The minotaur grasped the horn and readied himself to blow it, however before he could pump some air into the horn, an arrow flew out of the nothigness of the cold night, and plunged right deep into his skull.

The horned minotaurs now fourteen in number, struggled to ready themselves with their weapons, grasping both labrys and spears of different varieties, but forged according to Gorelish style, with the sharp edges of the labrys arching up to the wooden shaft.

They wore nervous expressions on their faces, as the infiltrators charged menacingly at them, however it did not take up to five heartbeats before he fighting started.

    It had been two days ever since the Badorna lotus was brought to Pinkiland, and with the help of Lagnin and Hoglor, the purple hued Lilies were liquefied and turned into fluid antidotes as they had expected. With that done, it was then administered to those that were infected with the Skaezer. The curative effect of the Badorna lotus was very rapid because those that were administered with the syrup that was made from the lotus plant, attested to the positive effect of the antidote because they felt stronger, healthier and their fleshly wounds began to heal, however that was after each and everyone of them puked out some ugly contents from their stomachs which some of the elves attributed the cause of the infection to.With the cure for the dreaded plague now in Pinkiland, there was celebration all over the city, however the infected trolls, goblins, and dwarves that were hovering outside the city were now let into Pinkiland, and they were also administered the antidote.Meanwhile at

    Romeo laid down on a pallet bed, while he was busy reading one of the pieces of poetry that Lord Mordian had written. It was an interesting piece, and he found great pleasure reading it.Coupled with the reading of the poetical piece, he recited the wordings time and time again, smiling satisfactorily, each time he had reached the conclusion of the seemingly marvelous work of poetry, written by Lord Mordian.He soon stopped reciting the poetry piece and moved up to the wooden table very close to the bed and carried another literary piece which was contained inside a papyrus roll. The literary piece was about the tales of the Vannio brothers, a work of fiction written by Cedric Maino, one of the most incredible dramatists, that all of the Azarian world had ever seen. Cedric Maino was a Bauthinian playwright, whose skill for writing plays and poetry made him very famous, rich, and well travelled because his talent was in high demand.

    Klara was shocked to her bone marrow, when she heard Romeo say that. "What - what did you say?" She asked, as she was filled with great disbelief at what she had heard. She was quite aware of Romeo's crush on her because it was very obvious, with his body movements and behaviours showing special preference towards her, but she struggled to understand what happened to Romeo that he was able to muster such courage and boldness towards her, even when he was aware that she was advanced in age. Romeo was silent for a while, but after about four heartbeats, he broke his silence. "I said that you are very beautiful, and in all my life, I have never seen such beauty as that which I behold at this very moment." He said affectionately, looking straight into her eyes.Her heart plummeted and she froze, fixing a skeptical gaze at the teenager. "Well thank you."

    "But wait Romeo, not so fast." She halted the movement of his genitals towards her cunt. A confused expression swept across his face. "What is the matter Klara." He asked."Before you I let you put your thing inside me, I will like to get soft." She said lewdly.Romeo smiled sweetly at her, with his dimples sinking deep, right below his jaw. "You mean your part?""Yeees." She hissed."Okay, I am ready." He said, looking nonchalant.Klara furrowed her eyebrows in surprise. "How did you know what you are supposed to do you rotten laddie." She said jokingly."I peep and watch, a lot of times.""Really?""Yes.""Who - wait, is it who I am thinking it is?" She began to look a bit questionably at Romeo.Romeo laughed. "Of course, from who else could I learn how to become a man besides Lord Mordian.""Anyway let us quit discussing so you could get to work." Klara pulled her robe upwards, exposing her spotless beautiful thighs, leaving just her richly decorated purple loincloth which covered

    "I knew it." Lord Mordian whispered to himself."Did you just say something Lord Mordian?" Prince Elrond asked."Oh no, it is nothing - what I said does not concern what you said about King Arron Thickroar." Lord Mordian said, looking innocently at the elven prince.Prince Elrond then put up a long stare at him, looking searchingly at his eyes. "Is there something you know that we do not know?" He asked. "Or maybe there is something that you are hesitant to speak to us about."Lord Mordian's eyes moved to Galrut's direction, however Galrut refused to make an eye contact with him, thus he looked somewhere else. "Why do you ask?""Why I ask is not the problem, now answer the question would you?" He snapped.Lord Mordian was silent for about seven heartbeats. "What if I refuse to answer your question, what would you do to me?" He turned cold, putting up a daring stare at prince Elrond, clenching his jaw and caressing the silver shaft of his sword.Prince Elrond then rested his back on his

    Prince Elrond began to chuckle. "Ah Lord Mordian, you are a hard man to get into, I wonder why it is so difficult for you to talk, even when you are aware that I know everything you conceal from me.""Like I said before, it is a new trait of mine." He said. "And I love putting people in suspence.""You mean you prefer to be unpredictable?" Prince Gedd Bugbeard asked."Something like that." He replied dryly.Prince Bifur, prince Moka, and prince Gedd Bugbeard began to chuckle, only prince Elrond continued his steady gaze at Lord Mordian."However Lord Mordian, I hope your unpredictability is going to cause you to be efficient in the task we would require from you?" Said Lord Bifur."What task?" Lord Mordian sat up, and turned to prince Elrond, looking at him in askance."At the commencement of the civil war, we desire to make the first move to attack." Lord Moka said, taking time to pronounce each word.Lord Mordian creased his eyebrows, struggling to understand what Lord Moka was sayin
