Chapter 9 - CHAPTER 8: THE MASKED MAN

Morrigan what happened, where is the masked man at, where is the horse? asked WolfGang as he looked at her frantically seeing if she was hurt and trying to figure out what happened.

SHUT UP WolfGang let me think. Morrigan yelled out as she tried to make sense of what just happened.

What do you mean. What happened?

That man he look like a boy version of mom.

What are you talking about?

He looked exactly like mom. The same brown hair and the same blue eyes. It was as if I was looking at her. How is this possible brother?

I don't understand what you are talking about.

I called him Malik.

Why would you do that? Don't you remember Malik was kidnapped as a child he was probably killed off as he was a royalty. Dad was never able to find him. Don't you remember his rampage that he brought upon onto the other kingdoms looking for him.

Yes I know, but when I called out Malik he looked surprised then he ran away quickly.

If what you are saying is true then our brother killed our other brother. How are we going to explain this to mom and dad.

I don't know Wolf, but I think I'm right about this.

MILES AWAY FROM THE BATTLEFIELD IN A REMOTE CASTLE

Did you do it?

I was able to kill one of the twins I snuck up behind him stabbing him. He fell easily.

What about the other two royal brats. Asked a man dressed in black sitting in a corner chair in a deemed light room making the whole situation more mysterious.

The girl chased after me she tackled me down but I managed to escape. She called me a name I can't recall right not, but it was weird it's as if I have heard it before. The older prince was distracted with our soldiers trying to bring them all down at once I couldn't get my hands on him.

What about the girl you had the perfect opportunity to kill her why didn't you take the chance when you had it. GODDAMMIT MIKLAUS WHY DIDN'T YOU DO IT! He exclaimed as he slammed his hand on the table. I told you I want them all dead we will not surrender our lands to the man who calls himself King. I want him to feel the pain I felt when I lost my family those years ago.

I know my Lord I promise not to fail you once again I will kill that mans children and bring him here on his knees to beg for your forgiveness. He said as he went down on one knee bowing his head.

I know you can Miklaus, I trained you myself you can't fail me or else I will have your head instead.

Yes my Lord I understand. He then stood up walking away towards his room. He walked into the restroom took off his mask looked himself in the mirror and repeated the name Malik questioning who he really was almost as if his memories were blocked or erased. Yet he couldn't shake the feeling about something not being right when he heard that girl scream out that name.
