RISE OF THE DRAGON HEIR: from amnesia to ascension Chapter 55
Just as Sayid had assured Gerald that he was going to prove his loyalty towards Saint overtime—not up to a week since Sayid had pledged his allegiance and he had recruited more of his men to join Saint until he was left with just a handful of his men. "Are you sure you're not going to need them to battle alongside you someday.....these are your most skilled fighters." Saint had said to Sayid when he had arrived with another batch of one his most skilled fighters. "The only battle I'd be fighting, will be alongside you, master!" Sayid had assured him .Saint had replied with a smile on his face and when he told Gerald of his gesture, Gerald was beyond baffled and had no words to describe the act that Sayid had done. "He is practically unarming himself!" Gerald remarked, "He's handing all of his men over to you, Saint.""I know right....and to say that you never trusted him." Saint said to Gerald. "I never thought that he would go that far. But it doesn't mean that I would let down
RISE OF THE DRAGON HEIR: from amnesia to ascension chapter 56
The tension in the air was thick with a quiet electricity that neither Saint nor Victoria could ignore.Victoria’s arms were wrapped around Saint, her grip tight as if afraid that if she let go, he would vanish. She hadn’t planned to hold him—not like this—but the moment she stepped into his presence, her emotions had overwhelmed her.Saint who usually composed and unreadable, had been momentarily lost in the warmth of her embrace. His mind had gone blank, caught in the delicate balance between nostalgia and the sharp pain of betrayal.Then, a deep, authoritative voice shattered the moment.“Saint, who is this?”Saint stiffened. The trance he had been in instantly broke as he turned toward the voice. His uncle, Lord Magnus, stood in the doorway, his sharp eyes fixed on Victoria with curiosity and suspicion. Dressed in his usual dark robes, Magnus carried himself with the silent dominance of a seasoned warrior, his aura commanding respect even without effort.Victoria quickly stepped b

The moon was already hanging high in the sky and casting its silver glow over the Dragon Clan’s stronghold, while each chamber was lit up. Saint sat alone, lost in thought. The warmth of Victoria’s presence was still lingering in the air, haunting him like a phantom. No matter how much he tried to shake her from his mind, her voice, her scent, the way her eyes had pleaded for him to say something—it all clung to him.He should have said something. Anything to her—just to reassure her of his feelings for her at least. Instead, he had let her walk away with her words hanging between them like an unfinished sentence.He let out a deep sigh and ran a hand through his hair, while his frustration took hold of him. He had fought wars, conquered enemies, and risen above impossible odds. But Victoria’s return had done something no enemy ever had—it had rattled him to his core.A sharp knock at the door snapped him out of his daze.“Saint,” Gerald’s voice came through the heavy wooden door, fi

"Father, I don't think I want to talk about this right now." Victoria said as she took off her jacket, trying to mask her troubled heart.She knew she should have not have shown up there—she should not have listened to her father when he told her that it would be easy for Saint to take her back. She should not have believed him when he told her that Saint still had a soft spot for her and because of that, their plans would be made easy. "Victoria, quit acting like a child and tell me what happened!" Lord Zlate instructed. "Father, I'll talk when I feel like it, right now, I need to go sleep." Victoria insisted, trying to make her way up to her room. She didn't want to recount the event that had happened back at the Dragon clan and how Saint and been surprised at first to see her. "Quit your folly and tell me what transpired between you and him. I need to know of it was a success so we can proceed with our other plans.""A success you say?" Victoria started, her ears tingling at t

Two months had passed since the meeting. The waiting game was over. The six clans had grown comfortable, a d just as Gerald had predicted, they had already lowered their guard, so now was the perfect time to strike. Under Saint's rule, the Dragon Clan had gathered its forces and ready to make the first move against their enemies. Saint stood atop a rocky cliff, overlooking the enemy stronghold. His black cloak billowed in the wind as the distant torches of the enemy flickered like fireflies in the dark. Beside him, Sayid stretched his arms, grinning with excitement. “Finally. I was beginning to think we’d never get to the fun part.” the sinister smile on his lips widening. Behind them, Sayid’s men stood at the ready, eager for the battle ahead. Steward adjusted his belt and sighed. “Let’s be clear—I'm not much of a fighter, so I won’t be on the front lines. But my knowledge of their fortifications and battle strategies will be useful.” Gerald, standing nearby with his arms
RISE OF THE DRAGON HEIR: from amnesia to ascension Chapter 60
It wasn't time to celebrate yet but Lord Magnus had taken it upon himself to organise a small feast for Saint's recent victories. He made sure that everything had been put in place just in time for the party, and he didn't bother informing Saint about his plans and just went ahead to throw the party on behalf of Saint. The hall of the Dragon Clan stronghold was alive with the sound of celebration. Torches burned brightly along the stone walls, casting flickering shadows over the long wooden tables laden with food and drink. The scent of roasted meats, spiced wine, and fresh bread filled the air, mingling with the laughter and voices of warriors who had fought and bled for victory.Saint sat at the head of the grand table, his fingers idly tapping against the goblet of wine before him. He had never been one for unnecessary celebrations, but his uncle had insisted. After all, they had just crushed two of the six clans standing in their way. The power balance of the land had shifted dr

As Saint paced endlessly across the floors of his chamber, the weight of the scroll in hand was pressing down against his shoulders. How had it not occurred to him to ask who the old man was and what his exact relationship with his father had been. It was a weird encounter with the man because he remembered the man had mentioned that he had worked under his father and but Saint had not remembered seeing him anywhere around his father. He vividly remembered all the people that had worked with his father when he was still alive and ruler of the Dragon clan, including the ones that had betrayed the clan and had been kicked out. "Maybe I should ask uncle Magnus, surely he would know who the man was. But how can I describe him to uncle?" Saint placed his finger on his chin, tapping away absentmindedly as he continued to pace around. He suddenly paused in the middle of the room and held out the scroll in from of him. He had not opened yet like the strange old man had instructed him to.

Lord Magnus' eyes shot up as if Saint had just said something abominable. He let go of Saint immediately, Pushing himself backwards with force in the process. "You must be insane, Saint. You must have totally lost it completely!" Lord Magnus said under his breath but it was audible enough for Saint to hear him. "No, uncle, I have not lost it completely. You're not telling me something. Everyone knows that my father had died honourably in battle." Saint let out with pride. Lord Magnus sighed and let his gaze fall to the ground, knowing that he should have told Saint the true story about his father's death, but there was any chance to tell him. And even when everyone thought that Saint was dead but he came in one piece—he had been so carried away in making sure that history didn't repeat itself, instead of telling him the truth. "I'm sorry I didn't let you know about this earlier but, that was what everyone was made to believe; everyone—including those in the other clans were made

At the far end of the room, Vic stood with an amused smirk, her arms crossed. Her presence exuded power—dark and overwhelming. She tilted her head slightly as she observed Saint, her eyes gleaming with malice.“You finally came,” she said smoothly, stepping forward. “I was beginning to think you had abandoned them.”Saint ignored her taunt, his gaze locked onto Victoria. Her chest rose and fell faintly—she was alive, but barely. His fists clenched at his sides.“Let them go, Vic.” His voice was calm but laced with deadly intent. “This ends now.”Vic chuckled. “Oh, Saint. You always think you can swoop in like a hero and fix everything. But you don’t understand… I’ve already won.”"Drop the dagger, Vic...." Saint ordered again, ignoring what she had said, "don't make this any harder than it is." He added. "But it already is. Someone should offer him a chair already, the show is just about to start." She said and erupted into another round of laughter. Saint was about to launch himself

Saint cut through the thick branches with the sword Sayid had handed over to him. He was relieved that he was able to convince him to head back to the clan with the others. He had seen the disappointment in his face when he told him that he couldn't afford to take him any farther than they had already come, and it was far too dangerous for Sayid to continue the journey with him. It was getting darker by every passing minute and Saint knew that he had to get on with his journey quickly. For some reason unknown to the others, Saint could sense that Vic was close by and these creatures that he had just battled with had been a decoy to distract them from the actual mission they had embarked on. He continued cutting down more branches as he walked. The sensation around him grew, signalling to him that he was already closer to Vic than he thought. He tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword and intensified the effort he used in cutting down more of the trees, clearing his path. The c

"I'm not moving an inch from here until I see Saint!" Gerald said stubbornly, adjusting his legs more comfortable on the ground but making sure that his legs didn't touch the creature. His eyes were still fixated on the creature. He had still not given up in trying to make out what it was and where they had come from. "Well then, suit yourself." Sayid said and started walking away. The stench that came from him was foul and immediately made the air unbearable to breathe. "Where are you going to, Sayid? We can't just leave Saint here all by himself!" Gerald said, his voice trembling with fear. "He's fine, you chicken heart, he just wants to set some things out for himself." Sayid said. He suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to face both men. He had noticed that something wasn't right. "Where are all the soldiers?!" He asked. "Most of them are dead, I think the rest ran away!" Steward replied. "Including my men?!" Sayid asked angrily. "Every single one of them...""How pat

He tried to get a glimpse of his life flashing before him as his eyes were shut tight. He swallowed the bile in his throat for the umpteenth time and breathing heavily—the smell of death hissing past his nostrils. He didn't need a soothsayer to tell him that his time had finally come, he could feel the power from the creature growing stronger by every passing minute and the hot drool from its mouth descending on him. "Spare my life, I beg of you!" Gerald clasped his palms in a form of a plea and raised it above his head. He hoped in his heart that the creature understood what he was saying. "Spare my life and I'd do anything that you want me to!" He said again and his hands fell weakly onto the floor, grabbing the soil in front of him. His whole body shivered from the cold that was seeping through his veins, never had he been faced with such situation. "I never should have left the car," he repeated. A loud shriek from the creature shook the leaves on the trees causing Gerald to c

Max wiped the perspiration off his forehead with his sleeve and dusted his hands. He was satisfied with how deep the hole was even though a pretty large part of it had not been his effort. "Come on, we need to bury him quickly before someone comes." Max said aloud. They had carried Max's lifeless body to an area where nobody would find it, not even Vic herself, except by some means of magic, but even if she would have, they would have all been long gone. "Certainly." The second guard replied and started breaking the rocks nearby that they were going to use in burying Drake. The plan was to level the spot they would bury Drake as much as possible and fill the place up with rocks. If anyone has plans of digging the place up, they would get a second thought—who buried people with rocks in than age. "It's all done." The second hairs let out, panting heavily. Max made sure to take a good look at Drake oneast time to make sure that he was actually dead. 'what if he wasn't?!' his thoug

It was at that point that Saint realised where they were. Why hadn't he sensed that something was wrong on time, it seemed as though a cloak had been removed from his eyes. "No one should step down from the car!" Saint ordered when the car had been brought to a halt. "Oh you don't need to tell me that twice. I already know what's going on....if you had just listened to me earlier..." Gerald grumbled and folded his hands. Despite the eerie environment that they were in, he felt no single iota of fear and instead disappointment toward Saint for not believing him earlier on. "I'm going to go check it out." Saint said and without giving them any chance to process their thoughts, he was already out of the car. Gerald's lips parted slightly in bewilderment. He wanted to say something but then hesitated and kept silent. "Aren't you coming, Gerald, I'm going with him." Sayid said, cutting through Gerald's line of thoughts. "Are you out of your damn mind?!" Gerald exclaimed. Sayid chuck

Not a single sound was heard from the warriors as they journeyed on, with Saint leading them on. Lord Magnus had offered to accompany them on the journey, but Saint had insisted that he stayed back so he wouldn't risk getting killed. Lord Magnus had tried to convince Saint that his conscience wouldn't let him stay back and he had to be by Saint's side, but Saint still insisted that he had to stay back with the clan. "Are you sure of where we heading to, Saint?" Gerald asked with confused brows as he noticed that they had been turning around in circles and it seemed like the fifth time they had passed through this particular route. Saint who had been struggling to keep back his confusion finally let out, "this has to be the route, it has to be here. Unless, it's either of two things; Vic is leading us into a trap or this isn't the route that leads to where she has asked that I come to get Drake and Victoria." "We have to turn back around, Saint. We can't continue embarking on a jou

They shook him fervently to make sure that he had been knocked out before they carried his body off of the floor and flung him into his cell. The first guard hurriedly locked the cell and watched Drake's body for a while. His brows creased as worry settled beneath his stomach when he noticed that something was deeply wrong. Drake's body wasn't moving and the regular rise and fall of his chest to induce that he was still breathing was absent. "Did you kill him?!" The first guard's voice trembled as he spoke, "i said did you kill him?!" He asked against in a loud tone but made sure it wasn't loud enough to be heard by Vic. "What do you mean by that, of course we did not!" Another guard replied this time. "Then why is he not breathing?!" The first guard's heart began to pound vigorously in his chest, "Move aside let's see." The other guards shoved him to the side as they made their way forward to see for themselves. They all stared with grave intensity, waiting for Drake's body to

"Make sure that he doesn't disturb me while I'm asleep!" Had been Vic's instructions to the guard before she left. Drake's screams continued to torment Victoria from where she sat in her cell, but she didn't let out a word of complaint, instead, she gritted her teeth and shifted her gaze for the first time on hours onto the floor, enduring the pain his loud screams brought to her ears. She wished that she could do something to make him quiet, he wasn't the only one going through the excruciating pain from the fluid. "Drake, please be quiet...." She tried to form the words, but she couple find the strength to do that, so she sat put and hoped in her heart that he would tire out soon, but that was far from the impossible, because this had been going on for days without any pause. "You just wait and see, Vic. The moment I get out of here, I'm going to slit your throat in half and burn this whole place down.!" Drake threatened still, while shaking the iron bars of the cell with all of
