A taste of war

On their way to meet Carlton, Tyson told nemu and Barron the war had already begun, the city of kritia had become a living nightmare nowhere was safe and everyone was on their guard and has he comes to attend to them on the wishes of Carlton, they are currently under attack and they must hurry to aid of the people because the have not much time to spare.

The dark cult were already making their presence felt with the aid of the witches it was a never ending torment and battle for the city. The hidden keys joined forces with the army of kritia doing all they can to push their forces back but it was too much for them to handle and Carlton had already lost too much men waiting on the arrival of a miracle,waiting on the moment the tides will turn in their favor if only nemu was here he said holding up in hope that they will hold the forces at bay until reinforcements arrives.

It was a dark heavy night for all, the night was cold and windy and the dark cult planned a surprise attack at the base of the hidden keys knowing full well if they take it down they will be crippled and it will affect the moral of everyone fighting against them. The witches lunched the first surprise attack at their base with an onslaught killing whoever they came in contact with it was not long before the dark cult made their presence felt with an overwhelming force to wipe everyone out, raiki the leader of the commander in charge of the attack on the city of kritia screamed kill em all, no prisoners no mercy kill em all for the glory of balam for the glory of king nerious.

It was a bloody night with many death Carlton was cornered and with no one to rescue him he planned to fight till death. Raiki walked to him and said make a wise decision, I will give you the grace to join us and feed us with strategic thinking of the keys, work for us as a spy and aid king nerious in taking over the world and you shall be greatly rewarded with whatever you heart desire. Carlton denied their proposal and fought to his dying breath, raiki and his men overpowered him and raiki asked him any last words, Carlton had non to offered and as he was about to be beheaded an explosion hit the scene disbanding everyone in different directions, when raiki finally regain himself on his feet with his men, he saw a huge glow of light behind Carlton and asked who was there, and the person answered it is I nemu elder of the hidden keys, fear arouse in all their hearts the witches knew of him and what great terror he rained on them in the past. Nemu shouted go to the aid of orders and stabilize the city, kill anyone who wears the emblem of the evil king.

The tide finally turned in their favor and everyone was fighting for their lives, while the fight continued Michael came across his first foe and he was underestimated by both his peers and enemy, Barron and his men were outstanding and continued to clear out the army while Michael was stuck with Lola and hazim, Tyson on the other hand was on his own trying to save people and heal their wounds. Lola was displaying her strength and hazim was also overconfident calling out the dark cult so someone appeared to them a very strong wizard experienced in battle saying to Lola and hazim, you dear to challenge me, hazim laughed and nodded at Lola so the began the fight with him. It was like two elephants fighting everywhere was chaotic meanwhile Michael continued fighting and neutralizing all their forces, the wizard got the edge over Lola and hazim piercing Lola straight throw her lungs, she immediately fell and dropped her sword, hazim was afraid after seeing this and realized he has bitten more than he could chew so he scream for help hoping someone will come to their aid. The wizard got close to him, rose his sword up to stab hazim, Michael can with a dashing speed and chopped his left hand off. The wizard screamed retreating in pain, he gathered himself together and fought Michael to the brim with the training he got from his power angel he utilized everything and waited for the right moment to use his finishing blow the broken arrow. The wizard was cunning and powerful using different kinds of incantations and spells but Michael continued to counter every of it and evade them, hazim was shocked looking at what was infront of his eyes, he couldn’t believe how strong Michael was, hazim ran to Lola and tried all he could to keep her alive while Michael fought against the wizard. Sooner Michael set a trap of the wizard with him taking the bait he attacked Michael and cut him on the back thinking he was injured only for Michael to use flash speed once again and used his finishing blow the broken arrow killing the wizard.

Michael came to hazim and asked him to take Lola leave for the herbalist immediately but before the could get going nemu, Barron and few other warriors arrived, Michael was exhausted and fainted he had used so much of his power defeating a foe far stronger the he his. Nemu asked hazim what happened here and he explained everything to him, looking at the other end he saw a powerful wizard laying dead on the floor and Barron asked him did you kill the wizard and hazim replied him saying no it was Michael who did. Nemu was overjoyed but kept his joy to himself knowing full well that Michael will rise to become not only a great fighter but a great leader too one day so they gathered the rest of whoever was alive and head back to the base to meet the herbalist to heal them all.

Raiki had escaped with his men during the confrontation with nemu and was furious that one of his lieutenants a powerful wizard was taken down and killed by a boy so he sent a spy into the city to gather information about the strength of the reinforcements sent over to aid the hidden keys.

During this period of time it has been two days gone and Michael still hasn’t woken due to over exhaustion of his ability and power, it was the first time for him to use the broken arrow together with the flash speed in a real battle this time was different from a training with is power angel so it took a heavy toll on him. Lola was healed by the herbalist and Tyson was there with hazim to talk with Lola on how things went, when hazim filled her in, she was shocked and surprised Michael took down a powerful wizard and felt really bad inside about her own abilities, she wanted to become stronger.

Nemu’s hands where filled, he was on a constant confrontation with the evading witches doing his best to push them back, weaken their force, kill as many as he can and driving them out the city. It was on a morrow of the fourth day Michael awoke and was still weak, the news was delivered to nemu and he sent a message to the herbalist to only let Michael out when he is fully recovered. The city continued to war with the dark cult and battles were never ending both day and night attacks on the hidden keys continued.

After two weeks Michael had fully recovered and with the help of the herbalist concussions which he took on a daily basis to help him gain back his strength, he trained with angel in secret and when it was time to return back to base the herbalist has new cloths made for him one befitting a warrior like him.Michael took the cloths and wore it he was very happy because he had never had such nice materials before so he thanked the herbalist and took his leave.

When he reached the summary room, everyone was sitted and nemu was giving out instructions with Carlton, he stopped and took a look at Michael has he walked in. The aura around him was different he looked ready for war ready for another round of killing. Lola looked at Michael and fell in love with him. He looked so different with his new cloths and new haircut, at that very moment something struck her heart and she was willing to do whatever it took her to gain Michael’s attention.
