***Ajax and his men were running on a road path that was in between trees as they arrived in front of a wall that was made from huge stones. They halted as they looked around and saw a man and about six guards standing in front of the stones. The man was Athens. Athens was shocked by the number of men that were in front of him, and he told his guards to follow him as they walked closer to them. Ajax, on the other hand, recognized Athens swiftly as the king’s right-hand man.Ajax knew not to run, as Athens and his men were outnumbered. Also, there was no turning back for him at this point. Athens folded his arms as he arrived in front of Ajax. "Who are you all, and why are you all running through this path?" Athens asked curiously. He could see the Bristol lights clearly and knew that there was a high-ranking magician amongst them. Athens was looking at the dressing of one of the men; he was checking to know where they were coming from, as he knew all the styles people in the magical
"This is what we are going to do. Everyone listen up," Ajax said in a rumbling tone. "You all should take care of all the guards that are guiding the front of the palace and also inside, while me and Hudson will head straight towards the king’s chamber, and we need four men to accompany us inside," Ajax explained in a rumbling tone, making sure that everyone could hear him. Everyone nodded silently, agreeing with him. "Alright then, let’s get going," Ajax said in a rumbling tone. As they got to the palace, all the men separated and started attacking all the guards, while Ajax and Hudson’s eyes were fixed on going into the palace and confronting the king. They got closer to the king’s chambers as they saw two guards in front of the door. Ajax ordered the men behind them to handle the guards as the men killed the guards. Hudson tried pushing the door open, but it was locked from the inside. "The door is locked from the inside!" Hudson yelled as he turned to face Ajax. The men that we
It was only a long pair of trousers that he was wearing under the robe. Alexander had huge muscles with veins all over his body. Seeing his muscles, Ajax and Hudson's mouths opened wide in awe. They were shocked to see how huge the king was under the robe.Ajax gulped. ‘Holy Magnitoz, I never knew the king was this muscular under that robe; how do I fight against him now? He is like times two my size; I can’t back out of the combat either; I will have to fight him even with the possibility that he would beat me hands down and kill me in the process’ Ajax thought."Now, let’s begin the combat; the rest of you should move backwards for now," Alexander said in a rumbling tone. He could sense the fear that they had after seeing how he looked under his robe.Hudson and the guards move backward, creating space in the center of the chamber. Alexander and Ajax stood in the center of the chamber, both in a fighting stance. ‘This might be one of the toughest fights and probably the last fight o
***The following morning,Hudson woke up feeling something warm on his leg. He opened his eye to look in front of him as he saw a woman pressing a towel on his leg. "Where am I?" He asked as he looked around. He saw Ajax on a bed next to him, and a woman was also pressing a towel on Ajax's legs."You are at Goodwell’s Hospital," the woman who was pressing the warm towel on his leg answered.Hudson noticed that he could only see out of one eye as he touched his left eye and felt a cloth on it. ‘I almost forgot that my eye was removed in the fight last night’ He thought."How did me and my friend get here?" Hudson asked, staring at the lady. She was wearing a white gown. She stopped pressing the towel on his leg as she stood upright."A couple of men brought you two here last night; they are currently waiting outside the hall," she answered."There is no need for you to worry, Hudson; I told them to bring us here; you passed out after everything that happened last night," Ajax said cal
Two days later, it was the day of Ajax's coronation to become king.They were hosting the ceremony in the open field of the palace. There were multiple chairs arranged across the field, with guests from all over the city. Dean Agatos, King Julius, Brabus, and a couple of other people in the city—both people that Hudson and Ajax have dealt with in the past—were all present.Hudson and Ajax were inside the king’s chambers. Hudson was helping Ajax get ready for the coronation. Hudson placed the large crown with diamonds encrusted in it on Ajax’s head. Ajax was wearing a robe that was made from lion skin. This was the way that the old sorcerer asked Ajax to dress for the ceremony. He is the one who is going to crown Ajax as the new king of the city."You are going to be officially crowned as the new king of Magnitoz City; how do you feel?" Hudson asked, staring at Ajax with a smile."I don’t know how to feel, but I know I feel happy," Ajax responded."I heard most of the citizens will be
Ajax told the guards that were standing behind the door to let the person in. As they opened the door, Dean Agatos entered the room. He ambled over to the front of the throne and did a half-bow."Can I have a word with you in private, my king?" Agatos said calmly.Ajax wondered what he wanted to talk about, whether it was the fact that he would no longer be teaching at the academy or something else. So, he told Hudson to leave the chamber for a while and that he would send one of the guards to come and get him when his conversation with Agatos was done.Hudson went out, as it was now Ajax, the two guards standing at the side of his throne, the two guards behind the front door, and Agatos."Go ahead, tell me, what do you want to talk about?" Ajax asked. Agatos looked at the guards standing behind him as he hesitated to speak. Ajax noticed that he hesitated because of the guards as he stood up, walked over to where he was standing, and stood next to him."Tell me, what do you want to ta
"Me too; do you remember the first day we met?" Ajax inquired, raising an eyebrow."Of course, I don’t know if I remember all the details, but I do remember the encounter; you were the one that saved me from going into the academy when I didn’t have the academy seal on me," Hudson responded."Exactly. I remember telling you that I felt a strange connection between me and you, and now look at where we are today," Ajax said with a smile."We made history together and saved the city from the tyrant king; none of these would have been possible without you," Ajax added."Yeah," Hudson muttered as he placed his left hand on his missing eye. Ajax noticed the sad look on his face as he touched his eye. He could tell Hudson was hurt about losing his eye. "I am sorry you lost your eyes," Ajax said in a soft tone."No, it’s fine; you don’t have to say that; it was a small price to pay for our victory," Hudson replied as he removed his hand from the eye. Even though Hudson was hurt about losing a
"Yeah, but I hope you don’t think about it too much," Ajax muttered with a pale face. He couldn’t begin to imagine how losing an eye would feel."Of course, now let’s get to drinking," Hudson replied as he picked up the glass of wine.***Hudson staggered into a wide room that was inside the palace; it was the room in which he had been spending his nights. As he walked towards the bed in the middle of the room, he hit his leg on a couch that was at the side of the room. He could barely see clearly from the amount of alcohol he had had with Ajax. He got up and managed to get to the bed as he laid down and spread his arms across the bed.‘My time from the last mission is about to be over. I am scared of going back there like this. My mom would have a lot of questions and would be shocked and hurt that I lost an eye. I didn’t tell her anything about the issues I had with Alexander before, but I hoped she would be calm enough to understand me. It’s not like I lied about anything; I just d
