Galam's Chronicles

Chapter 10

Roy:And now, as a friend, I ask you to rest, now it's my turn to fight this guy.

Eros looked at Roy, touched by his friend's words and the determination in his eyes. He realized that he didn't have to carry the burden alone and that he could rely on his friends for support.

Eros: *grateful* Thank you, Roy. I'm lucky to have a friend like you.

Roy: *smiling* And I'm lucky to have you as my friend too, Eros. Now, it's my turn to protect you. You need to rest and recover.

With that, Roy stepped forward, ready to face the soldier on his own. Eros hesitated for a moment, torn between wanting to protect his friend and knowing that Roy was more than capable of handling himself.

Eros: *concerned* Roy, be careful. He's dangerous.

Roy: *confidently* I will, Eros. Trust me, I've been training for this.

Eros nodded, placing his trust in his friend. He stepped back to catch his breath and recover from the exhausting battle he had fought earlier.

Roy: *firmly* I won't let you harm my friends any longer.

The soldier sneered, underestimating the young boy before him. But Roy's determination and skill took him by surprise. The two engaged in a fierce duel, and Roy held his ground, using his magic to enhance his attacks.

As the battle continued, Eros watched with a mix of pride and worry. He was proud of Roy's courage and strength, but he couldn't help but be concerned for his friend's safety.

Eros: *to himself* Come on, Roy. You can do this.

As the battle between Roy and the soldier raged on, Eros couldn't help but worry about his friend's safety. He knew Roy was skilled and determined, but the soldier was a formidable opponent.

Eros: *anxiously* Be careful, Roy. You've got this.

With a well-timed strike, Roy disarmed the soldier and knocked him to the ground.

Soldier:*Thought* Impossible, he's just a kid, how does he have all this strength?

As the soldier lay on the ground, stunned by Roy's strength and determination, he couldn't believe that a young boy could overpower him. He had underestimated the power of the magical grove and the strength that Roy drew from it.

Roy stood tall, his chest heaving with exertion, and looked down at the defeated soldier.

Soldier:*thought* Wait a second, but he's the prince of Beherenew, well that explains it all

The soldier gets up and picks up his sword

Soldier: Prince Roy Orthedia, you make my job easier, Count Bellwish wants your head

Roy's eyes widened in shock and disbelief as the soldier revealed his knowledge of his identity. He had kept his royal status a secret during their journey, knowing that it could complicate matters and put his friends at risk.

Roy: (trying to remain calm) How do you know who I am?

Soldier: (smirking) Information travels fast, especially when you're the prince of Beherenew. Count Bellwish has a substantial bounty on your head, and I intend to claim it.

Eros stepped closer to Roy, ready to defend his friend.

Eros: (resolutely) You won't lay a hand on him. I won't let you harm Roy.

The soldier chuckled, finding amusement in their determination.

Soldier: (tauntingly) It's adorable how you kids think you can stand against the likes of Count Bellwish and his forces. You should have left well enough alone.
