Part I: the floral throne

.

[300 years before the arrival of (Al-Nahhas) junior]

.

.

The treacherous prince (Saridi) was surrounded by an army of guards.

His noble father spent everything he had in order to save him, but all this was not enough. His wife told him:

- " He is in an impregnable castle, inside a fortified hall, with one entrance, in front of him stands the greatest warriors of the walls of (Snails), and for two centuries it has not happened that armies have succeeded in occupying this castle, and you are still trembling from one man?"

"Only if you know who this man is. He belongs to the organization of the slayers named (Melted Face), who disfigure their faces during the rituals of their oath of service to the Black Gods. They are the most notorious murderers of the haunted, and it has not happened in all of Orioum that the assassinations they carried out failed, they kill by special Satanic methods, believing that the dead are nothing but sinners whose lives have come to an end and that their survival violates the law of the whole Sphere. Any justification for agreeing to kill is sufficient, such as that the target is a traitor or even a liar, and the price is paid to the treasury of the organization, not to the murderers, and each murderer gets what he wants from this treasury to support himself, which is vows to kill," he said.

They kept arguing until they heard a commotion, and the mother's heart fell before the father, who rushed to make sure of his own guards, who met him with scowling faces and conveyed to him the black news:

- "The little prince has been killed, my lord... His face was found distorted by their mark, in the form of a number 11 in length and a number 11 cutting it across... The sign of regulation (Melted Face)"

The news was incredible, but there was little hope of chasing the killer.

He had entered the hall as one of the famous guards under the pretext of checking on Prince (Saridi), when the crime was discovered, he was still inside the castle, quietly moving towards the outside, just like one of the well-known guards, without expecting that they would reveal what happened so quickly, and when the largest hunting campaign in the history of Snails began, the killer had already left the walls, mounted his horse and headed towards the neighboring small forest, on his way to bypass the river (Snails), and as soon as he entered it, the troops were chasing him, and they determined that he was the target, because not a single guard had left and because the original guard was found hanged in one of the stables.

And in the forest he thought that in the future he should not respond to the pressure of the organization, electing any tasks outside the south and west of the Orioum, only in these areas the Shutter tree grows. And while rushing among the trunks and stems he suddenly saw her.

She was sitting one meter in the air, dressed in translucent white, and her very white features were quietly contemplating him. He knew that he was in the middle of the chase, but he stopped and approached her, thinking her soft white hair:

- "Do you remember me?" "So she said meekly.

- "Delgis? How did you know I was here? "

- " The snails men are very angry.. But you will run away from them as expected," she said.

- "Is it time for retribution?"

- "Yes. You will lead others and work together, there is no chance of error. The target is resourceful, and he should be completely finished."

- "Rest assured, Delgis, the Black Gods will not be content to delay retribution as long as its time has come. We will also put a"Melted Face" sign on his face."

It evaporated as if it were just a visual hallucination, and he heard the sound of horses, so he hurried to leave his clothes on top of the horse, and hit him with his hand on his paw, so this went away, and he decided to evaporate in turn.

He searched for a Shutter tree until he easily found one, and he hurried to it looking for a certain flower, with small petals, until he found his goal. The flower was normally very poisonous, but he was punctured of the Shutter tree fork, and according to the Magic of the Trees, the fork gives him additional abilities, which he will need if the siege is prolonged.

And when a dozen angry guards passed by him, he was just a tree trunk, in the arms of enemies. He knew that the whole forest will be surrounded for several days until every stone in it was searched.

He was a closed-eyed trunk, and when they moved far enough away from him, two green eyes opened in him, the eyes of the killer.

An hour before the assassination of Prince Saridi:

.

.

"Shereen"

She was indulged in kissing him, careful not to touch his lips.

"Shereen"!

He said it nervously, and she said to him while she wrapped her arm around his neck:

"What's wrong with you, Rafeeq, why are you spoiling our time?"

"I feel the sound of footsteps, maybe someone is watching us".

She climbed on top of him on the bed, leaned on his neck and then his chest, and kissed him passionately

" Let him satisfy his passion".

"Are you mad... The Emperor's men are looking for the princess throughout the city of (Roses), and combing its streets, street by street, to prevent her from claiming the throne of her betrayed father. If they find out that I left the operation to have fun with ..!"

He groaned, interrupting his words when she started sending him alluring glances. he could not bear her temptation, and when he tried to kiss her forcibly, the owner of the steps suddenly broke into the place, and Rafiq grabbed his huge dagger as he pulled her to his right, saying with inflamed nerves:

" Go away, Shireen... I will protect you from the...!"

He wondered for a second when the intruder looked at him sarcastically, without actually doing anything, and then cried out in shocking astonishment and pain, when the girl slashed his throat with a very sharp, small blade, which she had hidden under the covers.

*SLSSHH*

Blood gushed swiftly from his neck. And he says in a foamy, intermittent voice as if he were a drowning person because his throat was torn

" You?!! Why?!"

She put on her pink off-shoulder dress, as she answered:

"Because I am the princess, my love. I am (Aynur)."

The handsome intruder told her:

"Come on, bring the map quickly."

She snatched it from the table of the slain man, and with the handsome, then she ran quickly toward the broad porch of that mansion, and they heard an enthusiastic shout:

"Here she is... it's the fugitive princess... on the balcony of the minister's palace (Rafiq)".

Her eyes met the eyes of dozens of soldiers besieging the palace from every direction, and the handsome Whistler especially, looking at the dark sky bewildered, as if calling out something, the soldiers began to climb into the palace quickly, and when they saw the slain minister they were struck by immeasurable shock and anger, and their commander shouted at them: "What are you waiting for you bastards, storm the balcony and slaughter the damned one".

The sharp blade suddenly flew, pierced his head, then came out of his forehead, continued its movement like an arrow in front of everyone's stupor, slowed down a lot when it reached the princess, got into a sheath intended for her in a belt around her waist, and the handsome thought in envy: "The dynasty of princesses.. And the weapons of the dynasty of enchanted princesses".

Before the commander's body falls and blood flows from his heavily wooded head.

The Bones magic from (Ghosts Harbor) cannot be underestimated.

The soldiers scurried floundering when suddenly they saw a wonderful and terrible sight at the same time.

A bird-like dinosaur landed from the middle of clouds and the illuminating moon, and stood above the porch that languished under the weight of its weight،

Princess Aynur and that handsome man who leads him jumped on his back, who looked at the soldiers with the same cynical look, and he said to her:

- "Hold on tight, my lady."

She stuck to him smelling his manly sweat, similar to the smell of roasted onions, and embraced him well, feeling the muscles of his chest and abdomen divided, now away from the arms of the enemy, can leave pretending and acting, and feel the warm manly body. Without the bodies of men, Ainor cannot feel the splendor, madness, and joy of life. He whistled again, grabbing a bony fin protruding from the giant animal's head, and this flew rapidly upwards, making a sound like a crow's croak, at the very moment when two soldiers jumped on him, but they could not hold on to anything, and they lost their balance, falling over the Flying Dinosaur and making a long cry, Ainur laughed so hard, as she fled with the handsome in the clouds, with the map she had done all she could to reach her.

Looking for her father's stolen throne.

Genesis of tongues

Shrouded in mystery is (Sher Kuhar), the first of all and the source of the (Holy Tongues), and the creator of (The Sphere). There is no source to confirm his existence or how his name arrived in the defunct hieroglyphic civilization، but (The Knights of Sphere), whose historical existence is confirmed, had communicated with (The Golden Heroliga) Kings before the ruin and mentioned him among the old, forgotten knowledge they had left.

They said that Sher Kuhar was created by a higher power that they simply called (The Great Power), authorized to speak of only by a few individuals, who will appear through the next times and times. Sher Kuhar possessed incredible powers, unimaginable to humans, through which he was able to design The Sphere, within which the interior could move freely and easily between time and space, in any of the thirteen worlds of the solar system. In the first age Sher Kuhar created the thirteen silent souls, he made them the source of life in The Sphere, and gave them thirteen tongues, plucked them out of his mouth so that they could proclaim great power; so the letters and words of these languages are capable - by themselves - of unleashing magical powers, energies inherent in the vibrations and oscillation of the sacred tongues they first uttered.
