Chereads / Tsundun - Part 6 / Chapter 14 - Eyes

Chapter 14 - Eyes

Zeus rest in his bed at his home. He could not get up as he rested for days. His children were also heavily injured and visited his father broken. His eyes were gone and they knew that. There was no come back from that. Zeus had only weakness and it was his eyes. Once taken away from him. His eyes would never return. As his father lay rested, the children were scared that many of their enemies would come and attack them. But no one knew their location. Except the craft of thandibus. The location was marked in the craft and his son would surely come to attack them, once they come to know about the impairment of Zeus. Even Andrivil, the giant owl and the horse of Belvedyr would be of no match to the fighting powers of the elves.

Seronn sat with the company of Archimedes and Thronir. I have been here at Plithir decades ago, he said. They did not make much of it. I bought them here a light instrument, he said. The hylin wanted to go against Zeus and bring light to the planet, he continued. This time, he piqued the interest of them. What? asked the both of them. Yes, he said. They were tired of the tyrannical rule of Zeus and the hardships that the dwarves were going through. I was ready to do anything to go against my father, he said. Then what happened? asked Thronir. I don't know, he replied. The both of them sighed. It was Paragin who told me that they have disposed of the lighting instrument. I did not care after that, he said. Then this is the next time that I have come here, said Seronn. As they were sitting next to the fire, Paragin came flying down. He was a man with falcon wings, bird wings and claw like feet. The strength of Paragin was that he could easily carry a claw and the only defect he had was that he repeated himself many times. Exactly what he did this time. "Zeus lays without his eyes" Too many times that everyone was annoyed. "The Elves wait to kill him," he said and this got everyone curious. Elves, they wondered. What on Plithir are they planning to do to him, the elves? laughed Thronir. "The hylin are being readied to fight the elves here on Plithir," said Paragin. The elves, here said Thronir as he got up. How? he asked him. There is no light and how will the elves fight here? he asked. "There will be the sun for 10 days" said Paragin. Under the sun there will be no purple nor yellow, said Paragin. "Golden yellow, flaming yellow," said Thronir proudly as he lifted his axe up.

Paragin continued to repeat his verses. "In the end, there will be only one colour, yellow and purple will merge together," he said. "Flaming yellow" said Thronir. Paragin was going to fly away. No darkness for 10 days he said and flew away. The storm of Archimedes flew all over the planet. The elves? he asked Seronn. Yes, he replied. The elves!

Thronir, prepare everyone for war! said Archimedes. We need to end this all for once, he said. Wipe out them all, said Archimedes. And then the sun shall be yours, added Seronn who removed his mask and crushed it. He looked up at the skies and called for Yintir. Yintir, the rightful spear of the bastard of Zeus came into his hands. It is time to accept who I'am, he said. A god! Yintir gave him the uniform of a god. As he took on the uniform, the skies grew dark and heavy. The winds spoke of fear and despair. Tsundun looked at Archimedes the dark lord is here, he said!
