CHAPTER 6
Commander Viguel P.O.V
************************** Carrying out the king's order, I assembled a team of five archers, twelve swordsmen and three magicians making a total of twenty-one including me.
Outside the gate of the palace, I began filling the team in about the place we are visiting or rather storming.
"What's the plan sir?" Zira a skilled female archer had asked.
Nice question.You archers should stay on top of trees as where we are heading to is full of trees. Am quite sure you all know the wander woods in
Groovebane.
"Yes sir" they all chorused or so I thought they all did..
"No,i don't"
I turned to my left to see who had uttered that and found out it was the same Zira that had
asked the question earlier.
"All my life,i have never been out of this kingdom. The few places I know of is Nefrin town, Kiane
town and....
"Shut up and stop blabbing. When did I say that Groovebane is out of this kingdom?. All you need to focus on is that the house we are visiting is
surrounded by bushes and tall trees. Now listen as I fill you in about the plans and formations.
"Am sorry sir" She said with a slight bow.
You archers stay on top of trees and watch for any signs while I lead six of the swordsmen to
attack directly from the rear and the other six should attack from the back.One magician will
stay with me and the other two should stay with the other swordsmen team.
"Thomas!!"
"Sir"
"You should lead the other team" I said.
"Yes sir" the brown haired warrior replied.
"Good.So magicians, let's be on our way" I said
motioning to Tinzel, Lucas, and Saran.
They stepped forward and started moving their hands in unison as blue lines emerged.
"RAKUS VANUSH VANUSH!!!" they all chorused. And then a blue hollow circle appeared and
everyone including me went in.
****************************
We emerged at a distance close to the house and I began ushering my team to their various positions.
"Archers to your positions"
In one swift motion, Zira and her fellow archers crept silently and began climbing suitable trees
laying ambush for the enemy.
I called on my own six swordsmen team with Saran as the team's magician. Now,Tinzel and Lucas will teleport the other team directly to the back of the house while Saran stay with me.
In no time, the team was a teleported leaving behind me and my team.
"You two should flank them at both side" I said
pointing to Zulu and Jason.
"Yes sir" They replied before Zulu moved on the left direction and Jason to the right.
"Perfect, let's move guys" I motioned to the other four swordsmen left. Moving in the most silent and fast pace ever, we got to the front of the house and I began gesticulating with my fingers.It's gonna be good
if we catch our enemy unaware and am glad they all know what each finger meant. Raising my smallest finger and thumb up,two men went to both left and right of the door.
Counting with my fingers ,
5..............4............3.............2............1.............0.
I gave the door a heavy kick sending it ajar.I did a forward roll into the house and others followed suit.
And then we began searching for our culprit. I personally went to the rooms, kitchen and
everywhere but all effort was futile. I guess they had fled the house. Looking around the sitting room, I saw a sword
hanged beside a grandfather clock.I took it and examined it,nothing out of the contrary but i took it with me anyway as the king should be able to figure out something with it.
"Saran, sensed anything so far?" I asked the magician.
"No sir, it's amazing they left with their tracks hidden.
"tracks?"
"Yes sir, I mean their scents and auras they did well in covering them. I even tried tracking them
with some stuffs I saw in the kitchen but it proved abortive. It's obvious this house is
enchanted and anyone who is capable of doing that must be a powerful magician.
"Really"
"Yes sir, only powerful magicians have the power of enchanting."
"Well then, I think we lost them this time. Sound the whistle"
He did as I've instructed and we went outside to see others.
"Anything from you guys?" I asked.
"No sir" they all replied.
"SET THE HOUSE ABLAZE" I commanded.
Tinzel, Lucas and Saran began their move, it was as if they have been waiting for the order.
"EVA INTELLEPTI EN LIGHTE!!!"
two balls of fire appeared each on the hands of the magicians and before I knew it the house was on fire.
"Nice, let's go home"

DAVID P.O.V
****************************
our house was on fire and it was already halfway burnt.
I stood transfixed at my position. My body was numb, couldn't think of anything else than Peace, mum and dad.Every nerve in my body was
temporarily shut down. it took me some minutes before it registered to me that I have to put off the fire. I started running like a wild dog, that kind of run
that even the best runner in Nissin will get jealous of. In no time, I was already in front of our house and was looking for water to quench the blazing
fire. I searched everywhere for water but my search was futile.
And then I remembered, the old man says am the chosen one right??.i should be able to do
something. BI tried everything I can to bring out water but nothing happened. This was the time I needed my magic most and I just can't bring out anything and the old man is
calling me the chosen one.
Screw him and his goatee beard. I slumped to the ground when all my effort to perform magic failed. Had no choice than to wait till the fire subsides down.
And then I saw the fire subsiding. I stood up to see where the water quenching the fire came from and later realized it was from the old man.
How he got here, I don't even know. Springs of water was shooting from his fingers
and he was spraying the house till the house was no longer burning. I hurriedly went inside.
PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The old man came inside and went to one corner of our sitting room and rolled off the now burnt rug. To my utmost surprise, he pulled the up the wooden floor and everyone came out.
