Chereads / DAUGHTER OF PROPHECY / Chapter 16 - Bloodshed(2)

Chapter 16 - Bloodshed(2)

Gunther's POV

As my team nears the southern gates, we split up into three groups 'the Guardians', 'the elite', and 'the warriors' all led by their respective leaders. I motion for Nala to make her move as the teams and I hide from a safe distance.

Nala is a great warrior in the Nexian empire, on appearance one may see a shy, gorgeous girl trying to look strong while in actual fact the 'girl' is one of the few women I hold with high regards Sophia being the first on the list. Nala has been trained in weapons handling,intense hand to hand combat and can dodge a hit.

She often engages in snickersnee during training. Her bravery and courage to work in a male-driven space is one of the things that makes me lik_

I watch as she limps up along the path directly towards the gates now in full view of of the eleven guards guarding the outside,five on ground and six on top of the wall.

In order to provide an unalarming distraction, Nala is wearing a torn gown on the hems and bloodied on her sides, her hands and face have claw marks, and all in all, she looks like she has been attacked. She holds her sides seeming as if preventing something which to the guards would be her 'supposed blood from pouring out'.

"H-help me!" She cries out. The warriors beside me observing the scene snicker. She sobs as three of the guards advance on her cowering form.

"Th-they a-are af-f-ter m-me" she stutters as her body shakes in fear. Wow,if she ever quits here she can definitely make it as a starlet.

"Who?"

The guards were so focused on her non of them registered the arrows that had shot down the six on the wall. I signal a show time for Spiroz's team as the archers lowered their bows.

Nala feigns a fall and two guards catch her arms. My jaw clenches as one of the guards' hand ventures dangerously low to her bust,I see her hide a sinister smile as her right hand slowly makes way to the side of her midriff to the small knife perched there. As she feels it's head, she takes it and in one swift move has slit the guard's throat.

"So its true that your country's men tend to take advantage of ladies in such predicaments"

"You bit-" the man doesn't get to finish his sentence because she launches the knife into his forehead.

Given a signal, the warriors charge forward whilst warriors from Erabithia charge towards them. Spiroz's team is a large number of a hundred and seven skilled Nexian men and women, so they can handle themselves.

My team of Guardians and I along with Ben and his elite team silently march through the gates unspotted. I know Nala can handle herself so I don't bother looking back. As predicted another batch of warriors wearing the elite symbol on the armor stands in disposition a few metres from the gates.

Ben's team charges forward as men and women give out angry war cries. Nexus is no sexist or stereotype empire, at least not since our king Lord Armourgard mated the goddess of war Hilda. Since then both men and women have been given equal opportunities in their lives and at work, besides, Nala's stunt is proof enough we need the feminine touch in all work places.

My team and I go around the battle towards the last wave of enemy warriors, our own match 'the Erabithian Guardians'. We all simultaneously draw our laser beams from our sheaths.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!" fierce cries are let out as both teams charge at each other. Being in front line I make the first contact and don't look back as my laser beam cuts through the midriff of an enemy guardian.

Weaving my way through the guardians killing them like no tomorrow I finally find myself face to face with the one person that should've never been born

My twin brother...

We stand there both our faces blank of emotions. He takes a step back and walks away from the battle signaling me to follow him. I follow cautiously behind him as he leads me to the woods near the castle. Suddenly, he stops and turns to look at me dead in the eye as I stand back to stare back at him fearlessly.

"Hello brother" he speaks, his words shedding no emotion.

"What do you want Eleazar" I spit his name with so much venom my body shakes in disgust.

"So you've become elite of elite now"

"Among other things, but so have you" I spit back, my fingers itching around the handle of the laser beamer.

"Well I prefer you say head warrior seeing as all ranks are warriors including elite of elite and I am in charge of all warrior ranks in Erabithia."

"You should have died you know" I grind out

"So your mommy could live,I don't think so I prefer to much stay alive"

"You're a monster!" I roar out.

"If that's the new term for survival of the fittest" he replies calmly whilst I try to reign in my beast.

"You tore yourself out of her womb,is that what you call survival" he flinches.

"I did what any normal werewolf baby would have done if its incubator was not stable enough to support its life. I did you a favor! had I not tore her apart you little brother would have died first as first default!!"

"At least the woman who was eager to birth and love me would have been alive!!"

I shout as I launch myself at him. He moves out of the way in lightning speed and his laser beamer nicks me on the cheek.

"I'm gonna enjoy killing you, only then will my parents rest in peace," I mutter agitatedly.

Throwing away the laser beam I then transform into my wolf Hunter and let him take control.
