CHAPTER 4
DAVID P.O.V
****************************
I got out of the bedroom with only my towel on and I began walking to my room. Dad and mum was back in the initial position I first saw them but mum seems to stop talking as soon as she saw me.
'Hey mum, what's with the face?' I asked.
"Nothing boy, thought you wannna to say some naughty things again" she replied.
"not at all,though I must admit it's still smelling but you should put on that face more often. You
look more beautiful with that face on.
"yeah,david's right" dad added.
'That confirms it' I said looking at my already blushing mum.
'gotta go mum, catch ya two later'.
I didnt wait for her reply as I continue walking to my room.
Climbing the stairs, I can't help but notice dad.He is not in a good mood today or perhaps maybe he is just stressed out.
I brushed the thought aside as I got to my room. Peace was already lying on my bed and with her bow and quiver placed beside my bed.
"That's your food over there" she said pointing to a covered plate on my cupboard.
"what's in there" I asked.
"Waffles with bacon cake" she said sounding sleepy.
"thanks so much but I don't think it's okay for you to sleep in my room
"Of course am not sleeping here,i will be waiting for you outside the house" she retorted standing up and going for the door handle.
"waiting for me"? I asked.
"yeah for a sparring match big brotherrrrrrr" she stressed the 'brother' as if she is mocking me.
"that's good but I will advice you to be at your best" I replied.
'gbaaaaam'was the sound made as the door was slammed shut signifying her exit.
That was damn hard man.
I got down to my food and the food was devoured in no time.
Standing up, I walked to the mirror hung at the far end corner of my room. I brushed my hair aside and wore my clothes. A pair of dark trousers and a green shirt with white
stripes matched with a gray boot. Opening my cupboard,i brought out the two swords dad had gotten for me when I did my last birthday. I removed the swords from their scabbards and I began examining them. They were both silver blades,both long and tiny. I so
much love tiny blades. On the first blade,the word
'Aric'was written on it and 'Shane' was scribbled on the other one. Aric Shane.
I guess that's the name of the blacksmith behind this job though I can say the name felt familiar. Putting them back into their scabbards and strapping them to my backs,the swords form the letter 'X'.
and with that I stormed out of the room.

ANONYMOUS P.O.V
A gust of wind smashed on my face reeling my hair backwards as I stepped out of the portal.
The place of the meeting had been mount Hozun over the years. Mount Hozun,being the highest mountain in Nissin was the desired place by kings
in which the kings meeting should be held. A large golden hall was built at the peak of the
mountain and it took seven years for the hall of the meeting to be completed. It was built by the earliest magicians though and I must say they did an excellent job for the wonderful hall they had built with the word 'THE KINGS CASTLE' scribbled
at the top of it.
Outside the hall, Griffins numbering sixteen are chained to rocks as it would have been other kings means of transportation. The Griffins are
wild beasts having the body of a lion but have the head and wings of eagles enabling them to fly. They must have done a great job flying up to mount Hozun which is as tall as 52 storey buildings if accurately estimated.
I should have travelled with Geza ,my own Griffin but I thought it's gonna be good if I give other kings a taste of my magic. Judging by the number of Griffins,i guess am the one everyone's waiting for as there are only 17 kingdoms in Nissin. I do hear of other realms being in existence but such can only be believed by me only when I can visualize it.
ALL BE ON HIS FEET AS I WELCOME TO THIS 25TH CROWNSMEET,KING GREGOR ALARIC SHANE.

DAVID P.O.V
"damn you David" peace cursed
We've sparred nine times and she managed just to get a hit and now we are moving to the last round. I readied my dual swords and I zoned into
Concentration mode. Peace had dad's sword also readied in her right hand as we began circling around each other. Our boots stamping the floor was the only sound heard as everywhere was dead silent. And then she charged, swinging her sword
ferociously. Her eyes shone anger mixed with aggression.
I was just dodging,side-stepping,weaving and parrying her blows easily which made her angrier..
Her anger is making her not to think of any strategy as she kept on slashing at me wildly.
"Anger is nothing in battle peace. it's like a blindfold not allowing you to think. You must be able to bend your anger to your will.Don't let it control you" I said dodging an uppercut
threatening to blow my head off.
'shut up dickhead ' was her reply.
Let me just end this. And with that she thrust her sword forward direct at my heart(killing moves).I waited until the sword was inches away from my heart before I side stepped making her lose balance,making use of the opportunity,i kicked her behind her knees which sent her bending on a knee and I placed my sword behind the back of her neck
"Yield" I said.
"I surrender" she replied
"nice moves kiddo. you've improved greatly.
'thanks' she replied and went inside.
After she was gone,i decided to go see the old man as I need answers to some questions.
I got to my usual spot,but I saw no one. looked around but still, no one is in sight. Then I decided to go back home. I was about to go when I heard a hoarse voice behind.
"Hello.... looking for me?"
To be continued ....
