EPISODE 66

THE BREAKING POINT

General Bale exhaled sharply, the battlefield falling into a tense silence. His fingers loosened around the hilt of his blade.

The sword won’t win this fight, he realized. Only instinct will.

With that, he flung the weapon aside. It clattered against the stone floor, echoing like a death knell. A symbolic gesture. A declaration. This wasn’t about steel anymore—this was personal.

He lunged.

A barrage of fists flew at the Emperor.

Fast, relentless, full of raw fury.

But the Emperor shifted, almost lazily, using only his left lower arm to parry the blows.

Each block was surgical, his form tight and unshaken, as if he’d seen every strike coming before it landed.

Then, in a blur, the Emperor vanished.

    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

She should have pushed him away, but she didn’t.Instead, her body betrayed her resolve. It relaxed. Yielded.And then... tingles. Familiar, yet not.The same warmth that once danced across her skin whenever Xena kissed her.Those sparks that ignited her, now kindled under Bale's touch.But this... this was different. Deeper.As their lips met fully, she closed her eyes. Not out of affection, but confusion. She was trying to feel.To distinguish.Was this love?Or just the longing for something real?Because when Bale kissed her, it wasn't with hunger.It was with heartbreak. His lips spoke volumes, though his mouth said nothing.And then.Too soonHe pulled away.She stood frozen, stunned by the loss of something she didn't even know she wanted more of. A deeper kiss. A moment that never bloomed.Hi
