“So we are supposed to be some sort of Rlrats for you to test if your explosives work? Is this even lawful?’ Keitj demanded in frustration..He was angry that people were feeling down and there was nothing he could do about it.It annoyed him even more to know that some people had the power to make sure these deaths were avoidable but they are decided to abuse it instead!“Everything we do is lawful. As long as the three Masters decide that that is what they are going to do, then the kingdom will have to follow suit” Jeff said without blinking..“Now enough with the boring questions, one of you is getting tired of standing! I wonder what it will look like when they explode into pieces”Horrified, Keith glances back to look at the person Jeff was talking about.It was a young man barely in his twenties, shaking on his feet. It seems as though he could no longer stand and his entire body weight was starting to wear him out…“Hey, hey! You have to stand! You have to stay strong okay? You

“You can't do that to us! You said you would let us go once it's dawn.. it's dawn already” Keith said..He was exhausted but he was going to make sure that they got justice! How could they think this was okay? Gambling with their lives like that is very wrong! “What did you say young man?!” the master asked “Who do you think you're talking to?! He's a master you little weasel!” Jeff yelled in annoyance.Keith ignored him. He was just a sad man who derived pleasure in people's deaths..A twisted and pathetic man..“You told us we would leave by morning” he said again,making sure he'd heard what he said earlier..“How dare you talk to the master like that?! Who do you think ypu are to talk carelessly?!” “And I made a change of my mind” The master offered.“Why would you go back on your words? I learnt masters don't change their words no matter what happens!” Keith said “Are you saying our master lacks integrity? You piece of scum!” One of the three Masters shot back in anger…“I d

Just when the men were trying to relax, Jeff steps into the room, a sinister smile on his face.“Where is Keith? The master wants to see you”Keith was on his bed trying to catch a nap when he sits up in surprise..He wasn't expecting them to take action almost immediately.He was expecting this to happen maybe the day after. He didn't think they were the kind of people to work on things immediately…“Right now?” Keith asked“Did I stutter? Don't keep the grandmasters waiting or you will pay for it with your life”Jeff steps out of the hall and Keith follows right after almost in fear..“Keith, I hope you survive this” Sean said, genuinely concerned for his friend..Just as Keith stepped out of the hall, following Jeff, he realised just how big the temple was…They worked past a group of men who were training. They were all wearing black with golden linen, practicing with different types of weapon..Some of them trained with sticks, some had chained balls, some had double edged swords

While everyone was asleep, they heard a loud noise that force them all awake..It sounded like someone hitting a church bell intentionally to wake them up!The men were cursing out loud, irritated by the sudden disruption of their sleep..Before they knew it, men dressed in black started to whip them with with a horse whip, forcing them up!When the men try to fight back, they were beaten even mercilessly!Keith, who was yet to heal from the terrible beating he had received the day before, received an equal amount of lashing…Finally, all the men were awake, majority of them on the floor, wailing in pain…‘I am glad all of you are now awake. I'm going to make this very brief. You wake up before the break of dawn and clean the entire hall”“Anyone whose bed is on disarranged to be punished. Anyone who is yet to have their bath before the break of dawn will be punished as well”“Breakfast will be served once the cock and whoever gets there late will have to wash everyone's plate”“You h

“I said get up on your feet rest this minute!” the instructor yelled in anger…Keith was too tired to respond and all he did was lay back on the floor under the sun like he was dead…He receives another thrashing from the annoyed man but stays very put..‘I said get up!” he screamed againKeith was willing to annoy this man for as long as he possibly could.If there was one thing he learned, it would be that when someone is so upset, they will do the unthinkable.Which would only make them look like a very unstable person..Maybe the instructor would realise he wasn't acting like a regular person would…“If you remain down there, we are going to throw you into the house of the bears”Stunned, Keith stood on his feet, wincing in pains. Are they really going to throw him into the house of the bears like they had said?Standing in front of him was Master Choi. His face seemed like something straight out of a nightmare!Keith wondered just how much pain he had gone through to turn out li

“Grandmaster I think the unthinkable has happened!” Jeff said as he hurried towards the Grandmaster's table..The Grandmaster is busy writing as usual but he was paying attention as well..“You stepped into my chambers without knocking, this better be something worth it!” ‘Grandmaster , we just discovered a commoner with a gift! How is that even possible?”“We have cases of gifted people dying and then commoners stealing their gifts from them. Why should this be some fantastic news?” “Master, this is more intense! The commoner is Keith and the way he controls this gift is almost like he was born with it!”The Grandmaster pause his writing amd frowned down at the mistak he made..“Keith you say? It seems that young man is everywhere in this templel. I'm sure that name will echo through the walls once he is done with his training!”“Master you have to believe me! The amount of control he has over this gift is like one born with it! The only ones who can exert this amount of control a

Ellinor straps her sandals on, ready to leave but Rose steps into her room just as she was about to open the door….“Thank goodness you are here! I wanted to show you something” Rose said before taking in Ellinor's outfits..“You are going somewhere. Where are you heading to?”“I think I should make a stop by jade temple”Rose stares at her in silence before bursting into laughter.“You think you should go and pay him a visit after sending him off to die?”“The Grandmaster sends one of his disciples to deliver a message to the master about Keith. It's a sign that he is not dead. At least not yet..”“If I were Keith, I would kick you right out of the temple the moment you step in!”“I did that for his own good! He has to understand that!”“You sent him off to die for his own good? Listen to yourself! All you've done so far is make his stay miserable and you really think he would even look at you?”“It's my choice to train him, isn't it? And this is the way I chose to. Why should any

“You should have told me you brought us here to be meat for bear!” Rose snapped as she swings another set of arrows towards the bear heading her way..Ellinor is battling with the second, swaying her sword and slicing at every given chance.“You really think I would want anything to happen to you” “Why would I bring you here knowing that you could possibly die? Do you know what the master would do to me if he finds out about this? He is going to end my life that very minute!”Rose dodges a swing of the bear’s hands, landing on her feet as she tosses another set of arrows towards his neck again..How many of her poisonous arrows would it take for this monstrous being to die?“You really think my father will do anything to you if I end up dead? If you ask me, he cares about you more than he cares about me!”Ellinor moves out of the way as the bear tries to stump on her. She gets another slice of skin around the ankles but that was enough to make the bear stumble forward…“I'm not his
