Chapter 10 - The Tantrum

This is the starting of the end. The war has already begun, who shall wave the flag of victory an who shall fall an never see the face of light again, it all begins now.

" move everyone, there coming, hurry!" minus yelled

The regiments had wiped out most of there forces. All hope was lost, the only thing left to do was retreat with the truncated numbers the has remaining.

" how did they know we were coming, we planned this for months everything just went south so fast , damn!" akena had said while holding chronos' bloodstained body.

" we don't have time for questions we can't answer, let's just get out of here with our lives intact" Kluas had answered

" it's funny that you actually had the audacity to spit this nonsense from your mouth, I see you haven't grown that much since the day our sister ran with you, but unfortunately she died, pfft , pathetic"

" Don't you dare brother, sister was braver than both of us"

"Look where that got here. I bet you didn't even get to bury her. You two are just a filthy creatures I'm unworthy of even existing…" he tilted over an took up the sword and tossed it to Kluas, " but I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself, defeat me and you can leave"

Kluas then turned and looked at all his friends. He realized that this was his only chance, even though he knew that his brother outclassed him, he had one shot and that was his Trump card.

" I accept." Kluas replied

" Good stand up"

Few months ago.

" If this is all you can do you'll be dead before we even reach the main wall, pathetic, get moving" Cipol commanded his fresh vanguard. After Kluas and his team met with the village elders, the came to an agreement. They both knew the only way to win against an unconquered regiment. No one could threaten there impeccable strength, but with Kluas the wielder of the Devine blade, and the jugas the source of unforetold power. The only flaw that they had in there plan to take back there kingdom, was that Kluas couldn't fully control this ability. Kluas hasn't mention this to the elders yet. This was going to be a problem.

" Kluas my guy, why are you sitting out here all by yourself, tell me what happened to your training. I guess those wimps aren't enough to suit your hunger" minus took a seat next to Kluas, and continued, " or are you worried?"

Kluas didn't budge he turned to minus an said, " yeah, I am fearful that this won't be enough. You can't actually expect me to take down kimuah in the state that I am in now. I'm too weak, this isn't the way I saw my life. I didn't ask for this, but yet all this pressure was laid on my shoulder by a couple of old dudes, I'm only fifteen."

He saw his pain, he didn't know which words to use to make his pain less. " there isn't much I can do either Kluas, maybe I'm the most useless person on this regiment, but you, you are destined for greatness, whether you acknowledge that" he paused for a couple seconds then continued, " you're great in your own right. All in say is that; no matter how hard live gets, keep fighting, don't let it win. Be the master of your own destiny, so if you see the chance to escape, don't think twice, just run. For now just focus on the task ahead."

He looked at minus, " for a second there you sounded like an old wise crack, I won't take your words lightly, I'll fight it's time I faced my problems head on, I'll get back to training now."

Kluas got up and went for the training ground. Meanwhile the others were hard at work too, the dynamic trio, christian chronos and camiliam, were tinkering with new magic spells. Back in there glory days they were ranked among the best, both in combat and there ingenuity with magic. There diverse ability help them climb through the ranks very quickly. Some would say if it wasn't for there allegiance to the king, there nobility would put them for above the rest. The only reason they are even in a place like this, was there promise to the king to take care of his son.

The village of deugla

On the birth of the triplets, born to miss frail and kenshi, heads of the kingdom deugla. Finally the long awaited birth of there first born child are so they thought. The queen frail had been cursed by the dark warlock Julius Conperio head of the dark clan infamously known as the black moth, rulers of the dark arts terrors of the day, known by countless names. All indicating that they aren't to be taken lightly. The curse he had placed on the queen was one that brought forth great distraught to the king. As the rules set in stone by the gods many ages ago, the first born child would be the one to inherit the kingdom. The king sought out the magic of the greatest mages of the land. His relentless efforts had no favorable outcome. As evil as he was he loved his wife dearly, and wanted his off springs to be from this woman. If there was a bright light at the end of the cave, they weren't seeing it, all hope was lost the king, until kimuah came along. Finally the king was at ease. The curse had been lifted and now his wife could finally bring forth his offspring. But the help had a price, allegiance was what kimuah was after and he succeeded in doing just that. Word had spread of the new allegiance, when they fell upon the ears of kimuas the ruling king of thorn. Calamity had struck. The raid on the deugla kingdom had begun. The Empire wasn't even aware of this heinous act, nevertheless they fought back with everything they had, that wasn't enough. There forces were obliterated after the first battalion had stroked. Kimuas had found the king and the queen, miss frail was laying in labor. Still kimuas didn't hesitate to take Kenshi's head. He turned and looked at the queen holding her children.

" Please I beg of you spa-" she tried to tell kimuas her dying wishes, but he ended her life and walked away. ( baby crying) the noise from the baby had caught his attention. He went back to see, and saw three little urchins staring back at him, he kneeled down to kill the rest of them but before he could pull his knife one of the babies pulled his beard and started to coo. He looked at the rest and decided to bring them home. While exiting the room he came across a note.

" what's this, hmm, names? Perhaps it's the name for these little people here. ' christian chronos and camiliam' so these are what you will be known as."

after years of service to there beloved king, they had no idea that he was the ruthless lord who murdered there parents in cold blood. The truth was yet to be known.

" hey chronos, whatchu up to?" camiliam had ask.

" a new spell, something to give us a edge in battle ( he looked up at her), very dangerous" he smirk and continued, " but it seems as if I might have mixed up the ingredients for the second batch, the effects weren't as potent as the first elixir. Hmm, I wonder," he turned toward the dark oak wood stand table, stack with herbs and magical items, " camiliam?"

" Yes brother?"

" pass me that thingamajig, beside the osposis ointment."

She looked at him as if he expected her to know what that was. It's true, that They're rank amongst the best magic user, but not for knowing every aspect of it, each had a special area. Chronos, he uses herbs and elixirs to aid his fellow soldiers in battle, known throughout the lands as " medicum" the healer, hands of the gods, his gifted ability to make any herb into potions and medicine raised his stats tenfold. While camiliam specialized in the practical sense of it, she was a magic item. The name "porro faber ferrarius" befits her well, the blacksmith. The quality of her magic items were like no other, the stats of each singular item could surpass any known weapons in existence, only the Devine blade sits above her work. Finally Christian and holds the title " sancti bellator", the holy warrior. As his name suggest he is the fighter of the squad. With his uncanny ability weirder of both dark and light magic. His nature was like no other, only one other person could wield both divinity. He was a god amongst men, the black goat of his squad far surpassing every limit ever set by men, he put his fellow men to shame, no one could match his force or his will.

" Brother, you know that I don't know any of the names for all your vuddo, witchy, ancient arts or whatever you call these, potions."

" why are you so oblivious, I told you that I could teach you everything I know. All you have to do is ask me and I'll surly show you."

" pfft, me asking you for help, never in a million years. So, how is it going now ?"

Chronos looked up at his sister nonchalantly and said, " this is a spell for us to use while we attack,"

Camiliam interrupted, " uh huh, so?"

" Allow me to finish, as I was saying, it will guard us while we attack against the troops of kimuah"

" You do realise that we have tons of healing potions stacked up don't you."

" This is not just a potion for healing my dear, it also enhances the users natural physics, and, this is the fun part, as the enemy attacks it absorbs the kinetic energy off of that attack and adds to either your magical divinity or attack power"

" You sly fox"

" Rather useful to have in our position, don't you think."

" That is for sure an understatement"

Christian barged true the door, " I hope you people aren't slacking off in here, punishment would suit you well if you were"

" Rather the opposite I'd say, I have finished my masterpiece,I shall call it " the elixir" gorgeous name befitting such high quality merchandise, ha hah"

" sometimes I wonder if you were hit in the head too hard as a child" Christian had replied, " anyways it's time to go prepare with the rest of them"

An hour before the attack.

" this is it people( inhales), the attack to take back our kingdom. Months of preparation have finally been set in play, as your future king. I'll see to it that everyone makes it back alive. Enough of that, now the positions, I'll pass the explaining over to minus." Kluas had said

" hello pleasant evening to you all, yes we are about to embark on a death defying, rather scrutinous situation, ( shakes his head) being sent to our deaths is rather a pleasant way to go I guess, kidding, kidding, back to the matter at hand, for the past few months we have been studying and memorizing these formations set before you, each person knows there place on the battle field. We have divided the three special teams, with each squad leader being one the members of the dynamic trio, you all know who they are. Each squad has a different role to play, team a consisting of camiliam, she and her team members will be the long distance attackers, archery, spell casting and so on, team b, chronos' squad will be the healers and support squad, providing support. And team c , the ones who will be leading this attack, Christian and the future king will be the leaders, everyone remember your positions, play this right and no one has to lose their lives, on our side that is it, time to move."

Everything was set out before them, there wasn't any turning point, team A had taken position right out side of the castle walls, wiping out the first obstacle the guard troops who were stationed on the kingdom's wall. Camiliam used her magic item ' gabber' to send the coordinates for the safest possible route. Team B had received the transmission, and went on with there side of the plan. Team B went up the wall to take control of the windbreaker and the main gate so they could let the team advance to the castle. They then sent back a message to team C, " everything is in place, hurry let's get a move on."

The voice of chronos had commanded.

" You heard the man let's get a move on" Christian said.

Team C then proceeded to the main gate with none of the enemy troops in sight. Once everyone was in place Kluas had send out the last transmission, " well, this is it everyone, our only chance to take back what was once ours, I only got one thing to say, we shall walk back out with our hands and any other limb that is important, let us proceed." Kluas finished his statement.

" Wow what a pep talk my liege" Christian commented in sarcastic tone.

The mission was a go everyone rushing towards the kings grand castle, and for some, this place would be there end.

( over the gabber) " hey, guys, don't you think the place a little too empty? I haven't even seen a single citizen." Camiliam had made that deduction .

" Our informist had told us the citizens would be out, put now I'm thinking of it, where would everyone be? The whole city coul-!" ( a loud explosion) chronos was sent flying, the attack came from an unknown assailant. Team B had suffered a great loss of the supporters they had, all of the supplys had been completely diminished.

" Guys wait!! Chronos's team just came under attack I'll go and check it out." You could see that she was scared.

" go check it out, give him a hand if nessecery." He stopped broadcasting over the gabber and continued, " shit!! We have to keep moving." Kluas was still flustered after he heard the first attack.

" Kluas, I don't think we should continue, let's cut our losses and regroup, this is bad, how could they have known where we were at, these are all the blind spots in the kingdom" Christian said.

A voice from a far, " Simple, someone sold you out."

Kluas looked over in the distance as if he knew the person, " you"

" Yes brother me, and I've come to take your head.

To be continued.
