On reaching the palace there was a terrible earthquake; the quake was so severe that no one was left standing,
As it ended, arson quickly got up and ran to the palace guard who was also affected by the quake,After speaking with the guard for a while, he was allowed to proceed further into the palace; he then dashed in without a second thought.On his arrival, he met the king in a rather foul mood as he was still in a meeting.The king seeing him immediately instructed a guard to take him to the dungeon, to be punished for not seeking proper permission before coming in, but then, he cried out informing the king of his reason.On hearing this, the king raised his hands signaling the guard to retreat, he then asked him to explain.Arson at that moment began revealing the details of the prophecy to everyone sited there, on hearing this, a great silent swept through the palace, they were all left speechless.But then, the king's advisor, madrick, pointed out the severity of the issue, and how great the problem will grow if nothing was done.On that note, the all began suggesting counter measures to the king. It was a well drawn out issue, with a load of argument, but at the very end, the king sent out three sealed scrolls, containing detains of the prophecy to the other kings, and also inviting them for a banquet.King Rolland sent out scrolls to the three kings, containing the details of the prophecy, and also an invite to his kingdom for a meeting, he disguised the meeting in the form of a banquet, to avoid any suspicions from the public.Attending the banquet was strictly on invitation, so as to limit the number of people on attendance, but even at that, there was an enormous turn out.The banquet lasted for three days, but on the third day, the three kings were led into a private room for the meeting,As the meeting began, king Lancelot explained the entire situation to the other kings, but then, king Gaston interrupted him as he inquired on the authenticity of the information. King Rolland hesitated to reveal it, but he assured them, that it was of a credible source, he then continued his explanation.After speaking, the whole room went silent, no one knew what other solution they had left, it was clear, the only way to stop the prophecy from coming to pass, was to find the king's scepter, and reseal the barrier before it even broke. But it wasn’t as easy as it sounded.Before King Rolland died, he journeyed deep into the forest of torture, and there he created the cave of doom, of which trials and death lingers on every corner, all this was done, to prevent the scepter from falling into the hands of the unworthy.The next day, fliers were posted round for all the young men of the kingdom to assemble at a certain location for a sudden announcement by the king,There it all started,I had just arrived in the capital and was planning to find accommodation, when I saw the flier, I then decided to attend and Hear what the king had to say,On reaching there, I saw an enormous crowd, it was quite difficult to get through, and in the process, I heard a voice."Young men of this prosperous kingdom" the king shouted with an outstandingly audible voice as he walked onto the stage,"There is disturbing news going round the kingdom, so I am here to personally clarify it....... the sorcerer ephron, who is now late. Dedicated herself to solving the mystery of the prophecy, and after so long, she was finally able to find meaning to it, but it turned out to be very disturbing, she confirmed that on the day of the blood moon, the barrier at boundary would be broken"On hearing this, there was a great commotion.
I had just finished sword practice for the day and was heading home.On reaching my house, I was completely lost at the sight that welcomed me, The whole place was on fire, the flames blazed through the windows, doors and everywhere in and around the house.Without thinking, I immediately rushed in through the door that had already been blown open by the flames,"Mom! Mom!" I screamed in panic running around the house, there was nothing left to see but flame, the smoke were so dense to the point that I had difficulty in breathing,As I ran around the house helplessly, I suddenly stepped on something, on noticing it, I took a step backward and looked to see what it was, to my surprise, it was mom.Seeing her all raddled up, I immediately bent down and lifted her up by resting her back on my arm,"mom! Wake up, please....... wake up!" I pleaded.She then opened her eyes and spoke "Charles, is that you" "Yes, it's me" I replied."I need to tell you something....ugu ugu ugu (coughing) you
"Wow, and I thought I had it rough….well, at the very least were in the same boat” he asserted. "Yea, your right" I answered, robbing my finger against my ring. “Oh, that’s right; I forgot to ask for your name" he asked. wearing an obvious smile. “It’s Charles and you" i replied. He pointed his index finger to his face “It’s William" The room was a small compact place, it looked as though it was built without proper planning, a little stool was placed at the corner of the room facing the door, and a mini table was placed at the center, “That’s right, how were you able to make such amount of money in such a short time?" he asked with a sudden kin interest, It was at that moment I realized; he was an insanely curious person. "Well, I did tell you about the ring I was given" "Yea, you did" he replied looking excited, "Apparently it was a spatial ring; it contained a lot of gold coins and also a strange sword" “strange, and what do you mean by that" "Well, for some reason I ca
On entering the forest, a thick gray fog engulfed me in whole, I couldn't see or hear a thing, the whole place was a bit dark as the sun ray was barely able to illuminate through the thick dark fog. in that situation, the only thing I could do, was run,After a long period of continuous running, I heaved a sigh of relief as I saw a light straight ahead, I continued running towards the direction of the light, until I finally escaped the fog, As I escaped the fog, I turned around but found no one, even the fog was nowhere to be found, the only thing I saw were enormous trees and over grown bushes, my limbs felt like they would fall off, but I just couldn't stop there, I had to keep running to ensure survival.On reaching a certain part of the forest, I stopped as I encountered a strange sound; the sound seemed to echo all over the forest, so I couldn't locate its source.Sudden, a strange creature came out from within the bushes, it had two horns and its fangs were extremely huge, its
The moment he struck me, memories of my life flashed pass my eyes, I became even more determined to find the truth, but at this rate, it was all over.I fell to the ground and slowly lost consciousness, my eyes became deem and I lost all my strength, the only thing I could see, was the red eyes of the ogre, till it all faded into darkness."Waahhh!" I screamed, as I sat up,I looked around and found all the summoned ogres lying around lifelessly, I then turned to my side and found the ogre dead.I immediately stood up completely astonished by what I had just seen, to my greatest surprise, I discovered that I was holding the sword which I couldn't originally pull out of its scabbard,A strange feel of energy coursed round my body, it was like nothing I have ever felt before, I felt so...... powerful.The event that had transpired while I was unconscious was a mystery to me, there was no trace of injuries on my body, it was rather strange, in a short while, I continued my journey into t
I barely managed to crawl out of the cottage; the pain I felt was really intense."I saw how you killed that ogre; you won't be getting beyond this point" he added as he stepped forward.."What! I... I ..... Killed it" i stuttered. "Oh please, drop the act, your life ends here"Suddenly, the other fingers also transformed to claws, and then he attacked me,"Zzuupp! Zzuupp!" the claws went straight for my neck.I managed to evade some of the attacks with my sword, but the final strike was so fast that I couldn't react to it, it then sunk its claw through my chest,After that, the beast attempted to deal a final blow, realizing this, I immediately reached for my dagger which was strapped to my leg and stabbed it in the eye,"Ahhh!" the beast screamed out in pain.Without a single second to waste, I ceased the opportunity, got up and made a run for it.I ran into the forest in so much pain and nothing but a single thought in mind, survival,After covering some distance I stopped on noti
There it stood as it stared fear right into us, it had three heads, and on each were four eyes, it possessed four arms, the size of full grown man, and its claws were as sharp as that of any other."What the hell is that?" Claxton shouted out completely horrified."Calm down everyone, it's a mutated beast, if we work together we just might be able to stop it without much effort" Prince Collins proposed."Yea, his right, maybe we can beat this thing" Fred agreed.Suddenly everyone became motivated, we then attacked it, I fought with all the magic I had left, attacking it with series of multiple magic spells , we continued attacking it until it had weakened a great deal,In that moment Prince Collin tilted his sword in a very odd manner and chanted "sword magic; shattering wing"In a flash, he appeared behind the beast and off went one of its head, Everyone froze in shock, at the magnitude of power he possessed, I turned then around and found William with a very fierce look on his face,
than a cave to us."Step forward all those that are willing to continue" the old man repeated,Claxton then stepped forward "sir, I have a question""You may ask whatever you wish to ask, but I will only answer only those I am at liberty to answer""How do I get off this hellish forest, I am done risking my life for that scepter" he stated, blatantly.The old man then looked up slightly "That is impossible, young lad" "And why is that?" he asked."The moment someone steps into the forest of torture, he or she is marked with a curse of which that person will roams this forest until a certain condition is met""Isn't there a way to stop the curse" Claxton further inquired."The curse is dispelled only when the scepter is found""This can't be, no...Noooooo!" he suddenly scream out,Hearing this, everyone was lost for words. and then i realized it,This was the real reason why I always ended up in the hearth of the forest, no matter what I did.The old man then turn toward us, "You all h
