Author's Note: I was distracted by a game so a bit later then expected. Sorry about that also it's

RANT TIME: recently I got a "review" of half a star that said my stuff had nothing unique or original. Which in my opinion, something doesn't need something unique or original to be good. Might as well make my MC( Main Character) an orc with a penis growing on his forehead. That's unique and original right? anyhow not only that they called my work mediocre. Which I'm fine with you know. It's his opinion but mediocre means average which to me should be 3 stars not half of one. That and his 'review' had nothing constructive towards my writing. crummy grammar? then tell me where I can Improve. Tell me my mistake so that I can work to fix em. You want a unique and original fiction!? I'll make my MC have both genitalia growing on his forehead. Which in hindsight I'm pretty sure is not original because rule 34 guys.....Sorry I feel if I didn't say anything I wouldn't be able to keep writing. I'm just gonna ignore that and power through to bring my story to you guys. Hope you enjoy it and I'm sad so fist-bump me guys.

As always reviews,ratings,Recommendations,Corrections,Questions and comments are greatly appreciated

Volume 2 Epilogue: Taken

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Liam noticed it the first day. After the bar had been closed he had spent a few hours outside the liquor store. His son hadn’t come back home. He assumed he had spent a night at his little friend’s house. The next day he still hadn’t seen him come back. After a week he began to worry albeit very little. He had made sure the kid could take care of himself. It was the only thing he could do. He knew that he wasn’t a great father. He doubted he could even be called a father. He had failed her yet again. Maybe the kid had grown fed up and ran away. He sat down in his little shack and took another swig of from the box of cheap beer he had bought. He noticed a ring attached to a necklace on the floor. He picked it up.

He was fine with his son forsaking him but forsaking his mother. That was crossing the line. So he ran to the little friend's place. He racked his brain thinking of every little detail about Elden’s friend Michael and the whereabouts of said home.

He knocked on the sub-urban-esque door. A man in his 50’s opened the door.

“How can I help you?” asked the older man tiredly.

Liam noticed the man’s mood.

“I’m just looking for my son, Elden, I heard he was good friends with your son.”

Michael’s father looked at Liam, confused.

“The entire class has been missing for more than a week.”

In Liam’s drunken stupor he had failed to notice the biggest story in this city. The disappearance of an entire class. The only witness was the class’s teacher who claimed a bright light blinded him and when his vision recovered the students had disappeared. Suspicion was initially placed on the teacher for their disappearance but there wasn’t enough evidence to convict him.

Liam ran to the school. It was too late now but that didn’t stop him as he easily crossed over the school gates. He sprinted towards the classroom.

“Damn it!”

He could still feel the Energy residue. He looked down at the ring that belonged to the women he loved. Grasping it in his hand. It seemed Elden had been taken.

Liam returned to his shack under the freeway. It seemed the police had never visited him due to the fact that they couldn’t find Elden’s address. He walked in and lifted up one of the floor boards towards the edge of the House. Inside was a simple wooden box. He opened the box and checked it’s contents. Another ring was placed inside it, except this one unlike his own ring, was far less regal in its looks and lacked any gems. He then pulled out a long and large object wrapped up in a white cloth. He unwrapped it and revealed a large ornate claymore .

Liam then set out to find and return his son.

◇

John Montem is a 6ft3 male with blue eyes and brownish blonde hair on his right is a 5ft7 girl with reddish/green eyes and amber colored hair named Riley Mare. Both of them were staring in awe at the spectacle going on in front of them, they watched as the friendly pretty boy Elden took down a monster in an extremely short amount of time John looked at Riley and said “Riley that guy seems to be much better at sword fighting than me.” Riley looked at John aghast and said “THAT was what you were thinking?” both of them were in awe of Elden’s immense battle powers and decided they needed to know him better. As to why these two weren’t shocked by what they saw? Both John and Riley had attended the same private school when they were kids. The school offered things like sword fighting, archery, and martial arts as electives.Of Course when John moved she—Riley— followed him So John and Riley were well versed in combat leading to them being more in awe of Elden than fearful of him.

John had stood back with Riley when the boys encircled Hnev. Their previous combat training had all been practice so when they first encountered the Goblins they had been scared. They were ashamed of themselves. Now though they were a bit more used to bloodshed but this was something else entirely, They grabbed each other’s hands. Maybe just maybe they might be able to make it back home together with someone strong like Elden.

At that time Zachary who too was standing back with the girls.5ft ‘11 Short Black hair, Brown eyes, he is considered to be a selfish person who only helps out for some form of compensation. He wasn’t about to go get himself killed and leave Mareen alone. Mareen is 5ft6 with a bob cut, black hair, and green eyes She was always a very quiet girl and without Zach she’d have spent her days reading books. She was essentially a walking encyclopedia but speaking with other people wasn’t her strong suit.

Elden then started cutting the Demon general several times.while spouting crummy one-liners as he killed the Demon General. Zachary felt like it might be a safe bet to get in good with Elden.

Glenn stood there watching the boy with long blonde hair while the ceremony started. He was the ambassador to the Kovolava Kingdom from the Eastern Kingdom of Vichodni.

His Kingdom had once been great until the separation of the churches happened. The war of churches cost the Vichodni Kingdom it’s royal family. The benevolent King, His wife the Hero-Saint and their young child killed by the church. They who had gone against the doctrine of the church were killed for speaking up for the rights of non-humans and as if that wasn’t bad enough, they also spoke out against the Holy crusades against the Demon Kingdom. They even sought peace with the demons. In the end his kingdom slowly crumbled losing the support of the Church of Lehky. The people unable to follow any just ruler. There was no figure to unite them and bring prosperity.

Glenn now had to deal with this king of Kovolava who had summoned heroes. He had tried speaking to these heroes in order to get a few to defect to his own kingdom but his pursuits were stopped by the King of Kovolava.

Yet he continued to stare at this girl? No judging from the armor he was definitely a boy. He was pretty enough to rival most Noble girls but he seemed familiar to Glenn. He was reminded of someone but he couldn’t put his finger on who this “Goldilocks” resembled. It wouldn’t hurt to get this boy to talk to Glenn.

Then a Demon General attacked. Unlike the other diplomats Glenn didn’t run. There wasn’t much to live for. So he watched as this kingdom’s Knights died. He felt nothing as a few of the Heroes were cut down.

so they weren’t that strong?

Then the Heroes started the counter-attack led by “Goldilocks” but in the end He was grabbed by that long hair and thrown although he had completed his objective and gave time to his comrade to prepare his attack.

Not bad.

If he could get that young man who dealt the finishing blow to defect to his country. He could serve as a rallying figure for the people and a valuable war asset as the kingdom bordered The Demon lands. Maybe with Glenn’s help this young lad with brown hair and good looks could become king.

The demon laughed unhurt and the brown-haired youth fell on his back. His face filled with despair.

Well so much for king.

Then “Goldilocks” stood back up and cut his hair. He then proceeded to kill the demon General easily as if toying with him. It seemed Glenn’s previous intuition had been correct. He made it his number one priority to greet this “Goldilocks”.
