Peter POV

Wiping the blood off my face and looking around me, the battle ended after what seemed like hours

maimed soldiers stood around me and dead ones.

General Arthur I recognize off in the distant, it seemed he was speaking to prisoners that have been captured, maybe I should take this fellow to him

Turning my gaze down below on the man who took my eye out

“what's your name Sir” I ask my sword pushed down on his neck as a ting of blood comes out

“Kriger” he cleared his throat “Kriger of house Kipling” he said with fatigue

House Kipling has been a top noble house and one that births warriors.

Looking at this man he looked to be about my age, around 17, he was clean shaven and had sharp features, his hair was black, pitch black and curly.

As much as I wanted to murder this man for slashing my eye out, I fought the urge to and decided to just take him to the general so he can deal with him instead

lifting him up to his feet, I tied his hands behind his back and walk towards the general

“Thank you sir for sparing the benefit of mercy to me” he said as we walked

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

I couldn't hold in my smirk

“Mercy would have been giving you death back there, instead I'm turning you into general Arthur…. who has quite a bit of a reputation with prisoners wouldn’t you say.”

I felt him tighten up and no more words were spoken

“General Arthur, where should I leave the prisoner?” I asked as the general studied the man carefully.

“I recognize this boy, to think they would send such youngster into battle or was it just you out for glory Kriger Kipling” said the general

“Well, I had the opti–” General Arthur hand struck his face

“In truth I don't care what you got to say” he looked over to me “toss him over there with the rest of them, good work Peter”

My eyes opened up a little bit “yes sir” how the heck did he know my name? walking the noble to the rest of the prisoners I simply tossed him to the floor and walked away.

I walked around a bit, helping those to the castle and aiding the healers.

I began to wonder where Alexander was. I've seen Jim already

looking like he showered in blood that man was an animal in his past life for sure.

Retracing my steps back from when we last got separated, it was at an area where the forest sort of started and had rocky boulders. Boom, found it now where could he have gone?

Surveying the area, I saw crows flying over me, good or bad omen I had no clue.

there were loads of dead soldiers but what did stick out was a horse that seemed to have been struck in its head with a sword

Walking up to the horse I grabbed the sword and pulled it out, ahh yes! This for sure belonged to Alexander as it had a chip in its side, a chip that Alexander's sword had before we exited the castle.

Walking around a bit longer I found a deceased fellow who seemed to be stabbed in his stomach, the number of times I couldn't even know but shit, whoever did this must be a maniac.

I heard crows wailing in the forest nearby, at this point I have no clue where he is so I decided to enter the forest

The crows wailing got louder and louder by each step and passing a tree I saw him.

Alexander was laid against a boulder and seemed to be unconscious, the crows were simply flying around him from above

did they think he was dead?

But one crow in particular was pulling on his arm and it extended above his head and soon another was pulling his skin to the left side of his chest and in under a second the skin tore. The crow seemed to peck something in, but I didn't care no more

These crows were hurting my friend. Running up I scared them off and they flew away.

Letting a sigh out, I checked whether he was still alive and breathing, he was.

Picking him up and tossing him on my shoulder

I walked back toward the castle.
