Arc I Chapter 9
━━━━━━┛༻❁༺┗━━━━━━
“So what shall I do with you ⁓? Any suggestions ⁓?” Aurora tilted her head, playing for time. Her cute headsie worked really hard, like really really hard. Her singsong voice taunted the enemy while maintaining her cute act. Teasing them was so much fun and prolonging the fight was in her best interest as time was on her side.
Her mana adapted and stabilised. Coursing through her veins, its subtle presence grew stronger. Deep within her, her magic slumbered buried. Dormant, unresponsive, her magic ignored her call in these dire times. Her powers, so close, yet so far. Her attempts to access her powers, to break them free from their stasis, failed. Her new body rejected her mana.
“You were naughty naughty boys ⁓. And naughty boys need to be punished ⁓. Attacking a little girl in the middle of the night, how despicable ⁓.” Aurora shook her head. “You truly disappoint me, have you no honour left ⁓?” Her words incited the enemy.
The sea of deadly glares she received were wonderful. The wish to see her buried beneath the ground was palpable. They really wanted her dead.
Guenther clenched his fist. His knuckles turned white. Undiluted hatred burned inside him. Bottomless hate devoured his heart and clouded his mind. This girl ... Confronted with such arrogance, he felt nothing but utter disgust. They were Arcadian royal knights, and they were played by a bloody little girl. ... unacceptable. They had their pride. He would kill her and he would savour every single moment.
“Stop ... messing ... with ... us!” Guenther glared. Passionate hatred banished his exhaustion. Captain Alarich always says that a knight should retain their professional calm under all circumstances. He was wrong. He never met this girl.
“How am I messing with you ⁓? I am not sure what you are talking about ⁓?” The girl tilted her head.

“...”
“You vastly overestimate your own importance, my friend. I am not messing with you. Not at all. Minor existences such as yours are not even worth to be messed with to begin with. You are like the dirt beneath my heels, utterly ... irrelevant. Know your place, plebeian scum. Don't waste my time and get lost.”
Guenther maintained a semblance of control. His hand gripped his sword. “Who do you think you are?”
Her index finger caressed her lips. Her grin answered his question. “Just wait and you will see. Be a good boy and be patient ⁓. Because it's my turn ⁓. I will show you fools the power of true magic.”
Aurora raised her arm. Her enemies held their breath. They waited for her to make her move. All their attention was focused on her. It was her time to shine.She made them wait. She kept them wriggling trapped in their limbo of uncertainty. Seconds passed amidst the falling rain, seconds that felt like eternity. Time came to a halt.
“Watch and learn.” Aurora snapped her fingers.
...
...
...
Nothing happened. Her magic misfired ...
Aurora snapped her finger again.
...
...
...
Nothing happened. Her magic still malfunctioned ... Problematic.
Third time was the charm. Aurora snapped her fingers.
...
...
...
“... dammit.” Her annoyance was written all over her face. Her results remained the same. Still no reaction. No magic at all. Her dysfunctional mana produced only tiny sparks. This wasn't ... exactly ... planned. Maybe this was the right time to execute a tactical retreat.
Her eyes glimpsed sidewards. Running appeared like a good option. The tree line was close. Her legs could easily reach the safety of the forest if she timed her escape well. A few moments of distraction were everything she needed.
...
...
...
Aurora offered an uneasy laugh. “Listen, guys, maybe you can wait a moment ⁓. Just give me a few minutes and I will be ready, promised ⁓.”

A wall of deadly glares met her. Unsurprisingly, they didn't have much sympathy for her plight.
...
...
...
“Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!” Guenther charged. He chose a frontal assault, foregoing any sense of tactical finesse. His men followed him.
Aurora remained calm despite the plausible prospect of being chopped into little pieces. This wasn't her first rendezvous with death, nor would it be her last one. She knew her luck only too well.
Even by her standards, the odds were rather ... unfavourable. The enemy closed in. The enemy was fast, significantly faster than her, leaving her with no choice but to fight.

War, Honor and Vengeance
In a world where there is no right or wrong, justice and injustice, good or evil, it is the world where only the strong persists while the weak slaves. A world filled with lies, treachery and betrayal. There is no two way. Only one way. One way to either Hell or Heavens. Some call it Destiny, some call it Providence, others call it The God’s Will. But I call it Fate. My arch-nemesis. Something so invisible, out-of-reach and strong, that no matter how much you fight, there seems no end. But tell me, will you succumb to your fate, as others rise on it. Tell me, will you let your family, your children, your wives be slaughtered and slaved on this so-called Fate. No. War. In a world where lives are nothing more than livestock, either you rise up and rule in passion or go down in flames. Will you stay mum and accept this so-called Fate and be slaughtered by your enemies, or will you rise up. Wealth, fame, fortune, desires are not ever-lasting. Only War is eternal. Vengeance. In a world where with no rights and wrong, the weak would be preyed upon while the strong will wreak havoc. But, will you accept your fate of being weak…. No. You rise up and exact revenge for all the wrongs done to you. You rise for Vengeance. Honor. Honor… something which runs deep within our blood, but yet forgotten in dust. Something, so intangible, so frail, yet so over-powering. Villains justify it as useless, Lords deem it as unnecessary and Kings mock it as worthless, but yet, it flows ever so deeply within. Deeply… like our thirst of wealth and power. Without this so-called useless, worthless and unnecessary piece of intangible force, we, as Knights are nothing but mere foot soldiers. So, rise up! Rise Up! RISE UP, my Knights. For War! For Vengeance! For Honor!!!! ………………………………………………………… The release rates are going to be a bit sloppy with my college entrance exams upcoming, so please don’t be angry, my avid readers. I also want to inform you that my college entrance exams are coming up and so, I wont be making regular updates like Im doing now and the chapters will generally be around 1.5-1.7k. Along with that, Im inclined to inform you that, the story will be progressing slowly, so be ready to wait. The promised release date will be every Tuesday, generally at 7:00pm (IndianST) and there will be a guarantee of 7 chapters per week. Not one bit less but if you want more, well ...well...

The Fall of The Gods
Synopsis: In the year 1966, an army of Orishas led by Sango stormed Amadioha’s palace and razed it the ground, starting a decades-long war between two of Nigeria’s most powerful divine orders. Blinded by the rage of battle, the gods did not detect the rise of a third power, far greater and deadlier than anything they could have imagined. When gods, on both the Yoruba and Igbo sides, begin falling mysteriously to their death, Sango seeks the help of Odion, a Lagos teenager destined to rise from his dark past to become a hero. But can a human hero save the gods from a doomed fate? The Fall of the Gods is an action-packed YA fantasy based on the mythical bond that ties human life with the realm of the divine. It demonstrates the power of stories to change our lives. It also reminds us that Sango and Amadioha are not relics of the past and that, sometimes, what it means to be a hero in today’s world is knowing how to find inspiration in the stories of the gods. PLEASE NOTE: Weekly chapters will be released every friday along with interludes once in a while about Nigerian mythology. I'm a young 17 year old writer and I am new to the site so I will appreciate your comments and reviews. Thank you very much.
