208 || Chapter 203 || A Challenge (Part 2)

A powerful explosion took place!

The ground cracked like a shattered mirror. Dust, shattered ice and a frosty mist clouded the air. Shouts and screams noised within the courtyard.

The knights immediately rushed forward to help their comrades who were caught by the explosion. The weak servants hurried to the safety of the doors uncertain of how the situation suddenly turned terrible.

Dread filled Alaric's eyes, he gnashed his teeth and forcibly grabbed Heizea' collar, "What Have you done!!"

"I… I… " The woman was dazed. Eyes widening shock. 

Alaric threw her to the side with a curse, letting her stumble to the ground, and hurried to the dispersing smoke. Anxiousness marred his expression. He begged the gods for the young master to be alright. Veins pulsed in his neck. Fear gripped his heart.

Rocks crushed under his boots as he rushed through the crowd of people. 

Crackle!
