Charles's pov:
___ The warriors of cloud river city began to throw large stones and explosives at the people of fallen star city. Loud screams of agony can be heard from all over the place. Then fallen star warriors carried a big log and used it to break through the gate of cloud river. They rushed in and killed everyone they came across and cloud river warriors did the same. Darius watched as the war go on. He didn't kill any body , he just knock out anyone that tried to attack him. He knocked out a man that attacked him when, he heard someobe screaming near him, he looked and saw a child stabbing a man in his eyes. He was about to approach them when he felt someone swayed his axe at him, but he was quick to dodge, " geez he almost beheaded you" his armour laughed, Darius knocked out the man infront him and turned to approach the child , and found that he had been beheaded. Darius froze in his spot. He came back to his senses when his armour move his body to dodge an attack. " Are you crazy, you are seriously getting emotional in a war?" The armour shouted at him. " Isn't there any way to stop this madness?" He asked while looking around , watching people killing each other mercilessly, even children were not spared. " Do you have any idea, Darius?" ,The armour chuckled, " there is nothing that can be done. Right now they are fighting for their lives and home, so of course they'll have to put effort into it. This is a war and there is no such thing as mercy in war". Then Darius noticed that strange clouds of light leaves the bodies those that died, and they all heading the same direction. There are also dark spirits flying in the sky sucking them up. Darius: What's going on. Armour: have you forgotten, the purpose of the war is to gather souls. So all of the souls of the dead will leave their bodies and all gather into the soul orbes. Darius: what are soul orbes?" While fighting. Armour: soul orbes are used to gather souls. Once they are activated, all the lost souls around the vicinity they are, will gather into them. Darius: what are those black things sucking them up. Armour: oh, those are just dark spirits, who came out to enjoy free food. This is just the beginning, soul sucking demons will come out to have their own share too". Darius ran to a roof top , to see where all the souls were heading. They were all heading to the tower. Darius watched in awe, " lt seems that where the soul orbes are" said the armour. Darius went to hide in a place where he can't be seen and stayed there until the war ended. The war lasted for five hours. That was because the chief priest blew the horn after five hours, signaling all combats should stop. Dead bodies filled cloud river city. All the remaining survivors of fallen star city all went home. Some carried the bodies of their loved ones with them, while some didn't, they were too drained to do so. Everyone was drained, mentally, physically and emotionally. After witnessing this , Darius swore that he will Barcus no matter what it takes___. That should be all for now. I updated the chapter and went to bed. " Are you done" said Jack , " yeah, l'm done, let's go to sleep". And with that we told each other good night and slept peacefully.
I woke up and couldn't find Jack beside me. Maybe he left already. I stood up up to take my bath, and then the bathroom door opened, he came out with a towel tied around his waist. " You are awake," he said once he got out . "I thought you had left already" l said, " l wanted to say good bye before l leave". I see, l got into the bathroom to take my bath. When l got out l found him typing on his phone. " Hey" , he looked up. "Thanks for coming over , l really appreciate it man" , he smiled " do you really appreciate me not letting you write till the wee hours ". I laughed , indeed I didn't like that but l won't say it. After dressing up he left for work.He didn't have breakfast before he left. In any case, l can't lose that guy, no matter how annoying he is.
