Chapter 17 - The dark acres

Lawrence wanted the plan not to get screwed, he was wondering if kiich-ten heard what the man said back there at the palace.

Kiich-ten could be tricky you won't be able to read him through his face and he was so unpredictable. The rising sun was bright from the east, the queen liked this view she woke up every morning to see the sun rise up to her face.

She stood at a very special place at the palace which faced the sun. Lawrence approached his mother, who was looking directly at the rising sun. The queen remembers the fall of the rising sun, it was a very long time ago, when she was very young.

Her village of the dark acres, was under an attack that night. The magus titans wanted to eliminate threats and growing threat and the clan of the dark acres was one of them, they were a clan which broke out of the jegonee titans to for a coterie on their own.

The magus titan were the most feared and powerful titans, even the original titans fears them. What the magus titans feared the most are greater threats.

The black acres practice dark instincts which is so corruptible energy, if they build on it they would be incredibly invincible.

Zean was the daughter of the highest priest of the dark acres, Willmal. She was running with her father during the attack from the magus titans. The sky was dark from the evening they started the attack, it was already deep into the night and the dark acres army have all fallen.

Willmal, the high priest ran to the sacred grounds of the black acres to, the spirit will still live as long there is one last blood remaining. Zean was six years hold she had nothing to do just cry, the attack from the magus titan scared her.

"You are brave, take this. It is the key to the sacred ground of the dark acres, when you older get an offspring and build up the dark acres again." Said Willmal giving zean an object which was round in shape.

"stay alive when you see the rising sun it means salvation, it means go forward and forget your past. I know you would do it" said Willmal.

Suddenly there was a large explosion which was approaching zean and her father. Zean and Willmal ran away till the force dust from the explosion reached them.

Zean woke up the next morning and looked at the rising sun of the east. Before she knew it she realized she was the only one alive. She had to move on, she could find her father.

There was nothing to weep about, it won't bring them back. Lawrence went close to her mother who seemed to be meditating, Lawrence stood close to his mother but it was like she didn't feel his presence. "I never thought you would have time to think about something" Lawrence said to her mother.

It was at that point zean knew someone was at her side all this time, she came back to her sanities and turned to see who it was. "How long have you been standing here" zean asked. "For some minutes now, I didn't think I would see you here." said Lawrence.

"What's bring you here at this time of the morning, I hope it is something serious." Said zean. "It is about Kiich-ten, he was sneaking around when you were discussing with the seeker last night.

He said he couldn't hear anything, but I think he is lying, he is very cunning when he comes to that. I told him that he was the palace night guard." Said Lawrence.

"Lawrence do not worry, there is no force or power that can stop us from taking this city, soon this city will be ours and no one will dare contend with us." Said zean.

Kiich-ten woke up from his bed breathing heavily, he was just having those his unusual might mare of him seeing himself drowning in a huge sea. Kiich-ten always have that same dream almost every night.

Kiich-ten could still remember what he saw and heard last night and he know the only person that would believe him.

Kiich-ten went to the bath and after he wore his princely clothing and went outside to where princess vegian always like to walk early in the morning, kiich-ten went outside the palace to the garden arena, he could already see vegian from a distance.

Kiich-ten quickly hurried so he could get to her, vegian used her hands to feel the green beautiful flowers along the lawn of the palace, and she loves this part of the palace.

That is why she goes there every morning when the morning dew had already fallen on the lawn. Kiich-ten met vegian who was carried away by the beauty of the green flowers, vegian noticed kiich-ten presence and adjusted so he can fit in to the lawn tight space. Vegian knew something wasn't right now that kiich-ten approached her into a disturbing manner.

"Is everything okay?, or is it drowning dream again" said vegian. "No it is even worse than that" said kiich-ten.

"Then what is it?" said vegian. " the queen is planning an attack on the king but not like physical attack, it has to be something else, she was talking to a man, the man seemed dangerous, it was like he was using dark matter of something and I think Lawrence is part of this." Said kiich-ten.

Vegian looked around to see if anyone was around, she saw some guards around and held kiich-ten. "We will have to leave I will show you place we could go" said vegian. Vegian went as kiich-ten followed him, they went into an enchanted forest were the trees were different and very quiet, the grass beamed on the step they make on it.

"We have to stop whatever the queen is planning in doing. If we are too late, she might just been heading to the edge of her success, they are planning in taking over the kingdom." Said kiich-ten.

"Okay now this is what we are going to do, mom might also be doing her evil activities during the day time because we don't usually stay back during the day.

You will meet Elmael in spear town he know thing very well about dark matter and connection with the palace, he was one of the constructors of the palace.

We you meet him make sure you bow or you receive a large slap. He doesn't care if you are a prince, he is partially immune to royal punishments, and all the constructors are.

While me I will stay back to watch. They would be disturbed with my presence. Now go" said vegian. Kiich-ten left vegian heading to the spear town in jegonee city to meet Elmael, while vegian went for the palace.

Vegian reached palace seeing a strange man in the palace, it might be the man kiich-ten was talking about, and she knew the palace was supposed to be empty except from the maids and servants in the palace.

King Leo would be out to the ancient temple to seek the spirits of past kings. Lawrence would be out to see Nicora in the purple titan town, her mother would go to see a friend in a nearby town and kiich-ten was supposed to be up for his instinct trainning.But it turns out, that's not all that happens exactly, vegian moved in such a way she would not be seen either by the maids or by the strange man in the palace.

Vegian went close to the strange man, she saw that he was using dark matter or instinct. She thought they were all extinct.

And there were no more titans of the dark instinct, the man was controlling the dark instinct against a wall in the palace. Vegian hid behind a pillar to see more. The wall and inscriptions on it and the inscription seemed to be absorbing the dark instinct.

The man moved away from the wall and was walking away, vegian wondering whether the maids of the guard wasn't seeing this. Vegian followed him from behind but she still sneaked through the pillars.

The man noticed her movements and released the dark instinct towards her without vegian knowing. Vegian walked into the instinct while she was sneaking around from one pillar to another.

By the time she got out to move again she was seeing the palace the opposite way and she could not see the man again, she suddenly forgot about the man and went her own way. She was under a power influence that would that time before she finally come back to her sences.
