“Just…let’s get this over with.”I can’t believe this. I couldn’t believe I can pull a stunt like this. It’s like as if I am committing a sin for someone. I closed my eyes when Frode inhaled my scent in his nostrils. He’s like an animal that’s luring his prey in the corner.He’s thinking of something.“But first…” he mumbled against my flesh before pulling away.“Let me treat your wounds first. You can’t escape if you’re badly beaten like that.”I blink when he turned around, starting to pour something on the container. I exhaled a loud breath, glad that he take a step backward after invading my personal space.“Be a good girl while I’m treating you.” he exclaimed turning around so he could look at my eyes.I gulped, nodding. He grab my other arm then started to take care of my wounds. I tried to move so that it would not be difficult for him to take care of my wound when I cried out in pain. I automatically held my stomach. This is what the opponent poured his attention a lot earlier
I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Apparently, I feel like I'm dreaming.I couldn't stop myself from shedding tears as I watched his appearance. It's been almost a few days since we last saw each other. But, why am I suddenly homesick? Why doesn't my heart stop beating while I stare into his eyes?Is it because of the idea that I will be saved? Can we escape from here? Or because of his presence?I don't know the answers to my questions. But, I can only guarantee one thing.I missed him.Lowell coughed several times as he waved his hands because of the thick smoke in his place. He slowly opened his eyes to meet Adolf with a serious eyes examining him.I swallowed, looking back and forth between the two of them. Lowell's armies were driven back by Adolf's presence. I can't blame them if they react that way. Because Adolf's appearance is not far from his dead father.“I-is that Wolfrith?”“T-that can’t be. Wolfrith is already dead.”“It’s impossible he’s alive!”They whispered variou
I do not know what happened next.I just realized that I was looking up at the sky, watching the sky surrounded by clouds. My eyes narrowed when I noticed that the color of the cloud was gradually changing. It's turning dark, it seems, a heavy rain will pour again."Daciana!"Screaming.I heard a lot of people screaming. I couldn't move my body, not even my head, to see who the voices were coming from. My whole body is painful and shivering. What is happening to me?"Daciana! Hold on!"Who is that? The voice was familiar to me, but, vague to my hearing. I gasped when I felt something shaking my body, apparently, begging me to stay conscious."Please! Stop the fight! She's losing a lot of blood!""Daciana! Stay with us! Stay awake!""W-what's happening?"I couldn't look at them even though there was a hint of concern in their voice. I feel a liquid forming in my mouth and I want to vomit it all. But, I don't have the strength anymore. I feel so frail as I tried to raise my hands, reach
Adolf almost ran restlessly while carrying me bridal style just to follow Stoic's crew after hearing the news.I pray fervently for Stoic and Frode. I can't help but worry for their condition. I hit Adolf's chest several times to make him run faster.“Adolf! Faster!”I heard his jaw tighten and his speed doubled. He had already passed Stoic's crew and was leading the race. After a few minutes, Adolf suddenly stopped running and thick smoke greeted us because of his braking.I swallowed a few times as I waited for our view to clear. It didn't take long for the smoke to disappear and what opened up to us made my heart almost fall to the floor.“I-is everyone okay?” one of Stoic’s men asked while helping the other men who’s lying on the ground, almost unconscious.My fists clenched as I looked around. While many enemies had fallen earlier, there were several of Stoic's men bloodied and wounded lying on the floor.Others could barely stand. Others are forced to fight for survival. I can't
I ignored Adolf all day.After we escaped from the enemy's territory, we looked for a secluded place so that the enemy could not catch up on us.“Is everyone okay? Is everyone here?”“Chief! There are around twenty casualties, five are missing, but, the rest are okay.”It was obvious from Stoic's face that he was relieved because most of them was fine. But, it can also be seen in his eyes that he is uneasy because there are five people missing from his member.“I can’t believe some humans are working under Azariel.”“Do they have any idea that Azariel wants to wipe out every human in this land?”“Oh, heavens I just hope this war will be over soon. I’m tired and injured.”I stopped cleaning a wound on one of Stoic's people when I heard someone talking to my side.I looked over my shoulder and there were three people talking to the side. They are wounded, weak and obviously hungry. I can't help but to feel sorry for their situation because they seem to want to give up.I looked down at t
Adolf and I haven't seen each other for almost five days.I couldn't help but think deeply and wonder how he was doing. I don't know what Stoic has planned for us. I feel like we're wasting our time this way, especially since so much is changing in the Land of Dawn.The soils are already scorched and divided several times in the middle. Plants, grass and some weeds are dying. The atmosphere has been cloudy for a few days. It's windy, but I'm sweating because I feel like it's hot.It made my mind wonder what can happen on this continent. I don't know if this place will last?“Daciana! Focus yourself!”My eyes widened when someone shouted. At the same time I came back to reality, I saw an arrow is coming towards me. I couldn't move from my place because I was so aghast when a hand stopped the arrow to hit my forehead. I swallowed then slowly look up only to see the tip of the arrow is almost an inch closer to hit me.That…was so close. I thought I was going to die."How many times do I
Five days.We haven't seen each other for five f*ckign straight days.“Focus on your stance! You have to reach your goal! Don’t ever lose yourself on the line!”I clenched my fists and clinched my jaw as I tirelessly rained punches on my opponent. Alve, who is one of the members and now Stoic's right hand, tells me several times to focus on my opponent. I know they are just dummies that were made for me but their training is not enough.I need a strong opponent to know where my strength will reach. I'm sick and tired of fighting hand crafted dummy opponents who don't fight back.I jumped high to destroy the remaining dummy in the middle. With a one last blow everything got destroyed. His head fell and all of its remaining body scattered on the ground. After the fight, I easily walked back to Alve's place where they watched me.He grinned at me that reached up to his ears. Without emotion, I looked down at his feet where I saw the head of the dummy I destroyed. I kicked it because it w
“Are you even listening, Adolf?”Someone snapped their fingers right in front of me, pulling me back to reality. I shake my head then focused my full attention to Alve whose brows were furrowed into a straight line. He glanced at me from head to toe before poking on my head.“You’re lost with your own thoughts. I have been calling your name but you aren’t responding. Perhaps, there is something bugging your mind?”I clenched my jaw then roamed my eyes around our area. I realized that everyone is looking at me. I blinked then let out a sigh, raising my hand as a sign of apology.“As I were saying, are you ready to challenge one of our strongest fighter?”“What?”Alve didn’t explain any further. He took a step aside and in an instant a huge man was in front of me. I have noticed him before since he’s different from the rest of Stoic’s men. His muscles are in the right shapes, and had broader chest compared to mine. He has long beard that’s braided but bald. Furthermore, I have known him
