Chapter 27 - CHAPTER 26 : Once I'm king

 Dru watched the monster's body fall to the ground . He was in severe pains. 

 " Are you all right? " Rian asked 

 " Apart from the pain on my shoulder, I know I'm fine . Let's keep walking , your highness " Dru suggested. Ryan helped him up and supported him while walking. 

 " Falcon " Rian called for his horse and it appeared almost immediately " Get us out of here " Rian ordered and mounted the horse alongside Dru . Right before their very eyes, the labyrinth started to move, the walls and structures were changing. " Falcon, go!! " Rian shouted, the labyrinth was the maze . Falcon was running in an unbelievable speed. " Turn right " Rian gave directions " make a left " he ordered again. Dru writhed in pain, it felt like the wound was burning up. 

 " The door Falcon, go for the door " Rian ordered, the door was about to close when Falcon, Dru and Rian slid through it . The next sight they were greeted with was a green scenery. 

 " Aaaah " Dru cried out in pain. Rian turned to look at the injury in his shoulder, it was bad . There was already a hole in his shoulder due to the burning. 

 " You're burning up " Rian noticed after he touched Dru " I can't leave you like this " Rian sat in the ground and began to cast another spell in hopes that it would heal Dru " Exfloiaer embellrn upstera, siminu upstera " The spell did work but it didn't have much effect on the wound .

 " Young master " Falcon called and when he got Rian's attention he said " We should keep going, the seers might be able to heal him, they posses dark magic , remember? " 

 Dru, with the help of Rian mounted the horse, while Rian held Falcon's reins as they walked. Suddenly, they could hear loud drums beating, ethereal voices whispering . " w-what's h-happening ?" Dru managed to ask stuttering 

 " There's someone here " Falcon noticed 

 " Show yourself " Rian commanded 

 " His royal highness , Prince Rian Forryos, third prince of Ashty kingdom " an invisible being spoke , only its voice could be heard 

 " Show yourself if you know you're not a coward " Rian dared whoever was speaking to him 

 " What are you doing in the valley of Ragno? " the person became visible. It was an old man with the mark of an axe on his forehead. The man was dressed with yellow and red apparel. As he spoke, the other seers came into view. They all wore the same apparel and they were all old. 

 " I come to inquire " Rian answered truthfully 

 " Your father banished us from the outside world and he put a monster to prevent us from escaping " Another man spoke 

 " The Minotaur no longer lives, it has been slain " Rian added and the men looked surprised 

 " What makes you think we can trust you? " The old man with the mark of an axe on his forehead asked . As Rian was about to answer the question, Dru groaned loudly in pain 

 " Please, my soldier was bitten by the Minotaur. Help him " 

 " Why? " the man asked again 

 " He could die " 

 " Your father left us here to die as well "

 " I am not my father " Rian objected 

 " But you are still his son. There's no need for unnecessary arguments, we are unable to help you " they all turned to leave 

 " I could help you reinstate your status if you give me the answers to what I'm looking for "

 " And how do you intend to do that? " The man asked without turning 

 " Once I become king of Ashty "
