Irestion
“I bet he's back by now,” Irestion walked up to the door, which he suspected was the nobles' home, since it's the same one where that whole scene went down. He knocked twice on the door after a couple of minutes, a lady who looked about twice the age of Irestion opened the door.
“How may I help you” she replied, her voice was rough and tired. “Is Sir Bradford here?” “Yes, he just arrived. Do you have a meeting with him?” the old lady questioned. “Not officially, but I come with a message from Rosalia. I'm a messenger for his older brother, pretending to be a merchant.” Irestion then handed her the card. “Oh Wow okay, sir, I will inform him right away.”
The old lady then closed the door. After about fifteen minutes, she opened the door all the way. “Charles Bradford is upstairs waiting for you.” Irestion smiled at the old lady, then walked in and took no time to look at the place he just entered. Instead, he walked straight up the stairs and then walked through the only door. After closing the door, he turned around and got on one knee.
“Sir bradford its nice to see you're in good health.” Ireston's voice tone turned cold, and he looked only at the ground. “So you're a messenger from my older brother. Go ahead, tell me what he has to say.” Charles' voice is even more annoying than before. “They want you to come back to Rosalia to help lead the house of bradford”
“Stand messenger.” Irestion listened standing up and looking at Charles. His features were clearer now, his brown hair and pale skin, his clothes looked clean, rich, and tidy, truly a noble. “Why is this messenger?"
“Your older brother, Lance Bradford’s sickness has gotten worse he is in critical condition. Your father, Anderson Bradford, has demanded that you come home to take over your brother's responsibilities.”
Looking surprised, Charles started to smile, “Well, how unfortunate daddy dearest’s favorite son is gonna be gone.” Charles stood and went to the bookcase to the right of the room, moved a couple of books, and pulled out a tiny chest. He opened it up and smiled a devious smile. “Messenger, how skilled are you in killing?”
“Very,” Irestion replied,
“good, good.” Charles smile not have left his face.
“There is a church, but not 20m from here, go to it and kill
everysingle soul alive everyhead you bring me, I'll give you 2 gold coins.” ‘not a bad deal’ “Yes, Sir,” Irestion said, his voice stone cold,
“I'll have it done tonight.” “Even better,” Charles replied. “Come again,” The old lady said with a smile. “Absolutely,” time to head back. “Salson,” Irestion said,
walking back to his tent salson already waiting there. “Yes, Lord Irestion.” “It's time get ready, make sure all the troops are prepared.” “Yes, Sir.” “Where is Ento?” Irestion said, looking around,
“He is in your tent, sir.” “Perfect.” Irestion walked into his tent. Ento was sitting on the chest, polishing Irestion's sword, a daily duty of his. After seeing Irestion He hopped off of the chest. “Ento, I'm giving you a very important task. Do you think you can handle a challenge?” Ento looked nervous, “Y-Yes, Lord Irestion.” Ento then bowed, his hands extended with Irestion's sword laid out,
“You are going to infiltrate the Guard’s jailhouse and find someone named Kroven. He has black hair and stands at about five nine. Once you find him, you will bring him to the church. I will meet you there,” He grabbed the sword out of Ento’s hands. The sword was the most valuable thing in his possession, given to him by his first real friend, the person who taught him that strength isn't what gives them value
“Lord, if I may ask, what do you need this boy for?” “He’s interested me,” Irestion then walked out of the tent and walked towards the troops who looked like raging beasts. “I need 20 strong warriors who aren't afraid to lose a couple of limbs to come with me to take down true disciples of Karoth.” Twenty men then slowly started stepping forward, and eventually, twenty men stood in front of him. None looked unique, but any man who walks behind someone like Irestion was dangerous enough
“Alright, the rest of you will be led by Salson once I give the signal. Well, let's be honest, you sorry sack of shits no better than anyone, how to raid a village.”
Irestion smiled then raised his sword. “Who's ready to taste some serious booze and have some fun with some women tonight” shouts and cheers came from every direction
“alright lets go,” Irestion then led twenty people to the gate, not including him and Ento, all having a few items in hand, looking
very casule‘the sun had just set, but that won't be a problem. “Hey, young man, I need passage for me and my fellow associates here. Charles should have left a note.”
“ofcourse sir,” the young man then had the gates opened ‘good charles told them to let me back in without any questions’ after the gate opened, Irestion then turned around and nodded, activating his lathium, he shot forward, grabbing the guard in front of him and breaking his neck instantly. He pulled out his sword and used his lathium to jump forward. He leaped like a velvurge
Reaching one of the guards holding the gate open, he swung his sword down. It became a blur, slicing the man open from head to toe “not so fast,” the other guard shot a ball of fire at Irestion. Dodging it easily, he activated his sword, making
it surge with his fire affinity he dashed forward once again slicing both his arms off like butter and stabbing him right through his head making it start to melt Irestion looked down in disgust “I hate when that happens” He looked behind him the rest of his men walking through “Ento the Jailhouse should be passed those clearing of buildings get going” “Yes Sir”
Ento then disappeared. Irestion raised his hand and shot 2 balls of fire, both exploding instantly, then 5 seconds later, shot another. “There's the signal.” Irestion exclaimed, “Let's get going.” he then turned and started to walk East in the direction of Charles. After just a few steps, guards rounded the corner fully armored, spears, swords, and lathium all ready. ‘Couldn't make it easy, could you?’ The guards all started to run towards Irestion, lathium-enhancing them. “Get ready to kill,” Irestion shouted
He Jumped at the closest guard shooting a ball of fire water collided making a cloud of steam but it did not matter it was quickly gone with a gush of wind Irestions swords shot forward the guard tried to block it but Irestions was red hot it sliced straight through it and then shot straight back up slicing through the guards neck blood spewed out spraying Irestion face as he turned another ran at him but was quickly impaled by a spear
“DIE,” stupid bastard one of the barbaric-looking men yelled. Irestion looked around. More guards were coming, but he could hear shouts in the distance, and so could the guards. Irestion seeing an opening shot into an alley
“Time to go hunt another bradford” Using all his lathium to inchance him, he jumped on one of the nearest roofs and started to jump one to another after quite a few houses he spotted the boarded window “Here I come bradford” Irestion started to laugh he ran and jumped towards the window smashing through the planks and rolled on to the floor and jumped straight up
“MESSENGER,” Bradford said, “WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?” “I'm here to take your head,” Irestion said, his sword inchanced with his affinity starting to surge, “But please don't make it easy.” Irestion started to laugh. “But you're my brother's messenger, no one knows of his condition but the bradfords” Charles turned around and grabbed a nice, clean sword off the wall mount
“Unless I was the one who poisoned him” Charles Swords surged green and his hands begun to shake “But that would mean that you are Irestion the Despair of Hope the empire claimed to have you in chains awaiting death so how are you standing infront of me”
“I guess we will never know” Irestion planted his sword into the ground and all of the lathium shot out of it blowing up the entire secound floor “Ugh dammit” Charles said, blowing all the burnt wood off of him with wind before he could react Irestions sword swung straigh down on him instead blocking he shot straight
into straight into him smashing them both into the wall Irestion dropped his sword charles jumped back but not fully out of Irestions reach his fist came straight into charles face pushing him back and a straight kick to the chest smashing him to the wall Irestion then leaned down grabbing his sword
“Time to end this,” Irestrion muttered, Charles coughing blood rose to his feet
“You bastard, I will not die to someone so inferior.” Charles shot forward Swirls of green wind wrapping around his limbs
A kick came right for Irestion's head, a mere blur in most eyes, but Irestion caught his foot and threw him to the stone wall. “Pathetic, that's it thats all the second son of Bradford can do,” Irestion taunted. He walked up to charles whos leg was twisted in many ways, and blood was flowing out of his mouth, so he was unable to speak
“Your brother would be disappointed,” he ran his sword into Charles' chest and let his affinity travel through his sword into Charles' body. His entire body erupted into flames and slowly started to melt
He then took his sword out of Charles's chest and walked over to the door, pushing away most of the debri he opened the door and walked out onto the street. Eighteen troops were standing out in the street, looking almost as good as when we left
“Now we head to the church,” Irestion lifted his sword, still surging red hot, he shot off 2 more balls of fire, giving off the signal to Salson that Charles was dead
The men shouted in exciment ready to raid the church. “These are true disciples of karoth dont let your guard down im sure they will be stronger than the puny guards we just faced.” Irestion then turned heading in the direction of the church
