Alténis, with watery eyes got up in a second and confronted Cahill:
-"Son of a bitch! You fucking knew you bastard." He fell, still feeling weak just by remembering.
-"Ahahaha! I do knew. But....-"He laughed, and his smile disappeared by a punch from the wounded elf, right to his face.
Altenis collapsed to the floor, crying and screaming questions only I had the answer to.... Then Cahill made a proposition to him, one that even I feared when he did it....
-"But you can retaliate." Cahill said, blankly, while rubbing his face.
-"Why should I trust you, asshole." Alténis said, sobbing.
-"You got anything else to loose whiny child? Grow the fuck up, I saved you from death or even being buried alive. You were fucking unconscious." Cahill said, with a taunting tone and laughing face.
-"Fuck you." Alténis replied.
Cahill smiled.
Meanwhile Aldania advanced forces when Kroarl reported with the head of his former lover on the bag, they retook Daibasa and began putting some forces in the area, as well as recovering and rescuing the war prisoners and slaves, laborers that were part of the army. The town of Daibasa, was entirely destroyed, eradicated, nothing, not even houses were standing.... The only people alive in Daibasa now were Aldanian forces.... It was a massacre. The town was rebuilt into the ruins, with small forts and other guard posts, a small port that gathered enough army forces to continue leveling every city in Crodomac, nonstop. The Crodomac forces were also killed quickly since they had no orders, no Chief, no successor, nothing. Months passed until only the capital and 2 other towns left standing, the armies stopped and decided to make a truce, which the Crodomans refused, the rest of the island seeing the injustice tried to conduct another Calling, which Aldania refused, leading to the other islands to protect Crodomac, at that point, Aldania stopped, their army could have been powerful, but not big to battle against all the islands at the same time. The son of another Chief of another island took charge of Crodomac in the meantime while they tried to make Aldania take political reasoning and stop the attacks. Kroarl, after showing his loyalty was banished from Aldania, not even getting paid for his job and stripped even from his place on Aldania. He then retreated to Exiiria, the safest place in Tironduk by now. He then there, conceived a child by accident, whom he named Zoarl, and contacted the Leaders of Exiiria, which gave him the mission to kill the Aldanian leader and stop the wars that he himself started. He was branded a terrorist but this was his redemption, to stop what he indirectly began. Knowing that killing his former lover was not good for the fruits and consequences it had, he accepted and began infiltrating in Aldania as a trader and making his way up the forces until he could find him.... He eventually went up enough to be Aldania's Leader's bodyguard force, which consisted of 4 men covered in black robes from the top of their heads to their toes, and wearing purple masks to hide their identities, their weapons were huge, curved, scimitars, and he kept it low until the permission of Exiiria was granted for him to get the kill.
Alténis, presumed dead, put one of his knees on the floor, his face full of scars from training and a smile as big as his face.... Yet having no emotion on it....
-"I hereby declare you ready to your Hunt." Cahill said before spawning a black blade that was extremely hot to the touch of anyone but the wielder.
-"Yes, Father." Alténis said.
-"Stand up, sucker." Alténis stood up, and got kissed on his lips by Cahill, completing the ritual for the Hunt. Alténis looked at Cahill, and made a small bow before leaving. He said goodbye to Ridia and left the Sanctuary. After finding himself in a changed landscape, he felt weird, he asked himself how many months passed... Even the desert had roads paved and some caravaneers from other islands. Everything, even the air was changed, he was feeling out of place, but still concentrated and went to Daibasa. As a stranger some army forces approached, he put his hand over his new sword and went to strike the small groups of soldiers marching towards the capital, he almost strikes the soldiers when he noticed other groups approaching, he stopped and continued his way off to Daibasa, he almost blew his cover off. Cahill appeared out of thin air next to Alténis and started going with him, Alténis was expecting information on his target, The Leader of Aldania, but Cahill stood silent.... Even he did not expect this rapid turn of events, yet it was fascinating to him.
After a few hours they arrived to the outskirts of Daibasa.... Alténis gasped as he saw what Daibasa turned into.... A shithole, almost literally. Cahill looked to the floor, the people he could have sent crazy.... Such a damn waste. They both entered Daibasa City, the new capital of Crodomac. Alténis looked around and they were some prisoners of war from the other towns in Crodomac, chained up like animals and sent up for slave labors. Women and children being sold and bought like stock.... It made his blood boil, and his eyes glow. Cahill smiled all the way, he was amused to see this new level of cruelty. He was enjoying it. Alténis however kept looking around and see other people being raped and being thrown on the ground because they had no money to pay for food, he saw people being stabbed to death by bandits, and lords ordering to behead their slaves for stealing a cup of water. This was the new Order of the day....
