"I feel ashamed to have someone like you come from this clan." Koorban frowned. "You sold us away and now you will pay dearly for it." "Hey hey please, I understand that you minotaurs are not at peace with Lord Bjorfuran Boldfury but can you settle whatever scores you have a day after tomorrow because -""Shut up human and step aside, this is non of your business." Koorban said dismissively. Lord Mordian was now confused and if these hornless minotaurs were about to do what he thought they were going to do which was to kill him, then it was likely he was about to witness the perfect plan he and prince Elrond plotted about to shatter right before his very eyes. "what will I say to convince this minotaurs, first it was the dwarves now it is some angry hornless minotaurs, who look hell bent on exerting revenge on Lord Bjorfuran, our only key to finding the Badorna lotus." Lord Mordian thought to himself however before he was done thinking, Koorban ordered for the nine hornless minotaurs
The minotaur forced his labrys out of Lord Bjorfuran's head causing the regent to drop down dead on the spot with blood gushing out of his severed head and mouth."Nooooo!" Lord Mordian yelled at the top of his voice with the hope of finding the Badorna lotus completely shattered. "You bastards - my nephew's life depended on Lord Bjorfuran, the elves, goblins, trolls and dwarves depended on the information he was going to give us concerning the Badorna lotus, now he is gone - just because of the useless revenge you wanted to take not minding the consequences of your action." He mumbled bitterly.Gordnag turned to him. "Mooo! You have no idea the minotaur you put your trust in - it is preferable to trust a serpent than to trust Lord Bjorfuran bright horn at least, the serpent cares for its own eggs more than he does." He said."Quiet Gordnag - Bjorfuran does not deserve the name Brighthorn, he is a shame to our clan - he seized to be a Brighthorn when he led king Arron's goons to sla
"Yes!" Lord Mordian grunted. "I am the Aran Sereng - what will you do to me now huh."The was an indistant chatter among the minotaurs both well and injured due to the fact that all of them including Koorban were shocked at the sight of Lord Mordian who now identified himself as the man that became the worst terror to their kind in a dispense of just eight years.Koorban sniffed deeply then moved his face more closer to Lord Mordian's. "You have grown old." He began to move his fingers across his face trying to feel his skin that was a bit wrinkled and cold."Lord Koorban do you mean that this is the King of Blood, the harbinger of terror and death to our kind?" Another minotaur asked while looking uncomfortable."Unfortunately yes." Koorban replied flatly."Lord Koorban if you say this human that kind of looks like an old timer to me is the Aran Sereng, I think it would be in our best interest to cut him down as we did to Bjorfuran." Said Browneye who was holding his bleeding side wh
"Hmmm - I like your confidence." Gordnag said. "However I pray I do not get to experience your savagery ever again, that is if you are as dangerous as you claim to be." Said Gordnag. Lord Mordian clenched his jaw as a response to what Gordnag said. Gordnag noticed that Lord Mordian was annoyed by that statement but instead of apologizing he stared back at him with cold eyes.After staring coldly at each other for about ten heartbeats, he turned away from Gordnag and looked over to the dinning table. "Lagnin, Hoglor, both of you can come out now." He called out.Both dwarves crawled out of the dinning table shivering in fear, however their faces brightened when they saw that the atmosphere was clear, but Lagnin screamed when he saw Lord Bjorfuran's corpse with his forehead severed open."Quiet Lagnin, you scream like a girl." Hoglor hissed while he moved to hold his mouth, so he could halt the high pitched tone Lagnin let out due to fear."Lord Mordian - are we safe?" Hoglor asked."Y
"Do you have any plan set so we could pull down the gates, or better still draw the minotaurs out, so we do not cause much stir?" Lord Mordian asked."No, I do not have a plan." Koorban replied. "I thought you had a plan." He continued.Lord Mordian squeezed his face in anguish, he contorted his lips and clenched his jaws because apparently, he became lost due to the fact that he could not not come up with a plan or something tangible, that would see them get through the gates that surrounded the Badorna lotus plantation. "Damn it." He hissed in anger."You cannot blame the minotaurs Lord Mordian, from what I have read about minotaurs, they are not very intelligent." Romeo who was standing beside his horse whispered meekly."I heard that!" Said Gordnag, with a calm face, which meant he held no grudge against Romeo for saying that."So what are we going to do?" Galrut asked."I do not know." Lord Mordian replied disappointedly.Some time later, they heard the sound of a horse neighing
"Yes, the Badorna lotus, we have come to get the Badorna lotus." Lord Mordian replied Klara. "I am sure Romeo had told you everything about the Badorna lotus." He turned back to Romeo, staring disappointedly at him."It can be used to cure the Skaezer, apart from that, I know nothing of the Badorna lotus.""Well fortunately for you, that is all there is to know about the Badorna lotus." Lord Mordian smiled.Klara noticed the tall brick wall below the valley and the sentry minotaurs that patrolled around the ramparts. "Is that were the leader of Goreland lives?" She asked."No." Romeo replied, creasing his eyebrows to the center, putting up a fake smile expressing how arkward the question was. "No king would live in a place such as that.""Then why is it heavily guarded? - wait, are you all planning to attack a minotaur chieftain?" She asked. "If so, what are you doing with minotaurs Lord Mordian?""You ask too many questions Klara. But anyways I will answer all of them - Firstly, no,
Klara rode on her horse, along the straight track, that led to the walls of the Badorna lotus plantation, while Lord Mordian, Romeo, Galrut, and the six minotaurs hid along bushes and the barks of trees, that were situated close to were the plantation was."I never believed that I would have to kill a group of minotaurs, before I get to the Badorna lotus here in Merveilland." Lord Mordian hissed. "However, since it is the will of the gods, I gladly welcome the challenge, and by Heykzan's golden xiphos sword, victory will be ours." He continued."If the plan goes well, I am confident of success, not just in getting the Badorna lotus, but also in bringing Arron Thickroar down to his knees." Koorban Brighthorn said.Klara steered closer towards the wooden gate, passing through the the bushes and trees that were on the both sides of the road, and at last she became exposed, now in the full view of the minotaur sentries."Halt there you hooded creature." One of the sentries bellowed. Klara
One of the horned minotaurs, rushed to were a big, long horn was kept, presumably for the purpose of sending a signal so he could alarm their fellow warriors of the need for help in critical cases of infiltration, such as the one they found themselves in at the moment.The minotaur grasped the horn and readied himself to blow it, however before he could pump some air into the horn, an arrow flew out of the nothigness of the cold night, and plunged right deep into his skull.The horned minotaurs now fourteen in number, struggled to ready themselves with their weapons, grasping both labrys and spears of different varieties, but forged according to Gorelish style, with the sharp edges of the labrys arching up to the wooden shaft.They wore nervous expressions on their faces, as the infiltrators charged menacingly at them, however it did not take up to five heartbeats before he fighting started.Koorban rushed fearlessly towards one of the horned creatures, who out of desperation, aimed h
