Chapter 251: Questioning and murder.
All six mages maintained silence, letting it drag on for ten minutes. In that time, not one sound was made, not
even a breath. It was if everyone was in a temporary state of suspense and waiting for something to happen.
Nobody on the team of Eldorian’s had expected the interrogation to be easy. Men or women that were brave
enough to kill a king were people that were often well trained.
They could endure torture and even take their own lives if it was necessary to hide the secrets of those behind
them.
Sigrid was the first to break the silence, she did so with a sigh. "Letguess, you would all rather die than talk."
She leaned forward, a cruel smile on her lips. "I would like to give you sgood news, we are not afraid to kill
you. In fact, you should all just take your lives right now. It is much better than living trapped in here for the rest
of your lives."
Her words sounded like a joke, the mages were sure she was just trying to threaten them. Her feeble attempts to
pry their mouths open would not tear through the hardcore training they had endured to becthe mages they
were. They did not take her words seriously.
Alistair tossed a knife into the cell.
"I am showing you all mercy." Sigrid said, "Take the knife and do yourselves a favor. You can do it personally or
choose one of you to stab the others."
One of the mages, Malrik picked up the knife. Everyone held their breath, waiting to see what he would do next.
He held the blade to his neck, it's shiny silver set off a reflection under the dim light in the cell. He raised his
hand high, as far as it could go and brought it down.
Most people widened their shocked others, others gasped and in the cell the mages that were next to Malrik
stepped away from him, suddenly wary for he had not stabbed himself. He had stabbed Xyra....slicing her throat
open.
Xyra was chocking on her own blood which was shooting all over the floor. She had both hands over the cut
trying to stop the bleeding. But it was a useless feat as the blood just kept escaping her body like a dam of red
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwater that had suddenly been unleashed.
Slowly, she fell to her knees and then her entire body hit the floor, face down.
"What have you done Malrik?" Nyssa questioned, breathing heavily, trying to wipe blood off her hands and face.
Malrik tossed the knife out of the cells and replied nonchalantly, "It is her fault that we ended up here, she failed
us two times. The Eldorian king is alive and on the mend, the shards are now out of reach and they found us
because of what she did to the old princess. A useless soldier is a flaw, all flaws should be removed." He moved
to one of the corners and sat down. "I could use swine and meat, when you are all done with your little
show, remember to feed me."
He was a cold blooded killer and what he had done did not bother him at all.
"| guess we won't be hearing from Malrik anymore." Sigrid waved her hand, ejecting Xyra’s body from the cell.
"So, Nyssa do you have anything to share?"
She was met with silence that she reacted to with amusement. "You are probably still in shock so lets try
someone else. Noctis, Asher..." she called the two mages that had not said a word.
They were both male mages that had a very close appearance. They shared the sblonde hair, brown eyes
and tiny mole next to their right eyes. It almost seemed as if nothing fazed them, even when Xyra’s neck was
sliced, they had remained as calm as monks in meditation.
"Okay then, good talk. We will continue from here another day. We have a lot of tto get to know each other. |
think that you will find Eldoria welcoming or hostile depending on the choices that you will make." Sigrid stood
up.
She started to walk away and suddenly halted her steps just before getting into the elevator. "Oh, lest | forget,
there is one more thing | must make sure of."
Raising her hand, she faced the five mages that were left. There was one fire lit torch on the wall, five flames
rose from the large fland entered the cells. All the mages tried to avoid the flames but it was useless.
The flames coiled around their arms, burning into the tattoos on their wrists. Scried out loudly, pain and
anguish raw in their voices echoed deep in the ground.
"It is just a precaution, | must make sure that nobody tracks you down here. As far as your society is concerned,
you are all dead and nobody is going to clooking for you."
Her questioning was finished and they all returned to the surface. She ordered for them to be separated and fed.
With time, she would have them to moved to the surface prison.
There was something on the lord mage’s mind, a question that he thought she needed to hear. "Isn't it easier to
just kill them?" The Lord asked.
"Why?" she turned to him.
He spread his arms out and twirled

"No he won't." Roland’s voice crept up on them from behind.
