Chapter 43
Duren captured
Duren entered a chariot and made his way to Oberon kingdom
At Oberon
The team in Oberon kingdom can be seen discussing happily in Alysia's room as there is their main place of meeting
Lydia: My parents approve of our marriage, I am so happy. Although, I haven't known about your dad
Prince Kelly: I am a guy, my dad will easily agree, I'm not even the crowned prince to begin with, so he wouldn't say a word but congratulations (Lydia smiled)
Alysia: Congratulations love birds
Lydia: Thanks Sisi
Prince Kelly: Thanks princess
Lydia: The joy is that my parents will leave here soon. Their presence kind of suffocates me
Postinur: Haha. Crazy girl (They all laugh)
Lydia: But Kelly, when we get married, Are we going to Crystal, your kingdom or we will remain here since Alysia hasn't released you of your being her right hand man
Kelly: Hmm. That depends
First of all, we aren't getting married any sooner, we will do the wedding after this battle, I don't want to wed in war but in peace
Lydia: Agreed
Postinur: Ofcourse
Kelly: Again, if Alysia releases me, we will wed in Lystra and live our lives together with our coming children (Lydia coughs and the team laughs) What? Of Course after the marriage, we will copulate and you will give me my beautiful children, most of them girls, because I want many of your faces around me
Alysia: Aww, so sweet
Lydia: I'm getting shy. (They all laugh again)
Kelly: Anyways, as I was saying, we will continue our lives in Crystal kingdom if Alysia, relieves me of being her right hand man but if she doesn't, we would wed here and live here in Lystra kingdom and palace.
Lydia: Alright
Alysia: I am not that bad a girl. I will relieve you once the battle is over. Then you guys can go all lovey dovey forever in Crystal kingdom
Lydia: I love you Sisi. (Hugs her)
Postinur: This is so beautiful, I wanna cry
Kelly: Me too. But men don't cry
Postinur: Yes, men don't cry (Alysia and Lydia laugh at them)
A guard comes to knock at the door of Alysia's room
Alysia: Yes, who's there?
Guard: Your majesty, the princess, a good evening to you. (Bows even though Alysia can't see him)
Alysia: Good evening to you too.
Guard: My princess, there is a visitor in the waiting room, wanting to see you
Alysia: Me?
Guard: Yes, I asked him if it was the king but he said no that he wants to see you
Alysia: Hmm, where is Dad?
Guard: Your highness, the king is with the dukedom in the theater room watching some play
Alysia: I don't know anyone intimately, I don't have friends, so why visit me?
Lydia: Maybe it's one of those women and their affairs, you know, aunt is sadly gone, you are to fill in for her
Alysia: Oh, you are right. (To the guard) Do you know who the person is that came to see me?
Guard: Yes, my princess, it is the King of Lystra kingdom
Lydia: Duren, What does he want?
Alysia: Um okay, tell him I am coming
Guard: Yes your majesty. (Leaves)
Postinur: What does Duren want?
Alysia: I don't know yet
Lystra: Anybody can change to anybody, it might not even be Duren
Alysia: Even Duren himself is harmful, might be under the spell of Cynthia
Postinur: Nah. Cynthia isn't evil
Kelly: Whatever it is, let's go together, on guard, to be careful
Alysia: Right!
They all leave together to meet Duren in the visitor's room, Postinur vanishing there invisibly
Duren: I want to meet with you alone, Alysia
Alysia: They are no stranger, you can talk to me in their presence
Duren: (Walks to Alysia and speaks in her ear) It's about the Prophecy
Alysia: You know about it?
Duren: And I have come to talk to you concerning it
Alysia: You can say it out loud, they aren't strangers about the prophecy, they are in fact both in the battle with me
Duren: Is that so? (Alysia nods) Then let's all have our seats, I prefer sitting on this talk (They sit on a sofa besides him, all three, together in the long sofa, while Duren in a short one)
Firstly, I want to see my brother, where is he?
Alysia: What brother?
Duren: Oh, stop pretending please, Cynthia told me everything. My brother is a ghost and he is always with you. Please let me see him, I want to see his face and know him, I have always wanted to see him
Alysia: Hmm, (Turns to Lydia and Kelly) Is he the real Duren? My bracelet doesn't blink but Who knows, evil can manipulate anything.
So Kelly, you can sense evil, is he real?
Kelly: He is real
Alysia: Postinur if he is real, reveal yourself, if he is not real stay invisible (Postinur reveals himself)
Postinur: Hey baby brother
Duren: Brother! (Runs to him as Postinur is at the end of the room) can I hug you?
Postinur: As far as I am revealed, you can
Duren: (tears rushed out from his eyes as he hugs his brother) Oh brother! I have missed you forever.
You look just like me, well, as expected more handsome
Postinur: (chuckles) And looking at you, one would think you are the eldest, because I don't age
Duren: Classic, too. Oh, I wish mother was here to witness this. (Disengages from him) But she is dead, killed by Diana who took the throne
Postinur: I know, I saw her dying
Duren: You saw her?!
Postinur: Yes, I always visit Lystra to see how you are both faring. I watch you grow too
Duren: You were with me even when I wished you were?
Postinur: Yes, I was
Duren: But why didn't you tell me about all this brother?
Postinur: I didn't want to expose you to danger. It was best that you were kept in the dark
Duren: No, It's best I know. At Least I have seen you, my biggest wish fulfilled!
Kelly: So touching!
Duren: Anyways, I came to alert you guys, seems like Lydia and The other guy is to be alerted too
Kelly: (walks up to Duren) I am prince Kelly, last prince of Crystal kingdom. I am a wizard too, half blood.
Duren: Wow, nice. I am King Duren, King of Lystra kingdom (they shake hands)
Since we all know each other now. Let me get talking.
Diana is dead, Cynthia killed her and made her go into exile
Alysia: Why is she dead?
Lydia: Isn't she supposed to battle Alysia or something? I mean, didn't the prophecy say that she would battle you, Aly and be an obstruction?
Postinur: This only means one thing. The prophecy is changing
Prince Kelly: Changing for our good?
Postinur: No. It is going quickly and bypassing rules just to be fulfilled. It is even going against itself. Thanatos wants to end the prophecy quickly
Alysia: Why is that?
Duren: I think because his light side is trying to dominate and over power his dark side
Kelly: We are not sure about that, we shouldn't let ourselves be caught unawares
Postinur: We will be on guard
Lydia: Duren already knows everything. He is now in danger and part of the battle
Duren: Meaning, I am in the team?
Alysia: We will decide that and give you news, later
Duren: Alright. I have somewhere to be now. I will have to go now
Kelly: Okay, King
Lydia: Goodbye
Alysia: See you later to tell you our decision
Duren: Sure. (Turns to Postinur and hugs him) Later brother
Postinur: Yes, King Duren (Duren smiles and leaves)
Duren on his way to Lystra by the chariot, his horse turned to the direction of the bush
Duren: I don't understand, where are you going to?
A Demon, second in command of Thanatos abducts him and takes him to the dark realm
