Chapter 5 - Taking a Turn, Part 2

Irestion

"Hmm," The Guard said, looking at the card, then back at Irestion, "I don't remember Merrit looking so big, do you, Darrow." The young guard looks at the older one, "Who cares if he has identification? Just let him through, Samuel. "Alright, old geezer," the young guard mumbles. The young man turns around and yells, "OPEN THE GATE!" After a few minutes, the gate slowly opens. "Alright, have a nice time here merrit." "Ofcourse thank you, kind sir." Irestion then walks through the open gates.

'Jeez, security is pretty shitty here. But that's also good, it seems they keep maybe 5 guards at the gate, and they are barely fit with armor that will be easy to ambush, although there are a few guard towers around the walls, which means they will most likely see us before we get there. A surprise attack will probably be the best idea to take out the people in the towers, send a signal, and just ambush the front gate easily enough. Ento doesn't know what he is talking about; that lousy good-for-nothing spy let me look around for a little "BAMM."

"What the hell was that?" Irestion spotted some running, so he decided to follow them a few turns later, and Irestion found the source of the noise: "YOU LITTLE SHIT I'LL HAVE YOU KILLED FOR THIS. DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? DO YOU?" A snobby voice yelled out, one hand holding the side of the head where a light red color was running down it.

his lathium active and his foot planted firmly on the throat of a kid with black hair and a mid size build blood coming out of his mouth and his head was covered in it in his mouth was a piece of round flesh "In the name of karoth did that kid bite off his ear" A man said next to him "Get the guards another yelled" a group of guards emerged fully armored and lathium active 'intresting'Irestion thought to himself 'how come that kid hasint activated his lathium instead he's just letting himself be beat and the guards seemed very ready'

"I AM CHARLES BRADFORD OF THE HOUSE OF BRADFORD, ONE OF THE GREAT HOUSES OF ROSALIA. DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE?" Charles continued to yell, "We got it from here." One of the guards stepped up, "Take this filthy criminal away." Charles said to one of the guards, "YES, LORD CHARLES."

Charles then took his foot off the young man's throat, and the guards lifted the kid to his feet. His uniform looked destroyed, and then two other people ran out of the building, which of the top windows was destroyed 'must have been where the noise came from' "KROVEN ARE YOU OKAY."

A young girl, also wearing a uniform, and a younger-looking nun standing behind her looked worried. "hmm a nun must be disciples of the church, the merchant was talking about' the guards' dragged the kid away. The other three were also escorted by the guards

The noble took into a different direction than the others, most likely to a medical area. "Ima gonna go have a chat with that noble," Irestion muttered, intrigued by the scene he was just exposed to 

Kroven

The room was completely dark, my arms chained to the wall above my head one door leading out and a chair where a guard was currently sat My head was throbbing, my mouth was in mountains of pain, but it didn't matter that bastard hit Sister Allison; there was no way I could let that go, and he was bad mouthing Ms Lena. "Here, kid," The guard popped open the lathium potion and poured it into my mouth. I swallowed it all; it tasted terrible, must have been a cheap one. "Thanks," I replied.

In normal circumstances, this would heal the injured person, but I don't have any lathium, so it wont effect me at all.' "alright now that you have had that, tell me what happened." The guard asked, a paper and a pen in his hand, "Not like it would matter, he's a noble my words don't hold power," I exclaimed "Just cooperate kid" the guard said in a tired voice I sighed, "We came to pay the churches payment, but we were short and we tried to bargain with a golden ring but the noble didint want it instead he bad mouthed Ms Lena and hit sister allison"

I said, still angry, while gripping my fist, "So is that what provoked you to attack Charles bradford" " No, it was self-defence," I shouted. The guard looked up. "How so? "I told him to keep his filthy hands off of sister allison and that must have offended him because he picked me up, punched me multiple times".

My anger stirred up again ."why didint you fight back?" "I did I tried to hit him back, but it didn't work. Then he pulled me closer to him, so I used that opportunity to attack him," I said the pain in my face playing back the memories. "I know that, but why didn't you use Lathium wouldint that have been easier?"

My throat immediately went dry; only the kids and nuns at the church knew I couldn't use Lathium if people found out I would be labeled a freak. "Um, I Uh" my heart was pounding. The door suddenly swung open, the dark room now filled with light. "Darrow We need you at the gate," the young guard said urgently. "Dammit im in the middle of questioning samuel" "I'm sorry, sir, but it's urgent." Samuel pleaded, "Alright ill head over. Go ahead and take this kid to one of the holding rooms 's Ill continue questioning him later." The man then disappeared through the doorway." "Yes, sir." The young man then walked over and unchained me from the wall.

"Come on, young man." he helped me up and then led me out the door way the long stone hallway helped keep me up. The young guard then shut the door and put my arm over his shoulder. "You're still pretty messed up. Did Darrow give you a potion?" "He did," I muttered,

"Well its sure taking its time, must be a pretty cheap potion." "must of," I replied quietly as we continued to walk down the long stone hallway. Eventually, multiple doors appeared.

The young man then opened the first one he saw and led me in and laid me on the stone slab in the shape of a bed. "We have actual medical supplies in the main work area ill go grab it and patch you up."

The young man then got up and left the room, not even giving me time to say okay as I laid down on the stone bed-like structure, the memories replayed in my head, feeling the pain over and over again, regret started to wash over me, "Should I have just kept my mouth shut?" I mumbled, "I should have asked the guard about what happened to Vira and sister Allison." "I hope everyone at the church is alright and Ms Lena is also alright." Regret and Worrysome thoughts kept taking over my mind.

Almost two hours went by before the door reopened. Expecting the young guard, I slowly got up instead it was the same one who interrogated me before.

"Hey, kid," the old man sounded tired. I didn't answer, I just pushed myself back onto the wall to be more comfortable. "Not much of a talker i see. Well, look, kid im sorry about this, but Charles wants you executed for attacking him."

The old man looked away. Still in shock, the old man continued, "As you said kid he's a noble, so our words mean nothing."

He then went to leave the room. I shot up, "Wait wheres Vira and sister Allison? They didn't do anything." The old man turned back around. "Those two were let go after we questioned them." he then walked out, closing the door behind him. 'Execution', the word bouncing back and forth in my mind, "Being executed as soon as I turn fifteen, what kinda joke is this?" tears started to well up in my eyes. Instead of lying down, I sat down on the stone bed and put my legs up to my chest, letting the tears fall
