"What is going on here, is that king Cirius" Terror asked with his mouth agape looking at King Cirius with shock, not believing his eyes, he had encountered many monsters and beast, but King Cirius was unlike any he had seen, this was no beast or monster, standing now In front of the castle is a demon.
"Yes it is, now time to complete the job, so you can be paid",Aidan said drawing his sword and joining the battle.
Standing from afar and watching was Terror he didn't have good feeling about this but he joined in anyway wanting his full payment.
Barging in soldiers head with his bare hands, Cirius kept killing soldiers, he turned his head and saw Aidan,
"My lord" Aidan said smiling, happy that his standing at his king side once again.
"Forget about me, go into the castle and kill anyone that will oppose me for the throne" Cirius said with a smile to his face as the soldiers by Gilhelm side is reduced to only 6.
Aidan dragged Terror along and they ran into the castle, they killed all the guards standing at the castle door, as they ran in, the nobles were running Helter skelter.
#####
Cirius stood looking at Gilhelm, whose tired of fighting with his head down, right there in his front of his eyes, were all his soldiers dead.
"Why Cirius" he asked with tears in his eyes.
"I've always wanted to know how it feels to rule an entire Empire, but let's be sincere, you are to weak for the throne, you even fear the king's under you, you are so cautious. You will die today, and you will see from the other side how to rule an empire" he said lifting Gilhelm up, opening up his wide jaws, and bite down on Gilhelm's head, and throwing away the body, and blood splattering all over the floor.
He walked into the castle with his shoulder raised high and his mouth were dripping with blood, Veticus by his side.
Inside throne room he saw everybody on their knees, the Emperor's advisors, the queen and her daughter by her side. He walked straight to the throne, with everyone's head bowed down, with Aidan and Terror pointing swords to their throats. He tried to sit down but the throne was too small for him, so he stood instead.
"Prepare a speech, I will like to talk to the 26 kings, And I need preparation for my coronation" He said with his eyes glinting red.
"You can't rule, many come before you in line to the throne, you aren't fit, and the crown will never fit your head" queen Cecilia said still sobbing from her husband's demise.
"Well I know, that is why, I will start killing those that come before me, Terror is it, take Princess Vera and kill her, and when you are done come and take your balance." he said smiling.
Terror did as he was ordered, he picked up the princess, Cecilia resisted, but Aidan gave her a powerful slap across the face, that made her fall to the floor, but she never gave up, she got up still dragging her daughter. Cirius looked over to Veticus who chanted a spell, paralyzing the queen instantly, she laid there sobbing even more.
Terror succeeded in taking the princess with him, they both exited the throne room. when they were far away king Cirius spoke up saying.
"When Terror is back, kill him, I don't have money to give to a commoner" Cirius said.
#####
Terror placed the princess on the floor binding her hands as she screams.
"Please I beg you don't kill me" she said sobbing.
As Terror raised his sword up to chop of her head, his eyes and hers met, and he knew he couldn't kill this child, she is still too young, he never had any likings for nobles or royals, but this child was unusual, bringing the sword down he severed the rope binding her.
"Get up young one, we are leaving" he said. she got up, he picked her up dropping her on his soldiers, knowing how very weak she is from that much sobbing.
"Where are we going, and what of my mum" she asked.
"Don't worry I will come back for her, but let's get you far away from here" he said as he took a horse and galloped outside the city to a cave, where he hides her and came back to the castle.
He walked into the throne room, but the queen body was there dead.
#####
"What took you so long" Aidan said drawing his sword slowly.
"I had to make sure I took care of the body" Terror said noticing his environment, with Veticus standing by Cirius side with the advisors still kneeling.
"I wanted her head" Cirius said, ever so evil.
"she is but a child, now you can't mean that" Terror shot back. and immediately Aidan charged him, he duck at the last second.
"So you didn't want to pay me, you wanted me to do the dirty job so you will just kill me" Terror said, and after saying this, he ran away from the castle not fearing Aidan But Cirius and Veticus. he ran to his horse and galloped out of there
***********
After Cirius coronation, it was really a dark time for Aitoro, no king dare speak up fearing their new Emperor. Everyday there was war, people dieing. The GAME became even more brutal. Slaves were thrown in there every month to be slaughtered by wild beast.
But it was not enough, he wanted more, he attacked all other Empire bringing them to their knee, he had Control of all other Empire, and this brought about the rise of warlords, they were monsters, they were large and love nothing more than war with sorcerers protecting them. Each empire he brought to their knees putting in a warlord to be in charge.
But there was one empire he couldn't have, and that was Amorion, This Empire was protected by a force field with lightning passing through it, it was a magical barrier that doesn't let danger come in, it incinerated them on touch. he was angered he even stationed thousands of soldiers there to keep attacking and don't come back unless they succeed.
Sitting on the customized throne large enough for him is Cirius, he sat with six women all around him, and in the middle of the throne room is six dead headless body of slaves and soldiers.
"My lord, mistress Veticus is here to see you" The servant said shivering.
"Let her in", he said with a very heavy and powerful voice
in walked Veticus with her head raised high
"My lord I came bearing bad news" She said.
"out with it then" he said grabbing a girl scarcely dressed, ever so tightly.
" A prophecy has been made, A boy will rise, wielding the sword of dragons, and expunge the world of evil and drstroying the one who wears an amulet of golden skull around his neck" she said, with Cirius stroking the skull amulet on his chest, what a direct way of saying someone will rise to kill him.
Cirius loosened his grip on the girl letting her go.
"And where can I find the one to wield this Sword? and where is this sword let's destroy it" he said very angry.
"The sword is in Amorion, and it is said a white wolf will wield it" she finalized.
"You know I can't get into Amorion, but I can travel with my men to Tamak and ask them of the white wolf". Cirius said.
"But Know this a white wolf has not been born for a thousand years now" she said before bowing and leaving.
Cirius stood up "Aidan, prepare our men, we are matching to Tamak, the land of werewolves" he said.
***********
Everywhere burning, the forest was in chaos, wolves were butchered.
"Where is this white wolf" Cirius asked the werewolves' chief Fursit
"I wish I know I would have told you, but there have not been any white fur werewolf for many years now, we only hear that in fairy tales and legend" Fursit said fearing for his hides.
"Prepare to take him to Temple arizea, I want them to break him"Cirius said smiling
"And prepare our men Aidan we are matching to the borders of Amorion" he said concluding and walking off to his horse.
***********
At the border Cirius just arrived, the men he stationed there were all bowing their head.
"What's the news on the border" Aidan asked a foot soldier by his side.
"We have tried but the barrier seem impenetrable" the soldier said.
Cirius stood and watch as his men shoot boulders by boulders, but nothing happened. Veticus just arrived and was standing by his side, nothing happened, he got fed up and with his massive strength he lifted up a soldier with one hand and flings him to the border, on hitting the barrier the soldier body incinerated, other soldiers on seeing this shifted from Cirius.
"I have a better Idea, this hood only allows one person through, if the person is in, he will find a way to bring down the barrier from inside, so we can all go in" Veticus said to Cirius.
"Then give it to me,let me go and crush them" he said trying to grab the hood.
"No it can't be you, it has to be someone less dangerous, or it will not work" she said, handing Cirius the hood, who was thinking who is the best person to give it to so he gave no other than his trusted general Aidan, and also gave him four thousand gold pieces.
"I will not fail you my lord"Aidan said walked up to the barrier, breathing in, he walked through the barrier safe without any harm.
"The hood, is it just one" Cirius asked.
"No, it was two, but someone got to the other one before I did" she said determined to find who.
***********
Terror, has protected princess Vera, ever since, and the child had made him a better person he needed nothing more than to see her survive, he has been training her on how to survive and fight, he even gave her a magic amulet that helps her get invisible, if there was danger. they had been in Dipo a province in Mantai, another Empire far way from Aitoro, and had stayed there for long, but Terror knew it was too dangerous, for Cirius has taking over so many Empire including Mantai and it was a matter of time before he found princess Vera. So he went to hunt for a hood that can help him and Vera through the famed Amorion barrier, he got to one, but someone else got to the other one before he could, so he couldn't join her.
They got up early and he helped her up his horse, they have been traveling for days but finally reached. He helped her down dressed her up with the hood and took her to the front of the barrier.
"On getting there, find the white fur werewolf, only he can save the Empires, start by searching the castle Amorion, he will be a very important person" he said very sure of himself.
"What about you" she asked been worried.
"Don't worry about me, it's time I pay for my iniquities, just go" he said hugging her tightly with him forcing to stop a drop of tears from his eyes.
"Now go" he said, and she started walking and passed through the barrier, he waved her goodbye, he stood there watching until she disappeared from his view.
