Chereads / Beneath the Broken Heavens / Chapter 10 - The division of light.

Chapter 10 - The division of light.

Getting up with a yawn I stretched my muscles, The light of the Dawn shining brightly through the window. 

It had been a week already. With the help of the healers my body has recovered almost naturally, with no scars at that.

Looking at the mirror in my Hospital room i put on my Black coat over the White shirt and black pants clutching my sword at the side putting the sheathed Eryndralis on my belt.

"Now then lets get out of here, thank god i only had to spend a week here ." I said looking back at Heewon who is leaning against the wall waiting for me to finish up.

"Of course. I was kind of anxious id have to command 1000 men alone onto the battlefield if you didn't recover in time." She said with a smirk , as we walked out of the hospital room.

Finally with a push i opened the door, exiting the hospital. Putting my hand over my eyes in an effort to shade my eyes from the sun i look at my surroundings.

As usual the typical Arcelous. Nothing much has changed. The city streets are busy as we walk to the military base.

"Can't say i didn't miss this atmosphere. Though i was hoping I'd see at least some groundwork for new architecture, seriously these building have been here for ages now we really need some new designs." 

I said looking around me at the buildings that has been standing since a century ago. Or atleast the style and the architect are the the same.

"New architecture? Who has the time for that? We're too busy with those fucking gods hot on our asses ya know?"

Heewon said. She was correct, we don't know when the gods will attack, neither do we know how many of them will attack us.

"Of course but most people in this shitty city don't fight anyways. What do they do other than cower in fear and hide behind the walls?"

A surprised yet understanding look appeared on her face as she thought for a moment before replying with

"Well some of them fix the barrier there's that. Some of them are scientists they invent and test new weapons or barriers. And the otherd are mostly farmers providing the people in this city with food."

She does have a point but…

"Come on now Heewon we both know its not as black and white as that. The homeless still exist as well as the capitalist. You make them sound like such a fucking good people though you know humans in this shit hole are worse than the gods we fight out there."

I said not able to hide the venom in my voice, I seriously hated the people in Arcelous, even if gods are fighting to kill us out there the humans in these walls still couldn't at the very least get alone and not hurt each other, on some days the Forsaken legion feels like we're some kind of law enforcers rather than warriors fighting gods.

Heewon stopped in her tracks before walking again as she said

"…perhaps you're right. But… that's what makes us human right? Demons are naturally evil, gods can't stand the thought of inferior kind that they made having powers similliar to theirs, neither parties are like humans, some of humans are as kind as the angels in Eden, some are more vile than demons in the demon realm, that diversity is what makes us humans."

She made a good point that I couldn't argue.

"Eden on earth my ass. Those days are long gone. Now its just filled with the underground fuckers doing whatever the fuck they want thriving off of peoples fear of gods as well as their misery and grief." 

I said as i pushed the heavy door into the Forsaken legions property, a large area in the middle of Arcelous with walls.

We finally make it to the military base, letting the door scan system scan our rings we get into the Sheltered base of the

"Forsaken Legion. How long has it been. 2 months but pretend like we have been out for longer"

I tried to crack a joke but Heewon seemed a bit saddened by my comment earlier. No wonder after all I just talked shit about the city her role model found.

"YOU PIECE OF SHIT! IM TELLING YOU I SAW IT HIT THE CORNER YOU JUST PULLED THE BALL INTO THE HOLE!"

A man around 18 suddenly shouted directing attention towards himself.

Looking at the overly energetic dude I instantly recognized him, in fact everyone in Forsaken Legion would.

orange messy hair 5'8 with lean to skinny build wearing a white, red coat with the Forsaken legions Loga on the front of right chest of his. I can also see the sheathed daggers on his back. While they're not his forbidden knowledge he's still really proficient with the daggers.

I kept watching the shouting man now for sure recognizing him as the 1st divisions first vice Capitan

Ralvuk Krythos.

"Ah shut up Ralvuk..if you're gonna lose at least lose with some pride.."

A man sitting on the couch next to the pool table said with a teasing smirk.

The man looked to be about 6'0 with dark long hair and green eyes the arrogant man sitting there in the same uniform as Ralvuk is

Daxian Vallor who talks like he's a royalty though he's not, in fact not even the royals talk like that. The second vice Capitan of the 1st division.

I could see the katana resting on the couch besides him. Pink handle white sheathe yellow guard. The katana its self has a white base with pink patters on it. The legendary katana. Yunokaze. Dating back to the first generation of forbidden knowledge users. The weapon was made by one of the first generation. They say weather it be a god or a titanium it can cut through it like a butter.

There they stood the 2 vice Capitans of the 1st division.
