WAR OF DEAD CHAPTER 2: AN UNEXPECTED WILL PAGE 9: JOIN HANDS
The next scene unfolded with Waiden James, now a mere shadow of his former self, staggering through the dense jungle. His movements were feeble and desperate, his spirit weighed down by the burdens he carried. Suddenly, his sorrowful gaze landed upon Amena, who sat behind a tree in a dire state, cradling a baby in her weakened arms. "Sister! Brother!" Waiden called out, his voice trembling with a mix of concern and despair. Amena turned her fading eyes towards him, her voice barely a whisper. "John..." With great effort, she raised the baby towards Waiden, a plea in her gaze. "Your brother should depart unharmed..."Waiden, torn between his loyalty to his fallen brother and the desperate situation unfolding before him, mustered the strength to respond. "And you?" he asked, his voice filled with anguish. Gasping for breath, Amena replied, her eyes filled with a mixture of pain and determination. "I will meet you..." Without hesitation,

Waiden took up the baby and ran in the opposite direction, his heart heavy with the weight of the responsibility thrust upon him. After a while, Hercedera discovered Amena lying on the ground, John's lifeless body by her side. As John's body fell upon the blood-soaked earth, Amena crawled towards it, her trembling hands grasping his cold, lifeless fingers. In a cruel act of malice, the scoundrel beast known as Hercedera stabbed her with his dagger, extinguishing the flickering remnants of her life.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Waiden James embarked on a new journey, carrying the innocent new-born in his arms. The New King, driven by his insatiable thirst for power, attempted to seize the Lordean diamond. However, as he touched it, the precious gem vanished, leaving him shocked and bewildered. A voice echoed, a scholar narrating the inescapable destiny that awaited Hercedera Meracoras. "You cannot possess it, even if you have slain the king and queen, for their love still breathes somewhere upon this Earth!" Suddenly, with a glimmer of poetic justice, Hercedera hurled a knife towards the scholar, silencing him forever.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and people from different corners of the country began to rally behind Waiden James, united in their determination to overthrow Hercedera Meracoras.
