Limit Of Fortune

Chapter 23

Chapter 23

The centaur is distressed now that his little fish is in the danger of getting it hurt by her repulsive father. Julian sits by the pond staring at the water thinking about his beloved and Glacies and how he's going to get back the girls he loves.

He is dragged out of his thoughts by Ílios lightly touching his shoulder and sitting on the rocks gracefully. Julian glares at her then looks at her hand still placed on his shoulder. Ílios got the hint and took her hand off and placed it on her lap.

Ílios breaks the silence saying " My sister... She - she loves you Julian. I see the way she looks at you and the way you look at her. Thats how Triberus looked at me."

Julian looks down and his gray beanie he now holds in his hands. With his brown hair showing blonde streaks in the rays of the now lowering sun.

"why are you telling me this? You should be beyond livid with me!" Julian stood up looking down at the sister and continues, "I let your little sister the soon to be Queen of Ficta Somnium and your acting like she will be okay and there's no need to be worried for her well-being!" Julian puts his beanie back on and pushes the bangs the threatened to fall into his face away.

Ílios stands up also and says " Julian your blinded by anger right -"

"I was supposed to be guarding Glacies and I was here with Luna instead. I turned my back for a second and she got captured. Luna got captured right in front of me she was in my arms and she gotten taken from me. I want them back." Julian interrupted.

"I want my sister back but you must understand my father is an awful man and has people do his dirty work for him. We must kill the witch in the sky Acranum to be able to reverse and curse she put on. Then my father will be defenseless with only his human army. We must do that first before anything!"

Julian takes a deep breath and says "okay let's go kill Arcanum then find Luna and Glacies. And then we kill your father and set Luna on the throne..." Julian concluded and walked off to tell the others.

After the trek to the castle the small group sneak into the castle. Julian using his bow and arrows and his knife tucked into his boot. Ílios using her sword she found back at Glacies castle when they were looking for the weapons

Julian grabs an arrow from his quiver lodging it into one of the royal guard's chest. Then he grabs another one knots it on his bow and pulls back and aims for the other guard in the roof that also has an arrow shooting him down. Making the guard fall over the edge of the roof into the ground. As of now Julian is not one to be messed with.

The group continues through the castle making sure to avoid the horned witche's lair. Julian spots one of Glacies Nix's and follows it to a stair case.

Ílios goes first with Flamula and Bellus close behind. While Julian runs over to the other side of the cells. To trap the evil man.

The king spots Ílios and grabs Luna off the ground. His arm wrapped around her neck with a knife on her stomach as a warning if they step closer he will not be afraid to plunge it into her.

Julian sneaks behind the king as he knots an arrow on his big brown bow. And pulls the string back. The king pushes Luna against the bars. And pushed the knife into her back. Luna yells out in pain as her blood starts to pool on the floor. Julian lets go of the string of his bow killing the king instantly.

Julian runs over to were Luna lays with her head on his lap. Luna's brown eyes stare as in looking at something in the distance. Her eyes slowly drift to Julians and she smiles and mumbles out "How are you? Are you hurt?" Julian chuckles lowly and opens his mouth to say something but then shuts it again.

Julian was so busy with Luna he didn't notice someone let Glacies out. She walks over to him and says, "Julian her injures will surely kill her..."
