Chapter ten: Injustices and False impressions
Leornars wondered through the town and saw it's habitants were happy and well off, he walked till at afar he saw the Curzon mansion.
" I wonder if there's a way to make the citizens go insane and begin to cause a commotion, ,?" He said coldly as he descended from the hill" sending an undead to invade sounds like it won't work,I haven't tested the capabilities they have,I can find them being weaker than a infant and that would be bad"
He sat at a fountain looking around and saw travelling merchants delivering goods for sale, it was a mixture of household items and foods like wheat, fruit and spices even vegetables. He got up and walked towards the merchant
" How can I help you?" The man politely said
" I was wondering,where do you get your goods from?" Leornars asked
" I get them either from the countryside or the kingdom of Alvalihm, sometimes the nation of Seraphim but on some occasions like droughts, the lord of this town is extremely generous to us merchants ,no additional taxes he's a kind man " the man replied as his carriage drove off.
" I see, so there's another nearby kingdom, I'll just have to do it quickly " he said as he walked out of the town and into the forest ahead, he walked for a few minutes before settling down.
He sat down on a rock and awakened his undead knights
"Awaken!" He said coldly as his voice echoes
The area was surrounded by a dark fog as Bellian appeared together with the other knights, he started to examine them and ordered Bellian to strike a nearby tree. The tree was sliced in two in one hit, Leornars smirked darkly.
" I wonder if my necromancy works on inhuman species or just humans?" He thought as he ordered Bellian and the other knights to go kill some animals and return with the corpses. He sat as they rushed deeper in.
" I'll cause a commotion of monsters attacking the merchants, which will shorten the amount of food which will cause a riot among the citizens, I don't know the number of soldiers in the Curzon mansion, so I need to be careful,my undead are precious commodities" he thought as he heard screeches and bangs and it all stopped. The 138 undead's returned each with two monsters in hand apart from Bellian who had three.
" Good job ,boys" he said as he examined the corpses ,he placed his hand above the corpses
"Awaken from the dead and serve me till the end of days, Awaken!" He commanded as the corpses colour turned from normal to black.
" Bellian I need you to start attacking merchants and travellers before they arrive in the town and stop them from getting out, I don't want anyone leaving or entering, I need starvation and chaos to arise " Leornars gave the order as Bellian bowed , he started to walk back to town.
" Bellian is far capable of doing that much alone but with help he'll be ok" he thought, Leornars spent the next three days in the town, the people were going through a transit , Leornars in the inn he rented looked at the mirror and realised his hair had blood it was red not the white.
" I was wondering why noone was cold to me" he thought
Outside a man was being carried by others in a cloth,wounded badly,
" Another injured by those black demons in the woods" a man said sadly
" What is the lord thinking,he should have already send the soldiers to get rid of them" another said
" I bet he's dinning peacefully without a care" another said, Leornars smirked
" Fourteen merchants have been killed in three days,we have only a day of food left before we starve" a woman who sold Leornars the apple said
" We should march up there and see for ourselves" one suggested and the others cheered on
"Yeah , that's fine spirit" Leornars said slowly
The citizens grabbed pitchforks and hoes and marched into the Curzon mansion, banging at the gate while shouting.
" Cmon you can do better than that!" Leornars urged them, one man picked up a rock and threw it breaking the glass of the window.
" Perfect!" Leornars thought,he walked hurriedly outside the town and summoned back Bellian
" Go kill a warthog in the forest and bring it to me" Leornars ordered as Bellian rushed in the forest and in two minutes returned with a middle sized warthog.
" Good job, just do as I asked,I'll be back shortly" Leornars said taking the warthog and carrying it on the hilltop to the Curzon mansion.
The people saw Leornars carrying a warthog some grew more angry
" He even had time to order a meal!!!" One man shouted as he rushed to Leornars grabbing the meat and threw it inside
" Come get your meal you disgusting pig!" He shouted angrily and threw a rock , the lord of the town came holding his sword.
" Citizens please calm down, let's talk like adults" lord Curzon said calmly
"TALK ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND?!"you expect us to calm down while we starve and you order more food for yourself " the man shouted
" More food? What food?" The lord asked
"So you're playing damn ,ok !" The man said calmly as he swung a rock hitting the lord on the head making him bleed
" Die you ugly pig" he shouted, then unexpectedly cries are heard from the towns it was Leornars's undead attacking the citizens , they didn't kill but destroyed houses and shops m
" Immobilize The knights" one man shouted
" I can't,they are all in the royal capital searching for a white haired boy who the king wants captured" the lord said tearfully.
" I sent all of them three days ago" the lord added
Leornars crept in by the wall and into the mansion,he walked slowly and he summoned Bellian and three other knights for backup.
They walked slowly and looked in every room till a voice said behind them " are you one of those pigs outside the gate? Or my new puppy?" The little girl asked, Leornars turned to her grinning and walked to her grabbed her hair and smashed her to the wall.
" Tell me where's the girl who is captured by the lord?" He asked gently
" Die" the girl replies,his grin fades as he takes out the dagger and stabbed her palm, removed the dagger and stabbed her other palm.
" Hmmmm" he said, she screamed out in pain
" Careful or I might accidentally cut your tongue off" Leornars said coldly as he stabbed her wrist,she cried out,he placed it on her back and started to curve out,she screamed out.
" Don't think I don't know how you treated demi humans, you tortured them till they die , you don't feed them,all you do is hurt them, so how does it feel?" Leornars said coldly as he sliced her face with the dagger. And Bellian grabbed her throwing her outside,dead.
" Oh, she didn't say where the girl was " he said casually as they continued walking till a scream is heard from outside
It was the lord he saw his daughter dead, the lord thought it was one of the citizens,he began to stab them from the gate killing a few before the gate fell down and the citizens got in and began to mutilate the lord,he screamed in pain, Leornars looked out the window and continued his journey.
" The people who you love depend on will one day be your downfall, when a blind man is able to see again he'll throw away the stick that helped him all of his life" Leornars said, he arrived at the basement and Bellian kicked the door open,he got in, Bellian stayed outside.
An ashen white hair girl was tied on the wall,she looked up and saw Leornars, Leornars looked around and saw a bucket of water,he took a container and washed his hair as the blood oozed off his silver hair glitter.
He looked at the girl
" White hair, black horns?" He said
" Help me" the girl said
" Good , you can speak" Leornars said as Bellian came in sliced the cuffs off
" Uncle Belluahn !" She called out as Bellian walked to her and patted her head, Leornars looked at them and coughed
" We don't have time to waste Bellian, let's go" he said, the girl tried to walk but fell
" I guess her body is deprived of strength," he thought
" Bellian carry her " he ordered as Bellian picked her up and they rushed out, the two knights sliced the citizens at the gate
"Awaken" Leornars gathered more as they left the town in to the forest, he sat on the rock
" Now what do I do with her, I don't need anything holding me back" he thought,she sat on a log as Bellian and the other knights vanished in Leornars's shadow.
"Am...am greatful for helping me", she began, Leornars opened his bag and gave her an apple,she looked at it and took it ate it slowly
" Why does it feel like I've adopted her?" Leornars thought
"Once again,I'm greatful, my name is Stacian Von Gremoriah, daughter of..." She began before Leornars cut her off
" So where are you going off to?" He asked
" I don't know, I've been locked up there for four years " she said
" Hmmmmm....tell me what good are you for?" Leornars asked instantly
" I can cook,heal,I have some offensive magic and I posses light magic " she said as she knelt
" Please don't abandon me " she said
" Magic? She is useful after all" he thought
" Ok, get up,till you discover what you want to do in life you will stay around "Leornars said
" Thank you very much, master " she said
"Never, and I mean never call me that ever again " he said coldly,she rose up
" So Gremory," he began
" It's Gremoriah" she said,he looked her in sarcastic expression
" Whatever, we are leaving this kingdom by dawn, wake up late and I'll leave you" he said coldly as he lit a fire with magic.
" The reason I can't overlook her is due to her affinity to light magic,my weakness as stated is light magic,so having one person with such abilities will be a big help to me" he said as he looked at her munching the apple
" We can't waste time,I'm a wanted man and there's a reason for her to be a prisoner too, staying in this shitty country will not be good for both of us" he thought
