Chapter-4

*THUD* the dust settled down revealing a pair of legs as the man stood back up to his full height. A tall muscular man with a lean built body stood there ... He pulled out a dagger from his pants and held it between his mouth he ran towards the wall in front and with a mighty jump held on the small crease.

Then slow positioned himself to jump he brought his legs closer to his stomach and looked at his right side a little above were metal rods coming out from the wall and going above him was another end of the wall. He jumped towards the rods and held on it and before he lose the momentum he jumped back towards the centre above holding the top of the wall and pulled himself up easily landing on the terrace of the small house made of rocks.

Taking the dagger out of his mouth he walked towards the wide opening in the centre . There were two men sitting down on the chairs discussing some blueprints "siati al-gaish greiba elly hanna. ayn khalde la yemkenna an netakher alaan.(The police will be here soon. Where is Khalid? We can't be late now)" when he heard some footsteps coming from the staircase room. He quickly hid at the side of the entrance.

A man came out in with a mat folded in his hand but before he could move further he was pulled towards the side as his mouth got covered by a hand and the dagger was swiftly passed through his heart as his body shook before going motionless slowly the dagger was pulled out and the body fell down.

The man twisted the dagger in his hand to hold it backwards. Then ran towards the opening and jumped straight down and *SPLASH* the dagger went straight through the head out of the throat of the man sitting down. The other man was shocked as his breath left his body and looked at the killer who pulled out his dagger loosely hanging it in his fingers making him gulp.

"ma stefalle lin yode ella elly tedmirk. yemkenk katli lacank lin tvos abda(what you are doing will only bring doom to us all.....you can kill me but you won't win) " as the leaned closer to him with his dagger "tham sunletque comeia fe al-jahim(then we all will meet in hell)." Said the Man in deep dark tone Making the other guy scream and turn around to run but he was grabbed by his neck as his throat was slit.

He turned around and saw the blueprints on the table. He looked at them and made sure it was complete and rolled them when he heard a scream from behind and saw that a man was running towards him with a knife. He opened the chain of his jacket and placed the blueprints inside and the moment the guy reached to hit him. He kicked his knee hard causing the guy to fall down and twisted his head throwing him aside and closed up his chain.

He ran towards the exit but as he stepped out bullets were fired which he barely dodged and jumped back inside. Flipping his dagger in hand he looked in the mirror of the car parked outside and saw the man was standing on his left. Watching his position he took few steps back and then ran forwards and jumped on the ground doing a few rolls while the man started firing blindly.

The man quickly shifted and jumped in the air and aimed at the man throwing his dagger straight at him hitting in his head as his lifeless body fell backwards. The man walked towards and leaned down to pull out his dagger when he saw two more people came out from the house and saw him. They came running at him as he quickly pulled out the dagger.

The first guy tried to punch him in the face which he caught with his left hand and twisted hit making the guy scream in pain as he stabbed his shoulder deep inside and kicked him down. The other guy was scared after seeing this and tried to run back the man pulled the dagger out and threw at his back piercing his heart and that guy fell down as well. He saw the first guy still squirming in pain as he kicked his neck hard breaking it instantly without a least bit of emotions. He walked towards the other guy and pulled out his dagger.

"Still as cruel as always.. how's the most deadly hunter of team Zander's doing? Or shall I say Team Zyraxeus?" The man's brows furrowed as he cleaned the blood on his dagger on the clothes of the body below and looked above him on the terrace with a glare and saw Kray standing there with a grin with his signature specs shining under the bright sun.

"What happened Shane? Shocked? I was too.. but Lord Zyraxeus has summoned you. You.. spent enough holidays in saudi anyways. It's time for us to rise" kray kneeled down and lowered his hand for Shane to hold who gave a dark grin as he took hold of his hand and jumped up as kray pulled up as well.

The sword shined in a low shimmer as it cut through the darkness of the room at a blinding speed as Zyraxeus twisted and drived straight it through the metallic ball hanging in front as the energy in the sword slowly started seeping in the ball breaking it apart burned.

He flipped the sword as he heard mechanical sounds all around from him as several hundred electrified bullets were fired at him as his eyes glowed and he swung the swords at an inhumane speed cutting through the bullets single handedly without getting hit even by one.

One after another bullets were falling as the sounds of firing could be heard loudly from outside. Many were scared of the sounds. Ever since he got the sword his routinely trainings have been becoming more and more dangerous. He closed his eyes skillfully swinging sword in all directions and dodging few bullets easily.

He remembered a memory of his childhood. A small Zyrax in the age of 9 was crying as he got a cut on his hand while his mother hugged him tightly tending his wound. His father looked at him emotionlessly 'Zyrax.. always remember one thing. You are the future of Zander's. Their king whom they look up to. Blood is not something we are afraid of. It isn't a sign of weakness. It's shows our valour and the warrior that you are' he was looking at father trying to control his tears with quick breaths.

'one day you will be strong enough to hold my sword. That day you will understand who you truly are Son' he further saw himself during his teen years how his father used to be so proud over him. How he bested his father's right hand man. How he killed the first enemy who threatened his people. How his father sent him away before the war saying 'everything will be alright..' the last hug they shared before he left.

Tears fell down his eyes as his grip tightened on the sword. The stoned shined fuelled by his rage as his movements became much faster as a glow increased and spread accross the sword covering it in purple hue. His eyes shot open almost turning red from purple as did a swift spin causing a pulse of energy to leave from the sword all around him towards the guns above shooting at home bursting them all at one.

The huge blasting sound came from the world which was heard throughout the base "aaaarrrghhhhh!!!!!!!!" He roared as the energy slowly dimmed as his breaths became heavy. Tears falling from his eyes as he was full of anger "i know now what you meant father.. this is my kingdom and i will protect my people at any cost.. i swear your death won't go in vain.. i will kill him with my very hands and end it all" as he wiped his eyes looking at the mess he created causing him to sigh when he suddenly heard knocking on his door.

"Come in" as he turned around towards the gate holding his sword in his hand. The door opened and he saw his best hunter walking in with a surprised look at the condition of the room making Zyraxeus smirk "welcome Shane. I hope you got the blueprints i asked you to get" Shane nodded as he opened the chain of his jacket half and pulled the top of blueprints out as Zyraxeus nodded then put them back.

"Why have you called me here my lord? I would taken care of this myself" he looked at Zyraxeus "i didn't called you for this Shane. Miya will take care of it. I have a new mission for you. Orions got something of ours. You need to go to Toronto for that. Miya will fill you up with rest of the details" Shane looked at him with no emotions in his eyes "that's your father's sword. Isn't it?" Zyraxeus looked down at the sword in his hand and pulled it up between their faces

"Yes.. it's the same one. Thought we lost it?" As Shane shook his head "no i knew you will find it sooner or later. What matters is you controlled it. Reminds of the past memories when master used to hold it and serve judgement. You sure deserve it" as Zyraxeus lowered the sword "i know what you mean.. maybe father isn't with me anymore. But his presence will always stay with me through this sword" causing Shane to nod.

He looked at Shane and placed a hand on his shoulder "i want it Shane. What you are going for is very important for us. Do whatever it takes" and leaned closer "i got a new set ready up for you. Get ready for the hunt" lowering his hand he motioned Shane to go as he started leaving "and Shane!" He stopped in his tracks turning his head to side looking at Zyraxeus "don't come back without it." Making him gulp as he nodded and left the room.
