CHAPTER 2 CONTINUED

**************************
ANNA
*************************

We were running out of time and Kieran wasn’t helping himself by dwelling on the death of his family. Claudia has since been on her way but she is two days behind , so the only way she can reach Kieran on time is if she passes through dreaded territory. She has to pass through the land where Elphisuis’s magic is binding, any other tweaked magic that doesn’t have his signature will surely get his attention and it’s no news that such people are never usually found after. Therefore, if Claudia is to be successful in doing the impossible, I must have to help her which will surely blow our cover but the worth will be greater. I had a plan which will help take away Kieran’s attention away from his family and make him focus on one those mysterious encounters he once had And for that to happen, he has to be unconscious. The spell I am about to carry out is a very dangerous one and can be fatal if someone beyond my powers finds out, someone like Elphisius or even Lucien. I summoned the guardians next in rank to me in power and told them about my plans, they were against it but they saw too that there was no other way. We each lit a candle representing our spirits, after which I stood in the middle with my candle on a pavement. I started chanting the words required for the spell and soon the other guardians followed suit. Soon, I saw the guardians from a far as my body fell to the floor. They continued chanting as a single pause could mean my end. I needed them to break through Elphisius’s hold. As much as I hate to admit, it seems he is getting more and more powerful by the day. I floated away from our little town into dreaded territory and it wasn’t long before I found both Claudia and Kieran. Claudia must have been able to find a way through the magic, I smiled and continued towards the location of Kieran.

I found him making his bed as he set to sleep, his eyes were swollen from crying and his knuckles were bleeding. He must have been pouring his grief on something else apart from wine. Soon, he fell asleep and just as I was about to enter into his mind, I felt the chilly presence of Elphisius. Dear spirits, he was close, really close to finding Kieran and of course he must have sensed me. Quickly, I moved into Kieran’s mind and I didn’t have to work hard as he was dreaming of how he met his wife. I followed him all the way and just as his dead wife was about to reveal herself, I imposed myself and made him see Claudia instead. That did it and made him wake up as somehow, Claudia was already at his door.

I couldn’t be happier but my happiness was cut short as I soon discovered that putting him in such fear awoken his gift again and its beaconing were worse than before as his gift and his spirit were at war. His gift seeks to protect him but as unbeliever, the will wasn’t there. Oh, this is bad as this war will surely bring Elphisuis sooner and I will be useless in protecting Claudia and him from that snake. Either way, I have to return as my candle was burning really fast because of Elphisuis. If it goes off and I am not back in my body, then my present condition will remain eternal.

**********************************************


CLAUDIA

********************************************** “heyah” I screamed repeatedly to my beautiful horse as I tried to make-up for lost time but that wasn’t the only thing on my mind too, I was thinking really hard on how I was going to evade that evil Elphisius’s spell. I have been thinking of this since I left our little town but I haven’t still gotten any idea. Soon, I was at the border and the only thing I could do was lock up my gift. It was the only way but it would mean I wouln’t be unable to protect myself and should Kieran move away from where he is presently, I would be unable to locate him without letting Elphisius know of my presence. I disguise myself as an old woman coming from the midlands for the purpose of trading. The soldiers didn’t waste much time attending to me as they had their eyes on the fair, young woman , most of whom were with their husbands. That didn’t seem to matter to the arrogant soldiers as they let their hands roam through the flesh of the woman and unfortunately, their husbands were powerless to help them. I have heard stories about how brutal and unhuman these soldiers are but seeing it firsthand was quite the experience. I got out of there as quickly as I could and followed the trail that lead to Kieran’s inn. I rode till the Sun went below the horizon arriving at a horribly built building with dirty doors and mean looking men trolling around. I passed through the famous Yugurd city which was known for its beauty and immorality before going through a bushy path that led to the inn as it was at the outskirts of town. Which wasn’t a surprise as no sane human would want to visit such a dirty place .



I tied my horse to a tree just outside the inn and since I looked like an old woman, no one looked my way. I got into the inn and it was if I wasn’t even there. I headed straight for the bar where I was greatly surprised to see a woman answering orders for drinks.

“Evening lass, I am sorry but have you seen a young man, blue eyes and a mane. He is tall too and isn’t the talking type.” I asked.


“You must be referring to that strange man who was busy punching the walls and ruining what’s left of my building. He is busy sleeping now in his room after he had duly paid for his destructive activities. What is he to you anyway?” She asked in her raspy voice that must have been due to drowning in wine over the years.

“Oh, he is my nephew and I am here to take him back home, do help by showing me his room.” She did after looking at me suspiciously. I wasn’t even close to his room yet when I heard running and shouting and the sound of swords leaving their sheath. Dear spirits, he has been found and I cannot protect him. Quickly, I knocked on his door screaming,
"Open the door, your life is in great Danger. "

Santi222:
Nice story OP, but I made some important observations.... When you write a story within a particular era, be careful with your choice of words so that they blend in naturally with the time period..... This makes your writing more realistic and natural.
In your first post, " tonight was "gonna" be a good night.."
The word gonna didn't exist in the era of bows and arrows....

Your second update had words like "mom" "dad" and " stuff" in it.... Those words are modern words.....

Hope you get my drift.... And make the corrections

Now carry on!!!

... Thanks, I will correct them...

CHAPTER ! ! **************************
RUNNING
**********************
KIERAN
*****************

I watched in admiration as she turned and turned, twisting her waist at the same time, how she does that is still a mystery to me. Putting on the traditional costume meant for this festival - the Randin, this strange woman danced to the beats from the relentless drummers. The costume was made up of cotton which made it light and in their case, it was sewn to be quite firm around their waist, bringing out the wearer's hips to view. In this case, this particular woman's hips were quite different , in the sense that it wasn't too big or too small - it was balanced and it suited her thick body really well. For once in a long while, I felt a stir in my c.ock when the thick dancer came close to me and started moving her big buttocks around it. The men around the circle shouted and clapped when they saw this and I wondered why. Anyway, after twisting and turning for a while, she returned back to the center circle where she was dancing with her fellow dancers. She must have gotten tired of dancing to a statue who didn't return the favor and who didn't drop a penny. I had no intentions of dropping my hard earned gold just because a certain thick lady could dance. I was booed and laughed at though after she left me to the circle and that made me to leave the scene and return back to my cabin.

As I settled down to eat burnt meat after getting home, I couldn't help but wonder why those drunkards were laughing at me. Then it occurred to me that my c.ock must have been trying to get out of my trousers. Dear spirits, I whispered as I slapped my forehead laughing at my own embarrassment. The lady must have really had a strong effect on me for me to even have a stir. Shame though, I may never meet here because she was wearing a mask as they all do. I only moved into this town about a season ago and I only go into the main town whenever I want to sell my games. I have no friends and I loved it that way, just me and my bow. I didn't want to attend the festival earlier because I didn't believe in all these beliefs of spirits, magic and all those nonsense. I believe in Life and death, which affects all living things and I, myself take life whenever I killed any animal. I have stayed in four different cities scattered all over the huge Kingdom .In all this time, I have never been attracted to any woman even if I do get questionable looks from them. I have never felt my cock stir, only at night does it happen. Well, until that strange dancer.

For more than four nights, I couldn't stop dreaming about her, it just feels strange dreaming about someone without a face. I thought of searching for her but that would be pointless as there were so many people in the town. On the seventh night of hell, I dceided to go the exact place where we met earlier hoping she would come. I stood there till when everywhere became quiet and still she hadn't come. Probably, she has come and I didn't recognise, my hope was that she would come to me but it wasn't looking that way. I headed back home , disappointed and angry because this night would surely be another torment. I was nearly home when I heard a snap.I wasn't alone in this woods, I stopped and listened hard for another strange sound but I heard nothing. It could be a thief and I was at a disadvantage as I was without a weapon. I decided to run back home to get something to use to defend myself should the need arise but I stopped in my tracks when I saw a figure at my door step. It was that of a woman. I recovered and walked slowly towards the woman, but then it occured to me that she must have heard me coming. She was probably here to see me, but I couldn't be sure. As I got closer, I heard her say,

" You are not a hard man to find,Kieran Carrows. You should be more aware of your surroundings. " She turned and I was able to see her face as the moon was full tonight. I staggered back and shook my head, no, no, this isn't the woman I met at the dance. She isn't this tall and big and besides she had raven black haired and not red hair.

" Who are you? " I managed to ask. Immediately, I woke up to discover I was actually in a inn and someone was at my door,screaming,

"Open the door, your life is in great danger." Dear spirits, what's going on?

WRITTEN BY SOLOMON ******************************************************** CHAPTER 1 CONTUINED ******************************************************* ELPHISUIS ************************************************** The massive kingdom Lucien has emassed for himself is proof of his sovereign power over all his enemies. He has conquered cities,villages, brought powerful kings to their knees, before giving permission to his soldiers to rape the wives and daughters of those unfortunate rulers. He is the most ruthless king I have ever been graced to see, and far more visious than his father who was evil in the flesh. He is skilled in all physical combat and has since become a household name when it comes to Magic. Being born with both dimensions of Magic has made him invincible as no one has ever been graced with both gifts. That unique property has made his name only spoken as a whisper, but it seems he isn't that unique afterall as someone has the same gifts as he is, something that shouldn't be. Can this chariot go any faster?
" Welcome Father, the king is in his chambers." I heard Heris say, the head of his personal bodyguard. I went through his huge hallway before turning to the right and turned towrads the left , before opening the door that I came in contact with. I practically walked through the magical barriers in the hallway because without being in close proximity with the King. Any other person who attempts that without the aid of the king will end up vaporized. I am not harmed because I set up the barriers myself. I entered his room to find naked women on his bed, they weren't moving. He must have killed them while in one of those fits of his, I will have to be careful with him before he turns on me.
"You must have sensed the anomaly,isn't it?" He asked me while facing the window in his deep resonant voice. I didn't answer, I knew better. " How is it that we didn't know until early this night, how could something so glaring miss your all-seeing eyes? You can see the tiny little rabbit in the far corner of the midlands right now, you can sense the faintest use of magic from as far as the forgotten lands, you can see the gifts of an unborn, yet you couldn't see an anomaly as glaring as this!!!" He screamed the last sentence in a fit of rage before releasing a bolt of lightening in my direction which I easily thwarted.
" You have to calm down and let's think this through." I said.
"....There is no us here, this is squarely on you. You have to find a way to fix this and quickly. I have so many enemies and I shudder at the thought of what they might to do to me if they find the man before you do. If they harness those powers from him, we are all dead men." Lucien said, cutting me off. Well, he is right, I didn't think of it from that perspective. " What are you waiting for? The simpleton is not doing us or himself any favors by letting his emotions loose." The king screamed.
Well, he wouldn't have been in such grief if you didn't murder his entire family. I said that within me as I walked away to go that freak.

ELPHISIUS
________________________________________________
How is this possible? No, no , this can't be happening, One golden destiny is enough but two in one generation is surely an anomaly All of my years as a Wizard, I have never seen anyone born with both dimensions of the gift - sorcery and wizardry until Lucien. He was what every wizard and sorcerer strived to be. We have a way of making ourselves more powerful by putting in us what we weren't created with using despicable means.
Lucien's gifts weren't balanced when he was born. His gifts were more on the wizard side than his sorcery side and since when he discovered this, he has gone through dark paths to balance the scale, killing and harvesting souls of those born with of sorcery . He might have gone a bit too far this time as his latest victims belongs to someone exactly like him, which doesn't make any sense. If someone like Lucien was alive all these years, how come I didn't to know until now,except if his gifts were locked for reasons unknown to me. I must see Lucien quickly. ***************************************
ANNA
*****************************************

No, this wasn't how it was supposed to go. How did Lucien find his family in the first place? His family was cloaked by me, how was Lucien able to by-pass my barrier. This is really worrisome , he must be getting more and more powerful. He must have been after Kieran's daugther since she has the gift of sorcery which she got from her father. Thank the spirits Kieran wasn't around when this happened, it could had been much worse.
" Mother, what is it? What is so important that you had to summon us at this time of the night." Claudia asked as she came into my chambers together with the remaining guardians.
" You have to find him, you have to find the one with the broken soul quickly before that evil king finds him."
" I thought his gift was locked and only a chosen supernatural occurence that only you could bring to pass could release his gift. " Dahlia asked.
" I released his gift but I didn't see that Lucien would murder his family over his persistence pursuit of power. I know I had his family cloaked and somehow he was able to find them,which means......" " .....He must have sensed Kieran's gift by now as he is currently in grief." Claudia completed my statement for me.
" Yes, he is not in control right now and his changing emotions will act like a beacon announcing his gifts to the world, something the king won't miss. We have to get to him as soon as possible. We are already at a disadvantage as he is in the other side of the kingdom , far away from here. Claudia, you will go after him and bring him here where he can be protected from Lucien."
" But why me, I am not good at field work. I am just a historian, please can't you send......" ".....There is no time for all this, get your stuff and move. I will communicate with you as you travel. In the mean time, I will keep Kieran busy." I just hope it's not too late.

CHAPTER 1 CONTINUED
KIERAN
" .........Ethan!! alright, that's enough shooting lessons for the day. Kieran, dinner is ready." Mother said. " But Mother , we have only just begun, besides you have been stopping me from doing any of this for the past few weeks. Please ,just an hour more, please." I pleaded with her , putting on my best good look. " No, drop that bow and get to the dining before your meal gets cold." Mother replied.
I reluntantly dropped the bow and went inside. Obviously, my plan didn't work and Father couldn't even help, just stood smiling at his wife . I washed my hands and face before sitting to eat, failure to do that usually get me some glaring from mother .

" What did you learn from today's practice?" she asked. Mother can be really annoying some times, I mean she stops me from going on with practice today and now she is asking what i learnt. I actually didn't want to answer but i knew better. Shey hated hunting , which my father does because it takes too much of his time and doesn't give room for him to be home much. She hated it so much and several times she has spoken to my father about it ,who will calmly tell her he won't change and mom will keep coming back with the same demands and the whole cycle begins again.

" I learnt how to pull the bow and how to place the arrow at the right place along the string. I haven't learnt how to release the arrow yet." I finally replied. Mother was actually happy with what i said and then asked me to tell Father about the new names of plants i learnt today. He listened attentively to all the names i pronunced , correcting me in places I erred.When I was done, Mother gave me another plate of food while Father ruffled my hair. I knew she would be very happy after what i just did. She has always wanted me to be a healer just like her but that wasn't what i wanted. I felt drawn to the woodlands but not because of the plants there but something else i can't just explain yet.
Father didn't seem his usual self tonight , he was very quiet and he looked sad. Well, I didn't have any chance to ask him what was his problem as mum kissed me and walked me to my room , after which she returned to be with her husband. " I have been enlisted to join the King's army as a foot soldier." I heard him say.
" Why would you do that, Ethan? We already talked about this and you promised you won't be going on withe this plan of yours." Mother replied quietly but i could hear the venom in her words, she was very angry.
" I did ,love but I had a change of heart. The hunting business isn't bringing much Gold as it used to anymore. I can't stand to see you and our son go sick because of limited resources. I hate to see you wearing those worn ou clothes. I...."

"....I don't care about all that, I knew all these before I decided to marry you. All I ever wanted is a happy home, not riches. Ethan, we have a son . You can't just wakeup and decide to choose your path to death. There is more to a successful home than money, please don't do this." She pleaded. " I am doing this for our son, most especially. For weeks now , I have thought of alternatives but they are none at the moment. The King desires Scultors,crafts-men, artists, healers and fair women and you know I don't fit in any of those categories. I am a plain bow-man, a hunter , rejected by his family because I wasn't born with the gift. The only place i fit in is the army. As wicked as the King is , he keeps to his word. Besides, the battle is already half won and we have Magicians and all kinds of sorcerers on our side, so I won't be doing much and I won't be away from you lot for long. Let your mind be at peace because i will surely return. " I heard Father say before they both started their noisy lovemaking.
I drifted off to sleep and woke up the next day to a home without him. I decided to look out for Mother and practically followed her everywhere she went like I could actualtually protect her. Things were going pretty normal for us until mom started getting paranoid because Father hadn't returned after four full moons. She prayed to the spirits everyday and they finally answered her prayers when the victorious army returned but he wasn't among them. We were later told that a lot of foot soldiers were lost and Ethan Carrows was among the fallen. Mother was paid his allowances and things returned to normal in the city but not in our family as shewas slowly losing her mind.
One day, I returned from the woods after getting some herbs to help with Mother's hallucinations when I found her on the floor at an odd angle. She had white substance around her mouth, I screamed and called for help and it didn't take long for the healer to tell me that my mum was dead. That was the beginning of my sorrowful life. In one season, I lost both of my parents at twelve years of age. Twenty years later, I lost my daugther and wife to unknown circumstances. It seems I have the worst luck in the world or I am just cursed, which is it? I screamed to no one in particular as I buried my fallen.

CHAPTER 1
____________________________________________________
The Old Ones...
__________________________________________________
The deer was so busy enjoying its meal; it didn’t hear the bend of my bow nor the whistling of my arrow gliding through the air towards its head. By the time the poor little thing noticed it wasn’t alone, it was too late. The arrow had hit its mark and the lovely deer was gone in seconds. I felt bad after what I just did and why I still get being pricked almost immediately after killing something still amazes me, considering the fact that I have been doing this for the last twenty years. I shrugged off the feeling as usual and slowly walked up to the dead animal. I pulled out the killing tool and wiped the blood off it before returning it to my quiver. It took me quite some time before I started the cuttings and all as the sheer beauty of the deer mesmerized me. The horns of the deer weren’t like the usual ones as this one had some peculiar curves. I wondered where I had seen such before but I just couldn't get a grip on it, and that it was particularly strange as I wasn’t the sort that forgets. Then it hit me; this was what was called the “old ones” as they were extremely rare to find and quite difficult to hunt. My dad once told me that killing any of this was the dream of any hunter. My dad was no ordinary hunter, he was the best of the best, but he was never able to kill any of these deer before his death. My joy knew no bounds as I quickly cut the animal limb by limb and carefully put the parts in my hunting bag. It was said that killing any of these deer brings good luck, though I am not a fan of superstitions and magic, but I couldn't help but hope that my wishes of having another child after my first six years ago will be finally answered. My mission for the day had been accomplished; it was time to begin the long walk back home. I headed home and that amazing feeling washed over me as I couldn’t wait to tell my beautiful wife and daughter the good news. I ran through the woods, scaring the little animals in the process. I still couldn’t believe it; I have done what no hunter has done in generations. Has it even ever been done? “yessssssss”I screamed and punched the air, tonight is going be wonderful. I soon stopped running and continued the journey home, walking. Soon, I was close to home as I could see our little apple farm, I stopped and plucked an apple, munching it and smiling as I felt like a god. But that smile soon came off my face as I noticed some weird tracks along the path to my cabin.
I followed the tracks and tried to make meaning out of it as it seems the tracks started and stopped at the farm which didn’t make any sense. I was still trying to figure out what happened there when I saw a black substance on the ground. It was tar, what could such a thing be doing around here, I wondered . I got a little nervous and ran all the way to my cabin but there was no longer a cabin as what I once called home was a shadow of itself.
My cabin had been set on fire and everything had collapsed to the ground. My bag fell off my hands as I was in shock. I left here a night ago and if my cabin was on fire, surely I would have seen the flames. Dear Spirits, what happened here? I ran quickly to see if my family was in the cabin when it was set a blazed or they were kidnapped. I silently prayed for the latter but it was not to be so, as I found my daughter burnt beyond recognition inside the cabin but her mother wasn’t beside her.
“Mellissa!!!! “ I screamed my daughter’s name but she didn’t answer as she must have passed the threshold into the underworld long ago. I didn’t know how I was supposed to react and so I covered her with my coat and went in search of her mother. I looked around the area hoping to find something that might lead me to her as she wasn’t in the cabin. I searched and searched but I couldn’t find anything until for some reason I decided to look up and to my horror, there she was, hanging from a tree. The tracks that didn’t lead to nowhere finally made sense as it was right under there she was hanged .
Tears ran down my eyes as I quickly climbed the tree to bring her down. Her eyes were wild open suggesting that she was watching something horrifying before her death, probably the fact that her daughter was being set on fire. No, it was something else as her clothes look ruffled. I pulled up her gown to discover that her trousers were ripped around her vagina. Katharina was raped before she was hanged. Who could have done this wicked thing to a harmless mother and daughter? I went back inside and carried my daughter out, placed her beside her mother. With tears flowing down my eyes, I stared at the still bodies of my last living family. In a night that was supposed to be for celebration, somehow it's now a time of grief. My luck still remains rotten.
Once again, death has come calling and yet still, I can’t seem to stop it from taking the ones I love.
