Chapter 15

The forbidden chance

When Leofin and Amnophia had apparated out of there, King was the angriest of all. His responsibilities were the biggest of all still had to care for such pity causes and a boy dare shout against him.

Mayoko had really lost her trust in herself having acquainted with Amnophia, so did Mystcot in case of Leofin.

The King was thinking of a new plan to do something or to stop Krokon who had hot powerful somehow. If he tries to save his people then his throne will be captured which would give Krokon power enough to kill all his people. If he saves his throne then his people will have to suffer in the hands of Krokon.

Finally the King decided to call upon the alliance, the chance he had never thought of using before. Finally he had to decide whether to defend together or die alone.

Finally the King told, “We have to return to the palace, now is the time to call all the guilds together, humans, orcs, elves, goblins, drow, dwarves, fighters, movers, wizards, wishers, warriors everyone.”

Everyone there understood the time had come for a war, the battle had just begun. Mystcot still had a pain of losing Ivan and Leofin and Mayoko to get back in the elven Kingdom.

The King turned to Marmok. Marmok said, “All of us should make a circle, the distance is for a group teleportation.”

The four of them, King, Mystcot, Mayoko and Marmok formed a circle holding hands. The air around them changed so did their surroundings, they were sucked into a hole in the space-time wrap and they were spinning. The world seemed lost, but the world came into being. They were in front of the fortress, the castle of the King. They tried to open the doors but it was shut from the inside. The King was surprised to see that Marmok had failed to apparate them into the castle.

The King turned to Marmok and said, “Shouldn’t we be inside the palace rather than at the gates.”

“Yes, it was but some kind of energy is stopping us.”

“Call in some of the guards.”

Suddenly one of the servants of the King came from behind and said, “Me Lord, please follow me. I will explain it to you later.”

The king looked at Mystcot and Mystcot at the King. Mystcot nodded. They five walked for a long time till they reached the private gardens of the King.

Suddenly a group of fighters emerged from the bushes and many more out of nowhere.

The servant dropped to his feet and cried, “Forgive me.”

One of the fighters rushed to kill the servant, but Mystcot intervened and cut his neck down. Marmok suddenly started touching each of his teammates and every one of them apparated from there. He looked at the servant doubtfully but finally made him to dissapparate too. Many of the fighters had advanced over him and him being the arch-mage drew a fireball out of air into his fist and threw it out.

The whole of the garden was burned and still on fire but nothing had happened to the fighters they being new to their own powers. But this provided enough time to Marmok to make a spell for himself and apparate out of there.

Marmok dissaparated out of there and found himself in front of the King. They had returned to the Reverill village. They were inside the master’s cavern and the servant was now kneeling with a blade pointed towards his neck by Mystcot. The King was seated by the table with one arms resting on it and Mayoko had brought some refreshment for them all. Marmok sat on a chair so did Mayoko. The King motioned with his hands to Mystcot to do the same that was to acquire a seat which he did.

The King turned to Marmok saying, “Do put the truth spell on him.”

Marmok did a sign towards the servant with his fingers muttering and then looked towards the King with a different sign indicating the truth was to be answered to the King.

The King looked at the servant in the eyes but the servant bent his head towards the floor. The King finally broke the silence by saying, “Well begin your story Icarius, the guard.”

Tears dropped from the eyes of Icarius, not of fear but of sorrow of having to betray his King.

“You were away me King, the court was left to the others to take care by; we were ready for any attack from the outside but from inside…, since you were gone we were weak.”

“We were on our guard day and night, but they attacked from the inside, they apparated out of nowhere behind the guards and took one by one, not killed but locked in prison saying they would be needed for some sacrifice.”

“All the ministers were locked in some shell, magical sort of thing. It all happened within 5 minutes. I was asked to take you inside to the court but I thought of informing everything to you secretly in the garden but I didn’t know they could find us.”

“I never ever dreamt of betraying you my King, never in my life.”

“What has happened to Glinda.” asked the King.

“Nothing, she just vanished into nothingness like we did now.”

“What has happened to the throne, has Krokon there seated or somewhere else preparing for the binding ceremony.”

“Krokon has not yet arrived, now Mermokia is seated over the throne, he has some new power. Krokon will arrive soon. Did we lose it all?”

Suddenly Marmok banged his fist on the table saying, “I never thought my brother would be against me, he is making my father’s name spoilt.”

“Don’t worry Marmok, you carry your father’s name.” said the King.

“But he is the elder most one and still, anyway what were you saying about Krokon.”

“Krokon is planning for a ceremony where he will become the King after sacrificing the lives of the first-guards of the King.” said Mystcot.

“We have to recapture my fort.” said the King.

“But how?” asked Mayoko.

“We use the same method as that of used by them.” said Mystcot. “

“We should get moving.” said Mayoko.

Suddenly one of the patrol guards rushed into the house saying, “Three elves have headed to here.”

All of them without even listening completely went out. The King hesitated for a moment looking at his servant, then went to the door. At the door he turned saying, “Your efforts weren’t completely fruitless, come join our fight.”

The servant also followed the King, the King handed Icarius a sword from the cavern and moved out. Ogrek and Revarin were already talking with the elves and the patrol guard had reached to their respective stands.

Mayoko went to the elf in the middle and hugged her. The King remembered that the one at the centre was Colson, one of the main Gemnets from the elf territories. Colson bowed before the King and the other two elves kneeled and rose, a kind of bow.

Colson looked at the King and said, “Greetings king. I am here to talk of the current disputes.”

The King bowed back as it was one of the two main protectors of the realm who was in front of him.

Colson gave some orders to the other elves, Mystcot called over some of the people and two of the servants took the elves with them. Colson, King and all the other masters including Ogrek and Revarin went back inside the house.

Refreshments were brought by one of the trainees for all and they were all seated.

Marmok turned to the King and asked, “Where is that servant of yours?”

“I left him free, he will fight for us; he is outside, waiting.” answered the King.

“Can he be trusted?” asked Marmok.

“I would with my life.”

“But with your throne?” asked Mayoko.

“He is under a jinx Mayoko to serve me, a ritual long lasting. Anyway Colson, why have you come?”

“At the time of the death of Raddak, we were fighting some strange beings which were not of this world. They were called the spectral beings, anyway they were not seen after that, but recently after a long time they have been attacking our Kingdom. They are dangerous and can only be killed by someone like, Warren Warrymn, the King or anyone powerful. But for ordinary fighters, survivability is not a possibility. I came to you to request to come and help us find the source of these beings and destroy it.”

“This is one among the grave matters Colson, but we have something more at hand, the realm is going to erupt soon on itself.”

“Why when you are the King.”

“My fortress has been capture ad someone named Krokon is going to do the ceremony to throw me of the thrown and seat himself.”

“I know Krokon, he was the Knight of yours.”

“Yes, but he‘s more powerful, help me recapture my fort.”

“Well it’s possible but soon after that you help me resolve this issue. They target Elves more.”

“Done.”

“What are the plans?”

They then discussed the plans while everything was not fine. They couldn’t see the greater enemy approaching. Everything having fought in itself, the world eating itself, Everything colliding into nothingness rising to be the new Everything.
