Of Love and War

Return ii

Gates of Asnamon

"Amihan run!" Raquim shouted at his daughter who just emerged from the portal

An assassin of Hathoria is dashing towards the young diwani and tried to stab her but Amihan is agile enough to smack the assassin's hand and kicked her in the gut

"Father!" Amihan ran and did a roundhouse kick on Hagorn, pushing the hathorian king back, pulling his sword out of Raquim's body

Raquim touched his shoulders, he knows that wounds inflicted by Elores is something that can't be healed even with their innate self-regeneration ability

"Amihan, I want you to run as fast as you could away from here. I'm sure Lirean soldiers will try and look for you" Raquim pushed Amihan away but the young diwani is persistent in staying with her father

"Father, I won't leave you here. I will help. I promise I won't be of any burden" Amihan started to cry as she saw her father's blood drip down his arms

"I know, I've seen you fight earlier and I'm proud to say that you've grown into a one fine warrior. But there are times that even the greatest of the warriors needs to retreat" Raquim put his forehead against Amihan's as he blocked an attack from a Hathor

"No Father, I won't leave you here" Amihan disobeyed Raquim's command and started attacking the hathors nearing them

"The girl has potential my lord" Agane told Hagorn as they watch the father and daughter tandem fight for their lives

"That young diwani surely delivers what is expected from the royal lirean bloodlines" Hagorn answered

"A pity she won't be able to realize the full extent of her power after we kill them here" Agane let out a chuckle

"A pity indeed" Hagorn said as he joined the fight

The King of Hathors slashed his way into Raquim. Their swords met with every energy they had. Elores glowing fiery red while Arkrey shone with a golden light.

"Now the time to end this nonsense Hagorn" Raquim barked

"If by nonsense you mean your life, then I do agree with you!" Hagorn said as he pushe Raquim and gained distance before they went into a speedy battle.

Only the sparks coming from their blades were noticeable. Even Agane and Amihan were barely even able to keep up

"Die diwata!" another hathorian assassin attacked Amihan. She docked and was able to dodge the blade swung at her for only a few inches. It's as if the wind alerted her that an attack is coming at her

Amihan started to go into full offense as well, switching from her muay thai style to wushu style of fighting. Her every moves connecting with grace and finesse

"Mashna-de, the young diwani is simply too good for normal soldiers and it's as if the wind is in her favor, her attacks come with a gale that cuts through our armor" a soldier reported to agane

"Pashnea! I don't need weaklings in my ranks" Agane said after she stabbed the soldier in the eye, her Hasik piercing through the skull of the hathorian soldier

Hagorn and Raquim's fight brought them near a cliff, overlooking a huge ravine where a river with strong rapids is waiting below

They were equal in terms of fighting ability but the difference in strength is noticeable because of Raquim's wound. The hathors have gathered around them, like they were watching a game of death

"Kill him my lord!"

"Behead that sapirian!

Shouted the hathors
