Way to Olhim

----------

Orb opened his eyes. The scene was a blur for him. It took one minute to see clearly. Nerei's silhouette's been visual at the end of that time. She was looking to the floor.

"So, you healed your enemy?"

She did not answer, did not look at him also. There was a change on her. Her hair was dyed to black color. He understood the reason. She was a criminal for her Mekrapia now. All of their family members' hair color was scarlet. Scarlet hair color was not only special to Ysueri bloodline but there are not many people who had this too. That's why Nerei and Yjum turned their hairs to black. They don't want to be noticed by the officials or civilians.

"I assume it's more than one day. How many days I've been passed out?"

"One week" She answered.

"I pushed myself too far, I think." He stood up and got dressed. His joints were hardly moving but he was trying to push himself because he was not glad about the calendar. They lost too much time because of him.

They left the room together.

They started to travel at 15-976 and passed to the Olhim border at 18-976 on the Exelnia Calendar. They rode drovs but the way to Olhim was longer than to Jom.

They crossed the border. There's no wire fence or something similar between Provinces or Mekrapias in Exelnia. They chose the fastest route to the center. They did not take a break on the way and drovs were tired. They stopped for one hour.

"Do you want to share the reason for our visit to Olhim?" Heytu asked.

"We need two certain people for next raid. They're in Olhim."

"Don't you think that we've many people for now too?. I know that more power would be good but we'll need to stay away on radars too" Naruj shared his opinion.

"It's a necessity. They're not reinforcements, they are only tickets for us to Kataam!"

"Kataam? The Deadlands beyond Oxben borders? Are you out of mind?"

"..."

"Naruj is right, Orb. We came with you because we want to stop the bloody actions of Jom Provinces. We do not intend to take any action to a dead land, no one lives in there." Heytu shared his opinion.

"Firstly, extinction of Kataam is only a rumor on Exelnia. There are still people in there for my opinion"

Zabarn and Barvim's attitudes were changed.

Orb felt the differences in their souls. He waited for three seconds, they did not say anything. Orb understood that they had secrets and did not want to reveal them. He showed respect and continued his explainings "You saw the source of Jom's dark power. Attacking aimlessly to Provinces is useless unless we do not kill all Roots. They'll send new ones from the mainland to the Provinces."

Heytu did not like it "Arbhen too?"

"No, the current population of Arbhen is not inviting for them, this value is not delicious. But we should find mainland immediately and Kataam is one of the possible ones for Roots."

"You're not sure?"

"There's a Root in there. It's certain. But I'm not sure if it's mainland. We should try our chance."

"Oxben is a peaceful land as we know. Do you think they do terrible things in the shadow like our Province?"

"No. I think it's the opposite. Oxben locked the Gate to Kataam many years ago as you know. You may live there as an ability user but using ability is prohibited in Oxben. Their leaders possibly knew about the Roots. That's they allowed this claim. They're blocking the circuit of possible evilness like in Arbhen Amphitheater. They'll be a good alliance for us in my opinion too. But they won't allow us to pass there for now. That's why we need a back-door to go there"

"How do those two people in Olhim help us? Are they have a key of a backdoor?" Ghril asked.

"You'll learn when we get there."

None of them satisfied with this answer. They made a vow with him but he's darkening some pieces of information still. This is not an unexpected issue for them also. He was Orb. There's no guarantee he's a good person still.

"It'll be a headache if those two people are some fugitives who escaped from Jom too." It's a surprise that Yjum attends a discussion with Orb. She's the most phobic one to him still.

"Maybe. I'm not sure."

"There's a stone rule for those people in Olhim. <Criminals who gained acceptance for the protection of Olhim can not get out anymore!> This can not be broken. That senile Derlem will not allow you to take them definitely without a battle."

"It'll be hard, you're right. But the battle may not be a necessity. He's infamous, ok. But its reason is his courage. He mostly stood up against Jom Mekrapia's tyranny by protecting fugitives. He is not a bad man in the heart. Or he was. For my records. I hope he did not change. If he changed, it means Olhim has another Root in the shadows. Ok, we should go now."

They continued their way. And reached the last hill before the city center of Olhim at 19-976.

They stopped suddenly. There's fire on city walls and inside. Distance between them and city center's like one km but the situation's clear. Olhim was under attack.

"Fuck!" Phazor swore within shock.

"This is not good I think, am I right guys?" Barvim shared his inside thought.

"Yes, bad news" Ghril answered. "But..." he looked the Orb. He was sure that Orb had many abilities to destroy the enemy.

"It's definitely very bad news. It seems the occupier is Unue, their armors are red. Their number may be more than five thousand too. I warned you before, do not overestimate my abilities. I have many abilities that you did not see still but my abilities are close-range type. I can not fight against this many people without using <forbidden ones> at the same time and I need my life-span to finish my mission. It seems there're many black souls outside of the city wall. Unue sent a very strong unit. Their aim is destroying Olhim completely it seems. They have a General in there, I can feel his soul power even from here."

Zabarn and Barvim's attitudes completely changed for the second time. They started to shake. Barvim was shaking from fear, Zabarn's was because of rage. Their soul colors started to get darkening rapidly...

"Your past history's antagonist is an Unue General, I think?" Orb realized this change instantly.

"..." Barvim was silent.

"Our feelings are more terrible than yours now, our dark companion" Zabarn answered.

"Ok. It seems you'll get your revenge soon. Do you know what's the name of your enemy?"

"If we forget that name..."

"I can see the fire on your eyes easily. I think the others can see it too now. But I should warn you, you're not ready for it now. Especially you should discover your ability first. Prince of Jom selects his Generals very carefully. All of them are extremely strong. You'll not attack that General today even he's the one who did this to you. I promise you, I'll give you to chance to get revenge directly from him."

Zabarn seems satisfied. But his shaking did not stop. Barvim's too.

"Ok, we should assist Olhim Province now." Orb declared."Zabarn, Naruj, Phazor, we'll go. The others will wait here, especially famous ones of Arbhen." He implied Nerei, Yjum, and Heytu "There's a General as I explained. It means there're many commanders too. Some of you changed hair-colors but you can not escape the higher-ups' radar with this. They don't know you're alive for now due to intel we got from Remaka. We need this advantage for a while. Please wait here within your black hoods and cloaks."

"Ok" Heytu accepted on the behalf of Nerei, Yjum, Ghril, and himself.

Orb continued "All attackers; activate your <SHELL> modes. The General probably is at the front gate. The aura of that place is the darkest one. I'll go there. There're two other points which are under attack too. Zabarn and Phazor, you'll attack enemies on the south and east gates. Naruj; we can't see clearly inside of the city walls. You'll go there, stop any possible attackers. You'll have the floating skill when you're in <SHELL> mode. Appear from the sky on there. All of our appearances will be the same in <SHELL> modes so they will think four white monsters came to attack from the sky. It will decrease their courage. I do not want to expose the reality to Unue Army. There'll be only rumors like this <a white monster appeared on four different locations at the same time and destroyed a big army> after this war. It'll rise up their fear for the future. I warn all of you; do not talk much there. Our priority is to protect Olhim folk and our enemies are only here to kill. Only give demand <retreat> to the enemy if you have hope. If not, kill all of them!"

Orb, Zabarn, Naruj, and Phazor activated their <SHELL> mode. They all raised to the sky directly. They were like white demons. They got lost from the visions of the others...
