2451 Words
On reaching the heavy metal doors to the dining hall of the king, Hareena and her friends see what seemed to be a large arena in the center of the room filled with desert sands, the dining table was atop the arena made of a very large transparent table, the king, Queen, council elder members and other dignitaries were already sited in this lavishly decorated table filled with exotic drinks of many kind, zendaliions fruits and vegetables, and roasted meat of an animal similar to that of large ostriches. Below the hall were some guards standing in a straight line all huge and dangerously frightening in looks strength and power, staring up Hareena and her friends see Tony sited in-between Jasma and Sahilliyah, with a frown Hareena walks up the stairs sitting opposite them, smiling coquettishly the Queen mutters to her daughters in their language
“tanus err bak tah nom”, Jasma gives them a mocking smile, as Hareena and her friends sit down the Queen continues” how good of you to finally join us”
“Have a taste of our mesmerizing delicacies please” Sahilliyah said smiling politely at them,” you all must be really hungry from all the trouble you went through”
“Please have a bite” one of the council men urged them seeing as Tony was trying to avoid Hareena’s eyes, Jasma notices then she chips in
“Father, when will brother prince konam return, I haven’t seen him in thirteen years”
“Soon Jasma, soon” replied the king taking a bite from the meat, he turns to Hareena asking
“I hear you weren’t happy about your father”
“Actually it’s your daughter I am not happy with your majesty” Hareena says staring unflinchingly at Jasma taking a bite from the meal while Jasma sipped a drink watching her with dead eye glaring grin, cleaning his hands with a white cloth the king continues
“Well Hareena of earth, you have absolutely nothing to be worried about, your father is in absolute great care and protection here”
“Forgive our daughters bashing behavior; she likes to live by the sword”
“And so by it shall she die” Hareena snapped, the entire royals stare quietly at the remark from her, one of the female council elders make a interrupts the silence
“We are grateful for the four of you in enabling the return of the Princess and the tezra”
“So do we get to go home?” Edward asks staring at the king
“about that..” the king tries to reply when suddenly the huge metal door of the hall opens widely as the prince walks in, with his tall, handsome and dark shaded eyelashes, he seemed to have canine teeth and a smile that would melt the hearts of any woman in zendaliion looking strong and well-built also, he was wearing battle armor holding a sword, he throws it on the ground saying in a husky mild voice
“Mother, Where is my sister?”
Quickly Jasma leaves the table jumping down to land on her brother with a hug; they all smiled and grimaced with a sigh of relief as he turned her round before stopping
“I haven’t seen you since you ran away from us dear sister”
“I thought you all dead from the uprising” Jasma replied with so much joy which Tony and Hareena had never seen before, Sahilliyah whispers to them “konam make her happy”
“You look well, were you coming from battle?” Jasma asks staring at his armor
“What can I say dear sis, someone has to keep the peace around here”
“Come sit and eat before you interrupt our announcement and entertainment” their mother the Queen said from the table as they floated to their sits
“I hear you are getting married sister, where’s this lucky man” prince konam asks nodding a greeting smile to all on the table.
“You are about to meet him” she replied, Hareena gives Tony a sharp look that read shock at hearing what prince konam had just said, the prince and Princess sit beside each other, he stares at the humans then he grins amusedly “they look like us”
“Konam!” Sahilliyah snaps “don’t be rude”
“Sorry visitors from earth, welcome to our world which am sure you already have seen one of our many wonders, but not every wonder as this” his gaze falls on Hareena, with a calm dilated eye he stares continuing “my name is prince konam Neroy of Zendaliion”
“It’s an honor to meet you” Tony replies watching his friends nod in respect except Hareena who stared down at the arena as it was set, looking at Tony the prince asks
“You must be the one most important person of all zendaliions now”
“Seems so” Tony replied, feeling disappointed
The king claps his hands for attention, looking down the arena he orders “it’s good to have all the entire family here after such a long time and also to appreciate the presence of our guests please, let us enjoy this feast in silence as it is our custom”, after a brief moment making sure all have eaten, the king stands up, and the servants quickly fix back his royal attire, he stares at all of them on the table
“Our daughter Princess Jasma of Zendaliion, our most feared and future Queen of this great empire has returned to us” he turns to Tony “and also the tezra and its vessel Tony of earth have also been returned, without both our future would have been at stake and for that we have decided to unify them in bond of marriage which this empire has never seen before”
“What!” Edward gasps looking at Tony who didn’t stare back, it seemed that was the reason he was sad and emotionless earlier, Hareena was the most shocked and vexed at the same time, she glared at Jasma as the Princess rose walking to Tony, Hareena sat paralyzed watching as she felt her heart sink more and more into broken disappointment, Jasma held Toni’s hands making him stand as she spoke to him with a sudden affectionate stare that surprised Tony and his friends
“The tezra is mine by birthright, you are the wielder and for that you belong to me now Tony of earth,” Jasma turns to Hareena watching as the pain sank deep into Hareena’s heart like a sudden stabbing from a blade, “I haven’t been the nicest and kindest person back on earth especially to you Anthony but what I ask of you now is because I have no choice but to”
“Which is?” Tony asks feeling unsure of the question and his response
“Marry me so that my tezra could unite us and all the kingdoms” staring at her with a petrified look Tony turns to Hareena seeing her eyes well up with signs of tears, he turns back to Jasma who was already smiling
“Yes” he responds, the entire elders, the king prince konam and Queen, except Princess Sahilliyah gyrated in jubilation as Jasma used her elemental red powers to bond herself to Tony saying “now my life is yours and yours is mine, what I feel you feel and so will I, our bond till we all die, my prime majesty and husband to be, anurshtra kush metrad”, all perplexed and shocked his friends stare with disappointment,
“What’s that sentence you keep saying?” asked Jenny staring confusedly
“It means I fulfill my vow to you” replied Sahilliyah who saw the saddened shock in Hareena’s face, not been able to take it anymore she gets up quickly and leaves the hall, feeling the need to go after her Tony almost makes the mistake when Jasma holds his arms and places her forehead to his as he closed his eyes feeling all quite painful rage, the family shout in complete happiness, as Hareena left the room, the king stood up feeling relieved
“Now that the engagement is in place let the entertainment begin, Jasma will you do us the honors” she says with a calm smile as she jumps down to the arena picking a sword the entire family cheer her in support, as she flexed her arms she stared at the prisoner been dragged into the room, it was one of the men who supported the uprising, he was eight feet tall and weighed five hundred pounds, staring angrily at Jasma he looks up to the king as his shackles were been unlocked, pressing his arms tightly he picked a sword feeling a surge of strength, the king yelled from above
“Begin!”
Immediately he dashes at Jasma swinging his sword to cut her in half, she bends down displaying her flexibility, seeing as she fights with agility Tony and his friends wondered all those years how she had been training in private, angered now the prisoner rushes at her clashing swords, realizing she’s good with the blade he slashes it straight at her chin she moves quickly but it gives her a small scratch on her chin, distracted he grabs her by the neck yelling
“For my people lost Princess!”
the guards all draw their swords as her family all stood in fear of him killing Jasma, the king immediately jumps down seeing the prisoner throwing Jasma to the side falling and hitting her head hard, the kings arms quickly turn metal like, the prisoner smiles
“Now that’s a fight worth fighting” said the man, before the slave can strike the king disappears and reappear delivering a blow so strong to the slaves face that he fell completely weakened, walking over him and raising his head the king smiles to Jasma who stood up dusting herself with disappointment
“This is what happens to those who go against us” uttered Jasma quickly stabbing the prisoner in the chest, falling down they all rose jubilating, the king hugs Jasma whispering into her ears
“Never allow anyone embarrass you in battle”
“Yes father” she replies staring at Tony above him who rose and left the hall room with feeling disgusted.
“Besides, you haven’t had a decent fight in years, still a bit rusty but you will catch on” the king mutters grinning at his daughter and looking up towards his queen who nods for him with relief for saving their daughter.
Inside the palace along the dim blue flamed burning chandeliers, Tony strolls through the corridors feeling sorry for himself and his friends, he passes some soldiers and maids who bow their heads in respect he reciprocates, on reaching a quite corridor and sees Hareena sitting on a balcony decorated with night rose plants, she was lost staring into space observing the planets double moon, he sighed walking slowly to her, as she heard his footsteps she whispered with a sad cold voice
“What do you want?” she asks with an angry tone
“I was looking for you but couldn’t find you “he replies sitting besides her feeling confused and lost as well
“I wanted to be alone”
“Can we talk?” Tony asks staring at her tearful dried eyes
“About what, how you allowed these aliens control you or how you just said yes to Jasma without a single thought”
“No Hareena, about us”
“There is no us Tony, there never was” she almost yells “you made sure of that when you agreed to marry that killer”
“I had no choice Hareena” he snaps staring hurtfully at Hareena’s eyes as if wishing she could see reason as to why he accepted
“What the hell does that mean, you didn’t have a choice” she snarls as she sprawled up to leave him
“I am taking my father and friends as soon as he gets better and leaving this forsaken planet, as for you I suggest you do your duties by her and pretend you never where from earth” she scolds him turning to leave
“The king was going to have you all executed” Tony finally says facing down
“What!” Jasma says turning to him quickly in shock
Staring far at the cities which was alive with the planets people going their normal lives
“Kill us why?” she asks walking closer to him
“He and his council agreed I was the only important human they needed since I wield the tezra, but you four were just what they wanted to discard”
“I don’t understand they brought us here, well Sahilliyah did” Hareena confusedly mutters feeling a slight fear
“She tried to change their mind, but these races believe strongly in their ways of absolute dictatorship, everything is almost settled by the sword” Tony explains, touching Hareena by the chin with his right palm as he begs
“Please let me find a way to change the situation, let me understand this tezra and use it against them”
“You’re already getting married to her, you can’t battle all of them” Hareena worriedly says staring at Toni’s tired face
“Let me worry about that, I won’t get married to her”
“Are you sure?” she asks feeling unsure to what his saying “Why did you turn me down?”
“I didn’t, we were lost and I wasn’t completely sane at that moment, I needed time to think” holding her hands he reassures her “Nothing is going to come between us, am going to set us free” he utters with a tight hug to her with his arms around her, afar a shadowy figure spies on them then disappears
“I got to sleep now Hareena, am so exhausted from today’s events”
“Alright, see you in the morning” she says turning and walking away to her chambers, above them Jasma stands using her telepathic ability she frowns with a rage as she knows all Tony was doing wasn’t real, “Humans “silently she whispers with a vile sigh staring at the nights moons fade into the clou
