The Order Of Swords

The Squad captain of the Pegaluves that came to kill Achlys was killed by the hands of his friend Cryo and there met his end. He lay down on the ground with spikes of ice piercing through his body, the dripping blood from his corpse made the white ice turn pure red as they were red to begin with.

Achlys and Cryo stared at the dead body in pity. Achlys mourned his death and they both made their way to the centre of the city.

"His death was already defined by the hands of God...he was meant to die there...yes...this must be it." Achlys whispered faintly to himself. Cryo overheard it and nodded.

"It alright, master...this is just the law of the world, Survival of the strongest."

"I know..." Achlys nodded in agreement.

As they made their way to the center, Achlys noticed something...something that was unordinary. "Cryo, that! Save her!" he points to the elderly woman that was falling from the sky.

"At once!" Cryo rushed towards the lady. He created a ramp and skated on it to increase his speed and catch the lady. Just in the nick of the moment, Cryo saved the lady from her fall.

"T-thank you- Oh my, you are so handsome...to think I will get the honor of being saved by a prince in my last years."

"No need to thank me, miss...I just did the obvious" Cryo smiles at her and lays her down on the ground for her to rest." If you want to thank someone, then thank my master."

Achlys all of a sudden ran towards the centre of the city where the roots that connected the city to the ground was there.

"Achlys- What the heck!?" Cryo saw Achlys heading towards the stairs leading to the main city of Libertatis, also known as the Inner city.

The corpses of hundreds of men and women were falling down from the inner city, and all had a stab wound in the heart in common. "Just what is going on? Why are so many people dying and falling down?"

"It's because-" the lady faints from stress relieve and sleeps soundly.

"That was weird... but what was she gonna say? Never mind" He left the lady near the water fountain close the centre of the city. "Take care, old lady!" With that Cryo ran after Achlys.

Both made their way to the inner city, climbing the long and sturdy stairs that took them to what others called Heaven on Ofratrea.

Meanwhile somewhere inside an old prison, Lecia slept soundly in a dusty cold room behind the bars.

She suddenly woke up. "What happened...!?"

"They threw you here...you are one of the captives now."

Lecia heard a voice and looked around to find out where it came from. Beside Lecia, a beautiful young lady, somewhere around in her forties and was sitting. She was covered in dirt; her white robe was all tattered and dirty. Her lustrous and glossy blue hair were as if they have lost their shine because of the all the dirt in them.

"Who are you?" Asked Lecia

"I am but an imprisoned Pegaluve, though they know that I am far too good for this prison. The name's Crevial Ver Pius. It's nice to meet you." She tossed her hair backward in her attempt to show her confidence.

"I am Lecia, the angel of curses... the pleasure is all mine."

"Mhm...What a lovely and angelic name." Her face showed signs of sarcasm which Lecia very well noticed. "So why are you here? You are criminal or something? Or maybe your goal is to destroy the kingdom?"

"Kingdom...? Wasn't this a city? Never mind that...is there a way to get out of here?" Lecia ignored her question and thought of way to escape this room.

Crevial lay down on the stone bed covered with hay in the cell. "You are a dumb bitch, you know that? You should have known that prisons are free shelter with free food. Ain't no one thinking or escaping this place." She threw a piece of bread at her that was left for late night snack.

"Here, have it."

"No thanks." She threw the bread back at her.

"Well have it your way then." Crevial munched on her late night snack.

Lecia dumbfounded by her attitude just threw a punch at the wall. "This should do it. So how many days have I been out for?"

"A decade"

"Huh...!? Don't give me that crap. Just answer it correctly." Lecia angered by her unneeded sarcasm was ready to throw a punch or two at her.

"Not cool, boring...just a few hours." She replied truthfully.

Lecia made her way out to the other side of the broken wall and turned around. "So you wanna come with me or stay here at your wannabe free home?"

Crevial sighed and got up. "I'll come. The food doesn't taste that good here." She walked to the bars and broke a few.

"What are those bars for?" Lecia asked curiously.

"For what...? Self defense obviously, dumbass." She said with cold smile.

"You-!" Lecia controlled her anger and let it go.

"Bitch you really got no brains up there."

"That's it...If you just called me anything offensive one more time, I'll put the bars up your loving cheeks and pull it through your mouth." She squeezed the bars so tight that there were imprints of her fingers and palm on it.

Crevial astonished and flabbergasted by her reaction just nodded and walked with her silently.

They made their way back to the city of Libertatis after walking past some trees that were next to the prison they in.

"This reminds me, why were there no guards in the prison?" Lecia asked curiously.

"Because the whole prison was enchanted with magic and had a really strong barrier surrounding it. The guards only patrolled during the food hours...usually for breakfast and dinner. By the way, I found this sword. It was thrown with you in the prison; thought it was important so kept it." 

Lecia snatched the sword and hugged it real tight. She started breathing heavily. "Hehe! My precious! My Husband's precious sword..."

"Ew...Why are you..." Crevial felt disgusted by her reaction to the sword. She snatched the sword back to save the sword from that sort of harassment.

"You dare touch the sword of my beloved!??" she screamed at her. "Give it back!"

"Damn girl, you the real deal." Crevial ran away with the sword and Lecia chased behind her.

........

Somewhere between the mountains there was a forest with huge dark trees. In that forest lies the Tree of Darkness at the centre of the Great forest of Eternal Darkness. But that was not the only thing that made the forest known for its darkness. It was the Demon Lord's Castles next to the Tree of darkness with a few pillars scattered across the forest. 

Tiabishi stood in front of the entrance of the forest. She tried to head inside but was stopped by a black hole. "Who are you?" she turned around and saw a man with black eyes with a tint of redness into it that shined like the ruby itself. He wore a black suit with a sword around his waist. There was a book floating next to him.

"I mean no harm, miss...I am here to find myself a partner." The man looks at her and smiles pleasantly. "Though I must say, it is quite fascinating to see an elf around these corners, especially in a demon territory." He closed his book.

Just as Tiabishi blinked, the man suddenly appeared in front of her. "So, why are you here, young lady?"

She is taken aback and unsheathed her sword; she took her stance and was ready to attack.

She is taken aback and unsheathed her sword; she took her stance and was ready to attack.

"Oh my...? Such fast reflexes."

"Who are you!?" Tiabishi asked the man that was smiling at her. He walked towards her and lowers her weapon by his finger.

"My weapon!?" she couldn't understand why couldn't she stab his finger that was lowering her weapon down.

"No need be on guard. It's all right, young lady." He pulled his hand back and looked at the sunset than at her. "I am Dobrota! The Prince of Demons!!"

"Prince...of demons...?" Tiabishi was in disbelief.

"Yes, Now answer my question, who are you?" Dobrota gave her an intense stare.

Instead of replying to his question she swung her sword at him. In response, Dobrota opened his book and started to bend the sword using some sort of magic.

"What? What is going on? My sword...?" She charged at him and travelled with speed feet and attacked with cold fall.

Dobrota didn't move an inch and smiled.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Another demon came into view. She had long black and had the same eyes as Dobrota.

"Princess...!? Why are you here?" Tiabishi got surprised by her sudden appearance.

The princess looked at both of them playing around and sighed. "Why are you her, elf? Go to that little boyfriend of yours."

Tiabishi launched an icicle at the princess. "Don't you dare talk about him from that filthy mouth of yours, bitch!"

The princess looked disgusted; she suddenly appeared behind Tiabishi and grabbed her by her hair. "What did you just say, elf?"

"Let go of me!" Tiabishi screamed in pain.

The princess cut her short and threw them to the ground. "This is what you get for stepping out of your bounds." She burns the cut hair with laser and kicked her away.

"You are really too kind, brother." She sighed and punched him in guts sending him flying to one of the pillars.

"Just what the hell is wrong with this family?" throught as she is coughing blood on the ground of the kick from the princess and looked at the princess with annoyance
