The sound of drills on the walls increased and holes at different points were blasted through. Men in overall black poured in through this holes.Surprisingly, they held with them what Madeline and Lydia were sure were guns.The two women took a fighting stance. With Madeline already releasing a part of her aura forming a giant claw before her."Father Fred! You and your halots should surrender immediately, your men are dead and you are surrounded." This was an order from one of the men in black overalls. From his talk, he was most likely the leader. Some of the guns were pointed to Madeline and Lydia, with a major of them to Father Fred and his giant fish bowl.Madeline was still contemplating an excape route, but the moment she heard that man call her and Lydia 'Halots', something snapped in her. She immediately released her aura and as in went forward, a chimera made entirely of aura appeared."FIRE!"Sparks of light like the shimmering of stars reflecting off water went off in
Madeline laughed again. "Is it not obvious? The second is Aesir and Gina. These two have currently been accepted as members of the Ebora. Although we were not able to get Grootslang, we were still able to get the a person into the royal house and two into the biggest gang. As it is, we are still on track."Lydia nodded in understanding, but she still could not shake off the feeling of something being wrong. Maybe it was just her feelings for Derek getting in the way, she was still actually worried.....Meanwhile, Derek was escorted personally by Esther back to the true Atlas hidden deep within the Submerged region. Before the short journey had started back to Atlas, a guard had suggested that Esther blinded Derek with a cloth or a bag over his head. She had taken his life on the spot. What the poor guard did not know was that this guest of theirs that they had been ordered to obey no matter what by the king was actually their Kings boss.Writers were a prideful bunch.No matter th
Esther walked away with Derek still in her company. She could care less about an ant like Ramond. If not that she still had to consider his importance and standing, she would have really made him swim with the fishes. Derek did not know what or why what happened had just happened. But the look on Raymond's face was just too funny. He could not help but giggle a little. "What's so funny?" Esther asked. "If I were you, I would be more concerned about what I would do to you." "Ehh!?" Derek immediately swallowed back any laughter remaining in his throat. In front of Esther's quarters were two very tall huge men that acted as guards. They bowed the moment they saw Esther arrive. She pretended not to see them. Opening the doors, she entered inside. The first thing that met their sight made Derek's eyes widen in surprise and then squint in observation. It was Farida. She was wearing nothing but her undies. She sat in a corner on a couch with a glass of what Derek suspected was win
"And do you know the best part?" She came close enough to whisper into his ears, "it just might."She waved her hand and runes gathered to form a long needle."So are you going to tell me or not? Which noble Writer family are you from?"She pulled his head closer. "I said which noble..." She was distracted by the slight smile she saw that was still on his face.She moved back and Gabe him a kick to the face. A kick that was hard enough to spill some blood."Don't worry, I know that did little to nothing on you. I plan to excavate you the right way." She touched the rune and twisted it again and Derek screamed some more."Listen to me boy. As of this moment, most of the blood in your body have gone straight down to your legs."She pulled him by his hair and bent his head to see.Derek's eyes widened a bit at what he saw.He could clearly see that his pants were about to burst from the pressure. His thighs had increased in size. Also, his private also looked to be at attention.She a
Esther was surprised by Tiny's smile. "What do you think that I can't do it?" Tiny shook her head, "nope. I don't think.you can't""Hmm!" Esther had a brow up. "What do you mean?""It is as I have said. I think you can. In fact,I am very confident that you can. But..." Tiny gave a momentarily pause."But what!?""But I am sure you won't?" She added "And why is that LITTLE princess?" Esther asked.Tiny felt that it was ironic that someone of Esther's sature was calling her little princess. But she did not say anything about that. It was not so relevant at the moment."What I mean is this. Kill him if you want. But don't be surprised if you trigger another Writer's war.""What?!" Now Esther's interest had been picked. Firstly, she was surprised that Tiny even knew about the Writer's war that happened a few years ago. Only a few distinguished kind of mortals knew of it. And that was mortals in seats of power or special cults like the Grootslang. The majority of the mortal world were d
"Farida! Come take the princess back to her room. Until we are ready for the ceremony, I do not want her out of your sight. Is that clear?" Esther ordered."Yes! My lady." Farida responded as she pulled Derek from Tiny's embrace. "Wait! What are you going to do with him?" Tiny asked."Don't worry about your little writer boyfriend. I won't hurt him. For now!" Esther responded. She bent a little to look at Derek. She could see a shining thing around his neck. She was about check what it was."Don't you dare touch him." Tiny threatened. "If you do, I promise to come take your life myself." Esther's fingers stopped. "I told you already princess. I am not interested in your boyfriend."Esther stood up and headed for the door out of the room. "My lady! Are you heading out again?" Farida asked."Yes, I am. I need to talk with the king. Keep the princess in her room and away from the Writer." She took one last look at Derek passed out on the floor. "And make another prison for the write
Aesir and Gina got dressed and left the suite. With the maid to lead the way, they arrived at the main house.And once again, they were before the great hall. The same one that led to Mr Woody's office.After waiting for some few minutes, they were given permission to enter the room.The place was just as spacious as Aesir remembered it. However this time around, this meeting was not to be conducted at Mr Woody's office table.It was on a set of couches neatly organized around a centre table.The maid bowed and left. Aesir and Gina also bowed, saluting Elder Caleb and Mr Woody.Mr Woody seeing Gina behind Aesir frowned a little but let it go. Besides, it was not as if she was not also capable herself. He had sent for only Aesir but he had brought his 'sister'."Truth seeker, we have called you here for a very important matter. But before that please have a sit." Mr Woody offered.Aesir sat while Gina stood behind him."Andrew the things we like to tell you are a bit private. If you d
In the grand hall deep within the palace of Atlantis.A man not so tall neither short stood in front of a big framed painting and behind a big golden throne.He had a well decorated crown on his head. And he was ceremoniously dressed. He stood before the framed painting. His eyes scanning every inch of it. It was a painting of Man sitting on a throne with a woman standing behind him, and two children in front at his feet.On the faces of both adults, was a smile and on the children's faces was fondness. As he looked at this picture and felt ever so drawn to it. So much so that he stretched his hands just to touch its frame. He closed his eyes that seemed so aged and his thoughts could not help but remember a time when the smiles in this picture was his reality. A time when playing the role of a father and a king did not have to collide but rather moved as one. When the crown on his head did not give him such a strained option, and his life was enviable at all.Sometimes, he felt
