Adela was shocked and silent, I grabbed her arm and dragged her outside the house, gave her a sword and told her to fight. I think she didn't even heard what I said, she was too shocked to fight or even speak. So, I took her to a safe shed, I guess she will be safe there, atleast for the time being...

After getting Adela to safety I rushed to the southern gate, where the invaders had breached our defences. I didn't even thought of taking any orders from the captain and recklessly sped to the gate, I wasn't even on the front lines and yet I could hear the screams of women and children from a distance.

The screams got louder and louder as I got closer to the southern gate. Childeren laying on the street crying, soldiers and civilians dead on the ground, women begging to let their children live, this is what I saw when I reached the 'battlefield'. And then I realised, this is what war looks like... My knees fell to the ground, I couldn't control them, tears bursted through my eyes as I recalled the horrors of that tragedy...

[Orakh Gilbert's memories]

"So, we are finally heading out on our first 'real mission'...Orakh, aren't you afraid?"

"Eh? I'm not a coward like you! Besides I don't give a damn about our mission, all I wanna do is spend some alone time with..."

"Hey you jerk! I'm frightened here and all you can think about is that bitch... What was her name again uh... Adlea!"

"First of all, your breath stinks! Second, her name is Adela! A-D-E-L-A, got it? Third, I was talking about spending time with...my friends, you know"

"Oh friends...yeah, I guess we can call the two of us friends.

"Huh?! 'the two of us' you sound sus my dude!"

"Do I? Hehe!"

"Aaaaah! Don't come so close to my face like that, I'm not gay or anything you know, hey! Being your bestfriend, I can atleast find you a handsome boyfriend! Hehe!"

"Oi! Shut the hell up! I'm not gay dude...It's just that you look...kinda hot right now..."

"Hey! Stay away! There is no way I'm sleeping in this room!

"I was just teasing you dude!"

[Orakh Gilbert's POV]

After Kenril acted like that, there was no way I could have slept there, but I think I should have. It was his...[hiccup] last night...

Kenril was my bestfriend. And my first friend too. He was the only person who reached out to me...ugh if only I somehow knew that night was gonna be his last, I would've atleast spent some more time with him. No! It's my fault, if only I had reached to help him in time, all this wouldn't have happened.

Ugh! It doesn't matter now, what's done is done. I can't afford to waste time thinking about the dead. I have to protect the only friend I have now.

I somehow managed to get rid of the thoughts plaguing my mind and forced my knees to get up. I picked up my axe and threw it at an enemy soldier.

"I will massacre you all!" I screamed, almost bursting my throat.

I sped to the soldier I had threw my axe at and pulled it out of his neck, blood dripping from it, small peices of his meat stuck to it. As I wiped my axe with my cloths, two soldiers wearing filthy greyish-black cloths and steel helmets, one holding a longsword and the other an axe way bigger than my own, dashed towards me...

[Kuhan's POV]

Ugh! I didn't expect him to lose control like this, especially just after seeing some pathetic weeklings dead.

He is slaughtering all of them like cattle. "Oi! What if I pluck your eyeballs out, gonna hurt right? I wonder how much?... You won't mind if I find it out, right?" Orakh whispered in an almost devilish tone, yet loud enough for me to hear.

"N- No! Pl- please!! I beg you...forgive me! Pl... please!" The soldier screamed, terrified, his body was shaking so much that it disrupted his voice.

"Aww, and here I thought we were having fun. Too bad...won't you let me have a little more fun?"

[Adela Osric's POV]

W- what has happened to Orakh, he is literally tearing their bodies apart... Alive!

The look in his eyes reminds me of that day, his eyes turned blood red, as if they are portraying his rage, and a devilish smile as if he is the devil himself.

As I was witnessing Orakh's 'rage' from a distance, a horde of enemies swarmed the street, killing everyone in their way.

I can't just stand here weeping, well... no point in retrieving dad's body. Guess I'll just have to get to Orakh.

[Kuhan's POV]

"I know you are there, Kuhan. Get your ass here already."

"Didn't expect you to find me so soon. How did you get this better in just half a day? Orakh."
