The Dragon Chronicles: In Twisted Time

Chapter 6 - The Crossover

(This one is short. I don't know why Patrick make this filler chapter. Happy reading!)

Gathered in their room, trying to regain energy as they rest, the guards of Saint Haven are talking with each other to somehow relieve the stress of their work.

" Hahahahaha", the guards are laughing so hard that they didn't notice Jerhald behind them.

" Okay guys, rest time is over, time for work", Jerhald said.

The king has ordered an 8-man team consisting of some of the guards with Jerhald acting as their leader to deliver crates to Prairie Town. These crates contains newly crafted weapons, which must be delivered to the warriors and archers," These must not fall into the wrong hands", these are the words mentioned earlier by the king to Jerhald.

As they walk to the forest leading to the town, they were attacked by a group of orcs.

"Leave the crates to us and your life will be spared," said their leader.

"Justice Crash!"

Without any hesitation, Jerhald soared into the air and he rapidly crash down, dealing significant damage to the surrounding enemies and stunning them in the process.

"He didn't even warned them," said one of the guards.

"Don't even dare to challenge us again," said the other.

"Let's leave them, I think they have learned their lesson," said Jerhald.

They were about to leave but then, Jerhald felt something strange.The clouds started to cover the sky. Strong winds started to blow the leaves of the trees. Darkness is slowly covering the forest. 

"Look over there!" shouted by one of the terrified soldier.

As their instincts told them, they gripped their weapon and went into a battle stance as Jerhald cast buffs. They saw a hooded man carrying a large hammer. The knees of the guards are shaking in fear. As the man passed by, the stunned orcs started to scream in pain, and they slowly died, one after the other.

He walked right through the 8-man team. None of the guards attempted to attack him. Even Jerhald didn't attack him. It may be because they are in a defensive stance, or it can be also due to the fact that the man didn't attack them. Nobody knows the reason behind. But one thing is true, their hearts pumped faster than usual, and fear run through their veins.

The hooded man is now far away, and the 8-man team were left exhausted, as if they battled a fierce dragon.
