First Stygian Diviner:Apocalypse

Chapter 88 A New Leader

People from district two managed to break the spell the next morning, as Heigl told them that place was not under the attack of the monsters for the rest of the triple full moons.

They rested for the rest of the night then they started by sunrise, and they succeeded after a lot of attempts.

10 mages stayed with the old ones, women, kids, to make a spell to conceal them, and the others followed Yogev who was officially their leader now.

Someone had to take that responsibility and he was the only one that fitted that role, Heigl was walking with them too because he was asked to join them.

They walked near the burned forest but they didn't enter it, it was still on fire, but the spreading was slower than before because the wind stopped an hour ago..

They walked for hours before they reached the borders of the district, it was the border closer to district 4 and 5, where Yogev suspected the presence of numerous refugees from district 4 and 5 .

Most of the mages were tired of the ride, because of the effort they put in breaking the spell.

When Yogev noticed that he stopped moving, he turned around and looked at them with pride.

His voice was very calm when he talked to them:``I know that most of you are very tired, it was one hell of a night, it was tough, stressful, and consuming but we all stood together like one trying to save each other, to fight, to live …

I don't know if you are feeling the same way i feel, but last night we didn't only survive …we had the chance to change our future "

Most of the mages noded to his words, he just was so confident and caring which made him trustworthy in their eyes.

"We don't know exactly what we are going to find there, our target is to make allies, district 3, 4 , 5 …That's it…people from district 1 are not going to help us, they already showed their skin to us in the triple full moons…

From what Chris said, he made them go back to their districts…but let's think about it …he didn't deal with us until last night, after a month of staying here …

After a whole month, I don't really think that he had time to deal with the other districts…"

One of the mages said:" He will be taken by surprise, he thought that he got rid of us when in fact we are turning the table behind his back"

"Don't forget about the fire we saw when we walked all the way here, the forest is burned which means their houses too..

They are now focusing on the damage that got into them, ``Yogev added.

"Let's keep moving, " Another mage said.

"I love your enthusiasm, with this attitude i think we are going to make it " Yogev smiled at him then walked toward him and patted his shoulder.

They continued to walk even when they spent all day doing that, and when they started to see houses there they went there and started spying on them…

Using wind or water elements or even with animals that were under their control to see if there were any people left from other districts in district one .

Yogev divided them to a small groups of four and ordered every group to cover a part of that place, the people living in the border were not like in the center.

His mages worked for hours to gather information about the people who were living there, they didn't have any trouble because they were unnoticed for the whole process.

At sunset they went to him to the place he set for their meeting, and gave him reports of what he asked .

Not like what Chris said, people from district 4 and 5 lived there peacefully with people from district 1 who helped them since the beginning, and in addition to their isolation they were so comfortable away from the center where all the conflicts were.

People of district 1 gave them shelter, they helped them since the beginning not caring about the orders coming from the center and that is how all of them were not that bothered by Chris's ruling.

Yogev felt amazed by the way they acted against the authority of their presumed leader, he was surprised and somehow that gave him a small hope that he was not going to kill all of the people from district 1 .

War was not his first option but he was forced to it and that is why minimising casualties sounded like a great deal for a leader with the burden of his people.

He and his mages were standing in the borders of district one trying to save the maximum of his people in the middle of chaos.

" Even when you think that everything is going to be easy just by the look of their coexistence, don't lay down your guards, i hope that we could make things out with them, i think that these people didn't like Chris's order and that is why they are living this way"

"And you think that they are going to follow us ? A mage said.

" We don't need them to follow us, the purpose here is not ruling over them, the purpose is to make them corporate with us until we get allies from the other districts "

"Sir, there were people from district 4 and 5 but no one from district 3, i don't think that that is normal" Another one said.

" Why do you say this? Did district 3 have any natural disasters?" Yogev said.

"I don't know, but it is only natural for me to think like this when all the other districts get destroyed by natural disasters, " The man answered.

" I see…i think that you have a point there, but for now, let's focus on this matter, we have to make this thing work, we should work togother to survive and make a good life for our people " Yogev said with a smile.
