A young man arrived wearing red armor. On armor, there was dragon painted and when he got closer one of dragons waved his hand and erased it. The old man turned around and saw a middle-aged man staring at a young man with golden eyes.
His voice was not loud but everyone heard it.''You dare to wear our emblem on your body without our permission. If I saw you somewhere outside the city with that emblem I would have killed you and anyone else with the same thing.''
Young man slowed down and looked at his armor. He got angry in instant but then he breathed in and continued to walk straight towards the King..not stopping at twenty steps away as it was ruled, he did the same thing, approached her staring at her with a scornful smile.
But this time she didn't let him get near. She just showed slight nod and he stumbled and fell down on his face as his hands an feet were spread apart. ''Oh, it was a long time since someone showed proper appreciation of power towards the ruler. It seems you know how to do it. I am glad,'' she mocked him.
He tried to stand up but it seemed as his knees were glued to the floor. She nodded.''Good child, you are the son of Lord Xeros. It seems he came to ask for forgiveness. I might forgive him his rudeness and try to take over my land. Ccccc. "She turned to Lord Xeros."If you want him to stay alive, you all need to do the same. You Lord Xeros need to show them how to do it.''
Lord Xeros looked at the way his son was treated and wanted to say something but suddenly felt coldness coming from his feet. He looked down and saw vines creeping up his calves. He suddenly realized one thing. The King is never alone.
He turned around and didn't see any soldiers, but could hear a disdainful voice from another side of the room.''Like I said you are really stupid. Your son is not even able to handle a little bit of earth power and you not even able to resist the bit of plant power...What are you talking about ruling the country, you are really daring,'' said Lord Dassel.
''You old wicked man. Release me!'' Yelled Lord Xeros. But Lord Dassil just used his little finger to clean the air as if he was bothered with a strange noise and ignored him. He turned to the King and smiled at her.''Child, can you handle this alone or do you need our help?''
She shook her head and beckoned him to leave. The old families elders gave a deep bow to the King and turned to leave. The demons and dragons just watched and didn't want to get involved with them.
The King looked down at the man in red armor.''Basil, we grew up together on the battlefield. I even saved your life a few times. Is this the way you repay your debts?''
Basil Xeros lifted his head and looked at her with empty eyes. Such eyes...The youth next to King scoffed.''Someone used dark energy at you to raise your levels and boundaries, but what he got in your body to use as a puppet. Hmmm. That puppet master is dangerous. We need to find him.'' He turned to give the King a stare. ''Let's make a deal, a big one. It seems some of my children have the same puppet master and they made quite a problem in our kingdom as well.''
The King was silent as she watched the old families leaving. She didn't even give any more attention to the nobles that were standing behind Lord Xeros and approached the youth.''Let's do that. I will clean a bit of the capital. It's better if you are not here when I start so I would like to recommend a place. Lais, right?''She turned to the demoness.''Take them to Kendra. Just them and the rest, please send back home.''She pleadingly stared at the youth that suddenly felt his body crawl with goosebumps.
He nodded and in some strange language, he ordered his followers to bring in the gifts and leave. As the daemons entered the halls and put down gifts, one after another disappeared as in thin air leaving all the nobles in horror.
Lord Xeros pursed his lips and stared at his feet that were now free of vines. He was infuriated. He planned this with ''that person'' for a long time and now close to accomplishing his long desire, he was stopped by a small first family elder. What no one knew his strength raised to the fifth boundary with help of ''that man''.
But then he looked at the King. His son passed the sixth boundary and was still bound up on the floor, kneeling. His eyes darkened. How do they dare acting almighty around his child, he planned to go and help him up and then heard the words. Darkness? Puppet? Impossible! ''That man'' said his son has great abilities and amazing future.
''It is impossible that my son is anyone puppet. With his strength... it's just impossible...'' he spoke anxiously while walking towards him. But the young man that was on the floor didn't even move a bit after hearing his voice.''Son...''Lord Xeros looked at the empty eyes of his son and got scared. He started shaking his body calling his name, over and over again, but the young man just kept silent, without any natural motion.
The King saw a desperate old man who was proud of his son not long ago, trying to find in this body any trace of his son. But she knew....it was impossible. The moment the darkness of the soul overpowers the light, the body became just that, empty jar. Nothing else.
She looked at the nobles in the room that stirred but a couple of people were silent. Woman and a man. They felt her gaze on them but didn't think much about it as it was just a fleeting moment. Suddenly the big doors closed with a bang. She stood behind Lord Xaeros and with a deep voice she spoke:'' Lord Xeros, you knew my father. I knew that you had such taught for years, so did father. But we never took it seriously as you just wanted the best for your son. But your love was something your son couldn't handle. You choose to hold hands with someone who never wanted this country to exist. Stand up, turn around and tell me the prophecy that was told. After that, we shall talk and I might help you.''
He saw that there is no more point of anything, he lost his son and started chanting.
''When the sun turns red,
and the leaves turn golden
on sunset will be born a new world order.
Eleven chairs will be set,
One child will come
The eleven chairs will become one
and the child will create a new home.
Those with darkness will disappear
The rainbow will make a new light
The sun is not the sun
And the power is new might.
The ancients will rise again
The dragons will come
The demons will arrive
But all will live in a new home.
Humans will have a new life
they will rise to new heights
But the child will become the one
That will make a new life.''
Lord Xerox started chanting but dragons and demons knew the prophecy and chanted together.
Suddenly the youth turned around and stared with wide eyes at the King and whispered.''You found the child?'' And she nodded. ''No one should know yet. She is still too weak to fight the dark forces.''
She looked at Basil and shook her head.''Basil wake up. If you don't I will incarnate your body and will end your pain. You have only that two choices.''
Suddenly young man lifted his head and his eyes turned completely black. Hi had a diabolical smile on his face, turning his beautiful features into something really ugly.''So you are the King.'' He looked at her up and down will lascivious eyes and then saw her not even being perturbed by his motion.
He expected her to get angry and hit him, but she just sat still her chair and stared at him. It seems this won't work. He needs to get close to her body. But suddenly he felt the coldness from inside out.
He turned his head and saw the old man freezing his body slowly. ''Why father?''
The old man smiled coldly.''Father? Do you dare to call me father? My son is no more in this shell so I shall destroy it myself. You promised so many things to my child, but what...taking his life? You think I don't feel who is inside?'' He laughed as he continued to put the ice crystals on the body.
He felt furious. He was so close to ending this all. ''You fool. I would have given you the throne. What more do you want?''
''Give me my child back. I don't care about the throne,'' said Lord Xeros while continuing to slowly pour the ice inside the body.
''Hahhahahha, I killed him a long time ago. I just pretended to be him for a while,'' he mocked the old man.
Lord Xeros smiled and patted his head.''I have no idea who you are, but it seems you didn't have parents. I could feel both of you inside just when you arrived. If you killed him, you die if he is still alive you live. So simple.''
Suddenly a scream could be heard from Basil's mouth.''Father, I am here. Please kill me. Please. He plans to bring darkness to all over the world. He is one of the corrupted from the old continent. Father, please. I beg you. My son needs a grandfather and a good environment. I never wanted to become the King. Think about it father. Let my child live happily. Please. Please, father...''
Everyone in the hall went silent. The King stood up and even before she could get near enough Lord Xeros broke his neck. He hugged Basil's body and started weeping. All she could do is to pat his shoulder. She rose her eyes, looked at the nobles with icy eyes and turned back to her seat.
''All the nobles in the room will be erased from nobles list and will become pheasants. The ownership will be set by the medium home and will be kicked out of the town. But before that, we will check on the amount of darkness in you. And I already sent my people to check your homes and inventory books. If there are some dirty stuff there, of well, you are so dead.''
She beckoned with hand and suddenly a mass of soldiers appeared out nowhere standing still around the hall. The soldiers suddenly picked up the nobles one by one and dragged them to the group of healers.
Lord Xeros lifted Basil's body and started walking towards the gate with a shaking legs. Everyone made way for him and bowed their head. The King stood up and started singing old burial song and soldiers joined her. Lord Xeros slowed down and smiled as his face was filled with tear lines that over and over from his eyes.
The tears turned into small ice stones and fell down with clicking sound. As he went trough now open gate behind him was left trail of ice.
The door shut behind him leaving desperate nobles inside. But he didn't care anymore...
