Everyone turned to where Mizukonta was pointing her clawed paw, and they saw it. A bright beam of pure magic was being shot straight into the sky. Something terrible was happening, judging by the pressure they were feeling in their bodies as if suddenly, they all weighed more than they should.
The trembling diminished but didn’t stop, and Mizukonta stared at Hinotsume, who was looking at the beam of energy in silence.
He then faced Nozomu and said, “It is time. We need to act fast. The Dragons know what to do, and by now, they are all flying to the Academy to meet us. We must go as well.”
Nozomu looked at Taisetsuna, who was completely pale and staring at him. She immediately understood what Hinotsume meant, and despite the others being puzzled by his words, she was not.<
Before they had time to say anything or see that he was crying, Nozomu ran out the door and helped Koyaga wrap the blankets around the piles of bags with chocolates near the Dragons that were waiting for him.When Draiky brought the last bag and Nozomu tied the last knot, he gave the wrapped blanket to Mizukonta, and he said to the worried Koyaga as he was giving her a dagger, “Go to the Princess. Tell her that Raluth is emerging and that he will control everyone with his Magic. All over the World, no one will resist him, and they will go to him to be eaten. This dagger is coated with a Sleeping Potion and you just need to scratch the Princess with it and you as well. Maybe if you are both sleeping, you have a chance. Trust no one, Koyaga, because the moment Raluth controls them, I don’t know what they will do.”“An
The resurfacing of Raluth was felt all over the World, but it was the ‘Ifranluan Empire’ that suffered the most because it was in the mountain range in the north of the Empire that Raluth’s head appeared. Or better yet, the entrance to his massive body through his enormous mouth.Raluth’s went deep down in circles, from the head to the rest of his body, creating a never-ending spiral that occupied almost the entire Empire’s underground.When he resurfaced, the tremors lacerated the land, and at the Capital, the Castle cracked, unable to resist the trembling gro
Chujitsuna raised her head, stopping making the trench with her Magic for a moment to look at where Taisetsuna was pointing.She half-closed her eyes and said, “No, those are horses, cows, ‘Scaraar’s, and chickens. Do we need to stop them?”Taisetsuna frowned and answered, “Might as well. It will serve to test our defence! Everyone, make a line! Let’s do this! Chuji! The trench!”“Sorry boss! On it!”Taisetsuna looked at the City again and saw a big group of people coming from the gates with soldiers after them, shooting arrows and Magic. Two people in that group stayed behind to fight the soldiers by creating walls made of rock or throwing Wind Pushes against them, and the rest continu
In front of Raluth’s mouth, Draiky and Oaky were facing him, waiting for further orders.Then, sensing something, Draiky signalled to Oaky, and they both stuck their hands on the soil.A deep hole appeared that sucked them in, and under Taisetsuna, her group, each Teacher, and student, a hole appeared as well, which took them to a few meters underground.Taisetsuna looked around and saw a few vines bound to form two small hands with four tiny fingers.The hands signalled her to wait, and she frowned as she said, “What is the matter, Draiky? Is that you, right?”Both hands gave her a thumbs up and signalled for her to wait again. The others inside the holes received the same signals, and they
The crowd first began to walk backwards, but then ran towards the City, trying to keep as much distance as possible from the nightmare in front of them.Among that group, Taisetsuna noticed a few people with pointy ears and dressed in brown and dark green clothes, and she mumbled, “All this time without seeing an Elfian, and now a bunch were almost going inside Raluth. But they sure ran fast!”At the edge of the trench, Tomiga and the others were telling people to get back to the Magical Circle and to travel to another country, while Chujitsuna was raising the people from inside the trench and telling them the same thing while carrying Tresuria on her right shoulder.None of them could hear, because the screams from Raluth made it impossible, but they all easily understood what they needed to do. R
“With this, ends the adventures of Nozomu Shinchaku, The Amazing Sidekick, as he would be known in the Raluth World. His sacrifice saved everyone, and his friends remembered him forever. As for Taisetsuna, don’t feel sorry for her because she has three men that love her and, with time, were a good replacement for her lost love. The End!”The three children with their eyes glowing were smiling at their mother, Mia Snyder.Her youngest daughter, Susan, asked, “Mother, do you think all that really happened to Grandpa Jack?“What do you think, de
Raluth WorldEvery map has a big blank space to the north and another on the right side of the mainland, as if no one ever went there.Some people have a theory claiming that the World might be older than most people think because there are remains of different civilizations, some more advanced than others.While one civilization was better with Magic, another was not and created several devices that could do many things that are normally done with Magic, but no one knows why they disappeared or when.Those civilizations left behind several things. There are abandoned Cities, Magical Circles that allow for travel between them, and many mines with hidden relics from the past. Those are very profitable, at least the ones that still work or that people manage to understand how to use them, but most mines are infested with Monsters and it is very dangerous to go inside. Only a big and strong Party of Adventurers dares enter a mine, and even they lose a few members in a Quest to one of thos
The sun was high, middle of the morning, temperature of 32ºc. Jack Snyder was riding his company car to visit another client. His phone rang over the radio, connected by Bluetooth. He pressed the small button on the lever at the right of the steering wheel and smiled at the name of his wife on the car radio display, "Hello, pretty girl. Miss me already?""Nah, just to remind you that I will come out late from work, and you have to go get Mia from school. Peter has an exam in the middle of the afternoon, so you can’t count on our older son to go get his sister, it has to be you.""I know, don’t worry. I have one client before lunch, and two more in th
