The hot war (The barbarian way)

It's the Mist of Dream that makes the army of Black clan blinded by illusion. They can no more differ right from wrong making them king's puppets. It's all because of Dark Highness.

He triggered the element of greed in king and trapped him for his benefits. In short, it's not the king that play the Dirty Game on his own but he is the pawn of the Dark Highness. His demon of greed is eating the souls of innocent people, breaking the rules of Mystica...

Neil stopped Alfiyya as her nose bled. The use of her magic made her weak, "Stop it. The spell of dark highness is affecting you." He held her in his arms as she was losing her balance.

The tension between Neil and Alfiyya made them awkward. Neil realized the stares of Alga on them and fake coughed leaving her. He uttered, "We are already short of people."

Alfiyya thought to mess up with her elf best friend, so she cutely pouted while saying, "You don't care for me but my magic. Am I that bad ?" It made Neil blush hard widening his eyes.

Alga spoke in his pissed tone looking at both of them annoyed. "You little witch has hit your head somewhere very hard, so that you are acting even more weird then before."

They all were nagging. It was their usual routine. They have been teasing each other for centuries. It was their habit.

They all looked at Aella dressed up in a long white gown, giving them the vibes of an angel walking on earth. Without blinking their eyes, their mouth wide opened.

They all came out of the daze of her beauty when she said, "The human Aella was youngest daughter of a noble family, king ordered to kill her family. The Secrets are yet to be revealed. We need to find the orange crystal and kill the demon of greed. We must fix everything that was the responsibility of human Aella. We have to find killer of this dimension 's Aella. There are so many things to be done. So many mysteries to be solved. I need to avenge her."

At first they all were amazed when they saw Aella talking too much for the first time, but shrugged it thinking it may be her human hormones.

Alga with determination, said to his commander, "When is going to be the first attack Commander?"

Neil curiously asked his commander, "We have not planned anything yet. Alfiyya is not in condition to fight. How are we doing it under the spell of Dark Highness ?"

Aella smirked at the question of Neil and said in her usual cold tone, "Improvising, the first attack will be on the royal depository to end this great famine, we are not fighting. There is no need of shedding blood. Don't forget that you are talking to the great warrior of Mystica, your Commander, I am that whirlwind which can destroy anything. Have faith in me and prepare for ambush, the fun is greater than you think".

Little did they know, someone was listening everything, exactly what Aella wanted. She thought to herself, "You can outsmart her but not me. Your one wrong step and your story will end. I will be waiting for it".

Aella felt good among those human. The way they cared for her was so natural. She felt different.

They were respecting her not for her mighty identity but her humanity which was new to her. She was enjoying it and she wanted to bring them justice.

She was ready for hot war and said to her companions, "They called us barbarian. We will show them our barbaric side now."

This was the first step against knights of Black's Clan. The actual declaration of war. The journey was tough with no planning. Aella took the step because she knew she was on right path.
