Chapter 4 - The burning crown

"So are you ready to go to the grand mutreum, my (queen)", "yes.... now let's leave for the kingdom of zhe".

In the bedroom of a great large castle, standing up from his extravagant bed where a handsome man was sleeping in, then he started walking towards what seems to be his closet, reaching the closet, he opened it and took out a cloth then wore it and said "grayat I'm going out... wake up when you are ready, and I'll see you later" then he walked to his bed to kiss the handsome man on his head, then walked out of his room.

In a giant hall, a man was sitting on a golden throne, while three other thrones were on the right and left side of the hall and a long wooden table separating both sides! Then the old man sitting on his throne started talking to his adviser, who was standing on the left side of his throne, "are they already here?", then the adviser replies to the man by saying, "yes.... (he hemm) the queen of Santrial left for our kingdom four weeks ago, the amestoil of Reeves also left for our kingdom four weeks ago, the prince of salnatia is already here", "what do you mean", hesitating the adviser replied saying "he is in the room of the third prince", "alright now continue", "ye... yes (swallowed his saliva) sir, (hmm hmm) the king of init left for our kingdom one month ago, but the two others rejected the summons, should I..", "no need those four were good enough.

"Sir there are enemies attacking the castle" a guard who just rushed into the hall while they were bleeding, then they started telling the two in the hall about what was happening outside of the castle "there is a riot going on, and they've burnt down the hall of weapons", then the king's adviser yelled "absurd....", "shut up socross" then the guard started crawling towards the thrones, while screaming "my great king, I'm not lying... (coughing blood) they are really coming, please", (thwich) "no" (thuck) then the crawling guard was shot in the head by a bow! And men cloaked in black came into the palace hall from the opened hall door the and also from the glass ceiling they just broke, then advisor started a conversation with the cloaked people, "who dares to stand in front of his majesty (ASMoDEOS-ARSHVORNHIRM)", "we are...", then another man in a red robe walked out of the crowd of black robed people, then started saying "we are the heirnomy, and we are here for the king and the royal family", "but the royal family isn't in the castle, it's only the king", "then where are they", while smirking the royal advisor says "they've all gone on vacation", in anger the red cloaked man says "what in hubble's bottom hell is going on here", "could you stop cursing, you know you are in the front of his majestic majesty"! Then the people cloaked in black started whispering to themselves saying things like "I think it's weird that no soldiers are here to protect their king, yes it's weird, and they said the kings adviser was the strongest in our father land of zhe", then a man, ran towards the throne by the long table he climbed then started running on the long table towards the king with a dagger, but as the person wanted to jump off the table, and stab the king with the dagger he was pointing at him, a spear was thrown into the person's head, and the spear broke through the person's head, propelling it into the halls wall! Then all the cloaked people in shock screamed "haaaaaaaaaa".

In a red carriage that was being pulled by a crimson red horse that was being controlled by a coachman, inside the carriage a man and woman are talking to eachother, on two sides of the carriage, "my queen what should we do with this new news?", "we shouldn't do anything", "why?", "do you understand the position we are in", "hmm... what do you mean", "did you forget we are a neutral state between two bigger states that could start a war at anytime and also battalions from the kingdom of zhe and kingdom of malerine, have being seen entering and coming out of borders attacking and plundering villages, kidnapping men, women and children, so do you now understand our position in east numteighnhirm", then the queen's adviser, started talking back to the queen, by saying "of course I now understand, but if that's the case why did we live the kingdom", "to renew the peace treaties", then the adviser holding his chin with his fingers replies by saying "okay, even in that case aren't we leaving our kingdom open to an attack", "I get what you are saying but they won't want to mess with the empire, even if it's not the empire, we still have our trump card", "who are they?" "The polemos class of ingrasia", "oh now I understand", "do you know what volos", happily volos replied "what my queen", "you knew my plan before I even thought of it right", then like that the carriage went silent, and volos started replying to her aqusations by saying "maybe, maybe not, it's only how much something matters, if something matters to you, you pursue it, but if it doesn't matter you do not pursue it", then the queen starts laughing "are you threatening me", "no I would never", "(hahahahaha) you know something, you are really funny", perplexed about her laughter, volos said "why are you laugh....", "what did you say", "nothing important", "alright"! (Thinking) "she is so beautiful" volos thought while clenching his fist "and I will keep it like that".

Back in the hall of the palace, soldiers wearing armor and holding spears have started to appear from all the shadows in the hall (four thousand of them in total) surrounding the cloaked people, "what are we going to do leader, yes what should we do, should we surrender?", then the red cloaked man replied saying "no we won't surrender to the bastards of this kingdom", "then what should we do", "hmm...., I know what, we fight to the death and show them that they aren't the only ones with mages", then all the cloaked people formed a circle (four hundred and one in total), and the man in red said "now we go fight and die for our ideals beliefs and for the future of our great father land zhe, so where are they?", then all the cloaked people screamed "we are", "but first show yourself magicians, I know you are there" at the back of the soldiers stands men who were fully cloaked in green.

Then the King stood up from his throne and screamed "i order you all to clear this peasants out of my palace in pieces", and the soldiers yelled a battle cry "haaaaaaa" and ran towards the surrounded cloacked people, with their spears, "kill them" yelled the soldiers! "Do you think you are the only one who can play this game, attack..... my magicians and kill all of them", then the cloaked people started chanting "amleciolsieclush efrinomia, ancient gods answer our prayers and burn all our enemies down" and balls of fire appeared above all the cloaked people then they were thrown at the soldiers who were attacking (boom), breaking their front, then the red cloaked man screamed "second barrage, before they even have a chance to regroup and attack", then the cloaked people said "affirmative" and they started chanting "amleciolseclush efrinomia, ancient gods answer our prayers and burn all our enemies down" and more balls of fire appeared above all the cloaked people, then they were thrown at their regrouping enemies (boom), and more of them started burning alive in their armour (haaaaaaaa), but the rest just kept walking forward through the flames even if they were being burnt alive or cooked alive, while saying "for our kingdom of zhe and for it's king Asmodeos-ashvornhirm"! But the king clenching his throne stood up and yelled to his soldiers "don't stop until we all reach valhalla together", and his army responded by yelling "haaaaaaa" as they continued walking through the flames from their enemies.

"Master they are passing through our flames" said a cloaked person to their leader who was standing in the middle of the circle formation while looking at the king, who just started sat back down on his throne, "then make the flames hotter", "but we are all already running out of stamina", "what did I tell you all even if it kills us we must keep going because all we just need is that throne", then they all said "yes sir", and they started chanting for the third time "amleciolseclush efrinomia, ancient gods answer our prayers and burn all our enemies down" then the third barrage of fire ballls appeared above them! But as they wanted to release the third barrage of fireballs at their enemies, they heard voices coming from the opening in the glass ceiling of castle "haaaaaaa", and they saw soldiers falling from the hole in the cieling of the castle, with their spears pointed at them, then they looked back down seeing the soldiers that are now in front them with their spears pointed at them, and in a second the hall was filled with screams "haaaaaa", from the cloaked people who were stabbed and were bieng pushed to their leader stabbing him from all sides with all the tips of their spears "haaaaaaa"! while bleeding from his mouth he said "don't forget even if we are going to the die in a place like this we will always die fighting", then they all yelled "yes master", and they started chanting "lucrimouse coal son con sicrit-, while they were chanting their l leader with his mask off looking at the king, as he saw his face in fear, the leader said "even If it takes a million years I will get reincarnated to destroy and kill anyone of your blood in any form of reincarnation and in any world", then the king stood up from his throne and pointed his index finger at the cloacked leader and said "clarckmiel you bastard, you will never"! But as the king pointed at the leader a man on a building in front of the castle in a white suit holding a book said "Asmodeos" and the hand the king was using to point at the cloaked leader blew up into nothing but blood "haaaaaaaa", he screamed while kneeling on the dias he opened the palm working hands and said "who are you", then the white suited man said "socross", and the upper half of the kings adviser blew up into blood, then the king saw his lower half fall to the floor while spilling blood "haaaaaa..... socross", "Asmodeos", and the kings only hand blew up and blood spilled out of it and turned the dias red, then the king yelled "who are you" as his soldiers looked at him "i am no one important, so you don't need to know", "bastard what about honour", "how do you speak of honour when you just massacred who you could have saved", "it's the rule of law", "Asmodeos", then the kings right leg blew up into a puddle of blood, "no no no.. I don't want to die, -mol sernia" then the cloaked people exploded blowing away all soldiers even the ones falling from the sky, "guys I'm sorry I just wanted to give you a better future" the leader of the cloaked people said while blowing up! Looking at the explosion in his puddle of blood the king started thinking "is this where I'm going to die on the dias below the throne, then if that is how it is very ironic", "Asmodeos"and his left leg blew up into a puddle of blood "father" screamed the third prince while running down the stairs on the left side of the hall, "manhiel" the king said to his son who was standing at his front, "now I see..... manhiel third prince of the zhe kingdom I give you the title of king", "Asmodeos", and his head blew up, "father.. father.. no the new king screamed while holding his father's remaining part, "now let me go, shene virouse" the white suited man said before he disappeared into the night.

"Anyone, anyone" the queen of santrial said while looking at the destroyed hall with dead bodies everywhere except for someone who his sitting on the kings throne "who are you".
