“what are you on?“Joakim voice snaps him out of his revery.
“Your still here?” Alfred ask turning to look him. and Cellach that was balancing on ball off he’s feet the other looking nervously on a street that was filing from locals coming out their homes, many of them perching weapons in their hands. Talking to each other’s worried as they placed protective seals over their house entrees. A discharge where common, but full ward veilings in this time of day almost unheard.
And the figure on the jacked was nowhere to be seen. Again.“This is no time for fools, game. Chalmen, any moment you stay here is one monument less to arm your guild members for what is coming.” Alfred says, hiding he’s frustration. Now was not the time for childish posturing.
“Like you would know that! Its take full commission from guards to go out in full gear out.” “I know! As would you if your leader of your guild is even half competent.” Alfred say waving his toward the looming walls. “That wail dint just mean incoming breach but commendation with crack runes to guards keep, they should amass their mans to get here, to block on any direct remands spirits wandering off.”
For once, Joakim seems shaken. Saying “Spirits on this side of the wall!?” “yes and likely hihger quotient of weil beast too.” Alfred confirms. “And thous are your guilds target, so get going already.”
“He’s right Joakim, we should go, boss will love using thous loaded lings.” Cellach imputed, tugging the other man's hand. Dragging him off towards the nearest connection to the harbor. None of the house owner try to stop them, as they hurried thought, gathering mist. “at least thous guild markings are good for something. “But where did that mist come from? Alfred thought, turning back to check the squeal. The frost was mostly cone, and no cold lingered in the air. “Odd.. is there sea side wind tonight?” Alfred muss turning on to look seaside.
Woods thumping against streets stones disturbed his mussing. turning to look as a pair of local men were coming towards him. Mr Doybney was an old wether fisher, his ornately carved oar, was used as a walking stick. Not that the old man has any need for it, being more sinewy, muscles stretched over bone. But then he had been that way when he’s family first set roots to this town. Even now he had sailors sway in he’s steps, easily keeping stay ahead bigger man longer steps.
Thou In contract to Herk was a steady blowing swept forwards as he assessment the frosted ground ahead. The only indication he was worried at all was his hand griped around the oar resting on his massive shoulder. Made to be proportionality to him, making thick blackened wood oar a club all but in name.
Boht men were on their evening clothes, sturdy canvas pants and outer jacket to keep out the wind and chest belts with hanger signet that denounced their station of elder captains of fisher union.
Alfred start check he’s own gear while waiting for them. His necklace might aid at keeping the worst of icy touch away, but it would be a flame of his ferry lanterns that was first and beast defence against beyonds touch. he lifted it from its vertical grip below its halfmoon top part, opening it fronts black class taking out stuffed clout inside. as an elderly pair reached him.
“Hello Mister Alfred,” Mr.Doybney ask his voice horsed by age. “Say, what is going over here?” he was looking to warding projecting to sky, adding “a full-blown weils break, at this time? So soon of last Ascension night, It’s getting people worried.”
“To be blunt, mister Doybeny, i have no knowledge about it.” Alfred answers. “I was just heading to the main chapel on my shelf. When this hold thing brock out. and well..” Alfred waves out his hand to glowing wards. “That over there is about all I know.”
“and what about thous Gutter Daggers?” chime in Herk. voice, calm and deep as he came to a stop. Did they give you some grief?” “they did. Some crap of me offending Chelleh’s little brother and demanding compensation for it.” Alfred said with nod “Thomas? that lite fool was quite well and lively these evening at we come through harbor district.” Herk says spitting to the ground. “Erik should know better than to let his members do dumb shit around here.”
Alfred say, while trying disciplined his features to look neutral as a possible.. “They proudly try having last words in now that my father is officially by gone beyond.”“Bah to go after classless as soon as hes parent has lay do rest, I told you we should have never endorsed that buffalo Erick. Challems quilt in hitting new bottoms around here become of him.” Hark say “What is done, is done and we should keep track of the moment to not join Kennet on afterlife.” Doybney says. Adding. “Though, we should take this up on the next guild meeting. Tell young Alrfed Are you still without full access to the system?” “Yes, last .” “good…”
Alfred keep his face neutral on practical eyes as Herk turns round left and right where stones lined block support half metres thick walls to sides of “do you think we need to move the outer barricades?” Herk says while looking a. “thous barricades will help block if anything to get through the warding wall.” “it a full warding,”. Alfred says “There’s no way of telling without getting to rune node near main hall.”
“hmmm.. the runes seem to be functioning in full capacity at this side at least.” Doybney, says looking to the sky “you can tell?” Alfred ask in mild surprised “yes, thous may not be bouts warding runes per se but there are enough similarities that high lvl skill can brightly the cap.” old man confirm’d with nod. “not mention wards runes fading ain’t truly working when they’re like that.”
“Working wards or not, that won’t stop mana beast forming, if veil wave hits or wandering towards here looking get out square rectifications,” Herk say “You’re right, get Herbrand and the others. And lets move to block full street.” “Do thous old wheels and runes still work?” Alfred ask? “thous hasn’t seen true use for years… “
“doth worry about the wheels.” Mr doyndly says as Hark mars away yelling for people to gather. “We had misters Alf to reforged them for the annual festival just a few months period. Those will move yes, but the question is will watch get here before anything gets thought thous wardings.. and what about chaelmes?”
Alfred was spit sceptical, looking to round wheels attached to rune tubes, sure they look new but it allways takes effort to move them with several men. “Well Joakim and Cellach will at least inform gutters and proudly other harbor based Chalmen guilds so they at least should get hear in half hour..” “if they not already on way here a pike of mana form beyond should have noticed every observed rune ward on the city.”
“not necessary” Doyndly says. “Mara sayid, her skill notice any mana knot forming.” say spiting to ground “non? at all? i can well beyond touch all way here.” Alfred say pointing square where frost lingest still.”as can i boy but, if her skill didn’t notice it this close to home then i boud any not able to see that won’t either.”
well at least guards form keep are coming here, Alfred says “split runes at least would have break, do that.”
“Hm, that something at least.” Alfred could see relief on old man’s eyes, as he ask “Who did you send thous thuqs warn to?” “I tell them to go to get blood spikes and gutters, that in minimum that should get rest of troops going.”
“I see. In that, case we better a send message to get hill sides crews up, just be sure” Doyndly says looking Alfred head to toe.“Are you come join us holding the wall?” “Would to people some good to see the lantern shield next to them?”
“no i cone head in and heal man the chaterdarls main defence.” “is that wise, i would not be sent Herk there alone, your preseens and that lantern light would server better here” “if Joakim speak truth then carried had leave trough back gate, whit out raider… plus we both know that “mist Laterns” your and Herk store are more than aducuet to bolster the moral”
“Are sure if boy? if wall are being breached, then burial grounds are hardly any better.” Alfred closed his fist looking again over the gate. “So long as flames still burn on keeper’s house, this will be enough to protect me still I reach the side door.”
“there’s still flame over there”Doyndly says little hesitantly. “good, they been under manned for months now. Any aid will help, dos your or Herk have access to ground?”
“i do, but unless your lamp can cover two i death before we get main building.” “No, these enchantments will protect just me trough”, that I can’t extend protection” “nor will i have ability.” Alfre thought to the self. thought you look to find to me..” “I old Alfred, stat help only so far beyond shall have me sooner than later.”
“i see..” Alfred trailed off, not knowing what to say. “even whit fire there.. burial grounds will restless give you a good ore to bring there, need brock iron tips out in any way” Doyndly say handing out he’s ore before stopping asking, “you used thous lighter woods. don’t you?” “yes enchanted walnut at most” Alfred answer
“hmm we still have thous stashed away. on back.. well i want my full cear any way. might as well get it on same time.” “thank” Alfreds say as old fisher turn walked back to he’s house. sure wood pole woundent to anything ageist corporal creatures but against with anything with body it would be welcome.
turning he’s head back towards
Locking his gaze on the path ahead, Alfred walk forward checking his gear. Dagger steel would serve even normal steel. could bite against remnants. it was not an optimal coich, but it would do all he need to do was get to side door of chapel. its stones would weather the storm. All he need to was get there. whit any luck groundskeepers’ flame still burning over yard, would contact with the creeping mist short.
To be on the shore side, he contacted mana stone under his right bracers to his Laterns reserves. it would be decroyd if flame consumed it as fuel. But better that than being overcome by mist,.
he used to stick up flame on his lantern.
Stopping at street edge street, where frost still cover ground, even form behind streets wardings this he could feel unnatural dread emanating from beyond. As it bounend outside bounds, coming to this reality. its touch covering even ever present smells of town. first he exsctend his knife trough streets warding, refiled not feeling frost or mana leaking trough it contact he reached in said his tunics frond pocked and pulling out a long narrow parmend with twin moon seal carved on wax. Muttering quick preyer, he nick his finger, drawing blood, pushing it contact with red wax seal pushing on it both mana and blood before. Pushing it over too street out towards creeping gold to bring it enchatmet to live.
He bind it too his chest, hoping there would be no need for it protection. before lastly taking his lantern and extinguish flame. and dunging it wick down to blessed oil before using heat formed by mana to ignite it.
if he going in it was better to go as brebret as he could
staring to allocate his. mana inside he’s core to his body waving its structures over themself. it would make poerions of his mana pool unablive until they dicolwed on their own. But it would keep them treads on even on whiteout he’s intervention. his hand holding later got most robust wave. and he debated using it on he’s legs but while running speed would be useful, its lanterns light and ability to see a coming danger react that mattered so he but it instead,on he’s eyes and just like that more than half of his mana pool was cone.
to calm his his near he took a look over his soulder
4/9 looking back, he could see windows where opened a fuhter down the street some people where even St?pin out of their house. broad visage of Cellija was actually talking to one of them. Joakim and ohter men where no where to be seen. if they where smart, they where running full tilt to alarming Chlamen guilds. while spike of dicstablity of veil of this kind could alarm nearby dections speards neiderhood around twins cusrh was look as neutral round do cushes guardian sprits partoling nearby ground plus most pepole know better
5/7 this close was neutral ground for .. well terictly it was ground but all know better mess around organisation and twins curches whit its sprits paroling it ground make sure alongside make this whole place neural ground
thanks for dived that unhinged dedication also inculldet churches and altar spirits that some time habited old church and act as peacekeeping for in impudent winsitty of the church.

7/3 mana starde to spill over and form mist around
At the worst local gangs would seek bay back later if assault werend one of their own that was.
and while church neihdporhood were officially neutral ground, in theory they were Vegard ground thou there where open ivneroins form him for peplos to try contested them.
No own wants to antagonize pantheons and more importantly, Twins church. they were notoriously vengeful once driven to action.
walking towards his squers like in strain line as long as he get to there
so only mad men or thous truly desperate would seek fighting them. And whatever candidates that sash had bested to Josep hi were not mad.
taking care to this time reforge mana treads on his eye solid. showing walls blazing on runes, their usually concealments failing as they pulsed in rythem. “there cone be another one released soon.” he say staring to walk towards groundkeepers’ gates blazing vicega. even whit out systems blessings he could still manipulate runes defence once inside main church building, “try to get as massage as wide as you can.” more pepole was awaked and armed tonight the better.
for could not help tense as man but his hand twofords his gote but other wise dint to anything, he keep walking to bonders of squad as warding runes manifested to open air over wall. signaling next wave coming
new wave crashed over walls and over open part towards the street mouth where frost form soldi coating over stones. As dreaded wash over covering his form this time it stings was more pronounced, but he was braced and his mana conettions hold. This time it lingers longer.
watching out for next
second unsettling energy blast (hoodet villains use his carap on Joakim get to him act)

What first our try to get money out of me and you think you get the rope in other gang’s territory? All while i am going to proctet this discrit and city form uncleansed? a duty you and your preico gang are bond to assist by law.? to doing yours classing takes out last of bit of sanity in that head of yours. “
i’m half tempted to recruit you tree to fulfill that bonding. your not member of clergy or churhs you cant do that.

-hit it towards Jakim’s hands

1=5 seeing thous two blocking the way, he runs forwards as he over charged his Laterns mana runes, swigging it on head height, making flame flash blindingly brith before burning out.
2=7 not stopping buckle under Joakims hands as gutters try to shield they yeys form light, tackle shoulder first, this sending him Staggering back, as seeing mana cahters in he’s cores Alfred swiftly us spine of he knifes before to bonk his to mess he’s skill use, and for good measure was rearing to kicking his leges under him. but hulking form off Gellah garbs his slevee.
Leading him step back jacking his arm as he brings the knife to boy’s arms, drawing blood before skill surge, turns it back, buffing it out. What the worst, Cellach's rection to pain was tightening his grip, and dragging him closer.
Instead letting himself get bog down to wresting match, Alfred cuttrough he’s own sleeve letting pull from Cellach rip encashed cloth, using backhand swing form iron lanterns base on to his face. as he backed off reingnaiting lanterns flames to blind two mans, griping his knife. A stab trough kneed and Joakim would not be cargin after anyone.
as now blazing flame lighten misty street noticed a flicker of mana form corner he’s eyes. jumping left as small swords pierced thought where he’s leg had to be just a moment ago, as a hooded figure came on focus out of mist. Trust was turned on diagonally cut towards he face.
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
Forcing Alfred to give ground as he bring his knife front, keeping his focus on the man’s body as his small swords were obscured from sight by thickening mist. That too soon covered man’s silhouette and he lost sight off him as he was forced to answering to overhead swing from Joakim, followed by stabs as he burst forth. Crackling sound once again permits the air as amplifiers on his wrist gather mana
Stabs draws blood even as Alfred used hes enchanted sighting and reflects to utmost to divert stabs us in both hands. And while hes was not true lanterns, it encahtemens structure hold whit out bending, dent and nick where’s culminating. Evens as he’s own try to snip to hands where foiled by breacer guard he holds. But at least they were enough to make his other wrist protector mana buildup stop.
Seeing a opening too counter, Alfred pushes forward taking a step to side to bring weight head of lanterns handel to exstaneted knife side. Pushing it side, while swing side towards trout. only to mean with extended fist that was now fully coated on mana. in decperiction Alfred crossed his hand over his face. First on was all but blow of the way before he was thrown backward by a unsutured mana wave released by charge fist.
landing back first against the house stonen wall. back first,air escaping his lunges. As he steady himself turnig towards squads where wards were once again visible on air, pulsing steadily. he had getting closer but that still far away. pulsing he’s own mana on same pattern
their warding once aging released. he strhengents lanterns, flames to fistand beyonds touch. its only flickering flames lights on metal that make him slide downwards walls surfaces to dodge trust to the head. Working more by instinct, warping a hand around the blade, pouching form stones. Using the lantern’s upper shield to trap a small sword as mana as lanterns enscahmet repealed hostail mana channelled to blade by it wilder. Using blades as he slung forward, stabbing where chest would be.
Clang sound out as man once aging came visibility, parrying dagger long crescent-shaped cross guards pressed against knifes edge. pushing weapons upwards.
Alfred dorps his dagger. Grasping his arm from wrist, as kicks man's leg under him wresting him down the ground.
stepping away from fallen man, he steps away, pivoting back to face others, pulling mans sword with him taking hold of it, while infusing it with stabilising mana form lantern flame.
He dint have time to bring it forwards position when Cellach surged ahead with unnatural speed, his mana pearly sparkling as he surged forwards. chest first tackling him, back ageist stone building’s wall. While pining, he’s sword arm ageist he’s chest.
To make maters worst he was Joakim was going in the oversized ratchet dagger raised two hand downwards soup. mana rackeling in he’s wrist as it gathers and the third man was picking himself up.
there was no point holding back he draws last of mana stone on his wrist empty, turning it to dust as he channelled it directly to his arms re forced mana channels that screams form add tress as he uses a burst of strength to step his leg to side and dragging his arm free, bumping as much mana as he could directly to wick at the heart of flames leading it dimening, as he simulostedlly drawn power form blessed oil below.

bring his lantern flat bottom down Cellach neck. realising he’s holding form twigs letting flames consume alcumetide power burst out, in a wave of light and pressure wretched handle from his craps, as pressure pressed him to stones as it trowing other mans away, and making grumped to ground.
hastily stepping over, other two where blow over to their knees and looked dazed.
Alfred grips the long pointed weapon in he’s hand. This was clearly cone considerably further than mear and treatsh. a strike now could end them now. He glanced dowd unconscious man. bringing weapon to downwards trusting position. As surge of mana cauhte, hes atetions looking back there fullboby waving going around Joakim.
Seeing he’s lanter laying it side on ground, next to square openings. Without spearing other thought Alfred start run towards it, jumping side as jaokim came charging down, going past him next lanter. just pit off where Alfred had aim his trust. It still got him to side not that he rect to it ohtet than pushiinng it off of him as he mars foward to stricking dictancse.
Alfred was forced to give ground to keep out distance a recklessly attacking man. Who has no hesitation coming in going so fard as to grap a blead whit his free hand as he comes in stabbing in to hes head. only saved by bucking and grasping his over agetende hand. trying to move it to unbalance man turn out futile.

Letting go of small swords, Joakim garbs him to bear hug and the throw him to ground. step on his sword arm pinning it street
Alfred grabs his carving knife form vest poked and drives it to the hilt. ankle finally making his strentegin skill colads as man, reret his leg yelling for pain before collapsing to one knee.

Alfred raised to he legs, taking swip towards other mans head as he keep moving past him. unfortnly ratchrknifes hevy blade was enouc to divert his hasty swip. looking over hes shoullder where celleha was some how rising up.

backing from limping mans he looks around, seeing that Cellach wash moving towards having drawn out his own knife. While He’s fallen, Laterns flickering flames still cleared mana waves on part of the street behind him, but being quite hesitant while advancing. third men was once again out of sight. “fucking sneaks..” he was starting to understand people’s frustrations of them. Sure their abilities had limits, but as an unawakened, he could not see skilled ones even whit his sight on. and lanterns fires were not true ferry’s wisp, so they glow would not bring his skill use out.. “but to he know that?” he gather mana puls to his feet..
4=8 using his, realising puls to his injured side. puls was little better than splashing of unaccepted mana spike but with bread mana effects still in air it was enough, to bring him out closing out his left side.
