Love And War

Old king Oliver was sitting on a chair next to the wall but one meter close to the back right side window covered with a red curtain flying gently with the help of the gentle breeze, two meters in front of the table before him was a bed covered with a soft brown silk duvet and a lady sleeping wearing a white night gown. A old almost fully faded photograph paper was in his hand and he flashback to the time of the old fading pictures in his hands. It was a sunny day in Bellator kingdom, Arthur a well known man, agreed to be the strongest and bravest hunter in the kingdom was cutting down woods he got from a fell tree. Arthur was so strong he was recognized with a nickname Bellator, even though it was the name of their kingdom. Bellator means warrior and the kingdom was named Bellator because of the gift they have to cast magic which other kingdom don’t have except those who learn it. The only person who does not have a magic in Bellator kingdom was the princess and this had made prince of other kingdom refused her because they think she might have been cursed by the gods of the kingdom. Arthur has two sons given to him by his pretty wife Maria. She is a beautiful lady with a blonde hair that matches with her skin color and her ocean like eyes that made people admire her beauty while some other ladies jealous of her, especially her gift of magic which seem like she was blessed with everything. Her amazing magical power can heal anyone with any kind of illness or injuries. Arthur experience her great magic when he burst into a fight with Mr. Blake, Maria’s step father because of his greediness and his wants to get Maria married to a very wealthy man or a king not considering that his step daughter feelings. He sent men to kill Arthur so he can make Maria marry a wealthy man but Arthur fought with the gangster though he could not defeat all even with is magical power to make a living person he touched bloodless, ten of Twenty men were knocked down by him but he was badly injured. Till one of the gangster used magical power to make Arthur sink into the ground, he was trapped and surrounded by the rest of the gangster. He thought this was the end as tears rolled down in his eyes when he looked down especially when he thought of his wife but he was saved by his love blinded wife who brought men after hearing the news that he was attacked. Maria healed Arthur who is still breathing unrelieved like it was his last. After the incident Arthur stopped to persuade his father in law for his blessings for him and Maria’s marriage and ran away with her till this present time that they both now live in Bellator kingdom. It has been Twenty four years Arthur and Maria already have a lovely family with two sons Olivia and Drexel, The both of them are a twin even though Drexel came out a month before his brother Olivia, They both never quit fighting each other all the time and this is majorly because Drexel tries to prove he is older than his brother even though it is just a month. “you can never buy a day from the market talk less of a month which I have as your elder brother” was his saying to Olivia. Drexel is no doubt stronger and taller than his brother Olivia, his power is amazing creating any weapon he wants when he thinks about it. While Olivia power is called chaos because it deals with lighting and weather so he was never allowed to use his power because they were too dangerous for anyone. His father took him to the power sealer to seal away Olivia powers to avoid chaos and harm to anyone. Olivia was weak for this reason that he can’t fight as much as his brother who has his full strength. Drexel saw this as advantage for him to make his brother bow to him even if they both are twenty years old, Olivia no longer see Drexel as a twin but a elder brother that could send him on errand, even his parents no longer complain because Drexel was better than his brother in almost everything except been smart and kind. Arthur guided his family at all times and never let any harm get to them but unfortunately one day when Maria’s father became the chief of Neha Kingdom. Maria’s step father Blake Winchester, who is well known for wickedness in everything but worst when he wants to get revenge sent a full army to Arthur’s house to kill everyone. Arthur as usual fought with the enemies with the help of his son Drexel to ensure their safety till they were weak and could not move as fast as they do in the starting of the fight. Olivia fought but he could barely knock down one man as he was weak till his mother hit the man he was fighting with a rod. Maria helped Olivia heal his wounds and broken leg after he knocked out the opponent he was facing through luck and her help but From behind the leader of this evil armies grabbed Maria and threw her to the wall, Olivia tries to fight the man but he was no better than a stone when the man threw him through the window out of the house too and he fainted. Arthur could see his wife screaming but he was not fast enough to get to the enemy as he knelt down begging, his tears mixed with the bloodstain on his face but the leader of the troops did not listen to Arthur as he did what he has promised their chief to kill Maria and her family. “No oo ” Arthur screamed as Maria fell to the floor, he ran towards the man and stabbed him morethan he has done to anyone before and the leader of the troops fell beside his lifeless wife. Drexel also full of rage started to fight with uttermost of his strength. The rest of the army flee after seeing the rage in the eyes of Drexel and his father but they made sure they burned the house down. Arthur sustained a leg fracture during the incident and the one who used to heal him was already on the ground lifeless. After two years of the incident ,Olivia still blamed himself for what happened to his mother even his family won’t let him not to, he trained in the best way he could that he became stronger than he was before. “I will remember my wife better this way”Arthur said to those who wants to heal him and this led to the end of the great hunter praises but he was still acknowledge by all. Drexel joined the Bellator kingdom army and he was very strong that he was promoted to be the special guardian of the princess who was magic less. Drexel has been the special guardian of the princess now for two years and he has started having feelings for Katina the princess, Katina loved Drexel personalities even though she does not have same feelings for Drexel the way he does for her. All those times that Drexel was already great and respected by the people in the kingdom, his brother Olivia was still struggling to make himself achieve his goal which is to kill Mr. Blake the Neha Kingdom chief. Olivia needed his magic now as he went to the power sealer. “only the person who asked for lock of the power can ask me for the unlock of it" The power sealer said to Olivia. Olivia went home and forged a letter with his dad signature. He came back with a letter and the power sealer asked why he brought a letter instead of his father. “My father can’t walk so he sent a letter of approval”. The power sealer knew Olivia was lying but he released the power because he saw greatness and desperation in him. Olivia Mastered his powers in the desert for a year and then went straight to the Neha Kingdom. Olivia killed the chief with is two headed axe after lot of the men of the chief were knock down. Olivia is arrested by the Neha army but the king of Bellator kingdom after hearing about him and his power, sent a messenger to inform the king of Neha Kingdom to release him to the Bellator kingdom. The Neha Kingdom fear Bellator army because they have magical powers which they don't, so they released him to the king of Bellator kingdom. Olivia power was taken back from him when he got back to Bellator kingdom but he was praised because he did what a thousand army of Bellator kingdom would have done with their magical power alone, he became the one loved by the people because Neha Kingdom is an old time enemy of the Bellator kingdom. Olivia plead to the king that he will never repeat the same incident again but the king as a plan of his own for Olivia. The king accepted Olivia with a deal that his powers will be returned to him but he has to join the Bellator kingdom army, The Bellator seven elders were shocked because the king as never given anyone that kind of deal even if you are very strong. “My lord you can just command him to join the army you don't have to make a deal to make a deal with him or should I ask why you made a deal with him my lord ?” The first elder asked with a force smile on his face as he made a bow. “something is special about him that you all can’t see” the king replied giving back same face expression to the first elder. Olivia accepted the offer immediately with joy. Olivia became a weapon for the Bellator kingdom against any kingdom, he was used in battles like a god. his name has spread round to other kingdoms. Drexel and his father were so proud of him till the very day he set his eyes on Katina the princess whom his brother wanted so much. Katina is the only child and daughter of the king, she traveled about on the king’s behalf in some occasions that are really not important to the kingdom such as parties or celebration and Sting kingdom had just invited the Bellator kingdom to feast in their kingdom. The Sting kingdom is a far away kingdom from the Bellator kingdom, the journey to get to the Sting kingdom will take two days but if the horse is fast it will take one day straight without rest. The two kingdoms have not really had any thing to do with each other since the last war they had with thier self because of their special power and both of them are not willing to bow for the other in term of power. The Bellator kingdom was always victorious whenever this both strong kingdom fought war against their selves. Sting kingdom as made another person their king and this king has planned to make peace with the Bellator kingdom saying they should act as one instead of been enemies of each other, King Philip of the Sting kingdom wrote a letter to the king of Bellator kingdom “I will like to meet with you king Rufus for the peace of our kingdoms” King Rufus of Bellator kingdom accepted to see him in person, he and king Philip both talked in peace and settled the scores of their both kingdoms and talked about their trade as they both became friends like they have never fought before. King Rufus after receiving the letter of invitation from the Sting kingdom sent his daughter Katina to the feast on behalf of him since he was busy in his own kingdom but talked to Drexel to give him information if anything goes wrong. Katina went with her right hand man Drexel and some other guards not up to the count of hundred, She got to the kingdom and she was welcomed well even though king Philip was expecting the king himself. "the king is not doing fine so he is not see to attend but he ask me to be here on his behalf" the princess said giving king Philip a smile. King Philip accepted the excuse and ordered that the feast begin The feast began and Drexel has started noticing that the feast will not be a peace full one as he heard the priest of the Sting kingdom and the king talking about how to win Bellator kingdom if the king himself is not the one been captured but he could not listen for long when the priest sensed that someone unwanted was listening to them. Drexel had to stop straining his ears to hear more and leave as the priest came out at him. He alerted the men to watch over the princess much better now and he himself as also stayed more vigilant. Katina noticed Drexel and asked why he is so worried and had the face of a thief watching if someone was coming, he told her the truth but to his surprise the princess fainted in front of him that moment because she has drank a sleeping dose from the drink she was served. The Sting kingdom immediately stop the feast and their armies rushed out surrounding the Bellator armies. Drexel saw that they had no chance to win even though they start a fight so he ordered the men to surrender but before Drexel even told the princess about what he heard from the Sting king and priest he had sent a message to the king of Bellator kingdom that if they don’t come back in the next two days the king should send a full army of war to rescue them. The king received the letter the second day and he knew there was trouble already so he sent hundred thousand men with their god of war Olivia to Sting kingdom. The king Philip was just planning to send their message to the king of Bellator kingdom to surrender their selves under the Sting kingdom if he wants to see his daughter again known fully the king will do it because he knows how much he cherished his only daughter. Olivia came with his army of hundred Thousand requesting for the princess back immediately. King Philip refused as he ordered his men to take them down but before the war could start getting close Olivia had taken almost all the men of king Philip down by striking them with lightning, the weather has changed the sound of lightning was heard everywhere in the Sting kingdom the princess imagined what was happening outside and wondered if it was a person who has this kind of magic power but Drexel already knew his brother had come. Olivia struck almost all the building of the king of Sting kingdom down and threaten to kill everyone in the kingdom if the people of Bellator kingdom are not released onto him instantly. King Philip feared so much that his heart was pounding like they will jump out of him and he thought to himself that this is Olivia the devil every kingdom is talking about “I have never seen this kind of power before,who his this man, a wizard or his he really the reborn of Thor that the people refer him to be” king Philip was lost in his thought.He released everyone of the Bellator kingdom to Olivia and that was the first time Olivia and the princess saw each other, it was a long stare between them as they both loved each other from that moment. Katina was lost as Olivia help her up to her Chariot, she looked at his dark hair and his magical brown eyes . “princess” Olivia said looking in her eyes to make her realize that she was holding him and he needed to go. Olivia took the princess and everyone of the Bellator kingdom home including his brother, Katina talked to Olivia through the journey they went. “Oh I feel lie kissing her pink lips how will they belike or will they even taste like” Olivia thought to himself till he snapped out of it through fear of the royal highness even though he did not realize that the princess noticed his thoughts. The king was so happy to see his daughter again he gave Olivia and his brother lot of gift and gold, he also gave Olivia promotion to be higher than everyone else in the kingdom except himself. Olivia was so happy and scared as the princess came to him and kissed him in a passionate way in front of the king though The king did not react as Olivia as imagined he will, the king was happy that his daughter loved a better man after she has refused all the prince and wealthy men he has brought to her to marry. After a year both Olivia and Katina became the two lover bird of the kingdom that everyone one love to see together but Drexel and the seven elders of the Bellator kingdom are unhappy about this which made Drexel resigned from being the special guardian of the princess since most of the time she is always with Olivia who was his brother and he knew she would be protected by him. Drexel was heart broken that his brother came and took all the good things he has ever achieved great and wanted in his life but Olivia did not know of his brother’s pain or broken heart because he never knew his brother had a crush on the princess neither did he think he was stealing the spotlight his brother wanted. He got close to the princess that she can’t do a day without seeing him while the seven elders went to the king to question the reason he made a law that another man should be higher than them in the kingdom which is not in the book of Bellator laws to do such but the king was not willing to change his command so the elders went to Drexel who has now quit been a soldier in Bellator kingdom. The Seven elders came to Drexel and was about to pet him to work with them to take over the kingdom and to do this they had to act like they understand what he was going through but he already knew why they came “I can’t help you do what you think I will do for you” Drexel said in a calm unconcerned tone, getting his hands busy as he helped his father divide woods in two with an axe. Drexel refused until the first elder thought and told him that he will make sure he got the princess which he loves. At this point Drexel was willing to do anything as far as he will get the princess so he joined their plan to take over the kingdom. The seven elders went to the prison to release Luther illegally, a dead hand criminal who has the power to cause Earthquakes. They also spent hundred silver to get thousands of mercenaries for Drexel to command so that he can take over the kingdom and make them the ruler. Olivia and his wife unaware of anything were also planning to marry each other after a year but the king already knew something bad will happen soon cause the priest of the Bellator kingdom already told him that a bad omen will happen in the kingdom that will tear the kingdom apart so he told them to get married immediately. The wedding preparation began and the kingdom of Bellator was happy as the day came but the wedding of Olivia and Katina was ruined by Drexel even though the elders had told him not to attack that day because their have not furnished their plan well to take down Bellator kingdom. Drexel and his mercenaries took over the kingdom as they killed so many of the armies of Bellator kingdom, Olivia could not believe his brother could do such a thing to him, so did the other villager think too. He challenged Olivia to a duel where no one can use magical power, he won Olivia by knocking him out with a huge blow to the side skull and Olivia fainted because he was not willing to fight his own brother in the first place. The princess is kidnapped by Drexel and he stopped following the elders plan and instructions as he left them to die in Bellator kingdom. The king was heartbroken as he order his men to arrest the elders and flog them till they bled and could not walk when he found out they were part of the plan. Olivia woke up in his father arms on the bed the next day, he stood up and could not look his father in the eyes but his father already knew that he was full of rage already “please have mercy on your brother, you can’t take the life of your own blood brother Olivia my son, you know that right ?” Arthur asked but Olivia looked down with a frown and he did not answer his father as he walked out of the house in his armor to the palace. Olivia saw the king crying and he himself could not hold back as he pat the old man. “I will bring back your daughter I promise" Olivia said to the old king. The elders were still not still willing to confess their sin and plan, thinking that Drexel will come and save them instead Olivia came and forced them to say their plan and confess everything they did. “We have made an agreement with king Philip of the Sting kingdom and Drexel as taken Katina there” the second elder said in fear of more punishment. Olivia with a fury face gathered all his best men to wage war on the Sting kingdom and this time to destroy the kingdom finally. In Sting kingdom Drexel order his men to bring the princess from the prison for discussion. Katina saw Drexel and she could not hold back her words "I hate you, how could you do this" she said as tears fall from her eyes but Drexel was not moved by her words. He believes that if he should prove to her that he his better than his brother she would acknowledge him. Drexel ordered his female maid to take her the washroom to make sure she take her bath “we can discuss after your bath don’t you think ?” She was dragged off to the bathroom by the maid as One of the first elder messenger came to Drexel to report that the elders are been tortured that he needs to save them “I have no use for them again I appreciate them but they are not useful to me anymore but you are useful to me now” Drexel said as he asked the messenger to give him information about his brother. The messenger told Drexel that Olivia was coming with army to destroy the whole of Sting kingdom. Drexel then informed king Philip to prepare for war king Philip was scared as he heard Olivia was coming so he said he can’t continue because he knew how dangerous Olivia power is but Drexel confused him and told him to calm in taking the risk,that he will take care of his brother and hand over the kingdom of Bellator to the king. King Philip was convinced by Drexel so he gathered his men for the incoming war. The third day of the incident at noon, Olivia arrived with his armies and in his hand a black trumpet, he blew it till everyone in Sting kingdom heard. The armies of the Sting kingdom just came out readily prepared for battle cause they were already expecting him. “I will wipe out the whole of Sting kingdom not caring about any one if I don’t get what I want instantly” he said in a dangerous tone. “even if it was me right ?” Drexel said after a Evil laughter, he brought out the princess with chain on her hand and leg. Drexel told Olivia to better face him man to man and any one who wins will get the princess. “I’m not here as her husband alone, I am also here as a commander and I will do exactly as I have said now that I will wipe out the whole of the Sting kingdom” Olivia replied. Drexel then said you asked for it as he started stepping back when an earthquake caused by Luther started in the middle of Olivia armies that killed half of them while some quarters ran off but the rest scattered and rearranged themselves. After this Olivia looked up as the weather changed, lighten struck down all the men in front of him but Luther the criminal and Drexel escaped with the princess. Drexel now gather the priest as they casted a spell like smoke that any body who sniff it will be powerless, unknown to Olivia as he entered the smoke with two of his men and they all became powerless, they could not use their magical power anymore. Drexel covered his nose to avoid the spell effect on him too so after he sensed how weak his brother was he dragged him to a open space and hit him till he started bleeding while his men were killed by Drexel men. “I remember those days when I will beat you just like now because I am always greater than you and I will make your Katina watch just how better I am than you”. Drexel said after several beaten he has served Olivia. The princess was crying so bad that she could not look at Olivia any longer, Olivia stood up as he was staggering like he will fall immediately but he did not “yeah I remember that you are always greater than me nevertheless better but did you know why I’m picked to be greater and smarter than you ?, I know how to stand up on the right path when I fall”. Drexel was so angry this time about what his brother said that he was coming at Olivia like he was ready to kill him finally but he came back to his senses that he can’t kill his brother because of a woman and all what his brother just said is true. “I have proved my point to Katina that I am better than you cause I can kill you right now but I will not because father will collapse and you have fought so hard than anyone to get here" Drexel said as he walked towards the princess and break the chains and shackles on her legs and hand with his sword. Olivia kept staring with tears of relief in his eyes as Katina hugged him and he almost fell to the floor "thank you" Katina said to Drexel but she could not look at his face as he gestured a reply with his head and went out. Drexel controlled his men and they rose against the Sting kingdom and overcome them putting king Philip on cuff. Drexel gave the cuffed king to the Bellator armies as he hugged his brother saying that he has to leave to create a world for himself, even though Olivia tried to stop him he did not listen cause he was already determined as he rode in his horse with his mercenaries including Luther. After twelve years the king died and Olivia was pronounced their king as the people pleased, he and his wife just got a new baby girl after their first son Claudia. The party to welcome their new baby to their world began and it became more interesting when they received a surprise approach of another king which was Olivia brother. Nobody understood how he became a king on his own but they were all happy and grateful to him after hearing that he was the one that cause the defeat of the Sting kingdom. Olivia and Drexel took a white and black photograph to celebrate their reunion with their father Arthur and the new born baby in Katina hand while Claudia was in the middle in front of his grandpa. "Such a long time ago" Olivia said with a smile as tears was about to drop from his eyes but he cleaned them as Katina turned to him. "Good morning my lord" "morning my love hope you had a good night rest" Olivia replied Katina with a smile. she noticed the photograph in his hands so she stood up half naked as she wore her night gown and walked to him putting her hands around his neck and kissed him "it is over now, this times are now past where we have our love and fought our war" she said to relieve Olivia as he stood up from his chair holding her both hands as he dragged her close and hugged her.
