On the same night that Daerys and Smaragdus returned from the end of the world, another group of men met with King Morrys. They also had an encounter with Zathryon, the red king.Barely had the king watched the two men dissapear from his sight when those people emerged and made their way towards the throne room. Seven they were in number. When they came into clear vision, four of them were clearly soldiers who had come from warrior duty while the remaining three men looked as though they had just returned from hell.The royal guards would not have allowed such company entrance into the throne room, but for his majesty who said they could pass."What brings you here, all the way to the palace." He inquired.The leader of the group could be easily picked out using his special armour as judgement. He spoke for the men, "Your majesty, my men and I were keeping watch over the cave of shadows when these three crawled out of the earth. They say they had an encounter with Zathryon, the red".

"Halt! Halt!""Protect the king! Slay the beasts!"The palace was in chaos! The men of the dark spies had become dark agents of the red king!They grew fangs and claws, roared like wild beasts and attacked everyone in their way.It seemed that the warning of the witch mother Marina had truly come late. Over the sea on the isle of witches, the waters shook and the earth rumbled. The bats flew in unison away towards Meredith, and a wild wind blew all over the isle.In the prophecy room, the young witches were terrified at the rain that fell and the thunder that struck. "Mother! Mother! It rains in the room!" They flew in fear to meet their teacher.The witch mother knew at once that the abominable had occurred."If the gods would have it, the royal seat of Meredith shall burn this night!" She uttered bitterly."His majesty?" The young witches looked around at each other in despair."Prepare the waters!" Marina commanded."Do you plan for his burial?" Asked Teresa, the second in author

General Arthogan was on his way to the royal palace to inform the king of an important situation that had taken place at the borders when the screams of people caught his attention.Traders could be seen running helter skelter here and there. Turmoil ruled the markets of Meredith. "What has happened?" He wondered as he rode on his horse with his men behind him.Then suddenly, a group of strange people could be seen striding towards their position, attacking and biting everyone in their way. Some of them were clothed in the uniform of the royal guards, some in the dresses of commoners, and some in the dark spy uniform."General! Beware! It is the work of the red king!" The voice came from among the troubled crowd, alerting the general and his men to draw their swords.But the wild beasts were not interested in an encounter, they all seemed to be in a haste to go somewhere. Ignoring the battle ready soldiers, they made into a nearby bush and pushed towards the highlands."Where are the

Percival followed closely after the wild men that broke out from the palace, curious of their destination. Leading the other men, he took a big, risky leap every now and then, almost selling himself away to the red ones.When they got to a point, the men were climbing up a high rocky hill. The soldiers decided to wait till the they had all climbed before they climbed after them.But Percival did not agree. "We shall lose them," he said. And with that, he jumped against the high hill and climbed closely below the wild ones while the others watched from a distance.All was going well and there was only one last demon left climbing above Percival. The wild man had almost climbed to the top and Percival was climbing right below him. As the man reached the top and rose to its two feet, his red eyes were fixed on the boy. Turning his head in different angles, he scowled and screeched, drawing the attention of the others towards their direction.Percival knew he was in trouble, and the othe

As soon as the announcement was made, the air in the throne room altered in depth and feel. The murmurs migrated away, and the tension faded into expectation. All eyes turning to where the voice had come, silence crept in as the figure approached the door.As Ul Thera stepped into the royal edifice of Meredith, he felt a shift in his own resolution. The feelings that came upon him were not alien, but were long lost in the deepest compartments of his soul.Looking round at the old familiar faces that arraigned at each side of the room, their lines almost as long as its entire length, he made his way in slowly with his three legs; for he had his staff right by his side."Guardian of the red orb!" The primelord called, "How long has it been?""Long enough to witness the return of the red one". Ul Thera saluted the lords and historians, then he turned to the high thrones. "Where is the king?""He still receives care from the physicians." Daerys responded. Lord Rivers added to the prince'
