Chapter 129 The Beginning Of The War

She thought her twin brother had turned her in and deserted her, they had always been co-operative as twins, they always stood up for each other, one either of them was in trouble, that was the reason why she was disappointed when he turned her in and immediately vanished.

Tuchel wasn't happy with what he had done but there was no other way around things, if there was he would have taken that way to make sure his sister was safe.

His conscience wasn't at rest as he watched from the bush, he tried to think of something but he knew anything he wanted to do would prove futile as long as the king was there.

He was glad when the strange goblin showed up from nowhere and challenged the king. He wanted to use the distraction to the best of his power because he thought the goblin wouldn't last long in the fight but to his greatest surprise things turned out another way.

Jude had been prevented from climbing on top of his horse and Tauriel had almost gotten killed, that was when he had stepped in.

"I knew you didn't leave," Tauriel said with a smile.

Tuchel pulled out some arrows from his back, quickly tied them with a black rope, and threw them at Tauriel.

"You'll need those." He said.

Tauriel quickly slid the arrows into her back and then turned back to her brother.

"Behind you!" Tuchel screamed but screaming wasn't the only thing he had done, he had also fired an arrow that had pierced through the soldier's head before he could bring down his sword on Tauriel.

"Thank you," Tauriel said with a gasp as she watched the elf soldiers fall.

The rest of the soldiers were acting cautiously now because they knew with one wrong move they would be done, the elf twins were known as the deadliest archers in the elf kingdom and that meant they hardly missed a shot under normal circumstances and Tuchel was the better of the two.

Jude's sword was in between Tauriel and an axeman and immediately Tauriel's eyes fell on the sword, her eyes locked with that of the axeman.

Tauriel rushed and with a slide, his feet got there before the axeman could. She grabbed the sword with both feet and with a flip she sliced the axeman's head off with the sword and landed on her feet.

She quickly picked up the sword and stabbed it into the ground beside her.

"Time to end this."

The soldiers all charged in as she pulled out three arrows and fitted them to her bow, Tuchel did the same.

"You're weaker than I remember," Saganus said as he slashed his spear down at Ashburn who quickly raised his spear to defend himself.

He was down on one knee as he tried to hold back Saganus who seemed to be overpowering him.

"Without that staff you're nothing."

Saganus applied more force to suppress Ashburn further down but the king wasn't backing down.

"You don't know what you're doing, Saganus."

Immediately after saying that his staff began to pulsate with purple bright energy and for the first time during their fight, a horrid look had appeared on Saganus's face.

"Goodbye old friend."

Saganus pulled back his spear in time and immediately used it to create a red energy shield, purple light brighter and way larger than the regular ones shot out from the staff.

Despite his energy shield, he was still knocked away a far distance, almost reaching the area where Tauriel and Tuchel were battling the elf soldiers, his shield was the only thing that had prevented him from going any further but that shield had also gotten destroyed in the process.

Saganus staggered as he got up from the floor, his spear pulsating with red energy but this one wasn't as bright as Ashburn's.

"Fool! You think I didn't come prepared for all of these?" Saganus said. "That was a nice firepower, but it leaves you defenseless now."

He pointed his spear at Ashburn and a large red ball shot out from it, heading for the king who was still on one knee and indeed looked defenseless.

But before the large red ball of energy could hit the king, the pegasus which had not gotten involved all this while, flew towards him and covered him with its wings.

"Teelah no!!" Saganus screamed.

Flames and smoke had already covered them and Saganus fell on one knee thinking he had killed the pegasus but he was wrong because when the smoke cleared no figure could be seen there, he looked far ahead to see that the pegasus was already a very large distance from him.

"Coward, your stupid soldiers will give me all the information I need."

The goblin turned back and was surprised by what he was seeing now, all the goblin soldiers were lying in their own pools of blood and the people who had dealt with them were no longer there.

He managed to catch a glimpse of the running horse before it disappeared in the distance.

Saganus looked around the place which now looked like a battlefield to take note of three different species lying dead on the ground.

"Humans, elves, goblins." He said. "This is the beginning of the war."

Luis heaved a sigh of relief as he lifted the last dummy off the ground, Ciara who had covered the dent on the wall with a little paint had just returned with the little paintbrush and paint can in her hand.

"Great," Luis said as he looked at the wall which had once again merged with the rest of the ball. "Now return the paintbrush and can to the closet."

Ciara did as she was told but when she returned Luis was nowhere to be found and that was when she began to regain her consciousness.

She looked around the gym which was now cleaned up and couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"I thought this place was all messed up or was it a dream." She was utterly confused. "It feels like I just woke up from sleep but yet I'm standing."

Luis walked at a great pace until he got to the front of the library.

"That was close." He heaved a sigh of relief before opening the door to the library.
