Hello everyone, this is the second chapter of my story. Please comment on it.

Holland smiles at him and says, ’heh, no need for being so formal. Now, I am your comrades, just like the other people.” Syaroan blinks his eyes foolishly and he cannot believe he is actually meeting Holland, the great hero. King Edmund Ng looks amused and says with his rough voice,’ Holland, you are making Syaroan wetting his pants you know? I know you are charming and handsome and all but please, don’t embarrass my friend eh?” A ripple of laughter coursed the group of people and Syaroan blushes, something he has not done ever since he touches Sakura hand for the first time. Sakura laughs and looks at Syaroan with a look that will melts his heart instantly. Renton and Eureka just looks with amusement, a smile etched on their face. For a while, Syaroan forgets he is in a middle of a war.

In the Pub in Kalindor

Dominic is disgusted and angry at the Council decision to attack Valinor. The Vanir has done nothing wrong, just that they weld magic only. The Council ignores Dominic protest and attack Valinor, killing thousands of people and destroying a country which has flourishes and prospers much. The weapons they utilize have catch the Vanir by surprise and even though they suffer losses by the magical assault, they still triumphed over them. Dominic have visits Valinor before and is amazed by their magic. Becauses of them, the Nature beauty is always preserved by them and not being devastates by the Kali. He shakes his head and laments the losses of Valinor and the Vanir. But recently, he has heard that the Vanir has survived and are located in Azeroth, another country that weld magic. And now, they have declared war on the Kali. There are short skirmish between the Vanir and Kali and most of the time, the Vanir are the victors. He has heard that the Vanir are lead by a guy call Syaroan and because the survivors talk of him unleashing devasting flame on them, even their fireproof armours are practically paper to the fire attacks. Dominic sighs and go back to his home.

While Dominic is walking back home, suddenly a black figure jumps on him. Dominic dodges the stranger and the stranger draws out two daggers of the Vanir emblem. Dominic curses and unleash his two protoss blades from his hands. The stranger looks surprised and then grinning, he dashes towards him and slashes at him. Dominic easily parry the blow and quickly slashes back with such shocking speed and strength that the stranger practically fly back. The stranger grin disappears and he mutter something under his breath. Dominic feels a numbing sensation coursing through his body and despite his best effort, he slumps to the ground without any strength or energy left in his body. The stranger walks towards him slowly and with a savage grin, he draws out a photon gun and aims at him. Dominic can only stares helplessly at the stranger and suddenly a brainwave hits him. The spell is fading and he is starting to recover his strength. Quickly, he flicks his blades at the stranger and the blades fly towards the stranger, piercing his face and chest. The stranger howls in pain and he drops his gun to the ground. Dominic somehow manages to crawl towards the gun and fire with precision at the stranger. The stranger eyes widen and he crumpled to the ground.

Dominic manages to recover enough strength to stand and retrieves his blades out. He searches the stranger body for clues to the stranger identity but he finds nothing. Dominic grabs the daggers of the Vanir emblem and the photon gun and examined them. Nothing is unusual about them but Dominic has a feeling it will be the piece of missing piece for the incomplete picture.

“So, what is the situation here”, asks by Holland.

“Well, we have skirmish with the Kali and most of the time, emerges victorious because of Syaroan but we have lose valuable men in the battles. And as you know, we are in a desperate need for men to fight”, reply King Edmund.

“Hmm, ok then. I got a solution to solve your problems but it may not appeal to you”, Holland says.

“Any idea will be welcome.”

“Well, we can search for the Forsaken Ones. The Exile People,” Holland says.

There is an eerie silence. Everybody look at Holland with horror and recoil. King

Edmund says, ”No way. God be dammed if they ever join us. They will betray us, given the chance. And they use magic that defiled the Nature, bending the basic rule of Magic. No, I will not sanction it.”

Holland looks around the room and finds the answer on their face, even Syaroan. He sighs and mutters,” I am so disappointed. I thought that in the face of crisis, you all can put aside the differences and work with them. Seem like I am wrong.”

Syaroan shivers when he recalls the Forsaken Ones. They are a group of people, dedicated to using dark magic and being exiled because of that reason. But Syaroan knows that the real reason is not that. It is…..

The next chapter is coming soon.
