The Dark Side Of Fate

~Amelia~

I wasn’t a warrior, neither had I ever led a battle before, but here we were. There was no time to contemplate what to do. Tamia had entrusted me with a task, and I had to do it. I did not know I was nervous until my mother placed her hand over mine.

“Stay close to me, darling. I will walk you through the process,” she reassured me.

I knew Tamia had given me command because of the mind-link communication. I was the only one whose abilities were not impaired. I had to make it work.

“I am coming to you,” I heard Erik in my head, and I relaxed a little. I was glad I wouldn’t be doing this alone.

We began wearing belts that held the darts and the guns. The guns were automatic loaders, so shooting the darts would be fast and easy. I hoped we would have the time to aim and shoot because, unlike the first time, when we were on offence and positioned ourselves away from the enemy’s eyes, we were in defence now and would be in plain sight defending ourselves and our territory.

“Have the men position and shoot down as many attackers as possible. Reach out to Wilson to give you the situation report,” Tamia ordered me, and I nodded immediately.

“Orders from the Queen. All possessing darts should begin to fire and eliminate as many intruders as possible. Kappa Wilson, can you hear me?” I linked everyone because I did not know which of the connection was Kappa Wilson. But fortunately, he responded.

“Lady Albert, loud and clear,” He replied; his connection was weak, but it was better than silence.

“What is the situation report?” I asked him.

“Many people are trooping in from the main gate and fences. I have lost count, but they are plenty, over a hundred. They are on the premise from all angles.

They are fast and have taken down some of our men, but the darts are working in our favour. The only issue is we do not know how many enemies we are facing because they are still coming in. Another unfortunate aspect is they are good at dodging and taking on the shooters; we will soon need to engage physically,” he said, and there was a lot of difficulty in his communication. Still, I was able to make out the link.

I narrated all he had told me to Tamia, and the worry in her eyes showed her fear. I tried to mask mine and be hopeful, but I knew it was just as obvious asTamia’s.

“Uncle Erik is on his way here,” I added, hoping it would be good news. Tamia was in deep thought, and then she snapped out of it.

“I need you all to be focused and determined. I need you to drive away the fear and hold your ground. This is for the sake of our future and our children’s future,” Tamia said to us.

Her voice was shaky, but I could see her resolve. Her resolve boosted my confidence, and I felt hope coming through. Aurora was also gearing up for a fight. I planned to give it my all, knowing it was the same for the others. None of us will fall tonight.

Tamia’s words touched deep into my soul. I felt the fear dissipate, and a new resolve replaced it. I nodded at Tamia, feeling honoured, and all the women urged me to lead them. I had never done this before, but there was always a first. It was indeed an honour.

We headed out, and Erik joined us in his shorts, holding a dart gun and darts.
