Chapter 21: The Phoenix Killer

Kastarthest, West

'Human, we should find a shelter first before it gets dark.' Cyrus said to joner as he speeds up. Joner nodded at him, agreeing with his idea. The sun was about to set, they need to find a shelter real quick.

"Sa tingin mo ba, natanggap ni song ang message na ipinadala natin?" Joner asked the dragon matapos ang isang nakakabinging katahimikan. The dragon remained silent, already knew the answer about his question. Joner let out a sighed at the unresponsive dragon as he stares at the orange sky slowly turning into darkest shade of black.

Joner almost jumped in surprise ng biglang tapikin ni cyrus ang kanyang kaliwang balikat using one of his claws.

'Did you sensed that?' Cyrus asked him. Joner turned to looked at him in confusion, but cyrus did not speak further. Joner decided to seek the answer for his own as he focuses on his surrounding, trying to feel what cyrus was implying.

Not a minute had passed when he felt a presence at one of the trees below them moves.

Not one, but five different presence.

Cyrus swiftly turned to his left. Nearly missing a sharp flaming arrow. Akala ni joner wala ng susunod, but he was wrong. Arrow after arrow was sent to their direction. Cyrus almost struggled to avoid them all. Fortunately, he was able to avoided the arrows without a single injury.

"Flamming arrow...don't tell me they are the..." joner trailed off.

'Five royal guardians yes, and based on the situation right now, we are their main target.' Cyrus answered for him.

"The last time I checked they are serving under the prince...is the prince perhaps---" cyrus cuts him before he can continue his claim.

'No, I have a feeling they are not serving under the domecastle anymore.' Cyrus is known for his intelligence and sharp eyes, he can tell by looking at their armor, they are not under the prince's rule anymore. He lived almost a thousand years, kaya tandang tanda nya ang mga bawat armour na suot ng all kingdoms.

'They are sent by the council.' Cyrus said when he finally came in conclusion na hindi belong ang armour na suot nila sa isa sa mga kingdoms throughout the world, there is only one possible left and that is the council.

Joner almost dropped from the dragon when he heared this. Okay pa sana kung galing ito sa domecastle because he can sort this out with theodore pero from the council?! Since when napunta ang five royal guardians sa council? Being wanted by the council only means one thing, death.

Five royal guardians are known as a group of great magic users and swordsmen. They are the best five and the strongest of every kingdoms. Now, you may think 'Who's in the higher rank then? The general or the five royal guards?' Simple, kung walang general, sino ang magpapatakbo ng five royal guardians? They may not part of the warriors in the battlefield, but they are still under the general's command or the king himself. Parang sumunod sila sa general if you based it from lowest to highest rank. Tsaka ginagamit lang ang five royal guardians if the mission is too hard and risky, they are the last straw for killing off the enemies.

'Change of plans, we can't visit song with the five royal guardians after us, we will only bring danger to her.' Cyrus said with a serious tone. Joner thought of this and the dragon was right, ayaw nyang mapahamak si song or madagdagan pa ang threat sa buhay nya.
