"Hmm? I don''t tell any different?" Aiden gave the Silver General a skeptical look.
They had just performed the blood oath however apart from the slight stinging pain when he bit his wrist with his sharp fangs, Aiden didn''t feel any different.
"Wait till you go against the terms of the Blood oath. However by them I am sure it would be too late for any regrets" after performing the Blood oath with Aiden, the Silver General courage was once more rekindled.
"Hmpfh. The terms of the Oath claims that we share a partnership relationship. That won''t stop me from ripping out your heart if you dare step out of line" Aiden warned sternly before flashing the other party a cheerful smile.
"Now that we are Partners, we should put all forms of animosity behind us, what do you say?"
"O-Okay " the Silver General gave Aiden a strange look.
Just now the other party appeared to be on the verge of slaughtering him, yet here he was smiling at his face like the both of them had been friends from childhood.
"Just like the history records claims.. Humans sure are shameless " he mumbled underneath his breath.
"Sorry? did you say something?" Aiden gave him a sharp look.
"Nothing " the Silver General hurriedly shook his head negatively.
"Now that we are Partners, it would look bad if we don''t even know each other''s name. Here, I''ll go first.. my name is Aiden Skyfall. I look forward to a healthy partnership with you" Aiden extended his hand for a handshake.
"Skyfall? that name sounds familiar" the Silver General mused to himself before accepting Aiden''s handshake.
"My name is Prince Eragon"
"So, Prince.. Eragon? why the hell do you want to snitch on your people? I get it that I was about to kill you, but betraying your own kind? that''s pretty low" Aiden chuckled as he began walking back to the area where the rest of the Blood Legion were.
Prince Eragon slunk the large bone club on his back as he hurried after Aiden. Due to his huge size, the ground rumbled loudly whenever he ran.
"What does snitch mean?" Prince Eragon asked Aiden curiously.
"Well, it''s a slang for people who betray their kinsmen. Either directly or indirectly" Aiden shrugged
This was a slang that he had picked up during his childhood. The town where Aiden lived for most of his childhood happened to be a ghetto area. Although it wasn''t a war zone, there had been cases of gang wars over the years. It was only natural that Aiden picked a few gangster slangs and terms.
Not to mention he belonged to a gang as well.Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators!
"Snitch huh? you humans sure are a creative race" Prince Eragon chuckled in amusement.
"Well, my reason for being a snitch is simple. I want to end the war and liberate my people" Prince Eragon sighed.
"Huh?"
"Do you know why my people are raiding your world?" He suddenly asked Aiden.
"Because your world is in a bad shape?" Aiden shrugged.
"Very smart. This Hidden Realm is merely a broken fragment of a real Planetoid. The cosmic laws in this place are scrambled and it lacks a planetary core.. my people are in desperate need of a Planetary core " Prince Eragon stated sadly.
"Honestly, I don''t think your world is in a bad shape. I mean, I once ran into a forest filled with exotic collections of rare herbs and elixirs.. those herbs and elixirs are rare as a real life dragon back in my world. If anything, I''ll say you lot should have some gratitude and appreciate what you have "
However contrary to Aiden''s expectations, Prince Eragon burst into a fit of amused laughter.
"What? did I say something funny?" Aiden''s expression darkened.
"No. It''s just that you reminded me of my father" a gratified smile graced his lips as his eyes flashed with reminiscence.
"He taught me how to play the flute and all kinds of instruments.. taught me how to speak the human, elf, fairy, yao.. all kinds of languages that exists in the world of Utopia and Dystopia.. he was a man of peace who believed that everything could be solved without involving violence.. he was the kind of man that I had aimed to be like. For years he has researched how to solve the problem of this Hidden Realm.."
"Was?" Aiden caught the incoming implied meant on Prince Eragon''s statement.
"Yes. He was killed by General Jazz.. his younger brother. According to him, the only way to fix the problems was invade other worlds and make them ours. Unlike my father, General Jazz is a war monger who delights in violence. When my father refused to do things his way, he rallied all the military forces loyal to him, marched to the King City, laid a coup and right before everybody''s eyes, he beheaded my father the King, along without the rest of his scholarly officials. Since then, we have been under a military regime and every youth must be enlisted into the army or their whole family is enlisted. Ninety Percent of this Hidden Realm''s residents are enlisted to the military. We have been forced to wage war with various worlds, however each and every of our raids ends up leading to our defeat. Our only advantage is that we tend to reproduce a lot faster, however every time we raid a world, thousands die. Honestly I am fed up and want this to end. Many people share this same thought with me but we are completely helpless. General Jazz rules this Hidden Realm with an iron fist. So even if he commands us to jump into a fiery pit. We can only clench our fist and obey "
"That really sucks dude .I am guessing that the reason you were enlisted into the army is because your Uncle wants you far away from power as possible right? he feels threatened about your existence however he cannot kill you without any just cause because that would incite suspicions and possibly a rebellion. So he cast you into the army so you can die in the battle field?"
"You humans are really smart. However over the years I have accumulated a lot of battle credits and rose all that way to a Silver General. I am merely a leap away from joining the Azure Troops " Prince Eragon nodded.
"Well, good luck with that. However from the little I have heard about this General Jazz.. he must be very powerful if he can rule this Hidden Realm with a fist of iron. However with this paltry strength of yours. You won''t last ten moves before an Azure General, talk less of the Big Boss" Aiden stated bluntly.
He had once fought with an Azure General. Although he ended up coming out victorious, it was all thanks to him taking advantage of the environment. If they had a fair open battle, Aiden didn''t know who would come out on top.
"I know that. However I have a plan. And I hope you would help me with it "
"And what''s in for me if I help?" Aiden stopped walking as he gave Prince Eragon a look.
"I will regain power over this Hidden Realm and have the troops stop invading your world?"
"No. I need more incentive" Aiden shook his head as he made a neck slashing movement with his finger.
"I get to kill this General Jazz of yours!"
