Fireborne: Rashen Rising CHAPTER 15: RASHEN'S CASE
Macy and Gayle enjoyed the breakfast Gayle made with as he quotes 'Love'. Two days has passed since the fiery incident occurred and the three of them had become heroes somewhat. They definitely weren't as hated or despised as the Imperial Soldiers before them as explained by Garle.Rashen burst through the dining hall doors holding a stack of files,he dropped them on the table and looked at the two of his fellow cadets with a look that bordered on enthusiasm and worry."Good morning fellow Cadets" he said,Gayle looked at the files at the table,then looked at Rashen,then went back to eating and pretending he hadn't seen him at all. Macy went straight to the point instead and asked about the files,"Marun has you holding those for her?""No,I doubt as much as she complains about the files she works with she'd let anyone else help her with them""Fair enough" Said Gayle"These are case files for Bludvalley,I got them from the Grittshore Watch and I've been going through them for a while
Fireborne: Rashen Rising CHAPTER 16: DEALS
Rashen woke up back in the room he shared with Gayle, although he was alone at that time. The pain in his eyes from yesterday was gone and he could see clearly again. He hurried out of bed to freshen up,he was in a hurry to get back to Blak Acre: to find the young girl he met last night. He was frustrated at himself that he let the girl go, and even more frustrated at the fact that Nigsky the gutter had used the opportunity to escape as well.After freshning up he hurried to the dining hall where Macy and Gayle were currently eating their breakfast. "Morning Rashikins" Gayle said after seeing him, "Your food's in the kitchen" he practically sang as Rashen walked past him and straight into the kitchen. He was still mad at them. Angry that they basically laughed at his idea that all the theft activities might be related. He was in such a rush that he didn't even bother to think about the fact that Gayle only kept a half empty box of crackers and a glass of milk for him as breakfast,he
Fireborne: Rashen Rising CHAPTER 17: THE GRITTSHORE CHASE
"Hey Cadet,you planning on sleeping here?" Hanabi,Head Watcher Garle's personal assistant,asked Rashen who sat in the corner of the files room surrounded by multiple documents and dozing off.It was dark out and the files room was empty save Rashen and Hanabi. She had her casual clothes on which meant she was ready to leave."To tell you that truth Mi- I mean Hanabi...I just might" He said as he took another file from the stack, "I've been through like a hundred of these files and I can barely find anything on gangs and organized crime" "Well you should know that the Watch has only been around for a few years now and most of the major crime gangs are gone and the gangs that are still present are mostly just street thugs that keep low profiles. I'm sorry cadet." Rashen sighed, "I at least thought they'd be something. There has to be." Hanabi sighed,"Cadet,how do you even come to the conclusion that what you're looking for is a criminal group just from barely seeing a tattoo on a gir
Fireborne: Rashen Rising CHAPTER 18: ALMYRAH'S TALE
"How is she?" Asked Rashen,"The human body reveals a lot of things Rashen," started Garle the Head Watcher, "And from what we've gotten,the girl has been through a lot.""Bruises all over her body and she's heavily malnourished." Hanabi, Garle's personal assistant,added. Rashen sighed.The three of them,along with some other members of the Grittshore Watch,stood just outside the interrogation room where Almyrah was currently being questioned by two members of the Grittshore Watch."I can't thank you enough for letting me use your interrogation room Garle" Rashen said, Garle smiled and patted him on the back,"It's the least I could. I only wished I could've been more active in this case but I'm afraid I was far too busy with Macy and Ga-"Just then the two people that had been questioning Almyrah walked out,"We tried everything" one of them said,"She wouldn't talk. She's just not cooperative" said the other."This is the third day and she's still not talking" Rashen said,his voice
Fireborne: Rashen Rising CHAPTER 19: MADAM ROSALINE
Madam Rosaline woke up with a brain splitting headache. She walked up to the mirror as she usually does,her long dark braids were messy and looked poorly kept,her ebony skin was pale and rough and she had bags under her green eyes.She undressed herself and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. She was taller than most women her age,her figure was curvy and her body was well toned. She made sure to scrub every inch of herself before stepping out. She breathed a sigh of comfort as she stepped out in her white puffy robes and slippers. After eating her fill,she took her precious time in freshning up and applying her make up, surely to hide the wrinkles that were beginning to appear on her face. She wore a long,red,silky dress and on top of that,a black leathery jacket. She showed no signs of discomfort walking around in her heels. She also held tightly,a silvery purse. Well fed and properly dressed,she walked out the door to her house, a house that seemed to be situated in th
Fireborne: Rashen Rising CHAPTER 20: KEEPING PROMISES
In that instant Rashen thought,he had kicked Madam Rosaline right in the abdomen with so much force it sent her flying and crashing into her throne,her throne which in turn was pushed back and toppled over with the wooden frame snapping. With the fact that he wore metallic boots coupled with force at which he kicked her he should've assumed Madam Rosaline was either seriously injured or dead but he knew it was neither,he could feel it, that Madam Rosaline was extremely strong.He turned to face the children who looked far beyond what Rashen could call surprised,they were mortified. His eyes glowing bright red and his flames shooting out his back,they must've thought he was a demon or something,he couldn't blame them. He turned off his flames as he walked towards the Dontei who still laid on the floor,"Don't touch him!" Lekan snapped, "You stay away from him!" He looked like he was still trying to process what just happened.Rashen didn't stop however,he knelt down to meet Dontei,"St
Fireborne: Rashen Rising CHAPTER 21: RAID
Rashen couldn't breathe,he couldn't struggle,he couldn't do much of anything. He could feel the cold grip of death,it wouldn't be long now before it's finally over,he closed his eyes. Suddenly he felt instant relief on his neck and the sensation of air being forced into his nostrils. He opened his eyes but couldn't see anything,he could hear muffled voices. His senses were only just returning to him when he heard someone call his name, "Rashen! Rashen are you okay?" It was Macy. "Is he dead?" Asked Gayle, his voice sounding strained. "I can't tell. I can't see a thing in here." Macy replied.Rashen took a sharp breath and sparked a flame from his hand to provide light, "Rashen?" "Macy? Gayle? You're....you're here." "Yeah cuz where else would we wanna be eh Rashikins?!" Gayle said,his voice still strained. Rashen's head had been on Macy's lap and she had been trying to revive him by forcing air into his lungs. He slowly sat up,his flame still dancing weakly on his palm. Macy g
Fireborne: Rashen Rising CHAPTER 22: TO BE AN IMPERIAL SOLDIER
The walls of the earth construct Gayle made to shield himself and the others from Madam Rosaline's vines crumbled. Fortunately at the very last second and just before the vines could grab hold of them Gayle forced the earth beneath them to launch them upwards with so much force they crashed through the top floor and all the way to the roof of the building."Good thinking Gayle." Rashen said forcing himself up."Yeah but now what eh? What exactly is the plan here!" He asked breathing heavily.But before he could get an answer the building began to collapse."Crazy vine bitch is going to destroy the building we need to-" The building collapsed as large vines burst through from beneath their feet. It didn't take much for Rashen to launch himself upwards with his flames. For Rashen it was like time stopped. He was mid air, his flames dancing beautifully behind him,to his left was Macy keeping herself afloat with her wind taming and to his right was Gayle in his earth armour. They were hi

CHAPTER 45: GOOD SOLDIER BAD SOLDIER
In a particular bar in Blak Acre,the Goddess Spit,sat a crusty,hairy and unkept drunk. Sticking out of the pocket of his coat was a rusty dagger. He downed a jug of beer and slammed it on the counter demanding another. The workers as well as other customers found him incredibly annoying and overbearing. He harasses the female workers and constantly picks fights with the men. It was safe to say that no one enjoyed his presence,but he was a paying customer and as long as you have the money to pay, anyone is welcomed at the Goddess Spit bar.The door to the bar swung open violently and in came two Imperial Soldiers."NIGSKY!!!" One of the soldiers,the shorter one with natural tan skin,messy hair and red eyes yelled. Nigsky wasted no time pulling his dagger out of his coat but it was instantly slapped away by the cadet who grabbed his head and slammed it hard on the counter repeatedly leaving him disoriented.The cadet dragged him outside the bar and into an alley close by. Nigsky called

CHAPTER 44: THE NEW CASE
It had been over an hour since Rashen arrived at the Grittshore Watch Headquarters with Ridnik in arms. He sat in one of the many rooms in the building together with Garle,Hanabi,Miss Marun,Macy and Gayle. As they sat there in silence,Nanalie arrived. Garle was the first to ask her,"How is he Nanalie?" "He's unconscious Head Watcher. He still has his convulsions but I'd like to think his condition has gotten better. I'm told that they can manage to keep him alive till we can take him to the hospital for professional treatment." "That's good. We should let him rest a while before transporting him." "I'll let the others know Head Watcher." Said Nanalie. She walked out the door, closing it behind her."Now then..." Garle said,his voice as soothing as ever, "I suppose it's time to discuss things as they are." "I'm sorry Head Watcher." Rashen started. "I probably shouldn't have just dumped him on the Watch so suddenly,I thought he was dying and I-- I panicked." Rashen said,his voice g

CHAPTER 43: FIRST SIGN
Rashen, feeling good about himself, walked the streets of Blud Valley, deciding to go on his morning patrol before heading over to the Watch. The streets of Blud Valley seemed a lot healthier these days and it had everything to do with the Grittshore Division. Rashen had become something of a local celebrity in Grittshore, particularly Blud Valley,known by the name 'Hell Wings'. Blud Valley was still ridden with petty thefts, robberies and assault but crime was on a slow decline. Blak Acre on the other hand was a different story. The biggest subregion in Grittshore and they hadn't covered much grounds there,but Rashen didn't want to think about that too much. He was well aware that the issues in Blak Acre and Grittshore as a whole would take years to handle but Rashen was up for the challenge. He greeted various merchants and shop owners as he walked through the local market of Blud Valley. The children at the corner invited him over for their game of Atcherball but he declined. He

CHAPTER 42: THE SPAR
"So Rashikins..." Gayle called from his bed just across Rashen's space. "What type'o woman d'you like?" "What?" Rashen,who at this point was used to Gayle keeping him up at night, asked."What type'o woman d'you like?" Gayle asked again. Rashen didn't think too much about his response."I mean...I like Macy." "No Rashikins,I mean romantically. The type'o woman you'd want to spend the night with having steamy,hot se-" "Yeah I got it!" Rashen interrupted. "I don't really have an answer for you though." "Come on Rashikins don't be a disappointment." "I'm serious! Girls never really liked me y'know." "With the whole 'demon who killed his parents' situation?" Asked Gayle."Yeah... also I don't think that physically,I was their type." "Ok but of all the women you've seen, different types with different body shapes, which one do you like the most?""I really couldn't tell you man." Rashen said truthfully."Fine,if you say you." Gayle replied, clearly unsatisfied with his Rashen's answ

CHAPTER 41: FOX HUNT
The Red Ring Fox gang had been causing trouble in the deeper parts of Blak Acre and today they managed to corner an aging merchant in an alley. They pushed the merchant to the wall and forced his bag out of his hands. "Please don't. That's all I could make today and I have children at home to feed." The merchant begged. "Shut him up Burnlow!" Ordered one of the members,a young woman with a nose ring and a satchel hanging on her shoulders. Burnlow, the bald man with a particularly large nose landed a punch on the merchant's stomach. He retched as he got down on his knees,tears in his eyes. "What's in the bag Narry? Anything worth it?" Asked Snyther, another member of the group with sharp eyes and spiky hair. "There's money here but it's not nearly enough." Narry said irritated. She walked up to the merchant and got down to meet his eyes,she grabbed him by the hair. "Listen old man,the phrites ya got here ain't nearly enough to pay for our protection." She said. "Pr- protecti

CHAPTER 40: THE DANGERS LOOMING
Claruk's body ached all over as he struggled to get to the kitchen. Ignoring his blood loss, he forced forced himself to get to the cabinets,he needed something to stop the bleeding. His arms pushed him forward leaving a trail of blood behind him where his left leg used to be. As he drew closer to the bottom cabinets he felt a sharp pain from his left thigh. He couldn't scream in pain as his throat had been slashed,he coughed up blood instead. He looked back to see the metal blade that had been forced into his thigh and standing behind him,a large man with metal blades sticking out of his back. The man dragged Claruk out of the kitchen and back to the living room using the blade. He sat him on the floor,back against the wall where he had a clear view of the dead woman in the middle of the scattered living room. His attacker pulled out another metal blade and forced it through Claruk's other thigh, another through his left shoulder. He sobbed as he coughed up blood, the pain was too i

CHAPTER 39: TOGETHER AGAIN
Three days had passed since the duel and the three week mandatory leave for the Imperial Soldiers had elapsed and now it was time to return to business as usual and for Rashen, Gayle and Macy, that would mean returning to Grittshore."You guys better hurry. The carriage'll be here soon." Macy called from just outside the lodge. She stood in the cool 6 o'clock breeze,her bag hung over her shoulder all packed and ready to go."Yeah yeah I'm coming." Said Gayle walking out the lodge. He hung his bag over his shoulder as well,but in his hand was another bag,a bigger one."You know you could've just left your leftover foodstuffs for the next people that'll be using your room." She said arms crossed. Gayle laughed."Foodstuff we bought? With our own money? Macy we're not philanthropist y'know." "Whatever." She checked her watch. "What's taking Rashen so long?" "He's signing out and returning the key." "Wish he'd hurry up." "Meh,s'not like the carriage's here yet." "Still,he should be h

CHAPTER 38: THE CALM
Rashen finally regained consciousness and the first person he sees after opening his eyes is Macy. She had laid his head in her lap while he was unconscious."He's awake." She whispered to Gayle who was leaning by the door. As his senses returned to him, Rashen realized that they were in his changing room. He struggled to get up,"Easy." Macy said as she helped him sit up.He had a slight headache, hopefully not another concussion,he looked around from Macy to Gayle and then back to Macy."You came." He said."Yeah...I did." She replied quietly."Why?" "Well,your friend Cobbs is...let's just say he was very persuasive." "Mr Cobbs? What does he have to do with--""Was it all true?" She interrupted. Rashen frowned, clearly he didn't like her interrupting him and dodging the question, she noticed this too."Sorry Rashen, it's just...what you said out there? Was it all true?"Rashen looked away from her. He wanted to snap at her,why would he lie about something like that?. He looked ba

CHAPTER 37: BITTER VICTORY
"That's my boy!!!" Basterious laughed, "He's already perfected the Golden Sun at such a young age." "Should we stop him? An attack like that would kill Rashen wouldn't it?" Raspin asked Ngoko to which he replied,"Lumins wouldn't kill Rashen though... would he?" "It's time to put an end to this!" Alora spoke up."Don't bother! All of you!" Said Allum still seated arms crossed. "Lumins is many years too young to be using a technique like that." "And what exactly is that supposed to mean Allum? You dare to underestimate my son?" LiLyna snapped."Just watch!" Said Allum nonchalantly.Lumins was about to hit Rashen with the Golden Sun when suddenly his face contorted and his body tensed up. The arm holding up the attack began to tremble till it gave out. As Lumins fell to the ground the Golden Sun began to destabilize,it released flares and the heat shot up astronomically."What's happening Lumins?Is it going to explode or something?!!" Rashen asked in panic. Lumins didn't answer,he ju
