As everyone looked at each other's faces, they saw that no one was moving forward, and the guy was about to force it on Mad Eye as she was the next best option. But before I was even able to say a word, they all heard a sweet voice. "I'll do it."
Hearing it, everyone looked at the source of the voice, and as people stepped aside, they saw it was a little girl, maybe four or five years old. Her hands were shivering, but there was a brave smile on her face.
"Are you sure, Dorna; it's no small distance you had to pull the string with all your strength?" Mad Eye stated that she did not doubt her; in fact, no girl did because they had witnessed her talents in shouting and bowing.But there is still an uneasy feeling.
"Yes, I am; I know it won't be easy, but I'll do it, I had to." Dorna spoke as she moved forward in the front lines, while boys looked at her with suspicion.
"Are we sure about this?" "You know we can't build more; there was hardly any material to build this one, but we did it?" said the young man as his hands quivered while handing over the bow to her.
"Well, it can't be helped. "We had no choice but to believe in her because we couldn't wait any longer."said Clara, and everyone nodded.
Dorna's hands were still quivering, as she knew if this went wrong, many of them could die.
"Okay, Dorna, now I'd like to tell you something Lord Drake taught us," he said. "Close your eyes, take deep breaths, imagine your target, forget about everything, and only focus on the steady breath you're taking."
"Yes, just like that, only think about the target now, open your eyes, take aim," Mika said this time.
While Dorna followed all of her instructions, she knew they couldn't be wrong if they were taught by the Lord himself.
"Yes, you're doing fantastic; now pull the string with all your strength and willpower."
And she did as Rika stopped speaking, and now it was all on Dorna, As the arrow burned with orange flames, Dorna could feel the heat, while everyone looked nervously at her; some even closed their eyes.
"Swiss" As Dorna let loose the arrow, it shot forward, cutting the air apart, and soon it started to lose its momentum, going down slowly
"Boom"
The crackers had a connection with the rest of the structure as the arrow dropped inside the oil as flames burst up, and the fire seemed to spread, illuminating the edges of the cave before they found themselves inside a huge domed arena.
""Garhhh! AAhh!""
As everyone heard the scream filled with pain and anger, they sighed and looked around to see the fire burning everything; it was even boiling the water of the lake.
Their eyes darted away from the spreading fire and landed on the shabby figures kneeling on the hill while trying to cover their eyes.
They roared at the light and attempted to fight it, but when they realised it was futile, they turned their rage on them.
While they rushed towards them in rage, running at speeds they had never seen before, they were like blurs to them.
They were all humanoid creatures, but they couldn't find any traces of intelligence behind their eyes, according to everyone who got a good look at them.
They were all naked, with thick layers of hair growing on their heads, blackened skin, overgrown nails, and sharp canines on their teeth; they only resembled humans figuratively.
They were like abominations, like shadow demons from fairy tales; they just resembles humans.
Mika dodged the incoming slash and caught its neck; there was no misdirection or deception; they attacked them out of pure instinct and possibly hunger.
She clutched its neck tighter without bothering about its cry and smashed its head against a rock, cracking it in the process.
She looked around and saw three of them surrounding Clara. As she saw Clara, she used the one she had caught as a shield to push one back, but it didn't help a lot as they pushed her back with brute force and tried to take a bite out of my arms.
"Arghh!"
She locked her stance and forced the savages against the tree wall, they kept resisting, but she finally managed to make them step back as she lifted one and threw it in the air with all her strength.
while she attacked the other two in the legs, and once they stumbled, she pushed them into the water and kept them there until they drowned.
On the other hand, Rika had just stabbed one of these ghouls with a wooden stick as she was holding another's neck and choking it.
As she looked around, she noticed that the majority of the people were being completely overhung by these creatures, with only a few train passengers being able to even injure the creatures.
as most young ones were behind the lines throwing whatever they could get their hands on, including rocks and sticks.
It was good that they had blocked one way if it meant that not even the young ones would be attacked.
As she saw many injured people, she instantly jolted into action. She counted at least 30 of them, and many more were coming from the entrances connected to the cave. They were crossing the burning wall of fire. Despite the injuries they sustained on the way to the fire, they didn't really seem affected by it.
"This is going to be a long night."
"'Behind you.'"
o.O.o
Drake watched silently as his soon-to-be perfect killing machines fought against the savages, he narrowed his eyes as he expected all three—Mika, Rika, and Clara—to give their best performance as they pushed multiple of them into the flames or killed them.
While they were able to kill a few, they also sustained injuries, so it was good that he had told all three of them not to use their full power as it's about the team.
He had been watching this small force for a while, and few of them were hesitant to deliver the killing blow; some of them had been deeply traumatised by the death of their parents or other loved ones, and they would never have been able to fight to kill except now.
Under him, they are turning into fine weapons. They didn't seem to be bothered about the moral value and were pushing these ruthless savages to their deaths without remorse; even if some of them thought of them as mindless brutes, it was still a big leap in their morality, and it impressed him.
Because, let's not forget, the majority of them are children; if they could do that now and sleep peacefully without guilt, that's all he wants in his soldiers, because people like Hound Sandor Clegan aren't immune to guilt, and I can't have people like them in.
"Good, they are improving." Drake nodded in acceptance.
His eyes moved away from the soldiers and landed on the savages. They were once a foolish group of people who came here as spies trying to occupy my secrets in this city. He planned to finish them for good, but it was his mother who suggested turning them into prisoners and leaving them in the pit to stare.
Yes, it was her, so he used them as taste dummies for creating the lowest level Vampire without giving his blood, and they turned into this; they are not even vampires or even ghouls, they're lesser ghouls like zombies. And with time, they have turned into a group of cannibals.
"I suppose you wanted to test their capabilities?" He turned back to Brus, who was watching them fight against the ghouls with a smile on his face.
"Well, I didn't expect them to find the cave this soon, I thought it would take at least an hour." "By how much planning they did," Brus said without hesitation, and he looked at him in doubt. "Did I push them earlier than you intended, master?"
Drake stayed quiet for a moment before answering. "No."
"I would have been disappointed if they couldn't handle this," Drake mentioned with pride.
"But they would break." "At least some of them," Brus quipped. "Eventually they all do."
Drake's mouth slowly curled up into a petite smile, and his brows were raised high, his eyes following along their figures with interest.
"Time will tell."
[Six Days later]
"Urghh."
She grumbled in annoyance as she choked the air out of the barbaric lungs with a bear hold from behind.
"Fuck. "Keep your eyes on your target, Brein, for fuckshakes."
She cursed as the wolf slashed her back and red blood poured out of her new flesh wounds.
As the other wolf wheezed in for oxygen and thrashed around trying to escape from her hold but she held the grip stronger and finally knocked it out.
She let go of the unconscious body of the wolf and kicked it down the tree, and as she saw the stick in his stomach, she stabbed him before I
"Huff! Huff! huff!" She stared at its rolling figure till it finally collided with the tree with a thud, She waited for it to rise, but it was done for good. She looked around trying to spot any more of them but found none standing.
as most of the animals were either bleeding to death or knocked out. The same could be said for her group, as a few of them had life threatening injuries; if they do not do something, they will be dead soon.
Some even lost their eyes, hands, or legs—most of them just like she was bleeding out—from the fresh wounds that were inflicted by the wolves or from the old wounds that were just opened up.
Few of them were out cold. And three young boys even died in her group.
She felt the strength in her legs vanish, and she knelt down as her knees gave in, she fell to the ground and crawled her way towards the tree. She pushed herself against the wall and rested.
But the next second, she heard the howling sounds, and she instantly jumped into action, as did the whole group.
"OK, guys, move forward; we don't have time to rest because wolves will be here soon if they smell blood."
"Yes, let's move forward because we can't risk fighting because I don't think I have anything left in me,"
"And I'm sure I don't want to die here." "Especially when we are so close to our destination."
"Ok, pick the injured ones and move."
Hearing all this, all of them sigh as they all get up, even though they want to rest. They know they can't, as they are sure the wolves will be here soon, and this time their deaths are certain.
They picked up the newly injured and unconscious and placed them on the carpet they had created by hand using the roots, leaves, and branches of trees.
as six young ones hardly started to pull them. Surrounded by all the people who could walk and fight
As they were all gritting their teeth and clenching their fists, they all slowly moved forward. Even though their bodies wanted to give up, their will to live made them move forward. pushing their limits, ignoring the pain that jolts all over their bodies every step of the way.
[Time skip.]
"Group 7 has returned. Welcome back" A stern voice came from the darkness that was everywhere.
A man stepped out of the shadow, his cane thumping on the ground each time he took a step forward.
"Looks like your search for the home is finally over." He halted his steps a few metres before me, and all the men in black bowed to him.
"Finally," she groaned, followed by the rest of her group; even the unconscious were once roused simply by hearing the voice.
The peace and tiredness finally caught up to them. If they were right, which they are, they would have been fighting and walking in this place for 18 hours straight, against 126 enemies, including young bears and lions, Not to brag, but that's definitely some kind of record in the books.
"You all have impressed me." Some blinked, and some had wide eyes as they heard that voice, it belonged to the one that had pushed them into this mess.
They looked up and saw the dark clouds disappearing from the sky and the sun shining on them. One thing is that they were the last ones to come here.
They all closed their eyes as they adjusted to the darkness after six days in it they didn't wanted to get blinded from so much light.
"Not many have overcome the trials and still have strength left to move, while all your bodies are ready to give up, your mind is still pushing you forward." They knew it was their lord as he stood before them with his red eyes locked into theirs.
"You all have bested yourselves, little ones." Lord Drake said, to a small round of applause. "You need to rest now."
"We are fine," they grumbled, biting their inner cheeks.
"Don't be stubborn about your limits."
"I am truly anticipating our talk once you wake up." His lips slowly curled up into a fatherly smile.
"Wake up?" Some asked; some narrowed their eyes at his words, but before they received a reply, they sensed an attack coming from my right side.
It was a simple knife hand chop that they couldn't hope to deflect or dodge even if they were able to move their bodies, but they couldn't feel anything below their necks. They had no idea how they had made it through this hell.
The men were precise with their aim; they gave a sharp blow to the neck area just above the shoulder blades. Some didn't even need the blow, as their minds and bodies just gave up.
Their legs gave out, and the corners of their eyes began to get foggy. as their eyes closed.
"Rest well, little ones." Those were the last words they heard before they drowned in the darkness.
Drake shook his head and stepped forward. "Pick them up, help them to the healing chamber, and after they are completely healed, send them to their rooms." "Let them rest for at least twelve hours straight. If they wake up in between, give them the food I have written, then put them to sleep again, and remember to use the healing chamber at full power."
"Yes master"
As they began to lift them onto their shoulders, the man replied. like a bunch of rice bags, they also picked the body parts that were separated from their bodies; there were only a few, as most parts were either left behind or chewed by animals.
o.O.o
Well, it has gone better than I thought, as all the spies are taken care of. And with the turning, they learned to trust, learn to follow orders, and build good relationships with many more things.
And with the Healing chamber, they will be slightly better than before. That is why I built the place in five days. It's just a simple healing spell in AOE mode. It's like a sauna room where you just have to sit and let the spell do the work. The most important aspect is that it does not heal but rather accelerates the body's healing process to meta-levels. That's why you need lots of food for energy.
But because the food here is of top quality, it wasn't much.
And I built that because of how the human body works. how the human body naturally heals and becomes stronger. After you work out, your body repairs or replaces damaged muscle fibres through a cellular process where it fuses muscle fibres together to form new muscle protein strands, or myofibrils. These repaired myofibrils increase in thickness and number to create muscle hypertrophy (growth). Now imagine that in every part of your body, not just muscles but bones, blood cells, and organs.
It's like a natural steroid just without the side effects, and it doesn't stimulate muscle tissue to grow and "bulk up," as they just become hunks of mussels without any power behind it.
And at maximum power, it can regrow limbs, reattach the old separated limbs, and create new organs if it's not the brain. A dead person will still be dead inside the chamber.
After that conversation with everyone congregating on their success, I spent the next year training with and training his guards and the young pages. After the recruitment, I first got rid of the spies, especially those sent by the Lannisters and the master of whispers. after grabbing a few spies, he told his father about the situation. My father immediately ordered that they all be killed in front of everyone in Storm's End.
