1018 Words
Inside a dark room, two figures could be seen discussing. Arthur fiend and his loyal seer, Darko.
Darko is someone with a bald head and a long white beard. He sees the future and performs magic in the dark. He can never see the light because of the curse he received from his superior, seer Ellen.
Both of them were the assigned seer gods of the world but seer Darko chose to be the seer of Arthur and seer Ellen had to curse him for betraying the Supreme Creator, for following an evil path.
Inside the dark room, Seer Darko was trying to see what the future holds, under the command of Arthur.
Arthur had gain a full recovery, the poison that had weakened him for the past fifty years had now been removed from his body. It's now time to rule over the world as King and an undefeatable god. Humans will become his slave and beasts will serve under him. That was all Arthur's plan. To know if there would be any danger in the future, he decided to make inquiry of the future from his very own seer, Seer Darko.
"What do you see, Darko?" Arthur asked feeling impatient to know the future.
"Master, the saviour lived. She is on her way to the direction of the cave!" Seer Darko said.
"Noooo!! She must die!" Arthur said as he exited the dark room and went for his throne room.
His soldiers and army were assembled and the former king of the stone kingdom was beside him. After Arthur gained recovery, the stone king had became his Duke or let us say the king's personal servant.
"Prepare an horse for me and I want twenty Knights to follow me into the forest. The evil female with markings is hiding there." Arthur said.
"So be it, your imperial majesty." One of the knights, who is in charge of the army division, said.
The horse was ready, it was a black horse and Arthur climbed on it, ready to journey into the forest.
The twenty other knights also had black horses and soon, they all left for the forest.
They were resting under a tree, when they felt the ground shaking and in a few distance from where they are, a mountain could be seen rising up.
"Is that normal?" one of the knights said. It was the first time he would see such thing. Same thing applies to the other knights. It was their first time seeing such things.
Arthur saw that the Mountain that had been hidden for long have finally been revealed.
The rumbling of the lake was as if a shark was being chased by a turbulent wave. Immediately, the lake dried up and a very large mountain replaced it. The mountain was so high and Mia can't help but awe at the greatness of the mountain.
The seer took Mia inside the mountain cave and as they stepped inside the cave, the whole cave lit up with lights from different types of beast crystals.
They got to one of the cave rooms that had been shut by a very large stone door. The seer placed her hands on the wall and a magic circle appeared, unlocking the stone door. Immediately, the stone door turned into dust. They entered the room and right at the centre of the room were a group of floating crystals. Six in numbers with different colours. The energy emitting from these six crystals were great and Mia wondered why it was different from all other beast crystals whose energy aren't as great as these ones.
The seer instructed her to touch each stone one by one, and she did so. As she touched each stone, it disappears and as it did do, she was feeling more empowered. She knew she was getting stronger as each stone keeps on disappearing and so, she kept on touching each stones. And when it came to the last crystal, the red crystal, it was shining brightly as if it is waiting for her to touch it. But then, a loud noise was heard coming towards the cave room and the seer tried her best to prevent the knights that were coming to enter the cave. Mia touched the red crystal and immediately, she felt her head aching, her eyes getting weakened, her body was shivering and then, she passed out.
The seer left the entrance of the cave as she went to protect Mia. One of the knights that was closer to them got scorched by the seer's magic. She had to draw a magic circle and she also had to protect Mia from getting hurt by the knights.
As she used one hand to fight the knights, she used the second hand to draw the magic circle.
Finally, she drew the circle and stood at the centre of it with Mia in her arms. The knights saw that she had stopped attacking, so they proceeded inside but before they could reach her, she had already been teleported to the Darwin's kingdom.
The knights were surprised as she disappeared and seeing them no more, they went to report to Arthur who was on his horse.
The energy that was emitting from the crystal was pushing Arthur away, if he dare went into the cave, there's no doubt, he will be dead.
So he resulted in staying outside, ordering fifteen knights to take care of Mia. He ordered them to bring her to him but if anything goes wrong, they should kill her.
And when the knights came back and reported the news to him, he just laughed.
He looked at all the fifteen knights were kneeling on the ground. He stretched his hands and in an instant, they were all burnt into ashes.
"That's what I'll do to those who fails my order." Arthur said to the remaining five knights.
They proceeded back to the Stone city and each of the knights are fearing within themselves.
"I think it's time I bring in my friends." Arthur said with a smirk on his face.
