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
As Ramond left the presence of the king. Just as he went through the doors, yet another person was coming to see the king. This was a person that could come and leave at her will.The moment Ramond saw her, he bowed in salutation. But she did not even spare him a glance in return.However just as she passed by him, her nose twiched as it caught a very particular but faint scent.Her eyes immediately moved in the direction of that scent. She saw that it was coming from the cup he was carrying. Pretending not to notice even though her thoughts at the moment ran fast, she walked majestically through the doors.The sound of coughing welcomed her into the hall.The moment the king saw her, he stood to his feet to welcome her."Ahh! Lady Esther, you grace me with your presence..."She lifted a hand to stop him."You may sit. I am not here to listen to you sing my praises."She lifted a brow, "I am here for important MATTERS!"The king sat up right in his throne."And what important matter
The time had finally arrived.Tiny stood in front of the device. The same one she had to visit frequently since she got back to Atlantis. But this time around, it was not in the under ground submerged district.The device had been moved here. In had been moved to the upper Atlas district.At the moment, she was in the highest, biggest and widest tower in all of Atlantis. The one magnificent tower that was at its center. This tower was the same one that supplied the whole underworld island with light. This Tower was called Atlas Fist. It was named in respect to Atlas's brave act of holding up the heavens in the stories. As it was and has always been for hundreds of years, this Tower held on its tip the one thing keeping this underwater world alive. It held an artificially made sun.Currently, they were in the middle of the tower.The room was over two hundred meters wide and over another three hundred meters long.At its center stood a thick robust pillar that stood directly at th
It had become dark in all of Atlantis. People on the streets stopped to look in the direction of the artificial Sun.Men, women and children looked on. Some through their windows and others through their doors. This was the sign. The Futon festival had started, and all of Atlantis was aware.However, for some people, it was a sign."The sun has darkened Elder Caleb. It is time we move." Aesir bowed to Elder Caleb."Yes it is time. Let's go!"Aesir gave the order down the line and the men and women if Ebora were immediately summoned.....Just then, as Prince August held tight to the Trident as he directed it's energy into Tiny's body. He could see that her body had started to glow and slowly crystalize.Then all saw as someone moves behind the prince and suddenly, the sound of a blade piercing flesh was heard.The prince as he looked at his sister immediately turned his gaze to look at where the sound had come from.Surprisingly, it was from him. At the moment, a knife was sticking o
The moment the voice went out, a Zodiac gate appeared and a ship came out of it. It was the same one that Derek and his friends had used to come to Atlantis.Derek stood on top of it while the ship's guns were directed to those holding weapons.Lydia pushed a button in the ship and it's front muzzles let lose a rain of fire. The men from the Ebora fired back and the entire hall was officially plunged into chaos.Derek jumped down the ship and went straight for Tiny. He hurriedly unbuckled the straps holding her in place.But before he could get her out, he had to doge to the side.A blade had come for his head.It was from Mr Woody. And the blade was not on his hand but rather an extension of his body.*Clank*The blade made home at the side of the tube. But because of the hard substance that was used to make it, the blade could not be removed.Derek rolled over to the side. Jumping up, he used his legs to kick Mr Woody right in the chest.He made an attempt again, but had to back
