Deepest Part of You

Wizard Knight

Chapter 2 Wizard Knight

    I don’t remember how my bed can be this hard, cold, and uncomfortable, or how my body’s feels like as if I was hit by a carriage. 

    What is that noise anyway? A growl.. or a whispers.. I opened my eyes, and suddenly sat down in shock. I’m not in my bedroom, I’m in the middle of i-don’t-know-where-i-am-somewhere-deep-in-the-jungle. 

    Am I still inside Athopia’s Shield? Pretty sure it’s morning, or afternoon, but it’s dark, I cant see a day light for these trees are very big and shady. The fog’s thickness is made it worse to see what’s in front of you.

        I stand up when I hear a cracking twigs that I heard clearly as if it’s not far from me. Even though I’m still trying to find my balancing by putting my hand on the tree behind me, I just have to get out from here. Now.

    Just as I stretched my wings and take a little leap, a sharp twig pierced through my right wing to the tree. It’s Mogh’s poisonous bugs! I’m starting to panicking for I cannot fly away, nor stepping my feet to the ground. My right shoulder is bleeding too, apparently mogh’s bug grazed my skin first before piercing my wing.

         I can sense the mogh’s getting closer. My right wing’s starting to ripped apart caused by my efforts to get away, can I fly with only one wing?—I don’t know but first thing first. I reach my wing with my right hand, without looking back, I’m trying to reach and pull the bugs out from the tree too. I’ll do anything that works. But my limited angle is making me impossible to pull the bugs out from the tree for it pierced through deep.

     Just about when my wing’s got fully ripped apart and I’m going to be stuck-free, another mogh’s bug pierced through my palm. 

    My screaming restrained as I watch the bug that pierced in my palm spread its twig into roots wrapping my wrist. It meant to tied me to the tree. 

    In a blink of an eye, another mogh’s bug pierced the tree near my left hand, and spread another twig-roots, these all happening so fast. The next thing I now, both my wrists and waist are wrapped with the roots.

     “OH NO!”, watching my wings crushed by the roots, destroyed, fall into pieces—into  glittery of dusts, I knew that the poison from the bugs ran inside my veins.

     I’m trembling for the fact that I definitely cannot escape from this. 

    I’m going to die!  Pretty sure it’s my adrenaline kicking in the maximum level, cause I haven’t feel the pain from my wounds, or maybe the roots tied me too hard. My vision’s beginning to fail and blurry, this is it. 

    This is the end. 

    In my blurry vision I still can see Mogh’s black shadow approaching at my level of height.

    I’m about to passing out and my eyes getting dimmer, from a far I still can heard a painful growl from the mogh for at the same time, I watched the tip of a blade sword comes out from the moghs chest. After that everything goes blackout.

           Prince Seth Owens. He’s moving his hand lightly from the ground—only the gesture of his hand to pull up his sword from the mogh’s chest, summoning his sword back to his hand. The mogh’s body fall to the ground with thud. Seth stunned for a while, aside from still being cautious, he’s looking at an unconscious fairy without wings—wounded pretty bad. If he’s got here in time, this princess would still conscious and not hurt at all. Wait, did he just care about her?

        He clenched his jaw at first, not liking the way he cared about the princess. 

    Seth raised his right hand and clenched his fist, all the roots that covered and tied the princess crushed into pieces. In no time Seth hold up Violet’s body with his power so she will not fall hard to the ground. 

    Violet’s wounded body is floating slowly to Seth’s arm. He’s barely put an efforts to carry this princess. Seth is watching the fairy princess in his arms, for he’s almost never met one. Her hair colour is lavender, with shades of light gold at the bottom. Her eyes are still closed, made him wondering the colour of her eyes for the blood coming out from her shoulder is purple—not red. Her lips are red-ish though. If I kiss her, is she going to wake up? Okay, great thoughts Seth!

    He’s looking behind his shoulder, his royal-councelor and a few Gryffin guards have arrived.

    Gryffin Kingdom is the kingdom of the wizards.

     Both Kingdoms; Gryffin and Athopia used to live in peace for King Mark Owens (Seth’s Father) and King Grey Eos are in good relation. But the circumstances are heating up for both kingdoms, especially because King Mark had gone for weeks. There are dark ancient rumors about an awakening leader of the wicked creature, for it will be undefeatable and destroyed all kingdoms. King Mark haven’t returned and the last words about his cavalry are related with fairies army. From that moment Athopia using their shield, deliberately off grid from another kingdoms.

    There are another words that comes up. Words from the ancient book of Gryffin, these information can be a way out from the Creature leader, a safe solution for Gryffin Kingdom. It’s says that a wizard can absorb power from pure blood fairies, the true heir, and the chosen one. If one succeed it will bring infinite power.

    This is the reason why he saved the princess.

     He’s going to hostage the princess in his castle. He’ll interrogate her, intimidate her, break her if necessary. Even though, some how he felts like he’s not capable of doing such things, cause he’s already almost lost his mind watching the princess wounded badly.

    “I need bandages, health expert with medications, and bring me the carriage!” Seth carrying the princess toward his guards’s standing spot. One of the guard immediately teleported back to the Gryffin castle preparing his request.

    “You got here so fast, your majesty.”, Tanek Abaddon the royal counsellor implying, bowing.

    “Not fast enough.”

    Tanek took a mild gasp after looking at Violet, “It lose it wings!”.

    Seth glared at Tanek, “It’s a SHE. And yes, I can see that she’s wingless.” Seth’s upset being reminded that he could’ve help her sooner.

       “If we’re going to extract her, we must bring her fittest form, your highness. Or it won’t work.”,Tanek emphasized.

      “We’ll figure it out latter.” Seth said while heading toward the carriage that was suddenly appeared soon after. Tanek and a few of his guards are teleporting back. Seth—still carrying Violet, get into the carriage where the paramedic-wizard is getting ready to medicate the wounded fairy.

        “Treat her. Carefully.” 

        Even though the carriage and every thing in it, will also teleporting—so It doesn’t take much time to go back home, Seth still wants her wounds immediately taken care of. Especially the blood from her palms still draining out, Seth cleans Violet’s palm with clean-warm water fabric and put Gryffin’s traditional medication for bleeds out on her palm. He wrapped her palm with white bandage. 

        He let his health expert handling the minor wounds, he felt less worried for all the bleeding has been stop and the poison that once ran in her blood is no longer take effect. As soon as the mogh’s-poisonous-bug died, its toxic dies too.
