The panting councilman panted heavily as he made through the dungeons of the river that flowed out of Onyx to other kingdoms in the Sunero. He knew that by now, his absconding would have already been noticed by the knights and a search for him would have already begun so any delay could enhance his recapturing. He felt really bad about the action he was taking and wished he could just turn himself in to the King but knowing fully well about the consequences of such act made him shrug off the thoughts and hastened up his weakening pace. He had to get to the outside of the walls before its mouth is cordoned off by the guards of Onyx.
King Stylx was shocked when he got the news of the absconding councilman, of all the people he suspected, he was the last person to come to his mind. Why would he arrange a hit man to go after his army general daughter on her wedding day, why kill the innocent child for a grudge with the father based on an action he instructed the man to carr
“Why would he carry out such barbaric act against we the councilmen even if he got orders from the king, you should have said no. Have his men strip us and whip our backs to sore is simply unforgiveable? Walyx complained bitterly to Caglx as they walked towards their first council meeting after King Stlyx recalled them from suspension. “True but we had it coming, the king had always expressed his displeasure about lack of decorum in the court house, he practically had to beg us last time on it but yet we disregarded his pleas and made mockery of his warnings so we kind of had it coming” Caglx replied as he tried to defend the king’s actions knowing fully well how Walyx had always shown his displeasure towards King Stylx. Walyx gave Caglx the wicked look, hissed and walked away. “Hope you will be coming over to my place later tonight with your family, my wife is making a special meal tonight?”, Caglx shouted at him as he hurried into the courtroom.
Nephla walked slowly into the woods as she needed to clear her head, being the queen of Onyx wasn’t something regular for her and she felt anxious on how her leadership was going to be. She knew that Stylx was going to really need her services and there was no room for any mistake as that will spell issue not just for her and Stylx but the whole of Onyx, something that was sure to have huge consequences. She felt tired of walking and decided to rest on a rock, there was no aid as she had stopped her escorts from following her as she walked into the woods. Just then she was lost in thoughts and unknowingly slept off.Caglx was threading in the woods, he had a heated argument with his wife and decided to walk out so as to avoid making it physical, he murmured as he kept kicking stuffs on his path. He knew he was at fault but couldn’t bring himself to apologize to his wife. He knew he was in the urge for intimacy and the way he could rightfully get it w
Deep smokes emerges from the city of light as Onyx lies in ruins. The sky is darkened as the inferno rages on. The Aarangs are having a filled day as they cut through every starlight soldier that stood on their way. Women and children scampered for safety as they were not left out of the onslaught. The once heavily guarded kingdom was now at the mercy of Gogla and his demons. Bodies littered the once beautiful street as more and more fell to the swords of the invading army. If only the people of Onyx had listened, if only they heeded the warnings of Jalib, the seer but now it was too late for any form of hearkening"Weoss is warning, He will soon depart, return to Him all ye people of starlights. He is not happy, He needs you all to come back to him in repentance" The shabbily dressed Jalib cried out on the streets of Onyx as he moved from one point to another on each busy pathway. Women laughed at him and mocked him, children threw dirt and rotten food items at him, even the men shook
All the seven nations were still in shock over the calamity that befell the starlights, you could hear the whispers of it at every meeting point or place around the densely populated kingdoms. The nation that every one thought were unconquerable has to flee from their homes to God knows where. This single incidence sent out a strong note of what Gogla is capable of and somehow the lethargic side of Weoss abandoning his own to the mercies of the gruesome tyrant. All nations were on red alert as no one was sure of what happens next since Gogla was in charge of the supreme authority now.Stumbling upon some rocky paths, the exhausted kid crashed on the ground unconscious. Elderly women rushed over to where the pale looking face girl laid, "We can't continue walking great Eeries, the kids are exhausted so are the mothers, if we keep on moving, soon we will have more casualties due to exhaustion, please let us kindly pitch our tent here" one of the women begged with some form of pa
"It doesn't matter how many starlights are remaining because I Gogla won't stop until I have crushed everyone of them" the gigantic reptile told Jalib as he visited the dungeon that evening to mock his captives that included the seer Jalib. Jalib turned his back at him all through the conversation, he cried silently as soon as Gogla left. For some reason best known to him, the reptile has decided to keep him alive, if it was to torture him or make him suffer mockery of how helpless his nation has become, he certainly was getting what he wanted. The old man looked up to ceiling of the dungeon as painfully said "Weoss, for how long?"Just as feared by the seven nations, threat letters were issued to them by Gogla. In the letters, he ordered them to surrender to his government and come to pledge their allegiances to hin in Onyx. Panic was spreading faster and becoming real, no one dared stepped out of the kingdom for fear of the unknown, watchmen were constantly on the lookout. E
The warning bells of the iced dungeon in Onyx rung repeatedly, the Aarang soldiers immediately made for the place of the distress call. Gogla jumped down from his throne, transforming into his beast form, he immediately made for the dungeon as well. "Who dared come near his captives stronghold, whosoever that is must pay direly for it not only with his life but also with his soul", he thought aloud to himself as he increased his quick strides. The prison was already surrounded by the demons as Gogla reached there, whosoever that was inside there was certainly dead for sure because there was no way such a person could think of manuevering his way through the party that stayed outside the dungeon because of him. Gogla was getting impatient as he paced around the entrance of the dungeon, no movement or soumd were heard inside the place. The doors were still firmly locked to the surprise of the Aarangs, how did the person get in was the question on the lips of the soldiers but whosoever
"You nearly got the old man killed, what were you thinking pushing him into the icy waters unprepared?" King Riub yelled at the mercenary who simply continued to munch on his apple pretending not to hear what the king just said. "If he doesn't survive Kylem, I will give you the most painful death that can never be imagined" The King yelled further as he prepared to go to the healer's hut where Jalib was reported to be lying unconscious. "So that's the thank you I get for risking my life to get you your ugly looking grand pa, I am deeply hurt" Kylem said mockingly as he held his heart and pretended to be sobbing. King Riub wasn't interested in the little acting that the lanky figure was putting up. He knew all the labours of rescuing Jalib from Gogla's hands would be in vain if the old man gave up the ghostGogla was having a hard time believing that Jalib had been taken from right under his nose. He ordered that the head of the prison guard be brought to him and in the presen
"An unknown company approaches!" The head of the soldiers on guards for the starlights informed his men. The youngest among them was quickly sent into the village to inform the starlights for another evacuation. The fact that it's been a long time since they were attacked by the Aarangs brought more fear to the hearts of the guards, how were they found out again after they had been extra careful after being fully away of how the Aarangs caught them in the past. Each man on guard held firmly the grip of their swords with a full resolve to defend the fragile nation even it meant putting their lives on the line. There were loud rustlings in the nearby bushes, it got louder and nearer but yet nothing appeared. "Show yourself you coward!" The captain in charge yelled at the direction of the movements in the bushes, just then a little girl came out and walk slowly towards them with a dimly lit lamp in her hands. As she approached the guards, their grips on their swords got even tighter, t
