Must Read: A Broken Destiny: The Sword Of Vengeance

I was shocked to see the cursed flames return to its creator as soon as it got too close to the woman. It was one of the most amazing things come to life apart from the other similar things I have been privileged to read. This must be the reason behind Kieran’s strange decision to hold on to me when I sought to help his wh0re, but it’s very clear now that this woman was no ordinary woman, much less a wh0re. She must be his protector or something like that which is probably why he has refused to say much about her. He let me go after the threat which was the big wizard had disappeared into nothing after his own flames returned to destroy him. I ran towards the woman and instead of cutting her free, I was more interested in who she was. I tried to feel her gift by looking directly into her eyes but there was nothing to feel because she had no gift. I was taken aback by that because if such powerful magic as found in the cursed flames could be wrestled from its creator and controlled by her, she should have some portions of both sides of the gift which isn’t too difficult to get.

In her case, there was nothing like that, she was empty just like every other human who was ungifted. I looked towards Kieran who didn’t deem it fit to come close to the woman now that I was between them. I decided to put one of my theories to use as Anna never told me of any protector looking after Kieran, else his wife and child would still be in the world of the living. I grabbed hold of her hair rather forcefully as I was getting to one of those uncontrollable outbursts of mine. I hated secrets but puzzles drives me mad, I checked for any sign of ownership burnt to her scalp as that was the manner the rich in the south claimed property. I tossed her hair here and there until I found it; a tiny black horse which was burnt to the right side of her side of her head, a symbol of the house of the mad king.

The discovery made me lose the little control I had and I didn’t know when I threatened the man I should bring home without harm. He didn’t answer my questions but decided at that moment to go after one of the men he didn’t kill. That action of his only increased my rage which made me wave my right hand, taking him off his feet. He landed and hit his back on a tree, fear overcame my rage as I thought I had broken his back with the way he hit the tree. My fears didn’t come to pass this time when I saw him move and then after some murmurs, he got to his feet. He was clearly angry at what I did because I could see the wild look in his blue eyes when he walked over to me.

“Anna will surely hear of this and I will surely return the favor when its time, never forget as I always fulfill my promises.” He said that and moved over to the man who was still cursing us all this time in his language. He ignored the woman who was signaling for us to set her free and started questioning the man.

“Who are you and why did you want me?” the man smiled and then spat at Kieran which didn’t help his situation. Kieran was still angry at what I just did to him and he poured his rage on the man. He took hold of the man’s second knee and stepped on it. He repeated the same thing until the knee broke to tiny pieces. He repeated the same questions after the inhumane thing he just carried out but the man was stubborn and still refused to talk. Kieran picked up a sword from the floor and ran the man through. He got up and went towards the woman after pulling the sword out of the man, I could see the fear in the woman’s eyes but I knew Kieran won’t hurt her. He cut the ropes used in tying her up and then walked away from her.

“I thought I was cold, well it seems you don’t have a heart. You watched your sorceress treat me like shitt and then when you finally remember I was still alive, you set me free and walk away from me. I blame myself for this, well, it won’t happen again. I should never have gotten myself into bed with an unlearned, wild, untamed animal as yourself.” She said that and then walked into the cabin to probably change her clothes but not before giving me a dangerous look. She will most likely get back to me just as Kieran said he would.

Kieran kept staring into the woods and he stayed that way till the woman came out with a dress a little too big for her but she didn’t seem to mind. She got on one of the horses and rode through the path that went through the back of the house. She spat at the Kieran’s feet before leaving, the action didn’t move him at all and when she was out of sight, he looked away from the woods and went into the cabin. He didn’t even look towards my direction, I thought of apologizing for my reckless behavior but thought otherwise as it wasn’t my fault. He was keeping too many secrets and if those men had captured us because of his inability to control his urges, it would have been a different story all together. I waited for sometime before going into the cabin too, I found him searching through the things of the men, looking for something that could tell us something about them. He searched everything but he couldn’t find anything meaningful. He left the cabin and started opening the clothes of the dead men, checking their skin and hairs hoping to find something but surprisingly, these men were clean. No cuts or drawings were found on them which were quite unusual; he slumped to the ground out of frustration.

I kept quiet all through his search, I tried helping him once but he forcefully took the bag I was looking through from me which meant he was still angry. He stood up after sitting on the ground for a while and went towards one of the horses. He mounted it and waited a signal that I should get on it. I mounted the horse too and he rode through the same path the woman followed. He stopped when he got to our horse and asked me to come down. He spoke this time which made me happy. I mounted mine and started riding slowly along with him, smiling as I remembered when he vowed that he was surely getting another horse; he does keep to his promises. We rode at a slow pace for quite some time and I wondered why he was doing so.

“The woman is no wh0re, she is a gordond and they are only loyal to the mad king. If she wanted me, she would have gotten me a long time ago and must have killed you to get to me. I wasn’t certain until a while ago, she has been asked to tail us, so for now she is not a threat. I don’t have any feelings for her, so stop worrying about that. She is still alive because she is not a threat, the moment she becomes one, I will kill her myself.” He said suddenly. I knew she was working for the mad king but a gordond, I honestly didn’t know that. This explains why Kieran didn’t want me to meet her as I could have used magic against her and end up hurting or even killing myself. He had his reasons but then he should have told me something, what was that when he said I should stop worrying about who he fvcks, I honestly don’t care.

“Don’t flatter yourself too much, I don’t care who you put your c.ock into.” He smiled after I said that and then picked up pace. Why does he think I am lying, I really don’t care or do I? I asked myself as I hit my horse to go faster.
