Zoire walked into Erimense chamber.She could see he had woken up,his back against her.
He finally turned and looked at her.
"What Darl told me,is it true?".
Erimense asked.
Zoire wanted to shake his head to say no,but she only nodded.
"Some of stories are true,but not all of them".
Zoire replied.
Erimense rage grew.
"You never told me any of this mother,why?".
Zoire sighs as she moved closer to him.
"The time is not yet right to tell you Erimense.Dont mind what Darl told you,the essence of it all is to stop you from participating in the duel and new moon festival".
Erimense moved away from Zoire.
"He told me about the beast too,I can't believe you're so cold hearted mother".
Zoire looked at Erimense with a stern face.She slapped Erimense on the face, the force of it is so powerful that it send Erimense on his knees.
"Thanks mother,I don't want to participate in the duel nor the new moon.I'm not a royal blood,I shall take my leave out of the palace".
He said.But he was about to leave, Zoire stopped him in his tracks.
"Listen to me Erimense,I hope that you will understand someday that I'm not doing this because I hated you.But because I'm trying to prepare you for what is coming.I may not know what is coming myself,but all I know is that time is really short.If I really wanted you dead,I would have done it long ago.Come with Erimense,there is something I want to show you".
She turns and walked out of his chamber, Erimense followed like a sixteen year old child.
Zoire took Erimense into the sanctuary.He had never been there before,but he wasn't sure about Darl.Zoire stood before the ancient paintings on the wall ,she took a deep breath and turn to Darl.
"Twenty years ago,in the ages of Darkness,the Dark lord ruled this world.You might wondering who the Dark lord is.The Dark lord is a woman,a very beautiful woman at that.But do not underestimate her,she have the strey of man.She is half woman,half man and half demon.The Cloud City then,served as a refugee camp and a resistance against the Dark lord,Death lord and his armies.The great Flerod led the resistance against the Dark lord, when Death lord her general had been defeated.Great was the power of the Flerod,but as powerful as he was,he couldn't defeat the Dark lord.He managed to to seal her between the realms of Ust,Mond Kyrre.Up till now, nobody knew where Flerod died".
Zoire said.
Erimense took a deep breath,he was feeling uneasy with the story he just heard.
"Mother,are you saying that the ages of darkness will come again?".
He asked.
Zoire nods her head.
"Yes Erimense,but nobody knows how close it is already".
She said,as she walked out of the sanctuary.
Erimense took a step closer,to touch the paintings on the wall.Fear shuddered down his spine.Somehow,the more he looked at the picture,the more fear gripped his bones.
His eyes finally fell on the picture of a goddess.Staring deeply at her,he could also felt that she is also glaring at him.The Dark lord stood on millions of bones and skulls.It was as if heaven had raised hell on earth.
Below the bones and skulls is an intense fire burning.It was as if he could hear the screams,pains and outcry of the people on his head.He felt all the hairs on his body rising, tingling with fear and excitement.Darkness is coming soon.
Moriana went into her brother's room.
"Good morning Garrick".
She said, smiling at him.
"Good morning little moon,how are you today".
He said smiling,as he struggled to get to his feet.
"I'm fine Garrick,....... ...... you're not strong enough mister.You're just recovering".
Moriana protested.
Garrick grunted .
"I will be fine,so don't worry about me".
He watched her,as she prepared his tea.The gem on the necklace fell out from her breast, dangling in the air as it started emitting a low blue light.
Garrick brows furrowed.
"Moriana".
He whispered.
Moriana replied.
"Yes Garrick".
Her attention on the tea,she is preparing.
"The necklace on your neck,where did you get it".
Garrick asked, demanding an urgent answer.
"Oh the necklace, Erimense gave it to me".
She said,as she gave a shrug.
Garrick was full of thought for a while, before the name suddenly registered.
"Shit isn't that the prince".
He asked,not believing his ears.
Moriana couldn't help but smile.
"Are there two Erimense on Cloud City?".
She answered tauntily.
Garrick mouth fell open.
"Did you went to the palace?".
He asked,as he ran his fingers through his hairs.
"No I didn't went to the palace.He met at the fields when I was trying to lift a bag of wheat inside the wagon.He walked up to me and helped me out".
Moriana answered, finally serving him his tea.
Garrick took the cup from the tray,and lift it to his lips.
"I'm sure it is not just a necklace little moon,did he told you what the necklace is used for?".
He asked, before taking a sip.
Moriana sighs and replied.
"He said it is for protection".
She said,as she settled down beside him smiling.
Garrick gave a face before replying.
"I give that Moriana, Erimense is a very good prince.I will like to learn alot from him.So he didn't tell you the motive of giving you the necklace, little moon'.
Moriana looked at his brother,her eyes narrowed.
"No he didn't,he just told me to wear it always"
Garrick gave his sister,a mischievous look.
"I think Erimense is in love with you".
Moriana gasped.
"Erimense, you're flattering me".
She said,as she punch him ay his chest.
"You have a dirty mind Garrick".
She said, blushing.
Garrick couldn't help himself,but burst into laughter .
"Oh really,I didn't know I have become famous for that".
He said,as he struggled to his feet.
"where are you going Garrick". She asked, giving him a questioning look. "You can't get expect me to lie in bed forever I'm a soldier.I have to be healthy,so as to get back to work". He stopped briefly,is lips forming into a wry smile. "And ofcourse dear, walking around is also a form of exercis which can also enhance my quick recovery". He said, limping out of the room. He managed to limped out of his room for he first time,he stopped briefly leaning on the wall.His temples were covered in sweat.The pain was getting unbearable,but it what can he do.He had to continue exercising his leg. After leaning on the wall for a while,he continue his way forward to the living room.His eye's lits up,when he saw his mom. "Good morning mother". Garrick smiled at her, leaning on the door frame before before limping to her. Looking at Garrick,she boomed into smiles. "Good morning dear.......... shouldn't
Molly stood rooted on the spot,her eyes dazed.She didn't see that coming.She started blushing immediately,her dreamy eyes closed.She couldn't believe what had just happened.Darl had just kissed!.Why Molly was still dreaming,she was jolted back to reality by Kara's voice.Lara crossed her heart before Molly."Her majesty has ordered you to keep an eye Darl".She said.Hearing this, Molly's brows crinkled."Where is her majesty".She asked, looking at Kara."Her majesty is having a private u with the councillors".She said, turning to leave quickly.Her Majesty has ordered her to keep an eye Darl,does that means that her majesty had not known that she had been the one aiding Darl in his dirty works,she thought.The thought of having Darl to herself and being the future queen of Cloud City enviloped her mind again."I believe that this city,is history herself a
The impact of this caused a powerful wave, sweeping through the forest destroying everything standing before it, defying space itself.Forming a crater on the ground.Erimense stood still, slowly closing his eyes as if the world had nothing to do with her.He took a deep breath, exhaling slowly walking into the ethereal realm.He slowly opened them.His eyes were glowing in yellow aura's.He had activated the tiger eye technique.He vision became more clearer,he could see through anything in the forest.Erimense gripped his sword, thrusting it into the air charging forward with his qi.His offensive attack only infuriated the beast the more.On the hand, Erimense quickly began his calculations.He could see a tiny blue listening flashing across the claws of the beast.He knew those claws themselves were powerful enough to shatter any normal sword into pieces.Erimense finally swung his sword into the air,his eyes filled with killing intent.A
He continue pacing up and down,deep in his own thoughts.Willy on the other hand who had been performing all sort of stunts with his sword looked at Raissa,he returned his sword into its sheath before walking up to him."Hey Raissa".Willy dropped his hands on Raissa's shoulders.Raissa jilted,he quickly cover up the shock written on his face smiling."Hey how did you know this where I am "..Raissa asked.Willy let out a sigh, before settling down beside Raissa."Raissa,you seems to be very upset.You having pacing up and down for a while now.What making you so upset".Willy asked, dusting his shoes.Raissa fiddled with his armour, trying to put them on."I'm worried about Erimense,he is going to be sparring with Grieg tomorrow.And we all know that even the great general Morris in all his glories won't last long sparing with Greig".He said, looking away.Willy eye's flashed,as he cleared his th

An incredible aura started forming on his palm middle of his palm at an incredible speed, erupted into a black hammer with silver stripings.He quickly took a stance, activating (The eagle sight technique). Suddenly,a votex appeared in the mid air, making a clinging sound.Four beings flew out of the portal, landing on their feet.

The barrier sorrounded them, enclosing them.Alecto closed his eyes as he twisted his hands together, powering the barrier. When the ancient warriors saw this,they walked leisurely towards the barrier holding their swords of flames.The stretched forth their hands together,to break through the barrier with their hands.But as their hands Came in contact with the barrier,it began making a sizzling sound their hands started burning.The contact send them off their feet, tossing them in the air like uprooted weeds.But too Alecto's suprise,they landed on their feet gently.Before surging to the barrier again, studying what the barrier is made of.

The soldiers of Cloud city,fell on their knees, their right hands on their chest as soon as the queen approaches.Zoire walks majestically,as the trail of her gown seems to move endlessly at her back.The gown is made with pure gold, with the breast plate designed with a bronze metal, that pressed her breast tightly to her chest.A liquid silk, covering her shoulders to the wrist of her hands.Her gray hairs, were graciously tucked in behind her ears,down to her waist.Leaving some strands of hairs dangling in front of her face.Her hairs seems to glitter in silver,as the rays of the sun shine on them.Her eyes, were transculent sea blue.As her pupils dilated into little green in them.She had a pointed nose,and a plump lips.Indeed,the queen looked like a goddess as everything seems to fit well in her perfect face, except for gir the betrayal of her gray hairs which shows that she had aged gracefully.Behind her, followed the two princes of Clo
She said,as she stretched her hands forward,a bluish energy gathered into her hands.Six feet from where Darl was standing ,Darl gasped,his two hands around his neck as his eyes widens in shock."Please mother".He managed to force the words out.Immediately,Zoire brought down his hands,the purple flames glowing in her hands were all gone.Darl fell on the ground, gasping for breath to feed his hungry lungs, coughing, ears ringing.He was bleeding from the ears, eyes,nose and mouth."Thanks mother".He said."Don't dare disrespect me again Darl.I am your mother,I birthed you and I'm still the queen of Cloud city".She said,as she sat on her golden couch again."Yes mother".Darl said,as she struggled to his feet."Now,get out of my sight".She said,in a chilling tone.Darl kowtowed,and turned to leave..................................................."Have it Erimense".

A terrible wind began,it was accompanied with thundering and lightening in the sky.All gazes turned towards Erimense lifeless body,they were shocked at what they saw. Erimense body had absorbed all the blood on the floor,back into his body.The ripped heart had began healing instantly. Darl gasped at what he was seeing. "No,it can't be possible". He whispered. Erimense body was lifted into the air.They all watched,as Erimense eyes closed, only to open again in fury. Landed on the ground with an unknown force, along with a threatening sounds tearing through the heavens.The impact at which he landed, created an heavy crater on the ground, turning the garden into a desert. Fear gripped Darl,he recognized those vicious smiles .He knew it only meant a word "Death".Seeing Erimense body he had killed a while ago,come back to life scares him the most.He knew he should run,but his legs were not following his orders they were only shaking
"Son of many fathers".He cursed and continue"You're so use to royalties, that you find it difficult to leave at your own expense"His mouth twitched."Leave me alone Darl,I need to think".Erimense replied,his voice sounding so suddenly weak.Darl glared at Erimense."And if I don't wanna leave, what are you going to do huh".He said, taunting Erimense.Erimense was glaring at Darl, flaring up,a form of energy forming in his hands."I am trying to control myself Darl, leave me alone".Hearing this, Darl gave out a loud laugh, with the voice sounding from the deepest part of hell."Let me tell you Erimense, you have always been a coward, lazy and selfish brat.If you really want me to leave,get up and fight with me Erimense".He said,as he send a powerful kick, hitting Erimense at his chest.The intensity of the kick was so powerful, that Erimense flew backwards, crashing agai
