Kiich-ten held himself back as he was been put on heavy chains, not just any chains but the one that prevent titan from using their instinct and rally energy.
Nicora sat close to him still in the same chains, Nicora found this totally insane that what kiich-ten was saying about the palace was true. They were being caged like they were dangerous titans. It was like they had forgotten that kiich-ten was a prince. He had his princely cloth abused, the guard were like people who were been brain washed.
With the guards against them there was no how he and vegian would be able to stop the dark acres. He was already wondering how all that Centralis said about him would come true, there has to be something, kiich-ten was already thinking positively.
He thought even if he would not see anything that can make him escape from the chains. He knew that there was nothing that could make him escape the chains. Nicora was looking quiet and speechless, she never thought she was going to get into something like this but she is already beginning to have some tip of the palace's secret.
Kiich-ten kept on moving his arms from left to right thinking maybe the chains would just snap and he would be free. But he has not yet thought of escaping the four jegonee titan guards standing in front of the cell. Kiich-ten then remembered vegian and thought she might also be in danger because he can't be here when she would be in the palace unless she was been captured. Kiich-ten got angry and began to pull the chains with more force.
He knew it was of no use pulling the chains but he kept doing it. "It's useless, we are not getting of the place." Nicora said in a low voice of discouragement, kiich-ten didn't think that much but he just wished he could just get out.
After a while Lawrence kept running towards where kiich-ten and Nicora was kept. He was looking surprised to see Nicora inside but kiich-ten knew it was a fake. Lawrence quickly ordered one of the guards to release Nicora, Lawrence didn't give kiich-ten a look, he just acted like he wasn's there.
Nicora first showed sign of resisting but kiich-ten gave her a sign approving that she should go. Kiich-ten just wanted the incident of how she got to be captured to subside, the plan was for him only but it was so unfortunate Nicora followed.
Nicora stood up after been released from the chains, she went toward Lawrence like she still had the affection. Lawrence thought his surprise rescue would blind Nicora of what was actually going on but he never knew the she knew everything and she was already part of the plan in fighting the dark acres.
"sorry I heard you were being locked up here. it was a mistake, let me get you inside the palace and cleaned up." Lawrence said moving quickly to avoid other further questions, he would be expecting her to ask why kiich-ten was been locked up. But he thought he would scale through.
The cage was lock again leaving kiich-ten behind the bars. Nicora left following Lawrence out, kiich-ten was now beginning to think that there would be a way out. Lawrence treated Nicora like she was been handled inappropriately but his question on how she got to kiich-ten would be what Nicora want to expect Lawrence to ask.
"why was kiich-ten locked up in the cell, he was been captured like he was a criminal, did he do something wrong?" Nicora asked she was sitting down in the comfort of Lawrence chamber, Lawrence was not close to Nicora but he wanted to escape the question but he thought it would only be suspicious of him.
"you know? my mother she does not want her rules to be broken, she thought maybe he might have disclosed some information about the royal family to the spear town, but I don't really know why but he would be held there till my mother wants his release.
Take eat something you must be hungry." Lawrence said stretching out his giving her a plate of food to eat, Nicora who had been hungry and haven't eaten anything after the attack from the mutated titan in the underground city drained her strength.
She took the food without hesitation and began to eat. After a while Corius, the palace physician entered into the chamber without signaling his entrance. Nicora had alrealdy gone deep in her eating and it seems like she didn't know herself anymore, Lawrence was very angry but he didn't wanted to shout at the old man, he was given a lot of respect for his wisdom.
It was said he never made mistakes and he always had a reason for doing his things. "I am here to remove the effect of the blinding fumes from her like you wanted me to do because that's why you summoned me earlier, sorry I could come much more earlier but I had things on my desk." Corius said still given Lawrence a little respect by giving him a small bow as he spoke his words.
"Actually I didn't want you to remove the fumes but okay you can if it have an effect on her" Lawrence said, "what fumes? Nicora asked confused, she spoke like she didn't know what was happening, she had forgotten how she even got to the Lawrence chamber in the first place. "you would be fine don't worry, corius here is our physician, he will just make sure you are okay and fine. Just follow him he will make sure you get better. Trust me" Lawrence said convincing NIcora who had just been brain washed.
Nicora following corius out of the chamber and was heading towards Corius place in the palace. Corius turned after he noticed that they were had gone far away from Lawrence chamber, he gave a small soft substance telling her to swallow it.
Nicora looked at it, it was looking like something that shouldn't be swallowed and she didn't know that it was. She kept on reasoning they haven't gotten to the place perhaps should be where he would begin to treat her. Nicora swallowed it slowly and discovered that it was tasteless, she sudden began to convulse bringing out liquid from her mouth.
Corius quickly carried her into the therapeutic room close by. The king arrived the palace wanting to see kiich-ten, the queen quickly approached him. She knew want was going on and the king is out of update of what had happened in the palace after his absence, it was now the part of the plan to would involve the king.
"kiich-ten is not available right now, he should still be out there exploring but outside that you should go see the circle been guarded by the pillars, you should pay some respect to your ancestors they are speaking again, it kept glowing when you were away." The queen said seriously.
"The pillars have not been awoken for a very long time, going there wouldn't mean anything and why do you even want me to go there in first place tell me is one of those your trick again" the king sounded,
"But it wasn't a coincidence that the circle beamed earlier today." The queen muttered. "I would want to see it myself." King leo said walking away from her. where are you Lurock, the queen thought in her mind, the roots where under the circle and it was supposed to beam the time she was talking to king leo.
Lurock saw himself on the vast air space falling over a long distance, the impact of vegain's echo wave power pushed him hitting destroying several roots, vegian moved strategically, she knew the lurock's dark instinct power moved in a specific direction which makes her to predict his next attack.
Her veins were glowing orange, she was at the peak of her powers. Lurock got up and did a multi duplicate dark clones which surrounded her. vegian was able to locate her whip and swung it spirally around her jumping to prevent any further attacks.
She was the head of the army of the Jegonee titans, she knew all the tactics of war and a single fight. The clones kept unleashing dark instinct attack towards her which she defended and killed some which turned into dust each time she kills a clone, the clones became very much and were about a hundred, she threw her spike whip which went flying killing all the clones in a single hit, the dust became like blinding fumes preventing the other clones from seeing clearly.
She ran into their mist and absorbed a large mass of air and suddenly she gave a loud scream emitting powerful echo waves which eliminated all the clones except the original.
When she saw the original while still emitting the echo wave she converged the waves with her hands and directed it to him quickly. The spear waves met him and pushed him hitting other roots till he finally reached the one under the pillar.
They were under the pillars, he just needed to activate the root of the tree with the red blood, vegian jumped towards him and got caught but a dark instinct root which tied her up. Lurock went towards her and cut out some blood out of her and turned some of her blood on the roots under the pillars of the circle.
While outside the circle began to glow and the king saw it from the top of palace where he was. Meanwhile lurock noticed that vegian's blood was not what he was looking for.
"you are not the red blood, this incursion will not last, oh no." Lurock said in fear. Vegian who was close by began to transform into her titan and began to destroy the roots which tied her up, Lurock began to look as she was transforming and also given out a large scream. He didn't wanted get into her rilla space to avoid being burnt up.
King leo was already standing on the circle surprised that his ancestors were still alive and he would be able to communicate with them directly, he thought.
One of vegian personal guard who was close to where king leo had an object that could detect vegain's extreme scream meaning that she was transforming and also close by, the object was a box like object that kept vibrating.
Rean could not tell where it was coming from but it seemed very close. Suddenly the ground began to crack under him. he was the first to noticed it, he thought it was something else. The ground kept cracking and expanding, Rean was beginning think what it might be.
