2020-06-07 01:56:49Galaspiael tried to ignore a pain in his stomach for several hours.
A war council gathered in the very morning. After a thorough discussion of the strategy, two stages of the battle was decided. The Sekanians were to take the first blow. Then the Kagolanian troops advancing from the opposite side would surround the fighters with a ring that they could not break.
Earlier, the king had warned that Madegald had much more deadly weapons than swords and arrows, but assure that Kagolanian has something similar. For the first time, he demonstrated the dynamite to a larger group. When he saw a new hope rise in his subjects, he felt self-satisfaction for the first time in a few years.
"Reserve is being prepared in Kagolania. I ordered the non-stop production," said Galaspiael, resting his feet firmly on the ground and leaning slightly in the chair. He felt a bit better in this position.
"Is this paper?" The Silver Guard captain looked at the invention distrustfully. "I have the impression that it will fall apart in my hands. What if the mixture spills on our people?"
"The explosive mix is stored in packaging made of paper-like material, but much more durable than the one you know. Nothing leaked during the last tests," the king assured. "We made the prototypes in glass vials, but this material would be too expensive in the long run."
"It is better not to disclose immediately what we have. They will send us troops that are not as well equipped as those closer to the border. Sekanians will draw them into our ambush." General Kien moved the wooden pieces on the map, thus illustrating the plan of the attack. "His Highness, along with the rest of the ride, will stun them."
"I want to go to their camp after the battle. There may be dynamite reserves there, they will be useful later."
"An outstanding plan," Samin said maliciously. "His Majesty is such a great strategist, if we only knew about it earlier, we could declare war on Madegald instead of wasting time defending Sekania!"
He fell silent as everyone's attention focused on him.
"I didn't create this strategy myself," said the king calmly. "May I ask why you are so snappy my friend?"
"When did you discuss these plans?"
Something was wrong. Galaspiael was surprised by the accusing tone in which Samin spoke to him. He choked up the urge to yell, knowing they didn't have time to argue.
"We started last night," said General Rina. "You were not present Samin."
"Ah yes? Well, it's definitely my fault I couldn't show up."
"I don't know why you were absent, but you can't expect us to wait for you forever ?!" Galaspiael almost shouted. "We're at war, we can't waste time! Do you understand?"
They both looked at each other for a moment. Finally, Samin turned his head first.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand that," he replied with a smile. "Next time I'll make sure to get there on time."
"If you want to add something new, go on."
"Now?" Samin shook his head. "No, this strategy seems to be fine. There's no need to add anything."
"Let's not waste more time arguing with each other. We need to prepare for the battle!"

"Why you're not in Sekania yet?" Nailan greeted Zarkin with these words. He was surprised that she had spoken at all. They argued roughly for several days.
"I'm going there soon," he replied coldly, "I had to buy a second quiver."
"Don't take too many things."
"I won't" He clenched his fists angry at the way she spoke to him. "Only weapons, provisions, replacement clothes, and that's it."
The girl sat down and stretched lazily. She followed his actions and sighed from time to time.
"The king will be with the ride, is that so?"
"Exactly. How do you know?"
"Her Highness told me that. Everyone should be in place today. Since you're in the Silver Guard, he probably realized you're not there by now."
"First of all, I don't have Kagolian citizenship, so he should be grateful for the very fact I decided to go to this war. And secondly, I don't even belong to the ride, I'm an archer!" He shouted annoyed. "Haven't you noticed it yet?"
"Why are you yelling at me, not everyone needs to know!"
A malicious smile appeared on his face.
"You certainly don't have to. After all, your funny washer wanted to run from the troop like a coward, right?"
"How dare you!"
"You thought I didn't know? I saw you going to him several times. Why are you still with me? For living here? You can be in the palace all day. Weren't you ashamed to pretend to love like that?"
"To love? You made something up, "she murmured. "Why would I even want to be with you? I never gave you one reason to believe it. You should distinguish love from sleeping with someone."
Zarkin took a step back. He tried not to show how angry or shocked her words were, but he couldn't. Nailan understood after a moment. She took his hand, but he broke free.
"I thought you knew it wasn't a relationship!"
"What do high-born ladies like you call it?" He drawled coldly.
"It was just ... some fun. At least for me. I didn't know you were taking everything seriously. Why didn't you say?
Zarkin looked at her with contempt and snorted softly.
"Don't act more stupid than you already are. For so long I ran after you like a dog and gave everything you asked for. I took you here and I didn't take any other girls. Still, you thought I didn't have serious intentions? You better admit that you are ashamed of what I have on my shoulder. You don't want to be with the ex-slave because the other courts are laughing at you. That would sound much more credible." He tied the bundle vigorously and threw him on his back. "I wish I had listened to Kalena when she told me she had doubts about you." Leave this house before she comes back. Goodbye Nailan."

"Is it possible to give someone your power?" Kalena felt inner protest inside, but she knew that she could not refuse this offer."Yes," he replied calmly."But... this is my life energy! I will die when you take it away from me.""You won't die, though you will feel a bit different. The energy you are talking about can be compared to water in a vessel. When you pour too much, a thin layer protrudes beyond the walls. Enchanters are people who have too much energy in their bodies, so it flows out and connects to what is outside. I would only take this part. It would not affect your life span in any way, you only won't be able to enchant anymore.The voice stuck in her throat for a moment. She did not want to agree to this condition. If it were any other matter, she would not agree, but she knew that she had no choice."Good," she said with a heavy heart. "Since that's the only way to save him, I agree. Galaspiael's life is more valuable than my gift

Kalena was drowning.Najana attacked her again. She pushed Kalena into the river and then it turned out that she was able to enchant water. She quickly created a deadly trap out of it. Every time the girl floated to the surface, a huge wave covered her, preventing from taking air in.With the last strength, Kalena reached out, trying to get some fire energy from the only source she had seen, the setting sun. It wasn't much, but it gave her the power to jump out and burn her opponent's face.She knelt for a moment, coughing and gasping for air. The woman next to her was moaning in pain, holding her right cheek. It annoyed Kalena that she couldn't hurt Najana, though she put all her strength into the fight. She managed to escape with her life, but also her enemy. Because of this, search for Galaspiael turned into an escape from Najana.At least, however, she knew she was going in the right direction.She ran away, sure that this time she had lost the

Kalena stared at the hastily extinguished hearth, not knowing what to do.She deluded herself that maybe it was a coincidence, that maybe only one unit had been ordered to return, and Galaspiael was with another somewhere in the Sekania. Intuition, however, suggested her to follow the traits and Najana's attack made it clear she was right.Najana attacked her suddenly, completely surprising. The black outfit made her almost invisible at night. Kalena wanted to use enchanting in a panic, but nothing could cast fire energy. She pulled out am-shen and shielded herself from a blow to the head. She was angry at herself for being caught up in such a senseless fight and could waste time again.She pushed Najana to the ground, and quickly got on the horse and followed the footsteps. She realized, however, that her opponent was not going to give up easily. She tried to lose her, but she couldn't."Leave me alone!" The girl shouted, stopping on the road. "I don't w

All the way to Sekania, Kalena was furious at herself thinking how much time she had lost.When she was about to leave the Forbidden Zone, Gyeul attacked her again and made her unconscious for a few hours. She awoke in the morning the next day. She lost the whole night.The girl looked with fear at every man passing by. She tried to comfort herself, with a thought that she was getting further away from the palace and Samin, but it couldn't stop her fear. Finally, she managed to cross the border, with almost a day delay.For safety, she decided not to sleep in any village. She did not know how far the power of the new king could reach, but she was sure that Samin was looking for her and knew where she went. She didn't want to admit to herself that she was afraid. Not of fighting but of loneliness that began to surround her from all sides.Kalena thought that once she knew where Galaspiael was being held, she would slip away early in the morni

"I don't know if these would be enough for you," said Rikken when Kalena examined the swords from Yagn-sho. "This is the best am-shen I've found here, but I don't think they can match those created only for you in the royal forge.""The skills testify about the warrior, not where his sword was forged," she replied calmly, looking for the weapon most similar to the previous one."But a good sword is also useful. If you'll wait a few days, I could bring some better ones.""I don't have a few days. If Galaspiael is in captivity in Madegald, I have to hurry," she responded firmly. Rikken leaned against the wall and shook his head."I misjudged you during the training. I could not see at that time what a wonderful person you would grow up. You embarrass us all with your courage and loyalty. What kind of subjects are we, if no one dared to go with you to save the king?"Kalena stopped in a half step and sighed heavily."I don't risk anything anymo

"Dirty girl, I'm just waiting for the order!" The guard has threatened Kalena since Samin announced that she would be executed. "The previous king was sick in his mind when he decided to bring a slave to a higher circle. But soon it will be over! Only you remained and the Silver Guard is over. You are no real guard! Do you even know what ranks are in the palace guard?"Kalena did not answer to any provocation. She sat with her back to the door as far as the chains allowed, and pretended to hear nothing.She could do nothing at all in the cell. The escape was impossible. So she decided to go back to the meditation exercises, which she and Galaspiael began, and then abandoned when he went to war. She had a lot of time for this because her peace was disturbed only by a tray of food, inserted through a narrow hole between the door and the floor.Kalena still didn't know if she could enchant something, but she felt her internal energy increase. She wasn't afraid of d
