APOCALYPSE (THR GODS AND THE KINGS)

THE PIGEONS ARRIVED

The pigeons arrived at the forts of the allies carrying the message of king ICARUS, not only being a powerful kingdom, but Sumer also had powerful allies from east to west Wavell, dralia, floating isle, and auquapis. The king of Wavell commissioned his council.

Minister Christos watched the king. "Your grace, you are looking happy," the minister Christos asked.

"Show that to minster Christos, Milos," the king said.

"king ICARUS wanted me to sail with him, that was a true fellowship minister what you say?" the king asked.

"Yes, your grace, but I suggest we should sail individually," the minister Christos said.

"No, we will sail concurrently when our fleet contacts the shores of wandala

let them know that we have already outnumbered them and let them fear so that they can pray to their dead gods," the king said sarcastically with a proud face.

"Send a pigeon that we will join them in the stretch of dancing sea," king advisor Milos replied.

The council meeting ended up.

In the garden of Sumer, on a pleasant sunny day, a girl was resting on a woman's lap under a tree, talking to each other. The women (Elena) were the wife of king advisor Aries, and the girl(aria) was the king's daughter.

"Elena, I have heard that my father is traveling to wandala. Do you know why?" aria asked.

"Yes aria, they will leave in two days, they were attending a wedding," Elena replied.

"a wedding doesn't sound strange to you, my father attending a wedding of wandala kings' daughter? there is something more than that I am so eager to know, can you ask your husband and tell me that," aria asked.

"I am also excited, but he doesn't speak about the council meetings," Elena replied.

"Not even if you request," aria asked.

"No, not even if gods commanded," Elena replied.

"Amazing, that's why my father trusts him more, I want a husband like him so loyal and brave," aria said.

"You are too little to think about your husband aria, you were just 15 years old", Elena replied.

"Yeah, but my body already pleasing for a mate," aria said.

"Shut up aria you are becoming nasty these days," Elena said.

"I just want to go with my father, so that at that wedding I can find a charming prince I have heard that the wandala prince was a most fascinating one," aria said.

"But you will get confused not only wandala, but the king and royal members of every kingdom are also attending," Elena said.

"Then that would be a perfect place for a pursuit," aria said.

"Bad luck your father is not taking a single family member," Elena said.

"Wait what, if my father was supposed to attend a wedding, he would have taken us, but he was leaving with his commander, I think it was more than a wedding," aria said.

"Brilliant, I think one day you will serve as an advisor for your brother," Elena said.

"No, I am not interested to be an advisor, I want to be a queen one day," aria said.

"But your brother is the heir," Elena said.

"So, I decided to wed a king, who will give me a throne," aria said and laughed.

Aria and Elena laughed for a while.

Prince Denis walked through the hall and entered the king's chamber, where the king's council had assembled; prince Denis stood calmly in front of the council.

"I am notified that you were leaving somewhere?" king Aragon asked.

"I am going hunting," prince Denis replied.

"Who gave you the authority," king Aragon asked.

"no one," prince Denis replied.

"Are you mad, Denis? King Aragon said that your sister's wedding is 2 days ahead, and you are leaving now; your actions disappoint me".

"I think you don't need my presence father; you had many kings to bother about at the wedding," prince Denis replied.

"What is your point, Denis," king Aragon asked.

"The blood of the Wilfort family runs through my veins, my ancestors were the lords loyal to the king and gods of wandala, and you wanted me to welcome and entertain the descendants of Achilles who killed our king and gods with demonic powers, you wanted me to aid that demons," prince demon replied.

"Remember my child, that blood you are proud about is mine," king Aragon said.

"Then kill them instead of hosting them for a wedding," prince Denis replied.

"We are hosting this for a cause; you need to understand that" minister Nicholas said.

"Is it? You better wear a skirt and discuss the cause with traitors," prince Denis replied.

"Be mindful, Denis, you were in the king's presence, and you are offending his minister," the king's advisor said.

"See you soon father," prince Denis said and left the chamber.

"Our prince reminds me of your father your grace," minister Nicholas said.

"My father always wanted a great wandala with all the kingdoms under his control, but he died in agony because he didn't find a single way to do so; I don't want my son to smash his entire life craving because some objectives never come true," the king Aragon said.

In the twilight, the grand master and his erudite are standing in the garden and staring at the flower.

"I have never seen a black rose; it was ravishing master," erudite Andrew said.

"Touch it," the grand master castor said.

Andrew went near it and touched it; the flower bloomed, emitting black smoke that stank like rotten flesh. Andrew came back coughing.

"What is that? it is not an ordinary flower," Andrew said with terror.

"No, it is not ordinary; rather, it was exceptional when the queen of humanoids was killed; goddess AHAN brought her dead body here and buried it with magical spells so that when the magical creature fertilizes again, the flower will bloom to indicate their existence," the grand master said.

"Hail mother AHAN, wait what did you say that goddess AHAN knows the magical spells," Andrew asked.

"Yes, she was master of spells, do know who defeated the queen of mystical humanoids?" the grand master asked.

"God ITZAMA," Andrew replied.

"No, ITZAMA failed, it was AHAN who killed the queen of darkness, AHAN learned the dark spells, used them and made the army of mystical humanoids vulnerable, then the ITZAMA accomplished the task," the grand master said.

"Then why did history tamper in books? They mentioned that ITZAMA alone killed them, "Andrew asked.

"History is a version of past events that the people have agreed upon," the grand master said.

"So, people had agreed to tamper with the past so that people will love the old gods rather than AHAN," Andrew said.

"Yes, they have meddled with the past," the grand master replied.

"Then, how do you know the fact," Andrew asked.

"It is passed from the grand master to the next grand master as an oath to keep as a secret," the grand master said.

Andrew was astounded to listen to the grand master's words and looked at him with a questioning face.

"Yes, I have named you as my legatee," the grand master said.

Andrew looked stunned, with tears rolling down his cheeks.

"Do you ever had wonder, why only you had combat training apart from other erudite," the grand master said.

Andrew bends his knee.

"Command me, grand master, whatever the mission you will accomplish, I will complete it, I swore it on my life," Andrew said.

"Gather few fine men, train them, and make sure that they do not have any relations after that find the old texts of wandala, it not only reveals the past, but it also helps us create a better future. find the way to destroy them," the grand master said.

"As you command master," Andrew said.

"Carry this sceptre; this will give you royal access in all the twelve kingdoms, reach myth island and enter into the vault; take as much as gold you want," the grand master said and gave the sceptre to Andrew.

Andrew holds the sceptre with a scornful face.

"Always remember If we do not learn from our past mistakes, we are bound to repeat them," the grand master said.

Andrew bowed to the grand master and left the place.

King Aragon starring at the statue of ITZAMA; meanwhile, her daughter arrived.

"Father, you wanted to see me," princess Dalia asked.

"Come my little dove," king Aragon said.

The king hugged and kissed her on the forehead.

"I was praying at the same place when your mother had contractions," the king said.

Princes Dalia remained calm.

"I was happier when a son was born to me, I am happy that I had an heir to look after my family reputation but while he is growing up, I noticed that he is more like my father and you are more likely to be a true queen," king Aragon said.

"What are you trying to tell me, father," princess Dalia asked.

"Last time when the mystical creature existed, they have done blood bath in the wandala. They have a true enmity with wandala; if anything happens to me, your brother will become the king; before your wedding promise me that you will assist your brother in formidable times, because he loves you more than anything," king Aragon asked.

"The gods are with you father, you had nothing to fear," princess Dalia said.

"Promise me, Dalia," the king asked.

Dalia stretched her arm.

"I promise by all-old gods," princess Dalia said.

"I have never seen you, worried father, what was that?" princess Dalia asked.

"As per the prophecy to defend the humans against the mystic humanoids, either there must be a true king on the throne of wandala or a god watching over the wandala; if this was true, our family was doomed," king Aragon said.

Princess Dalia stayed calm, and king Aragon moved away.
