Chapter 3-Zardoure's crush

Zardoure's P.O.V

We flew over CrestHearth and sensing evil energy on the loose, we landed down, and saw the prince was there, hurt. We had to help, if he didn't accept he'd die this time.

The revenant about to strike down on BladeRend didn't notice us, I fired a strong energy beam and hit him away from the boy before he could have gotten killed.

Zardoure: 'Wretched revenants, you just keep coming.'

Darce: 'Of if it isn't the great General Zardoure. You would dare approach me?'

Zardoure: 'We will see.' I stood ready for battle. Suddenly, something to the side caught my attention. It was a beautiful woman, about my age. But she had blood dripping down her chin from the mouth. She wore similar attires as the revenants but I sensed no evil within her. Her beauty has gotten me a crush on her, but I can't, she was after all a revenant or at least half a revenant.

Kiera and BladeXend have gotten the prince to safety as they pulled him aside. The fight had to go on, the man that tried to kill the prince had power which was much stronger than Rhatous. I'm not sure how I can defeat him. However, the king has special training for us after we are done with this.

I drew my powerful Pentium Sword, a silver long blade imbued with blood energy. The man lifts his hammer on his shoulder.

Darce: 'Are you sure you want to do this Zardoure?' he mocked.

Zardoure: 'Don't mock me, I fear nothing!' I clashed with him.

We locked weapons and pushed at each other, I felt his great power. We came face to face and from the slits of hits mask, he breathed out orange smoke. I stepped back and choked, out of the blue I was hit on the head. I was knocked a few blocks back, he teleported in front of me and swiped the hammer at me, but I managed to duck and hit his legs. He did not stagger but he pulled me up and fired a blast at me. I was down, just as I thought all else was lost the king arrived.

Blazerdon's P.O.V

There was evil lurking, I felt that Melympian forces were draining, I had to go over. I teleported to the scene where my little son and the loyal Zardoure was down.

Blazerdon: 'No! No more!' I shouted and energy gathered in my right hand.

Darce: 'The king?!' he said as he backed away to his ship and all his comrades follow him back. As the ship took off, a giant lightning bolt formed on my hand and I threw it at the ship. As it collided, it made a huge boom sound, the massive ship was disintegrated.

But the revenants flew off on their back up ship. It was small but enough to carry all of them away.

Blazerdon: 'Darn it, I will get you some day.'

I turned back to my injured people.

Blazerdon: 'You all alright?'

Zardoure: 'I'm fine, but your son had a bad attack.'

I walked to my son, and healed him with my magic. He was better and stood up.

BladeRend: 'Thank you Dad.'

Blazerdon: 'So who were those people? What are they up to?'

BladeRend: 'I will tell you on the way back, let's go.'

BladeRend's P.O.V

I got back on Tibby's back and we took off, back to Melympus.

BladeRend: 'They are called the Cult, the leader was the king, his name is Darce, I fought with his daughter, Elnora and I almost defeated her when Darce came in.

Zardoure: 'You mean the young woman that was wearing the revenant robes with the scimitar?'

BladeRend: 'Yes, for some reason, she looked terribly evil but the magic eye that sits on my forehead see no evil within her. Nonetheless, I had to fight her.'

Zardoure: 'She didn't look that bad did she? She was beautiful right?'

BladeRend: 'You whaa? You like her?'

Zardoure: 'Oh what! No, no way. Liking an enemy? No way man!'

He sounded too fake for me to believe him. Oh well, whether it's true or not, it's not my concern. My concern lies on getting my vengeance on that evil monstrous man. Darce huh? I will kill you Darce!

The more I thought, the more tense I was. I clenched my fist and my aura changed, then I had a soothing feeling on my hand. Kiera placed her hand on mine.

Kiera: 'Don't worry. We will find them, we will help you find them.'

At that point I realized that people were actually here for me, her to protect and help me. Unlike the mortal world, there mostly selfish and cruel people approach me, but this, this was what I needed to cleanse that thought. The thought that made me think I was alone, but now I am here, as a god, I am not alone.

We've arrived at Melympus, injuries were treated and afterwards Dad had instructions.

Blazerdon's P.O.V
It feels like we are not strong enough so I had to prepare the magical chamber for those who require huge deal of training.

I called all the gods to the conference room.

Blazerdon: 'Now, you all think it is over, but a new enemy has arrived on the scene. You all need to do a lot of training. This new group of revenants, The Cult, their leader was about as strong as I. They can launch an attack anytime. We must be prepared, that's why.' I cut off and walked to end of the room and it opened.

Blazerdon: 'This is the magic chamber, training in here will increase your power greatly, put it to good use. Now you will be split into groups to train, elders have to use the other chamber.'

Team Blade

BladeRend, Akira, BladeXend, Kiera and Kaitlin you will follow BladeRend on his journey to find the Diamond of Melympus.

Team Kage

Kage, Saijyn, Jaslyn, Roslyn, you will try find the Cult's base and try and gather information

Team Bob

Bobcat, Rhodo, Onzius, SilverWind, Yaguara. You will train the army for an attack on the Cult.

Blazerdon: 'Now I have placed you with tasks, train for 3 days in the chamber before you go.'

The teams left to train, but team Blade stayed.

Blazerdon: 'Now listen, BladeRend your main task is to find the Diamond of Melympus in the temple of Melympus, which is far beyond melympus and put it in an anvil with the Blade of Melympus. With that, you will be able to kill Darce.'

BladeRend: 'Alright, it will be done.'

Blazerdon: 'The rest please make sure he is alright.'

With the last of the young gods leaving to train, the elders were left. Inferunt and Teala, Galaxus and Elinore, Johnna and I, lastly General Zardoure.

Blazerdon: 'We have all the time to train, until they attack, put the time to good use.'

As they leave to train, I decided that Zardoure would have a special task.

Blazerdon: 'Zardoure! Hold on.'

He turned and came back at me.

Zardoure: 'Yes king.'

Blazerdon: 'Once team Kage have returned with the location of their base, you will go in and find someone.'

Zardoure: 'Who?' his eyes lit up a little, it made me almost giggle.

Blazerdon: 'Just wait haha, now go.'

Zardoure: 'Yes my king.' And he went to train.

I already knew he likes Elnora, she seems pure, not evil but. Oh well, that is not his purpose, he will find out about his history soon.
