Chapter 5 Visit Black As The Night Sky

  • Chapter 5 - Visit black as the night sky.
  • Dylan impatiently tapped his fingers on his throne. In the morning when he got up, Mira’s necklace was no longer there. The girl need to take good care of him, because if she did not, that woman could plot something.
  • The day seemed peaceful with the wind blowing gently and the birds singing outside. But something told him that this was like a mirage, hiding what was really to come.
  • When Oswald, his advisor, entered the throne room, the king knew his suspicions were right.
  • His old friend’s red hair was caught in a ponytail, his round, golden glasses resting on his nose. The green shirt and trousers, along with the golden eagle-shaped brooches, showed their patent on that spot.
  • As the redhead passed the fine beige carpet that covered most of the way from the door to the throne, the youngest could see the concerned countenance on the face of the man in his 50s.
  • “Majesty!” said the eldest. “We have problems.
  • When the other said this, Dylan frowned.
  • “Go on, Oswald.”
  • “That organization, Shiake, is attacking again. They want to take the children, Your Majesty! I thought I’d send the soldiers.”
  • “Don’t worry, Oswald.” - said the king with a smile. “I take care of them myself.”
  • The silver-haired man rose from the throne. The long gray cape that covered his shoulders fell to the ground, he was already prepared for such a situation. The sword, "blade of fire", was already caught in his waist.
  • As she drove down the hall, her honey-colored eyes stared at her father’s painting. He looked at the image of the man with black hair, stern countenance and eyes of the same color as his with disgust.
  • He felt the white shirt underneath the black mesh accentuate even more in his body when he took a deep breath. Memories of the time of King Neelas’s reign were still alive in his mind. His father was a cruel man who taught Dylan to kill and hate the different, which according to the former king, were dirty. The young man never agreed to this, but at the time he was too weak to do anything. So he only followed orders to the letter.
  • The day your little sister Mira awakened her powers, he knew he had to do something.
  • The madman would probably do something to the girl. The murder of more fairy families the day before only proved that. The young man knew he had to do something.
  • So when Neelas sent the soweetys after Sophie, they fought. When the sword pierced the chest of the old man, the only feeling was fulfilled.
  • He opened the doors of the palace, saw the sun illuminate the black mesh with golden details that covered his chest.
  • He ordered them to prepare Athos, his most faithful horse. When his black pants touched the animal’s back, Dylan knew he would once again have to do his duty.
  • The shopping area was in chaos. People ran everywhere, running away from the black smoke that was trying to envelop them.
  • Masked in ordinary black leather clothing and fiery cloak screamed, saying they were looking for a precursor to death. One of them threatened to take a child from his mother.
  • Dylan put Athos between them, scaring the attacker.
  • “What do you want here knights of death? You are not allowed in my kingdom. Where are the masters of darkness? Afraid to appear and so sent their dogs to hunt?” - Mocked.
  • The invaders tried to attack him. The king dodged, got off his horse and drew his sword.
  • “Come on!”
  • “Majesty, will you fight them alone? “asked a gentleman.
  • Dylan smiled.
  • “Don’t worry, you’re safe.
  • The people began to sigh relieved. Their king was there, there was nothing to fear.
  • Dylan evoked the blue flames. These filled the entire market, casting out the shadows.
  • “You can’t seem to catch a child without being noticed. You’re useless “he laughed.
  • A man wearing the same uniform as his enemies, but without a mask, was among them. Her black hair was caught in a short ponytail and her greenish brown eyes looked at Dylan with disgust.
  • Do not blame them. We did not expect the boy king to appear. “said another with blue eyes and purple hair. A red earring hung on his right ear.
  • Both seemed to be 25, but the sovereign was not deceived by them.
  • “How are you? Elijah, Ethan? Noah isn’t brave enough to come here after the scar I made on his face?
  • “Wow! You’re hurting me, Dylan boy” - said Ethan. “I miss hearing you call me Uncle Ethan. Do you remember when you said you wanted to be cool like me? “He looked at the king’s clothes. “At least that’s you learned “ He smiled.
  • “When you’re a child, you don’t see evil in the world. I grew up and noticed how rotten you are” - smiled synchronously - “As I told your puppies, you’re not welcome.”
  • “No use arguing with the boy, Ethan.” - Said Elijah. “He only accepts something in brute force.”
  • The black-haired man pulled out his sword and ran into Dylan.
  • The youngest smiled. Dylan grew up with those men. His father took him to meetings and everyone loved him. They taught them to fight, to use magic, to be a man. Much more than their father. Shiake was like their family, but they were on the wrong side. Moreover, as king his kingdom came first. Something Neelas would never do.
  • He pulled out Blade of fire and defended himself. He knew what would come next. The shadows came out of the enemy sword to accumulate around him. These were stronger than the previous ones.
  • He dodged, jumping back. The shadows became darker and denser. But for him it didn’t mean much.
  • The flames danced in his left hand, pushing away the black things, yet not extinguishing them.
  • Dylan felt someone behind him. It was Ethan. He attacked him with a sharp gust of wind. The other defended himself by creating a yellow light shield, which only served to slightly deflect the attack. A few seconds later the cuts on his arms were visible.
  • They continued attacking from both sides. The white-haired one could feel Elijah’s sword pierce his left rib, while Ethan trapped him with vines. Of course he could counterattack and the fight would continue all day. Both sides attacking and regenerating. In a continuous battle that would only end when they were exhausted, or dead.
  • But a noise was heard. It was a phoenix that was chirping above them. The enemies knew what it meant, it was time to retreat.
  • “See you the other day, Dylan boy.” - said Ethan.
  • When they disappeared in the form of a black dust, the king felt his hand tremble.
  • “Damn!” - I said.
  • The black marks were visible through his skin.
  • “I see that the curse is advancing.” - said a female voice.
  • The woman was there again, the one who cursed her family. The reason he wanted his sweet little sister to return home.
  • “What do you want? “I said angry.
  • Everything was still, like every time she appeared. Ordinary people looked like statues.
  • “I came to check on you.” - said the hooded woman. “Remind you that time is running out.”
  • The dark blue hood hid her face, only a blonde streak could be seen falling on top of her light beige dress.
  • “You don’t have to remind me of that” - growled.
  • The stranger laughed. She approached and hugged him. Dylan made an expression of disgust. Funny how the touch of a person from the same family that hers brought him the opposite feeling.
  • “Time is passing, for me this is no problem. Already for you... Tic Tac, little king.
  • He felt her arms pull away and suddenly everything was normal again.
  • Dylan closed his hand, shaking it. His little sister needed to be home as soon as possible.
