Chapter 83: Leaving It In Flames–3

In a valley, surrounded by hills and vast forestland was a village in flames— Tilon.

*AHHHHHH!

"Push, Miss Anna! Push!!"

*BANG!

The doors in the room slid open as two figures in black with one having purple stripes, while the other had pink stepped into the room.

"Anna?!" They both said in unison. "Father’s dead yet you dare to be in labour!"

"Misses, I’d beg you to please ex—"

*WHAM!

"Know your place, woman. I’m the chief’s daughter!" Elena yelled at her, having slapped the poor old midwife.

"Well, the chief is dead." A voice came from behind, one quite familiar.

"Huh?" The other turned first, Helena being her name though they weren’t twins but siblings instead.

"You! How dare you!" She raised her hands to go in for a slap as her sister had also done earlier.

*SHING!

The sound of a blade being drawn was all that was heard until—

*THUD!

Helena, with her eyes widening up, saw her hand drop down before her.

*AHHHHHHH!!

Blood splattering everywhere, she screamed like an 18 year old kid, though a bit louder— maybe a whole lot instead.

"You–you–you chopped her hand off...you chopped it off." Elena was moving in an unfavourable direction, hitting the wall with just two steps back as the shock overwhelmed her.

"Chopped, that’s some good wording."

Just then, like a flick had lighted up a candle, her confidence was suddenly restored.

"I– I’ll tell Lord Tham, and— and he’ll frickin kill you!!"

"No, I’ll be frickin killing you instead."

"Uh?...no, stop...no, no, nooo."

"Heh, sorry about that please. Make sure she delivers safely while i clean this up— okay."

"Ye—yes, Madam."

"Light it up boys!!"

"Yes, Sir!"

Mounted on the beast with two figures by his side was none other than Tham Fern. To his left was his trusty slave and to the other side, the Guildmaster of the Thorn Guild.

Getting the seal was the plan, but assuming the position as Guildmaster was not an option. He definitely didn’t want it, as controlling the leader was much more fun than being one after all.

Guilds wouldn’t easily bow to anyone who holds the command seal, and as there was no time to spare to build trust. Thus, someone among themselves had to be selected and so a random guy was chosen.

Well, who was this new Guildmaster? A tough, strong or maybe wise figure among the others? No, it was an idiot who kept on yip yapping about the fact that his friend hadn’t believed him, when he said he’d become the Guildmaster. Whoever was that, Tham cared less about although this new guy’s first order was to have this so called friend hanged— friends, hah.

Watching as the village was brought down to it’s knees, the sun was almost set with the night taking over.

*GALLOP!

*GALLOP!

The space around Rumel’s fingers began to distort, her ears twitching as she focused on the approaching horse.

"Lord Tham!" A voice called out from behind, causing him to turn and look back.

"Yeeeehaw!"

The rider brought his horse to a halt, making to get off it, his breath heavy as he got a breather for a minute inorder to speak.

"It’s Lady Anna, she’s in la—"

*GROWL!

Before the rider had blinked, he was seeing a beast jumping right on top of him.

"Rumel, make all needed preparations!" He ordered, dashing off into the night.

"Yes, Master." She mumbled, her attention on the burning village before her when suddenly movement was heard. It came from beside her and there was one person beside her.

*CLUCK!

*CLUCK!

He slowly drew his horse closer to hers.

"Ahem, I’m Gorden. I believe we could get to—"

"Don’t even dare to think about it." The words instantly medusafied him, a terrifying aura within it.

’Dare to think???’ He was barely thinking at this point, as his brain even feared what could come next.

"Was, was it good to have killed them? Master– Master seemed to like them, right?"

"Who cares, he wouldn’t kill us. We’ll be much more useful than them. High Slaves aren’t easy to come by and I’ve bagged a ticket there, you two would be there too. That’s if you stop being a chicken and help me clean up this already.

"We could say it was to protect the Lady Anna, right?"

"No telling lies."

"Mmhm, i don’t wanna be telling lies too."

"Ugh, it’s not really one though. Something simple, you won’t get it anyways— hmph."

*GROWL!

*THUD!

"Eek!!" All three shot off from the ground and almost out of their armless gowns.

"Oh, it’s the three of you." A masculine voice was heard, as the rider of the massive beast descended and approached.

"Master." They got on their knees and bowed, their faces down and hidden.

"Get up, now what are you three up to around here." He casually asked, being in a hurry himself as that was why he’d taken the gardens to shorten his entry to the residence.

"Well, Master..."

"Ummm, we— we eek..."

"Actually, we are helping her bury Lady Elena and Helena."

*CRACK!

That was how the words had hit his brain, cracking and crashing it. ’Elena...Helena?!’

"Who, who killed her?! Which one of you did that." Tham growled at them, their bodies trembling all of a sudden.

’No, telling lies right? No, telling lies right?’ They could barely stand on their feet, their insides chaotic. "It was, it was, it was her."

"You, Shul— it was you, Shul!"

’Shul? Ma–ma— master gave me a name! My–my name is, Shul.’ A tear fell from her eye, as the next thing she head was a sharp metallic sound. The world turned upsidedown for her, now seeing her master from down to top before everything went dark.

Death had been administered. Whipping the blade to get the blood off it, he sheathed up the saber back in it’s scabbard.

"Efi and Dalki, clean up the mess and join me upstairs." Tham ordered, walking away as they replied in unison.

"Yes Master." They both then turned to look at each other.

"You’re Dalki, and I’m Efi."

"No, you’re Dalki and I’m Efi."

"Isn’t that what I just said?"

"Eh, really? Oh, hahaha i guess so."

"Mmhm, uwu."

"Let’s hurry up with the cleaning up already."

"Mmhm, wish I got Shul instead."

"Me too!"
