Alan's pov...That night I prepared to leave that house, as all were getting ready to attend the banquet, I was ready to start my journey to the west.The keys to the truck I used before were still on my so I have a way out safely without being caught.As they all departed from their house I got the chance to escape, Daniel was attaching all the time with me but he was the chief guest of that party after all, so he had to leave me alone, to greet all the other officials that came to meet him personally.I fled away from there in that truck leaving behind a letter for him, it was a peaceful journey as there was no one to stop me or irritate me, but after driving for so long I heard some shuffling sounds from the trucks carrier,I was sure that the truck was empty but those sounds did irritate me, could it be some animal?I was already out of town, but the place I was in was very near to the plains where the territory of bandits started.I ignored it because even if I go and check who t
The moment I saw Aria, my mind was blown off but I can't help myself, I was confused as to hell, what should I do now? I have to take her but after driving so long, the fuel in the truck was below the warning level and the place I was in was nothing but a deserted plain, I couldn't find human survival let alone fuel for the truck, before leaving I thought that I can leave that vehicle somewhere and continue my journey by finding other ways.But everything got back to the starting point because of this girl.She was standing before me looking at me being restless, "I am sorry brother... it's all because of me" she hung a long face, "But I really didn't do it on purpose...I swear," she was nothing but a small girl, I was convinced that she couldn't do it on purpose but no matter what she is now the greatest burden for me."You can talk in the shelter," called out that old lady and we went back to her house,The clothes hanging to dry there in the corridor were all colorful young lad
Alan's pov...I and Aria went to the truck and I checked the fuel in the truck, as I expected, it was below the red mark, hardly enough to reach that caravan, but something is better than having nothing. I drove but Aria stopped me, "Brother... I forgot the only water bottle we had in there, let me bring it," she was getting down but I hesitated to send her alone I went in to bring it and asked Doru to protect her in secret.As I went back to that house, I heard she was talking to someone, as I expected she has a companion, but why was she hiding them? "Ahem...!" I grunted and she came rushing, "What.... you left just now....why are you.....?" she hesitated and I found it awkward, the way she was behaving was suspicious, but I can't do anything about it anyways, "Aria forget the water bottle inside...!" I said explaining my return, "Wait here...!" she rushed in and brought the bottle out, I said thanks to her and took the bottle away, I turned back and she didn't move from there
"Do you guys have something to guard you...! what do you know about those bandits?" I queried him, for that he heaved a sigh, "We are just passers, we don't know more about them but I heard that they are so dangerous, have you seen the villages around, they all were either killed or robbed by those bandits, only those with magical powers can survive here...!" he said letting out his warm breath, I was thinking deeply on how should I deal with those bandits, I stood up to go back to check on Aria, it was dark already and I had been out for so long, I don't know what those scary ladies might have spelled on her, "Done already...! I thought you would have many more things to ask..!" mumbled Tony in a puzzled tone, "I need to check on my wife first...!" I said while moving to the tent and giving him a friendly smile, he sat there and I strode to the tent, As how it was before, I heard giggling again coming out of the tent, I hesitated to get in when I heard their talk, "Is he really
Alan's pov...Those attacks were not by any of the enemies but by that old man the master of this caravan himself, "Yes it's me, young man, now tell me who you are and where did you get this demon from?" he asked walking towards me, "Louis....!" I heard Aria's voice with a punch of fear, when I turned back, my fist clenched to see two of the ladies holding Aria's hands and dragging her like a prisoner, She was crying in fear,"What the heck is this?" I grunted in anger, that was my limit, how could they treat a little girl like that, "Leave her..!" I roared at them and those ladies trembled in fear, they left Aria and she fell on the ground, I rushed to her but that old man's demon held her in the air, it was getting more irritating, "Enough...! Doru... get her out of this mess...!" I ordered and he took her out of the grip of that little demon so easily like he was blowing a candle before him, "We are not here to fight with you, young man, I know we are of no match for you, we
Alan's pov...That old man was explaining to me about that island when suddenly there was an explosion and we all fell to the ground, I couldn't see anything but smoke and mud everywhere, that was some kind of toxic smoke, I was feeling dizzy and fell unconscious. I don't know how much time I was unconscious, but I felt that it was too long, my body was crushing in pain, just like someone was piercing needles into my skin, "Uhh...!" I screamed before opening my eyes to see where I was, I couldn't move my body, not even my hand, what the hell was going on?I slowly opened my eyes, it was like my eyelids had gone heavier than rocks, as if someone had stuck them, I could hardly lift them, Where is this place? I blinked my eyes to see carefully what the heck was going on and where I was in, As I could see, I was in a prison, tied with huge chains all over my body, I was alone in that prison but I could hear people screaming in pain,Where is this place?How did I end up here?My he
On being inquired she accused the king of my land to be a killer, "Whom are you talking about?" I asked, it was impossible that grandpa might have done that, "Your king send an ambassador here with a proposal, my father respected him and he betrayed my father" she snorted in anger, envoy....!Was that Louis...!But Louis won't do that either, then whom is she talking about?"Can you be more specific? who was the envoy? and from where?" I wanted to clarify my doubts, I am sure it wasn't anyone from Verona, or I would have known about it."A man from Verona, he was a disabled man, my father helped him and treated him with his magic, but he deceived him and killed him," Verona...!Disabled person...?Who...?"Wait... you said Verona...can I know his name?" I asked her and she glared at me furiously as I looked confused, "Nicholas...!" she retorted and that made me chuckle, she was furious as I laughed, "How dare you....!" she pinned me on the wall, I was surprised as it was so unexp
Alan's pov..."Do you think I will believe you... anybody can change on seeing that stone like how that bastard changed...!" she snorted in anger staring at me, I know that she won't believe me, but I am telling the truth and I have nothing to hide anyway, "It's your choice to believe that or not but I have nothing to hide," I said raising my hands, "You know magic, isn't it? can't you find that stone with your magic" I suggested and she sniffed at me, "Do you think I will make all this trouble if it was that simple?" she deduced irritatingly, "It can't be traced if it entered its owner" revealed that princess, it made me jerk at once, Enter its owner....!Is she talking about that demonic air that entered me?"Hey... I...need some clarification...!" I asked doubtingly she looked at me furiously, "Am I here just to answer you? do you think I am your slave...?" she snorted angrily, "No... it's just...may I know what that stone looks like...? just in case I have seen it and didn
