Fyrre Beasts: Volume 1

The Jade Valley part 2



The next night.

The waterfall behind the castle flowed peacefully. It's water was clean and untouched. Only the rulers of the Jade Valley have used it. It was Senah Virqua's own personal sauna.

Leo has to learn swordplay if he wishes to keep Clover safe. So,he learns to fight from the one who helped him defeat Dandelion.

Maxwell is in limbo. In an endless ocean of thought. A sea that never ends and he waits for someone to save him at shore. He had no direction other than finding the people he lost.

Leo Sunsette's Pov:

"Why are you always so damn late?"

"Time is meaningless. Why are you always in a rush? Clover must get frustrated."

"Shut up. Look go easy on me,my wounds are still healing."

"Hmmm. Well,my wounds haven't healed yet,and no one went easy on me."

"You still miss them?The orphans."

"Yes. Every f*****g day."

"Why do we have to fight here?,"I asked.

"Perfect terrain. A waterfall for those rough battles and the castle is behind us. In a normal battle,you're gonna need archers and mortars. Now,take out your sword and hold it correctly. And Leo....don't lose."

"You know,no one has taught me sword fighting and of all people,you."

"I've seen you fight. A ferocious man with a huge heart and yet he has no idea how to hold a sword. Let's begin." He came at me but I held him back. His sword was thin and long while mines was thick and sharp.

"Remember,left foot foward,right foot back. You can't allow yourself to fall back while wielding a sword. It's like eating while you're sitting on your face."

"I understand."

We continued back and forth. He began to go faster and had to maneuver my way around him. "

Do you miss all of them? All the orphans?"

"Each one of them was a friend,I thought they'll never get touched,"he fought even faster,"I was so sure that they wouldn't get hurt and they did. All my love and friends and hope,everything died in that fire. The Brotherhood is merciless and it caused my trauma and look at me now. Heartless,faceless,red hair and all because I cared for them. Daisie,Lara,Tyrone and Joffrey. After that,only a few of them were left. They disappeared quite fast. I miss them,yes,but I don't think about it and every time I do think about them,I light a smoke in their honour."

He quickly jabbed my back and pinned me on the floor. "I care for nothing anymore,that doesn't stop me from living my life,good or bad,righteous or evil. The choices I make will never bring them back and my spirit will never go back to blue. That's me, forever red Martin Foresste."

"You still have your brother and sister and your parents."

"f**k my family. f**k the King. f**k my siblings." He took out his Blackhill and began to smoke.

"I envy you,you have problems that can be solved. The only way I can solve my problems,is by death only,"Marty said.

"A sad story,like many in our party. When you're king,you'll get to solve your people's problems."

"I'm not going to be king. I'd rather not. I'll do what I can do heal myself and destroy the people who hurt me. That's all. We need to go,I'm hungry for kitchen girl."

Nikolai's Pov:

My room was warm and the candle burned bright. I dipped the feather in ink and began to write my instructions:

The following soldiers are required to gain information about the Island of Valleys and it's many cities. Any information that is found shall come to me and to me only.

Leo Sunsette and Clover Virqua shall pay a visit to Crystal Valley and inform us of any information.

60 soldiers will be released across the island to find the Brotherhood of Dekkar and any of their camps.

From Squad Captain Nikolai.

I see a lot of things and most of the time I say nothing. As the captain,I only speak of the important things. My heart still belongs to Denvor,I keep that inside. But at the times when I don't speak,I notice the further we venture the more we lose hope. Now,we are here and we sit and drink,believing that they are already dead. They have lost hope,it's time that I speak.

Maxwell Foresste's Pov:

The night sky was clear and the moon reflected on the water. I brought a bottle of wine and myself. She sat there in a blue gown. A small one.

Her hair was open and her legs were crossed.

"Finally,you have come,"Senah said.

"I want to tell you something important,Lady Senah. My mission is important to me,to find someone important. I need your help desperately if I have a chance to see her again."

"So,you are searching for a woman." Senah poured us wine and she drank the entire cup. "First,I must know who you are. A stranger comes up to me and demands my resources. I want to know who this woman is to you."

I told her everything. How much I loved Dona,to the day I lost her. I told her about my journey and the paths I took. The punishment and pain I endured. The bottle was empty,I looked at my glass and it was full again."Ssh,now!" Her hand was on my lips.

"Say no more. This woman is gone and that's where story ends. The Brotherhood will not spare her. You must forget it all and drink more." She poured the wine down my throat.

"I must tell you my story now. I come from far away,where we praise our bodies and the Gods that gave it to us. A place of passion and lust. Long ago,I was brought here to give pleasure and a Lady of Jade Valley tookcme and made me her child. She tought me how to talk and fight and write. When she died,I vowed that I will end that b***h's life."

"Max,you are in a hole. You are trying to dig your way out and you are getting more lost. I love men that have found their way. Your way is to nowhere and you must leave that path and give in to pleasure." Her lips crawled to mine. My head was spinning and I couldn't think about anything else. Dona is gone and now my journey must end.

Her lips tasted like spice and her body was curved and smooth. She stood up and looked at me. She was standing over me and she wore nothing but a small blue gown. "You must return and tell your friends what must be done. I must destroy my enemy and you shall destroy yours." I started to walk away,barely. She jumped down ,to the bottom of the waterfall. She took off her small,blue gown and began to bathe in the blue water.

I noticed a glowing crystal beside me. I grabbed it and showed Senah.

"It's a special substance,the ones that the Gods have given us. Every spirit has one. The white spirit gave the white crystals and the blue spirit gave us these jades. These gems send and receive messages. Say something to it."

I told it,hello. And I threw it to Senah. She caught and the crystal mirrored my voice.

"Goodnight,Maxwell. I enjoyed the wine."

Nikolai's Pov:

I sat there,nobody was worried about whether we'll find Denvor and Dona. Everyone is drunk and having fun with the ladies. I'll have to speak with Maxwell,we need stay on track and do what's right. I won't allow Denvor to slip through my hands.

Maxwell walked in and tripped. Everyone cheered because he was drunk like them,finally. Max doesn't drink,I believe that. He went to speak with that lady. "Max! Max! Come sit and eat something."

"No....I'm..fine."

He started to eat some lamb and potatoes. He washed it down with some water.

"Max,you don't drink. What happened?"

"I drank some exotic wine with Lady Senah Virqua...and...she showed me her exotic tits."

"What's the matter with you? I thought you're saving yourself for Dona. Did you f**k her?"

"No,I didn't f**k her. Anyways,you can't sleep with a dead woman."

"Dona and Denvor are not dead. We will find them,no matter how long it takes. Did you forget that you love her?"

"Loved. She's gone now. It's a shame that I've been saving myself. I'm done. Goodnight,Nikolai,sorry for the sad news but we are going home."

"Stop! Are you not seeing this? People are putting thoughts in your head. You need to use your own mind and think. That lady is using you for her war."

"I will do as I please,I am your prince. I'm sorry that you don't have someone to suck your c**k anymore,man lover."

I couldn't believe that our hope is lost. I can't believe the things he is saying. My anger,all this time,keeping it in. I let it go,I let go. A flaming throw at his drunk face,let him burned and bleedy. The others quickly seperated us.

"You will regret it,Maxwell! When the Brotherhood burns everything to ash and you're still between her legs,fighting her battles. She doesn't care for you BUT DONA DID!"

I wondered while I stared at the candle. Who is the real enemy?

The people who murders and burns for fun or the people who choose not to stop them. In the morning,when I send the soldiers out,I'll have to remind Maxwell of his promise and the scars to remember.

Martin Foresste watches the room empty and sits in darkness. He walks slowly towards the fire place to start one. He lights a flame on his hand. He watches it emit a red flame. He still has the memory of the night his spirit changed. The night his only love died,Daisie. This night is known as the orphanage fire.

The wood burnt almost instantly and lit the room. He looked back and saw Nikolai sitting alone. He cared for Nikolai once,they understood each other. In their strengths and weaknesses.

Martin gives Nikolai a Blackhill and says,"Take this for your pain." Nikolai takes it and throws it into the fire. They sit and talk about the memories they share of their lost friends."Nothing can bring the dead back to life. It can't bring bring back Joffrey,Tella or Daisie,"Nikolai said to Martin.
