It then took to the sky and flapped its wings once more, in just a single flap, it sent us flying to the corner of the cave, again, I looked up and saw the dragon preparing for its final attack,Suddenly, I felt someone’s hand on my shoulder; I turned around to find William staring at me,"Can’t you use it now" he asked,"I haven’t really tried, but maybe if I.....""We will try to by time, I hope you can do it by then, or it will all be over"At that time, the dragon’s mouth was already filled with flames, and it was about to attack, I closed my eyes and began concentrating, it was no small feat, I could feel great pain all round my body, but I couldn’t give up, if I did, it will all be over,Suddenly, I felt it, it was that feeling I always felt, that surge of magical energy, I couldn’t fully gasp it, so i kept on concentrating in other to spread the energy round my body in a constant pattern, but then, the dragon roared,Everyone sacrificed a whole lot of magical energy and erected
"What could be the reason?" I asked, peering deep into his eyes.“He says he wants to get you ready for the journey, everyone else have already set out for the boundary, only the king and a few knight are left" Collins answered."Get him ready, no offense Collins but it’s obvious he wants to take away the scepter" William stated out bluntly."Well I don’t have a say, do I" I said, as I stood up and got ready. i muttered as i stood up and went to the kings chambers,On getting there; I knocked on the door and awaited a reply."Yes, come in" a voice called out.On walking in, I saw the king fully dressed in warrior's armor and ready to set out,"Mister Charles, why don’t you have a sit?" he motioned."Thank you for your kind gesture, your majesty" i replied." We need for the formalities, where is the scepter" he asked. gaiting towards me."Here, your majesty"He collected it and walked around"were you by any chance able to activate its power" he asked."No, your majesty" i replied."A
"Charles! Charles! Charles! Wake up!" opening my eyes I found william knelt down beside me,"Wait.... I didn't...... die" i shuttered."What exactly happened here Charles" Collins asked with a rather vexed tone.I looked to the other side and found him inspecting the table I had dined on with the king,“The king.....he ..... He poisoned me" i answered."What! Why! Why would he do that?" Collins asked as he was utterly devastated."Apparently, he found out who I was, then decided to get rid of me"William stared at me completely short of words."Where is the king?" I asked."He left for the boundary about two hours now" Collins answered as he still looked completely fazed."That long""And for some strange reason, no one is in the palace, the all left for the boundary" William added."What! Then we have to go” i said.As I was about standing up, I heard a voice within myhead"Dad, is that you""It’s me" he answered."What’s wrong?""I feel something strange, but for some reason, am rea
"There is no way we can get there in time" William voiced out."Well, there is nothing we can do; this is the only way to the boundary, isn’t it" I tried to calm him down."No, no, no, no, do you mean, you don’t know about THAT shortcut" William asked,"No, you don’t mean..... THAT" Collins responded.Hearing this, I got quite agitated "what the hell are you two talking about, what is THAT""It’s called the mist canyon, ever heard of it" Collins explained."Hmmm....... mist.... canyon.... hmmmm... seems like..... Hmmm….Nope, never heard of it” I stated out bluntly."What! It took you so long to..... Fine, William will tell you all about it" "Wait! Why do I have to do it" William hesitated.“just do it, I don’t feel like telling any long story" Collins explained to him."Fine, listen closely Charles; I won’t repeat this story, twice" "Alright, alright, say it already" I agreed." on the year 1850, the second day of the fifth month, the day twenty knights suddenly went missing, accordin
"Oh no.... were too late" Collins stammered."Let’s move slowly from here on" I suggested.I felt a very chilling presence; it was the same as what I felt in the underground cellar, no...... This time it was a bit more dense, the whole placed looked like a battlefield, many knights were was laying on the floor, the strangest thing of it all, was, all the knights who were on the ground looked like they had been sucked dry, before being killed, The more we went, the louder the screams we heard,"Something.....Is happening...... something is not right, this feeling, it’s..... Its... dark magic" William stammered,I could clearly hear the deep fright in his voice, it was rather strange, I had never seen William this afraid before.The screams became even louder, I could feel it, that was no ordinary scream, it was scream purely of torture, but why, that was a question that lingered in my mind, but torture someone so greatly, if you’re just going to end up killing them,After a few distanc
The screams alone were enough to make some go insane, but that wasn’t all, those killed by the demon were absorbed to bones, I tried to move, to help them, to stop the scream, or to just ran, but I couldn’t, we just watched helplessly, as we were utterly powerless against,I turned to the other side and found the three kings laying helplessly on the ground, they had been beaten by the demon but for some strange reason he didn’t absorb them,"Guys we can’t just watch, we have to stop that demon" I proposed.William stared at me; his eyes showed a clear definition of fear."What do we do, then?" he asked."We fight; if we die ......... we die""But how, I can’t even move" he explained."Come on, you both just have to find courage, we defeated the three headed dragon back in the cave of doom, and that was because we fought together, so why can’t we do it here""Your right, we have to fight, I still have to save my dad and mom, I can’t let them die in that coffin" William explained."Yea,
“Charles! Charles!" a voice spoke, And then, I woke up "Dad, is that you" "Yes it’s me" he answered."I tried talking to you back at the underground cellar, but you didn’t respond""Yes, I was trying to absorb some more magical energy from my body, in order not to dissipate"“Then…. If that’s so, you can take over my body, and maybe with that, we might have a chanc.....""No" he answered blatantly."No..... but why""for every time I forcefully take over your body, it requires double the effort and magic for a second time, so now, your body have reached a stage, were even with all the magical energy I have amassed, I still wouldn’t be able to take over" he explained.“so, what do we do now...... we have no chance against that demon, it’s just.... too powerful""No ...... stop looking down on yourself, you have more power than you can even imagine"“I tried, I really tried to find it, but I just couldn’t""Believe me; you haven't tried enough, there is no time to explain it to you, you
"The stories told to you humans, about the existence of demon are all false, the truth is, they were proud beings that felt supreme above all others and sorted power to prove it” “Who are they” I asked.“I cannot reveal that for now, once I say the name, I would instantly die” he explained.“Alright then, you may go on”“one day, the humans got feed up, and decided to get rid of them, they then planned an attack, of which the chased all of them far away from the human territory, after this, they were rot with anger and sorted revenge, one day the queen, found a book filled with ancient history and detailed description of the rock of time, called petreken, a rock which was said to have existed before the time of creation”"What, so it does exist, I can’t.... believe this" king trodden said in greatly bewilderment."they sorted for ark of time for it was said to hold the petreken, the only reason the wanted it so badly, was because, it was said to possess so many abilities, especially t
