"How many people live here?" asked the princess before shrugging as she tried hard to think back on what she could remember from the books she'd read while they sat on that small island near Nilo's capital city. It hadn't taken her long to realise that she was most likely never going to have a chance to read any more books after leaving that place, but that didn't mean she was going to let her past life slip out of her memory either. She found herself wondering how many books existed and whether anybody still remembered any of them, or if all those stories would one day fade like stars slowly dying within the vastness of space or the tales of gods and heroes turning into myths and legends told and retold until they eventually disappeared completely forever. The girl decided not to dwell on the idea too much as she walked beside Regin instead as the dwarves strode across the road without ever appearing worried about who might be watching.The two men stood close together with Hector wh
"I am General Kalendeen," he said. "This is my son, Thaddeus. My second-in-command, Lieutenant Robert. There is only one person we can trust within this kingdom, and that is King Ataulf. His majesty is aware that you have returned, and has ordered me to give you a warm welcome. You may also be pleased to hear that the rest of your friends are waiting inside.""My apologies, General, but I'm not sure what you mean by a 'warm' welcome.""There's no need to be rude.""Rude? I don't think I've ever been called ruder than when I was told I'd received an invitation into somebody else's home without so much as so much as a small drink or two of water offered up along with it! Now, I have come all the way across the world without any sleep whatsoever, risking my life at every turn as well as facing threats which would make any sane soldier wet himself in terror… and now, having finally reached the castle gates, I find myself standing outside on a stone floor wearing nothing more than rags and
"I am a dwarf.""And you are telling me this why?" asked the man, turning towards Kalendeen who shook his head quickly. "What is this about? Why have you come here? What do you want? Who sent you? Do not answer any questions until I have told you who I will allow answers to!" He turned back towards Hector and Zara once again before gesturing for them to move away to stand next to Thaddeus near one of the walls; each of them placed so that they were all facing forward to make it easier for him to watch both groups simultaneously. His son stared blankly ahead with his arms folded across his chest, refusing to meet anyone's gaze even while watching carefully over every little movement. The general waited silently beside him with his hands resting on his hips. There was no sound other than the shuffling of feet as men stood around pretending to be busy while listening to what was happening in front of them."You say you wish to talk but refuse to listen…" continued the king as he walked s
Marie who was enjoying the sun on a deckchair, took off her glasses when she realized that a change in the multiverse was happening in a strange way, so she took a deep breath.She used her power to analyze what was happening. The first thing she noticed was that the changes were caused by Killian Flanagan's two daughters, since the girls had already established themselves as goddesses.Although her power was strong, they were nothing compared to her, but the most curious thing is that she could feel the energy of Man altering the order of the multiverse."That bastard should be trying to do something weird, but what he's trying to accomplish is altering a little mistake like Killian Flanagan and his daughters.There is no point in initiating a change in the multiverse unless he tries to create a multiversal reset event but doing so would change everything to the point of no return creating a multiversal paradox.The damage would be self-destructive for him and for us but if he did it
In a warehouse in the city of Strawberry Monica was sitting in a small cell looking only at an artificial light coming through the door to enter the cell. Monica, despite being tied up, was not worried because she knew that her husband would free her from that place without much trouble, so she just closed her eyes and waited patiently. While this was happening in another part of the city, Killian, who was smoking a cigarette, carefully looked at a map of an old warehouse while a group of men in bulletproof suits were preparing their weapons. "Gentlemen, my wife was kidnapped by a small group of idiots who think they can touch my authority at this time." Killian pointed to an entry on the floor plan of the old warehouse "Unfortunately for those idiots we completely control this city so we have to finish them off immediately.We will enter through this secondary entrance from the basement of the building where we will slowly go up to the second floor where my wife is, I want it to b
The noise of the fireworks could be heard throughout the city, however under the shelter of that happy moment things in one of the alleys were not so calm.With a blow to the face, a man fell to the ground while looking in fear at the two men in suits in front of him."John, you knew that today was the payment date for the loan that we very kindly gave you a month ago so that you could pay for your daughter's surgery."John who was on the floor said trembling with fear, "I'll pay you the money and interest, but how do you know the surgery went completely wrong.My daughter simply did not survive and the expenses I had to incur used up the money she had prepared to pay you. I just ask for some time.Please show some mercy as my daughter died and I don't have any kind of family anymore..."John's words were interrupted when applause could be heard, at which point the three men looked down the alley and could see a young black-haired man in a smart black suit."John, I never imagined tha
In the morning after celebrating the new year, an alarm clock started to ring, so a beautiful woman opened her eyes and stretched out her arms.As she yawned, she moved the white silk blankets that covered her body. When she sat on her bed, the door to her room opened and a woman in maid clothes entered."Miss Olivia, breakfast is ready and her father is waiting for you right now."Olivia caressed her face and gave the maid a smile. "Thank you so much for waking me up, Ava. You can tell my father I'll be ready in a few minutes.I would also like you to prepare me a mango juice. For some reason, I really want to drink something with mango."The maid nodded and left the room so she could head towards the dining room. As she walked down the hall, she was able to listen to the news on the radio.'In breaking news, a shootout between members of the police and a former morgue worker occurred near Strawberry International Airport late at night.The individual known as John Sinn was on his wa
In a small hotel room, a young man opened his eyes when he could feel the sunlight on his face.The young man then stretched out his hands and at that precise moment he received a call, so when he took his phone and looked at the screen and was surprised to see that it was his father."Good morning father, is there something I need to do?""Killian, you must make the final preparations to be able to receive Olivia in the best way, I know that you have been preparing for the last few months to have everything ready but I have information that there is a group of stupid people that is trying to kidnap Olivia.Our informants are sure that it is a Vendetta against the governor by a group of traitors who have not been identified.Unfortunately, even with the family connections we have, it is almost impossible for me to find that group of bastards because they are so insignificant that they completely go off the radar.However, I am completely sure of one thing, and that is that while the g
