In Segund
The upper room is a deserted area, very secretive and hostile to normal people. Special guards and officials operate there.
It is a intense mystery and tale to the people, some say the king communicate with spirits of their ancestors and some say every of the kings secret is hidden there.
Everyone have different opinion about the upper room.
The ancient and hostile writings and drawings on the walls illustrate past events and special words of past kings.
The figure walked smartly as he approached the door. According to the rules and regulations no one is allowed to knock on the door except the royalties, one should only announce their presence by Identifying their name.
"It is me, Liam.
"Come on in. What is it, Liam. Sirocco asked.
"Kensia has refused to let us dig a well across their border. Unless we pay tax.
It is said that the part where our water stays in the well is also contaminated and a new well will be dug in kensia. He explained and bowed his head indicating the end of his statement.
"Nonsense! He screamed.
Sirocco stood up in fury.
"Proud guts...how dare those rats?"
Send words to the commander of the army to march ten thousand soldiers down to kensia. Now!! He screamed.
"That wouldn't be necessary sirocco, we need them for better purpose withdraw your hand from going to battle with kensia, for we must prepare well for Hills. Said the king.
Sirocco calmed after hearing his words.
"How wise of you, your majesty ... We needn't go to battle with those morons. Said sirocco.
Liam stood still with his head faced to the earth.
"There's more my king... He announced.
"Go on..."
The marine senior officer reported that more than a hundred and fifty people lay without life in them beside the water.
He also said that the water not only harms when taken inside the body but also cause skin irritation and terrible rash which can also lead to death. He emphasized on how wide and serious the situation is at hand and he request your intervention my king...he bowed and said that's all my king.
" Liam you shall go back and say to him,that the king orders the water to be out of bounds to the people and anyone without the royal stamp should not be allowed there.
"Very well your majesty,I shall say to him all that you've said, I will take my leave.
He bowed and walked out.
"Sirocco isn't there a spell or chant to make our waters clean again,is there not anything you can do. The king asked.
"I'm afraid there isn't. We can only comply with kensia terms until we find nakir and have him clean the water.
"That cursed snake... where shall we find him?. He asked. Just tell me I will have a thousand hefty men to seize him.
He said aloud with fury in his eyes.Sirocco walked to the window and dropped the curtains down and locked the door.
He proceeded to the candle place and lit them up and arranged the spell requirement.He put four candle in the cardinal directions of the room, one in the east,one in the west,one in the north and one in the south,he poured the water containing nakir's venom on the floor while the king watched him.
Sirocco drew four symbols on the ground with chalk and on each symbol he dropped a pinch of salt on. He wrote in strange letters and symbols.
The writings goes this: we seek him. Let us find him. He repeated the last one saying help us find him. He then placed a mirror right beside the writings and touched the salt,he dropped on the symbol with his five fingers on the left. He wiped the mirror with the same hand.
The mirror became clear and showed nakir's bronzed body laid beneath the rock he placed it.Sirocco had a confused look on his face, the king noticed it.
Several thought ran through his mind not sure of what could make sirocco wear a confused look. He watched him closely, every facial expression and movement sirocco made he noted.
Sirocco watched nakir's body for a long time hoping he would make any movement,he wanted to beat him at his own game. Sirocco waited patiently for nakir's body to twitch but it didn't, it didn't twitch or itch. Nothing.
He picked up the mirror and threw it on the wall it shattered into a million pieces. He put out the candles and scattered the symbols. Fury burn inside him.He opened the windows and sunlight filled the room. The king got up and walked to where sirocco stood.
"Say something...he said looking directly into his eyes. "What did you see in the mirror. He asked.
"I saw him. He said and tried to control his temper because he's talking to the king.
"I saw nakir.
"Where is he?" The king asked confused.
"He is under a rock, in a bush...
"And..
"Your highness,I can't seem to understand the tricks nakir is playing. The mirror shows his body bronzed like he is somewhat dead.
"Perhaps he wants us to think so. The king said.
"You're right my king. Perhaps he wants us to think so and hide himself for a while,so that he may come upon us again unaware... that awful creature. Said sirocco with disgust.
"How do we catch him now...
"I suggest we send Liam to Mondo and bring his body. I'm certain that nakir will show up if we do that.
"That's an excellent suggestion sirocco, we'll put that into action now. Said the king.
