The Elderien Chronicles The Riverside(4)
Blaize blocked the first hit from the Buba with his sword, but the strength of the Man that struck him made him struggle to get a grip on his sword. The man struck again and Blaize dodged it and tried to attack, but the Buba was wise.He quickly dodged Blaize's strike and tried punching him in the face, an attack which Blaize saw coming and dodged. The man groaned, hurled at him, and struck again. Blaize quickly leaned to the side and when the man had lost his footing, Blaize slashed his back, but what slashed instead was the armor the man wore beneath his clothing.He chuckled as he kicked Blaize in the chest, sending him to the ground. Blaize did not see that coming. Who wears armor on their backs? The man twisted his axe and tried to strike Blaize again but Blaize dodged it. There was a similarity between the way the Buba fought and the way the leader of the band that attacked them at first fought.Plus, the other members of the Buba all stood, watching the fight, like they wanted

Victori cried as Blaize carried her through the streets, the knife still fixed to the now gory sight surrounded by blood clots. She whimper and held on to Blaize as tightly as she could, crying into his shirt with his nails digging into his back."Hold on, Victoria. Hold on. I will get you somewhere safe." Blaize said to her as she kept crying."Vector, they're following us!" The princess said to Blaize and he looked back.Hurling after them were about three Buba, all holding axes as they ran towards them."Fuck!" Blaize cursed and adjusted his grip on Victoria. Her wound had begun to bleed even more and she was becoming pale. But what could he do? He was not a healer. How could he save her? How?"Run as fast as you can. Do you hear me? Just keep following me and never stop!" He said to the princess who quickly nodded as they dashed through the streets.By that time of the day, the streets were filled with people. Traders displayed their goods, fisherman brought out their newly caught
The Elderien Chronicles Sam's place
Blaize stood by the side of the window, watching the little movements that seldom occurred in the alley. He did not understand why the alley was so dark and secluded. The alley would be a perfect place to orchestrate a crime and those were the kind of places people were taught to avoid in Elderien. Mages and guards took shifts to prevent Lawbreakers to perpetuate immoral things at such places.But there he was, tired, hunted, and doing the freaking best he could at that moment. He didn't want the Buba to find them by surprise. He did not like surprises, to begin with. He wanted to be aware if they managed to find them and curb their efforts before it was too late.Blaize glanced at Victoria who was sleeping on the table. The wound had been dressed but her shirt was ripped to get her access. A clean piece of clothing was placed over her to protect her decency. Surprisingly, it was the ride woman who did it.The princess was by her side. Cecilia say on a chair beside Victoria and watche

"How is she?"Blaize asked Cecilia as she walked towards her. She smiled when she raised her head, and the smile was genuine. It showed sorrow, but yet, relief and affection. She was beginning to care for Victoria as well, which is more reason why Blaize knew he needed to keep her safe and get her to her people. It was no longer about the money. Things had changed."Well, she is still breathing. That is a good thing, right?" She asked Blaize who just nodded."As far as I can tell." Was the response."Why couldn't you heal her? Is it too tasking?" She asked, trying to understand how magic works."Healing is not what I do," Blaize responded. She tried to wrap her brain around the response but she was not really getting it."There are mages that can heal, there are mages that can read minds. There are mages that can manipulate minds, and there are mages that can move things with their minds. There are several gifts, and it is actually impossible to figure them all out." He said to her.
The Elderien Chronicles Vision
He was back at the inn.Blaize gasped softly as he found himself standing at the entrance of the inn again. It was dark, and the moon was nowhere to be found. The air was chilly with a pungent smell that seemed to irritate Blaize to the depth of his soul.He groaned while he slowly stepped inside. As he did so, he could feel the wave in the air, the antigravity around him, almost pulling him from the ground. The force of antigravity was already levitating some people, leaves, dirt, and other light materials from the ground.How did he get there? The last time he checked, he was at the healer's place, taking care of Victoria. He had eaten something there when it was nighttime and stood guard by the door. He must be dreaming then. That was the only logical explanation for what was happening to him.Blaize looked back into the streets and found them empty. The darkness spread across it like a cloak and it prevented him From seeing more ran a few feet away from him. There was no sound fro
The Elderien Chronicles Vision (2)
Blaize groaned as he crashed to the ground. The dust from the ground he fell in smeared all over his face. Although he did not bleed, he knew his body probably had a bleeding nose at that moment. Blaize dragged himself up. He needed to wake up but the sorcerer had taken control of everything. She was using dark magic to keep him in that state. Bloody bitch!He looked around and saw he was inside the cave where he and the princess had spent the night before Victoria arrived. Did the sorcerer also have access to his memories? And if that is the case, how much does she know about him already? Blaize wasted no time but tried to leave the place. However, there was a powerful forcefield preventing him from leaving. The field was nothing he could not break if he had his magic. But since that was not an option, Blaize decided to find other ways to exit the place.There was always a way, a backdoor. He just needed to find it.He walked deeper into the cave and along the way, he saw the fire t
The Elderien Chronicles The Buba attack
Blaize gasped as he opened his eyes. His spirit had quickly jumped into his body, giving him that jolt he needed to wake up. It felt more like an electric current rushing through his body. It was powerful, but at the same time, like all electric shocks, it could partially immobilize him.It was quiet inside the healer's place. The fire was lit and was warming the rather Cold night for the patients. At the side of the room, Victoria still slept, unconscious and the princess was by her side. Sam was awake and was busy reading something at the side of the room. When a man coughed, he quickly looked in his direction and that was when his eyes caught that of Blaize's.He saw Blaize gazing at him, trying to move or speak but could not. Sam quickly got up and rushed towards him and when he was close enough, he touched Blaize's head with the dorsum of his palm."What is it? What's wrong?" He asked Blaize who kept looking at him. His lips could not open and it seemed like the jolt that had gi
The Elderien Chronicles He is stable
A sharp headache.That was the first thing Blaize felt when he tried to open his eyes. He could feel his head banging like a thousand drums were being played within it. The ringing in his ear made everything worse. His vision was disoriented and when his eyes roamed towards a little stream of light entering the space he was in, he quickly shut them again. It felt like the light was burning his eyes out.Blaize took a deep breath and opened his eyes again. At that time, the magic running through his veins had already begun to renew him. He could feel his strength returning to him gradually. It was a moment that Blaize realized that he was actually not free. His hands were bound above his head and the large chains were fastened to the ceiling. He looked up and tried shaking himself free but his efforts were futile. His legs were bound as well and his feet were barely touching the ground.The room he was in was quite dark, with only a single source of light: a hole in the ceiling throug

Alastair
***Final Chapter***The monster hurled at the ship with a force so great that its punch pushed the ship backward. They were lucky not to have sustained a tear because Alastair and Blaize had formed a shield to block the punch. The shield, however, shattered immediately upon impact.The ship groaned and tilted from side to side, and what came next were screams from the crew as they fell into the sea. The captain struggled to find her balance, however, that was proving difficult. The ship groaned again and tilted to another side, shaking the captain's grip off her sword with which she had stabbed the deck.She screamed as she glided towards the sea, which at that time was already being occupied by monsters that looked like snakes. There was a multitude of them, and their hisses could be heard. They had killed the members of the crew that fell into the sea.As the captain was about to fall overboard, Blaize created a shield that blocked her path and pulled her back into the ship. She exch

The ship (2)
"Set sail!"The captain's voice rang through the entire ship as men busied themselves with their jobs. The crew members ran Helter skelter as they tried to get the ship running, and in no time, they did. The ship roared as it sailed on the sea, a sight that sent shivers down Cara's body For Alastair, he just stood beside her and watched other members of the crew as they worked tirelessly. The captain was no longer with them. She was busy shouting orders, screaming at the men, and cursing them as they worked. Considering the fact that she was much smaller than most of the men on the ship, it was a funny sight to see.She soon sent Alastair a gaze and nodded to him. Alastair returned the gesture. As soon as the captain looked away, Alastair smiled softly. The time was finally approaching, and there was nothing to stop destiny from unfolding. He was still lost in thoughts when he suddenly began to feel like there was a pair of eyes looking at him.It was the same feeling he had gotten b

"Stand firm. Widen your stance and fix yourself to the ground. Strike with intent."Alastair instructed Cara as she sparred against him. Her moves had gotten better already but they still needed some more work. She groaned and struck Alastair, putting in so much of her energy that she tripped and fell down when Alastair made a false move."Predict where I will be. It will be what you need most of the time. You need to see the bigger picture when you are dealing with an opponent. Stand up and come at me again."Alastair instructed and Cara obeyed. She was past the stage of grumbling. She knew she needed to become stronger for what was coming.She charged and did her best to predict Alastair's moves. But they were too advanced for her. However, Alastair did not hold back. If she was to fulfill her destiny, she needed to become better than he was. Alastair decided to do a move to throw her off balance but Cara suddenly blocked it.Alastair was surprised. He pushed a bit further and intro

Lullaby
"Why don't you put down the crossbow and we can talk this through like adults?" Alastair said to the captain who scoffed at his guts. Her eyes were blaring with anger, and the only thing in her eyes other than anger was turmoil, pain, and regret.She steadied the crossbow in her hand and fixed her gaze upon Cara. Her eyes never left her. It seemed like she could remember what happened that day, the fire that suddenly blasted them all apart. She could remember the smell of burnt flesh which filled the air, saturating every part of the house. She could remember the smell of her own flesh and the moment that hit her, her face twitched a little. She took a deep breath and pointed the crossbow at Cara. Alastair did not want to use his magic against her for he knew they would be needing her help if they were to get to the isle of mists. But how the captain survived was still a mystery. He was certain she had died."You! You did this to me!", The captain said and pointed to the scarred part

Fear
"You didn't even ask for her name." Cara said to Alastair as they walked down the busy road. Their short time at the pub had not turned out the way Alastair hoped. He just kept walking in silence, and the silence was what made Cara uncomfortable."I did not need to," Alastair replied and she scoffed."Why not? She was clearly into you and you liked her as well. What is stopping you?" Cara asked, but then she realized how insensitive her statement was. She should not say such things about Alastair's relationship."Is it because of Miranda?" She asked but he was silent."How do you know she is still waiting for you?" Cara asked again but Alastair still said nothing. She was right. He did not know. But the thing bothering him was that he might not live to find out. "I... I do not want to forget her. I want to cherish our memories together until there is nothing left of me. That is why I cannot look at another woman. But what do you know? You are just a child.".Alastair said and scoff

Pub
The night still ravaged on as Alastair and Cara kept walking down the streets. Alastair got the chance to see more of the town, like he had secretly desired. The town was a beautiful place, quite exotic as well.He did not know if it were the decorations, or the thrill in the air but he was certain that that town had seen alot of bad days in the past and they were trying to make out the future as best as they can. He could see a young woman and two kids which looked like they were hers.The woman glanced at him and smiled, a smile which melted Alastair's heart. He saw that she had twin boys, and the imagination of the kind of life he would have been living if he grew up with his mother and brother was vivid.One of the twin boys ran towards him and gave him a popsicle. Alastair smiled as he took the popsicle from the boy, and giving their mother a nod, she quickly led her eager boys toward a candy shop. Alastair sighed as he watched them. He did not even hear Cara stepping up before h

Prepare for anything
The journey was quiet, and although the moonlight shone upon them like the ever glowing beam of light that it is, Cara was not feeling it. She just kept walking, a step behind Alastair. Her head was bowed, her fists were clenched. Her nails were digging into her palms, although not enough to give her an injury, it still hurt.Maybe she wanted it to hurt. Maybe she just wanted to feel something at the end of the day. She had been so hollow ever since the fight. She could feel Asmodeus crawling around in her mind. She could feel the Phoenix slowly regressing. She could feel the terror that was coming, very one that she was destined to bring upon the world."Are you alright?" Alastair asked her, snapping her out of it. She nodded quickly and looked at him for a moment. "You look disturbed. Is there anything you would like to talk about?" Alastair asked her again but she shook her head. He decided not to press her. If she was ready to talk, she would."Do you miss it? Everything else bef

Keeping it safe
An energy blast escaped from cara's body and hit all those that were in close proximity to her, James and Denise included. The force of the blast was so powerful that it took them off their feet and crashed them onto the ground. Cara let out a guttural growl as energy began to radiate from her body. The red, hot, energy began to gush out even more as her powers levitated her slowly. The growls continued, and so did the fear on lord Karl's face. He has never seen anything like that. He and his followers were not sure of what to do at that point. They slowly stood to their feet and watched as she stretched out her hand toward them. Her yellow eyes fell on them and with a sudden spark, her energy surged again. This time, it did not hit James and Denise. Both were surprised that the energy phased right through them to hit a sorcerer standing behind them and when they turned around, their eyes beheld a horror unlike what they knew before.The sorcerer's body froze. His eyes stretched out

Unison
"Cara... Cara, are you alright?"Cara could hear Fristborn's voice call out to her. She opened her eyes slowly and what she saw was someone she never knew she could see any more. Was she dead, or was she dreaming? She gazed at Fristborn's face and in that split second, she reached out to touch him.But someone else quickly grabbed her hand and she turned and saw Denise standing there. Her eyes roamed back to 'fristborn' but was actually James that was kneeling beside her. She blushed in embarrassment as she quickly say up. They were no longer in the house. From what Cara could see, they were some distance away from the house and it was not too quiet. She could still hear the sounds of guards running around, trying to look for them. The three of them remained silent for a while."What happened?" Cara asked as she rubbed her eyes. It felt like she slept for a long time."You fainted," Denise replied to her. Cara tried to recall what had happened after she felt the surge in her magic b
