941: THIS IS INSANE!

THIS IS INSANE!

"No," Kace rejected Hope's plea outright, just exactly what she thought he would do, thus it didn't surprise her much, yet she was still determined to get an 'yes' from him.0

"Look, Kace, you can't keep me here, while those filthy creatures from hell were wreaking havoc and killing our people, the people that we know." Hope folded her arms stubbornly.

"Basically, we don't know them, they are people brought by Torak and Jedrek, not our people," Kace retorted.

This was the problem with them, there was no unity at all. How could they go to a war when they were not on the same page with each other and felt like they weren't accountable to one another?

This was incredulous. Instead of thinking as one, they wanted to win this war in their own way.

"Just because we don't know them, doesn't mean you can justify your actions of letting them die, right?" Hope said irritably because of his ignorance. "Some of them were people that come willingly to help you Kace, your old friends, even though you insisted on saying that they are not your friends, that didn't change the fact that they are people you once knew,"

Hope could see that her words hit the right spot in his heart, Kace would always distance himself from other people. He was still the same Kace, who was reluctant to take over the command and order those people to march for their own death.

Hope thought Kace had managed to handle it and that she had helped him to overcome the hurdle within himself, while the truth was; Kace was just very good at hiding his feelings and pretending that he was already fine.

"Leon and his sister came here because they want to help you," Hope didn't want to say Abby's name, since that girl always liked to get on her nerves.

She knew that the witch only came to see Kace and didn't want to have anything to do with the war, yet to have her here and teleport as many people as she could was still a form of help too, meanwhile, Hope did nothing, but keeping herself from harms way, just like what Kace wanted her to.

That fact alone frustrated her.

Not to mention Abby who would threw her curly- chestnut hair with arrogance every time she met Hope in the corridor, or wherever they chanced upon each other. Hope hated that girl.

"You can say whatever you want, Hope…" Hope could see his jaws tighten, as the atmosphere became more intense. "I will not let you go anywhere."

However, Kace should know better that Hope couldn't be threatened that easily. At this moment, Hope really wanted to thank Serefina for raising her this way. The witch was the reason why she had this attitude when it came to what she wanted, she taught her well to become more stubborn and stand her ground no matter what.

"I will go with or without your permission Kace," Hope said. "You can go with me to find the dwarf or I can go alone."

"Torak will not allow Raine to go," Kace was certain about this. They didn't know where the dwarf was now, therefore they wouldn't know what was waiting for them when they went to look for him.

This was more dangerous than what Hope could imagine, at least that was what Kace thought. There were many things that happened recently and he was feeling under the pressure. To have Hope away from him, was not an option and he didn't even want to discuss it at all.

It seemed like they reached a stalemate in their argumentation.

"Kace, think about it…" Hope softened her tone, hoping it would knock some sense into him. "The war will not end if…"

"The war will not end as long as the guardian angels were alive because your resurrection is solely meant to stop this war," Kace said, finishing her sentence.

Hope was about to retort him, when his words made her realize one thing suddenly, and this scared her to say the least.

"Kace…" Her breath hitched. She didn't want to say it, but she needed to make sure that whatever crossed her mind just now was wrong. "You keep the war going, so we can live?"

Hope was waiting for Kace to deny it, yet Kace did nothing to make her believe otherwise.

This was insane…

==============  

Raine was walking in the corridor when she met Theseus, the new fire dragon lord, whose father was being held captive by Torak after he was subjected to her power firsthand that rendered lord Bayle from doing anything, since he was 'too old' to do something.

Every time she met him, Raine felt like his eyes were trying to bore a hole into her being and she didn't like the way he stared at her like that. It was the same way how lord Bayle looked at her when he confronted them to take baby Eddard.

"Luna Raine," Theseus greeted her with utmost respect and Raine nodded her head slightly to reciprocate his greetings.

Raine didn't stop walking, as she didn't have any intention to have a chat with him, but the problem was; the young dragon lord blocked her way.

"What do you want?" Raine raised her head to look at him, but she didn't let her guard down, especially when there was no one around them. How come this corridor was empty at a time like this?

"I don't want anything my Luna." Theseus smiled at her.

"I am not your Luna and you are not a member of my pack," Raine bit back, she realized that her voice was a little too harsh, but for some reason she didn't regret it. Somehow, her emotions were all over the place recently.

Yet, Theseus didn't seem to mind her harsh tone and kept smiling, as if he didn't hear her reluctance to talk to him. "I just want to know that I will get my father back once the war is over. Am I correct?"

"Yes, you will." Raine's voice was very tight. She knew she could defend herself if Theseus wanted to do something outrageous.

"But, what if this war doesn't end?"
