The three people, including Lita, went into the shrine to see the prince.He laid as good as dead on a mat in the center of the dark room he is kept. The mat has been surrounded by candles of different colors. The room is filled with some smoke that smells awful. The three of them began to cough after inhaling the smoke in the room.They saw the prince laying down without a shirt and without a trouser. The only part of his body that is covered is his waist. His whole body has been oiled up.They walked closer to the prince who was still not showing any sign of life.The shock of what they have seen became visible on their faces. Lita took a step forward and bent down close to the prince. She raised her hand trying to touch him, but before she could do it, the old healer grabbed her hand tightly “you are only here to see him. You are not allowed to touch him”He then raised her by the hand and pulled her back wards and warned again about touching the prince.“why cant we touch him? We
She searched through the files for longer than she expected. Although they are arranged in alphabetical order, her targets file seems to be no where to be found in the cabinet.“where could it be? What is happening? Why isn’t his file here?” questions continue to pop endlessly in her head.Amidst the confusion and deep thought, she heard some voices coming from inside the prison. She tried to listen closer so that she could understand what the voices are saying but it just wasn’t loud enough to hear no matter how hard she tried to concentrate.“perhaps, just some prisoners who are not asleep yet” Lita drew the conclusion in her head and continued to search over the room for the file or anything that would lead her to the cell where her target has been locked.When she could not find the file, she decided to check inmates list which is another document that could take her the whole day to check if not for the alphabetical arrangement.“ohhhh….. my God, why didn’t I think about this f
I don’t have such an intention in my life. Although I have had several criminals as good friends, killing has never been anything I like or ever wanted to do. Few hours ago, all I wanted was to kill this man, that was my only goal. Right now, as much It feels good, it also makes me feel bad. But why? Could it be because of the amount of blood I saw on the ground?What ever it is, he deserves what he got. He has killed the king already, he is planning to kill more people just for power. I did the right thing by helping the world reduce one more bad egg.Lita has been standing in the cell, so restless that she could not sit down or even lay down. Her mind has been occupied with several confusing and yet satisfying thoughts.Its getting dark already and the smell of blood from cell thirty six has increased so much that LIta had to look around in her cell just to be sure there isn’t another pool of blood near her.She continues to be nervous thinking that a guard could walk in any minute
The old healer has collected the leave but he has refused to chew it. The crowd and especially konate’s wife are getting angrier every minute that the healer has refused to chew the leave of the devil plant.“I have a suggestion” konate’s wife stood up and say.Everyone turned to her and with a curious eyes waiting to hear what her suggestion is. When no one said any thing to her for some seconds, she said “there is another healer I know. Hi name is Boku He is not as good but he can definitely tell what this leave does. He lives alone about five miles from here. We can send the guards to go get him”“I agree my queen. We could use him” the village guards commandant said. He immediately raised his hand and called two guards who were standing among the crowd.“take the hover bikes and go get Boku. Tell him the queen wants to see him now” the commandant added.When the healer heard that Boku would be brought to come tell what the exactly the devil leave does, he snapped his hand out of
The whole crowd was still in shock over the event that is unfolding. The control of the crowd that is usually as easy as raising a hand up has proven more difficult than ever. Lita has been trying to continue what she was saying, but no one was ready to listen yet.The village guard commandant went closer to the corpse of Boku to exermine the cause of his death. The only thing he found was a sign that Boku was indeed stabbed from the back with a long sword. But that’s not an evidence or anything relating to where Lita is driving at. He got up and moved closer to Lita and whispered in her ear “I hope you can really prove this because we wont be easy on you like the last time if you don’t have enough evidence” he said with a serious expression on his face.“oh yes, I have more than enough evidence. Jut get ready to arrest this old criminal and jail him for life” Lita turned over her shoulder and replied him with a smile on her face.The village guard commandant helped to calm the crowd
He gave Claria some drugs and a mix of the herbs too. She passed out after she took them.“le…..lets go dad. We…we need to go now” Claria was saying until she passed out on the dusty counch.Claria woke up twenty minutes later. She is much better now. She has regained her voice and her strenght as well. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw that her father has packed what he needed in a small backpack. He was standing in front of her waiting for her to wake up. It’s as if he knew when she was going to wake up.“dad what are you doing here?”“waiting for you to wake up so we can begin our journey. The drug induces exactly twenty minutes sleep. I have been standing here since your eighteenth minute of sleep waiting for you to wake up so we can go see the prince. So get up lets go”Claria got up and hurried outside while the father followed her behind. They both got on the bike and rode off the porch, they began riding as fast as possible on the road.While they were riding, they beg
They all gathered waiting for the persons on the ship to come out. Lita came out too as soon as she heard the commotion in the village. She and the guards commandant got closer ahead of any other surrounding the ship to see who has come on the ship.The ship began to make a hissing sound at the back. And the hatch began to open with some white smoke coming out of the ship. When the hatch had completely opened, a Claria began to walk. All the commandant and Lita could see was a human figure in the green light.They both held their weapons even stronger and pointing it towards the person coming out of the ship. They knew that their weapons could never match what a typical Centaurian guard carry but they are ready to defend themselves anyway.Every other person around the ship held their weapons stronger when they saw Lita and the commandant did the same.They first saw her boots, then her whole body emerged from the smoky green light interior of the ship.Lita lowered her weapon first w
The prince felt at home in a strange land. He has been sick and unconscious for most of the time, but he has enjoyed every bit of interacting with the local people and getting to know them. Now that he is about to leave the village, he felt the need to go around and see the more of the village and the people, but he cannot because his body is still pretty weak, although he is recovering very fast.He laid down on his bed looking up at the ceiling, thinking and reminiscing all the good and bad memories. While Claria and Lita pack all they need for their journey back to the empire.Their entire plan is based on the believe that the prince would be better and ready for the journey in two hours time.It’s been about one hour and thirty minutes since the prince took the drugs and he is still not as healthy as they have expected him to be.The preparations for the journey back home has been completed for the past one hour. Claria and Lita sat beside him on the bed waiting and providing all
