Chapter 35: The fallen kingdom
3 hours passed and the people still in shock and disbelieve that the kindom of Ignisia has fallen, smoke and rubles fill the hole area , the castle has been destroyed and many casualties have been found , the castle guards , royal nurses and servants some have survived but all were injured except for the kings and queen...They survived due to Gambit effort to shield them all .
King Arin and the other rulers have gathered around for a meeting .
King Arin: The Luminary has declared war on this kingdom and whatever we are fighting is within this kindom ...I have to move my people away from this fight.
Queen Calantha raises her hand to speak" Bring your people to my kindom, they will be safe there"
King Ryker: You cannot evacuate 100 000+ people in the middle of war...they will get wiped out, i suggest we devide them to decrease their number...that way they will be easy to protect.
King Arin: Thank you and now for the plan...
Underneath the castle...
Oarkborn sits down after using alort of his energy to shield himself and Mole" Mole!! are you oky boy." He stares down where Mole is sitting.
Mole: Yes , i am fine... Your strong .
Oarkborn: Takes years of training to achieve such feet.
Mole: So how do we leave this place, the entrance is closed it might be hard for you to get through...
While Mole talk he hears a sound from the otherside of collapsed door " Huh whats that sound...its sounds like packing." And suddenly from a tiny hole that on the ruble entrance a head pops out ,Mole screams in shock "yaahhh" only to find that its only Terri. " Terriii!! , how did you get here." Mole hugs her.
Oarkborn: Is that what i thing it is?
Mole : Terri meet Oarkguy, Oarkguy meet Terri , shes my friend.
Oarkborn: my name is not Oarkguy, lets just get out of hear
While Mole struggles to pull Terri inside, Oarkborn shrink himself to an average human size and goes to help Mole, Oarkborn grabs Terri by the neck" lets try to be quick about it." Mole looks at Oarkborn born then goes back to pulling , a second a later he realizes that Oarkborn has shrunk. " Aaaahhh what happened to you? " Mole ask Oarkborn, then they pull Terri in and also creating an exit" I shrunk myself."
Mole : You can do that ?
Oarkborn: Yes we can , your mother did this her hole life , even though its a difficult technique she was able to do it almost her hole life.
Mole: wow thats amazing, your really cool.
Oarkborn and Mole start digging out the hole that was made by Terri so that can fit through in order to get out of that place...
On once was a river ( River of Eldred) Lloyd and Shawn walk , whats on their mind is massage from Zephr , not knowing what but keep moving by the side of the river " Lloyd lets stop here for a few and rest." Lloyd and Shawn sit under a tree to get some shade and escape the suns heat waves ." We should probably hunt for food, fishing is out of the question. "
Lloyd: All of this exercising is killing me ,i cant move anymore.
And suddenly Zephyr appears from behind "I went back and got you something to eat on your way to Aquarian. "Lloyd and Shawn shocked from his sudden appearance . " Your gonna give us a heart attack, dont do that." Lloyd speaks in a loud voice of penic.
Shawn: Why are we going to Aquaria anyway?
Zephyr: Ignisia is at war , and if you are there you might get killed.
Shawn: huh... The war hasn't started yet , we saw the castle get attacked from far but that was only a declaration.
Zephyr: Yes , your right ... the real reason is Lloyd ...Lloyd must not be captured by the enermys hand .
Shawn: Oooh , I remember mother saying the same thing...Im aware of what Lloyd has .
Zephyr bring out the food he brought " For now will hide in Aquaria . "
Somewhere in the desert in Aerthys ( Adhering Desert )Aria and Zeke are walking , wearing gowns that cover their heads ." Why did you do this?" Zeke ask Aria . But Aria ignores him and continues to look straight ahead but Zeke keeps asking her " Listen hear child , I did this because i felt like it ...so dont ask me why." Zeke looks down as he continues to walk " get down!!" Aria pulls Zeke down to blend in with the sand , " Make sure you hide your energy " then a few second later a yellow light pass on top of them , heading to the direction their coming from. " (sigh) they didn't see us , lets keep moving ." They both stand up and start walking " ( I cant let them have this kid, hes too important)"
News about the distraction of Ignisia spread all over Aerthys like wild fire bring shock to the people for it is believed to be the strongest kindom and now it has been destroyed. " Uncle ...Uncle , did you read the news paper? Did you?" A child runs to his elder " I have not my child , give it ." The news brought shock to every eye that reads the news papers " what will become of the people of Ignisia now?" The old man ask himself.
4 days later ...
In the desert of Adhering "if we Pass through this desert will reach their base." Orion commands hes four man... Marvellous, Lyra , Bongani and Gomez
" Our objective is to rescue the Blackwood child and do it more swiftly. " as they advance forward a they come across 5 Luminari members " Orion of Ignisia, what bring you here ?" Orion faces them headon " I came here for Blackwood Zeke, give us back the child and no trouble will come to you." One member of the Luminari group takes his hoody off and speaks " Im the leader of this party , I've been charged to look for an escapee by the name of Blackwood Zeke." Orion wondering whats going in but as he is lost in thought One of the Luminari members attack him but Marvellous with his quick reaction he blocks the coming attack on Orion
Marvellous: If you touch him i will end you , right now!!
The Luminari member backs away , then they all turn back " Am sure i will be seeing you in the coming months." the Luminari walks away ...Then Marvellous ask Orion " Do you think they were telling the truth?."
Orion: Im not sure , but what im sure about is that Zeke was kept a secrete and now even low seaters at the Luminari know his missing, I think he was not lying...For now lets go back to our campsite and gather our thoughts.
In the Greenlands...
Mole : This is the place where i found Terri.
Oarkborn: I think think this place can do very nice
Mole : Why did we have run away from Ignisia? And why didn't we go to Thorn village?
Oarkborn: Your brothers, You and The Blackwood clan are in danger.
Mole: Danger??(wondering why)
Oarkborn: You will be hunted by a colt called the Luminari aswell as the Blackwood clan.
Mole: Why though?? What do they want from us?
Oarkborn: The Luminari are trying to free a dangerous being called Theodoros sealed away for thousands years, It was believed that the blood of his bloodline can free him but a few days ago the Luminari found a clutch to that seal , and that clutch is the Blackwood clan member ...So we must take you as far as possible and keep you away from them.
Mole: I dont know who are you trying to protect, im strong i can take them.
Oarkborn: Dont be stupid Mole!! This cult has existed for more than 800 years now , they are very powerful ...You wont take them down alone.
Mole: Can i ask you this?
Oarkborn : Yes ask.
Mole : How am i supposed to be the strongest if i cant fight the strong?
Oarkborn : Your too young to be facing a force that powerful Mole... Grow and your strength will grow with you , if you want to be the strongest have a bit of timing .
Mole: This is not fun at all , I have not had an adventure, this was my big break
Oarkborn looks at him and Loughes " Haahuuhaaa, you carry your fathers spirit , Let me train you ...then you will see why you needed to wait "
Mole looks at Oarkborn with excitement and smiles " Terri stop pulling my hair!!." The Terragrim pulls Moles hair in excitement.
Through the woods a speedy horse ride passes through a number of trees then suddenly a vision comes to mind . A human like shadows on its knees looking at a number of other shadow with weapons facing it , then the shadow speak but the words are not clear and his voice doesnt reach the ears of the visionary. " What was that , she as herself " then as she rides we see that its ower own blind lady sent by Thorn Burnham arriving at once was a beautiful land but its now destroyed ...Ignisia.
To be continue...
