I was disappointed by the way and manner Kieran treated me like some spoil from war, it didn’t even seem like he knew before, well he doesn’t anyway. He seemed so strange and distant but the way he fought, it was quite scary. He moved with grace and precision and he knew just when to move for the kill. This man is no commoner, he is hiding quite a lot of things behind that unreadable mask he calls a face. The silly witch found my scar and pride; how she knew where it should be still amazes me. She is quite knowledgeable in so many things and she carried some power too with the way she killed those fvcking animals. I wanted to do something much worse to them after what they did to me, oh, if only that arrogant hunter had released me sooner. He did anyway, albeit too late. Why do I think he has feelings for the witch, well, what do I care? He can have all kinds of feelings for her; I am for the king and him alone.

I went ahead of them after the embarrassment of getting myself captured, which will never happen again. I rode along the path for a while before diverting into the woods where I waited patiently for the hunter and his witch to pass. It took them quite some time but they finally did. They were quite fast as they were probably trying to make up for lost time. I followed as quickly as I could, although, I later reduced my distance so that I wouldn’t be discovered again. Instead of going through the road that leads to the Northern gate, they took the deserted path, which was the route to a place no sane person visits – the forgotten lands. Could it mean that she is probably a guardian? And if so what do they want with him? My answers had to wait as I sensed the gift of someone quite powerful. Someone with immense abilities was heading towards Kieran and his witch. I reduced my pace and they did the same too, the witch must have felt the gift too. She came and Kieran did the same, they talked for a while before she bent and picked some amount of sand. She must have asked him to stretch his arms because he thrust them towards her after she stood upright. She started murmuring some words after which I sensed his glorious gift. The witch locked his powers to protect him and prevent other dangerous people from tailing them. Well, it didn’t stop whoever was heading towards this direction as I am quite certain that’s what made her release his gift again. But can this unlearned man be of any use when it comes to the use of magic, I guess I will have to wait and see.

They mounted their horses and went off to face whosoever was heading towards them. I picked up pace but later changed my mind and tied my horse to a tree before running as fast as I could. I was weak and hungry after what those animals did to me but I knew that if I allow another person take Kieran, I might never get to eat again. I ran but later slowed down when I saw Kieran’s horse from afar. They had stopped and I couldn’t tell the reason, I moved slowly and quietly to see who wanted them. I was close to seeing the fellow when I heard someone whisper something. I stopped moving and stayed behind a tree. I slowly turned to find four men in strategic positions. They were on their toes and their eyes were fixed on what was going on the path. Their attires were that of the soldiers of the northern kingdom which shocked me. Why would the king of that empty land come after a nobody like Kieran. The soldiers must been laying siege and waiting for a signal from someone before pouncing on Kieran. I couldn’t allow that to happen, so I brought out my knives and threw both at two of the men. It struck the back of their heads and they went down immediately. The other turned to see their comrades on the floor and came immediately for me when they saw I was the attacker.

I pulled out another knife strapped to my trousers and charged towards them too. The first one swung and missed. He wanted my head while the other thrust out his sword and it nearly hit me. I stopped the first one who had recovered from his first miss by holding the arm that held his sword before pushing my knife into his heart. Before I could pull out my knife, the second gave me a vicious kick to my abdomen which brought me to the ground. I held my stomach in pains which brought a smile to the brute. He decided to walk slowly towards me which was a grave mistake by him. I pretended to be rolling in pains but carefully pulled out my last knife. He kept his legs between my body and wanted to impaled me to the ground with his sword but just as he raised his sword I got up quickly and drove my knife to his fvcking c.ock. The animal couldn’t even scream as his words got lost in his throat. The sword fell from his hands and fell to the ground together with him. I struggled to my feet and finished him off by running the knife across his throat. I felt dirty after what I just did but I didn’t get to clean up as I heard a whistle and then hurried footsteps filled the air. I decided to take a look and saw about four men who were not there earlier. I smiled as I was confident of walking them to the underworld but I failed to check my surroundings before showing myself. If I did, I could have waited for their commander to order them to find out the reason why the rest didn’t answer the call of his whistle, which would have afforded me the opportunity of killing them.

I failed to do that and when their commander who was an old skinny man ordered the remaining four by his side to attack me, I knew it was over. I tried but I couldn’t do much as the number was against me and I was already weak from the last fight. I was swiftly apprehended and brought to my knees. I expected the silly witch to do her neck snapping trick again but she didn’t. She just stared at the wizard and I wondered what was wrong with her. The man remained on his horse and so did Kieran. The old man later came down and he was full of confidence, he turned his right hand to a fist and murmured some words which I later got to know bound the dumb witch to her horse. She was useless without even throwing a spell, what a witch!
I was really mad at her display of immaturity in the face of trouble, she was supposed to protect Kieran and even me who had no gift has done a far better job. The old man walked slowly towards Kieran who had come down from his horse. When he was some steps before him, he smiled and then opened the palms of his hand, stretching them out. Immediately he did that, Kieran fell to the ground, screaming from some form of pain. He was in deep agony as he would hold his head now and then move his hands to his stomach, then to his knees. I tried to get up but I was given a punch to my neck which shut me up. The man smiled after what he has done to Kieran and then he said,

“You will tell me how you killed my brother.”

I bowed my head in shame as it dawned on me that I had failed my master for the first time.

Harrison can’t be dead, how could that have happened? He is the most resourceful man I have ever known and one of the intelligent I have been privileged to meet. How can such a simple task bring him to his end; capturing a man with an old woman by his side should be one of his simplest missions till his death. I am certain the man didn’t make use of his gift because I haven’t felt it for days now, so the story must be that an old woman bested the legendary Harrison together with the nine man with him, how humorous. What a way to end an adventure!

I and Harrison grew up together, we were practically brothers, and we fought and played together even though I was the older one with two full seasons. That difference in age never got between us, it only brought us closer. He was too smart for his age, and that was the trait that attracted me to him. We were ten and twelve of age respectively when we discovered our gifts. He was a wizard but with the unique ability to feel the gift and light in humans. He has since been able to use that ability to harness gifts from children for those who could afford his services. I got this powerful because of him but the blood of countless little kids was on him and when he lost his own family to some grieved customer, he stopped his famous trade and decided to start tracking instead. He was able to find whoever he so desires with his ability and not one has proved too difficult to find, not even the evil king, Nero.

If the most elusive person to find in history didn’t prove to be a difficult task for him, why then is this simple man so difficult to get? I must be careful myself and I must keep a clear mind devoid of vengeance, else I could go the same way he did. When the trackers were ready, I ordered them to head north as I intended to meet this strange man upfront and cut off any escape route for him. I have done every command from the present king, even killing his father after he discovered his heir was ungifted. I helped him in killing his siblings who were gifted as I understood from the prophecy that a man of immense power will rise and conquer all of the lands. The man was supposed to be my king but when we heard of Lucien, we all thought he was the prophecy brought to life but he hasn’t shown any glimpse of such power. This is why that power of his should be given to my king as that might just be the spell to unlock his own powers. We can’t be certain yet as that traitorous Nero destroyed every record of the spells he agreed to create and used the spell on his son. Well, the spirits have shown favor towards for once and decided to give us what we deserve by releasing a man better in power to Lucien. All I need to do is get him and make my King the prophecy in the flesh. Power must return to the north.

We were on the path to the deserted route when I felt someone with the gift heading towards our direction. The king was right after all, they were headed this way. I told my men to lay siege by going into the woods and wait for my signal to surround the man after I must have stopped him. They nodded and disappeared into the wood while I stopped my horse and waited for the man. But as soon as the gift I sensed got closer, it’s powers became bigger and stronger and then it dawned on me that the man must have released his gift again, but why? Did he sense me from a far or probably the woman did. Anyway, I need not fear as I am certain that he is quite the novice when it comes to using magic. He won’t be a problem.

I saw two horses heading towards my direction and but the occupants looked quite different from what I have been told the past few days. The man on the horse had quite the look and surely would have given me a run for my money when I was still younger. His long hair which he allowed to fall around him and his neat outfit doesn’t tell of a man whho is on the run. The woman beside him was far from an old woman and mere looking at her made my c.ock stir. She was elegant and carried herself with grace. They looked like a couple but their gift gave them away, particularly that of the man. The sorceress had a unique gift too, she could read prophecies. Well, well, well…. It’s been quite some time since I have met anyone with such ability, what a consolation this will be for me as I had terrible things planned for her. I knew for certain she killed my brother and I will make sure she suffers for it.

“What does the great wizard want with us?” the woman asked. I didn’t answer but instead whistled for my men to come out and surround them. When I did, only the men from the right side of the path came out, none came out from the left side. In their place was a woman dressed in torn gown, she had blood all over face and body. She must have killed my men there, how can a woman best four trained men in battle? They had help when they met with Harrison but who is this woman?

The remaining men went after her and the ones with me too, leaving just me with the young couple. The woman fought well, but she couldn’t best eight men at once, she was soon apprehended and brought to her knees. She didn’t look scared though and neither did the man but the sorceress was afraid. After the whole spectacle of blood and gore, I came down from my horse and reacted quicker to the sorceress by casting a spell that binds her to horse, leaving me with the man with no idea on how to use his gift. I smiled as I walked towards him as reality was starting to dawn on him as he suddenly realized how helpless he was. Is this the simple task that got Harrison killed? Surely, I expected more from them.

The Forgotten Lands
**************************
Lucien
**************************

Three nights have passed and they have seen me pulling down heavy volumes of books, trying to find out how I was created. I got bored of waiting for reports from those I asked to watch Elphisisus. The reports have all been disappointing and I must admit that I am quite shocked at the level the old wizard has stooped to just to be my better. Why would he dig up the rotten bodies of Kieran’s family and then cut them, hoping to find out the reason why he was just like me. His parents were not born with the gift and the only one of his family that had the gift apart from him was killed by me. His daughter had an unusual gift of sorcery, she could actually write prophecies. I was so glad when I found out but since I took her gift from her, killing her as I took it, I have been able unable to use it. I have quite a number of prophecies that have been difficult to interpret as the gift of prophecy has been really difficult to find. I learnt that no one has been born with any form of such for the last three generations. To have found one in the middle of the woods, waiting for me to get it was nothing short of favor from the spirits but I have been unable to use it.

I have been unable to know why I can’t use the gift but then, I have been engrossed in far more important things. My father was a pure wizard, which means that there was no gift specification for him, he could use all varieties of the gift except of course, writing prophecies. His kinds were extremely rare and they have always come from the royal family, no common man has ever been born with such a gift, the reason for that is still unknown. My father was the last pure wizard, there hasn’t been another. My father was feared and respected by all, not just because of his powers but because of his intelligence and his ability to conjure spells that could break ancient holds as strong as the one found in the ungifted. Everyone had the expectation that I would surpass him in every way but I have fell short of doing that despite the fact that I possessed both sides of the gift, a luxury my father didn’t have. Every one of his spells are nowhere to be found which made me conclude that they are probably hidden somewhere, to prevent the wrong hands from getting it. He couldn’t have passed through so much to do the impossible and then destroyed his achievements, it doesn’t make any sense. I am most certainly missing something.

My mother was just an ordinary sorceress, which explains why that side of my gift is on the low compared to my wizard side, that’s if my parent’s gift has anything to do with my powers. If that is the case, then the spell is correct as i have the full abilities of a wizard and a little bit of sorcery. I am not a pure wizard though because I was also born with the gift of sorcery, which adds up to what I am. Kieran’s case is quite different as both his parents were ungifted and since their powers were locked, it’s impossible for him to have any gift, much less both sides of it. I am certain his parents were not the first ungifted to get married and birth children, why is his case different? There is something out of the ordinary that I cannot seem to explain with the man. I have been told that he is headed for the forgotten lands and it is quite a puzzle why the guardians would travel such distance to come get him from here. He must be very important to those old witches who have refused to die, but the question is why and I might not be able to know the answer to that question because Nyasa won’t be allowed into the city as she is ungifted and therefore has no business there. No magic from the outside works there which makes me doubt if writing through the travel book will work, that’s if Nyasa finds a way in. I must find another way; I guess it’s time for me to allow her give herself fully to the man if that will give her a way into the city. I must know what they want with him, before it’s too late for me to change anything.

******************************************
Elphisisus
******************************************

I slumped to a chair and tried to get some rest as I have been on my feet for so long, I have lost count of time. I have tried every spell I know on the bodies to try and find out how Kieran Carrows got his powers but I have only arrived at dead ends. His parents were ungifted and his wife was a plain human. His daughter on the other hand had the gift of sorcery but that was taken away from her by the King. We know that she got her gift from her father but where did his come from? I felt his gift during our last encounter and his was stronger than Lucien’s despite the number of gifts he has harnessed from people. His wizard side was similar to that of Nero, Lucien’s father but there was something about his gift I couldn’t bring myself to explain. His gift seemed too unnatural, no one should be born with everything in him, something or someone powerful was involved and I must find out what or whom they are.

*****************************************
UNKNOWN
******************************************

“What is it , Melfisius?” I asked the old wizard who still looked shocked after he was told something.
“……..Harrison has been killed, I can’t sense his gift anymore.” He replied me with a few tears dropping from his eyes.

“ I told you to go in the place of that fool, who is so full of himself, now he is dead and we still don’t the man.” I was very angry but I didn’t want to show it, I had to be calm.

“When did you know of this and where was the place you tracked him to?” “He was just outside the town of Aydridrill when he died.”

“Good, there is still time. Get some men and head towards that town using the deserted path; you might be able to find something. Do not return without the man, I have waited too long for such an opening to pass me by.”

He nodded and got a grip of himself before calling out to my best trackers. I knew it was a risk sending my men but I had become desperate, the man was proving too difficult to capture. It won’t be long now, as no one has ever been able to escape Merfisius before, not even the pure wizard, Nero.

Post from my son.

King Solomon I love yourmethod. Each character is giving their own part of the story. It's so detailed.
But Harrison featured like a flash. Suggest you have included the scene where merifisius met him just to gave him a longer span.

Happy birthday slimsue!

CLAUDIA
**************************

I was shocked to see the cursed flames return to its creator as soon as it got too close to the woman. It was one of the most amazing things come to life apart from the other similar things I have been privileged to read. This must be the reason behind Kieran’s strange decision to hold on to me when I sought to help his wh0re, but it’s very clear now that this woman was no ordinary woman, much less a wh0re. She must be his protector or something like that which is probably why he has refused to say much about her. He let me go after the threat which was the big wizard had disappeared into nothing after his own flames returned to destroy him. I ran towards the woman and instead of cutting her free, I was more interested in who she was. I tried to feel her gift by looking directly into her eyes but there was nothing to feel because she had no gift. I was taken aback by that because if such powerful magic as found in the cursed flames could be wrestled from its creator and controlled by her, she should have some portions of both sides of the gift which isn’t too difficult to get.

In her case, there was nothing like that, she was empty just like every other human who was ungifted. I looked towards Kieran who didn’t deem it fit to come close to the woman now that I was between them. I decided to put one of my theories to use as Anna never told me of any protector looking after Kieran, else his wife and child would still be in the world of the living. I grabbed hold of her hair rather forcefully as I was getting to one of those uncontrollable outbursts of mine. I hated secrets but puzzles drives me mad, I checked for any sign of ownership burnt to her scalp as that was the manner the rich in the south claimed property. I tossed her hair here and there until I found it; a tiny black horse which was burnt to the right side of her side of her head, a symbol of the house of the mad king.

The discovery made me lose the little control I had and I didn’t know when I threatened the man I should bring home without harm. He didn’t answer my questions but decided at that moment to go after one of the men he didn’t kill. That action of his only increased my rage which made me wave my right hand, taking him off his feet. He landed and hit his back on a tree, fear overcame my rage as I thought I had broken his back with the way he hit the tree. My fears didn’t come to pass this time when I saw him move and then after some murmurs, he got to his feet. He was clearly angry at what I did because I could see the wild look in his blue eyes when he walked over to me.

“Anna will surely hear of this and I will surely return the favor when its time, never forget as I always fulfill my promises.” He said that and moved over to the man who was still cursing us all this time in his language. He ignored the woman who was signaling for us to set her free and started questioning the man.

“Who are you and why did you want me?” the man smiled and then spat at Kieran which didn’t help his situation. Kieran was still angry at what I just did to him and he poured his rage on the man. He took hold of the man’s second knee and stepped on it. He repeated the same thing until the knee broke to tiny pieces. He repeated the same questions after the inhumane thing he just carried out but the man was stubborn and still refused to talk. Kieran picked up a sword from the floor and ran the man through. He got up and went towards the woman after pulling the sword out of the man, I could see the fear in the woman’s eyes but I knew Kieran won’t hurt her. He cut the ropes used in tying her up and then walked away from her.

“I thought I was cold, well it seems you don’t have a heart. You watched your sorceress treat me like shitt and then when you finally remember I was still alive, you set me free and walk away from me. I blame myself for this, well, it won’t happen again. I should never have gotten myself into bed with an unlearned, wild, untamed animal as yourself.” She said that and then walked into the cabin to probably change her clothes but not before giving me a dangerous look. She will most likely get back to me just as Kieran said he would.

Kieran kept staring into the woods and he stayed that way till the woman came out with a dress a little too big for her but she didn’t seem to mind. She got on one of the horses and rode through the path that went through the back of the house. She spat at the Kieran’s feet before leaving, the action didn’t move him at all and when she was out of sight, he looked away from the woods and went into the cabin. He didn’t even look towards my direction, I thought of apologizing for my reckless behavior but thought otherwise as it wasn’t my fault. He was keeping too many secrets and if those men had captured us because of his inability to control his urges, it would have been a different story all together. I waited for sometime before going into the cabin too, I found him searching through the things of the men, looking for something that could tell us something about them. He searched everything but he couldn’t find anything meaningful. He left the cabin and started opening the clothes of the dead men, checking their skin and hairs hoping to find something but surprisingly, these men were clean. No cuts or drawings were found on them which were quite unusual; he slumped to the ground out of frustration.

I kept quiet all through his search, I tried helping him once but he forcefully took the bag I was looking through from me which meant he was still angry. He stood up after sitting on the ground for a while and went towards one of the horses. He mounted it and waited a signal that I should get on it. I mounted the horse too and he rode through the same path the woman followed. He stopped when he got to our horse and asked me to come down. He spoke this time which made me happy. I mounted mine and started riding slowly along with him, smiling as I remembered when he vowed that he was surely getting another horse; he does keep to his promises. We rode at a slow pace for quite some time and I wondered why he was doing so.

“The woman is no wh0re, she is a gordond and they are only loyal to the mad king. If she wanted me, she would have gotten me a long time ago and must have killed you to get to me. I wasn’t certain until a while ago, she has been asked to tail us, so for now she is not a threat. I don’t have any feelings for her, so stop worrying about that. She is still alive because she is not a threat, the moment she becomes one, I will kill her myself.” He said suddenly. I knew she was working for the mad king but a gordond, I honestly didn’t know that. This explains why Kieran didn’t want me to meet her as I could have used magic against her and end up hurting or even killing myself. He had his reasons but then he should have told me something, what was that when he said I should stop worrying about who he fvcks, I honestly don’t care.

“Don’t flatter yourself too much, I don’t care who you put your c.ock into.” He smiled after I said that and then picked up pace. Why does he think I am lying, I really don’t care or do I? I asked myself as I hit my horse to go faster.
