"How the hell is that filthy Orc still moving, didn't you amputate his leg"? The King asked, pacing back and forth.
"Yes… but somehow it's like he returned from the dead, with his body being unscathed". The Mage replied.
"Indeed, it was bizarre to see him walking on both legs". The King said as his pacing back and forth came to a halt.
While the King had stopped pacing back and forth, his son had entered the palace and kneeled before him.
"Father, I've -"
"My child, you have disappointed me". The King said angrily, cutting Achillies off.
"You had your Mages bring me the Orc, but you weren't here alongside them. Your whereabouts did not concern me, for you are a man and not a child, however, the moment I need you the most you are nowhere to be found".
"Forgive me father, it won't happen-"
"SILENCE"! The King yelled, as he backhanded Achillies.
"I do not need anymore failed promises. Bring me that Orc back or else, I will personally banish you from this Kingdom".
Achillies got up as he accepted the task that was given to him, in the meantime, Obaka made his way back to the Underground quarters, in order to share a special message to his brother.
"Brother, it is good to see you again". Subaka said, as he walked to his cell door.
"Listen brother, I have a plan in mind that will free us all however, it may sound crazy at first, but you will see the bigger picture once things start to unfold". Obaka said.
"Alright, tell me brother, what do you have in mind"? Subaka asked.
"According to what the King was blabbering about earlier when I was taken to him, he stated that there were other "great kingdoms" and how he somehow wanted to be all powerful and control everything. It seems as if there are other large kingdoms out there beyond our knowledge however, if these other kingdoms are truly Austria's enemy, then we should work on forming an alliance with them. With joined forces, we can bring Austria to its knees and reclaim our land and freedom. In order for this to work, I'll venture out searching for the other kingdoms, but inform every other Orc. The time shall come when we will declare war and when that day comes, it shall be a new tide".
"It sounds like a solid plan brother. I will relate this to the others, also, I shall take care of Nakia. You can count on me". Subaka said.
Obaka leaves the quarters discreetly as he steals a horse and makes an exit towards the Kingdom's gates.
I entrust everything to you brother… until I return.
