The journey from there was not comfortable for Shinji and Fujimoto by any means. They had been blind-folded and were tied on horse’s back by their abdomen.Whenever the horse galloped or stepped on a rock, Shinji thought the impact was about to break his lower rib cage. He found himself wondering for many occasions whether Wernh’An’s armies were still with …

“And kill these two as well.” Commander Eiga said. Their lives and horse’s life was same in his perspective. The beheader also paused to see whom Eiga was referring to but resumed slicing after getting to know.Shinji dropped his sword and elbowed Fujimoto to do the same but Fujimoto was too scared to understand the sign language. By the time …

It twirled the sword for a quicker death but Tetsu was dead the moment steel had entered his body. The guard removed his hand from the sword then looked at Shinji’s direction. “S***!” Shinji got up. He wondered if he was hallucinating or not. After seeing same expression on Fujimoto’s face, he understood it was all for real. The guard …

The heat of fire touched wriggling fingers of Tetsu. Warmth that passed through his finger gaps reached to his face and made him feel better.

This is where he sharpens his sword.Every kid had heard such things at one point of time or another. And all of them believed it was true. Yet nobody had been bitten by …

“Chosokabes will be safe.” Nobukazu said the same thing he had said to those cut-throats, “His family lives in an impregnable house which he can move from one place to another. And impossible to find.”“Wernh’An thinks otherwise. He can locate Chosokabes from the very moment Wutke starts showing its presence.

Braden watched the sun settle between hills after a tiring session of rehearsal. For not a minute he had found himself feeling comfortable with the wannabe actor eying at the role which he was playing.From the place where he was, he saw the crowd thickening.
