[ Meka ]

“It’s time for changes! Our clan did nothing for the past years! Did we get richer? No! Did we gain new lands?! No! We did nothing while the other clans got stronger! I came here to change that! I’m going to take over as the head of Noreka Clan! Which means… I need your help! All men will join my army!”

People began to chatter again. They didn’t like his idea one bit. Such peaceful people don’t want to change just like that and go to war. They got used to their way of life. Meka saw everyone's concern and unhappy looks.

[ Meka ]

“I think I didn’t make it clear… That’s an order that you can’t disobey… Unless…” Meka threw the jarl to the ground and stepped on his back with one leg. He took out one of his swords and with one swift move, he chopped off Jarl’s head. “This is punishment for disobedience and it falls on the whole family…”

A few guards came out with three more people with ropes on their necks. It was two women and one teenage boy. They were placed by the wall and shot in the chest with bows. Good thing I told Stella to stay away from us. She was on the roof two buildings away. Dian wanted to do something but I kept him close. If would attack them now we would be totally outnumbered.

[ Eric ]

“I’m sorry but we can’t do it now…” I whispered to Dian.

As I tried to calm him down something really unexpected happened. I thought that Turiel would be calm and don’t make any rush decisions but he stood up and drew his bow at Meka. The arrow was going straight for his head but it never is that easy. Meka blocked the arrow with his sword and easily spotted us.

[ Meka ]

“Don’t get in my way brother!” He shouted as he pointed the sword toward us.

Many guards began to move toward us. We jumped off the roof as fast as we could and I had to drag those two with me. As we jumped I saw arrows flying by. We’re being pursued in this town for the third time…

[ Meka ]

“You idiots! Don’t kill my brother!” He shouted as he noticed guars aiming with bows.

[ Eric ]

“Create that fog of yours! I’ll try to wipe them out slowly… Where’s the captain!?”

[ Dian ]

“I don’t know. I wasn’t watching him.”

[ Eric ]

“Ehh… Okay. Just create that fog. Take them down one by one. Shout if you're exhausted. Then we’ll fall back.”

As the guards came out of the corner they saw us getting covered in fog. I could hear them panicking in confusion. Unfortunately the fog has the same effect on me but I’m not looking for the exit now. Whenever I stumbled on the enemy I made a quick move on them. I strangled a few of them. To make it more confusing I punched one guy and ran away. They sometimes attacked each other.

When we were fighting in the fog Turiel made a decision to go after Meka. He got on another roof getting ready to make another shot but Meka somehow spotted him. Meka thrust his swords into the ground. It was an invitation for Turiel.

[ Turiel ]

“Why are you doing this…” Turiel showed up in front of the main office building and the guards blocked his way with spears.

[ Meka ]

“Let him through!” The guards stepped away and let Turiel approach his brother. “Didn’t you hear my speech? I’m making changes. If we don’t do something to get stronger… Someone will take advantage of that. We could get raided and killed! I’m doing it for our clan!”

[ Turiel ]

“You’re the one creating that possibility! Because of your revolution, someone might take action and wipe us out!”

[ Meka ]

“No… No. No. No!!! I’m the one who prevents that! If you don’t like my idea then show me what you can achieve! Fight me!” Siad Meka as he took one of his swords and stepped away.

[ Turiel ]

“Fine. Show me that strength you hid from me!” Said Turiel as he took the other sword.

A sound of sword collision traveled through a silent area. Turiel was the first one to strike using both of his arms to handle the sword while Meka blocked the attack with a sword in one hand.

[ Meka ]

“I didn’t hide anything!”

Meka kicked Turiel away. He barely managed to not fall. His brother ran after him and threw one attack after another. Turiel blocked the attacks but he felt the strain on his hands. If not for the gloves he would have a hard time having a grasp on it. Each strike was so strong that the sword could fly away.

[ Meka ]

“I was weak! I couldn’t achieve my dream that way! I couldn’t best you!” Meka drove Turiel to the wall and pressed him to it. “Then she came! Being far stronger than gods! She chose me to become one of her first followers! She is just getting stronger and stronger! Even Odin will fear her!”

[ Turiel ]

“Are you saying… There is a new god…”

[ Meka ]

“YES! Lady Cariva! She will become the most powerful god! And we will rise with her!”

Turiel tried to push his brother away but he couldn’t do it. Meka seeing his resistance lost the point of this fight and grabbed his brother by the throat.

[ Meka ]

“That wasn’t enough to convince you… Sleep while I achieve my dreams…”

[ Dian ]

“I’m running out of strength!”

[ Eric ]

“Fall back! Fall back…” I shouted as I noticed the fog going down. “I said to shout before! Before you run out of strength!”

[ Dian ]

“Behind you!”

I turned around with a sword that I stole from them, ready for the attack but the thug that was going to attack me was killed. A spear from the ground hit him right in the head. When I looked at the roof I saw Stella riding Skyge in his real form.

[ Eric ]

“We’re going to have a talk about this later!”

My first plan was to weaken their numbers but when I checked the view from the sky we barely did a thing. Killing would be easier… No. This will be the last resort. What if… What if I’ll go after the leader? Taking him out will make more chaos… He is not the only problem. The whole band is! Maybe war is the only option but I don’t have the time!

[ Eric ]

“Aah! FUCK IT! Dian! We’re going to the capital! The problem became too big for only us to handle!”

[ Dian ]

“Why? We need to defeat Meka!”

[ Eric ]

“And when we defeat them the thugs will go wild! That’s why we need an army! Gates are open and unguarded. All of them are coming to us from the main office.”
