226 A changing fate
“Javier!”
Justice and Jason scread at the sa ti, overlooking their brother in the middle of the room, bloodied and unconscious. Vale and Brom imdiately cast full protect on both of the princes, the two magi along with the other troops were looking around, cautiously.
Brom who was walking in front of Vale. Noticing sothing in the corner, he throw the light orb and his eyes got wide for the revelation and turns his head to Vale.
“Primary captain… I think this is.”
“A cage and it’s big. They kept sothing inside this room. Prepare yourself.” Said Vale to Brom, and when he look at the other corner, he saw it. A big Tarantuga, a Spider monster with eight furry legs and ten small eyes, with two big jaws, bloodied jaws. “F*ck! Justice, prepare yourself, it was a Tarantuga!”
Vale and Brom ran toward the crown prince and his brother. They activated their magica and throw firewall spells before the Tarantuga could do any harm to the princes. Justice, who’s crouching beside his brother, now calling for his fire sword, as he leaps to the tarantuga. He was furious, noticing the wound on his brother and looking into the bloody jaw of the tarantuga.
A fireball spell was coming from Vale. As Brom took his ti to cast a much higher level spell, Justice manage to slash one of the legs, the huge monster roared and the much smaller version ca from every direction of the room. The troops protecting Javier’s body alongside Jason.
Justice got a puncture wound from one of the spikes on the tarantuga legs, but he didn’t even budge. All he wants is to kill this monster. He was blinded by anger. Vale looks into Brom and shouted.
“Brom, how much longer?!”
.....
Opening his eyes, Brom glowing eyes, with his two hand raising to the sky, he then shouted back at Vale. “Now! Took Justice away from the monster!”
Vale jumped and throw himself to Justice, they fall to the ground just enough ti for Vale to casted a full protect spell once again, and Brom’s hand then dropped, and the roof caved into the monster alone, the underground facility now has an opening, and as soon as the roof collapsed, small teors ca running down to the monster, Brom throws full protect to everyone in the room, and the teors blasted, destroyed the gargantuan, and not long after the armies of the small critters also followed suit.
Everyone erged from the rubbles, Jason and Justice took Javier into the healer’s tent as soon as possible. Vale stayed behind, with Brom by his side.
“Brom, what exactly happened earlier?” Asked Vale, helping the troops rescue the rest of them from the rubbles.
Broms stayed as gullible as ever, questioning back Vale’s question. “What do you an?”
“Brom… Stop, I am serious.” He warned the once subordinate of his, knowing full well how Brom sotis does this to him. “That high-level spell, I never saw it before, and from the looks of it, it is much higher level than what I was imagining, before! Brom, what is that? And what happened to you?”
His mysterious eyes locked to the green erald eyes of Vale, he went quiet for a while, just looking at his primary captain who is admired so much, “I can’t tell you about this right now, not… Not before I discuss this with certain people.”
“Why? Why do you need to discuss this with soone else before you can even talk to ? How is that matter?” He just couldn’t believe him. Vale was thinking Brom just wanted to hide everything from him. “Just tell , Brom.”
“I can’t, alright?! Because you’re not involved… You… and the rest of the others… are just…” He shook his head and walk away from Vale.
Vale, who was curious, hold Brom’s arm, preventing him from going away. “What do you an, the rest of the others? Who do you need to talk to first? Tell .” Brom pulls his arm out, but Vale never budges, “Anne, it was her, right? Was she involved in this? Why do you need to talk to her first?”
“Primary captain! Get a hold of yourself!” This ti, it was Brom who got impatient, “Look, I’ve already promised, I will tell you everything, but at the right mont, alright? Please, trust , Vale.”
This is the first ti Brom calls Vale without his military title. He got stunned and just watches his forr subordinate walk away from him. For Vale, Brom is still the sa for him, his mannerism, his uninterested look, all of it is Brom. But, sohow, there’s a subtle change that he can’t put directly at him. He took sighed and look into the sky.
“Primary captain!” Said a voice of a woman. He turned around and see Heirim.
“Lady Heirim, what’s the matter?” Said, Vale. He just notice Arthur and Xander were walking with her.
“Just Heirim, please. I was demoted to the second junior rank, and we are now on active duty.” She said to Vale, with full respect for him.
Vale was surprised to see how much change was coming from Heirim, he grunted to himself, “First, Brom, now this young lady, are we going to the end of the era?”
“Excuse ?” Heirim looks at him with a frown on her face.
“Umm, nothing… So, why do you call for ?”
“The crown prince asked for you in the healer’s tent. It is about Prince Javier.” She said it to , and Vale could see in her eyes, sothing bad is happening to the prince.
He run as fast as he could and felt that Heirim, Arthur, and Xander were following closely from behind. He reached the tent, where Anne was standing outside. Xavier held her tightly on his arm while her left hand held onto Henry. Their faces were nothing but mournful, he open the tent and saw Justice sitting while crouching, there are tears in his eyes. Jason, leaning on the post of the tent, covers his face, but he can hear him sobbing.
The most heartbreaking of all is to see king Edward wailing, holding into the dead body of Prince Javier.
