2024-10-29 19:42:56The armies seemed not drained after their strengths were used up on full power of more than half a day battle without food or water. It was amazing that they could go on like that for so long. And it only meant one thing. They were driven by each of their dream that was only one goal—to win.
Zadi watched the two kings who faced each other as if they were talking only with their minds. The expression of their faces was like of that a warrior who was ready to slay his enemy.
“It is like the two kings are not fighting with their hands and body but with their minds,” she commented rather more to herself.
The high priestess heard her, and she too turned to look at the two kings who stood face to face. They had been like that for a long time.

“Hey, shrieking priestess!” Diana called out. She was bored at throwing spells at each other that didn’t yield anything but a few scratches here and there, nothing mortal.The witch priestess stopped and looked at her with suspicious eyes.“I’m bored with this stuff. You know something more interesting than casting spells?” Diana added.The witch priestess still eyed her suspiciously. Maybe this young foreigner witch priestess would set a trap for her, she thought.“Hey, are you listening?” Diana’s voice grew louder.“Yes!” the priestess answered through gritted teeth.“Good!”“And what do you want, young foreigner witch priestess? Surely, you are up to no good for me.”Diana grinned. “You’re so silly! I’m just having a friendly conversation. And perhaps we can have a friendly battle without hurting each other.”

His eyes were fierce as his body naturally assumed a fighting stance.“You guys are boring me to death now!” He spat on the ground and burnt his enemies with his magical fire.****Eric followed the sorcerer priest who ran around the battlefield—so fast. They moved sprightly that it seemed no one could see them anywhere. He finally grabbed a hold of the sorcerer priest’s loincloth. They stopped just a short distance from the two kings who were fighting against each other; both were already bruised and bloodied in their face, thighs and arms.“Stop… running… around!” He punched the sorcerer priest thrice ri

There were times that she was the one who would tend to his wounds from battles if he did not go to Priestess Nehes first. His mother however warned him that he could not marry the priestess ever.“You are not meant to be with each other, Meru. She has her duties to the king and the temple,” his mother reminded him.“I know that, Mother. For now, I am contented to be with her just like this.” That was his answer to his beloved mother, though his heart was heavy due to this fact.He recalled some time later that she looked depressed and gloomy. And not long afterward, she was gone to the underworld. He and his father did not know what went wrong or for what reason she killed herself.

After all, your mission was to help the king win the battle and unify the Two Lands,” she suggested.The four teenagers looked at one another. The high priestess had a point of course. Elise’s heart was beating so fast with excitement and anticipation.

You do not need to go to the king’s residence.

“Yes, elite seer,” Nefer replied straightforwardly. “But the time and place will depend on your fate. You will see visions beforehand. As I believe, you saw visions before coming here, correct?”Elise nodded at the correctness of the high priestess. “Yes… I saw visions, images. I saw the double crown of the king he’s wearing now. I saw his face, the totem of scorpion and several others. I never thought they would all come into reality. I thought I was just… stressed out—tired due to my studies, you know?”“I understand, elite seer.”“So… May I ask why exactly it has to be me?” Elise questioned almost desperately as she pointed at herself.“That question, elite seer—I just found out the reason recently.” Nefer paused and sighed before she continued. “You are my distant relative.”Zadi stared at the high priestess in sur
