Faul: The Reincarnation

BREACHING LINE OF DEFENSE

The sudden news shocked Frederick that he nearly dropped Faul. He felt dejected he has been on the front line of this war for 3 decades now. Frederick fought bravely to protect his city against the red death, but now he felt that he didn't try enough.

With teary eyes, he said to Maria, his wife, and Faul's mother to take his son and the whole household and flee far away from Karaza.

Faul was just hanging on Frederick's arm staring intently at the crying giant, as he refers him. "Why is he crying?", Faul asked himself. Faul was confused because he doesn't understand the issue on the ground. He wanted to ask what exactly is going on but nothing came from a baby's cry.

Maria took Faul from Frederick with tears in her eyes because she knew it might be the last time she's set her eyes on her husband. Frederick went into his living quarters and brought out a red blade with dragon scales running down from the hilt to the tip of the blade and hand it over to Maria and said to her; "This blade was given to me by my father, he said that it has been passing down from generation to generation for 500 years after they sent Gag into eternal slumber. My father told me that prophecy has it that a chosen one from our family will be the only one that can unlock the hidden power in the sword. This is the only hope that can save us if Gag is to wake up again after all these years". Maria took the blade, Faul, and the entire household and left Karaza with no destination in mind.

Frederick hurriedly dressed up in his war armor and left for war after sending his family away from the city. He already knew that it might be his last war with the red death plague that is taking over the land. He left for war with his ten thousand men, knowing fully well that although they have numbers on their side that it won't be enough to stop the red death infected from advancing further into the city.

"Who owns this city?!", Frederick shouted to boost the morale of his men

"We own this City!!", The ten thousand men shouted in unison.

"Let's fight for our home!!!", Frederick shouted again

"Hooooooooooo", the ten thousand men shouted again in unison.

The war began, and the ten thousand men kept falling one after another. The war continued for days and the ten thousand men dwindled to a few thousand. Frederick was dejected, he has lost more than half of his men while the number of the red death infected numbered just give hundred lost just two hundred infected. Frederick wished he could save his men but it was already late. He cried something he has never done before. He looked left and right and his men kept falling.

"Retreat into the city and lock the gate", Frederick shouted amidst tears and blood. As his men were retreating into the City he rushed over to his second in command and said to him", Alfred, please I need you to find my family and protect them, this is the last thing I'm asking you as a friend and brother". After pushing Alfred into the city Frederick charged into the crowd of the infected. Alfred was watching from the city as Frederick was overwhelmed by the crowd of the infected and could be seen no more.

The sadness in Alfred's eyes grew more intense as he cried for his dear friend and made a vow to protect his friend's family
