It's been seven days since Zor left for battle and he hasn't returned. Everyone thought that Zor had died in battle. Some found it hard to believe as he hasn't lost a battle.
Seven days ago~
Word was brought to the palace that one of the seven kingdoms, Jaguar kingdom to be precised was waging war against the kingdom of Zorah.
The king then sent for his son Zor in order for them to plan for battle.
"My son what do we do because the kingdom of Jaguar is calling for war?" said the king to his son
"Father if they want war we give it to them because we cannot risk the peace and unity of our people if we fail to go to war" said Zor to his father while looking at a map of the camp of their enemy.
"But my son we haven't gone to war with the people of Jaguar before and they are said to be strong and have never lost a battle" said the king looking so worried.
"Well father do not worry we will surely conquer them. We also need to be smart" replied Zor.
"Okay then, let's look at the battle plan" said the king looking at the plan they have arranged for battle.
Just then Zack walked in and greeted his father saying "hello father".
"My son it's good you are here" replied the king.
"Father what's happening?" asked Zack.
"Brother as you can see we are preparing for war" said Zor hastily.
"Oh i see" said Zack as he smirked.
After going through all the battle plan they decided to appoint the soldiers who would be going for battle.
The king then sent word to the chief commander of the royal army to prepare the soldiers for battle.
The king also suggested to go along with the soldiers for battle but his son Zor refused and decided to go in his place.
"Zor are you sure you want to do this because if you get killed i would not forgive myself" said the king to Zor looking so worried as he would not like to loose his son.
"Father i want to do this and i promise to bring victory to the kingdom" replied Zor.
The queen who had been quiet the while time decided to speak, "my king if he wants to fight alongside the royal army then let him do as he pleases".
"Yes mother you are right" said Zack who was also listening to the conversation.
"You see father even mother and my brother wants me to go and so please give me your blessings" said Zor kneeling before his father to receive his fatherly blessings before going to battle.
"Okay my son i will bless you" replied the king placing his hands on Zor's head and about to bless him.
"thank you father" said Zor.
The king placing his scepter on Zor's head and his other hand too said " my son go in peace and bring back victory and honour to the kingdom".
"Yes father i will" with that Zor stood up and mounted his horse alongside with the royal army and they left for battle.
The queen could be seen sitting in the royal garden and having some grapes.
Zack then walked in and greeted her.
"What brings you here Zack?" she asked.
"Well mother, now that Zor is not in our way it's time for us to plan".
"Okay then. Have you spoken to our alliance?"
"Yes mother i have and he has agreed to be on our side".
"okay then, i just pray Zor dies in battle so that our plan would be easy to carryout" said his mother.
"I beg to take my leave mother as i have other things to attend to" said Zack.
"Okay my son, see you later" she replied.
"Yes mother" he said giving her a peck on the cheek. With that he left.
Meanwhile, Zor and his army had arrived at the battle ground and ready to fight at his command.
Just then their enemy appeared opposite them with their number thrice than them.
Zor began to hear murmur and bickering from his army because they were scared of the number of soldiers they were to fight with.
"We are definitely gonna die today" said a soldier.
"Did you see their number?" said another soldier.
"Let's begin to say our last prayer because we cannot get out of this" said another soldier.
"Would you all be quiet" said the commander of the army.
"My brothers do not be afraid for we will surely bring victory to our kingdom today" Zor said as he encouraged them.
"Take your places" shouted the commander.
The archers where the ones in front while the commander and Zor were in front of the archers to the army orders while the rest of the army were behind with their Shields and their swords.
"Ready!" shouted the commander.
"...and fire!" he shouted again.
The archers began shooting their arrows at their enemies while their enemies began to match forward with their horses to fight.
After the archers were done, they all began to fight. You could hear the clinking and swishing of swords. You could also hear the screams of men that were killed and massacred.
Zor was so swift with the sword in his hands that he had already killed fifteen men with a minute. He began riding to the battle front were the battle was hottest and hard. He began swinging his sword to kill whoever was in his way.
The battle was so tough and fierce that quarter of Zor's men were dead but their enemies were almost finished. Before one could comprehend what was happening the war ended but the leader of their enemies army escaped and Zor decided to chase after him
When the war ended the army of Zorah rejoiced with a shout and they began to carry their men that were injured. Just then the commander of the army asked for Zor and no one could tell where he went as they didn't see him when he chased after their enemies leader.
A soldier then saw his helmet and thought he was dead and showed it to the commander. They all began to weep because Zor was the reason they won the war. They began to retreat to their kingdom.
On getting to the gates of the kingdom, the people sighted the army and they began to rejoice and they had brought victory to the kingdom.
The chief commander then went to the king to report what happened during the battle.
The king on seeing the chief commander then asked "where's my son?"
The chief commander then bowed his head feeling sad and not knowing how to respond to the king.
"My...my king Zor is dead" the chief commander dropped the bombshell.
"What!" the king said as he could not believe what he heard.
"Yes my king, here is his helmet" he replied giving Zor's helmet to the king.
The king began to cry as he heard the news.
The queen and Zack walked in and enquired what happened to the king that made him cry.
"Zor is dead my queen and my prince" said the chief commander.
The queen and Zack was so happy to hear the news but they pretended to be sad.
"Did you look for his body?" asked the queen.
"Yes my queen we did but it seems he died" replied the chief commander.
Present day~
Everyone was in mourning state because of the alleged death of prince Zor.
Just then the guards stationed at the kingdoms gate saw a haggard figure coming towards the gate and the guard asked the man to halt. On noticing that it was the prince, they began shouting that the prince was alive.
Everyone began coming out and seeing for themselves that indeed the prince was not dead but alive.
Just then the prince dipped his hands into the bag that he was carrying and brought out a head. Everyone then looked closely and saw that it was the head of their enemy and they began rejoicing.
The king heard about the rumours and decided to head to the street to see for himself. In seeing his son, he hugged him and began crying.
"My son, i thought i lost you?" said the king.
"No father, I'm alive" said prince Zor.
He then showed the head to his father and his father was so happy as he had brought the head of their enemy.
The queen was in her Chambers when Zack ran in to inform her of the latest news.
"Mother, Zor is back".
"What!"
"Yes mother, he is".
"But he was dead"
"Everyone thought he was" the prince said.
"well it looks like we have to finish him off ourselves".
"indeed mother".
