The following day, King Cyrus woke up early to prepare breakfast. He was reluctant to hire a servant that would handle his food, ever since his previous cook had carelessly left a pot opened and he found flies having a feast on what was supposed to be his supper.

There was a bath in each bedroom, all the king's guests did not have to take turns when bathing. They all sat in the dining room, while King Cyrus served them yeast bread, cheese as well as eggs and coffee.

"Father, we have to see Alex before he leaves. He has to know that we really do care about him" Said Carmen.

King Cyrus nodded. King Stephen was still slightly irritable but he did not want to lose his wife. Therefore supported her decisions.

"Brother I shall have to inform you that I have some business to attend in Aota right away. I will not be able to come with you." said Nicholas.

"Alright then. Travel safe."

"Thank you."

Nicholas took a horse and rushed to Aota. He already had a plan in mind about how he would

    A small cabin in the middle of the woods. Where a well known prophetess lived, who also happened to be his sister. Gideon did not even knock on the door as his sister was standing there. "Rita,please help me."he said. The prophetess made a way to let his brother through. Rita was often mistaken for a witch as she loved to wear long black dresses, black eye shadow, black lipstick, black bangles as well as black long hair. "Put him on the flat ground." Rita commanded. Gideon did as he was told. Rita opened one of her kitchen drawers, then grabbed a bottle of medicine and returned back to where Alex was. "This medicine will help ease your pain." Said Rita, pouring the medicine inside Alex's mouth. In response, he moaned in pain. "You are hurting him!" Gideon shouted. "No, I am healing him." "But why is he screaming in pain?""The medicine does that. But after a few minutes,he won't feel anymore pain." Said Rita. Indeed after only two minutes Alex stopped moaning, he eased dow

    When morning arrived, David and his colleagues went on to search for Alex. They looked for him in many of the lodges in Noracia but still could not find him. David returned back to his home disappointed. "Where could he be?" Emily wondered. She then wrote a letter to Carmen informing her that she did not know where Alex was and that he never arrived at their home. Gideon was in the food market when he heard rumours about the search for Alex by David. He immediately went to his sister's house and reported the matter to Alex. "Carmen must have told them I came here, she's worried about me." Said Alex, even though he was sad, he had a tint of joy in his heart. "Yes indeed she is. She is not as friendly as she used to be. She's more angry than happy. And in some days, she is friendly and happy." "Oh no. And how is the King taking this?" "He doesn't complain it much. However I once heard him speak to the Queen about it. They seemed happy the following day." "She probably lied to hi

    A knock came again. Alex got off the Queen immediately and began to put his clothes back on. "Here,hurry!" He said.Throwing Carmen her clothes to wear. She rolled her eyes, irritated. And began to dress. "Who is it?" She asked. "Emily." A voice said."How did she know I was here?" Carmen wondered. Carmen opened the door. Alex sat on the bed with a pillow covering his erected dick which seemed to take longer than usual to rest. "Come in." Said Carmen. Emily entered. "Oh Alex you truly are alive. We've been so worried." She said rushing to give Alex a hug. "I have missed you too Aunt." Said Alex, keeping his stands on the pillow still. He was not about to reveal his shame. "How did you know I was staying here?" Alex asked "David and I had been searching for you. One of his friends arrived at our home and told us they saw you come here. The cook also indicated that you were in this room " "No one should ever know that I am alive. As someone did want me dead." "But who?" "I

    "The Queen is going to be horrified." Said the King. "Yes. But you know. Life has its ups and downs." "Tell me.. did you by any chance have a hand in the attack on Alex?" The King asked. "Brother.. you know me." "No Nicholas,I feel like I don't know you at all." "My Lord I did not kill Alex." Said Nicholas. "Did you then, send those men to do it down you?" "How could I my Lord. You told me you change your mind, that you don't want Alex killed anymore." Carmen showed up suddenly. "You wanted Alex killed?" She asked. "My Queen." Said the King, standing up from his chair, startled. "Excuse me my Lord." Said Nicholas,standing up to leave. "Sit down! You are not escaping this one." The Queen commanded"That was before. But I changed my mind. Please believe me. I had nothing to do with Alex's death." Said the King. Carmen who already knew that Alex was alive had to pretend to be angry. But that came easy as she had just found out that the King had plotted against him before. "H

    The following morning. Carmen took an early bath then rode to Kineti. She found her father preparing breakfast. She exchanged greetings and hugs with him. "Have you come this early to see how Alex was doing it to see your father?" The King asked,with an amused look on his face. "I came to see you both.""Alex is asleep for now." "Then I will speak with you. Yesterday I overheard a conversation between King Stephen and Nicholas. Father they do believe Alex is dead. And that was thanks to Gideon. However I heard something else. King Stephen plotted against Alex before but changed his mind. But his brother I think continue with the attack. He even lied to my husband and told him I asked him to take Alex with a ship to Noracia. But the King knows the truth now." Carmen explained. "King Stephen will have to make the most difficult decision he has ever made in his life. Exercute his own brother." "The law is the law. Every killer must get exercuted. But I doubt he will do that.

    Meanwhile in Aota, Nicholas walked like a man who had lost everything, he lifted his feet heavily and went to the palace kitchen, where he knew he would find Lilly. "I've been waiting for your arrival, tea?" Said the cook. Nicholas nodded. Lilly took two cups and filled them with cold water as well as teabags and sugar. Then she placed on the working table close enough to allow Nicholas to see. "Take a sit." She said. "There is no sit." Lilly lifted her right hand and pulled a chair from the dining room without having physical contact with it. Yellow light came out from her hands as she did so. The chair finally entered the kitchen. Nicholas sat. "How do you do that? I really want to learn that." He said. "Do you choose to be content,or do you choose to be ambitious?" "I choose to be ambitious. I can make a better King than my brother!" Lilly smiled. "Then hold my hand." She commanded. Nicholas did so. A swirl of dust formed on the ground, Lilly uttered some word's, the

The following morning, Nicholas went to the palace King Stephen showed him the letters he had received the previous day. "Has anyone tried to capture the creature?" Nicholas asked. "No they are too afraid to even try." "Does it have long fangs and yellow eyes?" "As I said before they did not see the creature well. As they feared to move closer to it. " "The decrease in livestock will destroy our economy. Many farmers will be jobless. We cannot let this continue." Said Nicholas. "You are correct.

"Grab the body and prepare a burial for this man " the King commanded. "What about his family my Lord?" Carmen asked. The King commanded the remaining warrior's to inform Gideon's family of his passing and how he died. But those that knew him, did not find his family in all of Aota. "Then a burial will be done for him here at the palace." Said the King. Carmen knew the one person who was close to Gideon, who knew exactly where he had hidden his family. It was Alex. "Do not bury the man yet, I will bring his family tomorrow." Said Carmen. "But how? You did not even know Gideon that well, let alone his family!" Said the King. "But I know someone who does." "Who?"

    Carmen organised a chariot, they both left for Gishon to see father Jonathan at the Zion church. When they arrived, the Archbishop welcomed both of them. There was no congregant fortunately. "Father,I brought with me a guest. A desperate advisor from the house of Kish. She wants to help." Said the Queen. "I know who she is. Ingrid, the first woman in Noracia, who even as the circumstances did not favor her managed to become the first female advisor in Noracia. I know her history." "I am humbled. I did not know that I was known here " said Ingrid. "Ingrid would like to assist us with what we need, whether it be funding, whether it be creating more crossbows,she earnestly hopes to destroy Shiandra too." "I hear you well, but where is prince Uzriel. He needs to also be a part of us." Said the Archbishop"Prince Uzriel will not be joining us as I placed him in a safe place, a ship beneath the water. He can only come out when the war is over. As he and princess Ashah who unfortunately

    Meanwhile Shiandra was at Noracia, in the form of Prince Uzriel. She had been observing the prince's movement's and noticed that he spend most of his time in his Science room, researching. She saw the greatest opportunity for immitating him. "Ingrid, I will be in the science room for some time. I would to show you what I have found. That is if you are not occupied." Said the prince. "I would be glad to. We can go." Ingrid and the prince went to the science room together. While Shiandra transformed into what looked like the prince himself. She commanded two of the warrior's that were standing guard at the palace gate to bring all the warrior's to the training ground as she wanted to speak to all of them."Men and women I come to you as your prince. And I asked that you take heed to my word's as what I have to say will be of great significance to all of you."said Shiandra.

"Nicholas is our enemy, he works with Shiandra. He has to die." "Then hire a warrior. You have not killed a man in your life. Of you do this then you will have to live with it." "Father,I am well aware of the consequences that I will have to face for this. I know that killing a man is not the ideal thing to do. I also know that I will not hire anyone because I am not a normal simple being,I am a hybrid and I never miss my prey." Said the Queen. King Cyrus gave his daughter a warm hug. "I believe in you my child. Make sure you do not die." He said. Carmen simply smiled. She took a horse and rode to Aota. Killing Nicholas would have to be done during the day as vampire's were more vulnerable during the day than at night. Besides Nicholas was not even that strong as he was not feeding on human blood. Killing him with one strike t

Carla was not present at the meeting this time,however Theresa was. "We are gathered here tonight to speak about what we discovered in ishrat." Said the Archbishop. "Does Ishrat have demon's as well as hot lava?" Carmen asked. "It is the most ugliest place to be in. It does not have lava just red ugly soil." Said Kira. "Theresa advised us to rest, we did as she said. We then attacked Shiandra's vampire's unexpectedly unfortunately some managed to escape while most if them died." "What about Shiandra?" King Cyrus asked. "She was not in Ishrat. It was as if she knew we were coming " said Rita. "Are you saying that we might have someone helping her?" Carmen asked. "It is possible" said father Jonathan"I have been keeping an eye out on Shiandra's since we last attacked her children. Last night I saw King Nicholas carrying a human head, then en

    The following morning Ingrid went to Princess Ashah's room only to find her body there laying on the ground with no head. She screamed. Prince Uzriel ran to her. “What is going on, why are you screaming?” He asked. Ingrid pointed to the ground, Prince Uzriel entered the room and moved closer till he saw a body on the ground. He covered his mouth in shock when he realised it was his sister. “No no!” he shouted. The prince knelt to the ground and began to weep. “Who did this?” He shouted. “I do not know, I found her in that condition when I entered just now.I will tell the guards to look around for any clues that the killer might have left.” said Ingrid, running out of the room. Prince Uzriel covered his sister’s body with a sheet then left the room. “Where are you going?” Ingrid asked. “The people need to know that their princess has been killed.” Said the prince. “I will send out letters to the royal families from the other countries that surround us.” said Ingrid.

    Meanwhile Carmen was in the office working herself tiressly. Shiandra came to her in the form of Creselda, while the real Creselda was in her room sleeping from the witch's spell. "My lady I know that I'm only just a cook here but can you please tell me about the school you are building." Said Creselda's lookalike. The Queen smiled. She was glad to see a servant showing interest in the school. "Take a seat." She said. Creselda pulled a chair and sat."What you need to know about the school is written on that paper." Said the Queen, giving Creselda an A4 paper with writings on it. "Is it truly possible that when I finish my studies I will get employment in positions that only men used to occupy?" "Yes it is possible. This is something I longed for many years ago." "Is it also possible that I can become a female warrior as well?" Creselda asked,looking intensely at the Queen. "You can become what you want. The laws are gradually changing, soon enough we will be a free country l

    Meanwhile in Ishrat. "Is there any water here for us to bath?" Kira asked. "I don't know. I haven't really walked that long to see any water and I don't think it would be wise to use the water here." Said Carla. Theresa entered the room, the prophet's were all awake, but still laying in their beds. "There won't be any bathing until you leave Ishrat. The water here is poisonous and it's filled with evil. Drinking the water,is inviting demon's into your body. You will hear evil voices commanding you to do as they wish." Said Theresa. The prophet's began to whisper. "Is it safe for us to go to Shiandra's cave now?" The Archbishop asked. "They are tired during this time. They are stronger in the night time. We can go." Said Theresa. "She is telling the truth. Vampire's are weak during the day but strong during the night time. We might be able to defeat them." Said Carla. "Then we leave now." Said Father Jonathan waking up from his bed.

    Early in the morning Carmen took a horse and returned to Aota. It was a sunny Saturday morning and Alex had been waiting for the Queen to arrive. And when she entered the palace, he quickly ran to her from the sitting room where he had been waiting. "I thought I smelt you." Said Carmen. "You smelt me?" "I meant,I thought I heard you. Well I was hoping to you but I did not expect to see you this early." The Queen felt uncomfortable about telling people the things she felt and could hear from a distance. She was afterall the child of a hybrid. She knew much would be expected from her."We never speak as much as we used to." Said Alex with a frown on his face. "We never seem to rest. Our tasks never seem to end. But I am glad that you came. Your presence will always be appreciated." Alex smiled. "I'm very humbled to hear those words. I know that I may be just a friend but I wondered if you could be able to join me on my fishing activity. You won't have to hunt for any fish, I will
