Voyage of Mysteries Chapter Sixty Four: "How Many Phobias Do You Have?"
After having a hearty breakfast of steamed buns and roasted tilapia fish, Cassio sat down in the chair to properly digest the food. Joana was doing the housework so he was relieved that he could rest his mind without getting distracted. The bad news? Joana was almost done.With that short period of time Cassio decided to contemplate his existence without necessarily triggering a brain splitting migraine. He decided to think but not think too much about the matter.First of all, where do I come from? Cassio thought within himself, his eyebrows squeezed. I have gleaned that I am of noble blood with great cooking skills and a little combat prowess, is it possible for me to discover my place of origin looking into those aspects? If that's the case, why doesn't Ethan know how to cook or fight? Does he, like me, need something to trigger his subconscious, bringing out those inherent traits which have been buried deep within him?Cassio turned to look if Joana was done with her chores and wa
Voyage of Mysteries Chapter Sixty Five: Chaldeans
By the time Joana was done teaching Cassio how to swim, it was already noon. She was very exhausted and quickly got out of the stream with Cassio. Teaching him how to swim was akin to teaching a goat how to talk. It was very much impossible. And coupled with his phobic reaction to the stream, it made matters worse. After about twenty times of teaching him how to swim, he still couldn't even come close to the stream without shuddering much less attempting to swim."You're the worst swimmer ever!" Joana complained as she walked out of the stream towards a patch of grasses to sit down.Cassio who had long gotten out of water couldn't help but shrug, "I can't swim.""More accurately, you're afraid of swimming," Joana rolled her eyes."Then you're afraid of cooking," Cassio said with a small doze of sarcasm."..."Joana was speechless and didn't know how to retort."We need to go back to the village," Cassio said as he brushed his hair with his hands."I was about to say the same," Joana s
Voyage of Mysteries Chapter Sixty Six: All Devoured
The Chaldean leader who was riding the black horse spoke in a deep voice, "Burn everyone...""You..." he pointed at another Chaldean. "Find a way to make sure that kid never gets back up.""Yes Chief!" the Chaldean nodded without any complaint even though he knew that no one would survive being hit by a poisoned arrow much less falling into a pit. It was a custom for them to burn down everything after raiding a place.The other Chaldeans nodded and immediately lit up torches and began burning everything in the village.The Chaldean took the torch and walked up to the pit where Cassio had fallen. He looked into it and saw that it was very dark inside. Slowly he threw the torch into it and walked away."Let's move before the military comes!" the Chaldean leader said as he pulled the reins. "We don't want them to get to us."The Chaldeans nodded and immediately sheathed their scythes and ran, following the Chaldean leader who was riding on his horse. There was a stampede which caused dus
Voyage of Mysteries Chapter Sixty Seven: Awake
The trio rode for several hours, taking several shortcuts in order to get Cassio to Camelot quickly. They didn't even stop riding till it was evening."Let's stop for rest," Ken said as he pulled the reins, causing his horse to halt instantly. "We can't keep riding all day. We must sure we are physically fit.""Yes, your Highness," Matthew readily agreed, grabbing Cassio off the horse with one hand and hoisting him to his right shoulder. He then came down from the horse."Unbelievable," Thorne said as he got down as well, unstrapping the food supplies.Matthew lay Cassio gently on the ground while Thorne made campfire to keep them warm. Then he brought out the food supplies. They were flanks of roast meat and strawberries.Suddenly Cassio who was in his dream began sniffing, "I smell food...""..."The trio were momentarily speechless. Someone who had been totally unconscious for hours now was now stirred up because he perceived food."Should we call him a glutton?" Matthew asked with
Voyage of Mysteries Chapter Sixty Eight: Monster
Cassio was disappointed when he discovered that he was holding the last piece of strawberry. He had wanted to keep on eating forever but reality always proved to be harsh.He sighed as he popped the fruit into his mouth, licking his lips as he savoured the sweet taste of strawberry and salty delicious taste of roast meat. The combination exploded, causing his mouth to water. He didn't even know when he let out a loud belch, attracting the disgusted stares of the bodyguards and prince."I'm sorry..." he said as he kept a very straight face so that he would not look embarrassed."Whatever," Ken waved his right hand. "Let's get out of here. I don't know how you guys can comfortably eat where there are dead bodies.""..."Matthew and Thorne didn't know how to react while Cassio felt a lump in his throat.Did I just eat in the company of brutally dismembered corpses? Cassio couldn't help but feel that he had done something very embarrassing and stupid. This didn't fit his cold personality.
Voyage of Mysteries Chapter Sixty Nine: Dream
The full moon hung up in the sky, radiating glamorously. The stars shone brightly, seeming like dots of white light in the sky. This scene was beautiful, having an allure of its own. Nocturnal creatures were fully awake, making the night vibrant with their movements and sounds. This added life to the dead night, making it full of natural energy."Ugh..." Ethan groaned as he finally pulled himself out of the marsh, collapsing on the ground with Chase on his back. Both of them were caked in mud from head to toe, their eyes being the only things that retained their original colour."My arms hurt so badly..." Ethan complained as he stretched his arms.He and Chase had been stuck in the marsh for a whole day, finding a way to get out of it. To make matters worse, this marsh was very big and had tricky routes. They were even lucky they came out of it by night without encountering any dangerous animal or monster lurking in the marsh."Can't believe a marsh can be this big!" Ethan said as he
Voyage of Mysteries Chapter Seventy: Mercenaries
A middle aged man sat on a throne made of pure gold, his golden eyes gazing into the distance. Dressed in a white royal robe embroidered with golden silk, he exuded a majestic vibe which seemed unparalleled. A strand of blonde hair peeked out of the gold crown on his head, lying across his forehead. This man was seated in a large hall with white walls and gigantic white pillars. There were golden candlesticks embedded into the walls and pillars bearing white candles which burned away slowly. The floor was tiled with white marbles, displaying absolute cleaningness and reflectiveness. White banners bearing emblems of a golden beast with several heads were hung on the four walls of the hall, one behind the throne of the man. q There was a heavy knock on the door and the man said in a refined voice, "Come in." The door opened and a knight walked into the hall which was obviously the palace. He was dressed in a white outfit with a golden armour adorning him. A white hilted longsword wa
Voyage of Mysteries Chapter Seventy One: Interrogation
"They've been also here..." Chase said as he sniffed at the lumps and ashes remnant of campfire. There was this smell of roasted meat and strawberries lingering in the air.Ethan couldn't help but beam with joy as he pumped his fists and leaped up. I can't believe we're getting closer and closer to finding Cassio! Knowing he's still alive makes me very happy!"Uh, why are you so happy?" Chase asked as he raised an eyebrow (that's if dogs had eyebrows).Ethan regained composure and cleared his throat, "We're getting close in finding Cassio. Shouldn't I be naturally happy?""Technically, yes," Chase pondered. "Logically, no. We haven't found him yet. This scent should have been here for hours or so.""Whatever," Ethan rolled his eyes. "Just tell me when we're going to catch up with them."Chase narrowed his golden eyes as he began counting his 'fingers' with an extremely focused expression. Ethan didn't disturb him as he went about searching for something."By my calculation..." Chase w

Chapter Ninety Nine: Serenity
Cassio and the others who were present on the battlefield and were still alive were healed by the clergyman who had just arrived to stop Walter. He was a Rank six Archbishop of the Church of the Moon and currently oversaw all the affairs of Arthur's City in place of the Prelate who wasn't always around. Like the other clergymen he was cladded in a white robe with silver threads embroidered across, a silver pendant with a moon emblem hanging down his neck. His hair was white as snow while his eyes were as blue as the sea and calm as the morning breeze. His aura soothed everything around, making the battle scene seem like a paradise. Unfortunately apart from Cassio, Ken and Louis every other knight who had attacked Walter lost his life. All of their corpses had being mangled beyond recognition, their armous shredded. "He's being dealt with," the Archbishop said as he pointed at Walter who was now unconscious with his right hand. His action was very smooth and graceful, making the t

Chapter Ninety Eight: Sleep
A young girl walked towards a castle casually. She had sea blue eyes and white long hair resting on her shoulders, her facial appearance gorgeous. She was dressed in a white floral gown, making her look more graceful like a swan. But within those eyes which appeared calm, were waves of turbulence which seemed to swallow whoever looked into them.Soon she got close to the castle and saw several guards standing there with their long spears. They were all dressed in black full body armours with a red dragon emblem imprinted upon them. They all narrowed their eyes within the helmet visors when they saw her."Halt!" one of them shouted as he pointed his spear at her. "How did you breach the castle's defenses?"The young girl smiled before turning back to glance in a particular direction, "It was a casual stroll past those guards."The other guards couldn't help but look at each other before thrusting their spears at her. They didn't know if she had dealt with the other guards or sneaked in

Chapter Ninety Seven: Power of the Destined One
As the clergyman stepped forward, the other knights couldn't help but tighten their grips around their swords. With the power of a Priest, there was nothing this fugitive would do to escape right now. He was nothing but a magician at the Magic Circle array and a knight at the Will Projecting tier. There was no way he was going through the entire army of Arthur's City plus the clergymen who can change circumstances with mere words. It was said that powerful ones could affect reality itself by just saying it. Apart from knights and magicians, clergymen were another group of insanely powerful individuals favoured by the Supreme Goddess!"You can choose to give up and resist, Walter Anderson," the Priest said. "You've suffered a lot and need to be relieved of your resentment."Walter slowly pointed his sword at the Priest before saying, "You're right. I've suffered a lot and need to relieve my resentment. And that's why I must not be captured!"Sword of Crying Phoenix!He immediately empl

Chapter Ninety Six: The Destined One
Cassio walked around the market through the crowd of people as he looked at the items for sale. Many people cast their gazes at him in horror as they moved away to maintain a distance. No, they were looking at something wrapped around his neck."That kid...he's wrapping a mutated python around his neck like some accessory!""He killed it?""Definitely. Look, it's still bleeding!""He looks like one of the knights. He's so young!""Wait, isn't that the style of cloth for the royal bodyguards?""This kid must be terrifying!""Didn't you hear? He's Cassio Patrick, Prince Ken's bodyguard! It's said he's even a Swordsman!""Unbelievable!"While the knowledgeable commoners conversed among themselves, the ordinary ones listened with rapt attention as they asked questions. Of course Cassio heard them but he proceeded to walk without saying anything.Suddenly he heard several bells chime, signifying an alarm. Soon several knights ran through the markets, ordering everyone to retreat into their

Chapter Ninety Five: Development
Cassio moved along with Medusa silently, evading the guards who were patrolling the castle even in broad daylight. He sometimes used the trees as covers and sometimes the statues. Several times the guards would hear footsteps which no doubt belonged to Medusa (who wasn't as nimble as Cassio) and run in that direction. But by the time they were there Cassio was long gone with Medusa. He moved like the wind.Soon they successfully arrived a concealed tunnel on Medusa's direction. This tunnel had a metallic door blocking it. Medusa didn't fret as she took out a hairpin from within her dress, slotting it into the keyhole before turning it professionally."How long have you been doing this?" Cassio couldn't help but ask. With the way Medusa was familiar with the whole lockpick it seemed she had used years to practise this action before becoming a master at it.Click!The door was unlocked and Medusa pushed it open with a smile, "First time I came to the castle I was so depressed and left o

Chapter Ninety Four: Princess Katrina
Medusa clutched her stomach as Cassio led her to the servants quarters. As they went through the hallway she couldn't help but stagger like a drunkard as she blabbered. She even pressed her face to Cassio's face and muttered something about a god coming down to cook for her. Cassio was dumbfounded.I didn't know my cooking would be terrifying, Cassio thought to himself as he continued holding the girl. She slowly directed him to her room and opened the door. As a maidservant assigned to the prince's bodyguard, she was privileged to have a room of her own even though it wasn't grand. It was actually small with a small bed and a wooden cupboard. Despite this it was very clean without any sign of dust or cobweb.Cassio couldn't help but become embarrassed as he remembered the situation of his room. It was always very untidy if not for Medusa who always came to clean it up. This was due to his extreme laziness which was unparalleled just like his culinary abilities.Shifting the thought o

Chapter Ninety Three: Being a Foodie is Awesome
Clang! Clang! Clang!Series of white lights flashed as two blades clashed with each other. One was the blade of a large broadsword half the size of a adult while the other belonged to a saber."Being a knight is all about surviving!" Ken yelled as he continued attacking Cassio, forcing the latter to go defensive. He didn't even give him a slight chance of attacking. "One second of lagging and you're dead!"Cassio's hands were now becoming numb as he blocked Ken's terrifying strikes. Even though this Boxer had reduced his power by a big margin, his strength was still terrifying. When the two blades collided, Cassio could feel his blood boil. Every organ in his body screamed in pain as he blocked Ken's sword strikes.Ken slashed at Cassio's chest, his broadsword tearing through the air. Silvery ripples appeared in the sword's direction, heading alongside the sword towards Cassio.I've always being weak all my life, Cassio thought within himself as he lunged forward. I've never had a cha

Chapter Ninety Two: Little Wishes Are Terrifying
There was silence in the underground cave for some moments before the genie cleared his throat and transformed into a little child with a puff of smoke. This child looked very normal and was dressed like a noble child, golden ornaments decorating his body. Seeing this Philemon couldn't help but widen his eyes which were shining brightly. He felt like snatching the genie lamp right now and becoming the genie's master. If he wished for more wishes that would be insane! Wishing for more genies would be unimaginable! On the other hand the Chief remained very reserved as he said, "There's no problem with that wish so you can grant it with immediate effect." This is why I don't do business with magicians, the genie couldn't help but frown slightly as he closed his eyes, "Coming up!" He then rubbed his chubby hands together, causing an ethereal energy to surround him. The cave trembled for moments as this ethereal energy split into several other energies. These energies had different

Chapter Ninety One: "Open Sesame"
Some miles away from Arthur's City, Camelot's capitalSeveral horses neighed as they galloped across the desert, their long legs digging deep into the hot sands. The riders were all dressed in black outfits which seemed like bandages, hoods over their heads and masks covering their mouths. Scythes were strapped their sides or backs, their eyes narrowing with fierce gazes. This was none other than the Chaldeans, the most powerful and notorious bandits in Camelot. Now the Chaldeans had increased in number and they were now about one hundred skilled bandits.As they rode, only one individual remained in the front of the caravan. His eyes were even more fiercer than the rest and he had a terrifying aura around him. He would occasionally lashed at his black horse, making it neigh as it galloped faster. The others also did the same, following closely behind him.After riding for about an hour, the man in front, who was obviously the leader of the Chaldeans, halted. He raised his left hand u
