ENDURERS

While Androe narrated at one corner, Combatants at the other side were furious on Mr. Ulver.

They condemned his biased behaviour of not discussing his decision with all the reverenced Combatants.

It made them rage against him, for taking them all into the cursed ring, without their consent.

They created Chaos, trying to figure out, what type of place that was.

While those men with knowledge about tricky chants kept on with their magical term DIVULGAR, the rest explored the place simply with PROFFER.

" WHAT IS THIS PIECE OF LAND? WHY CAN'T WE GET A PEEK OF SUN OR THE MOON?", a man screamed and following him, the rest staggered around the place in trepidation.

Their commotion disturbed the peace of narration.

" Look at those men running for their life! Inspite of having these many people near, look them getting frightened. If they were left out in her position, what would they do?", Androe commented at the Combatants behaviour to the TARANTULUS brigademates.

They all giggled at their elders behaviours, for their faces seemed pretty awful- reddish, covered in sweat, frightening eyes as if bulging out.

They turned their head towards Androe again, curious to know who he referred to just a while ago.

He continued...

SHE WAS SOMETHING EXTRA ORDINARY, TO HAVE PASSED ON OVER TO PETULANDO BY GOD'S GRACE- FEARLESS BUT TENDER.

IT WAS A BRIGHT WARM DAY AT PETULANDO, WERE PEOPLE LOOKED BUSY AT NOON. OUT OF ALL THE PLACES, A MARKET AT GRAKEWOOD ALONE SEEMED EXCEPTIONALY CROWDED, THAT TOO PEOPLE RUSHING TO ONE PARTICULAR PLACE.

THE ONES WHO PASSED BY JOINED THE CROWD AT SOME MOMENT, WHEN THEY GOT IN, TO CHECK OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON.

THE NEWS PASSED OVER FROM A PERSON TO A FAMILY, FROM A FAMILY TO THEIR NEIGHORS... NEIGHBORS TO RELATIVES AT THE NEXT CITY AND SO ON, IT SPREAD MOST AREAS AT PETULANDO.

SOLDIERS WORKING AT THE REGIME WERE THE ONES LEFT UNDER PRESSURE, AS HUGE CROWDS MIGHT MAKE PEOPLE JOSTLE, ENDING UP IN RIOT.

'TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAD MAGIC ON THEIR HANDS, WHAT IS SO FACINATING TO THEM MORE THAN THAT?' LAMENTED THE SOLDIERS, WHO AT SOME POINT BULGED INTO THE CROWD PUSHING PEOPLE AWAY.

'A WOMAN? WHAT IS SHE SHOWING OFF FOR THESE MINUTES? ENQUIRE HER?'

THE SOLDIERS HEAD SENT ONE OF HIS MEN TO HER, WHO RAN BACK TO HIM WITH A NEWS.

' IT IS SHE! DAUGHTER OF HEROLTH! WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO' THE SOLDIER SAID TO HIS HEAD IN A WORRY.

MEKDENEL, SHE WAS THE ONES WHO GATHERED PEOPLE. JUST AT HER TWENTIES, SHE WAS COURAGEOUS ENOUGH TO SHOW OFF HER SORCERY TO PEOPLE, ENCOURAGING WOMEN TO JOIN HER TOO.

SOLDIERS AT THE TOWN WERE SO MUCH TROUBLED BY HER, SINCE MESSING UP WITH HER MIGHT MAKE THEM END UP IN TROUBLE. SHE HAD NO INTENTION TO USE HER FATHER'S INFLUENCE, BUT TO STOP THOSE CRUEL MEN'S TRAIT, THAT WAS HER ONLY WAY...

" What type of charm did she show off? Was she that talented?", Eric interrupted in the middle of the narration, spoiling each of his friends interest.

" Oh, Eric? Can't you wait? You never miss a chance to spoil a thrilling moment!", yelled Chantley elbowing him, while the ones sitting next to him seemed extremely annoyed.

I think I'm saying more than enough- said Androe, understanding Eric's mind.

" Let me finish it off, instead of beating around the bush", he said again.

" No..no..no! It's all because of him", youngsters cried to Androe, duly hitting Eric's head blaming him for that.

" Anyways, let me finish it off quick since we lack time. Mekdenel put on a show that day, exposing how inevitable her Sorcery was. She did something insane that no man in Ogle could ever figure out", saying Androe sat erect and explained with gestures.

He lifted his hands up and brought it down slowly, gesturing as if a Maestro.

" This is how she waved her hands to lift up water from a wooden bowl. Her fingers controlled water, while the clouds gathered above her head waited to suck the water away. That was what people expected too. But, she made the crowd go crazy by turning the water into flaming fire, which upon burning for minutes, disappeared into ashes", Androe smiled while saying, which made the youngsters get goosebumps all over.

THEN SHE COULD'VE NEVER BEEN FROM A NORMAL GUILD. SHE MIGHT BE SOMEONE WITH EXTRACENSORY GUILD- words exploded from Scizians mouth without his knowledge.

" Yes! Petulans who felt happy at first, began to feel anxious day by day. That was how Noble Men felt too. They felt the odour of happiness only until she was on her right mind. They began to overthink what she might do if her mind went insane. Each and every minute of her stay threatened the people at Grakewook, fearing if she might turn harmful. This made all the leaders of Ogle get in contact. They warned Mekdenel, his father as well as Felkock. The disrespectful response from those three made leaders rage against them, who planned of destroying her in secret. Herolth before being agianst his daughter, began to protect her, putting all his trust on her. But unfortunately, things went out of hand without their knowledge. As per their plan, the Nobles succeeded in casting a dark spell on one of her posession, that eventually brought an end to her".

The youngsters never expected such an ending, that made them feel so bad for her.

Eventhough those youngsters felt bad for her, they felt relieved at one side, for not being exceptional at Sorcerey.

It was so sad that the story of Meldenel left a bad impression on their mind, that being great in magic might make them end up in fatal trouble.

Androe finihed off his narration by a strong qoute," Whatsoever! Besides being a legend, its normal that she fell into their trap like how all beings make mistake. But we can't deny the fact why we are called as Endurers! She never gave up until the end! Mekdenel endured till the end of her life and that's why Heptons could never take over us from being calling us crazy ENDURERS".
