THE ELDERIEN CHRONICLES: Aftermath Of Darkness Secrets
Alastair and Drax descended down the staircase and on each step they took, the torches on the wall lit up. Drax wondered where they were at the moment, and he could not understand how a place which seemed to be so calm and serene hold so many secrets.Alastair slowly guilded his hand and touched a brick on the wall and another passage opened within the walls. He stepped inside, and motioned to Drax do follow him. Drax did as he was told. The wall behind them shook as soon as they stepped into the new place."Where are we?" Drax asked Alastair who snapped his finger and created a streak of light along the wall of the old dirty corridor that lay before them. "This is the old dungeon." Alastair stated and Drax was confused. He sighed when the young man could not comprehend what he meant."There was a time when the palace as you know it now was not so high up. So, these were the dungeons where erring slaves were kept and punished. A lot of them died here. If you listen closely, you can h

Alastair stood before the cube with so many questions in his mind. He was as confused as the young man standing before him, Looking up to him for answers. Alastair stretched forth his hand towards the cube again and just like before, the cube thrummed.It vibrated and slowly elevated, filling the room with a light, at the same time sucking the energy in the room. But just like before, the cube fell after powering down. Alastair crunched and studied the cube carefully. There was nothing wrong with it. It had no cracks or anything of such. Why did it power down?"You have a connection with the cube, don't you? Can you figure out why it is behaving this way?" Alastair said to Drax who nodded. Alastair was already getting frustrated. He did not have the time nor the luxury to do unreasonable things. The spell should have worked. He was certain that there was no problem with it. He had crosschecked the spell over and over before they started and he had made modifications himself. Why wasn

Alastair could tell that his efforts to find a suitable reason for the problem he was encountering were not forthcoming. He could not even focus on anything all through the day. As the mages attended to Drax, he walked out of the room to get some fresh air.Alastair saw the dome and remembered what had led him there in the first place. The dome kept giving off Sparks on energy, but Alastair could notice that the Sparks had started reducing. He was not surprised. It was bound to happen sooner than later. But the only issue he had was the fact that he did not know when the dome would finally call it a quit. There has to be a plan for when that happened. That Was what he was trying to do but he was not even successful in that.Alastair was so deep in thought that he did not even notice when Miranda walked up to him. She sighed as she gazed at the sphere as well, and then turning to gaze at Alastair when he did not acknowledge her presence."What are you thinking about?" She asked him. Al
THE ELDERIEN CHRONICLES: Aftermath Of Darkness Reveal her truth
Alastair slowly looked at the direction to which Miranda was pointing to. He was not sure what he would see there but he knew that whatever it was, it was enough to send shivers down her spine. Alastair slowly turned his neck and gazed at the darkness that stood before him. In the midst of the pitch black aura which he could see, he started to make out something like the outline of a person.But it was a shadow. Alastair looked closer. He was certain that it was a ghost, or at least he suspected it was. But he had Never seen a ghost like that one before, and the uncertainty made him uncomfortable."What is that?" Miranda asked him, shaking with fear. What terrified her the most was the fact that the shadow stood still, not moving, not speaking, but menacing enough to show off a Stern warning with it's presence. "I think it is a ghost." Alastair said to her and the realization that the creature had a name made Miranda to become at ease, at least she now knew what she was facing. Alas

As soon as Alastair and Miranda stepped into the Hall, the doors shut behind them. They could see the cube at the centre of the room, thrumming with energy as they looked around. The ghost stood on a side of the hall, watching them closely and carefully as they observed her as well.Miranda was especially fascinated. She had never thought that she would find the ghost of a queen in the catacombs. The royals were always burried according to the rites of the kingdom but there was something fishy about the Queen's history after all.According to the books, the queen had helped her husband defeat a great for by serving as his Mastermind. However, she wanted to take the throne for herself for she believed that she was more suited to rule than he was. That led to her husband banishing her from the palace and Elderien forever. It was never stated what Became of her after her banishment, but the king remarried and had children with the new wife which continued his lineage.What if there was a

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
THE ELDERIEN CHRONICLES: Aftermath Of Darkness Jealous?
“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

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

"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

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
