The Desperate Mage

~~Flashback to after the second explosion~~

Rain

Drip drip

Drip

Drip

Despite being drenched rex looked down at what he held and just stood

He was not the man who struck fear into his enemies

Now

He was just a man who wishes he can go back

If he could have been faster

If if if

He was better

He kept contemplating what he could have done

He could have found the bastards weakness faster

Could have just not have arrived so early

If he just let the church get what they want they could have just left

He knew his thoughts were wrong

But at least his family

They won have

Flashback few hrs before

”Dad its my birthday will you come back early this time ” Benjamin Kent said

” alright soldier ”said Rex

Lara just looked over and smiled at the 2

”Help me tell Sarah not to play around with my armor ok ” said Rex to Lara

Without waiting for an answer and walked out

Lara just signed and said

”Eyebags he still does get enough sleep he should not have taken this job ” said Lara

Then Sarah opened the door and ran out

”Wheres dad ”happily said Sarah

”Oh you just missed him ” said Lara to the enthusiastic child

”But he promised he won go today that we would play with me ” said Sarah as tear showed signs of falling

” dear dear he told me to tell you that we would play next time ok ” consoled Lara

”Promise ”the consoled Lara said

”Promise ”

~~Flashback ends~~

I shouldn have left

I should have stayed home

I could have handled anything that came their way

I am an incompetent father

an incompetent husband

an incompetent lord

Am no legendary figure am just a

failure

Soldiers arrived at the scene as they neared Rex took out a blade from one aimed at his stomach and stabbed.

So quick that no one on the scene could even react

Crack

Break

The weapon shattered

And handle was squeezed in and collapsed on itself

” Somebody kill me please let me die let me reunite with them please ” cried out Rex

The soldier just look on with silence no one knowing what to say nor do

A very depressive atmosphere

The sadness day the city has ever experience

A stain upon the city known as

ELMOR

10km away from elmor

In an empty cave a man missing most limb and skin burnt to crisp

In a modern age such injuries is almost tantamount to death but as a martial artist rojin life-force was exceptionally strong but at this point if any more damage were to be dealt this man would seize to be among the living.

A few mins later clicked men dressed in green appeared and knelt sir

”There was a few setbacks but this activity can be taken as a success ” said rojin with all the strength he could muster

” take me to base if Slavic can heal me Its safe to say my position as a seat will have to be reconsidered.

In another place

A man bleeding hanging into his life inscribed something to a metallic contraception shaped in the form of a butterfly.

”To max I give the sequence to the magus codex ”

And a message

”We won be alive to take care of you anymore you have to go on without us.

”You a smart kid you almost took our jobs from us ” joked nilrem Eliot

”You are destined for great things don let this event ruin your life ”

”I want this world to know you I want you to make your mark on history you are not meant for obscurity you are meant to shine brighter than the moon the stars and the sky soar like an eagle and land like a dragon ”

” I will miss you but we can control everything but we can control out reaction to what comes so I give you this use it responsibly ”

” that will be all ”

”Goodbye max ”

Tears dropped as the life left the mans eyes

A few mins later a woman next to him barely opened her eyes while crying and help the man object and put in her own words

” nilrem have said all thats to be said ”

”I know you want to know what happened to us ”

” no its not the church that did this their to weak to call something if this magnitude ”

” its something more hidden ”

” more ancient ”

” we made something that made this organisation take action leading to this series of event ”

” one might blame us for causing our demise ”

”And they are not wrong ”

”If we could go back in time ”

”We would make the same decision ”

”Get a beautiful wife get a loving family and discover the secrets of this world ”

”Its in your blood ”

” you will surpass us ”

”You will reach heights we would never ”

”Those are my last words ”

”And our final conversation ”

”Goodbye ma ”

The woman closed her eyes

Morgan Eliot has died

The mech butterfly flies away glowing in the dark night like fire flies

Blue streaks in the dead of night

A beautiful and sad day for the continent

Unknown location

”General our scouts have measured the the door its the largest this continent has ever seen ” said a random soldier

”You can not be serious it can be as large as the demon grounds hole could it ” exclaimed the general

”Not yet but if it keeps on growing it might surpass it ” said the soldier

”How wide is it now ”

The general gloom only asked

”About 4564 feet wide ” reported the soldier

”Ask the empire for reinforcements we are to short staffed to ” said the general before being interrupted by

RAWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

a loud sound came from the direction of the gate

The sound feel down trees

Birds flew the mounts rioted

The ground trembled

”TO ARMS ” screamed the general

In a few secs the soldiers made a formation

The general faced source of sound with 30000 troops at his back

From the depths of space a huge hand arose

As big as hills and wide as lakes

”CHARGGEEEEEEEEE ”

The troops clashed

The weather changed

The Landscape shifted

Rivers of blood were formed

The forbidden zone

The battle of the gate of Styx
