Chapter-17: He is not the king.
King Oz was in his palace, sitting on his seat and all his people were on their chairs and thinking about his loss. He was the king and he had four horses to pull the chariot but then also he lost. He couldn't handle his loss; he was crushing his teeth and thinking about him.
His eyes were closed and went to that time when he saw Hero coming out from that black forest. He knew that no one came out from that forest alive but then also he came back. The story which he knew about the forest was true or false, this question was roaming around in his mind.
Meanwhile, one soldier came and told him that the stone table village was empty because they all went to buffalo village to save their life.
Oz was shocked because that village was under him. He was getting scared because he knew that if king Zod knew about this then he would snatch his place and throw him out of the palace. In anger he took a decision to throw out Henry from his work because he belonged to that village and he can't do his work.
When Henry got informed by the soldiers that he was being dismissed from his place, he was shocked. He came back to his house and all the family members were upset because Henry had lost his job. Alice entered their house and saw their sad faces. When she asked about the reason behind their sadness, they explained everything to her but she told them not to worry.
… Because she also faced the same problem and, in that situation, Hero helped them. After sometime, they all were standing in front of Thomas with Hero.
Thomas had helped all the villagers who came from a stone stable village. He had given them a place to stay and farmers for cultivation but now he has to help Henry also.
"How can I help him?" Asked by Thomas to Hero.
He told him that in the village, he had one shop which he wanted to rent and Uncle Henry would run the shop and pay his rent. … Thomas liked the idea and he agreed because through this, he will get more money and he will become richer from other landlords. Henry had already made a decision that he was going to open a fruit shop.
In the house, Henry was surprised by the behavior of Thomas because he knew that he wouldn't listen to Hero but that time he was listening to him and without any problem, he agreed for the shop.
Alice knew everything and she told everyone that Hero won the race and the prize amount; he gave it to him due to this he listened to him. Everyone had a smile on their face but Angel was thinking that he had given his entire prize amount to him, why?
At the school, they all were sitting in the class and Jack told him that whenever Hero used to win the race, he give all the prize amount to him and in return, Thomas use to give him a new land. Now, she had understood everything, she had a huge smile on her face because now everything is clear. All her family problems have been solved.
In the palace, some soldiers came inside with red flags having lion marks. Oz knew about the flag, everyone stood from their seats because the king was coming. With many soldiers, the king Zod was standing in front of him. He was there with his chair. His soldiers put that chair on the floor and he took his seat. … Oz slowly walked towards him and stood in front of him while uttering a single word from his mouth. Zod was angry at him because he lost the race and he was not able to do anything when his people were going towards the buffalo village. Now, the whole stone table village is empty, there is no one who wants to live in that village.
"Oz… you have lost everything and if you want to save yourself from me, then do something about that boy Hero."
His eyes became red due to anger and he was staring at him.
…
"Y…yes my lord." Said by Oz in a low voice.
"Better."
After this small conversation, he stood from his seat and went from there. He took a long breath and fell back on his chair because he noticed his anger. If he was not angry with him then he wouldn't have come personally to his palace.
At night, Henry was sitting in front of Joseph because he knew that Joseph could help him with this problem. Joseph was looking towards his wife and thinking about giving that land which is full of fruits. Mary called Hero for help and she told him to fill uncle Henry's shop with all types of fruits.
"Ok mother."
Joseph told him that next time onwards, he will give his land to him for farming of fruits.
They all were talking, and the Hero heard some sound from outside. When he came out, he saw many soldiers sent by Oz. They told him to send all the villagers back to their village; otherwise, they will take strong action against him.
He smiled at them and told them that if they want to take all the villagers back then they can, he had no business with them. Hero knew that if he told everyone to leave the village then they would leave but his mother had taught him that if he is capable of helping someone then he should help them.
All the soldiers notice that he had red their minds, they all point their spear on him but push them all back and in an angry voice, he asks everyone to leave his house otherwise, he will kill them all. His eyes were shining and electric shocks were roaming around his hand. … They all get scared because they notice his anger and without any action, they all run away from there.
"Hero… let's go inside." Said by Mary.
It was a beautiful morning but that morning had something new for Hero. Sun was still behind the mountain. The hero was sleeping on his wooden slab. Birds were flying in the sky. Suddenly, Hero heard a melodious sound from the field side where they always used to take goats and sheeps for herding.
He quickly removed his blanket and woke up. That melodious sound was still coming, and he had a smile on his face. He thought that he should follow the sound and found the origin of that sound. Without informing anyone, he followed that sound and went near the field. He was looking around and the sound increased, he knew that the sound was coming from there only but he wasn't able to find it.
Again, he lost in that sound. He knew that someone was singing a song but who? He used his power to find that female who was singing.
He saw a girl was dancing and singing in the field. Her voice was so melodious, even all the trees were moving due to the wind but it was like they were dancing on her song. Long grasses were moving and from nowhere, patles of flowers fell on her and that scene made her dance more beautiful.
He was hiding behind one tree and watching her dance and listening to her song. He was surprised when he saw Angel, meaning that girl was Angel who was singing and dancing. He looked around, there was no one and he was enjoying the dance.
His eyes were fixed on her and when she finished her song, he clapped for her, very loudly and he forgot that she was alone in the field. He kept hiding himself behind the tree and she was looking around but there was no one. She quickly ran away from there.
At night, Oz went inside the black forest in search of those four witches. He knew that he was going to meet them in that forest. He was walking around with his soldiers but suddenly, he heard a screaming sound of his soldier. He noticed that they were around and after that, one by one all his soldiers died and he was alone in that forest. … He was standing at one place and his eyes were moving around, water drops were coming from his head and had a lamp on his hand.
When he turned back, he was shocked because one witch was standing there and she was having wings, she was Lauren. He looked towards left and right, there were Rose and Regan. Suddenly, he felt some air blow which was coming from his back and he slowly turned back. … He saw Hena was standing in her black dress and she moved her hand in the air and that lamp extinguished but some fire ball appeared around him.
"How sweet, tonight… we are going to drink the blood of a king." Said by Lauren.
She was licking her lips but Hena saw something else in him. She stopped everyone in their places because she had red his mind and she also had a smile on her face. It was like she knew what he wanted from them.
"He is not the king."
