Orakh mercilessly massacred every single one of those pathetic scums, even going as far as plucking their eyeballs out. I'm not exactly sure why...but is it because of that?...
Standing on a dead body, his axe in it's skull, he glared at the house I was spectating the 'massacre' from. "I know you're there, Kuhan. Get your ass here already." He said as if he is the boss of me...ugh that brat, he is growing up fast.
I jumped down the roof of the house and 'praised' Orakh a little. "Didn't expect you to find me so soon, how did you get this good in just half a day?"
"Well... I'm not sure how-" His face turned pale, blood bursted through his eyes and mouth, and he fell to the ground as if he had lost his pathetic life...ugh I can't let the brat die.
[Orakh Gilbert's POV]
Ugh! It hurts... Am I in hell? Is th- this place paradise? Who knows, maybe God had mercy on me and let me in. I'm just fourteen after all.
Uh! Wha- what is this? Is that me and Kenril?! But how?! We have already died. Wha- wait! Am I seeing the past somehow?!
"Hey!! Orakh there you are- huh?! Orakh!! I'm talking to you dude?! Hey! Are you possessed or something?!"
"Kenril!...can't you see I'm doing something extremely important..."
"Would you please go through the trouble of elaborating to me a little about what the hell you are doing?!!"
"Listen, this is between you and me, got it?"
"Yeah yeah got it."
"I can't- f...find my umdhewar..."
"Can't find your what?!
"Mmm- my underwear!!!!"
"Eh so what's the big deal about it? It's just an underwear you know!"
"Well you see th- that is the only one I have...hehehe-"
"Huh?!!! What? Do you mean you aren't wearing one right now?!"
"I never have for as long as I remember...but I thought what if a jinn or an animal attacked us in the forest and gets hold of my cloths, I should be wearing something to atleast hide my special place you know."
"You are as clumsy as ever! Well I have no choice but to help you, afterall if you get naked on the battlefield- yucks!! It's so awful to even think about!"
Huh? What's wrong with me, thinking about underwears at a time like this... Oh! It's that goddamn day! Why am I recalling that right now?!
The day we headed out..."So, is everyone here?" I remember seeing captain smile for the first time, his disciples were about to head out for their first 'real mission' after all.
We were planning to ambush an Ushad trib's outpost, though a relatively small tribe but a bitter rival of Serona.
"First of all, before we head out, we are going to recapitulate what I have thought you about jinns and how NOT to get yourself killed." Captain gathered all the recruits and lectured us all, one last time.
Although I'm definitely not a fan of studying and stuff but that lecture was important as heck! Well...or so did I thought... And I saw captain smile for the first time, so getting lectured in exchange for that was no big deal.
"Jinns are just like you and me. They can talk, eat, get married, have kids, they can hate and even love. So, consider all this when fighting them." At that time I realised that captain may be cold and cocky at times, but deep down he is a kind-hearted person.
"Um- Okay let's start at the beginning... Billions of years ago God created jinns from smokeless yet blazing fire... They live much longer than humans-"
"Captain~ We already know this crap! aren't you gonna teach us something new like how to one shot an extremely powerful jinn just like you do?~" A girl amongst the recruits interrupted the captain and asked.
"Let me finish! So where was I?? Yeah- Jinns live longer than humans an- and~ and... Wait! What else should I teach you guys?!" I can't believe captain has a humorous side too. But it's kinda weird and definitely not funny!
After our short but boring lesson, we headed out to that hell of a place, Adela, Kenril, captain, I And alot of other recruits I don't know the name of because...well, I never once had even a basic conversation with them...
As we reached the the outpost captain sent Adela and I, 'the most talented warriors from the group' to scout the enemy positions. We finally got some alone time...but- things didn't go out quite as well as we had hoped.
As I crept through the forest towards the outpost... I saw was a total monstrosity! A gigantic 'Marid' looking at us, it's head over a tall pine tree, it's dark shadow covering the entire area...
As he gradually stood up, We saw how terrifying of a monsterosity it was. A blue body, and a tied beard so long that it almost touched the ground. It's eyebrows clearly stated that it wasn't in a very good mood. An evil smile on it's face. We couldn't see his legs though, because of some sort of blue fog covering them.
The fog spread all over the area, I couldn't see a thing. I called out for Adela but I didn't got any response. Captain and the rest were pretty far behind but I guess they could see this monsterosity or atleast the huge cloud of this goddamn blue fog. All I could do was hope that they do and come here to help.
This giant monsterosity appeared to be a marid, atype of jinn that are considered one of the most powerful but lack intelligence therefore are easy to manipulate by the 'Shaitan' (The devil) or even humans for that matter. It is said that Shaitan's huge army consists of mainly these marids, they are very obedient to their masters... So I figured that this one must be obeying his master two, and I guess his master is someone from the Ushad tribe...
As I was putting all the pressure in the world on my 'brilliant mind' to think of a way to escape with my team, the marid spawned a double sided axe roughly the size of a 'chinar' (a huge tree) out of thin air...
And swept through the forest clearing dozens of trees. Before I knew it, I was about to get chopped into peices.
I dashed and dogdede the axe but my leg got a real bad wound...phew! Atleast it didn't get chopped off completely... I dropped to the ground and hurt my head from a fallen tree.
Uh man! I still remember, that hurt real bad!... I was not totally in my senses but I could hear someone walking towards me... Ushad soldiers!
As Adela and the rest of the team also got to the outpost, a full army of Ushads suddenly appeared on top of a hill, behind our team. We were surrounded!
Beings made from smokeless fire roam the world. They bear unimaginable powers,
from killing someone to causing a marriage to end, they can do it all. Humans have found a way to utilise this power by trading their souls, body parts or even their own families in exchange for a favour from the jinn, not all can fulfill a jinns demands for a favour.
