Silent Gods

CHAPTER 7

On the eastern borders of Koshen, there lies a city called Vahanis, this city houses all the battle maniacs of Koshen and also three princes, Prince Munan, second son of King Munak, the decimator of cities, Koshen’s Fire, he alone conquered four cities from the kingdom of Pavon and defended them while covered in flames, a fair in complexioned man, with shirt ripping muscles and a great sword always attached to his waist, he is contracted to three spirits, one S ranked and two SS ranked, the next prince is Prince Nathan, third son of King Munak, the Poison Prince, grey in colour and has greenish purple spots all over his body, it is believed that he alone killed 25,000 troops of Pavon by just landing in their middle, when he is not fighting, he is wears anti-poison armour, the third prince that lives in the town of Vahanis is known as Prince of Reptiles, Scaled Prince, Prince Chenan, he is half dragon, half human, his mother is the third daughter to the War King of Dragok, war commander of Dragok, kingdom of Dragons. King Munak married his mother to gain access to dragon breath gold located deep in the mountains of Hasha, a place where dragons mate and train their young ones, the marriage is a trade alliance arrangement that grants Koshen access to Mt Hasha once every ten years, at a certain point the elders of Dragok, told the Emperor to annul such arrangement but the birth of Prince Chenan solidified that deal for many generations to come, even till today there are some dragons that are against the Trade Alliance Arrangement.

In a gold plated tent at the edge of Koshen facing the borders of Pavon, three men are overlooking a map “Munan, we need to go and see our eight brother, I just got word that he has been born” Prince Chenan says “if you want to go you can go, I need to upgrade my S ranked spirit to SS ranked soon the world tournament will soon begin and by then I must place in the top hundred, slack on your training because you want to see a new born child” Prince Munan says while walking out of the tent “Chenan, lets train more, by the time we go back, our brother will adore us because of our strength, saying that I feel one of my spirits is about to breakthrough to SSS rank, so see you later, I am going to beat up some soldiers of Pavon” Prince Nathan says while running towards Pavon’s troops.

Meanwhile back in Kosen, the king, queen mother and the Lord of Kosen are in a closed door meeting “Son, what was the reason for putting a ban on me seeing my grandson, is he a cripple?, what could be so bad that will make you ban I his grandmother from seeing him” Queen Sansha asks King Munak “Queen Mother, the Prince is really sick and his body becomes very weak once in a while, I was even about to call my brother to dedicate resources to build him a palace on the west of our borders so that he will stay there while being treated by the healers of Cavax, after the fourth full moon he should have been cured of his sickness and by then we all can go see him” the king replies his mother, the queen gets up and looks deeply into the kings eyes, she bows and walks out of the room, Prince Shunak goes closer to the king “brother I do not believe that is all you would want me to do” the king looks to his right and sighs “he also contracted five spirits and they are all stronger than mine” the king tells his brother, he gets up from his throne, walks to his brothers seat and grips his shoulders “What!, are you serious or you miscalculated, what would you do now?, is this the child of prophecy?” Prince Shunak asks while looking shocked, the king walks back to his throne and slumps on it “brother we need to keep this under wraps, inculcate the border town of Taris into the palace, make it a kingdom if need be at least that should reduce the possibility of that occurring, then a protector has also been assigned to him, so create a tournament, the winner will be adopted by the king as patron for one of his sons, his family will be taking care of forever by the royal household and a sum total of 1000 Transcendent grade magic orbs” Prince Shunak looks at the King in shock after hearing the awards for the winner “1000? Is that not too much, I understand you want to seriously lure the protector out but 1000? Brother a m******e will occur in this tournament” the king sighs “It is a must that all citizens participate, the rank of spirit is F to SSS, the princes are also allowed to participate, the two spirits assigned by the five to protect the eighth prince are the Golden King Ape and Dark Poison Viper, those two are SSS ranked, also my son has contracted from birth the Wingless Blue King Dragon, Emperor Unicorn, Nine Tailed Queen Fox, Undead King Horse and a bird I know nothing about, now the four spirits are SSS ranked but I do not know what that bird is, if it is an ordinary phoenix, it is SS ranked but if it is not, then I pray it is not the Golden Emperor King Phoenix, because contractors of that spirit don’t live long, I also believe that might be what is causing his sickness or it could be his body reacting to the Undead King Horse, the healers of Cavax will know what to do” the king looks at Prince Shunak with seriousness “the palace should have a barrack, an arena, an X rank spirit training ground just in case of what I fear, an advanced medical bay, a throne room the size of this one we are currently in, a garden large enough to contain all medicinal herbs known to man and a war room, the barrack should be large enough to contain 50,000 troops that will be trained separately by the Chief Kings Guard, a forest of Transcendent beast should also be added in this palace, an artificial stream of Divine grade orbs should be placed in the middle of the forest, enriching it at all times, now brother how much will that cost?” Prince Shunak gets up, grips the arm rest of his chair, rests on the shoulder point of his chair, stands upright, takes a seat, crosses his right leg over his left leg and taps his arm rest with his finger “with addition of the artificial stream, 1,000,000 Transcendent grade orbs i.e. 10,000 Divine grade orbs, without the stream…” the king points at him “the stream is very important, extremely important, how much do we have in the royal vault and if we remove such funds, how extreme will it be economic wise?” Prince Shunak replies “the royal vault currently houses over 10,000,000 Transcendent grade orbs, reason being we invested 5,000,000 Transcendent grade orbs in raising the spirit rank of 50,000 additional troops deployed to Dragok, if we remove a million orbs, we are left with nine million orbs, if we apply a kings guard form of training to the 50,000 troops for the ninth prince’s palace, the vault will be left with at least 7,500,000 orbs, what I will suggest will be that we both personally contribute the money needed for this secret project which will remove spies of the royal household leaking the news of such construction to mother, for you not to involve her you must have a reason why but I also suggest we put a Divine magic dome over this project to protect from prying eyes”
