Lost Kings and Brotherhood

Out of the blue, there was a sound–

A sound that was so petrifying, as if a dragon, or some kind of beast, had been unleashed.

A hideous sound blared from somewhere far. It was like the sound of hell’s gate opening up to swallow everyone. Perhaps it would seem so until another earthquake followed that shook the whole land and made it difficult to continue to fight. Everyone was struggling, including king Sandalius who was already gaining the upper hand between him and Duke Gervasio.

Seconds before the tremor, the war began to feel motionless, as if the world was at a snail’s pace. The screams of the slain men became hazy—decelerating along the stillness and receding petrification. Somehow, from this indistinctness, King Sandalius managed to knock Gervasio out. And when he was down on the ground, the king unceasingly swung his sword at him. Gervasio was in defense, refusing to die without getting Primarosa back.
