Tony only wished he had ten throwing axes. He ran briskly down the steps to the towers and motioned for the gate. The gate was wide open and many were still charging in and out of the gates. Half it was blown down by a trebuchet. The blood scattered everywhere.
He mounted his horse and started to gallop to the main base of the enemy. He grabbed out a throwing axe. One he sighed well I got to work with it.
He threw the throwing axe. But unexpectedly it duplicated into ten! Strange. That never happened before. He looked down to see that he was glowing.
These must be my powers!!! Even though I never used them and I don't know what I am capable of. But I am gonna have to use it, he thought.
He galloped to the enemy camp. He quietly crouched through the first couple tents. He found a tent saying "officers tent." He went inside finding chairs and tables placed in the middle of the gigantic tent. On all sides were cabinets and shelves filled with some material.
He looked at each cabinet. They allied have the cammaders' names on a print which sat in the middle of each drawer and cabinets. He searched all over the sides of the tent to search for the name "Zheria."
Finally a print saying Zheria in black appeared on one of the drawers. He actually learned Zheria's real full name was Zheria Pontarenson. He opened the drawer searching for a specific item. A shiny glow tucked inside the drawer caught his eyes. He picked up the glow and it revealed a crystal. He obviously knew that this must be Zheria's power.
A voice called right behind him, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU LITTLE BRAT?!"
He turned to see a void woman with a dark black cloak and some dust on her. Right behind her were two void men soldiers with their high tier armor and cloaks as well.
"Take him!," Zheria yelled.
He slowly reached for his throwing axes. He kept his hands behind him and thought I would need two. Two throwing axes spawned in his hands. He swiftly released his arm he was hiding and threw it at the two soldiers. It hit them both in the head. He forced the two axes to come back, this time aiming sharply at Zheria.
Zheria's reaction was quite obvious. She used her powers and spawned a shield. She didn't have to look anywhere. She grinned slightly, "looks like you have powers. I only saw 1 throwing axe in your belt. You managed to get two and force them back to aim at me. Finally I have a good match."
"You have one. And this one will defeat you, you dirty bastard," Tony responded without hesitation. "Still you have no luck near you. I have many powers you haven't discovered from me yet."
Zheria's grin turned into a deep frown, "well let's start then. What are you waiting for?"
Tony went first and exclaimed, "throwing knives! Duplicate!!!"
It suddenly duplicated to a hundred and went at lightning speed. Still, Zheria's power was stronger than him%u2026 well that's what Zheria thinks. In a blink she had her kite shaped, forcefield shield up. Half of all the axes landed there. The other sneaked to her back but she instantly blocked it again.
"Your powers are not as good as mine. Your victory can never be confirmed. Surrender. If you do, I can let you escape. If you don't, well then, suffer the consequences," Zheria said.
"You ruined our family, our notion, our world's life. You think I'm gonna let you get away with it," Tony responded with pride.
"Well I expect you do get away with it. Either way. If you don't I think you will learn%u2026 battle on," she said.
Zheria went for a full on strike. She let out a powerful punch causing her fists to erupt in flames causing a yellow aura. He reacted by putting his arms in a defensive "x" position.
The strike jerked him back onto one of the tables. He then disappeared out of sight. Zheria was confused, where did he go? He must have disappeared.
"No I haven't. Look around you," A dark voice called out.
She looked around her surroundings. The floor, no, the earth was shaking. It will soon explode! She needed something to protect her.
The voice called again, "still haven't figured out Zheria? Well let me explain. This might confuse you and let me say out loud, it was you that got in this yourself."
Confusion was at the point where it turned mind blowing, the world around her turned into some kind of reversed universe. She asked, "what do you mean? It was you that did something."
"I mean that you jerked me with that strike until I hit a table. But Before that I put your crystal on my belt. Since you have a connection with the crystal the crystal must have broken. Heh, nothing will happen to it anyways. I studied enough at school and this is the result."
"Then how do I get back to normal consciousness," she asked.
"That you have to figure yourself out, enemy. If you could've surrendered your army then you wouldn't be in this situation first of all."
Zheria had no way of thinking how to get out. She figured she would try a plan that she thought would be impossible. But she had to try.
She thought that if she were unconscious but she was still in this "world" then that must mean she had to get back to her real body. She tried to smell, she smelled nothing. She tried to feel, but she felt nothing, not even her feet move even though she was walking.
It made sense%u2026 She saw a blue border that was sort of like a force field. She thought if she could walk out of the border and then gain consciousness back. That was the only thing that crossed through her mind.
She walked briskly to the border. She touched the blue, transparent border. Suddenly she could feel her hand again. She went her whole body through. She opened her eyes and saw Tony leaning right on a shelf.
"Well, well, look who woke up from her sleep," He said.
"You may have one last one," Zheria grinned.
Tony stopped smiling, "go on show me your moves."
"TIME STOP," was the last thing Tony heard from Zheria.
He stopped moving, his breathing stopped instantly, Zheria had stopped time%u2026 for now.
. . . . . .
Era 8, iron age, 10 leisure, 3400 date,
Time had started again, it wasn't a surprise that Zheria would escape. Tony wondered what time it was. He looked up to see that the campsite was gone. He looked at his wet back. All muddy from the grass. He sighed.
He checked for his weapons on his belt. Bow and arrow%u2026 check. Short mace%u2026 check. Throwing knives%u2026 one again, it seemed like his powers can let things restart to one when you have none of that left.
He stared at the city. The bright red banner with the lion on it rose up high in the bright blue sky. It represented that they had won. He looked besides him. There was a letter on the grass. He picked it up. The back was already affected by the mud. He opened it. What caught his eyes was the title: secret plan, siege plan of Zhareshburg. Now he was eagerly wanting to read it. The script words on the paper said:
Phase 1: trebuchet. The new technology has come out. Instead of putting a stone in there. There is a twist. We made a new poisonous stone called: DILICO. It contains poison in it. Once fired somewhere. People in the explosion will have blood transported into their origins. Once inside, the enemy's body explodes, unleashing blood all over the walls. This blood can make the walls dissolve it's stone or material.
Phase two: breaking the walls. Once fired twice onto both front walls. There will be walls that have tons of stone inside. They are special troopers. They can use a double row strike to break the wall. There will be about 100 troopers on all sides of the wall with 10-70 troops behind them once the walls break.
Phase three: charge. The troops and special troopers will storm the area. Slaying as many people they can find. Prisoners will be tortured. Some prisoners will become voids men or voids women by a spell.
Phase four: Victory. Once dealt with the prisoners. The troops will have a rest at the stolen tavern, or just roaming around. Reinforcements will guard and scout the nearby area. If another army comes, they fight again, just with our stolen mangonel we captured. And most importantly, we raise the void banner.
From, Zheria
To, Maleonic
It took Tony quite a long time to read the letter. Once finished, He tucked the letter in his bag strapped from his shoulder to hip. He made a deep sigh and went on his way. He marched down the hill looking around the city to see if anything bad happened to it. The left tower, or from his perspective the right tower was getting reconstructed. The gates were blown up and wood cutters were busily making more wood to fix the gates.
He came closer to see the troops waving and shouting at him, "Lord! Tony the Marquess Has come back!"
Immediately the gates opened and allowed Tony to enter. The city wasn't as crowded as usual. Many doors were closed. Market employees come out very infrequently. Only soldiers were seen across the streets. Some go outside but immediately turn around to their homes.
He turned around the corner walls and saw their house. The sign labeled it's beautiful scripted words: Silverson's House. He knocked on the door twice but the response was slow. He heard his sister, Hol, or what they called her Holly, "coming!"
She opened the door, a look of surprise and relief was on her face. She turned around and cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted, "Mama, Brother is home!"
Once his mother heard it, she rushed to the front door. She looked at his dirt filled clothes, "my god we need to get you in here. You look very filthy son. Also tell me what happened all along the way."
"Sorry mama but I need to look for pa," Tony rejected. "I need to get some secret information from the king. It has to do with another siege that Zheria's army is planning. Have you seen pa?"
"In the lord's hall right next to the king's assembly room," answered his mother, "he is just about to go scouting outside the city."
"Alright ma, come back for dinner, promise," He said while running towards the lords hall.
Once he got to the front door, he asked the guards, "I need a real important message for king Darenos."
The guards looked at him for a split second. They looked at each other and nodded, "you can come in."
The guards swiftly opened the door releasing a big "creak" sound. The two large doors opened and stopped with a clank. He ran inside, it was silent, the only sound was his rushing footsteps, and the silent burning of the ashes as the fireplace heated the room.
Once he stepped up right to the front of the assembly room, a familiar voice called out, "if it isn't my son! What brings you here."
He recognized the voice%u2026 It was his father.
. . . . . .

"Wait where were you when I was fighting?" His father asked, "I haven't seen you."
"Let me tell you it was a complicated story. Too long we might as well take all afternoon talking about it," Tony responded, "we might save that for dinner."
Tony turned and walked away while he said, "Pa, I need to go, I have something to talk to the king."
"Well of course I need to go!" his dad exclaimed, "if it involves the government, I need to go with you."
They walked to the room that Darenos was sitting in, he turned up and looked at them for a moment, he smiled, "What are you doing here lord Silverson?"
"Well not to interrupt you sir but I have secret information about Zheria's and Gasmar's forces besieging here with more advanced technology and tactics, I thought I would let you know for the safety of Tritannia," Tony answered. He handed Darenos the message that Zheria had dropped beside him.
Darenos unfolded and started to read the letter, his eyebrows lifted straight up in an instant. He looked at His dad and Tony, then he looked right back at the paper, "Thanks for letting me know. I am honored how you acted Tony. you are dismissed, see you tomorrow."
Tony and his father turned around and walked away. They crossed, road to road, talking to neighbors and buying livestocks for the family.
They stepped on the stairs leading to the silverson's house. They knocked on the door and instead of someone opening it, it was open. Holly and her mother were doing the chores, and Tony's brother was teaching Lander his math and history. Life was as usual%u2026 again.
. . . . . .
Era 8, iron age, 10 leisure, 3400 date,
Zheria and her army were heading back to the stolen palace of the overlord. They were a few miles away when Zheria was at the office looking to see if they had the right%u2026 materials.
She looked at the papers, the plannings, and all the things she had done for the void. She sighed and thought, If only Maleonic would understand me. I would right now be queen%u2026 well maybe not queen, but a powerful position. She looked to make sure everything was in place. Scripts, check, papers, check, plans, check, letter, check. Then she picked up the letter and wanted to fold it but suddenly she noticed something. Something that could've gotten her into deep trouble.
She opened the folded letter and then realized that this letter she was holding was the wrong letter! It was the letter she was supposed to give to that boy in the siege! She yelled at Gasmar, who was at her back training the soldiers for their everyday practice.
He turned back, "Yes, Zheria?"
"I have the wrong letter."
"You have what!"
"The wrong letter, that I was supposed to give that little brat that day on the siege, I can't go in the place with this shame. Obviously, Maleonic will banish me!"
"Okay, we need a plan to rewrite the letter. You can do that right?"
"No, that will take 4 hours to make the exact details! Maleonic says that we need to come to the palace before 10pm! It's already 7."
"Alright, so what was that boy's name again?"
"Forgot, he actually never told me his name."
"So what are we going to do?"
"I got a plan, we're going to attack."
"WHAT ARE YOU CRAZY ZHERIA!"
"Look, if you want to get that message back then you need to start moving right now. It's our only chance to get that message," Zheria turned around to all the troops standing behind them. "Men, we are attacking, to get an important message back. So start moving."
All the men stared for a while. Then Zheria led the march to their destination.
