Foggy: Guardian Of The End

Chapter 11.

LAUTHEL'S POV

"thank the higher gods you are back now, other generals came with a very terrible reports, we are very happy to see you now." The monarch sat back in his throne, he rubbed his chin and stretched his hand to one of the five supposed generals. I saw them in the visions, the one, who was gesticulated my the monarch to talk, was the leader of all the army, the army of a hundred thousands soldiers. I remembered him fighting well in the last war, which took the life of the other Lauthel. He stood up and pushed the chair he was sitting in, backwards. He was about seven feet tall, very huge, more than I saw him in the vision, he looked very hideous, he looked like me too, a ogre, he tucked his hand into the pouch that was beside him. He brought out a sealed wooden scroll and stretched it out to me.

"Two days ago, a vulture came in from the south to render a message, and it was contained in that scroll. The end is come and we need the guardian of the end. Which is you, the pillar between our earth and the unvarying earth, which served as the source of life to our kinds too. The heavens are wailing, the thunders are drumming aloud, destruction is near, the end is here." He took to his seat. I looked at him an angry, feverish stare. My head's were hot and my blood boiled, hearing the impromptu information.

How can I bear this burden? I thought and looked at the hope on everyone's faces. They all had hope in me, they thought I could. They looked at me, even the so called generals of war, they laid their hopes in me. I could read every mind, wanting to hear from their saviour, their inexperienced saviour. I fixed my eyes on the scroll which at first looked like gibberish or maybe ancient Greece, but was decoded by some sort of unknown knowledge. I read it eloquently and it matched. Yes, war is here. I was through reading the scroll the third time. I didn't know what to say, I was folded up in confused state.

"Surely, he will fight till the end. I'm sure and he won't let us down." Kyar said from the far left side. Maybe she knew the guardian needed a guide. I thought. It came in handy though.

A Minotaur looking beast, stood up hastily, I was more happier, seeing people standing up for me. "He's not capable enough"

Damn! I soliloquized. I never expected that.

"He's no match for just Theuz, and now, you're taking him to fight against the demi-gods. No!"

I was down to earth courageous and stood up. Giving some speech of hopefulness, to back up the little, Kyar had said. I was starting to like her. It worked. No one seemed to support the bullhead.

"Dismiss" the monarch commanded. Scraping of chairs, filled the room as the generals dispersed, pushing the chairs backwards and sideways. I was about going outside, along with the generals, right beside Kyar. "Not you Lauthel." The king ordered. He waved me to come. I turned around to him and after some seconds stare, confused and being expectant of a weird order. I walked, like a frozen figure, slowly to the king. Kyar never left my side.she stood like she was guarding the guardian. The monarch walked towards me, his footsteps echoed in the air as he moved in hard surfaced shoes, stumping the hard wooden floor, towards me. I waited for it. "Please Lauthel, I've been told, this isn't you, but you now! You are still the one..." He held my two arms by the side, his face was mild and his red coloured eyeballs were staring with a glimpse of fear and a lot of hope. The waters in his eyes glittered as the sun shone from the huge windows behind me, to his face. "You are still qualified as the guardian of the earths. You can do this, please we all believe in you, you can do this, you are our only hope." He held me still and turned to Kyar. "Please Kyar, help us, make this country stand, the world is at the end, end this war. Visit the seven realms, make possible efforts and make an army, against the Tyrants, coming from.the hell." The monarch slides his hands slowly, from my arms and folded the hands together, backwards.

I was in total awe and was dumbed too. It was like, I had the whole world on my shoulders, "I.. I.. I will try" I stammered and nodded positively.

Kyar held my hand and we walked out, a brisk walking did the magic out of the huge echoing hall. We got out and when outside.

It was a hell. A hell, a real one. The reddish clouds were out of earths and rumbling of thunder didn't give space for silence. Sometimes it thundered so loud that it shook the ground. Lightings brightened the sad clouds, which filled the whole firmament. With utmost surprise, I believed it was the end. The guardian they needed that moment was an experienced one. I've gotten a little to no experience in the art of war.

I stopped at the fifth stair. Kyar stopped, at the seventh, feeling my frozen state, I was staring right at her, she closed her eyes halfway. "What's the problem?" She asked and tilted her head.

"Where and what is the seven realms?" I asked with a emotionless face, standing like a statue for dumbness.

"You'll see." She smirked and continued walking though the stairs, downward.

What a bitch! I thought and immediately regretted. She swiftly, in a speed of light, came to my face and landed a huge blow on it. "OUCH!" I screamed so loud, that it echoed echoed through the city.

"You thought I couldn't hear that? Slugger." I forgot she could, she annoyed me. She left without looking backwards, she whistled and a dragon came, flying through the top of castles. It was so awkward, staring at a myth. "Hey come up." Kyar, who just jumped up, so high to the top of the huge dragon, said.

"I can't" I replied and she encouraged me a little, boosted my morale and I tried it. It worked once as I landed, wobbly on the back of the dragon. I managed to stabilize myself and did with Kyar's help. We mounted on the back as the dragon flapped it's huge, rugged wings.

We flew above the top castles and between outrageous lightning, the dragon was more swift and likely be preferable to an aeroplane.

After a long trip. We arrived at a destination, a dead zone. Figuratively.
