STEEL AND FLESH BACK HOME
Two days had passed since the arch cytix priest's deadline for Lord Mordian to bring the Bardona lotus, so he could use it to revive king Lauihnio, but however Lord Mordian had some hope that the arch cytix priest would be able to keep him alive until now. He held unto the words of the holy man, when he said that he would try all he could to keep the king alive for one more week, however his commitment to the allied forces during the third civil war had extended his delay to two days, and now he was very much eager to save his nephew.At the moment, he cared only little for Romeo's condition, however the teenager did not need his care, because Klara did her best to take good care of him.Finally they were upon the gates of the fortress were king Lauihnio was being treated. The gates were opened by the sentries upon sighting Lord Mordian and Romeo, however Klara hooded herself, so her identity as an elf would not be known to anyone.They were warmly welcomed, and they dismounted from
STEEL AND FLESH THE PROPHECY
"Then why did you request that the Badorna lotus be brought to you as a prerequisite for my nephew's remedy, when it was all lies?" Lord Mordian was indignant."I am sorry about lying, but trust me, your journey to Merveilland to get the Badorna lotus was not a waste of time." The arch cytix priest sounded confident."Now you say I should trust you?" Said Lord Mordian. "Okay, why then did you send me to get the Badorna lotus?" He asked.The arch cytix priest remained silent."You are silent now, I thought I asked you a question."The arch cytix priest heaved a sigh. "Something big is coming." "What?""I said something big is coming, and it is bad, really bad."Lord Mordian put up a questionable look. "What is it?""The god's revealed it to me before I came here, it looks like your call for my help was timely.""Holy one with all due respect, stop beating around the bush and answer my question. What is coming?"The arch cytix priest, stood as straight as a dork, then he looked at Lord
STEEL AND FLESH RESTIVENESS IN THE CAPITAL
It was now about a month ever since king Lauihnio, was absent from his palace, but however, Lord Garthine Polion made it known to the people, especially his family members, that the reason for his absence was due to the fact he was in study at some place in the woods. This news was made to calm the fears and restiveness among the Bauthinian citizenry upon the rumor that king Lauihnio was dead.Lord Garthine Polion got down from his horse, together with two soldiers, who were fully dressed on their uniforms, and the junior officers around saluted upon sighting the commander."Where is the king?" He asked."He is upstairs, in his room." One of the soldiers replied."Okay thank you."Upon reaching the door of the king's room, he knocked."Come in!" King Lauihnio said.Lord Garthine Polion opened the door, and saw the king looking at some scrolls."Good day your majesty." Lord Garthine Polion greeted."Good day Garthine Polion. Hope everything is alright with the temporary leadership at t
STEEL AND FLESH PAINFUL DEMISE
Lord Mordian was in his room, writing some poetry when a healer rushed in, causing Lord Mordian to be alarmed, and at once he stopped what he was doing, however he made some scribble on the papyrus where he was writing his poetry."Good day Mordian." The healer who was a young woman said, panting out of exhaustion.Lord Mordian scowled, confused upon the sudden appearance of the healer. "What is the matter?" He asked."It is Romeo - his condition - it is getting worse."Lord Mordian gasped in surprise. "Take me to him." Lord Mordian then arranged his scrolls, and hurried off with the healer that brought the news."Come on Romeo, it is going to be alright, you hear me, you are going to be fine." Klara tried to assure Romeo, who was looking feverish, although she fidgeted around the room, trying hard to provide a solution for Romeo's condition to turn into a state of normalcy, however she was not alone, about four healers where inside the room, tending to him."Klara, his bleeding refus
STEEL AND FLESH TO THE PALACE
Lord Mordian sat down at his window, looking at the flickering leaves, that danced according to the path the wind took them. His face was sullen, and the dark cloak he draped around the dark tunic he wore, was a clear evidence that he had not gotten over the death of Romeo, who was buried yesterday which was the day he died.King Lauihnio pushed the door to Lord Mordian's room open, and upon seeing his uncle in such state, he knew he was still in mourning for a young man he usually considered as a son. The king knew how painful the loss of Romeo was, and immediately he began to look sympathetically at his uncle."Uncle." King Lauihnio called then steered towards him. "I am very sorry for your loss." He hugged Lord Mordian and it was not up to four heartbeats, the old man began to burst into tears."It is alright uncle, it is alright." "Romeo was like a son to me, he was going to be a brave warrior just like me." He mumbled, with his face full of tears."Your loss is a loss to us all,
STEEL AND FLESH THE MARCH 1
"At last you are going back to the palace." "Yes." King Lauihnio replied. "There have been rumours of my death, so I need the people to see that I am alive, and strong." He continued."I new that would happen.""And I must tell you that those rumours of my death, has brought consequences uncle."Lord Mordian began to look concerned. "What consequences?" He asked."According to Lord Garthine Polion, the rebellious faction increases in number on a daily basis.""That is serious." Lord Mordian frowned. "If I could remember correctly, you once talked to me about a planned revolt, from a fraction of your population, however I had no idea that it was a serious issue." He said."It is uncle, it is very serious.""Hmmm, that means you will have enough work to do when you get back.""Yes." Suddenly he began to hear thudding steps, mixed with the clanging sounds of steel, however with each breath, the thudding sounds, became louder. King Lauihnio rushed to the window to check out the reason fo
STEEL AND FLESH THE MARCH 2
King Lauihnio then raised his hands to motion the soldiers to halt the rhythmic drumming of their shields, and at once, the soldiers halted, brought their chest out, and stood at attention before the king.With grave silence now upon the veteran ranks, king Lauihnio began to speak. "Members of my veteran army, I am sure that you are aware of the reason for your gathering here in this fortress, however my decision to march with you all was deemed unnecessary by some, maybe many, but I have my reasons, reasons of which I do not wish to disclose to you all even though some of you may understand my motivation to do so." He then turned to Lord Mordian."Before we begin the march to the palace, I will like to honour a man who has shown selflessness, with regards to ensuring that this kingdom thrives despite the threats from the enemy." He glanced upon the ranks and noticed the questionable looks on their faces, no doubt they were wondering who was the deserving individual amongst them, who

"I will miss you too." Lord Mordian said, gulping down some saliva. "I have to go.""Wait!" She said immediately, then tucked her hand into a leather sack she was hanging and brought out two scrolls. "I know you have magical powers, however this scrolls will help you to enhance your potential as a sorcerer." She whispered into his ears.Lord Mordian stared confusedly into her eyes, took a quick glance at the scrolls before returning his gaze at Klara. "Where did you get this?" He asked."That is not important at the moment, all you need to know is that in this scrolls, lies the knowledge of powerful magical powers, capable of making you a more powerful mage like myself.""Why then did you give me -""Uncle!" King Lauihnio who was already mounted on his horse called, and without hesitation Lord Mordian turned around."We are ready, and we do not have all day. The council of elders await my return.""Okay Lauihnio." He nodded at him, before turning back to Klara. "Thank you so much." He
