Chapter 1. Pursuit
Era: 849 BC
Don't let them escape!!! Capture them!!! Faster! screamed by a dark cloaked,well built man with his face covered with a mask,with only his red eyes and pupils are visible as he commands his subordinates pursuing a silver haired lady with amber eyes, pupils as golden as the sun which shines when the bright full moon light shines it's magic. Her golden dress made up of Al harir was decorated with linen and Harrapan silk fibres which shows that she is a royalty.
She looks so young as if she was in her late 20s .It is an undeniable fact that the lady is beautiful even though her face is half covered in a transparent white Veil.
She dashes with a great speed as if it is a meteorite passing as she holds a baby who looks just like her to the edge of the moon forest. The men chased after her for an hourglass.
She stopped as she reached a Tãne mahuta tree and removed a glowing blue pendant from her neck . She touched the tree with her palm and started chanting the spell "aftah ya albab aleazim aldhy yuadiy 'iilaa qarat al ahmar''.
An enormous magic circle appears on the tree,a massive amount of Tak begins to exit from the pendant and enters the tree opening an interdimensional portal, the pendant loses its light as the portal opens. The men in black suddenly appear casting spells on their weapons with their leader who exudes confidence on the front. She wore the pendant again as she prepared for battle.
The lady summons a golden sword and casts a floating spell on the baby as she releases her tremendous battle aura which causes the ground to shake as if it's an earthquake. The leader of the men in black releases his dark domineering battle aura as he rushes to confront the lady saying " die in the name of the great king Ashur!!!".
A strong wind blows as their swords clash with a horrible sound of two greatswords clashing, the subordinates of the huge man are blown away by the great wind.
The way they are exchanging swords at an astonishing speed is simply amazing even though the man in black is slightly weaker as he is being suppressed by the lady.
*Clang*
[ It seems to me that the poison has kicked in..] the man in black said as he smirks.
[...You traitor!.. you are worse than a dog!!! ] the lady shouted angrily and as she gripped her sword tightly.
[Hahahaha! you sure know how to trash talk.. lady Noor, that's not nice coming from you..well it doesn't matter since you and your baby are going to die!!!]
Shut the hell up Margan!!! Lady Noor shouted as she steps back and raised her sword to chant a spell.
" Barq!" loudly.
A huge thunder gathers from the sky and releases tremendous lightning to strike Margan.
Ancile!!! Margan shouted loudly and an invisible shield protected him from the lightning.
[Hu..hu..hu..so close..] Margan murmured while breathing heavily, he turned back and saw his subordinates twenty of them were dead, the remaining 10 were heavily injured.
Margan screamed " Danza de los muertos!!!". His dead underlings' bodies begin to be covered in a dark mist as an ominous aura is being released to the surroundings. The surrounding trees and plants begin to wilt and dry.
*whoosh*
The wind blowing turn colder as if it is winter, lady Noor gazes upon the mist as she is breathing heavily showing the sign that she is out of *Ťak*.
[T..the forbidden arts, Muruts mantra!!!] she shouted as she was shocked by what she saw.
[Not bad milady! you are right about that , it's the lost forbidden arts that lord Ashur found in the tomb of Garq and now it's given to me so you have to die!!! hahaha ] laughing crazily.
She took out a pendant from her neck and put it in the baby's wrap cloth and started casting a spell on the interdimensional portal , the baby floating on air began to move towards the portal .
I won't let you!!! All the descendants of Djinn must die! Margan shouted as he commanded the dead to attack her.
In the blink of an eye they closed the gap between them and attacked her with incredible speed and power.
Noor created a barrier which separates them from the baby as the baby was entering through the portal, the baby began to cry which made Noor hesitate a little seeing that she will be separated from her child forever.
She barely blocked all the attacks from the dead but was heavily injured, Margan rushed to destroy the barrier but was too late.
Lady Noor smiles with tears of sadness flowing from her eyes as she sees the baby pass through the portal and whispers "grow strong my dear" as she draws her last breath.
No!!! Margan shouted angrily as he used his life force to destroy the barrier but before he reaches, the portal was gone.
Gahhh!!! he shouted in agony,
[W...what am I supposed to say to the great lord?!, he will definitely kill me without a doubt]
*Rumble*
An assembly of fifteen thousand men armoured in black hooded jittu jan at the gate to the palace.
The palace was grand, decorated with amethyst and precious Yaqut stones and some unknown dazzling precious stones. The walls of the palace were built with rare stones and lime plasters. The palace was 14.75 million cubit (about 75million cu ft) large by volume. Seated on the grand throne was a man about 2m tall with a majestic and domineering aura sitting majestically as his eyes were closed. At his right and left side was a huge Basilisk and a giant Manticore respectively. One look at him will make you understand that this man is an Overlord.
*whoosh*
The huge door of the palace was opened as a strong wind blew through the palace.
*tab tab *
An entering foot sound was heard in the silent palace which echoes in the entire palace.
Margan enters the palace,
[Y...your majesty the witch is dead!] he said as his voice trembled in fear.
[And the baby! Where is he?!] The man said with a frightening voice (as if two metals are being rubbed against each other) as he frowns his face.
[I..I. am sorry..my lord..the baby is gone!] Margan said as he is sweating and trembling non stop
[What!!! How dare you let them escape!! Do you know what you have done...] As he opened his eyes , his horrifying pupils were exposed as his voice caused the palace to shake.
His poisonous battle aura begins to leak causing the warriors to start to choke and breath heavily while some begin to faint.
*zzzzz-Pang*
An old man with white hair and long beard wearing a purple robe holding a white staff appears out of nowhere covered in lightning and kneels in front of Lord Ashur.
[Long live the great king Ashur!] bowing his head as his face shows absolute loyalty.
[Where have you been Rhages?!] Lord Ashur said as he drew his poisonous battle aura back and the men began to regain their senses.
Margan who was shaking in fear opens his mouth in daze as he gazes upon the sight as Rhages starts speaking.
"I have been in seclusion for ten days in order to assimilate the sorcerer's stone that you gave me my King ''. as his face is still down facing the floor.
"What are we supposed to do?!!" King Ashur looks at Rhages as he awaits an answer.
"There is only one way my King and it will take twenty years to achieve but it's the only way" Rhages said as he lifted his head up.
"And it is ?" King Ashur asked.
"The interdimensional portal can only be opened every 20 years and to open it we need the moon stone from Huras's pendant since it contains a insurmountable amount of *Tak* and it is nowhere to be found so I believe it's with the baby" Rhages said as he continues to explain.
"I have a way to create an artificial moon stone but many sacrifices are needed, because it needs an enormous amount of Tak". Rhages stopped as he waited for king Ashur's reply.
"
Like how many ?" King Ashur asked.
"About 20 thousand high level Tak users" Rhages replied
"Then go ahead" Ashur replies as he smirks.
"Your wish is my command, your majesty," Rhages said as he bows and then disappears into thin air.
"Take him to the dungeon!!!" King Ashur commands his men to take Margan away.
[Please your highness.... have...mercy ahhhh! !!] Margan screamed as he was dragged away.
"I swear on my magic that all the descendants of djinn will be wiped out of this world, not a single one of them " Ashur said with a grin on his face.
" Hahahahahaha!!! I will come for you soon Abel djinn so wash your neck clean hahaha!!!" Ashur laughs crazily as the thunder rumbles.
*Rumbles*
