1627 Words
"I guess that's all."Ze'l talks to himself as he packed the things he needed for the trip after the King insisted that he should go with his men, he took four potions in a bottle on top of his cabinet then drinks all. "I'm running out if this." Ze'l says to himself hoping he'll find herbs on the way to make the potions he needs, he walks out of the military base and waiting for him are his soldiers Farrell and Annaike included, a uncomfortable Lau who looked like he didn't want to be there, Igna and Archix suited up prepared for action and Jen who wasn't going but came to seek help from Ze'l she quickly drags Ze'l to a corner. "I know you don't have control over these things but please............ When you find them please don't kill Aila bring her back home to me." Jen pleads her eyes were filled with tears she was worried about the safety of her daughter. "Then what? You know how the King is, if Aila steps her foot back at the Capital she'll be killed for betrayal." Ze'l says softly there was nothing he could even do since he and the King weren't in good terms. "Yeah............ Just figure something out for me, I already begged the King but he didn't listen you know how he is." Jen says desperate, Ze'l puts his hand on her shoulder. "I'll figure something out I promise." Ze'l assures her. Lau mum arrives at the military base to bid her son farewell she also brought a bunch of foods in a box. "You might need this Lau, I packed your favorite snacks." She says to him, he took the box from her then let's out a heavy sigh. "He didn't listen to me, I tried my best." She tells him sadly, he had never left his home before and had no idea what to expect Igna who was beside him could see how he was crumbling inside. "Will you stop acting like a baby, we're probably not going to do anything there." Igna says sarcastically then enters the her carrier with her dad, Lau did the same he had a separate carrier Farrell on the other hand watches Ze'l walk to his carrier and imagined all the things that he could do to him if he had the chance. "Will you focus?" Annaike says disgusted by the way he drolls over the man that will never give him attention. "Do you think I'll have a chance with him?" Farrell says trying to have a lot of hope. "That's a weird man so I don't think so but maybe if you get those people that escaped he might give you a chance." Annaike pats his shoulder trying to give him some kind of hope. "Two of those people that escaped are my brothers." Farrell tells her since he had no one to talk to and confide in, he doesn't say any other thing and quickly enters his carrier the other thousands of soldiers entered other carriers too they were so much all ready to find Jolt. Ze'l gets inside his carrier and the journey began to find Jolt he tries to get some rest but he continued to hear disoriented voices of his brother which triggers multiple memories in his head. In a flashback thousands of years ago during the early wars, the first King of GOBTU gathered multiple men and women to prepare them for the upcoming wars that they were going for. "I need you all to prepare yourselves for what we'll be going for, the gods are betraying us and we need to fight back you all should get whatever what you need let's go for war." The King says mercilessly and everyone chants in his name praising him for doing all this fore the kingdom, Ze'l was also there chanting praises to the King he looked so much younger and clearly inexperienced Si'lanu taps him from behind this time he wasn't wearing a overall he was much more muscular, taller than his brother he had a low cut on his hair. "Let's go." Si'lanu says briefly and drags his younger brother out of the crowd to a very quiet corner, Ze'l wonders what he wanted to tell him. "We have a mission Ze'l, if we really want to win for the Kingdom we have to do something very important." Si'lanu says swiftly and brought out a map from his pocket, Ze'l who was inexperienced and a very young boy was scared about what his brother was talking about. "I don't want to get involved in any of your drama Si'lanu, I have more important things to handle." Ze'l says briefly not ready to get into any shenanigans Si'lanu was planning. "Important things? You mean fighting for the war with your kind of powers, what are you going to do? Tap the soldiers from other Kingdom and make them fall asleep with your powers? I know this thing that could increase the capacity of our powers Ze'l that'll make us bring real change." Si'lanu says boldly confident of the research he had done, Ze'l looks around the other soldiers who looked more muscular than him, they were all bragging about how powerful they were and how they were going to bring change in the Kingdom. "Fine you got me brother, what is this all about?" Ze'l says desperately, his brother hits him on the hand playfully happy that he wanted to join. "There was a day when I went for my many adventures and I discovered something very strange........... A magical pool of blood that is said to increase the capabilities of our powers by far, they are many magical animals there that we could experiment on with such powers in our hand Ze'l we could bring real change." Si'lanu says desperately he craved power and wanted the source all to himself and his brother who he could only trust, Ze'l checks the map out he wasn't a reader so he just agreed to whatever his brother wanted to do. A week later, Ze'l and Si'lanu journeyed around the forest looking for the pool Ze'l would rather be training than be doing this but Si'lanu promised him that this was worth more than millions of training they were so close both only had each other since they're parents unfortunate death Ze'l sat on a branch of a tree tired of walking. "Xom be my guide." Ze'l says to himself then sighs out, his brother walks towards him from behind. "We're going to be our guide." Si'lanu says sarcastically he sat beside his brother. "Do you think what the King is doing is right? Questioning the gods that doesn't feel right to me I don't know." Ze'l says confused about the decision. "I don't know the gods are actually very strange they stay up in the sky don't communicate with us." Si'lanu says gently he didn't have a lot of belief in them. "Don't say things like that, the gods could be hearing you." Ze'l cautions him, they both had different beliefs too Si'lanu could understand where the King was coming from he was also power thirsty they hear a sudden shake on the ground Si'lanu quickly brings out the map from his pocket. "We're almost there." Si'lanu says excited then runs off to find it Ze'l followed him from behind and after running for minutes they arrived in front of a huge cave without hesitation Si'lanu ran inside. "Wait for me brother." Ze'l says he was quite scared of the creepy looking cave but didn't want to be here all alone so her ram after his brother. Inside the cave is a huge pool filled with water and different breeds of magical animals Ze'l was astonished by how big and magical the place was his brother who was standing in front of him was also amazed he couldn't believe that they could get here. "Let's dig in." Si'lanu says and runs towards the blood but Ze'l stops him. "Shouldn't we tell the King first? Everyone needs to know about this." Ze'l says carefully not willing to do something that could endanger their lives but Si'lanu objected. "You sound dumb little brother, telling people about this place could jeopardize our work only both of us should know about this." Si'lanu says authoritatively, Ze'l didn't want to argue with his brother so he just nodded positively. In the present, Ze'l and the others arrived at the spot Jolt and the others were yesterday everyone dispatches into team to find her. Igna and Lau with some soldiers were roaming around one side of the forest. "So Aila?" Igna says with such a tender tone unlike other times she spoke with him. "The only reason I'm happy to be here." Lau says keeping a keen eye hopefully he could find Aila somewhere in the forest. "You must really have a big heart to still be looking for her after she betrayed you." Igna didn't enjoy talking with him but she had no choice since he was the only one she could talk too. "What do you mean by that?" Lau says confused he always knew how to ignore her but what she said had just triggered him. "I mean she told you to get a key for her then she runs off without thinking of the implications that could happen." Igna says manipulative. "You know............ Maybe you're right....... Nah, Aila could never betray me." Lau says confidently having faith in Aila. "You spend your time trusting people? Could never be me, I don't even trust my own father." Aila says eloquently then slowly walks away from Lau joining the soldiers in front of him.
