Previously, on Sword Of Vengeance Kalus trailed behind Austrus, his footsteps careful and deliberate as he cradled Cathiana in his arms. Her unconscious form was feather-light in his grip, though the weight of her predicament pressed heavily on his mind. The muted crunch of his boots against the grassy trail filled the silence between them, broken only by the occasional rustle of the breeze through the tall grass.The narrow path they followed wound through the wilderness, carved by nature’s hand. And the wildflowers peeked timidly through the grass, their colours dim under the fading light.

Kalus plummeted through the void, his screams swallowed by the endless expanse of shifting, prismatic light. The world above spiralled away, shrinking into a distant pinprick of sunlight until it vanished altogether. Darkness enveloped him, and his consciousness dissolved into nothingness. He jolted. He gasped, coughing as he regained his senses. Cool, damp soil pressed against his cheek, gritty and damp. The distant roar of waves filled his ears, their rhythm steady and hypnotic. And slowly, he pushed himself up on trembling arms, blinking against the brightness of the sun now hanging low in the sky. Before him stretched an endless ocean, its waters shimmering with hues of gold and silver under the fading light. The salty breeze stung his face as he took in the vast, alien expanse. He touched his chest, confirming he was alive. But where was he? And more importantly, how had he survived? He groaned, crawling to the ocean, drinking greedily from its waves till he quenched his
"I won't let you die, I promise. " Kalus said sobbing. He began to rack his brain, desperately thinking of a way to save her. He knew for sure that he couldn't have leapt that high into the air without the help of the throbbing mark. If the mark could aid him in achieving a stunt like that, it should be able to save her in one way or the other. Although he doubts if it will ever work on his own accord, he's still willing to try. He gently laid Cathiana on the grass, removing the knife plunged into her heart and press down on the wound to stop the bleeding while he closed his eyes in agitation. "Heal! Heal !!" He muttered, frustration building as he tried to channel the mark on his wrist to work in his favour. "Shit !!" He cursed slamming his bloody palm on the grass beside her. "Why on earth is it not working? Focus! Kalus focus !" He rasp trying harder. Slowly, a sense of comfort washed over him, and his soul transcended to a serene realm surrounded by tranquil waters.
Lord Azril's cautiously slid the curtains open, his grey brows furrowing as he peeps outside. "Father, what's wrong?" Princess Lirl asked alarmed. "I don't know, let's hope we're not in for another bad day." Lord Azril sighed and shook his head. About to unlock the carriage door, he paused hesitantly facing Princess Lirl again. "Lock this door behind me and don't do anything stupid till you hear from me". Lord Azril warned, gripping her slender shoulder. Despite seeing his daughter's paled face underneath the white veil there's nothing he could do. Princess Lirl bites her lower lips, fidgeting. "I promise.......but..." She started, but Lord Azril interrupted. "What?" Princess Lirl shook her head. "Nothing. Be safe out there." She muttered, caressing the ribbons attached to her gown nervously. Lord Azril nodded and patted her shoulders gently. "I will Lirl" With that, he climbed down from the carriage. And asked for a briefing from one of his warrio
After Princess Girl had been assigned the task of constructing a new carriage, one that was big enough to accommodate three people, to General Bale, she went ahead to clean the wounded body herself with brewed juniper tea. Leaving Jenny with the responsibility of sanitising a small space inside and outside the tent with sage incense. After that, Jenny began to prepare a soft spot where the body was going to be laid. Princess Lirl, on the other hand, disappeared out of the tent briefly and appeared minutes later alongside General Bale and a box. "What do you need me to do?" General Bale asked, dusting his thigh. Princess Lirl's behaviour had somewhat changed towards him right after he agreed to help her. As to what her motive is, it's just a matter of time before he figures it out. "I need you to move the body to the bed here" Princess Lirl answered his question, tucking the strands dangling before her sweaty forehead behind her ears as she opened the box, revealing all sizes
"Yes my Lord." General Bale saluted. "Good, let her know we'll be moving by sunset tomorrow." Lord Azril said, discarding his presence. "Yes my Lord " General Bale saluted. "You may take your leave, Bale." Lord Azril sighed and settled back to sit. General Bale saluted one last time and turned to the door, opening it and disappearing behind it. He stopped briefly ruminating on what Lord Azril had discussed with him. He's right; after all, hoping that Princess Lirl could fall in love with him is wishful thinking. Instead of returning to her tent, he headed in the opposite direction. "Bale !" She called his name. General Bale froze in his tracks. She seems to be been waiting for him to come out. This lady will be his destruction if he isn't careful. Instead of turning to face her, he just continued walking onward. "Are you avoiding me now because my Father told you to ?" She asked, hurrying after him. "No " General Bale fired back, avoiding her. "What do you take me
Previously, on Sword Vengeance, General Bale spreads a blanket on the carpet grass and lies on it. Enjoying the silent night to himself while he stares at the beautifully eerie moon glowing amidst the sky. Which made him remember his childhood days. If his family had not been attacked and killed in the war, he wouldn't be right now working under Lord Azril. "Bale " Princess Lirl called out from the shadows. General Bale became rigid, sitting upright. He was surprised that Princess Lirl would seek him out at this hour. "Princess?" General Bale called, unsure if the voice he heard was hers. Princess Lirl came out of nowhere and stood before him. She was wearing a transparent silver gown that illustrated her physique underneath. Her appearance tonight gave an impression of a warrior to General Bale. But he doubted if she could fight. "Ahem, can I sit?" She cleared her throat; she was kinda nervous. "You haven't told me what you're doing h

Previously, on Sword Of Vengeance The mysterious man who had who was formally their rival and also save Elena, broke into cold sweats as hairs on his skin rose in a serious warning while he fought another Golmor.He glanced over his shoulder, his eyes narrowing as he caught sight of the ethereal bluish glow trailing behind him. It shimmered and danced. A persistent and unrelenting force that refused to fade, defying the passage of time. The glow seemed alive, pulsating with an energy that neither dimmed nor wavered, as though it were tethered to him, bound by some unseen will.As it pressed forward, the world around it blurred into a vortex of motion, the boundaries of time and space bending in its wake. The bluish ambience surged closer, collapsing the distance with an eerie inevitability. It wasn’t just following him—it was closing in, narrowing the corridor of time itself, as though seeking to engulf him in its enigmatic embrace. The winds within the tunnel churned violen
Previously, on Sword Of Vengeance Elena plummeted violently into the earth's crust, the impact shaking the ground beneath her. Her body tumbled uncontrollably across the scorched terrain, jagged rocks tearing at her flesh as she rolled.Her momentum came to a brutal halt as her head collided with a sharp boulder, a sickening crack echoing through the air.A crimson stream bursts out front of the gash of her temple, painting the rugged ground in vivid streaks of blood.Gasping for air, her chest rose and fell in desperate uneven heaves as she struggled to draw air into her battered lungs.Her limbs trembled uncontrollably, her body writhing as she fought against pain and fatigue that threatened to consume her. Gritting her teeth, she pressed her palm into the hot, unforgiving earth, her fingers clawing at the dirt in a desperate attempt to rise. Her frame convulsed on the strain, but still, she willed herself to get back up.A massive shadow crept over her, dark and oppre
Previously, on Sword Of VengeanceThe world froze as if holding its breath.And the sunlight recoiled, retreating into the clouds in reverse, casting twisted, eerie shadows across the land.In an instant, the atmosphere had shifted. A deafening crack of thunder shattered the silence, echoing as the sky began to twist in spirals, forming a menacing vortex, it struck down directly on the leader of a Leaf-like humanoid creature, sending cold chills down its spine.The larger carriage beside the smaller one began to shudder violently as the wind surged in fierce waves and swirling rings. Suddenly, a forceful gust erupted from within, tearing the carriage apart in an explosive cascade of splintered wood and debris ensued by a sharp gust of wind that tore through the air, whipping strands of Princess Lirl’s hair against her face. The dim eyes of the tall, Leaf-like monstrous humanoid creature quivered, shock written all over its countenance as it had just encountered a formidable e
Previously, on Sword Of Vengeance A deafening roar shakes the earth as a blinding flash of light engulfs the horizon for a fleeting moment. Resulting in a massive, searing fireball that rises from the ground, illuminating the dense, mysterious forest in fiery hues of orange and yellow. Rippling the air with heat, and a towering mushroom cloud that billows upward, stemming an unrelenting column of ash and smoke.As the cloud above blossoms outward, its edges glowed like molten metal, radiating destruction and power. The ground trembles as shockwaves ripple through the air, scattering debris and shredded pieces of flesh in all directions. General Bale groaned, rolling onto his side as the world spun around him. The high-pitched ringing in his ears drowned out the distant cries, leaving only muffled echoes of chaos.He blinked hard against the haze clouding his vision. Shaking his head, he planted his hand on the dirt to push himself up, swaying unsteadily on his knees befo
Previously, on Sword Of Vengeance,General Bale became embarrassed after he had been snapped out of his wildest imagination.It's a relief that Princess Lirl had no idea what was going on in his mind."Sorry, what were you asking me to do?."General Bale apologized rubbing the back of his head with his hand."We're moving out him outside"Princess Lirl answered hurriedly, going outside ahead of him. General Bale braced himself, lifting the body from the bed. He felt a jolt of repulsive energy coursing out from his body; it was like an invisible barrier keeping people at bay from establishing direct contact with him.No wonder, Princess Lirl lost her stamina and flew backwards the other time she touched his neck using her bare hand.It was draining him faster than he could ever imagine.Hurriedly, he gritted his teeth carrying him outside."Drop him into the water."Princess Lirl said, telling him what to do.General Bale nodded, doing as he was told.He stood up, taking sever
