All Chapters of Ice Monarch: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

It was still very dark out as it was the middle of the night. Despite this, Lucien could see that most of the adults looked very depressed.“Head back to Zlieta City,” Lucien ordered.The children cheered again and immediately headed down the mountain path.Lucien threw the man over his shoulder and began to walk behind the children as some of the adults began to move slowly.“Hey,” Lucien spoke in order to get the attention of the man walking next to him. “What are you so down for?”The man shot an angry look over at Lucien, “My child is dead! He died… yesterday. Why didn’t you or anyone else come break us free earlier! If you g

The next day, Lucien found himself just behind a covered wagon about a mile away.‘They must be making frequent stops if I’m catching them.’He neared the wagon to see that it was indeed stopped. Looking around, he saw that the wagon was empty. The drivers and passengers, if there were any, were all gone.‘Did they have to relieve themselves?’Lucien was a bit curious, but nonetheless, it wasn’t his business.He continued to walk by the covered wagon. … 

“I’m curious, how did you make it out of that pit?” Mr. Armos asked, almost annoyed.“What’s it to you, old man? You’re here to try and kill me anyway. Isn’t that right?” Lucien retorted as he continued to glare at Mr. Armos.“I guess you’re right.

Lucien had to watch where he was going or risk running into someone with each step. However, due to his intimidating presence, most moved out of the way for him.‘So, a city as grand as this was just north of my hometown?’Lucien admired all the buildings that towered over him, all at least three stories tall.

Lucien suppressed his power immediately and approached Kalin slowly.Kalin dropped to his knees as tears began to run down his face.“It’s really you! I thought you had died six years ago!” Kalin heaved with unbelief.Lucien knelt down by him and placed his hand on Kalin’s shoulder and smiled, “Did you really think I would let myself die so easily.”Kalin pulled Lucien in with one arm and hugged him briefly before letting him go and standing up. He wiped his tears as Lucien stood back up with him.“I hardly recognized you man. You’re a man now. I’m sure you’ve had some ladies look your way.” Kalin laughed.
