Within a land filled with carnage stood one lone figure, whose bluish armor had been dyed in a crimson ruby unlike its usual sapphire coloring. The man’s twin scimitars stood on both his sides as he looked from side to side with a calm demeanor.
In every direction for as far as the eye could see, there laid the bodies of once proud orcs who’d come seeking their honor in battle, but the only thing that they’d found was a fate at the butcher’s knives.
Limbs littered the ground and warm red liquids dripped in puddles everywhere, most of the corpses had been so disfigured that you’d find it hard to recognize them as orcs at this point.
Those who’d survived had long since run away in retreat, wishing to never again witness a man such as the one they’d faced on this day.
While the ones that had witness the event stood in silence, not knowing whether they should cheer for vic
Silence spread throughout the battlefield littered with the orcish bodies, as the squad of soldiers all looked on with shock at the man who’d basically just betrayed each and every one of their expectations.“S-Sir Leonidas... What do you mean by that...?” One of the soldiers finally spoke up as beads of sweat flowed down the side of his forehead.“You heard me, I’m not participating in the raid.” Leonidas repeated his earlier words, bringing about an unfortunate reality to the soldiers.The soldiers couldn’t believe their ears, all the excitement from earlier completely vanished as they felt it was unfair for him to simply leave everything in their hands after only now arriving.“Why not?!” A second soldier bellowed, obviously outraged at the notion, “You’re the Hungry Butcher, are you not?! You just decimated them by yourself! Why would you leave now, right before
“Grandfather, we’ve arrived!”The doors of the meeting room opened widely and took everyone’s attention, from them came in five armor clad figures, seemingly knights.The one who’d spoken was the shortest one amongst their group, a youth wearing a unique set of jade colored armor that had a high quality shield strapped to his right gauntlet, he seemed to be around the same age as Elyenora, and also appeared to have the same golden hair color as her.One could spot a few strands of it flowing down to just above his shoulders, coming from beneath a full plated helmet.The four other armored figures were all clad in silver and stood to both of the youth’s sides in silence, apparently there to guard him.That all indicated to him being the leading figure amongst this group of knights.“Hmm?” intrigued by the appearance of the boy, Elyenora pondered ab
As the moon reached its peak in the night sky, with the howl of wolves in the distance, one could hear the noise of marching footsteps.Shades of hundreds of people traversing the forest could be perceived by the wildlife’s vision as they slowly walked in lines through the thick woods, approaching their destination with fervor.The troops of men that walked these forests numbered over four thousand, each thousand having their own leader to give out orders and keep everything neatly in arrangement.“We’re nearing now.” Leonidas commented as he rode a horse alongside the commander of the troops, Elyenora and Samuel followed from behind along with the knight guards that accompanied the young man, also on horseback.“Indeed, we’ll have to get into position and split our forces accordingly for the three way pincer attack.” Reedus replied in a serious, deep tone, his conviction towards the success of t
Having managed to enter the orcish fort unnoticed, the young Elyenora grinned widely while gazing at the big influx of orcs that were all over the place.“Let’s get to the supply storage and set it all on fire.” One of the knights stated and walked forth, not minding the presence of orcs sleeping or walking about to kill time.Nodding to his words, Elyenora moved up and kept pace with the group, they needed to look somewhere to the south-western corner of the construction to find their targets.Their trek through the fortress’ interior went smoothly, they saw many orcs along the way who were resting from today’s battle and some that were tending to their wounds, a lot had gone to sleep and a few still hadn’t had their fill on drinks or meat yet.Nearly all of these orcs were of the younger generation, it wasn’t something that Elyenora or Samuel could tell, however it was a fact that the mor
As the fires raged on all around, the orcs drew nearer and swung whatever they held towards the young Elyenora, attempting to kill her on the spot.However, just in the nick of time, two of the knight bodyguards that had come with Samuel arrived and blocked the incoming strikes.“Princess Elyenora! Stay on guard and raise thy blade!” The knight spoke with an ordering tone, bringing the girl back to her senses.“Y-Yes!” She replied and quickly and stood up, unsheathing her blade as she breathed in and out to try and calm herself.The two knights were able to fend off the weaker orcs with ease, it gave enough time for the princess to assess herself and get used to the environment of battle.She breathed in and out, staying in between the two knights for protection until she could speak normally.“Where is Sam?” She asked, worriedly trying to get an answer.&ld
...“Huh!!”A reaction of shock sounded from within a wooden carriage, deep within a secluded forest.It caused the nearby birds to frighten and fly away in a hurry, chirping along their way in a panic.The girl who’d reacted so strongly found herself to be sitting upright and breathing heavily. She had just awoken from a long dream of the past, now feeling rather disoriented first thing in the morning.‘Was that... A dream?’ The Elyenora of the present day thought to herself, holding her forehead which had a soft headache rising within it.“Ugh... That really shocked me, I guess reminiscing about the past when you’re tired and feeling under pressure can bring about such scenes in dreams, huh...?” She murmured to herself, thinking about the past that she’d just envisioned.‘That moment really felt like
A stream of leaves fell down from the top of the trees, revealing the long branches which stretched outwards for a few meters from their base.Elyenora’s bright violet sunset like eyes gazed upon the branches, there she could spot a silhouette, it was of the back of a tall man with long black hair which reached down to his waist.He was wearing a silver like gray coat as well as deep black pants and boots, while at his side was what seemed to be a dark cloak which he’d taken off at this time.His feet dangled to the side as he sat on the branch and watched on towards the distance of the forest.The princess, having seen this scene, placed both of her hands at the sides of her mouth, as a means to speak louder, and shouted, “Mon’Ter! Hey, I can see you up there! Could you come down here, please?”“Mmm...” A soft sound of agreement could be heard from the man in the t
It didn’t take long for Elyenora to get the horses all set up and ready to pull the carriage once more, she did it with fervor and seemed to be in an overall good mood all the while, humming her soft melody whilst doing her work.Mon’Ter only watched on in silence, he had finally woken up after days of slumbering and was still a little confused about the situation.His body felt well rested and completely fine now, despite all the damage he’d taken during his fight with the higher spirit of fire.It was something that most might think of as unusual, however he didn’t have any such thoughts about it. To him that was normal, as his body is one that is generally hard to wound, and also heals extremely quickly.What was a strange feeling however, was to wake up somewhere so far away from where he’d initially fainted, to see Elyenora sleeping softly beside him like nothing had happened before this, it was a
