It's been hours since systex had left us and no one else had come through that door, not even the imposter king, he didn't come to check on us.
I and my men have not eaten or drink anything since we woke up and the worst of it all is that we could not even make out time. No one knew if it is still day or night, just this void and quiet place deserted of all living things except us.
Guard 7: captain, we don't have much of a choice and since systex said we will be released if we accept the change, I think we should do it, not like we have much of a choice to choose from
Guard 3: Yes captain, we can't sit here doing nothing while the lives of our families are being threaten. Let's accept the deal. It's just one person against all eight of us, we will go in quick, blend in and get her out quietly.
Guard 1: are you all listening to your selfs, the princess kora is the only successor of our kingdom. We can't hand her over to this imposter. What if he kills her, then we will continue to suffer under the influence of this mad supernatural?
No captain, we are not only deciding for or ourselves and families, we are deciding for the whole human realm. She is our only way out. She promised to be back and get rid of Axel and from what she said I think she knew already that's why she ran away.
Guard 6: what do you mean by no, look around you. The kingdom is ruined already. if the only chance I stand of getting out alive is to do this then I will take it. Fuck the kingdom, fuck the princess and fuck you too asshole, I choose my family! my family over this all!. And even if he have just one hour to live, I will rather fight my way out of this shithole to make it back to my family and spend that precious one hour together you understand asshole?
Guard 4: I choose my family too captain
Guard 5: I don't excatly have one yet but I prefer spending my last days at home than fighting a war we are loosing already.
Guard 1: you lots are stupid asses, how long do you think you will stay with your family for, a day, a month, an hour?
We are all going to die soon cause already the supernatural can cross over to us, ever wondered what it will fill like to have your blood drained by a vampir? Your very own Essenes slipped out of you just in a few seconds. That is what will happened if we bring back the princess to this hell.
But if we fight now, we stand a chance of saving our home, our kingdom and humanity at large through her!.
Guard 6: and at what price? Our life's, The life of our families? To hell with that. why can't someone else do the sacrifices for all I care.
You wanna die so badly, be my guest! but when systex walks back in through that door, I will do anything and everything to keep my family safe.
Captain: enough both of you!
Look I have been thinking and I have decided to not make this decision for anyone but myself, I am going in and you all have from now till systex is back to decide for yourselves. I have done so many terrible things and I wish to amend my ways but this, this is off my menu. I will bring the princess back and I will inform her what is going on, if she marries the Deamonia king she might be able to plead with her husband to spare humanity, the barrier can be remade stronger and a new king will be crowned.
The treaty will be upheld again.While me and my family will be alive to witness it all!.
So fight with me or you can sit here and daydream, wishing she will come back on her own Accord and make everywhere a paradise again.
Guard 1: I refuse to be part of this madness!
Guard 6: then you can sit here and die, I will tell the world of your courageous sacrifice and your name will be written down in the heros book of Lucia.
The quarrelling kept going on and on for the next few hours.
Finally, systex walks back in with her robe and a wide smile on her face.
I hope you all have made up your minds boys cause it's time.
Captain.....
Systex, we need a full guarantee that we will be back to our families safe and sound after the mission and that the spell can be reversed said the captain.
Of course captain, all you have to do is give up your new powers the same way you willing give up your humanity and when I say the spells, everything will be back to normal, she replied.
"Then I and my men are ready"
Now you are talking deal captain, everyone agree to this?
Guard 1: No! I will never accept to be a part of this insanity
Axel appeared all of a sudden and said "then you shall be killed, I can't let you go back, you have seen too much and know too much about this mission and I can't risk the council members knowing about this". Feed systex. Said Axel .
Immediately the dead looking tree they were bind to beging to grow dead branches that curled and wound the guard around his head holding him in one place and forcing his mouth Open then systex whole demor and figure changed form the adorable teenage girl to and old looking woman with little to no hair on her head, sagged breast, and no tooth in her mouth. She opened up her robe and slide out of it then began stalking towards the guard.
On getting to him she reduce her height to his sitting level and began chanting some spells. A white light not too bright ermaged from the guards mouth and flow towards her and she opend her mouth to swallow it.
After swallowing the light the guard began growing old and wrinkles showed on his skin while systex transformed back to the young girl she once was with pointed pink nipples and a beautiful body curve. She began laughing maniacally and relishing in her rebirth.
So long systex, so long..... she repeated the words with so much joy and happiness while the king just stood there not the least surprised with all the show.
