A Dallihand marked by both their obscure single names and the unique wristbands they hand on their dominant hands were a group of caretakers, servants, guides and sometimes even body guards whose lives have been sworn to the members of the Royal and Noble families and their multiple branches
The Dallihands are always of the female gender whose loyalty is built and trained from childhood to serve their destined Masters in the sense that they are trained to serve the children of a specific Royal or Noble family even if the child hasn't been born yet and till the day they die without any other distractions like marriage or creating a family for themselves but to an extent they are allowed to date
Apart from being guides and caretakers and all the duties they perform sometimes they also play the role of surrogate Incase the lady of the family finds it difficult putting to bed
And unlike how their work and position soun
Standing in the middle of the room with a armrest-less and backrest-less long stool behind me, Mr Jade Monday and two other of his associates sitting next to him in a side by side position and all behind a long desk with a grin worn on the face of the man in the middle, my boss and the one who called me into the room announcing that he needed my help with an urgent issue and needed to test me first while his associates looked shocked,confused and isolatedHow did the test go from being in my favour to this, having two GHA officers by my side as I put up a struggle for my freedom and defenceMy phone had been seized, being blocked on both fronts with my path to freedom which is the door behind me completely shut but that isn't what is wrong here, with me, with what they did to meA sting was felt around my neck and moments later light shone around my eyes almost covering my vision of Mr Monday who at this point has seemed to be my en
*tap* *tap* *tap*The short passenger seat GHA officer rigorously Pat his partner on the shoulder as he checked on him in the drooling state that he was"Dude, what's wrong with you? You look kind of insane right now""__Huh?" The driving GHA IT officer scrolled his head slowly to the right to look at his partner while having a blank expression and dead fish eyes and a slightly opened mouth which leaked saliva"Umm... tsh... tsh... *gulp* tsh... Oh!" he mumbled before finally getting himself "What's going on... Why's your hands on me, get them off right now!" He fussed until his partner pushed himself back and remained in a surrendered position with both hands up"Dude! What is your problem?! I was just trying to be of help and this is the thanks I get? You really are trouble" He glared at his partner with contempt with a little bit of fear mixed in*snort*"W
*STEP**BAM* *BAM* *BAM* "GET UP!!"*STEP**BAM* *BAM* "GET UP!!"*STEP* *STOP* "Hmm, what do we have here..."Standing in front of a milk brown prison door with a translucent standing rectangular shaped hard glass at a distance close to the top which was at average head height the warden of the place while holding his black baton by the handle with the base pointed outward to face the door he struck three times like he did with the previous doors before this one but with a more slower interval*BAM*........*BAM*........*BAM*[Door 306CB] which was boldly written in the middle of this particular door in dark brown colouring which was the same as for the other previous doors the warden had visited before this one and the ones he will after this one but they all had different numbers and last two capital letters on them for a specific reasonThe numbers represented your pr
*JOLT*The sudden command jolted me to my core followed by my sliding the glass opening shut *bam* then he walked off to the next door and banged on it as well but that was where the banging stoppedHe started his journey to bang the doors of the first three rooms before mine and then the next one after mine and although there were more doors ahead and behind those he didn't bother with themHe didn't seem like the man who would do any unnecessary things without a good reason just from his face and demeanor alone from our limited interaction I got that vibe and the alarms were going to go off in a couple of minutes anyway so for what purpose did he have to call out both me and the other four inmates who were now my cell neighborsI decided to do as told when I heard my door unlock but first I turned to look at the room again before stepping forward and I slid it open to be greeted by this huge area just
*CLICK* *SNAP**CLICK* *SNAP*"Turn that way please and can you hold the slate a little higher... higher... take it back a bit... make sure that the numbers on it are showing... Alright, good!" The officer in charge of taking the mugshots instructed while Officer Victor stood at the corner waiting for me to finishHe didn't seem very adapt at starting or even keeping up a conversation so although there were other officers there with him in the room and some were having their own little chats he didn't take the initiative to join inIt would have been easy enough he would have at least stood close to them but while the stood relatively to the center of the room he stood by the left corner of it with legs crossed as he stoodIn the entire prison the only person he talked to on a regular and beyond work related basis was Warden Max Faller and that must have been because that they were
"No? Nothing huh? Really? Damn, you are a tough one... It was fun while it lasted like what? A second? Are you sure your only crime was just hacking a mainframe and not hacking someone's arm off or something" The third and silent officer in the group if three finally spoke out as well"So why did you hack into the mainframe? Looking for porn or something?" the first officer amongst the three who had also been the one to ask what crime I committed retorted his opinion"..." I didn't give a reply while at the back officer Victor scoffed almost inaudibly then repeated what the other officers had said about the pornNone of the other officers heard him and neither did I but his body movement when he raised his hand to cover his smiling mouth when he had scoffed was all to attention grabbing to be left unnoticed"So you too were part of this foolishness huh" I mumbled before looking back at the officer who had asked the
"Where on to next?" I asked officer Victor as we both walked out of the room and into yet another corridor leaving the four officers to device on what to do as none of them won their betThey also had a subsequent bet where they would guess what the new prisoners occupation was based his age and when I was taken in yesterday my age was made known to all of them with the first officer who and asked the question saying I worked as a teacher, the one who faked anger said that I was unemployed, the previously silent one said a banker while the officer who had taken the picture said that I would be a company worker and he was correct as the GHA Log Outpost which I was working in until recently was part of a company technically making me a company worker but because of what had happened inside they had forgotten to ask me this question of my workI and Officer Victor
This whole scenario that just happened represented that an assailant ran into the kitchen and pulled and object from it then ran back to previous location be it the living room or anywhere else in the house then stops after getting 50cm away from victim then assailants tries to stab victim with the object but gets stopped when victim holds his hand with the object held in itAfter this assailant uses free hand and grabs a hold on one of victims hand then pulls it away freeing his hand with the object in it to continue with the stabbing motion. Victim stabbed and begins to bleedFrom the location the object was gotten, how it felt in the bearer's hand who was the assailant with it's weight distribution and handle size, the vibration gotten from stabbing the victim, the size of the injury from the intensity of the pain the victim receives it will be algorithmically dec
I just want to say a big THANK YOU to every single reader that was able to get this far. Thanks for picking up this story and continuing with it even when the writing wasn't as good at the beginning and when the plot was feeling flat because I wasn't in a good head space or had enough free time to write what I wanted. Thank you for helping me grow as an author and tell my story and get your thoughts on it through the comments. Thank you for following me to the end of this journey. It's been almost two years since I started and finally the story comes to an end (or does it?) If you noticed I was kind of making things up as I went along which is why there are a few plot holes and things I forgot I had written before that didn't tie in well with the continuity of the story. This is my first ever book so a few mistakes are to be expected but regardless I apologise for them. I wanted to use this medium to both declare my appreciation for you guys as well as to pas
I had called my handler to meet me by a nearby coffee shop and by the time I got there he was already seated, waiting for me. Normally I avoid contact with him because it's always him hounding me about something but this was the first time in a long time that I was the one doing the reaching out."Sorry to keep you waiting Nick" I shook his hand then sat down."No problem, so, what is the purpose of this unexpected meeting""I want you to tell me everything about the Arc Agents and what the GHA's real objective is" I didn't waste anytime to ask the real questions.Nick was shocked by the bluntness of my question then tried to deny everything I asked and said in that meeting, gaslighting me most of the time and so it ended up with me not getting any worthwhile information out of him. The meeting took place before I had to go for work so without getting anywhere we ended it and I went to work but I knew that my questions wouldn't stay with Nick but wo
"Please make it in time""If I do this then maybe it'll make up for the fact that all of this happened because I jumped back""Please make it in time"I was currently stuck in a hellish nightmare which was entirely guilt driven. Every action and consequences of said action replayed in my head, panicking, unable to find peace until I woke up with a *GASP*After forcefully waking up, I reached for something with my hand only for that to be the ceiling of someplace I couldn't recognize or knew how I got there. I would pant, trying to catch my breath when all of a sudden I felt a sharp pain in my chest.My teeth gritted and eyes squinting in pain, I reached for the source of this excruciating pain which was when I noticed the medical equipments I was hooked to and that I was on a hospital bed."This is familiar" I said internally after thinking of how it reminded me of waking up in a hospital as my host, the last time I jumped into the pas
Mirajh jumped off from the top of the drone and they walked up to the others and because Mirajh was there, Talon quickly relinquished his temporarily given authority in favour of hers."Mirajh and Malkome, you guys made it. So what's going on?" Talon asked."It's over, all our forces have been killed and from the looks of it, we are the only ones left so the question now should be, what should we do next?"Once she said that all their forces had been killed, there was a unanimous dropping of jaws and none of them expected that it could have gotten this bad. They had completely underestimated the Arc Agents and the trainees. The GHA weren't even able to send their Forces Units to assist but the trainees alone along with help from the Arc Agents were able to decimate their entire forces."What about General Icon, does any of you know his whereabouts? If we can verify his status then we might be able to come up with a plan" Talon asked but seeing the look on
Levy who was close by and saw when Akarli was taking aim jumped in front of Boyo, trying to shield him with her body while I was beside the both of them, noticing too late until the shot had been fired.Jeremiah who the shot pulled back to his senses and he saw who she was firing at, the care he had for his best friend even though he didn't want to admit it made him lose it and reflexively he fired multiple shots at Akarli too, killing her on the spot next to Icon.All of this would happen in an instant but for some reason, because I didn't want any of my friends to be shot so badly that I dont know what happened but just like when that strange phenomenon happened back at the court during our escape and I managed to find where Boyo was because of it, it happened all over again.Suddenly everything began to slow down and the surrounding got pitch black with the only thing being as visible as day time were those in there with an angered Akarli holding on to the gu
Once we were brought to the back, my eyes went to the elderly looking man sitting on a metallic chair with a caramel skin coloured lady by his right hand side. In front of them I saw two more individuals who weren't turned to us at the time we entered. One of them I couldn't tell their identity from their stature but the other I knew perfectly well who it was. "Char!" Before I could get the word out Levy called out to Boyo who once the both of them turned we saw an annoyed look on his face and it was clear by that look that he didn't want us to be there. The Upriser behind us pushed the both of us, telling Levy and I to keep on walking which we did until we walked up to where Boyo and the others were. "Nice to meet you, the both of you" Icon greeted us with a gentle smile which was obvious that he was hiding something from everyone, including those who were supposed to be his comrades in there. There was still something he failed to expose. "!!" Levy
""A journal?!"" Both Boyo and Jeremiah exclaimed."Yes... SIGH... A very long time ago, way before our formerly great nation was completely destroyed, former General Franklin Crow brought a younger me to one of his expeditions but this want just any regular expedition. It all started with him unintentionally finding the Philosophers Stone which brought about the rebirth and Emergence of our greatest soldier Anthony Wonne on one of his trips into the United States territory, allowing us to tap into a power that was only secret to our enemies. At that time and I had just been born so my father was the one who spearheaded the position I would later get when I was old enough so none of them knew that that small piece of attractive stone had such power hidden within it until years later, moments before the fall of the Old Soviet Alliance territory"Icon spoke with vivid words so that they would be carried along to where he was heading to."Being a curious man and thi
"Holy shit, what's that up there?" I couldn't help but exclaim while I and Levy tried our best to sneak into the slaughter house. We were moving very carefully, trying not to make any noise when my eyes just went up to the sky and I saw some strange looking patterns being created. "Shush Samuels, do you want to get us caught?" Levy reprimanded me with a low tone of voice but when she turned around to face me and do that she saw the awe stricken expression I had and my gaze up to the sky and she too followed. "What are you looking at?" she had her eyebrows scrunched. The moment she asked that question, my eyes flicked to her and I saw that she too was looking up to the sky but instantly realised the fact that she most definitely wasn't seeing what I was seeing. 'Don't tell me that I'm really the only one who sees that thing? No, that must be it because with her keen senses she would have noticed it even before I did if she could see it. Am I perh
Because the GIGANTA MACHINA worked like one big system, when the center of it was torn apart and the Stealth Drones that made up that part being completely destroyed the rest separated and returned to being Drones but because of what happened to the fused system the Stealth device they had was damaged and the separated drones were no longer able to go invisible.They all flew in different paths, dividing into those wanting to attack the trainees and those wanting to attack Michael but Michael acted quickly and changed where the outlet of the explosion was and used that to sweep the drones coming for him until all the explosion energy had been exhausted. From that point he attacked every single drone in the air with his BLACK FORCE-FIELD BLADE, not giving any the chance to attack the trainees but that meant that he had a lot to take care of on his own.With all their Force-fields no longer a viable option for defense and all the trainees they had to go against rea
