Shiandra wanted to send a message first. She turned back into a fly in order to leave the room undetected. She then turned herself to look like Prince Uzriel. He commanded four warrior's to meet her in one of the bedrooms in the palace as it was urgent. The warrior's did so. When they entered the room, she bit each of them and turned them into vampire's. She then made a swirl on the ground and entered inside it. The four warrior's were Simon, David, Daniel and Hagad. Princess Ashah at the time was in her room, while Ingrid was in her office with Prince Uzriel. Princess Ashah opened her room when suddenly she saw four of her warrior's covered in blood. And their eyes yellow. She locked her room. Fortunately she had a collection of sword she had place neatly in her closet she took one sword then opened her bedroom door. The vampire's were still too weak to run,but they walked towards her direction. She beheaded all of them with that one sword then screamed after. "Is that.." said Pr
T“What a brother I have. He is forever kind and helpful. I should give him a present to thank him one day.” said Stephen. Suddenly a knock came on the door. Stephen was convinced that it was King Nicholas. “Come in.” he said, freely. “Greetings my king.” said a woman’s voice. Stephen turned his gaze to the door, startled. “Who are you?” he asked. The woman entered. She had a white robe that covered her face. She then removed it and moved closer to Stephen. “The question should be asking is who are you?” said the woman. “I will take a sword and…” The woman interrupted. “And do what, kill me?” The woman laughed.“i will ask you again who are you?” “My name is Theresa. I come from a world unknown by you but I know a lot about you. I know you wish to know how your life turned into what it is today. I know that you wish to get your wife back and be happy again. I know that Aota is under attack and I know you need my help and I can help you. But I want you to help me too.” “You sa
The sun finally disappeared and the moonlights shined. Carmen wore a black bodicon dress with a shiny waist belt. She had her hair tied to the back. She finished the look with a dark brown lipstick. While she was admiring her beauty on a mirrior, a knock came to her door. "Come in." She said. "You look.." Alex could not finish his sentence. "Ready for the feast?" The Queen asked. "Yes. The chariot is already here." "I love your blazer. It looks really good on you." Said Carmen. Alex blushed. "I heard that the Noracians liked white,hence I chose it." He said. "Well you have a good taste. The ladies will be all over you this evening." Carmen teased. Alex chuckled. "They will be wasting their own time." He said. "I want you to be happy. At least take one woman then." The Queen pleaded. "Not a chance." Carmen did not want to take the conversation further. She knew that it would end in sorrowful faces and regret. She kept her silence until they arrived at the house of kish
Princess Ashah had already prepared for them, since it was late. Carmen found it hard to fall asleep,Alex found it hard to fall asleep as well. He just laid on the bed and stared at ceiling,until he heard a knock on his door. He opened and saw that it was Carmen. He locked the door as soon as the Queen had entered his room. "You can't sleep too?" Alex asked. Carmen nodded. "I'll make us tea then." Said Alex. The room was big in size. Two chairs, a king sized bed. A cabinet with a stove as well as cutlery and crockery were all in there,arranged neatly. Alex went to the kitchen and managed to find the teabags,sugar pot as well as milk and bread. He quickly grabbed them and went to his room. "Did anyone see you?" Carmen asked. "No no one did. They are all asleep." Said Alex. But he was wrong. Nicholas was not asleep. He was wide awake. He heard everything but that was not important to him. His mind and thought were somewhere else, he wondered where Stephen had disappeared to. Su
The following day, Nicholas rode to Noracia as if he were a normal human, then arrived at Michael Harmon's mansion which was built at the top of the mountains. The King had received directions from all the people he came across but only those who favoured him and those who hated him, spit to the ground and walked off. He was mostly offended but did not slaughter even one of them. One of the maid's stood at the door to see who was approaching. The name of the maid was Hilda, she had grey hair on some parts of her hair, her body was lean and she was short in height. She looked seventy in Nicholas's eyes but she was only Sixty two years old. The woman bowed as she saw that it was King Nicholas who was now standing in front of her. "My Lord." She said in a trembling voice. "Where is the owner of this house?" Nicholas asked. "He is inside my Lord. I shall call him right away.""No! That will not be necessary. I would like you to lead me to him." The King commanded. "Yes my Lord." Sai
Early in the morning Alex began his training in Noracia. There were about fifty women present on the training ground. Princess Ashah as well as Ingrid watched from a distance. "Do you think he will be able to handle training our women as well as training the men in Aota?" Ingrid asked. "Yes he will." "You sound very sure of him. What if he can not cope?" "He will cope. He has trained over four hundred men in both Kineti as well as Aota. A man with such a record is able to do anything." Said the princess. "Tell me something. Whatever happened to you that day when our guests were supposedly leaving. You disappeared." "We have many guests that come here. Which ones are you referring to?" The princess asked, as if she did not know who Ingrid was speaking of. "King Nicholas and Queen Carmen." "I wanted to lay down a bit as I was still tired." "That is not like you. Usually when you wake up early in the morning,you bath and never return back to bed."said Ingrid, staring intensely
"We need to go to Aota." Said Carla. "And fast." "I could run all the way there" "Alone?" "Grab me from behind " said Carla. Rita wrapped her arms around Carla's waist very tightly . "Don't let go."said Carla. She then ran at an incredible speed until she could arrive at the Oak forest. A cold breeze touched their face. Leaves began to form a horizontal line in front of them showing the direction that they were supposed to follow. "This way." Said Carla. "Are you certain,what if it is a trap?* Rita asked. "You go to church all the time. They teach you about faith yet you don't seem to have it.where usyyour faith woman?" Carla asked. Carla suddenly stopped. "Why have you stopped?" Rita asked. The two of them stared at the woman who was bathing in the Oak river. Her hair was glowing in a blue colour. The woman got out of the water, her naked body became covered in a blue lingerie then a blue gown that showed her female figure. Her hair returned to its normal colour . The wo
Late in the evening. Father Jonathan put the candle's and began welcoming the prophet's. Carmen arrived with King Cyrus. The prophet's bowed. "Greetings my Lord, we did not expect to see you here with us tonight." Said the Archbishop. "I also did not expect to see myself here. I came because I wanted to ensure that my daughter was not making a mistake by associating with this Church!" Said the King. "I assure you that your daughter has done a brave thing coming here. We need her more than she knows." Said the Archbishop. Suddenly Rita arrived. Father Jonathan welcomed her in. "Where is Carla?" The Archbishop asked. "She has gone to hunt for a crocodile. One of the ingredients we need to make an ointment. I will explain everything later on." The prophet's were happy to see Rita back. They welcomed her with hugs. "What did you tell my daughter that somehow won her into joining you?" King Cyrus asked. "Father please." Said Carmen. "Your highness. I do respect you as a King. Bu
Hours passed The prophet's as well as Ingrid,Theresa, Alex and Carmen all stood at the palace gate with King Cyrus and his army. Shiandra and her army of vampire's arrived, twenty five in total. They stood ten metres in front of the palace gate. "You call that an army?" King Cyrus mocked. "You should not laugh too soon. Attack!" Shiandra commanded. . The vampire's ran to the gate. Theresa formed a protective, transparent barrier to keep them from the prophets, Alex and everyone else from harm. Shiandra's vampire's could not get through. They pushed but could not enter. "This will not hold for long." Theresa shouted. The prophet's fired their arrows to distract the vampire's. King Cyrus's warrior's drew their swords to the distracted vampire's and striked them on their hearts,killing them. Five vampire's however managed to escape. Noracian warrior's as well as those of Aota came forth, Shiandra commanded the Aotan warrior's to attack first. King Cyrus commanded the Kineti warri
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. The witch took out the seed of persuasion from her pockets and began to chew it. She then continued to speak.
Morning arrived,Carmen took an early bath. The King prepared breakfast and they ate. "Will you continue with what you said last night?" The King asked. "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
Late evening, Carmen, Rita and King Cyrus all went to the Zion church in a chariot. Father Jonathan greeted them and so did the prophet's. 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. Princ
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. The prophet's also woke up and carried their
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
