IFTINIL ISHRAQ (The Bringer Of Light)

Chapter 14 The Massacere

WILDAN

The day came and we all appeared in a desert through portal made by Aidaza  as Badir  described , other warriors from the other kingdoms also appeared, he said he has to invite us in,  in order to be able to enter the Gohar community, Gabar was back at the palace by my father's side, Adeel was by me,

I still can recall my father's words "make me proud, spare no lives" and i promised him i will,

The desert looks familiar, i was looking round the  desert when it suddenly clicked on me, this is the place we usually meet with ZUHAIRA, just when my eyes landed on Badir's bare chest, it was a glowing red stone, it doesn't look like Zuhaira's crown but my instincts told me, Badir is like Zuhaira and as Badir said words of invite to let the whole army of thousands be able to see the said entrance, i felt my mistake,

And everything came rushing back at me,  why Zuhaira first fled when Adeel made mention of her stones, why she usual covers it up, and never said where she is from, "She is a Gohar" i said as i felt my heart squeeze, and then a cream veil appeared right infront of us, we all can now get in, and without hesitation the warriors all charged in,

"Come on Prince Wildan, i won't like to miss the good Gohars" she laughed heartlessly and galloped inside with her horse and then i entered,

Mothers and children were running helter skelter as they avoid sharp blades and arrows coming their way, while some women and men were fighting, some house like tents were already on fire, it was horrible, a girl almost the age of Zuhaira with a purple stone on her forehead blew a huge horn but stopped when an arrow was shot at her forehead directly hitting her stone, it was Armani,

"Nadra" another girl of her age shouted as the girl fell to the ground lifelessly, the other girl brought out a dagger and threw at  Armani but she dodged and it hit Adeel who was at her back, squarely on the chest,

I gave a shout of fury and pains as i watch my friend my brother falling down his horse and then i threw my sword to the girl and it hit her square on her stone, the stone burst into pieces as she slumps to the ground.

No one's P.O.V.

Zuhaira and Heeba ran all the way back and from afar they could see the chaos,

Heeba has already ran in another direction, while Zuhaira saw some kids in a huge group running and being chased towards her by two outsiders on a horse, in a flash she summoned two arrows and hit them each on the chest they fell down dead,

"Quick, to the forest, go to the falls, beneath it is cave, quick go" she said to them and they ran off, and then she took some seconds to see the chaos, the fire, the lifeless bodies of her people,

"No please, don't please" a woman weeped as five armed horse men circled her with her two children all crying, Zuhaira ran to her aid,

Before reaching them, she sprang up in the air, summoned two swords and in a flash was off with their heads,

"To the forest, Marwan lead them" she said,  and Marwan ran off Followed by the woman and her kids,

As she turned she saw a horseman coming off with a little girls head and throdding on her forehead, ZUHAIRA screamed and threw three daggers which hit the man on his back,

And with that she singlehandedly fought the warriors in the market square and the process telling the kids and women to go the forest, the falls and the cave,

She took another route to the prophet house andd their she saw it was born to ashes, with dead bodies all over, all having one thing in common destroyed stone,
