On the nearby cliff, a group of twelve was on their steeds, looking down at the small village below.
All of them wore hooded veils, in the color of the shadows. They remained watching, waiting, and taking notes on everything that was happening.
Their gaze focused on the individuals that were currently joyfully on a plot of land, digging, chatting, and laughing at one another. Eyes glowing red, ominous grins appearing on their faces upon seeing the few people that were there.
Below, the three remained clueless of the beings that were observing them, as they were enthralled by their activities.
Asron’s gaze was glued on Chris, focused on making certain that the youngster was properly moving his hips and arms with each movement.
“Do not use that power of yours. I don’t w

“Damn, it’s another wizard!”Th assailants started scattering into the forest, finding cover, as the rain of fire continue to fall from the sky, turning everything it touches into cinders.“Are you all right, little one?”The fellow was now kneeling beside Chris, giving him a cleared view of the person in question. He had an orb of flames, levitating near him like some guardian. It was the ones who kept shooting those attacks at anything it sees.“Hemlock, what are you doing here?”He asks, a bit confused how and why that grand wizard was there, knowing that he was a busy and well-known in the city.That made the guy chuckle, his eyes almost closing from the amusement at what he said.

“I can’t believe it! It’s actually you, general Asron, the warrior who halted the Krads advancement ten years ago. You’re a legend, even among the mystic temple.”The wizard was all over their leader the moment he could join them. The group was now making their way through the forest, as it turned totally distorted after the little human’s attacks.The entire place has changed completely, not just the terrain, but also the flora. They were more alive and acting on their own, as branches and flower seem to gaze at them.But it seems only Asron, and the Cushar had taken notice of this, as their eyes kept taking glancing at the plants while their two companions were oblivious to the surroundings.“You have quite the mouth.”He just murmured, looking at the still sleeping human in his arm.

“What happened to the mercenaries that you’ve sent? Why haven’t they returned yet?”King Duseous slammed his fist on the side of his throne, causing it to crack. The drogan’s jaw tightened as there was no development of his orders.It had been weeks, but there have been no signs that they had done what he had ordered, making the royal frustrated.“Apologies, there is still no news, my king.”The right hand lowers his head, swallowing hard. There has not been an update from them in days, which was causing panic within their ranks.“How can it be so difficult to dispose of one measly little child?”Duseous was growing impatient. He could not remain calm, knowing that the drogan warrior had someone as

“Sorry if you have to watch over me. I know you really wanted to go with them.”Chris sighed as he grunted, putting all his frustrations in hitting the ground to break it. He was on farming duty today, and Asron clarified he could not use magic.And to make sure of that, they left him with a bodyguard as the warriors had to leave the village at that day.“It’s all right, those fellows who went after you were not normal. They were well trained. I’d rather not leave my human friend alone and unprotected.”Cortus chuckled. They put the guy in charge of watching over. As being one of the strongest in the village, together with the other two older fighters.“Thanks, by the way. Where did the others go to this time? I thought I saw them heading for t

At the far end of the place.That day he was out into the mage’s care, as the others went on a hunting trip, leaving him to assist with whatever the person needed.“You’re adoptive father seems to be quite protective of you.”As Cushar had only arrived there, the only things that they were doing as of the moment were cleaning up the place and setting some of his stuff.“So, what will you be teaching me today?”Chris groaned. He thought that if he was going to stay there with the guy, might as well gather knowledge from him. It was the least he could do, considering that his time gets wasted.“
