Chapter 6 - The Great King

There once was a king who owned all the land in his country. This king took pride in how he could control things.He took pleasure in knowing nothing could surprise him. He even fell in love and married a beautiful women, and had a beautiful daughter. So the king thought that life was perfect, he has all the power in world. At the snap of his fingers anything he wills happens; But then one of his subjects came and said, "My King, were being attacked by the Kailems ,they stand 100,000 strong." The king looked calm and set there an pondered. He thought how they were outnumbered 2 to 1. But his confidence remained unshaken. So he said, "If it's a war they want, they have it, ready the orders, and call the men." And off the king rode to war, smiles on all there faces. Not a single person would think a war was happening, because the great king who controls all, and claims all, is going to war. Final, they meet the enemy army. The king uses beautiful tactics and they start to win, but in the end they're overrun. So the king retreats and sees his subjects crying, crying at the fear of being pillaged. The fear of rape, the fear death. So the king stations his men at the nearest castle, and delegates command to the general. He then returns home to the palace and makes the choice, a choice that would determine the shape of his kingdom's destiny. "Send word to empire, and tell them ,we accept the marriage." The king spoke with a cold face not noticing his daughter spying on his decree, " father ho.. how could you,  don't you love me, why,  why did you."  "Knock" The king knocked his daughter out and commanded "take her to her chambers, I can't stand the sight of her!" He yelled, So they listen and take her. "Aguhhhhh" the kings screams after they leave collapsing on the floor with tears waling up in his eyes. In his lapse of judgment he didn't lock the door. So she hears the, 

"Whimpering" is all the queen here's, and she's sees her husband who always stood tall, never showing anything but confidence crying in pure despair. The king notices her and stammers to speak. "Dear wife, I, I… "slam" failed her" tears start to pour out his eyes, his cruel red eyes. Yet his once cruel eyes looked as soft as a kittens. "Sobbing" "I loved you both more then world, but Ho.. how can I let so many die." His lips quivered and he spoke no more and cried seeking solace threw wife. His wife not wasting time comforted him until he calmed down a bit by setting his head into her lap. The king who's laying on his wife's lap covering his eyes with his arm moves it, and looks her in the eyes after finally calming down bit, and tried to speak but couldn't. "It's ok, I will always love you. And I'm sure she will understand eventually." The queen said with eyes as deep space and soft as melted chocolate.  The kings takes deep breathes and mustered the strength to stand up and speak, "I was the man who controlled the world, I had power, fame, and best of all I had you two. But what I've learned today. Is that none controls anything but nothing."
