The Halfling

Chapter One: The Meeting

                   

        After the Great war between Insisa ( Mighty One) , Belial (Lord of the Demons and the Ruler of Hell), and Hadi (Lord/King of the Dark faes). The land was split into Three; the South for the Humans(Krestila), North for the Demons(Dekina), and Mid-west for the Dark faes(Zechash). 

The great war has been going on for years, with each super being trying to control the other, but it all came to an end after Insisa defeated Belial and threatened Hadi. A treaty was then signed after that.

        Insisa was known to be the Mighty One and a powerful god. He decided to be more closer to the humans after the great war and protect them by turning himself into a glowing statue. That way, the humans can communicate with him and worship him. 

He exorcised Belial after the great war and sent him back to his abode in hell. And locked the Dekinans original dangerous powers, leaving them with only half of their powers.

He also locked the dark faes portal, which could only be open for a dark fae or any being with good intention. This way, he made sure Hadi and the Zechashians stay in their kingdom without leaving, unless deemed necessary and for a good purpose.

 His main goal was to create harmony and tranquility between the three lands.

The Demons weren't satisfied with Insisa's actions, especially the exorcism of their Lord and locking of their original powers. They planned to bring back Belial and get their real powers back, so they can conquer the two lands which will make the Dark faes to succumb and bow to them. And exterminate humanity but a prognostication was heard, that a Halfling will bring back peace again to the lands, since Belial is a very powerful being, even Insisa knew exorcism won't help for long.

  Therefore, the higher Demons made a law, stating no Demon must mate with any different being, and any demon who violate this law must be killed, including the being he or she mated with.

Of course, the Dark faes heard of the prophecy but they weren't concern with it, since they have no aim or goal of conquering the other lands. But when they got to knew about the plans of the Demons, the dark faes had to join in seeking the Halfling.

 All these were not hidden to the humans, but they trusted Insisa that only He can lead them to the right path and help them.

              The king reminisced the past and prophecy to his little angel.

Alina was fascinated. 

"Wow! A Halfling will save the lands again? That's cool."

King Zeres smiled. "Yes, a Halfling will save the lands."

~~~~~~~~~~~

  The land of Krestila was divided into two regions; the west region ruled by Duke Damon and the east region ruled by Duke Akirih.

Krestila was flourishing than the other two lands. Having abundant water, food, raw materials, good weather conditions, and beautiful sceneries. It was only in Krestila you could see a water body, that formed a star shape, flowing backward in a slivery glow into a mountain where it will split into tiny bright diamonds, and dissolve into a liquid form again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~In the Royal meeting room~

 The King, Queen, King right handman, and the ten council people of Krestila could be seen, including the two Dukes of the land.

"Your Majesty, you can't deny you are not aware about the plans of the Dekinans but from the way I am seeing it, it seems you are not planning for anything. 

Why if I may ask?" 

Council man Leonard voiced out his thoughts about the current situation and asked the king.

"Yes, your Royal Highness, I can sense your relentless on this matter."

 Council man Liam joined Council man Leonard.

 The King sighed. "It not that am relenting on this matter, but you all know we are waiting for the Halfling to be born, then we can take necessary steps."

The King really hoped for the Halfling to be born on time, cause he is actually tired of convincing and encouraging the Council to be patient.

Queen Ariadney, sensing Zeres turmoil, held his right hand, and squeezed it to let him know he is not alone. Getting the message, he smiled at her.

  Councilwoman Grace stood up with a dim expression. " What if, the legend scripture is not actually true, so are we,,,," 

 "The words of the Mighty one is never false!" 

Councilwoman Grace words were cut short by the old sorceress protest. Sorceress Hela who was known as the prophetess, the oldest being, and the only sorceress in Krestila appeared in the meeting room.

Sweeping her sharp gaze over everybody until she finally faced the king. 

"Your Majesty." she greeted and took her seat. Her assistant, standing outside the meeting room.

  Grace blushed with anger. "Sorceress Hela, you say the words of the Mighty One are never false, but why haven't we seen a sign? The scripture says we are going to experience five rare phenomenal occuring together at the same time but a century has past now with no sign of it, even the previous Kings and fathers didn't get to witness the arrival of the Halfling, and time is not on our side anymore!

"Are we not also going to witness it? We are not like Dark faes or Demons, we don't possess a longer span of life!                                     And are we just going to wait, until the Dekinans take over our land and wipe us out? " 

Grace was really fuming with anger and wanted them to just understand her and her fears. She is just a mortal, that can die anytime and it always saddens her, cause she actually craved to live long like the Dekinans and Zechashians.

 "Yes Sorceress Hela, we have been waiting all this while. We can't just sit down and do nothing, something must be done!

We shouldn't forget delay is denial, and only the Mighty one knows what the Dekinans are up to. " 

Councilman Robert buttressed Grace's statement and wished they could just understand and agreed to their points.

Councilman Leonard, Liam, and Jeff all nodded, signifying their agreement on Grace and Roberts opinions.

"Nonsense!!!" Hela exclaimed and continued,

"Are you all meaning to say the Mighty One is lying? 

"And who are you to defy Inisa's words?  I can sense this is all a conspiracy, tell us what are your aims?! "  She exhaled and regained her poker expression.

Hela really wanted to smack their mouths for spouting nonsense and defying the Mighty one words. She really didn't pity them for saying those words and believe it all a plan between them. And if not that the meeting place was built to be resistant to magic, she would have read their mind and expose their stupid evil plan.

Leonard sneered.

 "Oh yes! We have an aim Sorceress Hela and that is, we don't want the Dekinans to overthrow us!"

Leonard stood up and stare intently at Hela. He always believed Hela was too arrogant, and thinks she can say anything she likes with no one questioning her, just because she is the oldest being in the land and a Sorceress.

"And am afraid we don't have much time left."

Roberts added with a moody expression.

Hela sessed annoyingly with a hoarse voice. "The words of the Mighty One will come true no matter how long it is, so keep down your nerves before you incur the wrath of the Mighty One...!"

"Oh, don't you try to use the Mighty one to threaten us!" Grace scoffed.

She wasn't afraid of anything and was ready to face it all.

"And what if I?

 Watch your tongue woman, don't forget I can burn you down with just a snap of my fingers!" Hela voiced out in a grim tone. 

Grace snorted coldly!
