CHAPTER XLV : WHAT HAPPENED TO FAIRY KINGDOM
2157 Words
The Trueno Chieftain walked slowly following both the Ordo King and the Sioga King. He doesn’t even have any idea what things they’d be discussing. But he just walked behind them without questioning about it.
They walked silently through the corridors passing doors. They stopped in front of a door which is guarded by someone and also has a different design than the others. This must be the King’s room that they are about to enter, the Trueno chieftain thought.
The man guarding the room opened the door letting the three of them enter. And he wasn’t wrong with what he thought, it really is the Sioga King’s room or office. The Sioga King walked towards his chair and sat down immediately. He signaled both the Trueno Chieftain and the Ordo King to sit on the chairs in front of his table.
With the Sioga king’s consent, they sat down quietly and faced him implying him to start the conversation. He took a deep breath and paused for a while as if thinking about something. Perhaps he’s looking for the exact words to start whatever he is about to say.
“I apologize for not telling you about the condition of our land, I am so sorry that I didn’t tell you sooner” the Sioga king initiated as he looked at the both of them with a pitiful look “I didn’t have time because I have been busy saving this place” he continued “I didn’t even have the chance to attend you meeting” he added
“It’s fine your highness” the Ordo king responded kindly consoling the Sioga King “But what really happened here? Last time I got here, everything was still fine” he continued asking the Sioga king the reason why Fairy kingdom ended up like this
“Our land is gradually dying… as time goes by, I’m afraid we won’t have Azhakkstadd to live on anymore… good thing our incantations we slowed it down… but it cost us everything” the Sioga King answered in a silent voice but enough for the two leaders to hear
“Why is that? Did someone attack you?” the Trueno Chieftain asked in curiosity clarifying with the Sioga King as he looked at the Sioga king right through his eyes
“No… after the war that happened years ago that has been caused by Trevor, he casted his curse upon the whole Azhakkstadd” the Sioga King answered clarifying himself “And our land suffered a lot from it since it all happened here” he continued as he leaned backward
“What do you mean with that curse? Why don’t we know about it?” the Ordo king asked having no idea with what the Sioga king is talking about
“No one knew about that, only Siogas and the past great leaders who locked Trevor away” he answered as he shiefted glances to the both of them
“He’s not dead?” the Trueno Chieftain asked in shock and disbelief as he leaned forward to pin his point
“He already died once, yet he came back to life… so they thought of sealing him away so that he can’t damage anyone anymore” the Sioga King answered him immediately
“Trevor caused the turmoil upon the whole Azhakkstadd… he went spreading trouble, disorder, and disturbance all over Azhakkstadd, he is poisoning the minds of the past leaders of the Yanars, Longs, Sahirs, and mostly the Periits and Umbras… that’s when chaos started here in Azhakkstadd”
“He stirred everyone’s anger that caused everyone to fight against each other and broke the peace that has been established”
“He wanted our world to live in his way, of course our ancestors don’t want that to happen so they prevented him from doing that. But he managed to do his evil plans. He learned how to do incantations and enchantments, even those that are forbidden to perform. He learned to use powers as strong as he can to destroy everything that gets on his way”
“After gaining respect from the Periits and Umbras, he tried to associate with the Yanars, Sahirs, and Longs, but he failed since those tribes also wanted dominance over Azhakkstadd”
“He failed to do an alliance from the three tribes yet he already succeeded stirring these people into rage that caused them to rebel against us and the other tribes. They started war against each other, they started war against the other tribes who doesn’t even wanted to fight”
“He, then, caused so much destruction… he killed so many innocent lives… he spread so much fear, anger, and hatred towards each and every one that lived that time. All because of the honor and glory that he always wanted”
“He took away the peace and order from Azhakkstadd all because he wanted to take hold of this world in his hands. He wanted to rule Azhakkstadd and make everyone do whatever he says”
“Our ancestors tried stopping him at any cost. They did everything to make him stop and bring back everything that has been lost. He died once, the Fairy king at that time managed to stab him right through his heart, but… having so much power, he revived… no knows why and how”
“He became more outrageous, more powerful, and more cruel after his revival. The forces of the Periits and Umbras became even stronger that they were so intimidating and unbeatable. The Sahirs, Yanars, and Longs urged for more power, so they didn’t stop and stirred more destruction”
“So they looked for another way to finally defeat him, and that is to lock him away and never let him escape anymore”
“They used the most powerful sealing magic that existed in Azhakkstadd. Shamans and tribe leaders together with the elderlies from each tribe helped performing the ritual since it needed much power. But he knew what is happening so he tried stopping them. He almost stopped them, yet they managed to finish and lock him away”
“But before they could seal him, he casted a great curse upon the whole Azhakkstadd that will cause it to be destroyed. No one could reverse the spell he made at that time. He was gone yet the destruction he caused still remained destroying the whole Azhakkstadd”
“Our ancestors also managed to seal Periits and Umbras who never ceased to cause turmoil that time in the depths of the earth where they can never escape… yet they did now”
“He caused an eternal destruction upon our world because he could never take grasp upon it. Every single day that had passed, is terror for everyone. Peace and orderliness never came back. The whole world gone silent yet everything is slowly vanishing”
“In order for no one to be able to reverse the sealing magic or to open the seal, they hid the temple where the sealing magic is written”
“Where is that?” the Ordo King asked suddenly out of curiosity as his eyebrows almost met each other
“The Water Territory… it sunk in the depths of the ocean where no one could find it. They casted a spell around the whole village so that no one aside from the Vands could enter it. They even blessed the Vands to have such power so that they can protect the old writings”
“As for where Trevor is sealed, no one knew… our past leader tribes preferred not telling anyone aside from them about the location to protect all of us”
“And that is what happened here… an endless agony and destruction…” he told the two of them. He bowed down slowly as he broke down hopelessly knowing that their whole world will surely come to an end soon.
The Ordo King and the Trueno Chieftain sat still having difficulty absorbing everything they just heard. The shock, disbelief, and terror quickly rose up evidently upon their faces that they hanged up for a while unable to respond about it. They looked at the Sioga King who seemed so down about everything that is happening around. The worst part is that they can’t do anything about it.
“I-is that even true?” the only thing that came out from the Ordo king as he spoke still carrying the confused and disbelieving expression
“Yes it is your highness” the Sioga king answered slowly looking up to the Ordo King
“Is there something we can do?” the Trueno Chieftain asked again as he gathered up all his senses
“Nothing… we all just have to wait until the very end…” the Sioga King answered sadly shaking his head without breaking his gazes to the both of them
“Is that the reason why the land of the Mortals is so dull right now?” the Trueno chieftain asked out of nowhere as he remembered the condition of the land he visited last time with Nazif
“What!?” the Sioga king asked surprised “Oh no… they’ve suffered the same fate as us now” he said lowly
“The whirlwinds are even wilder up above… our clouds are getting weak, I’m afraid our village would fall off soon. The wind and the rain seemed so unhealthy” the Trueno chieftain added
“It’s already happening… I’m so sorry, but our end is nearly approaching” the Sioga King said shaking his head in so much disappointment”
“Then what’s the point of bringing those children here? They’ll die anyway, we’ll all die” the Trueno Chieftain asked as he suddenly snapped out from his deep thinking
“The Periits and Umbras broke the seal, that means we needed someone to come looking for us” the Ordo king said answering the Trueno Chieftain’s question as he shifted his gaze towards him
“That’s it, we’ll still die even if we defend ourselves” the Trueno Chieftain repeated himself giving emphasis to his point
“Are you just going to let those people kill us or let fate do whatever it wanted to do?” the Ordo king questioned him back that made him pause for a while to think about it
“Plus the Gods wouldn’t have Kurezma if it was for nothing… don’t lose hope chief” the Sioga king added after the Ordo king spoke
“Then there must be something we can do to stop it from happening” the Ordo King stated as he turned to the Sioga king “Right? Kurezma wouldn’t be chosen if the Gods would just let us die from that lifetime curse” he added
“We know nothing about the present your highness… all we know is that everything happens for a reason…” the Sioga king spoke humbly and slowly as he locked his gaze towards the Ordo king “Let’s not lose hope”
“I am so sorry with what I just said… but I have something to tell you” the Trueno chieftain uttered. Both kings just looked at him waiting for him to continue
“I have a student who believed she accidentally acquired the ability of the Portal…” he initiated “She even met two of the Azhakkstadd Guardians, Lux and Viggo, who spoke to her regarding that matter” he continued mentioning the two Guardians whom Aisha saw
“If that is by accident, they should have taken it back from her” the Ordo king spoke out of nowhere as if thinking about something
“I told you your highness… everything happens for a reason” the Sioga king said with a faint smile on his lips
“Anyway, I have to go… I need to be back in the clouds sooner” the Chieftain bid his farewell as he stood up
Both the kings stood up giving him the permission to leave. The Trueno chieftain bowed down his head as a sign of respect before he stepped back and turned towards the door where they entered a while ago. He reached for the door knob and exited himself.
