Omega Wars Chronicles

Chapter 140: Real Part 9

  *Mikrea stood up close to Ashuk extended her arm forward which left Ashuk a bit confused.

  "Well, what do you think?" Mikrea asked with a smile as her irises glowed.*

  Currently as Ashuk stared at Mikrea's hand, Mikrea easily caught on the thoughts of Ashuk and scoffed.

  "Of course, as expected, you don't trust me." Mikrea said, "Never trust a devil. Isn't that right?"

  "Give me one good reason why i should trust you." Ashuk said.

  "Your people trusted us many years ago and look at where they are now; they are alive and stronger than before because of us. Imagine what you could achieve if you did the same." Mikrea said.

  "And by doing the same you mean throw myself into servitude." Ashuk said.

  "No. No. We are not asking for service, we are asking for an alliance." Mikrea replied, "Your people already serve us but with you being our ally while leading them, you could protect your people from the danger you saw coming.
   You saw the future, didn't you? This could be your one chance in saving them. Think about it."

   Ashuk scowled at Mikrea and Mikrea smiled at him. Meanwhile Zirus who was still in disbelief of what he had heard and the judgement passed earlier on Ashuk began to speak in his heart.

  "Ashuk... Innocent? But that's not possible. We all saw him leave. We saw him walk out on us during the war. This... This doesn't make any sense."

  Zirus remembered the war between the moabians and the orcs after the great light had spawned. During that time, several moabians laid unconscious on the ground and Zirus raised his head and saw Ashuk walk past him which left him confused. Zirus also noticed the battered Orloc still alive and standing which added more to his confusion.

  "Master, what happened? Why did you cease from finishing Orloc?" Zirus said as he glanced at Ashuk

"I have changed my mind. I am leaving." Ashuk replied.

"What? In the middle of the war? When we are so close to avenging our fallen brethren? Are you saying we should all retreat?!" Zirus asked.

  "This race disgusts me. "Ashuk said as he paused.

  "What?" Zirus said in confusion.

  "So weak. Always relying on me to do everything. From now on, i forsake this useless race." Ashuk said.

  "What...? What are you saying?! No... Wait..." Zirus said.

  "That light..." Zirus said as he recalled the bright light that shone earlier, "It did something..."

  "It's doing something to you!" Zirus said as he walked towards Ashuk, "It's making you act against your will!
  Master, break out of the -!!"

  Ashuk slammed Zirus's head to the ground with his fist and broke the ground in the process.

  "I am your master no more and I do not acknowledge any of you as my people." Ashuk said as he removed his fist from Zirus's face.

"T-this isn't you..." Zirus said weakly, "Master... Please..."

  "Humph." Ashuk said with a smirk as he raised his fist to strike again, "Perish with the rest of these weaklings!!"

   Ashuk punched Zirus again on the face and created a wave that blew several orcs and moabians back.

  After the recollection, Zirus clenched his biceps harder.

  "All of that happened but here he is proven innocent. He left us to die but he is shown to be guiltless. What is going on? What is truly going on?" Zirus asked within.
