Chereads / The Silver-haired Agatus(The Lost Kingdom) / Chapter 4 - CHAPTER 4: The Fall

Chapter 4 - CHAPTER 4: The Fall

Pentagon...

"No!!!"

Boom!!!

Raul's strike shook the Pentagon resulting in many mortals dismissing. Others were able to flee but everything was lost.

They turned back to the mortal realm and Lucian was no way to be found. Pentagon was almost destroyed for the impact had weakened it.

The guardians and gods had won the battle. Victory was smiling at them as they rejoice but not everyone was happy with the outcome.

"Raul!!" Kali called out his name.

Raul turned to face Kali only to be hit in the face and fall to the ground.

Raul was filled with rage as he stood up to confront Kali.

"You fool, you always act without thinking. Look around you, you almost destroyed us all" Kali reproached him.

"What is wrong with you Kali, darkness and chaos almost destroyed everything and I couldn't just stand there and watch as our guardians and mortals fall victim to their power can I ?" Raul screeched.

"Your actions could have destroyed the Pentagon and everything Father created including our brother Lucian" Kali stated.

"Our brother? Huh do not speak of such a thing ever again, he stopped being our brother the moment he questioned the authority of our father and rebel against him" Raul commanded.

Kali frown at his response and chuckled.

"You act almighty because you think you are better than us. Honestly, you are not Raul, you are just another guardian like all of us who are bound to make mistakes" he said to Raul.

"Nonsense!!" Raul yelled and his voice echoed.

"A Guardian never makes a mistake rather they fall. I am the protector of the realms and when I called to ensure its safety I do it with everything I got and you should do the same brother" his words were as sharp as a knife.

They understood what his words meant and what they stand for.

"Those who were meant to die today did bad those who were supposed to be alive are and that ends it" he added.

He stepped closer to Kali with just a foot apart. Their intense look at each other electrifying energy around them.

"That is enough you two" Paxive ordered.

He separated the two with his divine powers, lifting Kali with a touch of water and Raul, the wind pulled him further.

"This isn't the time for this. We have won the war but the person in question is nowhere to be found. So you two get your act together and let's get to the bottom of this" he informed them.

Their expression changed. They ordered their steps and positioned themselves to face Paxive.

Paxive on the hand was quite irritated by their foolishness that he could not ignore it anymore and pulled one on them.

From the start, he believed there was something odd about the battle. He couldn't put his finger on it and so he was reluctant to Join in on the fight.

But he was he to ignore the orders of his father and now looking around him, he was sure that this was just the beginning.

And most importantly their father(the supreme) knows.

"He ran away after causing so much harm to us and the mortal realm. Such cowardice is appalling and detestable". Raul commented.

"Pentagon has reached its limit we must go now and seek an audience with Father (the supreme) on what to do with Lucian" Paxive suggested.

They nodded in agreement and ordered the others to do the same.

Meanwhile, the demons we subdued, and the mortals who survived went on to their respective kingdoms to report their defeat.

Unknowingly some villages and towns were destroyed by the divine strike made by Raul.

Dead bodies flooded across the lands. Small villages and towns vanished into thin air and the strong kingdoms encountered minor damage.

Kingdom of Amira...

The neigh of horses could be heard as the warriors ride as fast as they can to the castle to report their tragedy.

The clip-clop of the horses halted as the few warriors stood in front of the castle.

They hopped off their horses and announced their presence and entered.

Seated were the crown prince with his younger brother and sister. Their mother is dead a few years back due to childbirth that took both her and the child.

They had their uncle by their side and their father's officials. They bow before them and felt their heart heavy with guilt and anger.

They were seven warriors who came back at the orders of King Kael before his death.

They did not witness his death but they believed it was a painful death as he was swept away by the big wave of wind and thunder that shove everyone closer to Raul.

"Speak" King Kael's first son commanded.

"My prince we deserve to die by your hands as we stood and watch our king being shattered into pieces before our eyes but all we could do was run" the commander pleaded.

The prince was horrified by the sudden news and stood up. He felt as needle-sharp bolts shot through his shoulders, his teeth clenching so hard his jaw ached. His body trembled and sweat dripped down his forehead as he groaned.

He tried to control his emotions, but imagining how his father might have felt while being shredded into pieces sent another pain making him feel dizzy.

He inhaled as he clutched onto the table in front of him his vision went dark and fell back into his seat again.

The guards were fast enough to hold onto him as he fell in his seat.

"My prince!!" They yelled simultaneity.

Worried by the sudden appearance of their brother, the young prince pleaded with his brother to have some rest but he refused.

"This battle has taken a toll on us all and we can not take it lightly. Summon the four genies, this war has just begun" The first prince ordered and brought the meeting to an end.

The Four Genies were known as mystical creatures who were neither gods nor mortals but are creatures who can foresee the past, present, and future.

It was believed they we sent by The supreme to help guide mortals to find their paths.

The six kingdoms also suffered many losses. Four kings lost their lives, King Kael of Amira, King Louis of Calcie, King Faustus of Haitian, and King Kaleen of Kalien.

Unfortunately, the three kings had no heir to their throne and so the kingdoms were left without their kings.

The trumpet of Avion was sounded and everyone living creature in the three realms heard of it and knew what it stood for.

Days passed and Lucian was no way to be found. His power and title as the ruler of the demon realm were taken from him by The supreme.

It was said to all the gods and guardians of Lucian's demotion to a wanderer.

A wanderer was known as a powerless demon who doesn't belong anywhere in the three realms.

Unfortunately, Lucian's influence had soiled the minds of some of the mortals.

Days turned into months and months into years. Kingdoms left without kings were later subdued by other kingdoms and became slaves to them.

The kingdom of Amira was one of the kingdoms that stormed other kingdoms and rule over them. It led to the expansion of their kingdom and later known as the royal kingdom of the mortal realm.

The kingdom of Satvion placed second to them and since then has been rivals.

The wastelands were known as barbarians who entertained themselves with fighting pits (gladiator fights), hunting, and sex carnivals.

They fought was axes and spears and wore animal skin clothing specifically wolves and bears.

The lands of mortals were tainted with blood, greed, and blasphemy for years and slavery was their main source of thriving.

New kings, new kingdoms, and new rules. Prosperity bloomed in the lands of the three kingdoms that stood strong after the battle later known as "The Avion War"

The three kingdoms allied and together they rule the world of the mortals later due to civilization were called humans.

The gods and guardians chose to ignore them as punishment for their rebellion.

The humans cared less about them and did their things. Fought and killed their people and bought them as slaves to do their bidding.

Kingdom of Amira…

After King Kael died his first son Orien was made king and his bloodline was to succeed him.

He reign for years and conquered many lands and after his death, his first son Labyrinth was made king.

People opposed it but he never backed down and made himself king. His brutality was known by many but he brought prosperity to the kingdom so no one opposed him.

He called for a meeting and invited King Leon of Satvion and Amastan of the wastelands known as the faceless king.

He threw a party in honor of them. As they sat at the long table filled with different kinds of foods and wines, they were greeted by beautiful and naked women who were dressed in silver and gold chains on their necks and waist.

Their breast bouncing attracted the men at the table and grabbed them with force. The ladies giggled and sat on their laps to entertain them and the music played.

Later...

Labyrinth took his two dear friends to his meeting chamber and had a conversation with them.

"I called you here not just for parties and drinks but for an urgent matter which needs to be discussed" he revealed.

"Prof, I like parties more" Amastan snorted.

Labyrinth and Leon laughed at his silliness.

"It's no laughing matter Amastan, I consulted with the four genies and they revealed something I believe I must share" Labyrinth's words were calm but sharp.

Leon and Amastan became focused and serious.

Nowhere in the world...

In a dark and gloomy place filled with rocks and sand, creepy creatures spread their wings in the sky as they scream and wail.

In a small cave, stood a man with long black hair wearing white and transparent clothing revealing his sculptured muscles.

His face was covered by his black hair and suddenly a heavy wind blew across his face and revealed his divine face.

An unexpected guest stood behind him and he smiled for he recognised the person behind him.

He sighed and turned to face the guest.

"You should stop appearing out of the blue, for I may doubt your intentions brother," he said to the guest.

"Finally you have revealed your true self Lucian, it is funny how the most beautiful creature created by the supreme is living like a thief" The guest stated ironically.

Lucian took a step closer to the guest, with their face so close to each other he said;

"Am I beautiful in your eyes Kali"

He smiled.

"Do not call me Kali, I like my new title better; the king of the demon realm and yes you are beautiful but get your face off my face" he ordered.

Lucian pulled away and stroke his hair and suddenly frown.

"It's time and I have been waiting for far too long"
