THE ROD OF COMMAND

BATTLE FOR SURVIVAL

BATTLE FOR SURVIVAL

Delmar was so angry and rushed into the third gate and fought the evil Vigora, as they continued their fight and Delmar getting evil Vigora so bad that he ran to hide himself as usuals. When Delmar notices that evil Vigora has run away, he tries to go back immediately to save his loved ones from the world of the apocalypse even if he did not know the deadly world.

As he tried to get out, the gate was closed and all the walls were blocked, the area became small to him and he was trapped. He can not move nor drink but stand still in the cage because he was trapped for eternity. 

When the evil Vigora noticed that Delmar has been trapped in the wind for eternity because he break the gods of the wind rules, then he became the messenger of the wind for the next three days as he was  control by the gods and goddess of the wind, he was sent as the wind to destroy some certain place in the city, wind. And Helena, the real mother of Delmar, was affected by the wind.

The evil Vigora has become the wind himself for the next three days as he has been controlled to do evil, which is what he loves doing.     

Dehina, Velena and her maid Alena, Evelyn and Terry were all sent to the world of the apocalypse, they kept fighting to find their way out as they came across a lot of dangers. The land of the apocalypse was a beautiful world that people lived in before, but after they sin against the gods of the land called Hades because of the taboo that they  go against, Hades destroyed everyone and everything, and turned the land to apocalypse land.

They have been in the land of the apocalypse for just a day, but it seems to them as one month because the days and nights count are too short, and so as the day and night there are running too fast so will the people too grow old very fast, no good water because the water was heat from the heavy temperatures from the heat and dried every water.

 The food and trees or anything lively was burned to ashes, some houses are also burned while some are damaged due to the earthquake.

As they kept waking tiredly, they saw a building near the sea, they entered in to see if they could find some foods, as they  kept searching, they found some human skeletons, some stand while some make attempt to run before they meet their death, the human skeletons also ran to hide themselves in that building not knowing the fluid will destroy them all. 

As Terry saw a dried bread at the hand of the skeleton, he took the  bread and began tearing it to eat because the hunger was too much, then Dehina shouted, “no one should eat that, if you do you will all die”.

So Terry and Evelyn replied saying, “why should we not eat them?”. 

Dehina replied, ”the bread  has been poisoned because of the flu, so throw them away, it is better to fight for survival than to eat poison”. 

“We are as good as dead anyway so let us eat this bread even though it is a poison,” Terry said .

So Evelyn got angry and collected the  bread and threw it away. After that moment, they quickly ran out of  the damaged building because it was making sounds of collapsing totally. As they are moving forward with a low strength, Velena tries to use her power but is not working as they are powerless in the land of the apocalypse.

They did not have any choice than to keep walking to find their way out if possible. They saw a burned old vehicle for which the driver and the passengers who wanted to run out of the land had been cleared by the heat wind, no single thing had been damaged. 

Dehina could not forget about her prince Delmar so she says, “I failed the Queen from helping the prince get back the Rod Of Command to our world, I wondered where Delmar is now”.

Then Terry replied, “you do not even know if you will die here or how to get out from this deadly place, now you are thinking about your so-called prince”.

So Dehina asks Terry to keep his mouth shut, Evelyn and Velena also support Dehina telling Terry to keep quiet and focus on how they will get out of the deadly place. 

Even though if Evelyn does not know the meaning of what Dehina was saying, she support Dehina because she missed Delmar and she feels she may not have the chance to see Delmar again since they do not know the way out and she was too weak, so she thought she is going to die.

It was more than two days, but to them in the land of the apocalypse, it was more than two months, they are still finding their way out as they overcome so many dangers and they are getting more weaker to the extent that Evelyn and Terry has gave up the hope of living as they thought they were going to die.

When it was around midday, the cloud turned to red and a fire began to rain from the heaven, as they noticed it was not just a rain but a rain with fires to destroy the rest survivors in the land, Dehina, Velena and her Maid, Evelyn and Terry all ran with a low strength and a weak body to a save place.

They heard a sound where they were hiding, they thought immediately something strange was about to happen at the place they were hiding, as they keep hearing the sound so they stand to see what was making the sound, as they moved closer they saw two young girls who were just five years old but it seems they are twenty one plus years old.

They do not believe what they saw, thinking that how can there still be survivors in the apocalypse land.

So that gives Evelyn and Terry hope that they too can still endure or make it out alive.

Dehina asked, “who are you guys and how long have you been here?”. 

Dehina purposely asked to know if those two young girls were also sent to the land of the apocalypse just as the way they are sent or they were part of the people in the land, so one of the girls replied, “ we came with our parent  through the boat not really to this land but to one of the village across the sea until we find ourselves here”. 

“For how long and how many are you?'' said Dehina.

One of the girls replied, “ I really do not know but I think it was not long,”. 

“But what are your names?”  Princess Velena asked.

The older one out of the two girls answered, “I am Roseline and my little sister is Katrin”. 

On hearing all that from the two girls, Evelyn was so happy and  said, “if you girls can survive through all the dangers, that means we also can survive”?. 

Evelyn asked the girls, “what happened and how did the land become so cruel and deadly?”.

So Roseline answered, “ I do not know much but according to what my grandparent told me, that the land was called promised land and it was very beautiful”.

 Dehina asked, “your grandparents, are they related to the land, I mean are they from this land of the apocalypse?”.

Roseline replied and told them the full story according to what her grandfather told her and her sister.

Roseline answered Dehina, “The land is not called apocalypse land but the land of promise. Very long time ago, in the promised land, there was a mountain called Hades and the mountain himself was a god. Hades was a powerful place and all the people of the land were banned from visiting it because under the mountain, there are a lot of treasures that were owned by Hades. 

And it has been there for thousands of years to prevent any outside dangers from entering the land because Hades the god of the land has been guarding the people, the image of the gods and goddess are kept in the mountain full of precious stones, diamonds, gold, silvers and jades. 

The taboo was that nobody must touch or take any of the treasures. No they should not go there so that their heart will not draw them to take any of the treasures.

They should not involve themselves with outsiders nor will they leave the land to find a home in another land, only the matured and the elderly ones are allowed to travel.

 Because of that Hades the god of the land gave them everything in order not to look out to another land.

But  as time passed by and people are multiplying in number, and the people are leaving their own land to another land as they were advancing in their day to day life, bringing in technologies and every sort of modern things to the land and  their female children were been giving out in marriage to another people outside the promised land. 

Their grandchildren mixed themselves with the people outside the promised land, and because of that they began to sin against the gods of the land, forgetting the laws that they must keep. 

But that was not all, one day a group of soldiers led by five persons from the land matched into the land and packed all the treasures in Hades and even broke down Hades images and took the Jade in them.

Out of the five persons who lead the soldiers are among the chiefs and the king's son. Two from the chief's side, two from the king's side and one from the son of a commoner. 

As the  mountain called Hades which also was their god and goddess was protecting the land so the people in the land must also protect Hades treasures but they failed to do that, and because of that Hades hanger came upon all the people, and the soldiers all perish in the road, almost half of the people in the land was destroyed in a day by the big blocks of fires rising from Hades mountain and falling upon everyone”.

So Evelyn speaks to Roseline saying, “you said you do not know how you and your sister got here right?”. 

“Yes we find ourselves in the middle of the land,” replied Roseline. 

And they all kept silent for a moment, thinking what to do and the next thing to happen to them. After that,  Dehina told the ladies to tell them when the next deadly thing will attack them and how to escape it. 

Roseline replied,  “on a day like this, around sunrise, the heat from Hades usually happens and the heat will be too strong to clean any living thing instantly without any traces, it will connect with the sun and strike”.

“So how can we survive it?” asked Evelyn.

Roseline replied, “before the time comes, we need to find a place near the sea, we all are going to stay deep for almost one hundred and thirty nine seconds under the sea, so that when the heavy heat comes upon us, we will not be too much affected, and survive it”.

Terry was silent and confused, since  he was curious if the ladies are really capable of showing them how to survive in the deadly land of the apocalypse because he was doubting  if Roseline was right. 

Then he asks according to what Roseline says that they will stay under the sea for almost two minutes saying, “when you said we will not be much affected means you are not sure if we can survive it right?”. 

Roseline answered, “we should all remain strong to survive it under the sea, so your faith lies in your hand Terry”.

So after their discussion, they continue moving, finding a way out till the next day,  they continue moving and as they are very weak but they never give up the hope  to survive. 

The sun was rising little by little and the day was so bright. As Alena the Maid of Princess Velena raised her head up, she saw the sun dividing to many places, but because it was too bright she was not able to see it clearly. 

After the sun was divided into many places, the sun was also coming down to the land on which they are.

So Roseline shouted that they should all run to the Sea because she saw the sign so she knew the heavy heat was about to come down upon them through the sun dividing itself.

“Let us hurry to the sea and stay there until the deadly heat begins,  after some minutes it will begin and this will be the third time the heat will heat this land” Roseline said. 

As they are running, Dehina asks, “So you mean this one will be stronger than the rest?” .

Roseline replied, “yes this one will totally be stronger than the previous heat so let us hurry”.

As they are running, the thunders and lightning are striking to disturb and kill them.
