to an abrupt stop. Asura looked at the soldiers who were now standing before them as the soldier who had stopped them looked at Asura, suspicious. He then stretched out his hands and the sketch paper was given to him. He looked at the sketch and looked directly at Asura. finally, they found him... Asura panicked a while as he looked at Kai and then at the soldiers who had their eyes on him. "So, we finally found you...were you perhaps thinking of e
Asura had felt something coming close to him from the side as he turned, only to see a red arrow approaching. From the glimpse he had, this arrow was red and had red flames at its arrow point. Before he could think of having a closer look or even think of avoiding it, the arrow had shut his left arm that was exposed to the street side and the instant pain struck him. Asura twisted his face from the pain and immediately lost balance and track of direction, He slipped through the rooftop and then fell sideways to his left. Down the rooftop and onto the ground of the street with a heavy bang. It all happened so fast, Kai had sensed the arrow coming but stopping it seemed impossible as he knew who this arrow was from. As Asura fell off the rooftop, he came to an abrupt stop and then jumped down to the ground where Asura had fallen. "Are you okay?" He asked as he helped Asura up. Asura
Asura flipped open his eyes with a gasp. He looked around at the dimly lit room where he was as he slowly got up to his feet. Confused, he stood there looking around at the cottage-looking room. It certainly was a cottage and the place looked like one. But he didn't know why he was here and how he was here. As he looked around for a possible explanation, Kai who was also sitting on the floor and leaning against the wall opened his eyes at the sound Asura was making. Asura looked down at Kai who had opened his eyes and now looking around in confusion too. He guessed he possibly couldn't see so perhaps he was trying to sense where this was. Asura bent down before Kai "Are you okay? Do you still feel hurt?" He asked. Kai felt his body and Chest but he wasn't feeling the pain anymore. It was like the injury had just disappeared. He was even more confused and surprised. "I'm okay.." "Your injury?" A
The melody was riding the night, breading the air with its cunning and seductive melody along with its blue dust. All who heard this melody were thrown into a pause. They'd stop and looked in the direction where this melody came from into the distance. Their views would be blurry and their thoughts dumb. They would be thrown into an illusion-like situation which would make them think they were still thinking straight but in reality. They were lost...And no one was an exception in this spell. The Soldiers who were moving around and those guarding the City gates all stopped and looked in the distant direction where this melody came from...They all paused sent into this illusion... The music continued for minutes gripping people into its spell and Kai had tried all he could in his power to hold the difficult spell long. He felt his strength dwindling and he didn't seem to keep it any longer. The spell was a very powe
The old man burst out into a light chuckle as he slowly walked up to the heavenly emperor. He was close enough to him, leaning closer to him and whispering into his ears... "But you don't have to panic your highness, there's still a chance of you surviving...." His lips had curled into a smile again, followed by a chuckle as he walked past him. The heavenly emperor stood there, feeling panicked and threatened. He had the expression of fear present on his face, giving off his vulnerability in this situation.." I'll ask you one more time.." He said as the old man who was heading into his house stopped" Are you going to return to the heavens with me...Or going to stay here and be my enemy...and keep threatening me" The old man smiled" I think you an answer to them" He smiled further as he continued his walk into his old house. The heavenly emperor stood there for a while in thoughts as he slowly clenched his fist. His expres
The night atmosphere in the woods was too quiet and at times seen as odd. There naturally would be noises through the woods, sounds of animals like owls and birds, crying through the woods and filling the atmosphere with more awkwardness. One who walked alone at night would certainly feel strange about this. Kai slowly ran his eyes through the sides with his ears doing the seeing. His ears twitched at every sound that was made in the bush. The sound of someone passing strangely and quickly struggled to be calm while he listened to the sound that came at every 10 seconds interval. He let his eyes follow the sound closely. But through his quest of tracing the sound with his eyes on that night, he didn't seem to see anything... He only heard. Soon came the cry of an owl from a tall tree. The cry came once and twice. Kai found this awkward and suspicious enough as he looked up in the direction. "What's that about? Who's it?" Asura wanted to know
Asura blinked for a moment, Looking at the little mice which were still pacing Around. Hearing what Kai had just said, he couldn't help but become curious about this little animal from the Cursed Forest. "How could it be from there? And how is it a demon? Weren't all demons banished years ago according to the story? And I thought it was said that all demon's souls or beings connected to it were trapped there without coming out... Then how's this here?" Asura might be reluctant about certain things but some he was sure of. And for something like the story of the vanished demons or beings by the heavens, he surely knew about this tale well. He looked at Kai who was about to give a reply" That...is something you should be aware of.. not me" He looked at Asura. "What do you mean? How am I supposed to know about it?" He questioned. Kai looked at the mice. He knew that Asura wouldn't know of it anyways. "The Cursed Forest had been se
They had continued their journey that night through the woods. Kai was mute as always while he led the way while Asura followed behind. Asura was abnormally quiet. He was still thinking about what Kai had said. His reactions and speeches were all suspicious and Asura could tell that he wasn't telling him something. But what was it? Something related to the Cursed Forest? The reason he was the only person who survived? Perhaps the reason why Kai had suddenly become healed from the sudden side effect that had harmed his cultivation and would take long. Asura also did track all these to the previous event when had seen The god of war. He had become furious and lost control. Then what happened next... He didn't know... It's the same thing with the incident of being shut the poisonous arrow...He still didn't know what exactly he did... But he had later found himself in the cottage and he was healed, along with Kai. And now again, Af
