Chapter 68
(Attack at the castle, Pt 5 of 6)
Aaron Pov:
I was watching as the priest administered the medicine, but then Jake spat it out. Why would he spit out medic—. I can't continue to think as he grabs the priests throat and throws him into the ground.
Before I can say anything, Jake speaks, "You think I wouldn't notice poison? I have been poisoned before, no matter if it is un-smell-able, or un-taste-able, someone who has been poisoned before would notice. Who are you working for?"
What is he saying? The guards start to rush over as the door to the war room opens. "What in Exodus is going on out here?!," My father yells as I start to get up.
"We don't know sir, one moment the priest was healing and giving medicine to Jake. The next Jake had him on the ground accusing him of trying to poison him!," A knight tells my father.
"Release that priest now! How could you even know what poison tastes like? Also you are only a child!," My father yells marching over with the guards and Hunter.
"I know what poison tastes like due to my past experience. But why would a priest try to kill a child that he was supposed to heal is my question. I am sure you are curious as well, King Rex," Jake says still holding the priest down.
"If you need proof, cast a spell on that liquid to determine if it is poison. But I will not release the priest until that is determined," Jake says with cold eyes. When in the world did he get such, cold, eyes? How many men and monsters has he killed to achieve, That!
"Fine, who here knows a spell that can determine if something is poison?," My father asks. At that Meshu raises his hand, But father says, "Sorry, not you Meshu, you have a past with him." What does he mean by that?
Then another knight raises his hand, at that my father ushers him over. The knight then proceeds to cast a magic on the liquid from the bottle. The magic is Light magic, it can detect poisons and more along with other stuff. The liquid doesn't change even after the spell is cast.
"It seems you were wrong so release the priest, Jake," My father tells him as I stay on the couch panic stricken. At that moment I notice that my brother is still asleep even though all this commotion is going on. I look and notice the Emma is awake though.
When did she wake up and why is she not just doing something now? "Jake what are you doing? Get off that old man!," she yells hitting him.
"Did you cast a magic to disable illusions? If not do that because it could be a simple illusion set up. Because, why would my sister act like this, why would my brother stand still, and why is Theo still asleep after all this commotion," He says. At that I notice that he is right about everything.
"Cast an illusion disabler spell!," My father says and so Meshu casts it. At that everything changes, The liquid is shown to be purple! I notice that in fact all the knight's are knocked down on the floor, and in their places are assassins. "What the Kimer is going on here?!," My father yells confused. I notice that Meshu is the only knight left awake.
At that the assassins realize they have been found out and I realize the one Jake was holding was as well. Did they even actually heal Jake? Then they all go for our throats, but then something weird happens. A Blood curdling scream is shouted out by Meshu.
He disappears before appearing back in his place. An at the all of the assassins are blown back to everyone's surprise. Meshu is stronger than I expected?! In the end they restrain all of the assassins and rest the knights against the wall.
"Who are you exactly?," My father asks wanting to know who they are. This morning he was going to reward them for saving me, Theo, Henry, and Hannah from monsters. But now they just found out an illusion and poison that was being used.
"What do you think happens when you are forced out of your nation by enemies? When you are forced to survive in the only habitable place you can find, a dungeon! For two years while the average monster rank is around about C-B!," Jake says angry.
My father can't answer, neither can mom who is paralyzed at what had happened. The three sit back down on their couch as Jake falls unconscious. I then notice that his face is full of pain and hurt, was he never healed?
Emma and Hunter take quick notice, as does everybody else. "What happened?!," Meshu asks coming over urgently.
"It seems he never got healed and was just under the spell of the illusion. It seems the illusion was cast when the priest supposedly was healing him. Judging by that he is more hurt than before, we need to get him to the church immediately," Hunter says lifting him up carefully.
"Ok, but, no one will be allowed to leave the capital until we find out the cause of this. I want to figure out who wanted us all dead for some reason. Now go, and Meshu make sure no one leaves this City," My father says sternly as Hunter rushes off with Emma.
