Fireborne: Rashen Rising CHAPTER 32: PROVOCATION
Rashen didn't feel too good about his encounter with the chief maid. She was the woman after all,who when no one else would,took Rashen in when he was still just a baby and raised him till he was four years old before leaving him in his shack. Rashen knew that by all accounts he should be grateful to her, and genuinely was but he also believed she was part of what seemed to be a recurring issue in his life,where people would come in but before he can make a genuine connection with them,they leave for some reason or the other.It happened with the chief maid,it happened with Argins,it happened with Mr and Mrs Cobbs and right now it was happening with Macy. It was frustrating because he should be the happiest he's ever been,he was cleared in the hearing, acknowledged by Ngoko and Raspin as a rival,he had Gayle and he had Grittshore,a place he could call home,but it's not enough, without Macy it just wasn't enough. Rashen didn't feel like he'd be doing himself any good by trying to get fr
Fireborne: Rashen Rising CHAPTER 33: POINT OF NO RETURN
There Rashen stood, his clothes charred,his face red and his hair smoking. He stood barefoot against Lumins who was fuming. They stared into each other's eyes and right then and there they knew there were no words that needed to be said. Lumins created a fire ball and Rashen's blood red flames burst out from his back. They charged towards each other but before any contact, seemingly out of nowhere Ngoko appeared before them and sent both of them flying back with a powerful wind blast. "That's enough!" He said firmly. A crowd gathered up and leading them was Basterious and LiLyna. She ran towards Lumins teary eyed, "Oh Lumins,are you alright? Are you hurt?" She asked in urgency. "Put those dirty flames away!" Ordered Basterious furiously. Rashen's flames was still burning out of his back but he hadn't noticed nor did he pay Basterious any attention. All his attention was still focused on Lumins. "How dare you attempt to attack my son in his own home?" Basterious asked but Rashen st
Fireborne: Rashen Rising CHAPTER 34: LILYNA'S WOES
"Rashikins...what exactly is it you're doing again?" Gayle asked. Rashen, sweating and breathing heavily, responded,"Huff... training...huff." Rashen balanced himself on one arm,his other arm stretched out trying to grab onto another beam. The contraption Rashen was currently on, the Borhmmer's Stand was the one of the most physically challenging equipments at the training center. It was a series of intricately designed beams of varying sizes arranged as one huge stand. The aim was to get to the very top of the stand,one slip up and Rashen could seriously injure himself."Training eh? And how'd you think this'll help beat that Lulu guy?" Gayle asked as he watched Rashen attempt to make his way to the top of the stand."You can't -huff- be serious!" Said Rashen as he finally sat at the top of the stand. "As serious as a fractured spine Rashikins." Said Gayle. He threw up a face towel for Rashen to wipe his sweat."You know my fire is weak yeah?" "Everyone knows your fire is weak sh
Fireborne: Rashen Rising CHAPTER 35: REVELATIONS IN GRAND FORTERA
The Grand Fortera,the largest stadium in Ephyre, where the strongest warriors would battle before the past Kings of Old Ephyre for honour and glory. In modern times it is used to host the Continental Atcher's Ball Tournament. But today, it's where Rashen would battle Lumins in a duel. Rashen woke up early. He took his bath, brushed his teeth and wore his clothes. He wanted to take in the early morning breeze. He walked out the door but he couldn't move an inch,he just stood there staring at Macy's door. They hadn't seen her since they got back from the banquet. He thought that no matter what they'd have settled their differences before they returned to Grittshore,if not for themselves then for the team, for Miss Marun, for Garle and the Grittshore Watch and for everyone in Grittshore depending on them,but he was wrong. Not only does she still seemingly hate him,but they had drifted so far apart that she didn't even want to be in the same space with him anymore. As he stared at her
Fireborne: Rashen Rising CHAPTER 36: CLASH OF GOLD AND RED
Rashen got a feel of just how truly large the Grand Fortera was as he stood there at the center of the center of the arena in front of crowds that numbered in the thousands,all there to watch him fail. The first few rows of the stadium were left vacant for the safety of the spectators. On the other side of the stadium right above the tunnel Lumins would be walking out of sat some members of theGoldenfire Family, the Head Mother was there,so was her first son Aangi and her first daughter Lyma. Basterious sat beside his wife with a smile on her face that was obviously forced. He also spotted Raspin and Ngoko, Squad Commander Hamson who sat beside Allum and Officer Gillurt. Meanwhile on his side was Gayle who was cheering loudly and profanely. All the cheering,all the jeering and all the dirty looks,Rashen filtered them aside. He took deep breaths in an effort to maintain absolute composure. Despite his best efforts, Rashen couldn't filter out the cheers that erupted from the crowd as
Fireborne: Rashen Rising 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
Fireborne: Rashen Rising 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
Fireborne: Rashen Rising 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
