Chapter 11 - Chapter Eight: From The Shadows

After Obaka's leg was amputated, he and the rest of the Orcs were sent to the underground holding quarters where prisoners are held, meanwhile, Achillies returned to his palace and tended to his father who was on bed rest.

"I've returned, father".

 

"Good my child very soon, I'll take the throne again and it will be soon. I, King Achillies the first, shall reclaim the throne and then claim all of the lands. None of the other five Kingdoms will dare come close to us". He said he started coughing up blood.

"You shouldn't talk father. Save your energy and I promise to bring him… once I return". Achilles said.

His father nodded and closed his eyes to rest. Achillies left his father's side and headed to the underground holding quarters, meanwhile, Subaka and Nakia regained their consciousness.

"What the hell is going on… the last thing I remember is being… stabbed. I was for certain I would die on the spot". Subaka thought to himself, as he woke up covered in bandages.

"These humans dare to hold me captive".

Subaka turned his head to the right and saw Nakia held captive in a cell as well, however, she was chained up with her arms and legs stretched. Her upper body was exposed and her garments covering her lower half were torn.

"THOSE SICK ASSHOLES… YOU WILL PAY"! He yelled as he tried to break free from his cell.

"No need to yell Subaka. Our time will come when we must strike". Nakia said, breathing heavy.

 

"My sister, this is bullshit and you know it. Do not let the enemy take advantage of you"! Subaka yelled.

"Right now she has no choice, right now she's in the palm of my hand. I shall do as I please with her". Achillies said, walking in on them.

"The moment I step foot outside of this cell… is the moment your head will be decapitated and I'll make sure to feed them to the dragons". Subaka said, walking up to the cell door. 

Achillies started to laugh.

"I'd like to see you try, but I didn't come here to chit chat with the likes of you, I've  come for your leader". 

"Touch my brother and you're a dead man".  Subaka said, giving Achillies the death stare.

Achillies laughed as he continued strolling through the quarter until he reached Obaka's cell.

"Your just the little bastard I need to help restore my fathers health". 

 

"You're not ready for what is coming to you and I'll make sure to watch you beg for death by the time I'm done with you".  Obaka said, giving Achillies the death stare as well.

"You invaded my land, enslaved my people, and even had sexual intercourse with my wife by force, so just what the hell else do you want" ?

Achillies instantly laughed then he stopped  and smiled mischievously.

"Dont't worry yourself Orc… you will soon find out". 

He raised his hands, then snapped his fingers.

"Gather in my name… Mages appear before me".

 

Two mages appeared before the King.

"Yes, sire, you have summoned us"? 

"Yes. I want you two transporting this filthy Orc to my father and whatever you do, do not hesitate to request back up if need be". Said the King.

"Yes sire as you wish". The Mages said, as they began transporting Obaka to the King's father.

The Mages transported Obaka to the King's father, which took a very dark turn and to Obaka's aspect, an old face that brings back memories.

I honestly don't know what that damn human's intentions are at the moment, but I must find some way to escape this place. If I want to escape, I'd have to do so in a calm manner. When the time is right that is when we will strike.

 

As Obaka was brought before Achillies The First, he spoke and greeted him.

"Good day my fellow Orc. It has been quite some time since I've last seen you".

Just what in the hell did he mean by "it's been quite some time since I've last you", what is this dried up prune talking about. 

 

"You may not remember because it has been years… but you were a little Orc when we last had our encounter. You look just like your father". 

It all started to make sense now. All this time… I thought the little bastard was dead, but he's right here in front of me. He's old and washed up now, but… this son of a bitch… is the one who killed my parents.

 

"After all these years… and here I thought you were dead. Your kingdom will fall and I'll make sure of that". I said as I started to become angry. 

He slowly started to get up out of his bed and then walked over to where I was, and stood right in front of me.

"You must not remember who I am, boy". He said, as he backhanded me. 

"My son may have taken the throne, however, I still run this land from the shadows. I am the true King and whatever I say, is final. The other five Great Kingdoms will be within my grasp soon and you will be the one that helps me achieve that task".

The Mages forced Obaka on his knees and forced his mouth open.

"The time is now, sire, you have your chance to regain your youth". One of the Mages said. 

 

"Yes, now began the process". He replied as he put his hand on Obaka's forehead.

The Mages chanted a saying and soon afterwards, a white orb flew out of Obaka's mouth and went into the King's mouth. His body started to decay while the King's skin started to become smooth and his face looked younger again.

"Ahhhh, my youth is coming back and I must say Orc, thank you for your service". The King said as he started to laugh uncontrollably. 

Obaka layed on the ground lifeless as most of his life force is being drained.
