" Watch out! " One of district 2 mage said when he saw an arrow heading towards his leader fastly, everyone started to panic because none of them expected such a thing to happen, especially at a time when most of them were either injured or wanted to get away desperately.
" Are you okay , sir ? Someone? I need a healer here"
Yogev fell to the ground feeling that his head was light because of the surprise hit he got .
All the eyes went toward that person who summoned the arrow and hit the leader with it, she was just a little girl who attacked the most important person on Delwias Island right now.
Lexie was crying when she did that, after her family's death she isolated herself in the burned forest trying to collect her thoughts.
All she feared was to hear their voices inside of her head, she was too desperate at the time because all that she ever lived for got destroyed so easily in a blink of an eye, she couldn't even bury their bodies because she couldn't believe what happened .
Whenever she looked at them she pictured their eyes wide open as if they were already alive, she spent hours doing nothing but looking at those corpses while feeling confused and traumatized.
She hated her weakness, the fate that got her into that place, she hated even the fact that she went to help Arino before that merciless attack.
She hated everything that was good about her, and for that, she felt like she was already going crazy .
Lexie was willing to break into thousands of pieces all by herself while doing nothing but when the mages of district 2 found her and got her into this place she discovered what she was going to do..
She waited hours without resistance for Yogev to come, she heard a lot about him all that time and she didn't hesitate for a second before she shot him with an arrow she summoned when he came there, her attack was fast and brutal, a push with her magic made the arrow so fast to the point where no one was able to track it with their eyes.
Lexie smiled very widely showing all her white lined-up teeth as she walked toward Yogev very slowly under everyone's sight.
" Please kill me ! I want to do die, Like right now, and yeah, I am not sorry because I killed your leader, I would do it again if he wakes up too"
One of his mages ran toward her and slapped her cheek. She didn't resist, she just smiled when she saw everyone's confusion.
" You bitc***you attacked our leader? How dare you ? "
" Hhahahahahahah, I told you I will do it again… mister" Lexie said while her smile was still on her face
"Kill the bitch …kill the bitch " A few people of district 2 said to her.
Lexie was dragged by her short hair, the mage was so hostile now and she understood his motive, she did something outrageous for the first time in her life and she didn't regret it even for a bit .
" Yup, kill me please !"
" Enough ! "a loud voice said.
All the people stopped cursing and shouting at her, and even those people 1 who got the courage of her action and started arguing stopped.
All the sights went to the person who shouted at all of them with a cold look in his eyes, Yogev was standing there in front of them with blood dripping from the scratch she gave him by that arrow? while he was looking at all of them .
" Just stop talking ! " He said after he sighed loudly .
When Lexie saw him standing there with only a scratch on his chest she went all over the edge, she tried to run toward him even when the other mage was there grabbing her from her hair .
" What are you doing? , just stop moving, I will cut all of your hair if you resist like that "
" Kill me and I don't care, just let me kill the bastard"
Yogev asked the mage to cast a locking spell on her so she wouldn't move wildly like that .
Yogev removed the arrow then locked at her face closely this time and said:" You started the war, I am going to end it, so unless you want more casualties just keep your mouth shut"
Yogev didn't look at her more than that, he headed toward the crowds he was speaking to then said :'' People of district 1 killed my people, and I did the same to them, I chose peace when they chose violence, it is only natural that we defend ourselves.
for those who lost their people in the middle of this chaos, may their souls rest in peace.
Who wants to continue the war between the districts is just too stupid, to begin with. If you look around, you will notice cracks in this messed-up system since Lucas Duncan opened the gates to the world beyond.
The system was failing but you never cared to notice, and even when they left you here, you just chose to be ignorant and wished for the best, the best ? Don't be ridiculous, they left us for a reason and deep down you all know why "
One of the district 4 people said:" So you are saying that we will live like this forever ? "
" Forever ? Are you in your right senses? With what happened to all the other districts I think if we lived for a year it would be a miracle, so let's just don't waste our time on fighting "
" After you kill most of our people you say this ?" One of the women of district 1 said .
" You killed mine , and I killed yours, you kill more and I will kill more, it is an eye for an eye here, the system is no longer applied which means the rules are gone too if you want to live in total chaos so be it , only the stronger is going to eat the weaker, just like in the middle of the forest .."
People were stunned by his speech. It went in a totally different direction. After he got hit, he was no longer talking to them , he was ordering them as if he was the new king of the seventh region.
" But if you want rules, then they are my rules !"
