The Beacon- A Songs Of War Fanfiction (Rewrite)

Chapter 8

Nalla's p.o.v

The sunlight shines through the leaves of the trees that grow tall around us.

Soon, the trees clear out, revealing a village. There is a vast field, where the wind blows the golden grain, making the entire field sway slightly. On the other side, there is a pond with a small wooden pier, some Voltaris fishing happily there. There is an area where Voltaris are herding animals as well.

I don't think I've been to New Voltaria before. I've heard stories about how pretty it is, but this is a sight to behold. I can't imagine how beautiful it must have been when it was still overgrown and taken over by nature.

A female Voltaris walks past us, carrying some haybales. ' Ky' Ria!'

' Hey, Alyssa,' Ky' Ria greets her.

' It's been a while since you've come by,' Alyssa says, ' By the way, how's Zylus doing in Sendaria?'

' He's fine, how have you been?'

' Just living the mundane life in New Voltaria, helping my parents out at the fields a lot,' Alyssa lifts the haybales she had been carrying.
' It's a lot of work, but in the end, my parents have less burden on their shoulders. Anyway, what are you doing here?'

' I need to meet up with Senn,' Ky' Ria tells her.

' Sorry, but Master Senn left with the Enderqueen and one of the Enderknights earlier this week, but I can inform you when he returns.'

' That would be very much appreciated,' Ky' Ria thanks her.

' You're welcome,' she looks behind Ria, ' Who are they? Wait- is that…?'

' That's Kaeleon Nestoris,' Ky' Ria says, already knowing who she might be referring to, ' He's the Tidesinger's son. Believe me, I was as surprised as you are.'

' I'm definitely surprised.'

' Ria, I think we should go straight to the other masters,' Master Sylvia tells Ky' Ria, ' We can tell Senn all about this later.'

Ky' Ria nods, ' I guess you're right. We have to take action as soon as possible anyway.'

Keiran's p.o.v

With a loud boom, all the lights from the beacon go away, and plasma discharges across the wooden platform before dissipating.

I look around at the city of Felora, the capital of Felden.

At least I ran into Almrak, so I didn't have to take that entire journey by foot, since he could afford the iron ingots that I couldn't.

' Where to next?' Almrak asks.

' I think we could go to the Mahoa docks, then take a boat to Riverstead. If we go through the jungle, there could be undead attacking us at night.'

Almrak sighs, ' We seldom see undead these days, they possibly don't exist in Ardonia anymore back in where I'm from, after the hunts Relina held because she feared the undead would be a threat since Withers can control undead. But now there aren't anymore Withers.'

' Well, that is quite a good strategy,' I admit.

' They were also quite annoying,' Almrak adds.

' They always are.'

We have been on boat for a few days, and it finally docks at Riverstead. We get off the boat, and head for the city.
