DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter Rifts in the Waste
In a secluded corner of the Grim Waste, where the desolation stretched as far as the eye could see, Vernit stormed toward Elysum, his face contorted with anger. The air crackled with tension as the two brothers faced each other amidst the unforgiving landscape.
Fueled by frustration, Vernit’s voice cut through the eerie silence as he pushed his brother. “What have you done, Elysum?! Your actions on the battlefield not only jeopardized the ceasefire with the King but also left our tribe exposed. This recklessness ends now!”
Elysum, defiant and unyielding, met Vernit’s gaze with eyes ablaze with determination rather than weariness. A feral glint in his eyes hinted at an agenda that transcended the surface conflict. “Vernit, we both know your leadership lacks the courage we need. You played it safe, and now our tribe pays the price. Your spinelessness is our downfall.”
Vernit’s irritation grew, his resolve hardening. “Your disrespect won’t lead us anywhere, Elysum. I can’t allow your recklessness to endanger us further.”
Unfazed, Elysum delivered a sharper retort, his words dripping with disdain. “Vernit, you misunderstand strength. Killing is power; it instills fear. We must be ruthless to be feared, not cower behind false notions of peace.”
Vernit, maintaining composure in the face of Elysum’s aggression, countered with a conviction born of a different philosophy. “Strength isn’t measured in bloodshed, Elysum. True power lies in making wise choices. We don’t need to sow fear; we need respect.”
The rift between the brothers deepened, echoing through the desolate expanse. Unapologetic and unfazed by Vernit’s arguments, Elysum’s ruthless expression stuck, a symbol of the growing discord. “Fine, Vernit. Let Grim Waste embrace the chaos. Your reluctance just proves I was right.”
As Vernit, driven by a sense of duty, ousted Elysum from the crew, the rough winds of the Grim Waste witnessed the fracture in leadership. The once-united tribe now stood divided, with both warriors compelled to navigate their destinies in the harsh expanse, now tainted by Elysum’s dark ambitions. The shadows of discord lingered, casting a foreboding pall over the desolate landscape.
