The Second War of West: Part Three

Everyone looked at Elgin and Aliyah asked silently, "Why didn't you told me such a crucial fact earlier?" Elgin said, "Even I got to know about it a few weeks ago. Sophia is carrying some orc babies and looking at the closeness between Tammy and Krymon, it is pretty obvious that the kids are Krymon's." Tammy said angrily, "Don't you have any shame, Elgin. You are putting such a heavy blame on him without any evidence." Elgin said angrily, "You are a fool to still disbelieve me. Krymon himself proved his closeness with Sophia before your marriage with her. I swear on Mother Manaca that she is carrying ogre babies. I have felt it myself."

Aliyah said, "It is possible. Krymon is a sexual predator and loves to fuck any woman he sees. Sophia was no different and he must have exploited her when he used to visit your palace." Tammy looked at Krymon and asked, "Is it true?" Krymon said grimly, "Definitely not. I do like to fuck women but I'm not so disloyal to exploit my friend's wife, that too a queen." Aliyah said angrily, "Of course. He will deny the accusations, Tammy. People like him don't like to admit their crimes and will try his best to conceal his dark and dirty secrets." Elgin said, "I can bring proof. Just wait for a day." Tammy said, "There's no need for that. Even if your words are true, your crimes still needs to be punished." Aliyah said angrily, "There's no point arguing with him. He has always been a moron and now will die as a moron." Krymon laughed, "Kill her such horribly that no one tries to attack Tammy in near future." They jumped on each other and started fighting. Aliyah rolled and thrusted his spear in Lysander's right foot and kicked him in the chest. Lysander fell a distance and caught his foot.

Aliyah was about to kill him, but Krymon pushed her and then punched her in the face and kicked her in the chest. Lysander stood up and wrapped a dead soldier's cloth around his foot and rose. He caught Elgin and threw him and then kicked him on the face. Elgin caught his feet and pressed the injured area and the area started to bleed. Lysander kicked Elgin and Elgin's nose started to bleed. Elgin still kept pressing the leg and Lysander screamed. He took Elgin in a military press and then threw him on the ground. Elgin rolled and fell on the ground hurting his hands and shoulder.

Hilda jumped and slashed her axe at Lysander but his heavy armor easily withstand the attack and he caught Hilda and threw her on the ground and stomped her with his heavy shoes. Hilda coughed some blood and Lysander hitted her left knee with this heavy mace and smashed it. He laughed, "Pathetic waste. You are nothing like your brother." Hilda smiled, "And you are going to regret it." Lysander looked and saw a wild boar running towards him and knocked him with his full force. Lysander fell on the ground and looked at the boar who was Elgin. Elgin smiled, "Magic beats even the toughest of the opponents."

He rose and was about to attack him when Hilda threw her axe at Lysander and it hitted him on the helmet and Elgin pushed him out of the window. Lysander fell on the ground and died. Krymon and Tammy looked at that and moved towards Elgin to attack him but, Aliyah and Vexana ran and pushed Elgin aside. Tammy drew out his sword and slashed at Aliyah's hand which got fatally wounded. Aliyah rolled and managed to save her from another attack but it still cut her left shin. Elgin tried to attack him with his magic, but Krymon wrapped a cloth around his mouth and tied his hands with magic.

Krymon was about to chop off Elgin's head, when a mace landed on his head and he lost balance. He looked and saw that Hilda was smiling at him and said, "Fight someone who can take your attacks." Krymon laughed, "Your knee is injured and you can barely stand up. Do you really think that you can defeat me?" Krymon ran towards her, but tripped on Trisha's body. He roared in anger and chopped off her left hand. Alice saw this and then happened which didn't happened in the last five hundred years. Alice's immense anger empowered the spear and her skin started to turn red and more red, till it turned completely crimson. She roared in anger and the whole air around her started to turn crimson and crimson dust started to encircle her.

All the elves, Tammy, Elgin, Vexana, Elena, Trisha, Krymon and Hilda looked at her with both fear and awe. Even Aliyah couldn't handle the rage of her anger and jumped out of her body. Aliyah said with fear, "I don't want to see what will happen next." Alice grasped her spear tightly and started running towards Krymon. Krymon pulled a soldier before him and Alice chopped him into two halves. Krymon said, "Save me, Tammy. Save me." Tammy said angrily, "Kill her." All the elves, ogres and mercenaries ran towards her. Alice picked up a sword and started cutting all of them one by one. The wizards tried to bind her with magic, but the crimson dust around her stopped all the magic and released small arrows which killed all the wizards. Tammy and Krymon started running for their lives and descended downstairs quickly. Alice jumped on them and caught Tammy. She took Tammy and hitted him with her head. Tammy started to get dizzy and Alice threw him downstairs to his death.

Krymon turned into a gargoyle and started running hastily towards the exit of the kingdom. Alice jumped out of window and the dust around her transformed into wings and she gave Krymon a chase. Krymon hid behind the clouds as Alice looked for him as an angry lioness. All gathered around Tammy's dead body and Aliyah sighed, "Bad relations always bring calamity to oneself." Alice slashed every cloud till she saw Krymon's wings protruding out of the clouds. She slashed the wings and chopped them off. Krymon screamed and fell on the ground.

Alice jumped on him with her sword, but he rolled and kicked her. Krymon took her and threw her on the ground and stomped on her leg. Alice looked at Krymon and caught his leg and bit it till she took out a huge chunk of meat from it. She then rolled and kicked him on the chest and threw him on the ground. Krymon said, "Please, don't kill me. I will leave this kingdom and go away forever." Alice took out her spear and thrusted it inside Krymon's chest. Krymon fell on the ground and took his last breath. Alice still kept stabbing his dead body with the several times and Aliyah caught her and said, "He's dead. Calm down now." Alice pushed her away and again started stabbing Krymon's dead body. All caught her and then slowly she started to get a little normal and then fell unconscious on the ground.

Alice slowly opened her eyes and saw that all were sitting beside her, encircling her from all sides. Alice asked slowly, "Did we win the war?" All looked at her and smiled. Aliyah slowly massaged her head and smiled, "Don't worry. Tammy and Krymon escaped from the kingdom when they saw their defeat was inevitable. They won't trouble us anymore." Alice smiled, "It's good they are alive. I always kind of felt bad for Tammy. Poor man. He poured his whole heart out." Elgin smiled, "Definitely. His whole body felt light after that." Aliyah said, "Let her relax. She needs rest.

She has helped me too much today in the war. Without her, it would have been impossible to win the war." Alice smiled, "You are one whom we should all thank. Without your wise and encouraging words, we would have lost all the hope of winning." Aliyah smiled and took all of them outside and closed the door behind her. Hilda asked, "So, she doesn't remember anything about her rage mode rampage?" Aliyah said slowly, "It's only good that she doesn't remember anything about that. Deaths of Tammy and Krymon must be kept hidden from her as it will only give her nightmares and trouble her mind.

In worst cases, it may be create reflections of her rage avatar. Too much stress will create confusions in her mind and maybe her rage mode avatar will be even more uncontrollable then. What she did today was definitely not ordinary. She killed the whole army of ogres, elves and elite mercenaries and moreover she did the shield attack on the wizards which takes years of magic training.

She controlled her magic and made her body a centre of the chaotic blood magic. Krymon didn't even stand a chance before her." Elgin asked, "But, what triggered her?" Aliyah smiled, "Friendship. She is just like Mother Manaca. Like her, she also doesn't tolerate her friends getting tortured by others. Her anger mixed with the spear and her skin started to turn crimson and that gave her the immense power to fight and kill a powerful and dangerous warrior like Krymon." Hilda said, "Whatever happened today was justified but it was not expected. If I had killed Krymon, my reputation among the ogres would have increased rapidly and they would have started to fear me and appoint me as their queen."

Aliyah smiled, "My father used to say that if you are unable to become powerful yourself, then you should make powerful allies. So, here take it as a gift." She handed her a scroll and said, "Don't thank me after reading it. I have done what is right." Hilda opened the scroll and read and said, "You want me to act as a puppet queen under and you want Orc Valley under your kingdom too."

Aliyah said smiling, "You think about it yourself, Hilda. The ogres think you have helped us to kill your brother, not that you have killed your brother yourself. For them, you are their enemy and why would they take you as a queen if you are nothing but a backstabbing bitch for them? And even if that doesn't convince you then think about your son. Krymon killed one of your sons and now he's dead too. Your vengeance is completed and now you have to see the sunny side of your life now. Stay here and keep yourself and your kid safe. Orc Valley is rich and maybe a little more civilized and organized than before. So, my proposal is mutually beneficial. I get some gold and men here and you get some respect and power there.

Tammy spent all his royal tenure under your brother's thumb and I will to admit he did enjoyed his time. Krymon was selfish and a parasite, so Tammy bore the consequences. But, I'm a good and kind host and will always think for your best." Hilda sighed, "You and your politics are unbearable. I will still agree to your proposal, but I have a condition." Aliyah said, "Okay." Hilda said, "My husband will become the king." Aliyah asked, "Who is your husband?" Hilda replied, "Jammy." Aliyah and Elgin said, "What!!" Hilda smiled, "Yes. We fell in love when he and Tammy used to visit my kingdom in the winters. Things got too heated and soon I was pregnant with his kids. We secretly married and wanted to talk with Tammy about it. But, Krymon would have never supported this relationship and this fear suppressed our love. But, now with both Tammy and Krymon dead, we can finally live a happy and peaceful life." Elgin said grimly, "But, you do know that Jammy is the same kind of person like Krymon and him being the king will be disastrous."

Hilda said, "He has changed after Verona's suicide. He sweared on his kid and promised that he will be a good king and not like his brother." Aliyah said, "Okay. I will think about it." Hilda smiled and went away. Aliyah looked at Elgin and said grimly, "Find Jammy and make his death look like an accident. I will take care of this nonsense woman." Elgin nodded and about to go when Aliyah said, "After their deaths, I want you to become the king and bring the elf army to the mortal world. Xao Chang is still out there, being a problem for us." Elgin smiled and disappeared in white mist. Aliyah smiled, "Looks like my friends are learning new things." She smiled and disappeared in purple smoke....
