Sergey and Alex rush to the nearest headquarters. "Driver, fast," ordered Sergey. "That was the boss we had earlier met, are you 100 percent sure?"asked Alex. "You saw the image, what do you think," asked Sergey back. "They are picking us off one by one," said Sergey. Who is doing this? and why are they doing this? Sergey asked himself many questions that troubled him. "Did you find any plutonium in Wilmir?" asked Alex. "No, not in Wilmir. Not in the forests. We never ventured there," replied Sergey. "What must be the reason Alex?" asked a visibly disturbed Sergey. "The forests have their way. What way, that I do not know," replied Alex. "Are there such powerful creatures in the forests, capable of total destruction?" asked Sergey. "Yes, they have always had the power and strength. Never take the forests lightly," replied Alex. "What are you going to do now?" asked Alex. "Now we protect the bosses. Put them up in safe houses," replied Sergey. "That's it?" asked Alex. "Then we mobilize and then we shower them with bullets. Bullets that will fall from the sky. We will destroy Wilmir as we know it," replied Sergey. "Doesn't that go against the treaty," asked Alex. "Treaty? what treaty ? All agreements are off. They were off once I saw the boss tied up to the tree," replied Sergey. Alex nodded. "What next, what now?" asked Alex. "We reach the office, then have a joint conference with all the remaining bosses," replied Sergey. As the conversation progresses between the two of them, Sergey gets a call. "Sergey, Sergey," shouted the voice on the other end, "Run and hide," They are picking us off one by one! And the voice started to crack as the person on the other line spoke more words. "Sir,sir," Said Sergey. "I'm not able to hear you clearly, the line is going off," he said. And the line went dead. "Driver," shouted Sergey. "Faster! Faster!" "Sergey," said Alex. "How many bosses are there right now on the planet?" "I would say 10," replied Sergey. "Who was that?" asked Alex. "I think the main boss, District 1," replied Sergey. "Let's hurry," said Alex. As the car sped on the highway. A huge object came down flying from the sky and headed towards the car. And the passengers were unaware of the impending doom. There was a huge noise and explosion. A crash on the car. The crash sent the car flying down curbside, turning itself over a dozen times. There was fire all around the car. A hovercraft had crashed into the large SUV. Another fleet arrived, this time manned came down and landed beside the burning SUV. One shapeshifter got down from the craft, another one crashed into them jamming the car doors! The two shapeshifters broke open the already cracked doors. They then proceeded to retrieve the two passengers from the back seat. The driver was dead. They carried the two officials and loaded them in the place. Then the two shapeshifters got into the craft and flew away. That Night at the Kingdom Atticus went to the balcony, at the strike of midnight. He has been going to the balcony and waiting for the shapeshifter to meet him. He has done this everyday since he first met the shapeshifter and their conversation ended abruptly. Atticus waited for over an hour. No sight of the shapeshifter,yet again. I better head inside, thought Atticus. As he gasped his disappointment and headed inside. Atticus called out a voice. Atticus smiled and looked back, it was the same shapeshifter. "Hello," said Atticus. The shapeshifter wasted no time to get to the point. "Atticus," be ready. "He said," "Your time has almost come," the shapeshifter said. "My time?" asked Atticus. "My time for what?" asked Atticus. "Your time to become king," the shapeshifter replied. "What are you going to do?" asked Atticus. "We are going to kill the king," replied the shapeshifter without any hesitation. "The king, my father?" asked Atticus. "Do you have a problem with that?" asked the shapeshifter. "I do not care for for my father," replied Atticus whose evil side showed up once again. "But I do not know anything about being a king. I do not know anything about being a ruler. I'am m a simple engineer," replied Atticus once again. "You will be fine, we will guide you, and do not underestimate yourself. You are capable of great things," said the shapeshifter. "Will the people accept me, will the powerful people support me?" asked Atticus. "What about the queen?" he asked her. "What about her?" asked the shapeshifter. "She does not really like me. She has always been against me," replied Atticus. "We will take care of her," said the shapeshifter. "The prophecy must be fulfilled at any cost." "So you plan to kill her too?" asked Atticus. "We only do what is necessary," replied the shapeshifter. "That seems fair," said Atticus. "Son, there is nothing fair in you," the shapeshifter said. Atticus nodded. "Prepare yourself and be ready," said the shapeshifter. "I will," replied Atticus. The shapeshifter then went on to jump over to the roof and went away. Atticus stood alone in the balcony now, a big smile beaming over his face. The moon shone brightly and the cold breeze took over the palace. Atticus looked up to the skies. "It is a miracle indeed," he uttered. "!A bastard who turns into a king
