More corpses lay in the field.One man was panting while holding his sword in one arm with a strange object in another. Another man was on the ground with a strange black object pierced through his chest. He had become a victim of the opponents coward attack. Ellie cried in horror. She rushed towards her husband who was coughing blood. The blood was dark as if mixed with something else.
"Look like I have hit the jackpot, I was wondering that I would have to find you but you came here all the way yourself, truly foolish."
Ellie tried her best to heal Sebastian but it was not use. She was not yet capable of healing near death wounds.
"The kids..? Blood was now coming out of his eyes.
"I hid them before coming here. They will be okay."
Upon seeing Sebastian in such a state rage came gushing out of her like a stream. Furious she started casting magic like a maniac, casting spells everywhere. Soon a fire started and it was spreading fast.
"Quick, kill her before anyone else gets here."
They were soon surrounded.
'I hope my kids make it to father.'
Sebastian got up as if in a last resort. Body fully bloodied now and incapable of mustering strength.
"You bastards, you you ... Poisoned him and even cast curse magic?. Truly despicable and shameless of you."
"It was worth it focus all our strength on subduing Sebastian first. As a mage You are not much of a trouble for the leader.
A man had been approaching the village coming from the border side when the chais had started. He had now reached the scene.
Upon seeing him both Sebastain and Ellie were shocked.
"Suprise" he said.
"You... You should be dead. I remember it. You had died. So how are you here ?
" Hmmmm You didn't like my suprise?....
Who knows, maybe ask the person in charge of overseeing the dead?
As to whether I truly died or not."
Elena cast a thunderbspell at him but to no avail. He flicked the incoming spell with his bare hands.
"Get me her son."
People left in pursuit of the kid.
"Shhhh.... Elena be quiet or we will be caught. Mom will be back."
He saw smoke rising from the direction his mother had gone to. He was contemplating whether to go or not when suddenly he heard noises.
" One child."
"Are you sure only on..?
"Yes tha ..... Lord told "
He put his hand over his mouth and also covered his sisters.
'I have to do it. I need to. I know I can do it. Yeah I can outrun them. I know it. '
As soon as the noise quietened down he ran off as fast as he could. He was running through the final segment of the jungle.
"Someone is running over there"
"I see him it's a child. He is their son. Get him"
About five people had started running after him.
He dared not to look back. A fire blast wizzed above his head burning some if his hair. The people were gaining on him. A water bullet chipped of some skin of his leg causing him to get unbalanced and falling down. He fell in a way hitting his head. Ellie fell a little front of him not feeling much of the impact.
"Two kids ?"
"They had two kids. Get both of them."
Aldrich falling on his head had much more of a impact inside him than it did outside. He got up in a daze
"Knock out the kid first." The head among them said. One of them started.
He was about to reach Aldrich when Aldrich Pointing his hand towards the chasers cast a huge fireball at them.
Upon hitting the first it exploded causing the others to also get hurt.
He had got four of them to the ground but the fifth one remained. Aldrich started to fall and felt his consciousness fading. He heard some voices.
"Get the cult member."
He looked to his back and saw dozen men on horsebacks. Thud
He fell down and his consciousness wandered off somewhere.
He opened his eyes and saw himself in a white space finite yet infinite at the same time. He head started paining. He held his head and screamed. It felt as if a thousand needles were pricking his brain.He was getting back his memoriesfrom his time as Akir. They had benn sealed inside him. Just as when he felt He could not longer handle it and was going insane the pain stopped. There was only silence then. He closed his eyes again and muttered..
I am Akir... or am I Aldrich?
A splash of cold water hit his face as he snapped back to reality. He was on a chair face to face with a other man in front of him.
He said
"Now I will be asking you some questions kid and I want you to answer them truthfully. Ok you ,understand me right?
Aldrich nods his head and looks around. They are ina small room.
"Where is my sister?"
"Your sister is safe and is currently being examined for any injuries. How about you answer my questions so that I let you meet her?
"Ok"
"What is your name, your full name?
