Chapter 258 Blessings Of The Bear Mother



"NO! Please don't do this to me. No!! I did not mean to challenge your authority. Please I beg of you. Prince Chiron! please don't do this to me. I need my hands."

Dan pleaded with tears in his eyes as he was pulled away towards the dragon.

"Captain Timi! Please Beg him for me. I won't do it again. I swear. I won't I won't do it again," Dan pleaded, trying to reach for Captain Timi.

However, the captain removed his face.

Dan tried to activate his Totems, but he was immediately held down.

Many of the troops came out to watch as he was led to the chopping blocks.

This included Dylan and his friend Deamon.

Dylan did not like this particular person, but that did not mean that he wished for him to have his hands removed.

Deamon on the other hand smiled at this.

He enjoyed the sight very much.

Dylan had told him how Dan treated him when he first came to meet the Captain. It was nice to see Dan getting a taste of his own medicine.

Both hands were put in chains and then they were set on a chopping block.

By now, tears ran down the side of his eyes.

Lieutenant Glover was the person in charge of this. He could not help but remember the first time he had met Chiron. He too had also tried to go against him.

He made a mental note not to ever do it again.

Dan was not just an example to the troops, he was also an example to the officers in charge.

Glover raised the axe high in the air.

As he did, Dan pleaded with him one last time, "Please!!! Lieutenant Glover. You have known me for a very long time. Please do not do this to me."

"I'm sorry boy but this is out of my hands."

The Axe came down like lightning from the heavens.

*BAM!*

"AHAHHHAHAH!!!"

But arms were chopped off.

Blood jetted on lieutenant glover's face and Dan fell on his back, screaming out his pain.

"You two!" Glover pointed at Dylan and Deamon, "Take him to the infirmary immediately!"

"Yes sir!" They saluted and hurried to carry Dan to receive treatment.

Of course, the treatment that he was to receive would not mean that he was going to get his hands back.

Healing a wound was a possibility, but regrowing a lost limb was not.

Dan would forever be armless just like the Prince that sentenced his fate.

Glover took the Cut out arms and brought them before the Dragon.

Without a moment's waste of time, the dragon brought out its tongue and the hands was fed to it.

Glover watched as the dragon chewed on the arms. Making cracking sounds. Evidence of the dragon chewing and breaking the arms' bones.

And then he heard the sound of swallowing.

All the while, Glover kept on advising himself not to ever cross Chiron's path again.

....

Meanwhile, back at the central camp, the Ceremony to receive the Bear mother's blessings before the war was ongoing.

Prince Victor was in his ceremonial wear in front of the crowd of soldiers.

He was not the only one. The Commanders also stood behind him.

The Elder Shaman with White stood before a sheep that had been placed on an altar.

She dressed totally in white garments. The other priests and priestesses around were also dressed in white.

By the side were the different Tribal Chiefs of the major clans.

The entire atmosphere of the place was one of reverence. After all, this was a very sacred ceremony.

"Great Bear mother! Your Children are here to seek the will of your guidance and Protection! Bring the Unblemished sacrifice of a beast Sheep that has never tasted the green of the earth," the Elder Shaman spoke loudly as she waved her hands and a long Knife appeared.

"Accept their offering oh Bear mother. For your children are needy of your ever foreseeing guidance."

The Elder shaman waved the knife in her hand and brought it down on the neck of the sheep.

The Sheep struggled against the brunt of her blade, but it was useless.

She easily cut off its neck and its blood flowed out staining the white of her garment.

Immediately, one of the priests hurried forward with a bowl.

The bowl was placed under the neck of the bleeding Sheep.

The blood followed into it until the bowl was full.

Afterwards, the priest presented it to the Elder Shaman.

She took out some spices and sprinkled them into the bowl of blood, speaking some ancient incantations as she did.

"Rahsisod slksmsoed skkospspps sraesvsos," the moment she was done.

The symbol of a Rune showed on the blood and then it disappeared just as quickly as it had come.

The Elder Shaman took the Bowl of Blood and stepped forward.

"The Bear mother grants a bit of the power of her all-foreseeing eye. As Head Commander of this campaign, she blesses you with her gift." The Elder Shaman dipped a finger into the blood and drew a mark on the forehead of Prince Victor after which, she placed a drop of the blood into his left eye.

"With this, you will be able to see ten seconds into the future. This is her gift!"

The moment the blood dropped into his left eye, he seemed to enter a state of trance, his left eye glowed white, and he actually had a quick vision of what would happen in the next ten seconds.

And just as he had seen, the Elder Shaman went around the Commanders gifting all of them on the left eye.

For the commanders, they could see five seconds into the future.

After which, She took a small broom and dipped it into the blood.

The soldiers of the army matched forward and she sprinkled it on their heads.

"This is the blessing of the bear mother. It will give you the ability to be able to see a second into the future."

Although a second into the future did not sound like it was a big deal. However, in a critical moment that involved life and death, it could come in very handy.

After all, wars were in such a manner. In only the blink of an eye, a person that was bright with life could be dead, not knowing what had killed him.

This was one of the reasons why the Vandorain Army were always on top during wars.

It was because of the blessing from the Bear mother.

Just as the ceremony continued, a beast eagle flew in the sky above their heads.

Everybody's attention was immediately drawn to it.

That was because this was a messenger beast eagle. It was a very well-known beast used for delivering messages within the kingdom.

However, this one had a Silver lining on its wings. In other words, this one was from the royal family.

If it was from the king himself, it would have a gold lining on its wings.

The Eagle made a few turns in the sky before it landed by the area where the Chiefs stood.

It brought with it a box. After dropping the box directly in front of Chief Ban, it flew away, back to where it came from.

Everyone was taken aback by this.

The members of the royal family that used an Eagle with silver lining were Victor, Chiron and Nora.

Victor was present so it couldn't be him and from the direction the Eagle had flown in from, it was easy to tell that it was not from the palace.

It could only be one other person.

Chief Ban took the box and opened it gently.

What he saw left him speechless...
