Queen Sophia dashed into the room closest to her and slammed the door shut. Alastair and Miranda were able to phase through the door and follow her inside. The queen quickly sat down on a chair and took a deep breath, shuddering in the process as she heard another bang on the wall. Queen Sophia began to look at the maps and the books that were scattered across the table. She glanced from one to the other, trying her possible best to make sure that she was not missing anything. But when she heard another bang, she jumped up and took a deep breath to calm herself down.The war was getting more perilous. Sophia knew that Elderien may not survive for long for the reinforcements they were waiting for had not arrived. The enemy they faced had better armoury, better soldiers and a greater chance of. Winning the battle. Queen Sophia knew that it would all soon be over, and when the enemy won, she may have to be killed.And so would her children. No, she could not fanthom the thought of her c
The third general slowly approached the queen with a smile on his face but the Queen was not smiling. He was quite disappointed when he could not make her reciprocate the emotion that he was showing off."My queen, you should not be here, in this lowly place. You must allow me to escort you into a tent while you make yourself comfortable." The third general said to her and she scoffed. She could not believe her ears."Are you enchanted? Are you under some form of spell?" The queen asked the general who was confused by the nature of her question."I'm afraid I do not understand what you mean...""Are you aware that the capital is burning at this very moment?.are you aware that your king is out there fighting for his people? And what are you doing? You are here eating and resting with your army while the kingdom burns. You have disobeyed a direct order from your king to assist in the battle and you do not feel any remorse. Explain yourself before I have your head."Sophia spat with an a
“To Queen Sophia!” The audience boomed with roars of laughter emanating from everyone present in the hall.“To You, Our Queen.” One of the noble whisper to the Sophia who gave a hearty smile and raised her glass to everyone.She looked over to the King who wore a face of disdain and disgust but quickly comported his face and smiled at her.“You’re a wonder, my darling. Thank you for winning for us.” Sophia stared at him, unsure of what to say, her mouth quirked and a second later, a smile creeped up her face. “I am filled with happiness to fight for our country and win.”She turned her attention to the crowd, the nobles were the ones who had threw the party for us saying that she was a man in woman form, she had the strength and courage to go war and bring the victory home.“Great Elderiens, admiration to the gods who gave Queen Sophia the strength to go to war and bring victory to us.” One of the nobles said.From the crowd, a woman whispered to another woman beside her. “You see
Alastair and Miranda watched as the King paced up and about in the throne room, baffled, his face creased with worries, he will stop every minute and ponder for a second then goes about pacing again.Miranda wonders what goes on in his mind, watching his every moves with intent.“Pray tell, the heavens that one day, I will not be overthrown by this woman I call my wife.” Marius said, his face looking toward the ceiling in reverence to him looking at the sky as he prays.Marius looked threatened not only at the fact that the people regards his wife more than him and that what if it happens that they start seeing his wife as both king and queen.“No!” Maris thundered, “it can’t happen and it won’t!” He shook his head, “I am the king and I shall act the role of the king, and no one regards the queen than I.” Miranda shuddered and Alastair quickly holds her, it was obvious that the king was overly jealous of his queen Sophia, and his mind has been clouded with hatred for her and at this
"Queen Sophia, remember who we are. We are here to help..." Miranda began as soon as the ghost started approaching them. The ghost did not have a cheer on her face, and all that Miranda could see was the anger and hated that she had carried to her grave.As Sophia began to come too close, Alastair quickly cast a spell and bridged himself between Miranda and the ghost, who at that time was already getting worked up. The ghost opened it's mouth to say something, but like painful transition of death, she could no longer speak. Her mouth suddenly stretched far beyond it's normal limits and it became a hollow mass of darkness.Alastair watched carefully as all the ghost could do was wail. She wailed so much and when she did, the energy in the room changed. It suddenly became dark and Alastair could sense it. So, that was what happened? As the ghost continued wailing, something started happening.Alastair could feel something coming in masses. He exchanged glances with Miranda who seemed to
They could see the energy which the ghosts had left behind tripping into the cube. As soon as the energy started flowing into the cube, the cube began to thrum. It thrummed so much that the energy it was gaining made it seem like it was going to explode at any moment.Alastair walked closer to the cube and stretched her hand forth. It was finally time for him to cast the spell and he knew that he could not delay any further. He started whispering the words and when he did, the cube thrummed even more. It slowly elevated and gave off Sparks of energy as it hung in the air.Miranda tried to shield her eyes as the sparks became more pronounced. Alastair did not stop chanting. The more he chanted, the more the sparks grew, and the more that happened, the more the energy in the room got sucked.Suddenly, a blast of energy escaped the cube and Blasted Alastair away from the cube, and knocked him on the ground. The same energy had swept Miranda off her feet and crashed her as well. Alastair
Drax dashed through the forest as his breath shook heavily. He gasped as he tried to catch his breath, but it was becoming almost impossible. His legs were tired, his eyes were heavy. He felt like he was going to die!"Ah!"He cried out as he tripped and nearly fell, and the object in his hand gave off a faint glow as Drax continued to run. The object was shaped like a cube and had a large dragon sigil engraved on it. Everything about the object gave off a powerful hue, and the bright moonlight sitting in the sky gave him the light he needed."Please, just a little more...please.... give me strength..." He begged something within him as he kept running. He had no idea if he was going in the right direction or not, he did not know if the roads ahead were safe, but if it meant escaping from the creatures that pursued him,.it was a chance he was willing to take.Suddenly, Drax heard a loud growl and stopped. He froze on the spot, as still as he could, and slowly looked around. The fores
Alastair watched as Cara took a deep breath and relaxed herself. Her hands were placed at her side and clenched into a fist. Alastair noticed the uneasiness in her form, but he could not say anything to her. It was a training session, and the purpose of it was for her to gain independence from his instructions.He watched as a mage stepped forward and gave him a bow. He returned the bow and then, the mage walked towards Cara. The mage, a young man, gave Cara a bow as well which she also returned.Alastair exhaled as he looked at them"Remember why you are here today. You are both here to horn those particular skills which have been giving you a hard time. Cara, you will spar with Reynold today. This sparring session will be violent. The only rule is not to kill each other.Begin!"Alastair said and stomped the staff he was holding on the ground. It created a wave of energy that thrummed around the training ground and settled on the pillars which surrounded the space. It was an open gr
