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

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
Fireborne: Rashen Rising 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
Fireborne: Rashen Rising 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
