THE RETURN OF GENERAL KAI Chapter 24
The couple walked out of the shopping complex that now belonged to Kai and was managed by Sarah. One could say that it was a shopping trip gone wrong. The two of them walked past the baby store they were supposed to patronize. The silence was ice cold.In the garage, as usual, Kai attempted to get the passenger door for Sarah and she said, “I got it.” Before opening the door herself. It was hardly her attention to be cold to him but her emotions were all over the place. The man she loved, her husband and the father to her child was a stranger to her. “Okay.” Kai muttered not loud enough for anyone to hear before walking around the truck to the driver’s side. Kai had told her that Maverick lended him one of his trucks. Was that also a lie?You could cut through the silence in the truck, so much so that the sound of the engine starting sounded like thunder in Sarah’s ear. She kept her back straight though, and looked outside the window. She simply could not behold Kai’s face.As he pul

Kai watched as Sarah’s face went from calm to confused. Whenever she had no clue as to what was going on, she furrowed her eyebrows tightly and frowned slightly. It was something he had always found cute, he often laughed at her for wearing her emotions so clearly on her face. Recently however, it seemed to be the only look she wore and it made Kai feel guilty. He was now determined to divulge as much information as what was safe for her.Nexarath was not public knowledge to those in the capital and that was decided centuries ago before either of them were born. The rationale was simple; the then ruler of Voltaria did not want the whole Country to be wiped out by war so he came up with a simple solution, the country was divided into two main cities. The inner city was later known as the capital and Nexarath which was the city that surrounded the capital, protecting the border and the capital at the same time. Although war never really halted at any point, the emergence and discovery

After a couple of minutes remaining in an embrace, Sarah broke the hug. She held Kai’s face in between her hands and smiled, “we’re going to be okay.” She assured him again for the umpteenth time. If there was something Sarah was good at, it was comforting you until all your worries seemed small and insignificant. Kai had almost forgotten why he was upset.“I do have a question, though. Am I free to speak?” She asked him and he said in response, “always, baby. I’m eager to know where your head is at. What’s on your mind?”“Are we moving? I mean, I can understand you wanting to go back home but all the talk of war and fighting…” Kai chuckled, she really was too good to be true.“I don’t miss it Sarah, I’ll be honest with you.” He admitted for the first time out loud, “I don’t…I no longer have a family there.”Her heart sank. She wanted to ask more but she felt as though it wasn’t the right time. She appreciated him enough already for sharing something that clearly was still a fresh wou

“You have that kind of money?” Sarah asked and Kai full on laughed this time around, “yes.” Was all he said as he got up. Kai adjusted his pants before reaching a hand out to Sarah.“We’ve had a long day, let’s go to bed.”“A long, unpredictable and eventful day.” She added as she took his hand. Everything about them was different now but their relationship remained the way Sarah loved, unbreakable and lighthearted. That was just how strong their bond was.The next day, Kai woke up from his night’s sleep uninterrupted by aggressive nightmares. He was getting used to it. He sat up and headed to the bathroom for his morning ritual, to splash some cold water on his face and brush his teeth. Sarah was not beside him when he woke up which only meant that she was making breakfast. As he brushed his teeth, Kai could not help but smile. Even though they had both come to the conclusion that he was the better cook, Sarah often went out of her way to wake up earlier and get a head start on maki

“Charge forward!” Kai screamed as he stretched his arm outwards. An army of a million men rushed past him as he sat on his horse. It was the third battle that month alone and they would probably see at least one more, Kai thought to himself.“My Lord, you don’t have to be on the battlefield. Myself and my men are enough to deal with these small fry.” Zalek Brackenbury, Kai’s colonel, urged his General.“If this is the third battle in less than two weeks, I’m needed on the battlefield. How are the healers doing? What is the casualty?” Kai asked, ignoring his subordinates' request.“About a hundred, not nearly as bad as the enemy camp. All the bodies we can see belong to them.” Zalek gleamed. “A hundred of my men fell at the hands of barbarians and you tell me to lay back while more die?” Kai asked Zalek in a cool tone. The fact that he was calm sent shivers down his spine. Immediately, Zalek fell to his knees, “I’m sorry, General. I don’t know what came over me. The life of even one so
THE RETURN OF GENERAL KAI Chapter 2
Kymani Everard was one of Kai’s high ranking officers. She belonged to the Everard house, a house that had supported the Rylan’s for centuries with their healing powers and their magic that allowed them to foresee what was to come. Kymani was the current head of her family and unlike the previous heads, she much preferred to take a backseat and she spent all her free time running what the other officers called a charity clinic.One of the many skills Kymani possessed was hypnosis and on this day, she was tending to the many injured men. She cursed under her breath before yelling, “would you please keep still?! I don’t have time for this.” The man winced again and Kyman groaned, “How do you take so many lives and yet you’re scared of a little pain?”“Men are such babies.” Was the last thing she muttered before hearing a horse neigh in distress, “Bringing your horse all the way will not make me heal all these people faster, Zalek.” She said before lifting up her head.“Kymani!” His voic

“What did you say?” Kymani asked Astrophel. She crouched down on her knees as her arms grew tired from holding him up. “You’re able to delete memories. Wipe the General’s memories before he wakes up.” Astrophel repeated.“Why the hell would I do that? That can be classified as treason!” Kymani yelled at Kai’s godfather.“It isn’t treason if he can’t remember any of it.” Astrophel paused, “think about it. You’re in danger too for knocking him unconscious.”“I did not nothing wrong. He was going to kill us all and you asked me to.” Kymani defended.“You’re right, I did. Now finish your good work and wipe his memory. Only heaven knows what will become of us should he wake up and remember the horror that awaits.”“Do this for Nexarath, Kymani Everard. You have a duty to your people. Should the General become conscious with his memory intact, we will be back where we started and with even more people dead.” Kymani hesitated. Astrophel had a point.“Do you think he will be happy with you? Y
THE RETURN OF GENERAL KAI Chapter 4
Kai had a nightmare that night, same as all the nights before and for as long as he could remember. He was screaming on top of his voice, “put your lives on the line!”, “show no mercy!”, “bring me their heads!”, “stake his head for his subordinates to see.” And other cruel and gruesome commands he could hardly imagine himself voicing out.“What sort of life did I lead before now?” He asked himself as he startled back to reality, shocking his wife, Sarah, as well.“The nightmares again?” She asked as she sat up, rubbing her eyes.“Yes. I’m sorry.” Kai apologized, sitting up as well. “It’s okay. Should I get you some water? Advil?” She asked as she rubbed his shoulders. “No, thanks. I’ll just get ready for work.” He replied as he pulled himself out of bed, heading for the bathroom.In the bathroom, he splashed ice cold water on his face and he stared at his reflection in the mirror. He had sunken eyes from his sleep constantly being cut short by ridiculous, otherworldly nightmares. He h
