Stick War: Inamorta and beyond

Chapter 41: City Of Blood

18th March, 7.07am

Kim's POV

I've seen hell.

I've seen hell.

I see flames, in a field. I was lying on the scorched ground, staring into the night sky with my soulless eyes. The smell of burned grass filled the air along side burning trees. I thought I was done for, until a man came running towards my lifeless body.

The man was smiling at me. Tears rolling down his eyes and onto my cheek.

"Thank god, thank god. I managed to save one." He said as he pulled me closer into an embrace, tears still coming down from his eyes.

As he sobbed, he hugged my body tightly.

I was in pain. But I feel warmth, he gave me that warmth.

He saved me.

He was my hero.

I woke up. That dream, was a memory. It was when I was saved by my adoptive father. That's right, I was adopted. I never knew my real parents, but I don't care. My parents now took a good care of me, though my foster father have already passed, my foster mother still took good care of me. I had no regrets.

I grabbed my chest. That dreadful day was burned into my heart, I was unable to forget that hellish night.

It has been ten years since that night. I have grown stronger, I became a soldier and was sworn to protect the Order Empire. Becoming a Hero Of Order, is now my goal.

I will protect my friends and family, I will drive away anything that threatens them.

I got up from my sleeping bag and got dressed in my uniform. I also grabbed my spear and my bag. Before I left my tent, I looked at Mark, still sleeping away like a log. Ace's sleeping bag was empty. Seems like he got up early. I then walked out of the tent, the warm sunlight embracing my face.

The first thing that I saw was Ace and Elizabeth talking. I looked around and saw Spearton soldiers already keeping their tents and are ready to move.

"Are we moving out soon?" I asked a soldier.

He nodded and ran off to do his duties. Suddenly, a loud roar trembled the ground.

What was that?! It sounded like a giant bear or something. Everyone rushed to the direction of the roar and it seems that the one who did it was the giant that hitchhiked with us.

"BACK OFF HUMAN SCUM! I AM THE GREAT ARAMIS AND YOU DARE POINT YOUR WEAPONS AT ME?!" He roared, swinging his club left and right at a terrifying strength.

"Shield Wall!" A Spearton officer shouted.

The soldiers immediately formed a wall of shields with their spears pointing outwards.

"Stop! Stop it!" I desperately shouted.

But my words were useless, the Spearton soldiers couldn't hear me at all. Out of frustration, I stabbed my spear into the ground. My spear was pierced the ground and released a large shock wave. It made a small earthquake and made all of the soldiers fell down to the ground.

I looked around shocked, my spear has a power this strong? I turned back to the soldiers and shouted.

"Calm down men! Let me talk to the giant!" I shouted.

"What's all the commotion about?" Captain Oliver shouted from the back of the crowd.

I ignored him Ans walked towards the giant.
