Chapter 5
"Okay Topsy, do you want her back?" Equinox asked.
"WHAT!? HOW DID YOU-"
"Calm down. Just dont focus on that now. If you want her back, you have to face a trial. This has never been passed with one alone. Choose 3." Equinox said calmly.
"Akaz, Littlefoot and Altayous."
"Hopefully you chose right, because if you fail, you will also be dead, with your teammates included."
"I regret nothing."
"I can get both Littlefoot and Altayous here, but Akaz is in a zone where I cannot move him from. We got to wait."
In the territory
"Wake up you abomination!" He demanded.
"What?" I answered.
"Get Out of your cell or should I call someone to kill you!?" He exclaimed.
"Alright-alright geez." I said.
I walked out of the cell and I look down from the balcony. All I see was just a stock with a giant blade. Some others were there too. Behind me, the soldier told me to move it. We both walked down being cuffed and being tasered while we were trying to process what was going on. I saw her when we got to the bottom floor.
"All of you. Your actions were deemed a threat to us. If you wish to either try your luck destroying this place or escaping, or simply wanting to die here, here you go." The Warden said. "Now, Who shall be our first victim?"
"Burn in hell you deranged son of a bastard!" A Random human said.
"Un-cuff him and place him in there." The warden ordered.
Two heavily armored people then forcefully pushed him to the ground back first, and sliced his cuffs off. Then they grabbed him by the arms and locked him in the stocks. I could see most of us covering our eyes, but some saw it, and were struck with fear. They released the blade, and it dropped into the stock, effectively cutting his head off added with his hands. The warden then held his head with no regret and held it up high.
"Now you low lapdogs watch your mouth or this will happen to you." He said while clutching his fist around his head.
He then held it in his hand but no longer held high and he crushed it without much effort, but with more rage. We could all see the gore that spluttered all over the floor and in his hand. This is no warden. This is a cold blooded murderer, ready to take out our hearts at his will. Of course I did not say this out loud.
At the high council
"I got a strange message from the enemy. Its encoded, but You can decrypt it. Ill send it to your HUD." The messenger said.
"Its starting to come together and now.. Wait.. Why would they?" The leader surprisingly said.
"What does it say?" The messenger asked.
"It says We got a bigger enemy in our hands we realize, and Taken to account that they already out powered the guardian who protects the vermilion core. We will make sure we will take them down, but please, if you do, take all the war criminals you collected and release them." He said.
"I will send it back. What is your response master?" I asked.
"Okay, write this. We will gladly accept, but since you did take many innocent lives, we will return the prisoners in 3 whole days. If there is that guy who stole that thing, then who knows what he can do with it." He typed.
Back at prison
"Ah Yes, Something from the High council. What do they say?" The warden said. happily asked.
"We order you to release all Terrace prisoners Immediately in 3 days. We also recommend you release the trespassers who were incarcerated here, and let them live. We will decide what to do to them if they do another crime against us." The high council reported.
"Good... now I can finally not see the Terrace people now. I cant bear to look at even one of them. I do not care if they have to be slaughtered, I want them away." The warden said while getting his gloves on.
(In their cells)
"Did they really starve the people to death? I mean I can see a pile of dead bodies with no blood and have heads intact." Akaz said.
"Can you stop with this death stuff? is starting to make me feel sick."
I could see her sleeping peacefully, but still struggling to get up from it, I could barely see much, as the blurry vision gone away, but I could still see double. I might as well just sleep for a few days straight and lets see how things turn out. Just when I was about to go back to sleep, I saw the same person who accompanied me down to the bottom level.
"Listen. We are going to release you in 3 days. Although, The Warden wants to not want to see you, so I will be transporting you to the Terrace and others who are with them." He said.
"Okay. Will wait for it then." I said going back to sleep.
