CHAPTER 5
***************************
KING GREGOR P. O. V
**************************
The meeting ended an hour later and I got up from my golden seat or rather throne. Every other king in the house stood up as a sign of respect. It's pretty obvious that other kings fear me.
But why?
Maybe because am the only magical king as others are just skilled in swordsmanship or
because of the way I earned the title as a king or because of the way I became a dark magician.
Either way, they should be scared because they are aware I can blast them to Edom with just a snap of my finger.
Inside the hall, I was made to sit on the largest throne which was carved from pure gold while
other thrones are slightly large and made from silver. My throne was located at the top and
other's are lined up in a row by my left and right. Eight silver throne on each side. Most kings call me the dark lord, some even refer to me as king of all kings. Well I enjoyed them calling me the names though.
I walked out of the hall with other kings trailing behind.
On getting outside,i was greeted by the cool breeze that swept my hair backwards. I was about to open my portal to go to my
kingdom when I heard a voice from behind.
"Your highness, I see Geza is not among the Griffins chained to the rocks".
I turned and I saw it was king Loren of Necoban kingdom who had spoken.
"so sharp of you to have noticed that king Loren " I replied.
"Would you like to take a ride with me" king Loren
asked.
"don't bother yourself king Loren, I came here alone and an going back alone, thanks for the
offer though "
And with that, I stretched my hand forward as blue streak of lines emerged.
RAKUS VANUSH VANUSH!!!!!!
a portal appeared and I went into it but not before biding the king farewell.
********************************
I emerged in front of my palace and I was greeted by four of my guards.
"Welcome back your majesty" they chorused in perfect unison,bowing down.
I gave them a nod in response as I walked past them with two of the guards opening the large
gate for me.
My palace,being the largest of all palaces was located at the center of Caruban and with the
largeness of a city. It was built 24years ago when I was still 16 .The palace has 50 rooms, 5 kingship courts, 3 army
camps and various training fields. It's still amazing that I rule the kingdom of Caruban. Just 2 years ago I was a commoner but here I am being address KING GREGOR OF
CARUBAN KINGDOM.
"Your highness, commander Viguel is waiting for you in the guest court" announced one of the guards walking behind me.
"What news did he have for me" I asked.
"News about the search of the boy named Aric Shane "
"Alright then " I said entering into the guest court.
"Welcome your highness" commander Viguel greeted with a bow. Dressed in his usual silver armour and with his
two swords on. One belted to the waist and one strapped to the back.
"Spill the news" I demanded sitting on my throne.
Your highness, we've conducted the search as you've instructed and we now have a lead. A
blacksmith carved two swords with the name "Aric Shane" inscribed on the swords. We knew this because he told us himself when we announced that anyone to tell us where Aric
Shane lives will receive a price from the king.
"Continue "
So we asked him who he carved the swords for and he said it was one man named Sebastian
that lives in Groovebane near the wander woods.
So we took action by spying on the man's house and found out that the house was the only built
building in the wander woods. Just as if the man is hiding. We took a picture of the house, here it is your highness.
He stood up from his bowing position and and handed it to me.
I stared at the house in the picture for a while....
"So what are you waiting for?" I asked
"we just want to give you the.... "
"STORM THE HOUSE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!"
*****************************
DAVID P.O.V
"Who are you" I asked drawing my blades.
"Concern yourself not with who I am but rather with what I am"
"What are you then?"
"A magician " was simply the old man's reply.
"yeah am aware of that " I said.
"What do you want? " the old man asked in his nusual hoarse voice.
"I need answers "
"To what"
"To what has been happening to me"
Well Aric, there was a prophecy long ago that Nissin will be in a state of chaos and mass
murder but a boy will rise to save the world.
"You're not making sense old man" I said.
"and why do you keep calling me Aric" I asked.
"There's much you don't know boy " he said moving closer,his goatee beard now very visible.
"Sit and let me explain things to you Aric. "
I did as he instructed He pulled his hood down and I can now visualize his wrinkles full face.
He looked up to the sky and as if reciting incantation from the clouds began saying.
"In the book of Nekromanial prophecy, Thou was written that the world will be turned upside down as there will be killing and bloodshed but a boy with great embodiment of light magic will rise to save Nissin from evil beings and creatures. The boy will have green eyes, he will be birthed by a king and his twin brother will be killed at Infancy.
The old man looked back at me and his eyes was glowing white, no black stuff in his eyes.Just
white.
"YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE, ARIC SHANE".
His eyes went to normal as he finished that last statement.
"You are the chosen one" he repeated.
"If I can think well, the prophecy says the boy will be a twin and will be given birth to by a king. Am not a twin neither is my dad a king".
"That is because you are not the one they told you that you are" he said.
"they?"
"Enough of your questions "
And with that the old man vanished into thin air. I began jogging home with my head full of many thoughts. I just can't think straight. I wanna rest
my brain.
Half way, I began having the smell of something. I fastened my pace and emerged from the
woods, looking at our house from afar,what I saw shocked me to the marrow.
