The Last Primal Chapter 251
Advertisement
Hearing the blonde amazon's words, Scarlet just had to take a look at the supposedly silent and 'orc-free' outside for herself. Stepping forward he grabbed the door and pulled it wide open for everyone to see.
The sight that greeted them, shocked not just her but Sarah as well, who was just behind the two, still a bit heated as a result of the teasing of the grinning amazon at the front.
"What happened here? Where is everyone?!" Seeing that there were absolutely no signs of the guards, Scarlet cried out in a mixture of surprise and shock. Surprise because of the fact they were truly safe, but also shocked because there were absolutely no signs of the guards, not even signs of any sort of struggle. They just seemed to… 'vanish', for a lack of a better word.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Sarah asked from behind, taking a step forward as well and taking a look. Seeing how it was calm, and there were absolutely no signs of the guards, she went into deep thought once more.
Being the most knowledgeable of Aiden's abilities of the three, she had some vague idea of what could have transpired here. Still, she couldn't be sure, and besides, it wasn't that important anyway.
A content smile began to gently curve the edges of her lips as her thoughts raced back on the strange young man that walked into her life from seemingly nowhere, surprising her with his shocking feats time and time again.
"Heh, he really couldn't sit still… He just had to take care of them…" Sarah let out a sigh that could be mistaken for a sign of annoyance, however, the gentle look in her eyes and the unmistakable smile on her face told a very different tale.
Turning around, she left the other two walking back towards the far end of the building, to the furthest stall after Scarlet's. "Once you are done wasting our precious time gawking, we should get to work. There's quite a lot of stalls we need to somehow open up and set the people free."
Her words caused the other two to wake up from their stupor and pull back from the door. Putting her huge weapon back on her back, Naybeah only smirked as she looked at the purple-haired girl's back, silently following after her. Shortly behind her, the fiery red-haired Scarlet followed along, still perplexed about what could have happened at the gates.

He did see the boy rip his stall to pieces with ease just earlier, but he didn't really think he would be this strong. Although the feat was impressive especially if you would take a look at the boy's visible muscle mass, she just contributed it to some magical artifact, or that he knew where to grab the old wooden board to rip it out.
However now, after witnessing the scene on the outside and the fact that there weren't any to begin with, she started to think that maybe, just maybe there was something more to that long, black-haired, exotic-eyed youth than what she first believed. The fact that he could pull off such an incredibly realistic illusion to alter the look of his body was already an amazing feat.
Thinking about the boy, her eyes wandered off to the large, blonde amazon walking in front of her. Although she spent most of her youth locked away in cells and fighting for survival day in and day out, she did hear some stories about their fierce race. One story, one myth stuck to her mind: The fact that not just anybody could win an amazon's heart. The male had to be incredibly strong, as he had to be able to completely, utterly dominate the woman and also be accepted by the Queen of the Amazons. Not many could achieve such a feat, so the fact that this blonde giantess was so clearly smitten with that much smaller boy was a telltale sign that something was not ordinary about him.
Then the fact that the purple-haired woman, who whilst looking much more ordinary and bashful than her robust friend, had this aura of mysticism surrounding her. She wasn't physically strong, but still, Scarlet knew that when it came to combat, she could easily hold her own.
The stall right next to Scarlet's housed two humans, a man, and a woman. Besides the thin and patched, dirty, ragged linen bag that served as their 'attire' they were practically naked. Large, black metal chains were clasped around their necks, fixed to the pole in the middle.
As the trio walked to their stall and looked at them, they jumped in fright and scampered to corners of their little 'room' trying their hardest to blend in with the shadows, hoping that these fearsome, terrifying women will ignore them and not hurt them instead.

Their reaction soured the previously uncannily happy mood the trio of girls were in, pulling them back to the harshness of the reality. These pairs went through unimaginable nightmares to react to anybody like this. The horrors they experienced was not something they would be able to process, and nor should they have the need to.
Taking a big gulp to swallow the sadness and anger that began to settle on her face, Sarah forced the friendliest, kindest smile she could, and took a slow step forward, grabbing the wooden edges of the stool.
Leaning forward, she closed her eyes for a second. A moment later, as she opened them back up, her eyes suddenly lit up, emitting a faint purplish hue. The air around her began to visually buzz and vibrate, as her innate ability began to activate.
The tone of her voice changed, equipping a much different, otherworldly almost heavenly attribute. She calmly addressed the still shivering pair of humans trying to hide in the far corners.
"Fear not, I can promise you we are not here to hurt you. Instead, we would like to help you, we want to set you free! We want to remove the shackles that chained you to this place, to this fate, both physically…" Sarah took a slight pause in her speech, making sure to observe the frightened pair's tiniest of reactions before she continued with a similar smile on her face that would usually be seen on Aiden's face. "...and mentally."
Listening to her words, the pair felt a strange soothing sensation, a comfortable warmth spreading out inside their minds, gradually calming them down. Their defensive, frightened posture gradually eased, their expression became much better to look at.
The change was so shocking, that both Naybeah and Scarlet had a difficult time masking the shock of what they had seen. The previously fragile, harmless-looking girl has suddenly become much more dangerous. Although Scarlet had a hunch, it was still shocking to witness her suspicion prove true.
They remained silent, trying their best to hide their shock, albeit with great difficulties. Their turbulent thoughts wrought havoc in their minds, swarming them with dozens of questions that would probably never see any answers. Still, this wasn't the time for any of that, they had to place their trust in this now unknown, mysterious woman that she would do the right thing, and get the pair to come out of hiding.
Seeing the calm that began to settle on the pair of slave's faces, Sarah slowly reached out with her right hand towards them.
"Come to me, come to us! Let us help you, so you can take back what was taken from you!"
Turning silent, Sarah patiently waited for the duo to slowly process her words and make a decision for themselves. Although she was fairly certain that she would be able to take control of their minds and force them to come out, she did not want to do any of that, that wouldn't be right. They have to make this first step on their own, nobody could do it instead of them.
After almost a minute of silence, the pair finally made their decision. The fear slowly but surely completely vanished from their faces, only to be replaced by a newfound determination. As they looked at those glowing purple eyes of this mysterious woman, they were strangely not afraid. No, they felt a strange calmness, a new hope, a faint but still visible guiding light in the despairing darkness of their souls.
Turning towards each other, both the man and the woman, saw the same zeal in each other's eyes. With a reassuring nod to each other, they finally took their first steps by standing up from the ground, and slowly leaving the safety of the shadowy corners began to walk towards the purple-haired girl.
Seeing their reactions, Sarah responded with a gentle smile. Keeping her gaze on the pair, she waved towards her friends behind her to come closer and assist. Although she managed to free the shackles binding their minds, she was powerless against those heavy metal chains that bound them physically…
But this was where the other two would come in.

Blightbane
Miscellaneous Notes: - I want to see about making a crude map of Shroud to help readers. - I also want to get back to writing Coalescence updates. Schedule Notes: - None for now, updates when I can. [ Thank you for your patience and support as I improve my writing and storytelling abilities. I'm also using this story to better develop lore that extends far beyond it. ] Thanks to another exceptionally talented artist, Hiroeth, Blightbane now has an official cover! Vera was alone again. “You’re completely unprepared. Never before has sending one of you off made me feel quite so guilty.” Whenever she found herself in doubt, she would weigh her actions against the guiding principles of the one whom she revered. “When you don’t know the rules of the game, start making them up. When you are constrained by unfavorable conditions, inject a little chaos.” It was the supplementary message that concerned Vera the most. It was difficult to follow because it was intentionally vague and mired in subjectivity. “How can I enjoy myself when you look so tormented? Are we in danger?” Vera fell silent. An experiment is taking place on a planetary scale. Across the surface of the planet, a phenomenon referred to as "Blight" is spreading. Festering regions defended by fierce creatures called “blightbeasts” taint the surface, warping the land and proliferating unceasingly. Among the sentient creatures of the planet, it is the Blightbane Guild’s responsibility to stem the tide. They endeavor to cleanse the land in a struggle of attrition, but they are losing ground. A young man named Caim has been uprooted from his former life and transported to The Shrouded Theocracy, an isolationist nation with fanatical policies. He must struggle to survive with only an unfamiliar strain of magic to aid him. There is a secret to this magic. One he knows very little about. He intends to explore just what makes this magic special. On the far border of the theocracy, a mage scientist named Inis discovers a revolutionary new way to infuse strength from defeated blightbeasts. Using herself as a test subject, this process allows her to grasp magical concepts previously thought beyond her reach. Though she tries to document any side effects that arise, something escapes her awareness. She is playing with a dangerous force that will claim her most treasured asset if she isn't careful. Everyone and everything on the planet is a part of the experiment. The experiment is a lie.
