"I want to go there mom! I want to visit those ruins it's said that an ancient power still lurks there. Everyone is going Max, Sam, Alex, Veronica and Alice" said Archie to his mother .He wanted to go there to check out the legendary ruins of City Arkeriya. "No! It's dangerous there. I'm not going to allow any child of mine to visit that wretched ruin" said Archie's Mom Christina. Christina had already lost one of her son and she couldn't afford to lose Archie too. "Mom please I'm eighteen now! I can take care of myself don't need you there to treat me like a kid all the time. Look I know it was hard for you losing Robbie but mom I'm not Robbie I can take care of myself and I can take care of others too", Archie Replied angrily. "Okay fine! You can go there but if anything happens to you, you're grounded for life." replied Christy. Archie knew he shouldn't had fought with his mother but what could he do since Rob's death his parents were a little too tough on him he was banned from going out after 9pm, he was banned from leaving the house unless his parents drive him to where he wants to go, technically he was on house arrest.
"Hey man! You're late you should've been here an hour ago! Where were you? if you were any late the bus would've left for the ruins" asked Max in anger. "Sorry, you know my mom's kind of overreacting after Robbie's death" explained Archie while getting in the school bus. "Hey Archie baby how are you? Damn you're looking hot" said Elena while giving Archie a compliment. "I'm good! Thanks for noticing El" replied Archie in an unromantic manner.
Sid the class bully was teasing Veronica and Archie couldn't stand it, she was his friend so he fought with Sid on the school bus. Archie would've done than for anyone. If it's one thing that he can't tolerate its bullying.
Archie was eighteen years old now and had been having strange dreams, dreams about an empire, a throne and a man repeating the sentence "Long may he reign" over and over again. Archie saw Arkeriya again but this time he was not in its towers or at its wall nor was he wondering around the city he was in Dragon Fort the white keep the seat of the royal family and the House of the Abassids the Imperial House.
