"Hey don't go. Where are you going? You are supposed to stay."Alves called on top of his voice as he watched the lion walk away. He wished he could do something. Anything at all. But there was nothing coming. He couldn't reach a definite reaction. "She shouldn't walk away. This isn't part of the plan is it?"He kept staring at the lion. The lion kept walking till it was out of sight, walking into another cut in the shrubs. "Didn't I tame her? Did I tame her yet?"Alves wasn't really sure of what to say. He was clueless on what to do next. "If I didn't tame her, she would had killed me or hurt me, or something."Alves took few steps forward. It was as though he was trying so hard to reach at something which naturally seemed to be remote to him. "But then why did she walk away? Was I supposed to say something to her, to make her stay? Perhaps she understands a different language?"Alves didn't want to waste his time any further. He did have quite a lot to do. He couldn't even tell
"Where the hell did you come from? I thought you left? How did you get here before me?"Alves knew that he was being illogical with the loads of questions he was asking, yet he just wanted to make meaning of it. He had struggled with his brain to quit thinking about the possibility of the lion being the one who almost hit him off the branch of the tree the other time. And now what?He had travelled in the other direction, in the speed of the wind. Yet, the lion was standing behind him? Even if the lion could run faster than him, which was more of a mirage because of the weight, yet it would had come out from where the giants were, and not from behind him. There was something else to be worried about and he knew that, but for a while he allowed himself to be distracted. But then the growl of the giants knocked him back to reality. When he raised his head, he realised a change in the giants' composure and approach. The giants who were once tough and threatening, now cower, growling
"I could tell that you had a great experience."There was a voice from behind him. He was familiar with that voice. He didn't really need to turn to be able to tell who that was. But then he was reluctant to face the person. Instead, he allowed his scurrying eyes to travel through the great space between the two mountain ranges. He stared at the mouth of the cave where many giants were, still on their knees. Though it was a hard decision for him, yet he knew that it would make absolutely no sense staying back in this strange space. He couldn't possibly start a new life with giants and a lion. When he was done looking, he turned to face the man who had spoken. The heat which was warming up his hair started to cool off. It could only mean one thing; the crown on his head had stopped glowing. "What brings you here?"He said to Akulia who had his usual stare. It was hard to tell what Alves had going on in his mind. His facial reaction seemed to had been trained to hide his feelings. H
"I'm sorry, His Eminence. But you can't return to Grimming Hills yet."Akulia argued. Alves turned to look at him. They were at the front of the lagoon, the lagoon they'd cross if they were headed to the Palace. They were back in the Kingdom."We will be done with this in no matter of time."Alves wore a strange reaction. "Will you stop talking already and lead the way. Would you get on the way when she already made a mistake or for how long would you keep repeating the same thing?"Alves was starting to get worked up and he didn't hide it. But the strange hoarseness in the tone of his reaction still lingered. Without a doubt, his encounter with the giants had definitely left a print on his person. Akulia bowed then walked to the spaceship-jet. It was as though the jet was always there for them to see. As though it would never leave there. And there was usually no one watching over it. To think that if this was back in Grimming Hills, even if a troop of soldiers are lying in hide,
Alves gasped for breath as he walked into the Ja Hall. Not only couldn't he believe his eyes but it felt like nothing was real there. It felt like an unreal zone. As though every thing was a figment of imagination. He had only taken few steps into the hall, yet he felt like he was already in the middle of the golden Hall. Coming through the central Palace, Alves had noticed that the whole space was built in glasses. Tower of glasses. But this particular hall called the Ja Hall looked to be very different. It was overlaid with gold, in every of the corner. And the gold looked to be very pure and fresh from fire. As though the hall had just been tried with fiery flames before he stepped into it. While he was there wondering, he began to hear some activities coming from up ahead of the super big and large hall. He raised his head. There were myriad of men dressed in super expensive robes, getting up on their feet. Majority of the men had white beards and hair. Those whose beard were
There were a lot of things going on in Alves' mind. And he didn't know which of the thoughts to give life to. He looked like a piece of specimen that was being bargained for by his worries and thoughts. The first fact was that, when he was coming to this central Palace. He had wanted to go straight to Grimming Hills but was discouraged by Akulia. And Akulia hadn't only discouraged him but gave him a strong reason to be very scared. And that was that fact that his woman, Mia was in trouble. But now, it didn't seem like that. Mia seemed to be doing perfectly fine. She was seated next to Grandma. In short the way it seemed to Alves, it was as though everyone was waiting for him to come. It was as though the whole elders and Grandma had coverged in the Ja Hall awaiting his arrival, even though he had no idea that someone, let alone a group was waiting for him.But that didn't even seem as something to be worried about anymore. The Akulia who had brought him here had left him by the doo
Alves didn't really know how to process what was right there in front of him. It looked like a third degree simulation. He was right to mistake this for several other things. But then, he was in an otherworldly environment and things like these were only natural to happen. But he could never had imagined that there would come a time that his body would split into two. It still didn't make an actual sense to him. He was staring at his other self. Though it wasn't quite hard to tell which of the two he really was. Of course the giant was his Ri and the other normal reflection was himself. "What else from here?"He muttered, not sure of what else was going to happen. He didn't know whether or not to expect something quite unusual. Everyone was still bowing to him. Even the voice in his head wasn't working anymore. How could it? His Ri was right there next to him. Only if he would speak, then Alves would know what next to do. He slowly got up on his feet. His real normal body. The g
"Count yourself dead today."Alves walked past Akulia, almost knocking him out of the way. He kept on walking as the maids which were making an aisle in the hallway bowed down to him again. He hardly paid any attention to them. He kept on walking till he bursted into the hanger. "Just follow me."He called over his head when he heard the hurrying footsteps of Akulia closing in from behind. He got to the jet and did the motion. The door lifted to him and he climbed up. Akulia got on too. The motion of the vehicle was ignited and it was suspended in the air. It started to leave the area. As soon as they were off the Ja Hall, the noise from beneath started coming again from the people within the vicinity of the super huge Palace area. Alves didn't seem to be interested in the shouts of the people yet. And he didn't even give an instruction to the jet yet. "Are we going to the other Palace? I mean the usual?"Akulia asked but Alves didn't say a word. Akulia took it upon himself to di
