That last remark made Tharn stop munching his food. “Wait, a minute… So you don’t mind if I die, as long as it is not meaningless? I would prefer not dying, you know?”
“Well, considering where we are about to go, someone will! I would rather not be you or me! Or Kek, because I like him. He is funny. The others, I don’t care much.”
Tharn poked the Fairy&
In the sky, and nearly at the clouds’ height, Tharn and his group were flying, following Iris’ indications. She had her arms raised, feeling the wind, and laughing in excitement. She had never been so high in the sky because even when she hunted Dragons or Drakes, they never flew so high with how cold it could get and the air currents were strong.But under Tharn’s shirt, and with a Fire Elemental heating the air around them, she was enjoying the flight far too much to be quiet, even with Tharn complaining that she was giving him a headache.On the last Anubis, Kek was looking down, completely amazed by the view. The initial scare was long forgotten, and he was in ecstasy. With the view underneath them, and enjoying the liberty of the open air, none of them noticed how much time had passed, or how fast they were flying.Before they noticed, they were already landing near a mountain range. There were a few low plateaus nearby, and a pointy mountain with snow on top in the middle.Iris
With one small growl to the surprised Fairy, Byia Calla turned around and silently entered the cave with her body glowing with lightning bolts.Iris pointed at the small walking menace and asked, “What the heck? She wants to eat me?”“Yeah, she doesn’t like Fairies. The last ones we fought burned her wings. That only pissed her off, because she tore apart all those Fairies before I could capture one to interrogate her. It is probably better if you don’t make her mad.”Iris clenched her fists and answered, “It is better if she doesn’t get near me, or I am going to roast her!”“Iris, you wouldn’t even have the time to gather your Magic. She has more experience with killing Fairies than you have with killing Water Dragons like her.”With the small Fairy grabbing a strain of his hair not to fall and still grumbling while looking at Byia Calla, Tharn entered the cave with Istar at his side.Synesia paired with Osman, and Muranu with Kek at the back. As silent as they could, they followed t
The small Water Dragon made a slight bow with her head and went ahead, with Tharn right behind her.As soon as they entered the large cave, she flew to the sky, making the Necromancer raise his eyes from the map he was studying, and he grinned at the young man ahead of him.He then looked up and saw the glowing flying Elemental, but because of how much light she was emitting, he couldn’t quite figure out what he was seeing, so he asked, “Is that an Elemental, boy? Or a Familiar? And what are you doing in my domain? Are you lost?”Tharn shrugged as he approached the group of Undeads that stood in front of him and said, “No, I came for you, actually. There is a Quest in the Adventurer’s Guild where I am working, asking for your head. But before slicing you in two, do you mind if I ask you something?”The Necromancer leaned on his chair and rubbed his beard with an amused look. “I suppose I can grant you that last wish before you join my Undead Army.”“Actually, it is about this army of
Before their surprised eyes, the Necromancer stopped struggling to get free, and he smiled. Tharn crossed his arms over his chest and asked, “So, tell me more about that group of yours, my friend. I am rather curious about how you achieved such an enormous army of Undead that you used to gather so much wealth. What did you intend to do with everything you robbed?”“Well, I am a member of a brotherhood of Necromancers, you see? I was once a Mage Summoner, and I was always trying to get rich. But because I had a low Level, the best I could do was to work as an Adventurer. During a mission, I lost my temper with my Party Leader, and I killed all six members of my Party. After that, I could no longer return to my Guild, so I pretended to be dead as well. The only thing left for me to do to earn a living was resort to robbery and assassinations. Almost one year ago, I found a Necromancer. He invited me to join his group, and then I met the most powerful man I have ever laid my eyes on. He
Istar slowly shook her head, with tears running down her face.She faced the dead Necromancer and answered, “If he killed my father or anyone in my family and turned them into Undead, and used them to kill more people, I would want to make him suffer. To make him beg for mercy. I would cut his eyes out and make him swallow them. I would rip his heart from his chest and squash it under my boot. I… I think I understand what you mean. It is just… all these deaths… because of just one Necromancer… And there are more like him out there… I… Sorry, it is too much for me to deal with right now. Can we get out of here? I don’t want to be here any longer.”“Sure, but we need to go to that other cave and take everything with us. Let’s go meet my Arias and see if they found a better way out, wider than the one we used to enter. It would be good to have your Elementals help carry everything to the outside.”She slowly nodded and followed him in silence, with the others right behind her and Synesia
Tharn looked back and smiled. He saw Istar’s Magic moving around her, in thin threads, touching everything around her as if she was a spider, checking her surroundings in the middle of a web.Iris felt the threads of Magic, and asked in a low tone from her place under Tharn’s shirt collar, “Is it my impression, or is she more powerful than most short-lives?”“Cathras are very good with Magic. They are not as good as Dragons or Fairies, but they still have a lot of Magic at their disposal. Their affinity with nature is probably what makes them so good with Magic, considering that Magic is all over the place in this World.”“I know that, but maybe it has something to do with that pendant you gave her? That thing is boosting with so much Magic, that it is making my hair twitch! Do you think it is safe for her to have that with her? If she loses control, I am not sure if that pendant can absorb more Magic!”“When the pendant reaches its limit, I can use the Magic. Or I just tell her to fo
Tharn and the others didn’t say a word. Everything was going according to plan. The rumour that a group of Adventurers took everything from a Necromancer’s hideout but the Necromancer escaped would work in their favour by making his friends think he was still alive.With the Adventurers’ help, they separated into a pile the weapons and armour that looked more intricate and would be easier to find the owners and the normal-looking ones into another pile for the Guild to sell. After they got a change of clothes, they pulled Tharn up from his chair and went out to take a bath.There were still many people on the street who asked what they did to get all those things they brought, and they refused to say anything and waved goodbye.Synesia opened the door of the bathhouse, and after talking with the one in charge, he guided them to another room for them to take off their clothes, and he even told them they could put everything on an empLord Tharn Zon Chapter 32 – Late bath

Climate: The Acidic Season happens right before Winter starts. In that season and for one month, acidic rain falls from the sky, burning most of the plants and trees as a way to prepare the soil for the Winter and the next generation of plants after the Winter Season, the so-called "Abundance Season" that lasts for four months. Calendar: Winter lasts two months, Acidic lasts one month, Abundance is four months, and Summer is two months as well. Days have twenty hours during most of the year, except in Winter, which has merely fifteen hours. Topography: The World is made up of a single massive landmass, with the ocean covering nearly 75% of the planet's surface. There are seven countries and a few small islands that belong to three countries because those islands are near them. Flora: Healing plants with Magical powers that have leaves of a triangular shape. Poisonous plants and flowers were extremely colourful, with some even able to glow in the dark. Anesthesia plants, aromati
It was already mid-morning in the 'Grand Duchy of Sirion.'The Duke was in his meeting room with all his Ministers gathered around a large table and a few Mages near the farthest wall, right below an enormous glass window.With a frown, the Duke asked, "Any news from Mage Tharin? The National Tournament of the Theocracy was yesterday, and he didn't send a message." Before any Minister could say they didn't get any, the window shattered, and an enormous creature landed on top of the table, with another knocking out the Mages with his enormous paws.
Istar didn't wait for the Peacekeeper's hammer. When the enormous hammer hit the shield and made it flicker again, she jumped forward at the same time the gap increased from the powerful blow. The Hooded Mage tried to stop her, but she tackled him, and they both rolled on the floor with the shield surrounding them both. Tharn saw the Magical Portal disappearing, and he heard Istar shouting, even with all the noise, "Got you! Die, you bastard!"
The day finally came.After the back gates, there was an enormous square painted on the soil, with rows of chairs near the City wall and a vast group of people, gathered around the square to watch the fights.Istar and her group crossed the gates with a crowd following them and cheering.She walked to the middle of the square with her group at her side, and they waved at the spectators, all gathered there to watch the finals.
