CHRONICLES OF WHARI 14

A series  of explosions occurred around the court yard. Multiple ruptures took place, throwing clouds of dust, debris into the air.


Men were flung from the ground, screaming as their bodies were torn to pieces by rocks. The first Rahbrocs broke through the surface. The sight of these monsters  tremored the insides of every sword-wielding man.











"What the F**k.....?" One of the soldiers screamed when he saw the first of the demons.

"Their hearts are at the Centre of their chests,"
Lord  Zahr boomed. " Aim for their hearts"
The Rahbrocs charged.

"Be brave,....and never f**king doubt" Tsunda screamed.

Fhuro flipped into the air and landed in the midst of the demons. In a blur, he hacked off their limbs (which grew back almost instantly)  then stabbed the Kulgan Blade into the chests of Five of  them in a series of swift blows before they could react.  He crashed his entire weight into another demon, impaling it to the ground, before rolling away swiftly to dodge a vicious claw strike from another.








Tsunda's blade found the Chest of a Rahbroc, then another, and then it got stuck in the torso of one of the freaks. She desperately tried to yank it out. But had to let go of her sword when another Rahbroc slammed its head into her shoulder. She was thrown to the ground inches away from the dismembered body of a warrior.

 Screams of pain and war cries echoed around her, warm   blood splattered across her face, blinding her. She hurriedly rubbed the thick crimson away just in time to see one of the demons charging at her. She painfully rolled over on her side, and reached for her dagger.

Her vision was still blurry, but she could see enough to plunge her blade into the creature's chest as it threw it's entire weight on her. But in her hurry, she missed it's heart. The creature stabbed a claw into her thigh. She screamed, but the sound was drowned in the sea of battle cries and agonizing shrieks.





Muuaji was like a hurricane, cutting and stabbing through the horde of demons like a vicious force of nature. Her movements were barely visible to the naked eye. Rahbrocs fell around her in the dozens. Two Rahbrocs charged at the Kivuli Mistress, in two blurry strikes, they were flung into the air, crashing into the walls close to the Palace gates. She swiftly stabbed one of the monsters before it was even aware of her presence.





Thari watched the carnage from above  helplessly.  The Rahbrocs were too many. As she watched, more explosions ruptured the ground sending tremors into the earth.

"Should I put back the magic barrier, my Queen?" Came Lord Zahr's voice.

She turned to see the High Wizard flexing his fingers, as if seeing them for the first time.

"Apparently, Muuaji has released me from my bondage. I took the liberty of taking  down the magical barrier for the Kivuli to join the fray below."

She realized they were the only ones left on the platform. Her Kivuli captors had spirited away. Even from where she was standing, she could see their dark forms fighting below.

"No Lord Zahr," she managed. "Our  people may need to retreat"

"But your safety.....anyone could get  through......"

"I wouldn't be much of a queen if I didn't have anymore soldiers left, would I?"

More fighting below.

"As you wish" He bowed. " I will guard you with my life."

"How very admirable" Came Mallish's voice.

Panic gripped her heart instantly. To hear the Black Warlock's voice so close was simply terrifying.

They both turned to find the Warlock standing a few feet away.

More fighting sounds.

Thari swallowed a small lump in her throat.


 Mallish had a devilish smile on his face.

"Stand behind me," The High Wizard said, placing himself between Thari and Mallish.

"I don't suppose you would step aside and let me kill the little b**Ch would you?" Mallish grinned.

The floor beneath them rumbled and a section of a nearby wall exploded towards Mallish. The Black Warlock threw up his hands, and the large debris disintegrated in mid  air. Lord Zahr sucked in some air and made his hands into fists. Instantly the air molecules conjealed, and more than a dozen  swords materialized.  The swords shot towards the Warlock at a velocity faster than arrows from a bow. Once again, Mallish threw his hands into the air, and the blades dissolved a split second before they made contact.

"You want a fight ?" Mallish panted. "I'll give you a fight."





Tsunda was in trouble. The creature slashed at her viciously. She managed to shield her head from more blows. Her dagger was still lodged inside its chest. But Rahbroc's  sudden movements made it impossible for her to reach it. She was bleeding from an ugly gash on  her thigh. It was only a matter of time before a claw found its way into her chest.  Suddenly, the creature was flung into the air like a rag doll as if propelled by an invisible force.

"You can thank me later"  Muuaji panted.


 Through the blur, she could make out the Kivuli Mistress' form standing over her.

Tsunda Struggled to her feet as more violence exploded around her.

"Try and keep up, Captain. We've got Rahbrocs to kill" Muuaji handed her a sword.

"I'm still kicking your a** when this is done" Tsunda spat, taking the sword from her.

"Promises, promises," Muuaji ducked under the blow of a Rahbroc and swiftly stabbed it in the chest.

"Those men over there need  help!!" Tsunda managed as she deflected a claw and thrusted forward with her sword.

Muuaji's eyes followed hers across the chaos of battle. By the Palace gates were a small  group of Kivuli and Wahri Warriors. They were fighting their way through at least thirty Rahbrocs. She watched one of the creatures tear out a soldier's throat, sending a long stream of blood into the air.

"Was that an order?" Muuaji smiled as she swiftly evaded a Rahbroc charge.

"Yes...b**Ch," Tsunda threw one of the demons over her shoulder. "Get your f**king a** over there, NOW!!!"

"Aye, Captain" Muuaji grinned.Then she broke into a sprint, tearing through the crowd at superhuman speed, her blade hacking and stabbing as she did. She threw herself into the air, flipped twice and landed just in front of the creatures attacking the men. She spun around with her sword, stabbing through three of the monsters before they had time to react.

"F**king Show off" Tsunda muttered under her breath as she dodged another claw.





He clearly underestimated Lord Zahr, Mallish thought. The High Wizard was smiled. He barely had time to deflect an attack before another came. He had to end this...somehow.


 In desperation, the Black Warlock unleashed a series of fiery blasts. But the High Wizard countered with blasts of his own. One struck Mallish in the chest, sending him into the air into the fray below.

"Well struck, Wizard" Thari nodded.

"Thank you....you majesty" Lord Zahr panted.

Then there was an eerie rumble in the earth.


 The vibrations were so intense, that it tremored the very bones of every Rahroc, Kivuli and Wahri soldier.

The gates of the Palace exploded inwards.

Long silence.

Everyone stopped fighting and stared at the front entrance.


As the smoke cleared, Lord Tyrohk's Immense figure stood defiantly before them.

" F**k me" Tsunda heard her own voice mutter.

The Kulgan moved slowly through the crowd.


As he did, mortal hearts around him simply stopped beating. Wahri  and Kivuli warriors collapsed to the ground, dead as if striken by  some unseen  force.

"What the f**k?" Muuaji whispered.  She watched more men fall to the ground, as the Kulgan approached the Palace doors.

In panic, many soldiers ( Kivuli and Wahri alike) scrambled away from any where near the Kulgan. It was a mad frenzy of terrified soldiers scuttling about to get away.

"Give me the sword, boy" The Kulgan said, stretching forth his hand to Fhuro. "I can take it from you easily, but in order for my magic to be potent, You need to give it to me willing"

Fhuro gulped and tightened his grip on the sword.

Lord Zahr gathered all the energy he could find in the surrounding air and prepared to unleash a power blast at the Kulgan. Tyrohk simply stared up at him, and the High Wizard's heart stopped beating. His body collapsed to the ground like a heavy sack of lifelessness.

Thari felt a chill run through her.





Tyrohk  casually returned his gaze to  Fhuro.
"Give me the sword, boy."

Without thinking, Fhuro charged at the Kulgan.


 He moved swiftly and expertly, alternating sword hands as he did. He spun around on his heel and with all his might, swung the blade at Tyrohk. The blade literally bounced off the Kulgan's head. The impact of the strike sent  a powerful shockwave through the blade into Fhuro's hand, shattering every bone in his right arm.

All watched as the Kulgan Champion fell to the ground, screaming in pain as his arm lay limp beside him.

Tsunda had seen enough. She lunged towards the Kulgan, but Muuaji was quicker. In a blink, she intercepted the Captain, knocking her off her feet easily.

"What the f**k are you doing?" Tsunda spat, scrambling to her feet.

"What the f**k are YOU doing?" Muuaji retorted. " You want to f**king martyr yourself?"

" Out of my way, b**Ch!"

"The only thing person powerful enough to kill that freak is Fhuro...if I hadn't stopped you, you'd be dead"

Tsunda tried to move, when she felt the tip of Muuaji's blade at her chest.

"Stand down, Tsunda" Muuaji spat.  "If Fhuro loses, we'll need every last good fighter to get Thari the f**k out of here....let's just f**king pray he doesn't "


Fhuro was still screaming and rolling on the ground as the Kulgan towered over him.

"Foolish boy" Tyrohk spat. " Only an elemental can kill me. Only an ancient not confined to this world can face me."

The pain in his arm was like nothing he'd ever felt before. Fhuro rolled over on his side and picked up  his sword with his left hand. He struggled to his feet.

"Give me the blade, and your death shall be swift"

Long silence.

Fhuro's eyes  slowly scanned the crowd for Tsunda. Somehow in his heart, he'd always known what he had to do. It seemed he'd known from the day he'd first held the sword. He felt it in his bones. It was the only way. With all the physical strength he possessed, he pinned the sword to the ground and fell to his knees.

"Only an elemental eh?" Fhuro panted.
Lord Tyrohk suddenly had a curious expression on his face.

"By the ancient...powers of the blade" Fhuro began breathlessly. The pain in his side was intense. He could hadly maintain consciousness. But he had to focus.


 "I..Fhuro...of the Bonhye Bloodline....Summon....the spirit....of BONHYE THE MIGHTY!!!"

Confusion exploded within the crowd.

"Can he f**king do that?" Muuaji whispered.

Fhuro clasped the hilt of the Blade as it began to glow. An eerie series of whispers seemed to emanate from the air around them.

"No..." Tyrohk exclaimed.

" Take the sword ....if you can...you f**k" Fhuro grinned defiantly "She's... the one elemental...thats kicked your a**...bef...." But Fhuro never got a chance to complete the sentence. In that instant, the Kulgan reached across with his power and stopped his heart.

He fell to the ground lifelessly.

Long silence.

None could believe what they were seeing.

Tsunda began to scream his name as Muuaji's strong arms held her back.





Thari slowly fell to her knees. Her heart felt like it had broken in two.





Tsunda continued to struggle. The implications of what she was seeing was too much for her to comprehend.





"It is over, mortals" The Kulgan smiled."The sword is mine. I believe his exact words were, " He stretched out his hand towards the blade.


The sword tore itself from the earth and hovered over their heads for a few seconds.

They all watched in horror.

"Yes....." He said delightfully. " It is mine"

Then suddenly, the sword shot towards him at great speed. In fright, the Kulgan darted out of the way a split second before the weapon whistled past him into the hand of a tall slender woman whom hadn't been there a moment ago.

Shock filled the air.

The tall woman had short black hair. She was dressed in a bright white tunic, complete with white arm bands.  The sword shun in her hand with the intensity of the sun.

Long silence.

"Long time no see, Tyrohk" she smiled.

"...Bonhye....." The Kulgan managed to utter in terror.
