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 here, Princess Lirl." General Bale chose to answer her question with another question. For Lirl not to be too affronted, she folds her delicate hands behind her back. "I came to enjoy the beautiful view of the moon. I had no idea, you would be here too." She said smiling lightly. "Oh really, come sit here then." Bale made a gesture for her to come sit by his side. She's a princess after all; there's no other option than to treat her with respect. But to his surprise, she chose to sit down close to him. Too close. Is she invading his privacy, he thought as he chose to lie back on his back. Enjoying the view of her back. Princess Lirl on the other, sat on the blanket, folding her delicate hands around her knees. The gown, on the other, appears to be roughly pulled back to her thighs, highlighting the black leather trousers she wore underneath. This is the first time, she will be wearing that. .. He had never for once seen a black leather trouser on her. Come to think of it; they look beautiful on her. "Bale" She called his name. "Hymn".. He responded. "You must have had a very rough and harsh day". She said, gazing at the sky. "Not really." He responded. Silence ensued between them again. He was nearly drifting away to his imagination when he felt she lie down on her back beside him. Which prompted him to sit upright, uncomfortable with her actions. They've never been this close before. Aside from that, it could get him into trouble with her Father. "What are you doing?" He asked surprised. "What do you think I'm doing? You shouldn't be the only one enjoying the view of the night like this. It isn't fair." Princess Lirl complained jokingly. "Oh sorry, I'd remain like this." General Bale apologized and glared at the moon again. "Can't you lie back down as you did before?" She asked, choosing to focus on the moon instead. "No Princess, I'm comfortable like this." He swallowed hard, dusting his palm. "I insist Bale." She persisted. "Okay, anything for you princess." He gave in after a long silence and laid back down. She craned her neck, looking at him. "Can you tell me about your childhood?" She asked again, running her gaze over his face. General Bale chose to wet his lips with his tongue, feeling the soft caress of Princess Lirl's breath against his chin. "No " He refused blatantly. "Why?" She asked, feeling offended. "Because it's nothing to talk about." General Bale responded surly. "You should go back " He spoke shortly after, rising to stretch his limbs. "Okay. " She agrees, rolling on her sides to get up. "Here, let me help you." General Bale said, offering her his hand. She simply lets her hands fall on his, and he pulls her up. It was incredibly strong and firm. "Thank you." Princess Lirl smiled, withdrawing her hands from his grip. "You're most welcome. Let me escort you back." General Bale responded cooly, making a suggestion. Princess Lirl nodded, tucking the strands of hair behind her ear. In silence, they both head back.Both of them are engrossed in their thoughts.
Jenny, one of Princess Lirl's maids, approaches them as soon as she sees them far off. Seeing her, Princess Lirl already knew something was off. "What's wrong ?" Jenny greeted General Bale with a bow and then turned to face Princess Lirl. "Your grace, he's been bleeding." "He's been what?" General Bale and Princess Lirl exclaimed exchanging glances. "But the last time I checked, the heart was missing. How come he's suddenly bleeding?" Princess Lirl rasped, gathering her gown around her as she ran to the tent. But General Bale was quick to match her pace. "What is that supposed to mean?" Bale asked, jogging along with her. "I don't know, we'll find out when we get there". Princess Lirl answered gasping for breath. In no time, the trio of them rushed into the tent. The dimly lit room exuded an oppressive atmosphere, thick with the metallic, tangy scent of blood that clung to the air, sharp and nauseating. Revealing a floor that is smeared with uneven marks of blood-soaked and littered with stained bandages, with a wet sheen that suggests recent activity. The shadows stretched ominously over the tent walls, each crevice seeming to whisper of pain and desperation. Bale took a deep breath, letting his brain digest what he had just seen. How could just one person bleed this much? He wondered. "Bale?" Princess Lirl yelped, tossed into the air. Sensing the urgency and desperation in her, he ran to her, catching her mid-flight from falling. "Are you okay?" General Bale asked. "Yes, thank you." She confirmed pulling away from his embrace. "Jenny, get the bathtub ready. I want you to fill it to the brim." "Yes, Your Grace." Jenny bowed to Princess Lirl, before vanishing outside the tent to do as she was told. Lirl instructed Jenny before turning to face Bale, stopping him from making contact with the body on the bed. "Bale, don't touch him. The degree of his burning temperature is too hot." She stopped him. "What do you suggest I do then, this freak is gonna burn this place down if care is not taken." General Bale yelled, wiping the sweat off his forehead. "Here, protect your hand with this" Princess Lirl ran to his side, taking his palms and covering them with a bunch of blankets and towels. In silence, General Bale continues staring at her. He was mesmerized by the sweat beads on her forehead. She looked so beautiful when she was worked up. "Ahem, don't you think we should let your Father know about the situation of things?" General Bale whispered to her as he watched her tie his hands up. "No! It will make him feel important. I'm doing this my way." Princess Lirl refuted. General Bale had no choice but to succumb, she can be very stubborn at times. "Your grace, the tub is ready." Jenny came in a few minutes later. "Bale, I need you to carry him outside." The girl turns to Bale after hearing what Jenny says. General Bale did as he was told, yanking the scorching hot blanket off him. His gaze was greeted with a stark naked, muscled man. For some reason, he felt uncomfortable that Princess Lirl had been treating a stark naked being whose body structure was the same as a man. Aside from that, he couldn't take his eyes off the being's crotch. Even when it is in its spongy form, it is still somewhat big. Bigger than what Princess Lirl or Jenny could hold with just their hands in his wildest imagination. Which made him jealous. He's quite sure that the man in between his leg, even in its spongy state, isn't as big as that. And Princess Lirl has seen this times without number, since she's been treating this being?.......... "Bale! What are you thinking? Have been talking to you for a while now and you're not even answering?" Princess Lirl yelled. His name gave him a questioning look.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
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 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 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 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 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. The air was damp, carrying the earthy scent of moss and the faint trickle of water ahead.When they reached the river, its clear waters glimmered faintly under the twilight sky. Its current whispered as it danced over smooth stones, its surface broken only by the occasional ripple. Austrus crossed first, stepping effortlessly onto a broad, flat rock that jutted out of t

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

"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
