1045 Words
"I'm sorry for what happened to you Kurt. I will see what I can do to help you out. Take care of Roselle, I'll be back." Mia said as she went forward to address the people of the kingdom. "You got what to say?" The seer asked and Mia just nodded. "Fellow citizens of the Sparrow Kingdom, I've heard and seen in the little time I've spent here, what the king, Smith had done to you. He did not only deny you of your right but he also made your families to be shattered. But we won't let him go with all what he did!" Mia Shouted and the people echoed yes. "Punish him in front of us!" "Stone him to death!" "Let him go naked!" Mia knew that these people are so angry and they don't care what happens to the person that made their lives to be shattered. But, what they requested is hard to do. If the seer hadn't kill Smith, he would have been presentable to the people, but now that he's dead, there's nothing else they could do to revive him. Mia turned to look at the seer, giving her a 'see what you caused' stare. The seer stared back at her before signalling for her to see her. They both got away from the crowd and the seer told Mia that she could do something about Smith's corpse. She explain further that it is a fake life magic trick. The seer casted the magic spell on Smith's ashy corpse, it first changed into a skeleton before it finally changed into a real human corpse and immediately, it had opened it's eyes. When the seer opened her mouth, the corpse had also open its mouth. When she shut her mouth, it had also did the same thing. She tried walking around, and the corpse had also copied her movement. "This is so perfect." The seer said with excitement, the fake life magic trick is a rare trick that can only be performed by master wizards and puppeteer. The trick is that, the item follows the movement of the associated host. And the seer had made the corpse to follow her movements and actions. The only thing left is the speech. The seer said some words but the corpse was unable to say the words faster. She tried again by slowing down her speech and surprisingly, the Corpse spoke the words faster than what the seer had said. "So, your fast words is the corpse slow words while your slow words is the corpse fastest word." Mia theoretically said. "Yeah, is it bad?" The seer asked, while busy changing the clothes of the corpse. "No, I mean that it's the coolest magic trick I've ever seen." Mia said. "Hmnph!" The seer sighed loudly, "Soon I'm gonna be teaching someone my magic. And the person is the youngest person I will ever teach in my life." The seer said as a smile appeared on her face. "Is the person a female?" Mia asked, wondering who the seer's new disciple would be. "Yeah, she's a female and she's so lovely to be with. She have talents and she's also skillful with her talents." The seer said. "Wow, I can't wait to meet the person. Perhaps I could learn some things from her." Mia said. "I guess you like music, you can sing right?" The seer asked. "Yeah, but I haven't sung since I've left the king." Mia said sadly. "Why? are you missing him and you don't want to sing because you will keep on thinking about him??" The seer asked. "Oh, seer. You're making me regret leaving the Darwin kingdom." Mia said and the seer just laughed it off. "Don't worry, my disciple is also a singer like you. She will love to sing with you." The seer said and Mia heaved a sigh of relief. After the seer changed the clothes that Smith was wearing into a white and long sleeve shirt, they proceeded on going back to meet the people. The seer told Mia to hold the corpse hands, pretending to capture it, while she will stay a little far away from them, so that she could demonstrate the actions well and talk without anyone noticing or knowing that Smith is a corpse. Mia did as the seer had said, she held the two hands of the Corpse and directed the corpse to the front of everyone. The dead Smith was tied to a pole and some guards that weren't there when he was killed by the seer stood beside him with their swords for guidance. The seer could see all what is happening through the dead Smith's eye so if anything is to happen, she would know. Mia stood in front of everyone as she started talking; "This is the person that caused problems into your lives, what do wish to do with him?" Mia asked. "Stone him to death!!" The people all echoed but before could say anything, they had all started throwing stones at the supposed Smith. Mia and the guards left Smith's side to avoid getting hit by the stones that were being threw by the people. Everyone was really angry and Mia could see that. After they stoned the supposed alive Smith to death, the people stopped throwing stones but their crying didn't stop at all. Those who were still searching for their families are crying, those whose family members had been killed was also crying. Those whose father or mother or children has been sold off to another kingdom as slave, were also crying. They all made their way towards Mia but the guards quickly stopped them from getting to her. There is one thing that Mia is wondering and have not gotten any answer to it. It was how the people knew that she is the conqueror. Since the seer is now around, she could just ask the seer later. The corpse of Smith was taken away by some guards and the seer was making her way towards the front of the people. "A great change will be happening soon, I guess we are going to be staying here a little longer than I planned." The seer said as she saw a vision.
