ROYAL BLOOD

WHO IS GARY?

Gary replied quickly," He found shelter in a family. He told them that he was banished from the other world. He grew up in that family of Charles and Mary Smith. He read his mother's writings and as days passed by, he kept practicing magic; black magic and kept plotting for revenge. When he stepped in his twenties, the King was growing old and the Prince and was going to marry and take the throne. Wyot was ready to act out his plan. He gathered few of his friends whom he had been teaching magic ever since he got there and on the day of the Prince's marriage; the twenty eighth night of the month, he killed all of the King's men one by one with the help of his friends. He killed Frank and slithered into the King's chamber. The King woke up and yelled his guards to come out.

Wyot smiled and said, "There is no one left, Dravite."

"How dare you call me by my name?" The King yelled.

"Ah! Still proud of the title. After killing innocents and destroying families, and stealing two mother from two sons. You have not yet learned to feel guilt, have you? "Wyot said as he looked at the full moon.

Dravite slowly moved his hands towards his sword and asked, "What do you mean by two mothers and whose mothers?" he had already caught hold of his sword and was ready to strike.

"My mother and you’re the prince's mother" Wyot replied turning towards the King who lifted his sword and was going to attack Wyot but he casted a spell and pointed his fingers towards the sword making it fly across the room.

Dravite gasped and asked him, "Who are you?"

Wyot pinned the King on his bed and replied, "I am the son of Adelaide Ruby, the only survivor of your massacre.Wyot."

Wyot watched the King's eyes grow huge and he slashed his throat. Wyot breathed heavily and took a last look at the King's lifeless body. He turned back and saw the Prince standing at the door. The Prince looked at Wyot and gulped. Wyot ran after him and the Prince entered the Princess's chamber and woke her up.

"What is the matter, Jacinth?" the princess asked him.

"Someone massacred the whole palace. We need to flee and save our lives, Emerald." Jacinth said.

Emerald could feel terror in his voice so, she got out of the bed quickly.

"Let us go to the other world." Jacinth said and she nodded.

"Oh yes, you will" Wyot said as he entered the chamber.

"Who are you?" Jacinth asked him.

"I prefer to be informal with you because you are like my friend." Wyot replied.

"J-just answer me. What do you want?" Jacinth asked again.

"I have already gotten what I wanted, Jacinth. I wanted revenge and I got it. Let us rule this Kingdom together. I have nothing against you."

"Why do you want us to be together? Why don't you just kill me?"

"We have been through the same thing as a child. And unlike your father, I don't kill innocent people."

"Says the person who killed hundreds of innocent soldiers."

"They were not innocent. They were standing in my way."

"Why did you kill my father? What revenge are you talking about?"

"Questions on top of questions, Jacinth! I will make everything clear. Your father killed our mothers including my people and destroyed our homes."

"You are one of Adelaide's people!" Jacinth exclaimed.

Wyot was confused and asked, "How do you know her?"

"My mother was not the only one who knew about it. I had followed her once and saw everything. She found out and promised me to keep it a secret. I thought my father was wrong because he used to talk bad about the people of your kind. I thought you were good people because my mother always came back happily and shared with me the account of her day. But one day, your people killed her!"

"NO! It was your father who killed her including Adelaide; my mother."

"What! My father said that she had gone to meet Adelaide but they killed her."

"Dravite and his lies!" Wyot could not believe his ears and he continued, "That day, your Father and his men barged into our territory and he held everyone captive. I fled and was lucky enough to survive! Your mother begged him to show mercy but your filthy father killed everyone including her. You know how much he hated people like me. From that day, I waited for Dravite to grow old and weak so that I could plan this out. You have a choice, Jacinth. Stay with me and rule this place."

Jacinth was going crazy and he said, "You are lying! My father did not do anything. It was your mother. Adelaide killed my mother and I have hated her in my heart since that day."

"Dravite filled you with lies and hatred." Wyot was getting angry and he said, "I curse the both of you and your future generation. On the twentieth year of marriage, your blood and your blood's partner will face death."

Saying this, Wyot banished them to the other side and sealed the gateway forever. The next morning when the people found out that the King and his men were dead, they were shocked. That's when Wyot took a chance and said that he had seen people from other side kill the King. The people did not believe him first but Wyot showed them a fake hand written letter of the prince which stated that he and the princess were held captive. That's when Wyot volunteered to be the next ruler and the people started despising the other world."

Grivald pursed his lips and asked, "So, How did Wyot die?"

Gary frowned and replied, "Jacinth and Emerald's son killed Wyot hoping to lift up the curse but it didn't work."

"How did they find the portal?" Gary questioned.

"Maybe Jacinth had told them. I do not know about that."

"How did you know about the story and the portal?"

Gary paused and looked at the dusty books and replied, "Wyot kept an account of his everyday life. It is preserved in these books including his mother's writings."

"Wow!" Grivald exclaimed. He walked towards the books and asked, "Where did you get this?"

"It is a secret, Grivald. You will know once the time comes." Gary replied.

"And why did you want to kill Lore all this time?" Grivald asked.

Gary looked at the old books and smiled. The feeling being successful with his plan hit his mind and he replied, "Revenge."

Grivald was intrigued and he asked, "What for?"

Gary smiled and looked at him, "Finish what's left of Dravite."

Grivald gulped, "What do you mean?"

"He is Dravite's descendent. And I am Wyot's."

"W-Wyot?" Grivald stammered.

Gary nodded and his smile widened.

"But why him?"

"Because when Wyot died, the curse did not lift but it decreased. So, Lore's parents were the last ones and once I kill Lore and Leo, Dravite's family tree will end."

"What about Lore's uncles and all?"

"Darn it! Grivald, you are so stupid. They are already dead because of the curse and as far as I know, they had no children so, Lore and Leo are the only remaining descendent."
