STEEL AND FLESH JUDGEMENT OR FAVOUR 2
"You all wanted my verdict concerning my uncle? Here is my verdict and I swear by Oridon's mace, anyone that questions the decision I am about to make today, I will treat such offence as I will treat a man who is guilty of treason." He said firmly, before standing before his uncle face to face."How could you do this Lauihnio." He said. "After all I have done to prove my allegiance to your reign. Have you forgotten Merveilland, I swear by Oridon's mace you will be a fool to slay me, just to please these weak, old shitbags, who have good oratory skills, but are weak willed and would sell you over if they are heavily rewarded with coin." He uttered in vexation.King Lauihnio still looked unconcerned at his uncle, and even smiled sinisterly at him. "Get him on his knees."One of the soldiers stepped on lord Mordian's calf, an act that brought him on his knees, causing him to wince in pain.Now staring at death in the face, his heart began to thump. How could this be, what must have come
STEEL AND FLESH THE ARMORY
King Lauihnio was taking a walk with his sons, Aynam and Daeymen around the palace. The young princes aged fourteen and ten respectively were very much excited while they moved and interacted with their father."Dad, apart from studying, what else did you spend your time doing while you were in the woods?" Aynam asked."Why do you want to know Aynam?""Why shouldn't I know what my father is up to, or is it wrong to ask you about things that disturb me?" Aynam scowled.King Lauihnio smiled. "Oh Aynam, you never seize to impress me with your inquisitiveness, however I will tell you what I was doing in the woods apart from reading, and studying.""Tell me father." Aynam looked eagerly at his father awaiting his response."Well I was hunting.""Hunting?""Yes, hunting.""Wow, that sounds interesting, so what animals were you hunting?""Is that really necessary?" "Yes it is.""No I cannot answer that.""Dad." Aynam frowned, creasing his eyebrows to the center. "Come on, what animals were
STEEL AND FLESH CONFRONTATION OF PRINCES
"Hey, Aynam! Daeymen!" King Lauihnio snapped at his boys who struggled to claim the sword that Daeymen had found. One of the soldiers at the armory, moved closer to them and separated them, however the soldier seized the weapon from them.The young princes snarled at each other, while they exchanged insultive words and threats at each other.The captain in charge of the armory bent towards King Lauihnio's ear. "Your majesty, I admire the spirit of the young princes. I am sure that at their age they can wield the sword." He whispered.King Lauihnio furrowed his eyebrows. "What do you mean." "I suggest that the young princes engage in a duel with each other, their anger towards each other calls for a fight, we may think that the lads are mad at each other but what I believe is that the warrior inside of them wants to be set free."The captain who was a veteran believed that he spoke out of experience.At first king Lauihnio frowned on sighting the hostility of his sons towards each oth
STEEL AND FLESH RAGE IN SHAME
A soldier was appointed by the captain in charge of the armory, to serve as the umpire for the duel, and he stood in between the young princes, who were now fully prepared with their armour, shields, and wooden swords.King Lauihnio who was sitting down with the captain, very close to the duel ground made of clay, heaved a sigh because he saw this as a proud moment.He however had less concern for the possible injuries that the lads may sustain, but he was eager to witness the extent of their skills for the sword, having being taught how to handle the sword since the time they were able stand comfortably on their two feet.No doubt, the numerous sword drills organised by king Lauihnio for his sons, were very much met with criticisms from their mother, as she dimmed it premature and unnecessary for her tender sons, to learn the ways of war, pain, and blood.The umpire signalled for the commencement of the duel among the young, and snarling in rage, they hurtled towards each other."You
STEEL AND FLESH DISSATISFACTION WITH THE HEIR
Daeymen laid down helpless on the floor while he received heavy punches from his elder brother, who looked very determined to disfigure his face."You think you are better than me huh!" He growled. King Lauihnio gaped confusedly at the fighting scene.The captain noticed how uncomfortable the king was, judging from his expression, however he ordered the umpire to end the duel.The umpire pulled Aynam from Daeymen's body, and instead of raising his arm as the winner of the contest, he attended to Daeymen, whose face became swollen, and purple as a result of the blows he incurred.A section of his mouth was bleeding, and he winced in pain meanwhile Aynam ignored the umpire and raised both his arms proudly, as he relished thoughts of his victory and dominance over his brother.He also felt proud and happy to be able to prove a point to his father, the captain, and the burly, grim soldiers who witnessed the fight.A few soldiers approved his victory by clapping their hands, while some of
STEEL AND FLESH TRUST
"Every feature, and character that Aynam possesses is from you."King Lauihnio scowled at his uncle. "Are you trying to say that I am arrogant - that I do not possess the qualities of a good king?""I did not say that you do not possess the qualities of a good king." Lord Mordian snorted. "But you are arrogant, and you do not think or listen to your elders before you pass judgements. You always prefer what seems right to you.""If I was the type that was always eager to listen to advice, you would be dead by now. Hope you know that?" Lord Mordian curled his lips, and remained silent."I love Aynam the way a father would love his first son, but I feel he needs to learn. The only problem is that he does not look like he is ready to learn." King Lauihnio began to look concerned.Lord Mordian laughed. "If my memory serves me right, you were not much of an easy going student." He said.Lord Mordian then sat on the empty seat beside him where the captain had occupied earlier and continued
STEEL AND FLESH THE REBELS 1
Lord Garthine Polion was at his villa together with Lord Mordian. The time was nigh for both men to do their part, in putting an end to the uprising that threatened the peace and unity of the Bauthinian people.King Lauihnio had supplied them with coin, men, and equipments that were needed to successfully put an end to the rebellion, which was including weapons, shields and horses.Both men were inside a chamber there at the villa, together with Lord Cyprion and captain Bonio who were to accompany them in their quest to put an end to the rebellion.They sat round a table with was made from wood derived from an oak tree to discuss their plans or course of action, for the mission they were to commence today."From the information I have gathered Lord Mordian, some of the rebels have crept into Vegia despite the lockdown." Said Lord Cyprion. "This means that these people are more serious than we thought."Lord Garthine Polion frowned. "How is that possible? The king ordered an intense se
STEEL AND FLESH THE REBELS 2
"I have heard of your many exploits, and to be honest, I envy your status as a warrior and as a mercenary." Lord Garthine Polion said.Lord Mordian smiled. "Trust me Lord Garthine Polion, if I had a chance to change my past, I certainly would have preferred a quiet life, filled with love, joy, and extreme peace." He said."You are joking right?" The Bauthinian commander scoffed."Why would I possibly joke?" Lord Mordian retorted. "Do you think I enjoyed all the killing, maiming, wars and the chaos I was part of? If you think I was, I was not.""But you seem to me like someone who actually enjoys taking lives, you know murdering people in cold blood.""Garthine Polion, can we focus on the task at hand please?" He requested, pushing open the main door of the building.Lord Garthine Polion paused and began to stare at Lord Mordian's eyes. Lord Cyprion, and captain Banio ignored them and made for their horses."Lord Mordian, I promise you that I will get to know who you really are." He sa
