King Cassius was shocked beyond explanation at the scene in front of him. Ever since the war between the ancient gods and his people, he had never received visitors. He didn't need to go to the outside world before he knew that Mordor was extinct to them. It was forgotten, ruined, and abandoned.King Cassius, a half-rotten skeleton that was brought back to life with the help of Lord Darius during his reign on his throne, took a small step toward Dylan and looked down at him in awe. The general and Orion also followed him closely."Human!" King Cassius bellowed, cracked his neck, and maggots poured out. "You located this place, how?"Dylan smirked and stood proud. He's a king after all. A ruler, a commander of thousands of wolves, a warlord. His past achievement flushed in his head, followed by pride. Dylan won't fall at the feet of a skeleton, not now and not anytime soon. He was meant to rule everything, and everyone."I seek a private session with you, Cassius," Dylan demanded.The
The sky parted away for the new day, and the sun revealed itself in full glory. The first sun penetrated Rey's eyes, waking him. He weakly raised his palm to shield his face from the harsh burning of the sun and rolled on the bed.Rey kept rolling, hoping to get a few hours' rest, but he couldn't. Though it had been a hectic day for him, the best thing he needed was a great sleep to recover his vitality, but he couldn't. After several minutes of failed options, he got up from the bed.Rey walked to the closet, picked up a black singlet, and strode to the door. He placed his hand on the oak door, getting ready to push it when the door was opened from outside. Garry walked in, and blocked his exit.Rey didn't need to ask; he knew what he came for. He wanted to apologize because of what happened last night."I need to feed my horse," he said, trying to walk past him. Yet, Garry didn't bulge.He responded, "I did it already.""I need to tend to the wounds," Rey argued. "I need to check ev
Rey Reed Smith galloped on his horse, racing to the outskirts of the middle land, flanked by Garry, Gaius, and Linda Boston. They were all riding hard beside him; all of them were determined and ready to fight, and they wanted to finish Dylan once and for all.Even though it was a suicide attempt, they didn't care. After all, they were sworn brothers.Rey Reed couldn't wrap his head around the reason why Lord Rey told him to accept the offer from Sebastian Stan. Rey tried asking him multiple times, but he wouldn't reply. The man went silent, leaving Rey Reed to solve the misery he created all alone. Worst of all, he said, they are going alone, without soldiers.After hours of riding, they came near the sacked city, and huge, billowing black clouds rolled toward them. The smoke filled Rey and his team's noses, and they sneezed before covering their noses with their palms and riding with a hand each.It pained Rey Reed Smith to see some regions of the middle land like this. Some part of
"Help is fast approaching." Rey Reed repeated, wondering what Lord Rey meant.Lord Rey exclaimed, "And here comes the magic!"Suddenly, flames engulfed all the skeletons, burning them to ashes. A woman appeared amidst the chaos, holding a big book in her hand and murmuring some audible words.The woman let go of the book, and it started floating in the air. She stretched her hand, drawing somatic spells, and blew air with her mouth. Instantly, a page from the book was forcefully removed, and it went flying in the air, rotating around dozens of skeletons. Before the blink of an eye, the earth parted and swallowed the skeletons."Magic indeed," Rey said, forcing his way out of the skeletons that surrounded him.Rey watched as the woman brought out a wand from the inner pocket of her robe and flipped it. She swirled around, pointing the wand at a skeleton, and it shattered. She threw the wand in the air and whistled. The wand did surprising things by turning into a blade and cutting down
A whirlwind blew across the desert floor, followed by thousands of books, which formed a portal. This continues for several minutes; the book keeps forming a large portal, and it eventually becomes the center of attention. The few foot soldiers from both sides that were near the area halted the battle and then focused on the new scene.Three minutes later, five beings emerged out of the portal. The first one is Rey Reed Smith. He had a short blade strapped to the scabbard that was hanging at his waist and two daggers at his boot. Garry stood at his right side, his body buzzing with electricity and vibrating at a high frequency.On the left side stood Gaius; his bow pointed straight at the opposite enemy, and two arrows were set, ready to be released. Linda Boston and the new woman, Kusandra Dracaena, stand behind Linda had a blade in her hand, and Kusandra Dracaena had a wand and book in her hand."They're the remaining giants," Garry said, breaking the silence. "Except that they were
The loud wailing and mournful aura of the palace revive Rey back to reality. His world was black, spinning, and revolving. He could feel his head banging hard, aching as if something hard had been used to knock his skull.As Rey kept coming back alive, his vision started getting clearer, as did the wailing and mourning of people. Their noise keeps getting into his head, disrupting his brain, and causing his headache to increase."He's alive!" He heard people gasping, and he looked clueless.Rey dragged his body to a sitting position, and he could hear people gasping in shock. That made him ignore all the pain he was feeling in his body and rest his back on the wall behind him. Eventually, Rey was able to get a proper glimpse of his environment, and what he saw made his heart sink.He was sitting on a bed in the middle of the physician's hall. All around him, wailing in pain, are the casualties of war. Some had a leg; some had none; others had an arm; and most had none. Some had bruise
Rey gave Sebastian a look of fury, and the urge to kill him is overwhelming. He walked towards him, grabbed the collar of his robe, and slammed his back against the wall of the passage. Rey snarled, and Sebastian gasped as a fang protruded out of his mouth. His eyes flash red and black and then return to normal pale blue."Can you see what your greed has caused?" He snarled, choking him more against the wall. "Did you know the number of people who have lost their lives because you tried to create a future that is not supposed to exist?""I can still make it up for their relatives," Sebastian defended himself.Rey scoffed, "Can you?" and pressed him more tightly against the wall. "What about those that didn't have relatives or bloodlines left? Can you make it up to El Monstruo? You're a killer and a bloody liar.""I agreed!" Sebastian spoke in a melancholy tone. He didn't deny or argue with Rey.Rey yanked him up, wheeled him around, and slammed his body against the opposite wall. His
Rey Reed Smith, a man hosting the spirit of an ancient god, bred for war, and having a hellhound spirit trapped in his body, led the war against Dylan's giants that were camping near the Black Sea and Cador river.He stands on the war chariot that was given to him by Sebastian, two horses in front of the chariot, and drags it with immersive speed that surprised Rey himself. Beside him stood Linda Boston. She was guiding all the equipment that Rey brought along with him to use in battle.Behind Rey Reed Smith are the hundred men riding horses, each one of them holding a weapon that suits them. With the look on their faces, one could easily tell that they were ready to lay down their lives for their generation. They care less about themselves. Even though Rey Reed had chosen the front line, a place where the battle would be heated, and still took a hundred men with him, they feared not.When they reached the top of the hill that divided the armies, Rey wasn't surprised to see them just
