STEEL AND FLESH THE BIT KIMUTUM
A profound silence enveloped the chamber as Lord Mordian's gaze remained fixed on his son. Danios stood there, his form tall and composed, an air of quiet confidence surrounding him. Lord Mordian's eyes traced the contours of his son's face, noting the subtle changes that had taken place over the years. The once-youthful countenance had matured, chiseled by experiences unknown to Lord Mordian, leaving a lingering sense of curiosity in his heart.As if driven by an insatiable need to unravel the enigma before him, Lord Mordian studied Danios closely. It was more than just physical transformation; it was a metamorphosis of spirit and character. The way he held himself, the steadiness in his gaze, and the assuredness in his words were all foreign to the Lord Mordian of memory.A flicker of pride ignited within Lord Mordian. "Courage," he mused to himself, "he must have found his courage somewhere."Yet, as the seconds ticked away, a subtle unease crept into Lord Mordian's mind. A bea
STEEL AND FLESH EPIC DUEL: FATHER VS SON

Bathed in a warm, golden light that filtered through tall, arched windows, the hall exuded an air of reverence and anticipation.A section of the chamber's stone wall was adorned with an array of weaponry, their steel glinting under the gentle play of light. Among the dangerous implements were:A broadsword, its hilt embellished with intricate patterns that spoke of masterful craftsmanship. The blade, gleaming with a deadly sheen, hinted at a history of battles won and foes vanquished.A pair of sai, their twin blades reflecting torchlight like twin stars in the night sky.

The weapon's history echoed in the chiseled markings along its blade.A warh
STEEL AND FLESH A FATHER'S BLESSING

The air seemed to thicken with tension, the weight of the moment palpable.Lord Mordian sat frozen, his eyes locked onto the glinting steel that hovered mere inches from his throat. A maelstrom of emotions churned within him—astonishment, disbelief, and a tinge of pride. The young man he had seen grow from a terrible swordsman was now truely a skilled and determined warrior.The room seemed to blur around him as memories of Danios' awkward attempts at swordplay flashed before Lord Mordian's eyes.

STEEL AND FLESH THE SHADOWED MISSION
It was the eight hour of the morning, a day after the surprising and infamous duel between Danios and his father Lord Mordian. King Lauihnio was having his breakfast, of boiled rice, beef stew and margerine and despite the alluring taste of the delicacy he was consuming, he began to have second thoughts concerning Danios duel with his father. He knew that Lord Mordian's loss to his son, who he (Lord Mordian) had underestimated was very surprising and he feared that his uncle would take it as a stain to his pride and perhaps demotivate him from being effective in the defense against the Quanians.Despite the relief that came upon him after Danios proved him right, by showing he was capable of infiltrating the Quanian camp, his worry began to overshadow that. This due to the fact that Lord Mordian was not just any nobleman of Bauthinia, he was his right hand man and second in command of the kingdom.Never had he ever seen any man outclass he uncle in a duel, however with this being th
STEEL AND FLESH MEMORIES OF LOVE
"However I have great reverence for you as a person, but I have to draw the line on this one." Ahmed bin Mahdullah said with all the respect he could muster.After taking staring at Ahmed bin Mahdullah for several heartbeats, he raised his eyebrows and shifted his gaze to Yavio, who shrugged. "Okay, I will not force you to go against the wishes of your faith, however I hope you would perform the rituals that pleases your own deity, and pray that all turns out well for us.""Allahu Akbar!" He declared firmly, and his comrades echoed after him. "We shall pray and I have faith that the tides would turn in our favor." He continued.King Lauihnio nodded at the Arab Azarians. "That means we are going to perform our ritual on our own son Danios then.""We would gladly wait for you to observe any ritual on one of your own king Lauihnio." Ahmed bowed his head as he said."Okay that is good to hear. You can ready your men outside, Danios would join you after." King Lauihnio then motioned at Y
STEEL AND FLESH UNBROKEN BOND
As the weight of the golden necklace settled against his chest, Lord Mordian's heart was filled with a sense of purpose and urgency. The memory of passing on the necklace to his son, Danios, had stirred a newfound determination within him. He knew about the purposed concecretion and the journey his son alongside the seven selected Arab Azarian assassins that were to travel to were the Quanian army, led by king Brothlander had set up their camp.With a determined stride, Lord Mordian hurried out of his chamber and made his way through the grand corridors of the palace.

As he entered the bustling king's court, his eyes scanned the opulent chamber for a glimpse of King Lauihnio.However, Lord Mordian's keen eyes failed to find the king among the assembled nobles and advisors.

STEEL AND FLESH LUTRUNCULI
It was the third day ever since the Arab Azarians alongside Danios set out for their journey to the Quanian camp at the Kidarnian valley. Meanwhile Lord Mordian was given a new task by his nephew king Lauihnio.King Lauihnio had assigned him to take charge of the city gates. This however was Lord Mordian's request because, he personally wanted to welcome his son home when the time came for their squad to be back from their mission. He imagined how celebrations would errupt in Vegia and more than that, he imagined how he would reconnect with his son, and tell him how proud he was of the man he had become. This time he would say it from his heart unlike the previous time when he didn't. Though he had said that was a proud father the time before, his ego did not allow him to say it wholeheartedly.Lord Mordian sat atop a sturdy wooden stool within the tower that overlooked the city gates. The room was lit by the soft glow of oil lamps, casting flickering shadows on the stone walls.Bef
STEEL AND FLESH RESOLUTE DETERMINATION
Captain Valerius heaved a sigh. "Yes. The news of King Brothlander's army registered intense panic among the inhabitants in Vegia.""Same in Laoia captain. The news of King Brothlander's threat caused great uncertainty and disunity there in Laoia. Thank the gods the problem was resolved pretty quickly before we plunged into civil war.""You speak about the rebellious faction. Those bastards deserved their fate, fear of an unseen enemy made them turn against the crown. Such cowardice, they did not deserve to be called Bauthinians." Captain Valerius dimmed his eyebrow while he said that with a very serious look.The thought of how news of King Brothlander caused great panic among the people of Bauthinia caused Lord Mordian to begin to wonder how the Quanian king really looked like. He began to think of King Brothlander as a malevolent looking maniac who did not need deep thought to carry out his duties as King. He imagined him as a man ruled by his instincts. "They call him the mad kin
