Chapter 31 - Once in a thousand years

Dojan and only a few warriors made it back from the war, they were not ready to tell the fire lord what had happened but what happened back there was incredible and shocking.

Dojan had heard stories about the mages and their glowing eyes and their usual entrance with dust and fog. It was so uncertain that one mage brought the entire war to an end, killing almost all the flame soldiers within a short time, the attack was sudden and unexpected the mages which was said to have abandoned the earth came to rescue the earth zogans of the attack.

All the warriors who had survived including Dojan came kneeling in front of the fire lord, they knew the more they held on to it the worse the situation will be.

Zukan looked at them and discovered that Xextovia wasn't among them who were on their knees, he didn't wanted to asked how they were been defeated even with all the brilliant plan they came up with.

"Can someone speak to me or you all want me to kill you all." Zukan sounded from his mighty throne. No one was ready to speak at that moment, Dojan looked at them all and took it upon himself, he stood up boldly and went towards Zukan with so much courage.

"our plan was going smoothly and we had already attacked Vedendia from every side, we were nearly close to victory but we still couldn't have sight of the princess before the worse happened.

The entire battle ground was covered by a dark fog, not just any dark fog but the fog of a mage. We couldn't see anything but our men were been killed by the mage, I was able to tell it was only one mage. We couldn't stand a chance to attack the mage, the zogan saw the opportunity to fight back, it was like they could see through the fog and Xextovia was killed by a storm lord, they was nothing remained of him except his ashes.

The mage killed all the Drax and thousands of our men. We were helpless. Do you have anything to say about it father?" Dojan could see the fear in the eyes of Zukan when he heard him mention mage, Zukan could remember his last encounter with the mages not just one but the five fused to become one, it was a fight between kizakee the fused mage and the elementalist before the creation of the Alodii.

It was a fight that the elementalist won but Zukan suffered a lot when he tried fight against them. "Leave us" Zukan sounded, and the other warriors left Dojan and Zukan there.

"the worse is here, I knew this would happen. I could feel it but I wasn't sure, Dojan do you know what this era means, it means the mages have returned and when they return nothing stops them, the only person who could hinder their will was the elementalist and the elementalist is no more, the mages could decide to be good and be bad.

Their will is unquestionable, though still protectors of the earth. But there is something, an object created a long time ago during the first curse of the mages, a time when the red city was capable of doing anything, and a time when the world was covered with mystical creatures with shared lands with the elementals.

The light elves, sun elves, moon elves and the dark elves were one of those mystical creatures. These where creatures of wisdom but the dark elves were the superiors.

The dark element wanted the dark elves to join them because of their powers but they refused. The elves were the first inhabitants of the earth alongside with humans, before the time humans were gifted by the Loy and before the coming of the titans, they were the only being which used magic. The fire element brought the existence of the dark elves and the other elves to an end. But with them the red city could form a dagger out of the magic still in their graves, with the application with the direct current from the red lightning which appear once in a thousand years. We borrowed gigantic coils from the electric element, the coils were capable of absorbing and attracting lightning from the sky.

This was what the electric element use to store a huge amount of electric power which they used to supply other elements and also haul, but use of the coils we borrowed was to absorb the red lightning a lightning of concentrated energy and curse powers.

But the story of the red city killing the elves was not entirely true it was just a made up story so that other elements would fear the fire element. It was the mages that put them under a spell of eternal sleep.

The coils were placed on the circle of lexrel where the elves were buried asleep. If they could collect the red lightning and the joins with the magic that still revolves in their graves. From there with the help of the dwarves the dagger was formed with the combination of the red lightning and the elves magic.

The dagger capable of killing a mage was formed. Capable to quench immortality." Said Zukan, who was still sitting on his throne.

"so what is the point of all this, do you still have that dagger." Dojan asked, "that is a very clever question, I still have the dagger, it was given to me by my father three thousand and fifty years ago. Before I became fire lord." Zukan said.

"but it is still useless even though it's useful, you will just get knocked down before you even think of your next move, do you want me to kill the mage with the dagger that will be insane." Dojan said.

"there is always a way, come let me show you. The dagger does not need a direct contact to kill its victim, the mages where not only the immortals at that time, all those immortal beings at that time was been killed by this dagger and now the mage is what it left."

Zukan stood up from his throne going towards the wall, when he came close to the wall, he pushed a brick in the wall inside and a small potion came outside like a small case, it was a another secret lock and he had combinations which he had to do like a puzzle to open the case.

He did the combinations and the case went open, he brought out the dagger which was golden and had glowing red lines around it, Dojan could feel the power of the dagger from where Zukan held it.

Zukan dropped it immediately, the power was do much for him however he wasn't worthy. Dojan looked at the dagger as it burnt Zukan's hand. Dojan went down and picked the dagger up, suddenly he absorbed the magic of the red lightning and he eyes glowed red fire.

Zukan looked at him with disgust and in affirmation. "they also spoke of the kind of people to control the dagger using the infinite flames when the was dagger create. So you are the infinite lord you mother was talking about." Zukan said moving his right hand quickly forming a fire spear out of his hands. Dojan dodged it and held his hand and the spear Zukan formed quenched suddenly.

Zukan noticed the unusual action that happened to him when Dojan held his hands. Zukan was unable to haul fire. Dojan brought out the broken dagger the saw which his mother's statue was holding and the broken piece he stole from Zukan's chamber.

Zukan was surprised he moved swiftly towards Dojan, Dojan moved his foot giving Zukan a slight push but the Impact was great this made Zukan to sink into the wall after he went with a great force.

Dojan first joined the broken dagger which attached itself suddenly and the then joined the two daggers together. And it turned into a long sword, Zukan watched it happened in front of him. "maybe you lied of the fact that it was a dagger, but sorry mother already told me the real story, and I will resurrect the dark elves again." Said dojan, he looked at Zukan who was trying come out of the wall.

Dojan threw the sword and it stabbed Zukan which disintegrated him quickly and nothing was left except his burnt skeleton. "your era ought to have died a long time ago but now I am the fire lord now." Dojan said.

Kial flew across the sky towards vedeania's floating mountains. He knew the world now knows the mages have returned. Long the time when they all thought that mages abandoned the world were over.

But he also knew the mages will use the chance of when he put on his mage eyes to find him. it was still dark and kial still had his mage eyes put on and he needed to reach the floating mountains which had a similar revolving spell he can use to reverse back the eye.

Suddenly kial was pushed down with a force that came from his left. He didn't know what it was but he was already beginning to guess it was a drax if not a mage.

He couldn't see what hit him. he was floating looking at nothing, he moved his hands moving it like he was opening a door, it was a recurrence spell to equalize if a mage was using the blinding spell borrowed from the hypnosis kemesis, known as "luya lukal". Then the hidden mage came into view, it was Yitsu. Kial turned and saw that all the other mages were already surrounding him, they were all holding the chain of Makrel capable of locking immortals in an eternal trance.

Kial was already calculating his next move. Kial attempted to move and he discovered he was already locked in a block domain, all the mages turned around kial and began to lock him. he knew it was his end, kial looked up as he was been tied up he couldn't cast any spell from the domain, he was helpless.
