The knights stepped aside, Emery walked with a sword in hand closer to the drenched man in the middle of the courtyard. "Is this a joke?" cried out Padraig. He pointed his huge blade at Emery and shouted, "I am Padraig! The Crimson Fang Chief! Many knights have fallen to my blade and you're sending a boy to kill me?" "Padraig, if you can defeat this young man, I'll let you go!" said the old knight. "Hahaha! The word of a knight is his honor," said the Crimson Fang's chief as he cracked his…

On the left and the right of Emery were knights with full armor and large shields. The knights seemed intimidating as if they were unmovable rocks. Kastan and Morgana walk just behind him. Emery of course made sure to remind Morgana not to transform into the feywolf if she wanted to join, she came along using a sword and a knife. As they drew nearer at the ruined fort, about fifty meters, it meant that they were in the effective range of the arrows, one of the Silver Knights with brown hair shouted,…

The fort had several tents inside and outside the fort. There was also a thin wooden palisade guarding its entrance and about a hundred people stood behind the spikes and about another fifty or so on the broken battlements. These people were wearing either hide or leather armor, the typical signature clothing of a marauder but some seemed to be normal looking peasants. The combined three stood before the ruined fort, waiting for a messenger to go out and meet them. Emery stood beside the commander of…

Kastan was observing everyone and when Emery walked up to him and said, "How many do we have in total, Kastan?" "Fifty, including the guards. It's less than what we have hoped," said Kastan. "We could've hired more but news of the latest expedition has discouraged many participants." Fifty people, including Emery and Kastan, would be fighting against at least a hundred marauders. Once Sir Bagdemagus arrived with his men, it should somehow make the gap of fighters closer. While Emery was talking to…

Emery arrived in the grand hall of the Quintins' Mansion and stood on the opposite side of Kastan, Luna in the middle, while the knights wearing several red robes held by a standing golden lion crest stood in front. There were five of them and once Emery got himself settled; Luna gave him a nod, waved her arm to Emery and said, "Honorable knights of the Lioness Kingdom. Let me introduce my friend, Merlin, the wizard." Emery gave a bow but once he had raised his head, he received a slight shock after…

"The silver furred rabbit is a sacred beast of our tribe. It belongs to us; it is not supposed to be in the hands of outsiders," said Emery to Luna, translating Morgana's words. Of course, he didn't mention the latter. Luna fell silent for a moment then looked at Emery said, "What about you, Merlin? Can you help? You are a wizard, aren't you? You manage to get your hand back!" Emery shook his head and said, "It wasn't me who cured my hand. And it's something I can't tell you. However, can you show me…

Emery, Morgana and Luna stopped what they were doing as all eyes were on Silas. Luna said, "Silas, what's the matter?" "It's father! He's—" Luna's chair moaned as she stood up. She turned to Emery and said, "I am sorry that I must excuse myself, Merlin. Please, make yourself at home." She turned away and with hurried steps, Luna followed Silas whose eyes were slightly reddish. Once they were away, Emery tried to know what was happening through the servant waiting on them but refused to answer…

Emery remembered Luna had stood quite a distance away from that night and when she and Kastan had walked closer to speak with the chief, Morgana's face was ruffled with her red hair and was covered with a mantle. He found it surprising that she was able to recognize her, truly Luna was a business woman who had sharp eyes. He said, "She won't harm anyone, please be at ease." "If you say so, Merlin" responded Luna almost flatly. "Well, let us eat." Immediately after that, people walked inside the…

The next day arrived, first he went to the Lady of the Lake and before he could say more reasonings, she already accepted his decision. But when it came to the villagers, it was expected they were not fond of a person going outside the forest. Particularly by the members of the Akavi Warriors. He couldn't blame them because they were the ones who were dealing with the occasional skirmishes or wanderers getting lost in the forest. Not to mention, the last time a person had left this forest — Maeve — it…

In contrast to his expectations though, the High Priestess's teachings were not about understanding the plant element itself, rather, how to communicate his plant spirit with the Gaia. Night after night, only after two weeks was he able to connect with Gaia, and when that happened, he felt one with nature, he saw the seeds sprouting into life, the life force of the tree, the wonderful nature etc. and this caused his plant spirit within his spirit core of darkness to increase tremendously until he finally…
