Blademasters Legacy: Chapter 53:

The Sacrifice

"She sacrificed herself, to protect her kingdom...and me...she was holding my child as well..."- Zack Fairfield

[Zack's Group]

Zaiden was too nervous as Zack told him to sit down. Both Ivy and Zeldrak.
Well that was his issue, she was alone with him.
Everyone was trying to convince Zaiden that they would be fine.

Siegfried however was feeling guity, Zeldrak was the one that took him, trained him, even tho he didn't needed, but Zeldrak was the one that took care of him until he met everyone else.

"Zaiden? I'm sorry" Siegfried told him looking up his eyes. "It's my fault that Ivy and Zeldrak are gone..."

"Huh? Why do you say that?" Zaiden had a puzzled look.

"Well...if I didnt ask Ivy to be my guardian in front of Zeldrak, maybe they would still be here..."

Zaiden smiled and as he pet his head.

"You are right tho, Ivy is very strong, maybe as strong as Zeldrak, just in a different kinda way..." Zaiden grin.

"Speaking of strong woman...Tsuta was so much alike Ivy...yeah sure, they are short, but they have a will power that I cannot describe..."

"Why is that my friend? Are you going to continue the story?" Asked Aiden.

The group once again sit down and listened.

"That night..i slept holding her tightly, i dunno what came over me, but I wanted to be by herside, but I knew I had no chance.
The next morning I wake up before her, she was so adorable while sleeping, but I had to leave..."

"Why did you left her?" Emily stated. "That was a sign that she liked you, you were silly!"

"Yeah...it was, and I only realized it when she ordered all the guards to look for me...and she personally asked me to be her personal body guard. I would live in the castle with her. I had water, food and everything else..."

"You didn't had a 'home' anymore mate...and she game you one...." Ricky pointed that out.

"Yeah...but...still was weird to live with her in the palace...but I accepted. Me and her became more then simple friends..."

"What do you mean?" Emily asked innocently.

"Grown up stuff Em..." Siegfried replied.

Zack by this time had a sad look and sad tone.

"Zack...what happened afterwards...?" Lean asked with afraid with a worried expression, she knew that was the awnser she was afraid to hear.

"Me and her were intimate and a after not even a year, after...the kingdom was attacked by a dark creatures, we know them as the "horgrif" Even tho it was just one, it was causing great destruction some soldiers lost their lifes... Tsuta could not see that anymore. So she steeped forward, invoked her staff and... pet her belly, it was...round...apologized for her selfishness.
She broke the barrier to set us free, she took her life to protect us from darkness..."

For a while everyone remained silent. Zack was looking down and walked away to the place where Ivy was holding his left arm, where he was injected with horgrif blood.
Tears were crossing his face.  There was more to the story, however, Zack was not ready to tell, yet.

A few moments passed and an earthquake started to rumble.
What was it this time?

"Wait...this feels like..." Zack was shocked, and feared what would come next
