(Tord X Reader) Blood Covered Roses

Chapter 22 Platinum

(Paul's POV)
I asked everyone in the army, including Red Leader and his lover, nobody knew who the child belonged to.. after the nurses looked at the baby, they concluded that it was a female, just a few weeks old. So young. Who would just leave her in a pond like that?

-timeskip Still Paul's POV-

Later on in the day, we found out that the child belonged to the last soldier of the Platinum Army, or at least we think the last soldier. There could be more.. Things just keep getting weirder and weirder around here. I thought all the platinum soldiers were dead. Despite no bodies behind found.. even their base and castle had completely vanished from the foundation. Leaving flat, blank hills. This means that the platinum soldiers are still alive, or at least one of them. This led Red Leader to ask questions, I can still hear them. . .
"Where on earth have they been hiding?"
"Why was the kid in the pond?"
"How many Platinum solders are alive?"
All of his questions were good questions, questions that needed to be answered. But how would we? If this platinum soldier is still alive, we need to figure out where they are, not just to return their child, but to figure out if anybody else is alive. . .

(Tord's POV)
As the sun began to set that day, I decided to take a walk in the woods, maybe I would find more evidence of the Platinum Army being alive, and hopefully well. I was rather fond of their army, if I'm being honest. They knew what being soldiers really meant. That army was considered royalty. They got the same amount of respect as the higher-up leaders did. Which says a lot when you think about it. As I walked alone in the woods, I came to a cliff. Since it was a hill, I couldn't see anything over the cliff or below it. By now, I had wondered very far from my castle.. I had lost track of where I was walking. And I now realize that. I walked to the edge, and saw what I can only describe as ghostly. No, I hadn't seen a spirit. Nor a ghost. //same thing\\ I saw.. a castle, but not one that I recognized. This castle was in ruins, but most of the roof was still there. This cast was huge, and it looked extremely royal compared to mine, and everyone else's. Including the higher-ups. There were no flags, and from what I could see, no life. But you know what they say, curiosity killed the leader. That's never once stopped me. I decided to take a look. I found a way to safely get down the cliff, once I got down I stood in front of the massive castle, it was much bigger than mine. It looked like nobody had been here for decades, and that was most likely true. From what I can see, it looks like there had been a battle there. A battle that the owners of this castle had lost. As said before, there were no flags. So I wasn't able to recognize who the original owners were. I took the gun that was slung over my back off, so I could hold it, in case I wasn't truly alone. I entered the castle, everything was destroyed, the furniture, the walls, parts of the ceiling, everything. as I walked through the castle, I found some rather amazing looking swords. Some had engravings in them, while others had encryptions. The rest were different, in my eyes they were unique. I decided to take the swords that I was fond of, it didn't seem like anybody was here. So why not. As I walked into what I can only assume was the throne room, The door slammed shut behind me.. I grabbed my phone and tried turning it on, it was dead. And I didn't have a flashlight with me.. I was breathing heavily, I wasn't able to see my attacker. Before I could do anything, a match was lit. . .
"Platinum Leader?.."
